If a team gets into difficulties or has a bad season, the alumni seem to think they are immediately privileged to reorganize the whole in stitution. It's high time some school authorities and boards of education informed them to the contrary. Alumni being good prospects for gifts when schools are hard up for funds have always had too big a finger in the educational pie. A slate university is operated for the benefit of the people of the stale, not for the glory or satisfaction of its graduates. A good policy to promote, but, unfortunately, a hard one to follow.

Tho editorial "kidded" and compli mented Waller, but unconsciously slandered his Eastern Oregon stamping grounds. This is what we read: "Over in tho sagebrush country of eastern Oregon stands waiting a very .stalwart of stalwarts." And then inthe concluding paragraph: "You see how things are. Walter is standing out there on the sagebrush plains waiting for a call." How do they get that way "sagebrush"? Whoever told the Eugene Register that Union county, where Walter stands, is a sagebrush country? Certainly not Frank Jenkins,' editor of that excellent paper, because Frank was over here recently and remarked at the beauty and fertility of the Grande Rondo valley. There's nothing to do but blame this lack of informa tion on Paul Kelty, Register editorial writer, who has resided so long and consistently in the Willamette valley that he probably has come to believe that the rest of the state is eter- THE OPEN ' COURT COKRFRPONDKNTS .

A;aln this Is entirely in line with the president's recent statement that he did not say dis armament by example hut disarma ment by agreement, and that we would tso as low as anyone and the nations could not no too low to suit us.

No, it can't be done. Plains there may be in Tliis is a year of very undependable weather.

And rainfall and cultivation combine to eliminate sagebrush from the picture. We simply refuse to let Walter stand on any sagebrush plains and wait for a call. If he waits for it anywhere in his home valley, we insist that he stand in a pretty field of alfalfa or a advertised. facts. The Eugene Register should be more accurate, even in political editorials, and send a correspondent over' here to find out exactly the surroundings of Walter's stand. Maybe he isn't standing at all. As far as we know, there is lio law against a good potential candidate waiting for his call in a Yesterday we read how an Iowa alumnus jumped all over the president of his university, charging mismanagement as one reason for Iowa's failure to secure reinstatement in the Hi of Ton nfhlotin. rniifprniinn.
