Assistant managing editor Day editor: Bill Cummings Bob Emerson Night editors George Knight Wen Brooks One Strike on Buck rpilK OREGON DUCK anil the Washington State Cougar met on the diamond for tlie first time yesterday and produced between them a ball game. Oregon and WSC frames arc always bard fought and interesting but lliis game earned some kind of a record—it stole the show from the Cougar’s beliemothian coach. Buck Bailey. It was a close tiling for several innings— not only the game, which grew tighter as (lie afternoon waned, but also the race between the two teams and Bailey for the crowd’s favor. The game drew first blood with Goddard’s home run. Bailey retaliated when Oregon scored in the next inning by kicking over the water bucket. The crowd screeched. After that if was a nip and tuck battle, the lead see-sawing every inning. Bailey drew gales of applause when lie called bis catcher, napping on second base, a “horse,” but interest in the game stormed to the boiling point with another pair of circuit, clouts. * # # JT WAS A SAD thing' to watch, that last inning. Not, only because it saw Oregon slip down into defeat after a gallant stand but because it saw Buck go down, fighting courageously to hold his record. No ball game, at least not for many moons, had ever suc ceeded in permanently cramping the scintil lating Bucks’ style. Aided by Mel Marlowe, his counterpart when on the flWtind, Buck stormed and stomped, rose to new heights — but it was no use—the ball game was a natur al. It emerged Victorious. The thing that lends interest if not dig nity to the antics of Washington State’s color ful coach is the fact that so much of his color is natural, unforced. When WSO plays a. northwest conference ball game, no matter how far from home, there is usually a goodly portion of the ciowd on hand primarily to see Buck perform. Down through the years lie has given a rosy tint, not just to his own teams but to the league as a whole, which contiasts well with the usual sombre serious ness of baseball. Today Buck may regain iiis title, score a win over the national sport. With two such closely matched teams in the liehl, he is going to have a lough afternoon. Personally, we'll be on his side. We just couldn ’t stand another thriller like that last one. The EndrNot the Means 'TMIK KAIKKALD has never had any quarrel with the professed ideals on which the coalition was based. Although elections are today and politics will be tucked back into the moth balls for another 11 months, we want this definitely understood. Our quarrel with the coalition, and it was never a heated one, has centered about two things. The Kmerald stated that a coalition with no common danger or interest to hold it together could hardly succeed and that there ■was little need for such a group. It also ques tioned the right of such a body to set itself up mandatorily as representing campus opin ion. The coalition itas failed but we do not in tend to chortle. We believe it failed because of this lack of a strong common factor to weld its intricate parts together. Its organizers gave the system a death blow when it be came apparent that blocs were forming re gardless of their efforts. They say that in doing so they did not merely drop professed ideals—that they were sincere in their state ments and that the bloc did not split because it refused to back the man of their choice. # # * BELIEVE in their sincerity. It is our firm belief that the coalition was de signed to give wider campus representation and curtail dirty politics. Because the founders were essentially working towards 1he.se ends, we can also hold the belief that they Will give proportion al representation and the preferential ballot a fair and objective trial. This new system should be a long step in the direction of those; ideals on which the group was formed. If it proves to be such after a fair trial, we are confident that the campus leaders who enthusiastically support ed the unified campus movement will put their weight behind it—for we think that bas ically their purpose is to accomplish those ideals by the most feasible means, and they will find the preferential ballot to be the true solution. The Emerald Apologizes "Y’EBTERDAY an Emerald story intimated that the freshman class const it lit ion adopt ed last night was pushed through before the opposition party, which doesn't happen to be in power just now, arrived. We do not know the circumstances of the case but it is apparent from reading the story that the reporter over-stepped his privileges as a news writer and made direct statements as to the time the meeting was called which were attributed to no one. Maybe the constitution was “railroaded’’ through. Maybe it wasn’t. We apologize for our reporter's error, which, incidentally, was not entirely his fault. We do not think he was swayed by any political prejudice. We have no ground on which to advance an ethical hypothesis as to the legality of the motion in question. That is not our business; neither is it our place to apologize for the class au thorities if the procedure was irregular. Both parties are invited to state their eases in the Emerald. The Oracle Has Spoken rJ"'IIK COALITION failed to do it — tin* pref erential ballot hasn't completely brought about the elimination of polities — but the knell of political blocs and horse-swapping sessions was sounded yesterday. The oracle has spoken. Where gentler measures were to no avail, a direct statement 'delivered to heads of houses by the dean of women yesterday ended all campus political meetings by ordering fraternities and sorori ties not Id hold either political dances or ses sions of any sort. The dean's mandate indicated, however, that the meetings of the coalition group were not frowned upon. It is directed primarily at bloc meetings where factions gather and only a part of the campus is represented. interpreted in this light, the measure lies its merits, for, although it is a direct blow at student privileges b\ the administration, it is designed to eliminate the hchind-thc back action, and the political skull-duggery which have made campaigns so bitter (and savory' in t he past. Thus viewed the mandate is much more acceptable, although it is at tirst glance a dictatorial curtailment of rights. Those acquainted with the nature of campus polities will, however, probably agree that anyone who attempts to enforce such a measure is biting oil a prett\ big job.

