EDITORIAL AND FEATURE PAGE OF THE OREGON DAILY EMERALD EDITORIAL OFFICES Journalism Bldg. Phone 8300—News Room, Local 366; Editor University of Oregon, Eugene Willis Dunlway, Editor Larry Jackson, Manager Thornton Shaw, Managing Editor No Cheers, No Tears A POPULAR song of the day chants in a mournful tone about “Too Many Tears.” But that is not Oregon’s theme song since Dr. Clarence W. Spears saw fit to leave to become head football coach at the University of Wisconsin. Not that we are ready to make our tune "No Tears Over Spears.” Of course, we’re sorry to see Doc go. We’ve always thought and still be lieve firmly that he is one of the nation’s outstanding football coaches. We hate to see Oregon’s great oncoming teams lose his guidance. However, if things were not right here at Oregon, and were threatening to become no one knew what under the regime of a chancellor and the state board, Doc did the right thing in leav ing. A man must look out for himself, and no one else is going to do it for him. But the manner in which he took his departure —violating an agreement after he had once announced he would stay—is what makes the whole affair so unpleasant. The A. S. U. O. athletic and executive councils, after first issuing a statement assailing Spears’ action, has done the only logical thing—turned immediately to the job of selecting a new coach. The King is dead, so long live the King! Oregon still has a wealth of material in men. Her athletes will not turn tramp and hear the “On Wisconsin” call, they have declared. Spring practice is off to a flying start. Now let’s get a coach, forget what has gone before, and go to work. The Collegiate Mite-Box jjiROM LOYOLA university in New Orleans comes a plea to all progressive college editors to provide a ringing answer to the charge of President MacCracken of Vassar college that "students are not influential as they should be in control of public opinion.” “Are we American college students going to take this lying down?” challenges the Maroon. Loyola campus newspaper. "No! it thunders, and proposes a "mite box” in every collegiate lunch room. To prove that college men and women do think, the Maroon pleads with every college editor to make an appeal for relief funds. It asks that students demonstrate their interest in world affairs, presumably by dropping a penny in the "mite box” at every meal—the proceeds to go to the unemployed. And the gen tlemen at Loyola are so “sold” on the idea that they have writ ten every college newspaper in the country requesting endorse ment and cooperation. We heartily agree that universities should endeavor to exert an influence in national affairs. It is for that very reason that the Emerald has undertaken publication of Associated Press dispatches. The editors feel that the University should be an active, constructive force in our social, political and economic life. Institutions of higher education, should function not only for the training of their students, but for the betterment of the state and nation. Intelligent discussion of current problems (not excepting the depression) points the way. But as for “mite boxes"—we are afraid they are hardly signs of deep collegiate thought. And to answer the editors of the Maroon, we fear their plan is inspired but impractical. Try again, Loyola. A Place To Dance *T\HE NEED for an adequate dance hall at the University he ■“"comes more and more apparent as successive all-campus dances are given at various makeshift halls. Neither McArthur court nor Gerlinger hall is an ideal place for all-campus dances. The only other building of sufficient size is old, the floor is rocky, the ceiling very low, and the ven tilation very poor. Oregon students have been requested not to dance at load houses and halls outside the city. We feel if more members of the administrtation were invited to some of the all-campus dances and realize the difficulty of having a successful and pleasant affair in the inadequate halls now available, they, too, might become aroused. Several years ago the University objected to the building of a dance hall across the millracc as being too near the campus. Perhaps if specifications as to size and ventilation and other features were to come up to the administrative par such a pro ject might be given more favorable attention now. We want a good place to dance good floor, high ceiling to make good ventilation possible, accessibility to the campus, large enough so that ticket sales will not have to be limited to 200 or 250. March in Eugene 'T'HE AZUKE bowl filmed with white haze radiates a metal lic brilliance that inspires deep yawns in undergraduates. Dry, hot breezes carry the small of new mown lawns to class rooms where seniors doze. Daisies and daffodils and dandelions and winged ants and serpentining cedar branches; fluttering tatters of an awning, oscillating blades of grass. Black-and-whites, flannels, cords, racquets, drivers and irons, fresh-painted keels cutting the water of the race. March in Eugene. Easter come and gone. Flood waters receded. Opalescent pools in the flat places. Poplars stretch ing high. Willows stooping low. Everything in blossom or iu bud. March in Eugene. A prominent economist on the campus fails to see the justifi cation in the action of the Oregon State Barometer which every other day has thrown a brickbat or two at Dot Spears. The worst Oregon ever tossed at Mr. Schissler, he says, was a well worn apple core.

OREGON STILL WITHOUT COACH; PRACTICE STARTSj (Continued from Page One) the University of Wisconsin and its supporters in urging Spears to break his contract as unconducive to the best interests of intercol legiate relationship. "The Associated Students expect to carry on their athletic program with the usual degree of success. They have changed coaches be fore.” No action on filling other va cancies on the coaching staff will be taken until the new mentor is named. Dr. Spears indicated yesterday that he intended to be in Madison by April 13, and would start spring practice there about that time.

Moore Utilizes \ Vacation Period For Experiments Adding to hi* accomplishments in the field of experimental em bryology, Dr. A. R. Moore, pro fessor of general psysiology, ef fected a cross between a sea urchin and a sand dollar during his ex periments at Pacific Grove, Cali fornia, last week. Although in the same group, sea urchins and sand dollars are of different orders. They have been crossed before, but the ones crossed by Dr. Moore have developed much further than any in the past. A complete new skeleton was formed as a result of the crossing of the two forms. This showed the characteristics of the father as well as the mother, proving that a true cross had been effected.
