Assistants: Hal Heannr Assistants : Rita Wriyrht True Yuletide Spirit—or—A Worthy Cause rJ^0 most students on the campus Christmas means a time of vacation, feasting, and general plenty. Presents, dances, and parties occupy their time; for most of them. Christ mas has always been thus. This year students concocted the idea of extending the parties houses have given in the past for poor kids and of having an all-1'ni versity party with candy, a good dinner, and entertainment for the needy children of Eugene. Investigating, Ihey found tin* Lane county relief association willing and anxious to give them the names of “all you can handle” — the names of under-privileged children to whom Christmas will mean every thing the family can make it at, home hut ■who will nevertheless not he burdened with plenty. The date set for the party is Friday, December 10. Each bouse has agreed to take four kids under its wing for dinner and a party for the youngsters will be held after dinner in Oerlinger hall. * * * ^JANDV has been contributed by local stores, civic organizations are going to donate inexpensive toys. The houses will call for their proteges and deliver them to their homes after the party, presumably in a hap aml more nearly full condition. This is an occasion upon which the house manager ought to willingly open up the draw-strings of the house money bag. Every fraternity man and sorority girl can be cer tain that ever filing he or she puts out is going to the best of causes. Each can he sure of paying in small measure society’s debt to pier and more nearly full condition. Other Editors Believe.... U. OF 0. PRESIDENT (Corvallis Gazette-Times) This colm is not conversant with the reasons the board of higher education may have had for selecting Dr. Erb to be president of the university nor why it reversed itself in its determination to secure somebody far removed from ,the late lamented bitter feeling between the college and the university and which the latter is trying to revive by demanding that it be given “pure” science. Dr. Erb was an instructor in the university under Jimmie Gilbert, referred to by the late lamented board member, Hoscoe Nelson, as “Cata line,” and when most of the university’s effort to hamstring the college was in the height of its glory. So, Instead of getting a man far remote and neutral, it has secured not only a man who was in the fight but one who had his training under that eminent brief writer, Jimmie Gilbert. As Jimmie's former subordinate, it will be easy for him to fall back into his former subordinate role. Jimmie has wanted to be president of the university for a long time and has finally succeeded. .1 THE STATE WELCOMES DR. ERB Except for the sour note struck by Claude Ingalls of the Corvallis Gazette-Times (and that was to be expected) the press of the state quite generally commends" (he selection of Donald M. Erb for the presidency of the University of Ore gun . . . (Eugene Register-Guard) As for the Ingalls’ complaint, it drags up the horrendous thought that Dr. Erb might still be under the influence of the terrible Jim Gilbert, under whom he taught some years back. Claude opines that “Jimmie has wanted to be president for a long time and has finally succeeded.’’ It is difficult to decide whether to assign this libel to malice or ignorance. Certainly it is not very com plimentary to the nine members of the state board who have given this appointment so much careful thought. The best thing we know about the appointment of Erb is that it has produced a new note of hone and faith at the University. There is a disposition to look forward and not back, and it is to be desired that our friends down river will not see in this bit of good fortune any excuse to provoke fights. SIDE SHOW Edited by .... Bill Cummings, Campus 1’aul Deutschmann, National Duds of Oregon students will Itegin arriving on the rumpus this afternoon for the eleventh uiinuu) Dud’s day, which—In the absence of a hig football game or other distracting feature— has been designed especially this year to give the Dads an opportunity to see their sons and daughters in the surround ings of a typical Oregon week end. * * * By virtue of the campus-wide open house tomorrow afternoon, Dads will have a chance to in spect every building on the cam pus, especially the new library, the new men's gymnasium, and the new infirmary. Guides, as well as profs and officials, will be on hand to greet the Dads and show them about, but the sons and daughters will act as the chief escorts for their fath ers. Many Dads will be visiting the campus for the first time, and it is to these especially that an invitation is extended to thoroughly inspect the Univer sity. * * * Tomorrow morning, at the annual business session, the Dads will discuss a problem which is of \ital importance to the University—deferred pledg ing. Perhaps no action will he taken, hut a committee which Has appointed last year lias been making an Investigation of tile matter and will probably turn in a report. If so, the re port will be a deciding factor in the question of whether or not September rush week will be done away