Look It Over for Yourself
^JOMPLAINING about Ihe Co-op is perhaps 1 lio most per
ennial form of time-passing indulged in by Oregon stu
denls. From every side come “beefs” on paper prices, text
book costs, policy in regard to seeond-lmnd books, profits,
rebates, rent, and so on all infinitum. The Co-op, most any
student will tell you, is fleecing the students, is not a co
operative at all, will not buy second-band books, does not
employ enough students, and is making a terrific profit.
Aaetunlly, tin* store is selling supplies and books to stu
dents on the basis of a 24.3 per cent mark-up on the basis
of costs. Tls net profit during the past year amounted If)
only 2.15 per cent No private business would be willing to
operate long on such a basis. A total of 2(i students are em
ployed part time earning i)t2,f>‘56.4G. The Co-op does purchase
second-hand books as much as possible, and contrary to stu
dent charges does not “get rich” when faculty changes make
a book obsolete.
« # * #
pOLICIES of the store are guided by a student board 1o
which Manager McClain reports much in the same
fashion that George Root reports to the educational activities
board. This board decided that Ihe profit and loss sheet
should be published in the Emerald. Accordingly the report
is carried in the columns of today’s paper. The facts are laid
before the eyes of critics with the hope that they can offer
some constructive criticism.
Actually the report shows some very encouraging facts.
The gross business of the Co-op amounted to more than
$70,000 last year—an increase of almost $20,0000 over a year
ago. If thi' practices of the store were so bad it is difficult to
see how its business would increase. Another factor which
should be considered is that the Co-op today is worth $33,
353.95, in stock and equipment. This capitalization has been
built up Trout nothing without, charging exorbitant mark-up
rates. The profit of $1,624.86 indicated in the report will go
for additional supplies, for equipment which will he neces
sary when the store moves into the humanities building, and
for a reserve fund in times when heavy purchases arc
necessary.
The story of the Co-op seems to ring true. The Emerald
will welcome any just, criticisms of the set-up. If it is wrong
it should be changed. As we look it over, we find nothing
capable of being challenged.
Superiority Streamlined
JOSEPH Pulitzer is probably turning over in bis grave at
this moment, and Horace Oreeley who once suggested “(Jo
West ....’’ as a prerequisite of success to young men, is
probably post mortem begrudging that journalistic advice.
William Randolph Hears!, who out-yellowed all yellow head
line artists, will probably call a senate investigation com
mittee if he knew the stark truth of this latest side-show—•
the final judging of superior journalism that was decided iu
the Igloo yesterday, the Emerald versus the Barometer.
While there are countless methods of proving the super
iority of journals and journalists, the byline-artists of Cor
vallis and Eugene have distinguished themselves by an ingen
ious bit of diplomatic maneuvering to answer for once and all
the aged question, “Which paper is the better—Emerald or
Barometer?’’ While we are constrained by modesty, peculiar
to journalists alone, of saying, “so there; the Emerald wins,”
still the reading public should and must know the truth if
honest journalism is to survive. The truth (naked) : Emerald,
32; Barometer, 28.
# # #
^^OCCASIONALLY, we must admit, albeit reluctantly, the
eminent four-sheet alleged newspaper, the Barometer,
sometimes scoops the peerless monument of Oregon journal
ism, the Emerald. .More often the doughty Emerald, nur
tured by the cream of talent running berserk around the
Oregon school of journalism, gives the Barometer an inferior
ity complex by its skilled strokes of journalistic artistry. And
also occasionally the Barometer rises to heights of Parnassus
with poetic license while the Emerald contents itself with
dull and effortless reporting of facts.
But there are questionable assertions here; the Corvallis
writers will, on first reading this, form a coterie of military
challengers to invade the Oregon campus iu dispute. Fairness
causes us to admit that often the Barometer is right and the
Emerald, alas, is wrong.
glT that is what keeps journalism in this heetie era from
becoming stalemated with unilateral control of govern
mental bigots; it is what keeps alive the healthy food America
survives on. argumnetative persuasion and contestable dis
suasion. We grant, with tongue in cheek, that the Barometer
“ain't so bad” at times, lint which is the better paper? Who
is to say. and by what right may lie fairly judge?
