Chat question, we suppose, has confronted every Eri ‘raid editor who ever took up the administra ti duties that the writer takes up today. That eve, y editor does wish to serve the University to the best of his ability is taken for* granted, but i i,, re are two methods of approach open to him, n the choice between them Is a grave one and i i which will lend a characteristic color to these ( , itnnfl throughout the long year that stretches id. Frequent clashes last year over questions policy make it seem necessary that the new srald administration in its first issue make clear policy Which It will pursue. There are those in authority who would advise an editor that he must be a perpetual optimist — that the sunfehinc of his words must spread a glow ing haze of contentment and well-being over every Tough corner of administrative, faculty and student activity; that he should be a booster with a capital B, and should with an air of Kiwanlan-like com placency and Candide-like simplicity assure the world at frequent intervals that this is the best of ’ ll possible universities. Good sens* Inclines to a different View. Every thing is not perfect on this campus, and the Km erii'd is the only medium by Which difficulties can he tilred and constructive changes of policy sug g -ted to the student body and faculty at large. A policy of complete cooperation with the Univer sity and student administration Is not Incompatible with a critical attitude and inquiring point of view. The Emerald should not hesitate to point out con ditions where it believes improvement could be made. So it is the latter policy which the Emerald feels constrained to adopt. It will not carry a chip on its shoulder, yet it would be ashamed to be laggard in attacking any unpleasant situation that may ob trude itself into the path of the University's prog ress. The Emerald will never stint in its backing of the University's athletic program and will be found in every instance quick to jump to the sup port. of student enterprises which are beneficial to the school and helpful to the students who partici pate in them yet it cannot believe that its mission is that of a glorified house-organ. This frank statement of policy should suffice for the time being. The Emerald will make clear it. stand, after thorough consideration, upon specific projects and situations as they arise. The Emer ald’s administration is not unmindful that the prin cipal purpose of the Emerald is to print all tin news of the campus ahd to print it without bias or ambiguity. If it achieves that end, ttie 1933-31 Emerald will have been successful. STERLING l'\ GREEN THE BEST FIU)SH C LASS \ LOW Vtow to you, class of 1937! You are far from being the greatbst clasp ever to enter our University -numerically speaking, of course. But Jet us assure you that you are the best class ever to enter the University. For you must know that it is a tradition that every freshman class becomes annually the best class in the history of Oregon. It Is an amiable tradition, and it was started by a man whose name is dear to every student who ever entered upou our verdant campu. a. a fiv liman—the late be loved Dean John Straub, to whom is dedicated the Dean John Straub Memorial building. It would be well, freshmen, to enter the Straub Memorial building—more familiar to you possibly as the Men’s dormitory—and look upon the bronze bust that adorns the entrance hall. The kindliness of lineament on that serene countenance is not more emphasized in the enduring bronze than it was daily seen in real life. Dean Straub is be coming a legend now, but to at least half the stu dents of Oregon he is a very dear, very tender reality. He adopted as his special charge each j entering freshman class, and at their opening as- j sembly he greeted them affectionately and under-1 standingly, and passed on to them the gems of advice and knowing counsel that he had garnered in decades of unselfish service to the University of Oregon; then, in concluding, he assured them, as if in confidence, that they were the best class that he had ever seen entering the University. But Dean Straub did not permit his affectionate interest to stop merely with this assurance. Ke was genuinely solicitous for the welfare of his charges, and we will wager that there is not a junior or a senior on the campus who has not been halted on the campus by this fine old gentleman with the black umbrella, and who has not in his memory the recollection of carrying on with him a Conversation that terminated only when the fresh man had to hurry off to class. Somehow it is impossible to dissociate an enter ing freshman class with the memory of John Straub —and since the dean is no longer here to tell you that you are the finest recruits in ..ne long march of Oregon’s history, the Emerald takes upon its unworthy self that duty. Understand, please, that Dean Straub was sin cere. As the years rolled past him, he saw that each succeeding student generation outstripped the last in adding solid achievements to the progress of our school. And in each green-capped class he Visioned deeds yet undone, glowing records yet un written. You, class of 1937, will never wear green caps, and neither will you know Dean Straub. But he is canonized in the hearts of freshmen of other yeats, and he will always remain the patron saint of freshmen. See that you live up to his hopes and his ideals of loyalty, service and sacrifice. It should not be difficult—for you are, you know, the best class that ever entered the University! SUNDAY TENNIS A LITTLE over a week ago Eugene played host to the Willamette Valley tennis tournament. Such well-known tournament players as Mel Dranga, Bob Johnson and many others attended. The opening matches were played on the Univer sity courts as is usual in these instances. The finals were scheduled for Sunday morning, and those in charge of the Lournament had every reason to suppose that they would be played upon the University courts, until an abrupt refusal was forth coming from the head of the physical education department. Had it not been for the courtesy of a Eugene sportsman the tournament committee would have been at a loss for courts to conduct the matches. Last spring term the Emerald spoke with the head of the physical education department and was promised that the courts would be open on Sunday morning. As far as we' know all non-students par ticipating in the tournament paid the ten cents required of them for the use of the courts.- Then just what right had the physical education depart ment to rule them off the courts? Surely they have not forgotten their promise to open the courts on Sunday morning. Such amnesia is indeed alarm ing in the persons of officials who are supposed to govern wisely and well an important school in the University. Suppose they should forget to open the gym some morning ? And yet that is the only possible explanation of this conduct unless we were to accuse them of going back on their promise to the Emerald. Aside from this point, there is the matter of courtesy. The University has obtained a reputation for showing a courteous interest in athletic con tests. It was really quite an honor that a tourna ment of such magnitude was held in Eugene. If the physical education department persists in such unsportsmanlike conduct, it will not be long before all such tournaments seek another city where at least the common courtesies will bo extended them. --- AN EDUCATOR PASSES IN the death Monday of Dr. Henry Suzzalo, higher education lost a staunch supporter and a leader of great vision and energy. It was through his efforts as president that the University of Wash ington attained the heights of academic standing it held until a few years ago. Dr. Suzzalo became head of the northern insti tution in 1915, His insight into the needs of the returning soldiers and of the youth of the state led him to initiate many new courses and to amplify others In the years immediately after the war. The result was that the enrollment increased more than threefold, the opportunities offered there were far above the average, and, incidentally, the appropria tions for the university were greatly increased. Getting these increased appropriations from legislatures drew Dr. Suzzalo into politics where he incurred the enmity of politicians and industrialists who saw their own pet enterprises suffering be cause of tHe financial support won by the univer sity. They combined against him. In 1926 he was ousted by a board of regents under a charge of mixing education and politics. True, he combatted the political machines seeking money for other de partments and projects and successfully but to give the students of Washington greater service and opportunities. Though the great university he built up lias been greatly remodelled with many courses dropped | entirely and others curtailed. Dr. Suzzalo will be j remembered by students and educators for the in stitution he left in 1926. His achievement was rec ognized by his appointment to the Carnegie founda i tion after he was ousted from Washington. Higher education lias lost one of its foremost champions.