with. Among other matters, the -—----__I plan for ('routing a permanent extension uf nwllo station KO.U’ on the Oregon campus will lie discussed. Opinions of the I tads will also bear consider able weight in this important proposal, which Is being pushed by students and University of ficials alike. Chancellor Frederick M. Hun ter will be the principal speak er on the annual Dad’s day ban quet program, which is to be broadcast tomorrow night from John Straub Memorial hall over KOAC. This time a special wire has been strung to the banquet room, and the broadcast will be made by remote con trol. Perhaps next year this and similar events will go over the air through Oregon's own permanent studios. In the Mail PASSING THE BUCK The Emerald, although gain ing quite a reputation for re forms, picked the wrong section of the paper yesterday morning to begin one. The editorial sec tion of the paper is the correct place to begin reforms instead of having a half-feature, half editorial spread across the front page. The article, which was in ex tremely bad taste, because Prink Callison is not here, placed all the responsibility for organization of the latest cam pus club on one man. This is the old army game of "ducking out from under.” Oregon does not have a one-man student body (Ed Lackey I ami his pri vate opinions do not reflect stu dent sentiment in general, even If it is all attributed to him. The Emerald’s policy in hand ling this story shows a distinct unwillingness to put their own neck out by running it in the editorial section but they def initely are willing to have some body stooge for them. The place for student opinion, especially one student, is in let ters to the editor and fun should not be poked at Oregon's coach on the front page of the official organ of the Univer sity of Oregon. Incidentally, Callison's alma mater. The wolves are howling give ’em meat! Russell Iseli. (Editor’s note: We are sorry that Russ Iseli, last year a member of our staff, no longer realizes that Emerald editorials comment on the news but do not make it. We had no intention of making a one-man-student body out of Ed Luckey in fact, we believe he has at least fairly representative support. Because we print the news when it hap pens the story printed yester day was qualified, statement by statement, as a news feature and was in no sense editorial we cannot determine the tempo ral taste of any story. If Iseli From where I SIT By CLARE TOOK All of this talk about Ore gon's "ideal couple” inspires me to create, for this column, two mythical composite individuals, whom I shall entitled the "Ideal All-Campus Girl,” and Ihe "Tdpal All-Campus Man.” The ideal girl might have: Peggy Sanford’s hair, Virginia Regan’s eyes, Gayle Buchanan's smile, Signe Rasmussen’s nose Barbara Ward’s voice, Lorraine Barker’s figure, Margery Churchill’s com plexion, Betty Hamilton's pep, Betty Jane Casey’s poise, Happy Battleson's disposi tion, Barbara F.spy’s friendlircss, Betty Pownall's clothes, Gretchen Smith’s intelli gence. For our all-campus ideal we’d choose: Bill Dalton's hair, , Bill Pease’s eyes, Fred Hendricks’ smile, Noel Benson’s nose, Bruce McIntosh’s voice, Cliff Troland’s physique, Fred Heidel’s clothes, Barney Mali's personality, Chuck French’s sense of humor, Ed Bobbins' intelligence. thinks Luekey is “funning,” ho doesn’t know Luekey. The Em erald has been awaiting the completion of the season to com ment on the matter which Luckey’s club has brought to light,) OMNIPOTENT EMERALD To the Editor: It's* really wonderful, this school paper of ours. It has campaigns just like big dailies. Why only thjs morning they startoit a campaign to rid the school of its varsity football coach, Prince Gary Callison. That is really a brave and cour ageous campaign. Coach Calli son is only 1500 miles (approxi mately) away from school. How about a nice juicy cam paign to fire the mayor ofCel oron, New York. That should produce some real fireworks. Eill Norene. P. S.—The idea is not that I am in favor of retaining Coach Callison, but that I think that this was a poor time to start a campaign. (Editor’s note- Norene's let ter makes us still more sorrow ful for “Irish” still is a mem ber of the staff. Applying his comments to another well known news story, we might ex pect Norene to accuse the San Francisco Examiner of setting the date for the famous earth quake and fire.) COINCIDENCE Mr. Editor: I have heard some rumors that the leaders of the CCCC waited till Coach Callison was in the South to publicize their organization. This was only a coincidence. There was no time to wait till the team returned from the South and till the con ference games were over there was only grumbling among the students. The feeling about Callison has been accumulating since last year at the very least. A very large majority of the students do not approve of Callison as a coach. The oth ers do not have an opinion in this discussion, mainly through lack of concern in athletic af fairs. Most of the students feel that Callison should resign end ing this matter with the least, embarrassment to himself and the school. Jim Mountain. Campus !
