NIPPING IT IN THE BUD
The movement toward invoking the
referendum on the University appro
priations seems to be meeting with
overwhelming opposition at the very
outset of its career. The thinking
men and women of Oregon realize the
pernicious effects which would result
if such a movement were allowed to
succeed. The great forces in Oregon
which stand for practical and effi
cient education, are already begin
ning to organize for the purpose of
downing the effort to stir up agita
tion toward consolidation.
The two state institutions have dis
tinct and equally important tasks to
perform. The Agricultural College
has its work in preparing men for
the crafts, trades and industries, and
every year it is turning out men of
skill and efficiency who carry on the
work of developing the resources of
our great state. Nothing should be
done to hinder or to discount this val
uable work.
Experience in other states, however,
shows that where this phase of edu
cational work is combined with that
of the University, it becomes subsidi
ary and gradually assumes a place of
minor prominence. At the three
classical examples of combined state
Universities, namely Wisconsin, Cali
fornia, and Minnesota, this tendency
has led recently to active steps to
place the agriculture and industrial
departments upon separate campuses
located some distance from the parent
institution.
University work is of a more ad
vanced nature than that of the man
ual arts. It comprises professional
courses, research work, graduate stu
dies, and the higher arts and sciences,
which in actual practice do not com
bine well with work of the other type
for the reason that when they are all
together they dominate it. In order
that each department may succeed to
its fullest possibilities, they must re
main separate institutions. For this
reason friends of both institutions are
joining in the effort to remove all
danger of the catastrophe of consolida
tion.
The first step in this fight seems to
he the withholding of' the funds granted
by the last legislature for the growth
and maintenance of the University,
with the idea that by weakening the
institution it will become easier to
affect consolidation.
However, people really in touch
with the situation recognize that the
funds granted barely cover the most
pressing needs and are discouraging
the threatened movement to withhold
them.
One important fact which quite gen
erally seems to be overlooked is that
the expenses of tin* special election
will cost the state a sum nearly as
great as the amount of the appropria
tion it is desired to vote upon. Ibis
is a foolish waste or the state’s
money, to which sensible taxpayers
can be expected to register emphatic
disapproval.
Forty-six hiph schools arc entered
in the University of California annual
inter-scholastic track and field meet,
which is scheduled for April R. Eu
pene and Astoria are the only schools
who have entered teams from Ore
pon.

EATON SAYS STUDENTS
LACK INTEREST IN DEBATE
Editor Oregon Emerald:—I want to
thank you for your editorial on March
27, on “Is Debate a Student Activity.”
I believe that the editorial helped the
attendance at the Washington-Ore
gon debate in which our men gained
such a splendid victory. This to
gether with the Oregon victory on the
same night at Stanford, gave the Uni
versity the distinction of champions
of the Pacific Coast States, a result in
which many of us are finding much
satisfaction.
I hope I will no be misunderstood
as carping when I say that the inter
est in debate at the University of Ore
gon is not what it should be, either
on the part of the students or the fac
ulty. There were 87 people at the
Washington-Oregon debate. There
were besides President Campbell six
members of the faculty and about 45
students. Such low attendance at an
intercollegiate debate is a bad sign.
I hope you will try to find out the rea
son for this lack of interest in a really
intellectual activity, and the lack of
consideration and hospitality for the
representatives of our sister univer
sity. I was informed by a disappoint
ed student that several dances had
been scheduled for Friday night and
approved by the faculty committee on
social functions. I don’t want to be
lieve that, and will not enquire further
about it—but I wish you would. Such
action on the part of either the stu- !
dents or the faculty is indefensible,
and I hope will never have to be de
fended.
I am sending you this communica
tion because I am interested in the
University as many others are who do
not take the time to write, and be
cause 1 want to know that there are
members of the alumni who watch the j
conduct of the University students and
faculty with eagerness and welcome
all signs of interest in University
activities, especially those which are
of a scholastic and intellectual kind—
of which none rank higher than de
bate.
I am not yet ready to say that I ;
think students are too much interest- j
ed in athletics (as many are now say
ing), and I-don’t want to be driven to
feel that they are really not interested
in debate. I think that students
could be more interested in both ath
letics and debate and profit thereby.
But there are many, upon whom we
are dependent for support, who are
not pleased with the apparent lack of
interest of our students and faculty in
intellectual activities and let us not
voluntarily give them evidence to
make up their case.
1 hope you will succeed in securing
better attendance at the next debate.
Every student and faculty function
should give way to this annual de
bate and other contests of equal im
portance. We owe a more cordial
welcome to our visitors, we owe better
support to our representatives, and
taxpayers should be made to feel that
we regard debate as second to none of
our interests. Yours truly,
AI.LEN H. EATON.
ALLEN EATON COMPLIMENTS
FRESHMEN ON CLASS HOUR
Editor Oregon Emerald:-—Yester
day more by accident than intention 1
attended the assembly given by the
Freshman class. Will you please tell
that class for me that for quality the
program was the best ot its kind I
have known at the University.
The standard set by the Freshman
class will do for all the others, and if
the Cilee Club and other organiza
tions will always do as well in propor
tion to their opportunities, 1 think
satisfaction will be general.
The absence of those things so com
mon everywhere and sometimes pre
valent in student undertakings which
we call "raw" was the best sign in this
as it is in all productions. But in ad
dition to the absence of objectionable
qualities, several marks of positive art
and genius were there. The serious
and more dignified parts were well
done, and the fun (and after all that
is what strikes most of us) the fun
was real fun as clean as it was enjoy
able and it was mighty enjoyable.
Such expressions from a class com
mends all its members to those who
come in contact with it, and it is per
sonal interest in any concern for our
young people that forms the basis for
supporting institutions designed for
them. Yours very truly,
AI.l.EN II. EATON.
