What's Wrong With Oregon?
What’s the matter with Alpha hall? Well, what’s the matter
with Oregon ? Several events of fall term call for an internal look
at our university and the underlying causes of that explosion at
£traub last week.
What’s the matter with Alpha? Why, we don’t need men in
our university dormitories “that can be led around by the
nose.” What we need is a bunch of strong-headed, stubborn
individualists that refuse to conform to the smallest part of
the social and activity program at Oregon. What we need is
free thinkers who are so involved in gnawing over their own
little tidbit on tlie platter of life that they refuse to grant tol
erance, let alone attempt to understand or gain something
from the actvities and interests of other students.
We don’t need cooperation on our campus. What we need is
water bags and fisticuffs to end our car parades and serenades.
What we need is boos and catcalls and a shrug of the shoulders
%o indicate that men in the dorms never do anything.
We don’t need consideration of others on the university cam
pus. But what we do need is bigger and better car parades honk
ing around at 11 o’clock at night, interfering with attempts to
study or sleep or be quietly sick in the infirmary.
Oh, what we really need is two fighting factions—one that
can’t see any good in any campus activity and one that eval
uates college life on the criteria of how loud the yells are at a
football game or how many students will stomp around Car
son, promoting their candidate for the top personality kid
contest.
We don’t need student government on campus. We don’t need
or want respect for college leaders. \\ hat we want are students
who won’t vote in college elections so they 11 get started in the
right direction to play their part in a democratic life. W hat \v e
need is a majority of students who don t think student go^ em
inent accomplishes a thing, so they’ll stay home on election day
and let the activity bojror girl with her eye on a Mortar Board
jacket get elected by their friends.
We don’t need a chance in college to learn the social cus
toms of our nation, learn to know people—all kinds of people
with every kind of interest and every outlook on life. We don t
need the broadening influence that a college can provide to
assure a fuller, richer life as adults.
We have a choice of one or two things. We either need to
'spend four years of college living sitting in the library or we
need four years of carousing and marching up and down with
itorches, and screaming our heads off in car parades. \\ e don t
need a sensible outlook on two extremes of college life. \\ e need
a lot of words and as little thought as possible. And we ve got
it. (E.S.)

Education First
Emerald Editor:
Alpha hall is a men’s dormi
tory that borders on the Carson
hall quadrangle. It does not bor
der on Times Square at high noon
nor center in the middle of a
three-ring circus.
The men of Alpha believe In
education first, activities sec
ond. When something disturbs
that policy, there is friction.
Alpha hall, home of the “Al
phaholics,” has the top grade
average of the men’s living or
ganizations. And its “Alphahol
ics” are ready to actively back
almost any worthwhile campus
activity. Currently, they are
planning for the forthcoming
noise parade.
However, they feel that the
unusually high number of re
cent car parades, torch-light
processions, and brass bands
at hours of eleven and twelve
at night are unnecessary func
tions and without justification
(as well as being in open vio
lation of University ruling on
quiet hours). Because of these
things, and with due respect
for study, the “Alphaholics”
have taken the only effective
course available to them in
methods of retaliation.

Dental Students'
Applications Due
Application blanks for the Uni
versity of Oregon dental school in

University students who wish to

and well before March 15, are

Lindstrom Cites
Housing Problem
Housing for married students is
now a problem which every uni
versity and college, including the
University of Oregon, must an
swer, according to J. Orville Lind
strom, business manager of the
University.
Lindstrom reported in an inter
view recently that although the
Amazon project will be gone in
several years, the University has
tentative plans for new married
students’ housing.
Lindstrom, one of the members
of the planning commission of the
University, said that the probable
place for the new housing would
be on the north side of 15th St.
between Columbia and Moss. Five
or six story brick-faced apartment
houses are being considered.
He said that there was a need
for low cost housing for students
and temporary housing for the
faculty. He emphasized that the
faculty should be given tempor
ary housing only, so that the Uni
versity will not be competing with
private business unnecessarily.
There are some dwellings the
University has bought east of the
campus in anticipation of expan
sion, and which it rents to private
parties. Lindstrom stressed that
the rents of these homes were the
prevailing rates and that the Uni
versity paid taxes on these houses
as would any private owner.
