'Cordial Supporter' Sprague
'TM’IE CONTACTS between 1 Ik* stale* system of higher educa
iion and the eliief executive of the state* are not num
erous, ))111. they are important. Therefor, if is with "real
elieer that the University of Oregon may extend congratula
tions to Cliarles A. Sprague, governor-elect, who has sig
nificant ly labeled himself “a cordial supporter of higher
education ...”
The plight of the University and the state system as a
"Whole is a serious one. The election of a man who is willing
to recognize this plight is a spur to those who hope* to see
better times on the state campuses.
AGREE implicity with Mr. Sprague's hope ‘‘to see
the institutions make progress . . . the steady strength
ening of faculties and raising of standards.”
It is through these methods that educational progress
may be achieved. Unfortunately for the cause of higher
education, in the past the means of advancement has been
stymied by that perennial bogey —lack of funds. The
strengthening of faculties has been an impossibility. The
mere maintenance of an adequate staff has been difficult,
with promising professors being lured away by offers of
other institutions, with the winning of qualified men to re
place and to add made impossible, and with over-crowded
schedules taxing the efficiency of lliose who have remained
through the lean years.
# * «< #
'JUIU OTHER facts about the state system of higher educa
tion are probably well known to the governor-elect..
It. is his duty as chief executive of the state to be interested
and informed upon the various departments, and in his mes
sage to us, he has indicated both interest and knowledge
in the part of the government which affects us most.
So Mr. Sprague is welcomed to the battalions of those
who are striving for higher education in Oregon. May In*
prove a worthy warrior.

When a fellow can't express a

too much time to pal with one girl
when he has obligations to anoth

Dear Butch,
You're right! Plato was not a

are the girls who are frank
enough to admit (few as they are)
that they have a “fire for someoi^

If you think it better for them
to conceal their real feelings and

after staking all your cards on
what you believed to bo a "live in

Round 'n About
WITH WEN BROOKS
T suppose all parents enjoy
telling about the clever . . . and
otherwise . . . antics of their
offspring. The telling often is
quite discomfiting to the off
spring themselves but this nev
er seems to bother the older
ones.
When I was quite a bit small
er than I am now the folks one
Sunday hied me off to a large
Episcopal church in Indianapo
lis to be christened. Following
the usual procedure in that
church at the time, the bishop
dipped a large sea shell in a
basin and then proceeded to
pour the contents over my head.
Guess I made some sort of a
scene. At any rate, my little
sister, who had been watching
the proceedings from a pew
midway back in the church,
now ran down the aisle shriek
ing, “Not for Peggy! Not for
Peggy!”
Whenever the folks happened
to be passing that church after
that with friends, and Peggy
happened to be along, she would
proudly point to the building,
“That’s where brother gets his
hair washed!”

When Fritz Kreisler was in
town Monday the girls at one
of the houses decided they
would like to speak to the
maestro. They phoned the Eu
gene hotel. When Kreisler an
swered the phone in person the
girls didn’t know what to say.
After stuttering around a min
ute, one of them finally came
through with, “Would you sere
made some of the sororities fo.
right?”
Mr. Kreislor answered quick
ly, ‘‘It would he fun. It would
be fun. But I have to leave
right after the concert.” What
next, little girls , . . what next!
Speaking of Kreisler: it was
brought to my attention Tues
day that students . . . many
college students ... do not ex
ercise the common courtesy of
leaving quietly when they do,
for one reason or another, find
it necessary to leave before a
concert has been completed.
Just put yourself in the mas
ter’s place on the platform as
Joe Jones suddenly decides he’s
had enough and prefers to be
back at the house. You are
concentrating on giving a good
performance when you sudden
ly hear feet scraping, banging
about, and some raucous voice
proclaiming to the world at
large, “Come on. Let’s get out
of here!” Or something similar.
How would you feel ?
Did you know that Paul
Cushing and Ida Mae Farrel
are just like that? Should have
seen the Theta Chi handcuffed
to Ida Mae Farrel, Alpha Chi
O, most of yesterday. The pair,
.needless ..to ..say, ..are., going
steady. And from the looks of
things yesterday both parties
were making sure the other
wouldn’t get away! Quite def
initely!