Ryan, B.S., L.L.B., Manager I.O.O.F. Building, Eugene People We’ve Seen The Fraternity Moodier or Have You A Cigarette? By MARTHA STEWART He was the oesc dressed man on the campus. He always saw to that. When he came to the University as a freshman, he’d looked over ail the houses, and had at last decided upon the one with tne largest number of well-dressed members who were about his size. From then on the going was smooth. At first he went about it cautiously. He didn’t want to offend the boys. He though it wise to acquaint them with his methods gradually. He began first with his room-mate. Came time to don apparel for the day, he'd clap the room-mate fondly on the back. “Nice looking tie you have there,” he'd comment cheerily. If his room-mate only nodded, he’d continue. "In fact it’s just the kind of a tie I've been looking for to go with that grey suit of mine.” Perhaps the room-mate would nod again. Then he'd continue with elaborate unconcern. “Wouldn’t like to sell it to me, would you?” Usually the room mate liked the tie too and would not like to sell it to him, but woulc generously offer to let him wear the tie. From that day forth the room-mate would see it only wher it was tied around the well-dressec one’s neck. Later, after he got to know th£ boys better, he found that thej could be coaxed to offer their suits their socks, and their money with equal generosity. “Gosh,” he'd murmur with a horror stricken expression on his face as he turned out two emptj pockets to a group of sympathetic brothers when they knew he hat a date in twenty minutes. “Gosh, 1 musta lost the money I had. Nov if that isn't a spot to be in! Sweil est date on the campus, and 1 went and lost my money! Well o! all the-!” And the boys would pass around the hat and make uj a. jolly little contribution and sene him off, happy as a king, in the president’s sox, the house-mouse's shirt, his room-mate’s suit, and his own shoes, to be the best-dressec man of the ball. These, though, were only the less frequent tricks of the trade. The} happened only once or twice s week. It used to worry him be cause there were days at a time when he had to spend his own mon ey, and when everybody’s clothing but his own seemed to be under lock and key. However, he had one trick thal never failed. He called it affec tionately, “The Empty Package,’ and it had become so good that he cnly had to keep a package ol cigarettes with him for use wher he was alone. The way it worked was this First, he walked up to a group ol coke-drinkers in the local den oi iniquity and sat down. Then he'e reach into his pocket and pull oul a cigarette package and fumble hopefully in it with his forefinger To Win the Canoe Fete you should get your paints and kalsomine at PRESTON & HALES Phone 665 S57 Willamette -- JUNIOR PROM Corsagj are m order Friday. To get the best, y on must send in your order early. Next move was to shake his heac wistfully. "Empty,” he'd murmur sadly. A. moment later hands would shoo out from all sides proffering cig arettes. It was perfect. It was in fallible. He felt proud and happj because it worked so well. And then one day a slip occurred As was his habit, he walked u| to his group of friends, and sa down with the greatest of ease. Hi reached in his pocket. Out cam the empty package. In went hi finger. A moment of fumbling Then the baffled look, and th shower of cigarettes. He leanei back happily and smoked in peace German Honorary Meets at Banquet: Installs Officer* Delta Phi Alpha, German honor ary, held its annual spring banque last night in McCrady’s cafe.
