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.
When you hear today that your house or hall led the winter
term grade list or that your roommate made 20 hours of A re

the University of Wisconsin and its
supporters in urging Spears to
break his contract as unconducive
to the best interests of intercol

Dr. Spears indicated yesterday

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.