The Crystal Gazer - - By STANLEY ROBE 1933-, lU '34 J Innocent Bystander By BARNEY CLARK T3USH week, the annual mad -**• house, is at last safely over. Huuse prexies, broken and wan from the strain of holding a smile over the seven-day stretch, can crawl off to their lairs to lick the wounds inflicted by the tong across the street, and ponder over ways for keeping the new prize package from Harper's Corners from acting too much like ama teur night at the county fair.

Books PEGGY CHESSM AN, Editor — JUST as the New Deal tias effect ed changes in all forms of busi ness enterprises, so has this year's staff of the Oregon Daily Emerald planned certain variations for its literary section that should bring about results equal to those in curred in the revision of the busi ness world. \Ve will do our part 'will you do yours? The column this year will be i formulated around an endeavor to stimulate interest in literature, not only of the current world, but of 'be world closer home our own , caaipu . Works of Oregon profes sors and students will find their 1 place in the section; campus or- i ganizatio’.is dealing with the liter ary world will be"featured; and the i latest fiction and nonn-fiction , books at the old libe or the High Hat library will be reviewed by members of the staff and certain 1 campus professors. i Student criticism or suggestions < will be welcomed, for this column c has been designed to please those c members of the student body who do a great deal of reading. If you i are one of that group and tfye col- i umn does not satisfy you, it has i lost its purpose. Student book re- - views will be acceptable at any time—the staff wants to know your opinions of the books of to day. Speaking of New Deals, for stu dents of modern problems Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt ,has just published a book entitled "Looking Forward." He issues in his conception of the N.R.A. pro gram, his plans for the future, and an appeal to the American public. To study the situation from an other angle, Edward Bellamy has just finished a fictitious study of certain economic and physical changes in the world, and calls his work “Looking Backwards.” Both books are available at the old libe. An explanation of the conditions of the present era is awaiting stu dents in “A New Deal” by Stuart Chase, one of the many new books at the Co-op High Hat library. Tomorrow: List of new fiction and non-fiction books of interest to students. I Mannequin By PATSY LEE A ND so another school year * *- starts—! And with it arrive new styles, both extreme and prac tical, to the discriminating eye of the co-ed and collegian. This column, successor to Carol Hurlburt's Promenade, will not -only describe the newer angles on dress, but will bring other inter esting happenings about the cam pus to your notice. So let’s start out with some of the main topics of autumn dress Campus and sport clothes are 'ultimately the most important part of the college wardrobe. We wear them most continually, and therefore they should be selected as carefully as our best formal, j Everything is “up to the neck in smartness." In other words, sport .clothes, campus togs, formals, and dinner dresses are absolutely up [.to the base of the neck. Soft wool lens, especially plaids, are gaining top-notch favor in the selection of j every-day wear. The louder the [plaid, the smarter you are. Many of the leading designers are sub tracting the belts from the street < frocks and are supplementing the , contour of the ensemble with a tunic. The coat-frock is especially practical for college wear. And now for colors. We all know (that black is "it." When in doubt (about any affair, wear black! I You’ll be right nine times out of nine, I am willing to wager. Brown the soft, warm browns especial ly are returning to milady's street ensembles. This rich color is con trasted with green red. or white. The latter combination i quite ! sportish and very correct. « « # A contrasting swagger coat is a complete necessity to be packed in the co-ed’s wardrobe. Nothing . is so practical as a swaggvi or 'polo cca* to wear cvci your '"uo1 or knit dress when the weather ooks most uncertain, which is fre lent. And that reminds me A revolu ion has taken place in the land of •ain coats. They are no longer he drab, unattractive things which ve hated to put on a year or two .go. One is almost glad to wel ome the rain if she is the owner if one of the soft white rainproof oats which I saw not so long ago. ’his piece of raiment had a smart nilitary cape of the same mate ial which not only added to the general chicness but guaranteed WELCOME - - - New and old stu dents to Eugene and the Oregon qampus.

The sleeve is the thing. Exag erated here or puffed out there— it makes no difference where, but the sleeve must be outstanding. In fact, you are going to get a whole column about sleeves. They are much too important to pass off in a single paragraph. * * * And now—for a few last tips: Gloves fashioned from the same material as the hat and scarf are extremely up-to-date. Your hat must have either an extremely low crown, or an extremely high crown. Fur is again on everything, and it looks as though it will stay for some time, and last but never least (this Is for the men) the smartest overcoat is the wrap polo type with the pleated back, minus the buttons.
