JT'HER'E has long been a growing feeling among the general public that the college youth of to day is soft, that he has been reared in the lap of luxury and can no longer take it like his grand pappy did. But Sunday morning several hundred of our collegians will be able to testify that grand pappy was a piker. Grandpappy may have risen at dawn, hiked twenty miles westward, slain six In dians with his bare hands, and chopped five cords of wood as part of the day’s work, but grandpappy got off easy; he never went to Open House. Hundreds of physical wrecks, once able-bodied college men, shudder when they think of the ghastly ordeal to come. The start, light-hearted enough or the surface, but with an undertone of grim fore boding. The first house. The gay lights. The smiling faces of the new and charming pledges. The good partner in the first dance. The second house) The third house. The fourth house. The growing feeling of weariness. The strained smile. The too-bright lights. The now mechanical-sounding piano, and the same tune, heard for the thousandth time. The girl with the giggle. The girl with the bony knees. The girl who looked like Kate Smith and danced like Camera. The fifth house. The sixth house. The seventh house. The dull, agnozing ache, spreading from the big toe up to the middle of the spine. The excruciat ing agony when two hundred pounds of dainty fem ininity drives a French heel into your arch. The names you never can catch. The piano, now remi niscent of a pile-driver. The dance floor suggesting the Black Hole of Calcutta. The long, long grind from the Tri-Delt down to Alpha Phi. The brief freshner in the Side. The determination to do or die. The feeling that it will be die. The next house. The crawling minutes. The nauseating blur of lights, music, and banal con versation. The creeping numbness. And then. Glory be, the last house. The dances, cons long, and tl last, the hurried farewells and the cool night air. The determination, (hang the expense!) to take a taxi to your own house, four blocks down the street. The last staggering rush up the front walk; and then (oh joy, oh miracle!) the bed. Just the same, though the morning after reveals mangled feet and shattered nervous systems, the sufferer will consol himself by remembering that an ordeal like this builds character, and that those who have been through it together will retain for ever a strong bond of comradeship. New Eldorado or Bust! ANDIDE and Cacambo were very much aston ishecl. “What sort of a country then is this," said they to one another; “a country unknown to the rest of tIre world, and where nature is of a kind so different from ours? it is probably the country where all is well; for there absolutely must be some such place. And, whatever Master Pangloss might say, I often found that things went very ill in Westphalia.” This was Eldorado where the school-kids played hop-scotch with slugs of gold, and where a mean dwelling "was only encrusted with rubies and em eralds, but the order in which everything was ar ranged made amends for this great simplicity.” And now again things go very ill in Westphalia and Candide, by jalopie, by the rods and on the hoof, from Montpelier to Modoc Point, is headed for New Eldorado. An excerpt from the Medford Mail Tribune: "Arrested at the city hobo camp a few days ago on charges of stealing an onion and a potato from a home near there, Tho mas Daily, 47, a native of California, dreaded a jail sentence. “Daily told Chief of Police Clatous Mc Credie 'I hope you don’t put me in there for 30 days, for I have to get back to Cali fornia, to vote for Sinclair. Then X won’t need to work any more.’ "The Sinclair-for-governor man was re leased from jail in time to catch the first freight to California. The onion and potato were returned.” Would it be unfair to assert the probability that many of Sinclair’s adherents are such able econo mists as Mr. Daily? It is wonderful even to this humble student of politics how Upton Sinclair, should he make the most hotly debatable concession to his own genius —that his plan is in every regard workable - should fail to see that the slightest incipient success of EPIC would be its failure. Success of EPIC, or of a plan even more brilliant than Mr. Sinclair could conceive, would attract such a force of poverty to California that it is immediately foredoomed. An augur to the fate of EPIC already shows itself in the dust that is spurned on the roads to California. Pied Piper Sinclair is performing a service for which many an Hamlin town the country wide may feel like blessing him. But, should he triumph in the election, he is going to have a moment of chilled perspiration when he has to leave his pipes and turn to face the hoards he has lead to his big rock candy mountain. The Passing Show The Scholar’s Code pROFESSOR Haig in his address at the openinj of the new academic year of Columbia notes th critical evaluation of the academic circle by its owi members, “marvelously sensitive and accurate,' which constitutes an intellectual code, unwrittei though it be. The standards are not set forth in th statutes of the university, nor inscribed in the by laws of the faculty, nor are they definitely exposei to the public view; but they are none the less ; code “more vital to the welfare of educational en terprises than enrollments, endowments, building: and books.” Its whole structure rests upon “intel lcctual integrity.” A lapse in this is an “unforgiv able transgression, the sin against the Holy Ghost..’ This honesty of intellect becomes increasing!;; important as the scholar’s function expands in thesi days of "bold experiment.” Profesor Haig picture: alma mater watching her brood "waddle confidently toward the back waters of the Potomac.” In thi. expanded field the scholar exposes himself to new dangers: that of pretense and that, of exploitation that of misrepresenting and that of being misrep resented. There is the temptation to exaggerate the completeness of the available fund of scientific knowledge. This is especially true in the social sci ences. His estimates are liable to be colored by what he considers the “desirable destiny of the hu man race.” “The scholar who, in his eagerness to secure social improvement, ceases to be particular in drawing tHo distinction be tween the scientific task of setting' forth consequences and effects and the ethical task of registering his convictions regard ing what people ought to want, and pre sumes to demonstrate scientifically what he knows he cannot so demonstrate, has fallen victim to what he termed the danger of pretense.” He also has to be on guard lest, he and his science be misrepresented by others in their eagerness tc: secure public support for a political program. The more modest the seienties, the morse easy a prey he is to exploitation. By way of advice Professor Haig suggests that the scholar who enters the “arena of party politics” should divest himself of academic regalia lest he rentier his guild, his science, a dis service. A leading Knglish economist is cited as an outstanding illustration of another course: one who. it is said, declined prefers of cabinet portfolios in order "to hold his economic judgments available to any government.” The braver course is to take the risks of office when expert service is demanded, availing of all means at hand to make one's con tribution “modest ami watchful." An instance is re lated of an experl who in his loyalty to the truth of science had to resign and endure insult. As Professor Haig concludes, the event should prove that it is possible in this democracy for the scholar to serve the public and "still deserve to re tain the confidence of that public in his intellectual integrity." That is the cornerstone of his code. New York Times. “On the Bandwagon” By DICK WATKINS IN the interest of houses and in dividual students who are plan ning to gather in a few new times j for their respective phonographs, the following partial list of Octo ber recordings has been compiled. * * * For Brunswick, GLKN OKAY'S ; Casa Loma orchestra leads off with “Learning.” and “Out in the Cold Again.” GUY LOMBARDO'S newest include “Love, Can't You | Hear Me Calling.” “Anything That's Part of You," and "Give Me a Heart t oLing to.” ALL LYMAN comes to life again with two swell numbers, 'Tin in Love," unci "Pop, Goes My Heart.’’ FREDDIE MARTIN, one of the sparkling newcomers in the galaxy of disc maostros has recorded a number of darn sweet tunes late ly, including, "Once in a Life time," "Butterfly," tas lovely a waltz as has been turned out in a blue moon!, "One Night of Love," tfrom the current film success of the same name), "It Was Sweet of Von," "Day Dreams," and "Stars Fell on Alabama."

U -L'i IV WHEN the University was hud ” died into one building, with a faculty of scarcely half a baker’s dozen, there was yet need of in struction below professorial rank. A system of associate and assist ant professorships had not been glimpsed, while candidates for graduate degrees on part time ser vice were, of course, organically and physically impossible. The additional help was supplied by an I order of instructors knuwn as tu tors. Deady hall could provide for but ■ one such tutor at a time. The open i ing of Villard hall made two tutors ' possible. Continued tenure was oc casionally rewarded by promotion ! to full professorship, as was nota ; bly true of John Straub, Edgar | McClure, and E. H. McAlister, the two last being of our own alumni. Professor McAlister, primate in or der of seniority of service, is now, through the transference of his de partment to tire Corvallis campus, PURE QUILL By JIMMY MOIIRISON BOB Moore, author of the inter nationally famous serial, "The Goat Woman," printed in The Em erald, says he made so much mon ey on the publication of his story that he felt he should retire. So he put on four news ones and car ried the spare around his neck for a necklace and he is now thinking up “keen" editorials about gov ernors and stuff. * * * Pure Quill’s star reporter just turned in the following copy: Jack Bauer (the managing edi tor's brother) and Marion John son have plunged into matrimony. That ought to keep things going tor quite awhile. * * * No, Algy, that’s not the moon rising over there on the Phi Psi front porch. That is Bleempo, the Phi Psi bumper. « * * Senator Bluenose Label (they call him Label because he sticks so closely lo the bottle) wants fa i know when Theta Sigma Phi is : going to meet again at the Side, | for he said the announcement of ] the last meeting read: Meeting upstairs, College Side, high noon. * * f BueUy McGowan is very much I elated over the fact that lie's going | to tickle the ivories on “the host; piano on the campus’ tonight at open house.

