To A Winning Team
It's not too unusual for this campus to ignore some of its
most active representatives. There’s one group we’re especially
referring to—a group who have done a lot to further Oregon’s
prestige on the West coast and as far away as New York.
We’re referring to the Oregon debate squad.
They’ve done a lot ot hard work and haven’t gotten much
publicity or notice. We think it’s time to congratulate them—
and thank them.
We know it takes a lot of time and effort to assemble
the facts necessary to formulate a good argument. Especially
if that argument is going to stand up against some of the
top debators in college today.
Y'ou don’t win debate tournaments by just talking—it takes
digging for facts your opponents might not know, it takes
digging for obscure facts your opponents might know and toss
at you unexpectedly, it takes knowing all the facts about the
topic—and knowing them well.
And, of course, it takes an ability to present these facts in
a coherent, organized manner.
The Oregon debate squad under their director Herman
Cohen seem to have what it takes. This term they won first
place in the Pacific Forensic League tournament at Corvallis
and two of their members were selected ^to participate in the
West Point Invitational debate tournament.
The invitation to compete in the West Point tournament
•came after Oregon’s excellent showing in the Linfield Forensic
tournament of Champions March 4 to 6 at McMinnville.
Washington State college was the only other West Coast
school invited to the tournament.
The debate squad has been an excellent representative of
Oregon. And it’s been the kind of representation we like to
see. They deserve a thanks from all of us—it takes work and
time and speaking talent to win debate tournaments.—(J.W.)

Seniors Advertise Picnic;
Last Reunion in Year 2004
By Sam Frear
Emerald Columnist
In the memorandums distribu
ted to the current seniors there
was a rather sad announcement
that the senior picnic this year,
if any, would have to be a BYOL
affair due to a very meager class
treasury. My, my. Isn't it nice
that being a senior entitles a per
son to official recognition of ma
turity. This must be an auto
matic sort of thing. A junior is
yet an adolescent, a senior a man
(or woman as the case may be).
Or should we interpret the L’ to
stand for “lunch" ?
Ill this same paper was a no
tire of future
das* minions.
Some very
optimistic per
sun reucheil far
Into the un
known and sel
ected the year
2004 hh their
final encamp
ment on the old
campus. This
means that we
Juniors will have ours in the
year 2005. I can hardly wait.
Speaking of the twenty-first
century (sans Buck Rogers»,
some of us were speculating on
how one will say the year 2004.
It could be Just plain old ‘'Twen
ty-four." Or manybe “twenty-O
four,” or how about "two thous
and and four.” Purely academic,
but .1 suppost you could spttle
the whole matter by saying just
“O-four.” I imagine there will
be darned few centenarians
around to object.
Getting back to the present,
something should be done for
those of us who jutft aren't in
the swim. At every pleinie or
beerbust someone usually
starts brewing out with all of
these collegiate songs that we
don't know. Consequently, we
•don’t know what to do but JuM't
to nit and listen to the dishar
mony. Perhaps some enterpris
ing soul could compile a little
booklet on all the songs that
everyone “must" know If he
wants to be accepted. That In,
If he or she really wantN to be
accepted.
Up on the top floor of Vlllard
a group of students assemble
every night to make out with the
music and stuff for our own
KWAX. They go to a lot of
trouble and time for a very limit
ed audience. So anyhow, a hat la
tipped to these people. They're
doing a good Job.
Sorry to say, a hat can't be
tipped to the managers of the
Fishbowl cafeteria. The cake and
pie still gets stale, the coffee
still tastes like dishwater, and
the service is still pretty had.
N’o more flnhbowl mixers for
the rest of the year. Some lots.
I-a-t's not liother to resurrect
them for next full.
Have a little patience, the
spring term activities are almost
finished and then we can all set
tle back in the little time remain
ing and relax. Or we can try,
anyway.

Expression of Thanks
Emerald Editor:
I would like to express my ap
preciation to all those people
who supported me in the past
election. It was a great experi
ence to have so many people ac
tively participating to make
their ideas and ideals known.
I only regret that I have no
way of really showing my grati
tude except to say thank you.
thank you very much.
