Yen sir. that was really something.
A big. gangling kid standing alone in front of H17H fain, and
it was really great. It was something wonderful to see. and it
was something wonderful to hear.
One night before, he’d lost his composure, clambered up into
the stands and let out his pent up frenay on a basketball fan
who'd been handing him a merciless riding. And people won
dered what was wrong—what was the reason—what had the
fan said. But now. who cares.
The big kid won the love and admiration of all who heard
him.
There was something unprofessional—unpolished dR»ut
Bob Peterson’s public apology, and had it been otherwise, t. e
sincerity of the gesture would have been lost.
There has been some question as to whether the big tel low
did it on lus own, or was put up to it. It just deesn t make a
particle of difference. He didn’t hav e to if he uidu t want to.
"Pete” was standing alone out there: far as we were con
cerned there wasn't another soul within fifty feet of him—but
after his first sentence was out. he wasn t alone anymore; he
had the whole place with him, every last person.

Today, when basketball has been dragged through the
stinking mud of public scandal, it was indeed like a blaring
trumpet in the black stillness to have big Pete reach up. before
our very eyes, and touch the highest pinnacle of good sports

You missed the scoring title. Pete, but you won am ■’ cr,

Koyl Cup winner . . . Emerald Editor, 1949-50 . . . Campbell
Club president . . . Don Smith is hardly an unknown n the
Oregon campus.
His convictions have been strong, and there has been plenty
of courage to back up those convictions both in the Emerald
and the Executive Council. Don has displayed a keen mind in
council discussions, and although his argument has not al
ways come out on top, opponents have always respected his
stand.
Extensive knowledge of campus affairs—both past and pres
ent—have added to his value on the council.
He has served the students and the council well. The Don
Smith vacancy it a huge one to fill.
