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.

this afternoon for the eleventh

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

turn in a report. If so, the re

Among other matters, the

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!

(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

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

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.