I util better and more equitable ways are found to settle
this great question, the journalists of the two schools will
continue in the future to use their own weapons, and no holds
barred. The only discrepancy in the first tussle was the
absence of Bill Tugman and Claude Ingalls as officials.
The scoreboard to date: Emerald 1. Barometer 0.
Diplomats take notice.!—V.C.
RSV P
(Editor’s note RSVP, a very
unusual feature of the Emerald,
will be neither regular nor oc
casional, but will he necessary
from time to time when Hank
Garnjobst, sports editor of the
Oregon State Barometer, takes
the name of Emerald Sports
Editor Hawkins in vain.)
Three things stand out as
contributing to the general wel
fare of Corvallis. One is the
state college, another is Mary’s
river, and the third, alas, is
Hank Garnjobst, sometime
sports editor of the Barometer
and undeniably the noisiest pro
vocateur since Hermann Com
ing, the brass section of Herr
Hitler’s German hand.
It is the native right of the
Barometer, we suppose, to fill
up space that otherwise would
be completely blank, so we ex
cuse the existence of that brain
bleeding column paradoxically
called: “It’s the Straight
Goods.”
The latest tirade of Mr. Garn
jobst, while not printed in red
ink, smacks boldly of libeling
the person of Emerald-writer
Hawkins, as shy a man as ever
called himself a journalist, and
who inherently is so honest that
he wouldn’t gyp a slot-machine
with a plugged nickel. The bla
tant charge of the Barometer’s
bad-weather journalist is that
Mr. Hawkins erred deliberately
in saying that one A1 Stitt, bro
ther of Don, G-foot basketball
player on Slats Gill’s team, left
the University and transferred
to Oregon State.
Now whether or not A1 Stitt,
or Joe Bloke, Jr., or Eiorello La
Guardia II, is going to Oregon
or Oregon State is not of imme
diate concern. The fact is, con
cerning the column-long journ
alistic endeavor of Mr. Garn
jobst, A1 Stitt's letter to John
Warren says, quote:
“I decided that I didn’t like
to be at a different school away
from my brother, so I packed
my stuff . . . .” (His brother is
at Oregon State).
* * «!
When it comes to chiding
harmlessly between two college
publications, such as the worthy
Barometer and the Emerald,
certainly no one is going to
protest. But we blow cold on
dead-fish columnists who seek
to breach the peace and ruffle
the oiled waters of honest re
porting. Mr. Garnjobst does not
confine his ignoble ramblings to
this charge, either, but every
other night or so sleeps on a
concrete floor and his first im
pulse on arising is to lambast
the Emerald and the University
over some simple think like
“alibiing the loss of a Rook
Frosh game, or to stick pins in
the soft soul of "Honest John”
Warren whose only offense in
the world was to get all the
good Astoria ' basketball talent
to enroll at Oregon instead of
Oregon State. Mr. Warren, let
it now be said, is justified in
this dastardly trick because he
was well aware that any Astoria
basketball players, who in high
school think nothing of running
a dozen miles for warm-up exer
cises, would freeze to death in
the chilly system of “percent
age” basketball as played at
Corvallis.
If you can’t find young Stitt
at Beaverton, Mr. Garnjobst,
maybe it’s because he heard the
welkin-ring of your literary
snores and got scared. Of that
we bid you adieu.
“It's the Straight Goods,” is
it, Mr. Garnjobst? Brother, it’s
the bunk.—V.G.
Sophs to Begin
(Continued from pane our)
fin, rally committee member and!
Skull and Dagger man, went to
work immediately on the task of
preparing for the whiskery dance
in February.
Concerning enforcement meas
utes for recalcitrant moleskin j
wearers, Staiger said he was lining
up the traditional strong - arm
squad of "beef trusters” to see that
there will be no straying from the
shaveless path.
The millracing question was still
up in the air last night, with Stai
ger reporting he had heard noth
ing about any official ruling con
cerning dunking in the swift-flow
ing waters.
Sophs to Get Busy
Proud of his class treasury
standing, Staiger said he wanted
all card-holders to know they stand
a good chance of getting into their
Whiskerino either with a 100 per
cent reduction or with a nominal
charge. The sophomore treasury
report Tuesday night showed more
than $600 in the class coffers. i
Planning to Travel Soon
Those six women speakers . . . will travel to almost 50 Oregon eities soon to talk on “Youth Prob
lems.” Left to right the group includes: Darlene Warren, Florence Sanders, Carol Byrd, Lois Nordling,
Pearl King, Doris Leighton, and Don Hargis, their eoaeh.