A thorough persual may something, hut lu didn't say what j it was. a member of Oregon State college's faculty. The first to receive the title was in the University's opening year, Mary Stone, assisting Mrs. Spiller in the conduct of the preparatory department, and succeeded as such in 1877 by Lizzie Boise. With 1882, the University inaugurated a prac tice of elevating its own alumni to tutorships, beginning with Emery E. Burke, ’81. The death, in the following year, of this most ele gant and scholarly instructor was one of the greatest blows Oregon ever received to the disruption of its faculty personnel. His military bearing, his genteel mannerisms, his beautiful bass voice in the Methodist choir, will never be for gotten by those who knew him. Then came two who were an odd pair when they strolled down the walk from Deady,—Benjamin B. Beekman, '84, an erect six-footer, and Absalom C. Woodcock, of ’83, short and stocky. Isn’t it queer to think that these two had to do with such subjects as mental arith metic and the rudiments of Eng lish grammar? Mr. Beekman, son of one of our original regents and now a resident attorney of Port land, often chuckles in recounting his attempts to batter some intel ligence into my cerebral vacuum. A. C. Woodcock’s death, only a short time ago, in an endowed home, passed almost unnoticed save by a very few. Yet his asso ciates used frequently to remark that he could have had any office, no matter how high, at his mere wish. There was in him an obsess ing inertia which thwarted all am bition. Frank A. Huffer, ’86, Seattle at torney, served on the faculty as tu tor four years, reading law dili gently the while and occasionally indulging in roller skating as a pastime at Rhinehart’s hall. He visited a while in Eugene this last summer and is reported to have said that he saw scarcely a person whom he had known in the old days and had difficulty in recog nizing the campus at all. Philuria Murch, ’87, at present residing in West Chester, Penn., modern languages. With her re lease at the close of the session of ’97-'98, the old ascription ceased and assistants, definitely so named, began to be appointed under the new regime of President Chap man.

The purpose of the hobby group was explained by Mrs. Macduff, patron ess, and Dorothy Hagge, president. Marygolde Hardison represented the sponsors for the group. The following officers were elect ed at the meeting: Betty Paunau, society secretary, Elizabeth Ann DeBusk, business secretary. These officers are to serve for one term. The Calliope All communications are to be addressed to The Editor, Oregon Daily Emerald, and should not exceed 200 words in length. Letters must be signed, but should the writer prefer, only initials will be used. The' editor maintains the right to withhold publication should he see fit. To the Editor: I should like to call the attention of interested students and faculty members to the opportunity af forded of acquainting themselves with one of the important mea sures on the Oregon ballot to be voted upon next month. The pro posed healing arts amendment will make certain changes in the re gulations governing the licensing of all individuals who wish to prac tice any heling art (except re ligious or spiritual healing). To understand the effect of this a mendment one needs to be ac quainted with the provisions of the present law. To help students be come acquainted with the present law and the proposed amendment to the state constitution which nullifices that law both the basic science law and the proposed heal ing arts amendment have been mimeographed, bound together and placed in the reference library at Condon. Students or faculty members interested—all should be interested—may there read these two measures. There are no af firmative nor negative arguments included but the full measures ap pear so that anyone who takes the trouble to read the half dozen pages should be able to form an intelligent opinion. It is the hope of those respon sible for placing these copies in the library that two important ed ucational objectives will be rea lized. 1. That students will acquire accurate information on important current events and problems. 2. That students will go to the origi nal source for information, attempt honest analysis, and then form an opinion free from prejudice and on the basis not of propaganda but of facts. Insofar as these two ob jectives are achieved will the Uni versity be justified in the state. Again I urge all University people to read the present basic science law and the proposed heal ing arts amendment and then ans wer one question: Will the people of the state of Oregon be given increased protection by the healing arts amendment or will they be given less protection than is af forded at the present time ? Or perhaps the question might be put another way: Will the people of Oregon be benifitted by removing the present requirement that every candidate who wishes to practice medicine, osteopathy, chiropractic or naturopathy must first satisfy an impartial board of Oregon sci entists appointed by the state board of higher education that he “has a reasonable knowledge of the elementary principle of such sciences.” Very truly yours, Fred N. Miller, M. D. University Physician Emerald of the Air By GEORGE Y. BIKMAN Things aren't going from bad to worse, for today we present “The Poets Converse”—a program to show that poets can verse, and still when we're through you’ll not need a hearse. Four boys and two girls the sextet compose, and you'll hear short selections of verse and of prose. We asked for your efforts this feature to fill, but to date we must state that you’ve given us nil. So if that’s how you feel after all that we’ve done, we'll broadcast without them, you sons of-a-gun. On yesterday’s program the Phi Mu’s were heard and for them we now offer a very kind word. Their harmony sounded to us quite well done, and broadcasting with them was just oodles of fun. A new voice announcing today takes the air—Cliff Thomas— you know, with the blond curly hair. He’s scheduled to help us a few times each week, and Clifford is planning a grand new technique. This line is to tell you that on Monday next you’ll hear for the first time a newly annexted bari tone (we believe) whose last name is Gee—a brother of Leighton, of football, you see. The time of the broadcast is 4:45; and with that we close and go back to our dive. Send the Emerald to your friends. _ cm fAoceos cto&O ..it makes the tobacco milder II 11 llsi §§ g-K; i l:f H I II In the manufacture of Granger Rough Cut Pipe Tobacco the Wellman Process is used.
