The Journalism School Of all the schools on the campus to handshake, this one’s the best bet. They control the scandal and pub licity of the school and for that rea son are much sought after by politi cians and the like. It is a much debated reason why the majority of journalism students take this subject. There are several classes: There are some who have read of the romance of the press (newspa per, not cider), and are quickly disil lusioned by some of the hardboiled instructors who quickly take the ro mance out of it for them. Then there is the type who are believers in fate. They take whatever providence has fitted them for, and in this case, hav ing such lovely large ears to stick pencils behind, they decide upon journalism. Oh yes, and among oth er classes, there are those who in tend to make it their life work (work is correct). There is a popular supposition on the campus that journalism students are queer, that they all smoke, that they are unkempt, that they never sleep, that they don’t know what a shoe shine looks like, that they don’t study, and that they are all sooner or later kicked out of school because of com munistic news articles. We of the journalism school, rise in protest. We had a shoe shine just last month. If you see a wild-eyed personage University of Oregon 125th ANNIVERSARY Originally published on Oct. 29,1930 running along the campus with his long nose close to the ground, a copy pad in hand, a pencil behind his ear and a sheaf of notes in his other hand, it’s possible that he is a journalist. If his hair is blowing in the wind and the toes are out of his shoes, not to mention his stooped shoulders received from bending over a typewriter, you may be posi tive that he is one. You will see members of this school wherever you go, from facul ty teas on down the line to the week ly event at dreamland dance rink, where they run in search of scandal. Journalism is very popular among freshmen girls because their Emerald work gives them an excel lent excuse for staying out late. Many are the rumors of the wild events which transpire at the shack. Be these so or not, you can be pre pared to believe most everything. Source of ‘All Hallows’ Eve’ unveiled Wordwatch Merriam-Webster (KRT) Q. I know that “Halloween” derives from "All Hal lows’ Eve,” but that’s not particularly illuminating. What does “All Hallows” mean? A. “Hallow” comes from an Old English word mean ing “holy man” or “saint,” and “all hallows” refers to all the saints in heaven. Nov. 1 is observed according to Christian tradition as All Hallows’ Day (more familiar to most of us as All Saints’ Day), making Oct. 31 “All Hallows’ Eve” or “All Hallow Even” or “Halloween. ” The secular observance of Halloween derives ultimately from Celtic tradition. According to the ancient Celtic (and Anglo-Saxon) cal endar, the new year started Nov. 1. On the last day of the year, Oct. 31, the Celts observed the festival of Samhain by burning huge bonfires (to scare away evil spirits) and, ac cording to one source, by dressing in costumes and masks. The Celts believed that the souls of their departed friends and relatives returned home on Samhain. The connection was made between the day and the appearance of ghosts and goblins. The Church later adopted Nov. 1 as All Hallows’ Day and Oct. 31 as All Hallows’Eve. Q. Could you please tell me where the term “redshirt ing” originated in its football use? A. Exactly where the term originated isn’t clear. Our evidence goes back as far as 1950, when “red shirt” ap peared as a verb in the Birmingham (Ala.) News. The practice of “redshirting” no doubt predates the applica tion of the term to it. “Redshirting” is a strategy employed by college ath letic teams, whereby a player slows to a five-year aca demic program, takes usually the sophomore year off from playing and presumably gains strength, ability and maturity. The basic etymology of “redshirting” is clear enough. To distinguish the players in their noncompeting year from eligible varsity players on the practice field, the inel igibles wear red shirts — hence the name. The players themselves are referred to as “redshirts” and are said to have been “redshirted” when they are put on the program. ©2001 Merriam-Websterlnc.