Travelling Symposiums' Troublesj
Recounted by Instructor Hargisl
By LOIS NORDLINO
A fan dancer is the biggest competition that the men's or women's symposiums have run into in the
estimation of D. E. Hargis, instructor of speech, who with W. A. Dahlberg, assistant professor of speech,
is preparing the groups for travel.
“It was last year in Lakeview,” Mr. Hargis remembered. “The symposium was allowed half an hour,
but the fan dancer came first and by the time she had answered encore after encore, there were only j
five minutes left tor the speakers
to tell about “The Supreme Court
Issues.”
“Granges were at lot of fun,”
Mr. Hargis, trainer for the women,
went on. “The girls had to do old
folk dances, Virginia reels, square
dances, and play violent games,”
he laughed, admitting that he had
engaged himself in conversation
with some old men in a corner.
Traveled in Circle
Then there was the Long Tom
grange that they couldn’t find.
“We went miles and miles before
we found out that we had been
traveling in a complete circle all
around the place,” he said. “We
stopped at farm houses, braved the
barking dogs, and finally found it.”
Every place the group went they
were given something to eat. “And
those women can certainly eat,”
Mr. Hargis smiled. “In Roseburg
we bought hamburgers and carmel
sundaes, and then went to a
grange, getting there just in time
for a potluck supper. Yes, they had
second helpings.”
Looking
Back....
With WILBUR BISHOP
One year ago—The “Letter
men's Limp” annual dance
sponsored by the Order of the
“O,” was discontinued by ac
tion of the Student Discipline
committee. It was believed that
if the half-time ballets were
left out, the limp might possi
bly be reinstated in the future.
Five years ago—Acting Pres
idents C. V. Boyer and George
W. Peavy at the University of
Oregon and Oregon State were
vested with full executive pow
ers in their respective schools,
at a session of the state board
of higher education.
len years ago—John Kitzmil
ler and George Stadelman, Ore
gon football stars, were pre
sented bronze medals by the
New York Daily Sun for hon
orable mention on the mythical
all-American eleven. Howard
Maple of OSC was the only oth
er football player from this
state selected by the Sun.
Twenty-five years ago—First
semester exams were scheduled
to begin.
No one could attend the Sen
ior Lottery dance unless prop
erly masked and costumed.
Thirty-five years ago — A
number of terrifying ghost sto
ries and a vocal solo helped to
make very enjoyable a recep

“At Linfield there was a huge
piece of plaster that was about to
fall clown,” Mr. Hargis pictured
it on the ceiling of his office. “And
it was right over the heads of the
speakers. X spent all my time
watching it.”
It was there that they were
given the auditorium in the men's
dorm for their symposium. The
men went in and out in their
pajamas, sat in the balcony and
ate candy and fruit.
Elevator Romance Recalled
Mr. Dahlberg went back several
years for some of his stories on
the men. With the help of William
Lubersky, who was on the sym
posium team two years ago, he
told about the fellow who fell in
love with an elevator girl on one
of the trips.
“The brightest hours of his day
were riding up and down in the
! elevator until he found out that
she was married to an Oregon
Stater and had a 3-year-old child,”
Mr. Dahlberg recalled.

There was one bed.

Three Divisions
By MARGARET VOTING
I So evenly matched that they ■

Alpha Phi and Hendricks hall bas
: ketball teams battled to a close
victory, 27-26, in favor of the
Alpha Phis. Neither team gained
much of a lead over the other at
any time during the 24 minutes of
j actual play yesterday.
Helen Howard, captain and for
ward for the Alpha Phis, connected
on seven field goals and one free
throw for 15 points and the title
of high scorer. Only one point be
hind her was Hendricks’ Ethel
Dixon with seven field goals.
Interesting Game
Miss Ruth Russell, one of the
officials, remarked afterwards that
it was the best game she’d seen
this season. The other official in
yesterday’s game was Miss Mildred
Snyder.
Three groups, A, B, and C, have
been formed among girls’ intra
mural basketball aspirants, Miss
Beverly Young announced. Each
house within a group will play
each of the other houses in that
group; the winners of A, B, and
C divisions will meet then in the
championship play-off.
These divisions include;
