Letters to the Editor
Dn Anonymous Letters
(Ed. note: We have received another anonymous letter, this
time from “A group of freshmen” who had something to,say
about the effect of poor Oregon spirit on its reputation with oth
er schools. We here repeat what we sard in the Emerald of Oct. 1:
“It is our policy, as was stated in the Emerald of Monday, Sept. 21,
that letters to the editor should be submitted with the name of the
Writer. *
“The reason is obvious. All other opinion that is printed in the Em
erald, be it editorial or columns, is identified as to writer both to the
Emerald and to the reader. We do not insist that letters must be iden
tified as to writer for the readers, but the letter must be responsible,
to the extent that the writer is willing to be known by us as the one
Who wishes it printed.”
We made the above statement as the result of an anonymous
letter from the “bitter student.” We were notified by that student
as to his identity, and immediately printed his letter. We will
do the same for the “group of freshmen,” names withheld from
publication if they desire, if they will make their identities known
to us.
We would rather that letter writers allow theft names to be
published, but we do not insist that they do. (The following let
ter, for example, is published without the writer’s full name, as
he wished only initials to be used.) We do insist, however, that
the writer of a letter be identified to the editor.
Plea to Oregon Students
Emerald Editor:
This is not a letter to the ed
itor. This is a strong appeal to
the whole student body of the
University of Oregon. What is
the problem? And the answer to
that is the very noticeable poor
spirit on this campus.
Naturally the eyes turn first
. to the extremely poor participa
. tion of all students. These same
students wonder why a team
doesn’t win or doesn't even score,
yet when they are called upon to
support that team on a simple
rally which lasts not longer than
30 minutes, they seem to turn
their head and eyes away with
“how silly can college students
; he.”
And they answer, “well, it
, wasn’t publicized.” But what
about the Rally in Portland
. last weekend? Everyone drives
into town for the football game
yet they would not put them
selves out of their way for a
car rally being held in the same
city.
What many of these light
hearted individuals don’t realize
is that these poor responses are
not overlooked by radio broad
casts and newspaper sports
writers.
Spirit is lousy at Oregon,
whether it be at football games
or at the train depot. They will
have to give a few minutes of
their time usually spent at Max
ie’s'or Tiny’s to improve the Ore
gon spirit.
Freshmen are ashamed to yell
because the upper classmen don’t
yell. What would happen to these
poor little freshmen’s reputa
tion? What in H-’s name
would happen to the upperclass
men’s reputation if they hap
pened to yell for a change?
Let’s all get out and show
the rest of the Northwest that
Oregon is not as bad as they
say. Let’s support the football
team and all the teams repre
senting our fine school to the
best of our ability.
