We are forgetting. It will • be good for us to forget many of the events of that fearful period, but there is one thing that we must not, must never, forget. It Is that feature or the war which should he the last to fade from our minds the men who gave their lives. We here cannot act eoncertedly toward a tribute to all the thousands Who fell fur us. That In a national duty. But wo of Oregon, students, faculty and alumni, must not forget those who called Oregon their alma mater and who gave their lives In the war for America and for Oregon. We must raise here upon the cam pus a memorial, a tribute, a monu ment to our dead—and they are our dead. Wo have not forgotten the 1916 eleven that humbled Pennsylvania, hut that football team, mighty as It was In its sphere, pales to insigni ficance beside the men who gave more than muscle, more than time. Its achievements fade into nothing-’ ness beside those Oregon men who played in the greatest game earth has known, played—and won—but! died. It’ we who have lived know gratl tuile at all, If our homes and our University have planted within us ono spark of the tlner and higher things of life, we know that to them we owe something which can never ho paid and that, us American men and women, we must at least ac knowledge our sense of gratitude and debt, must show that our memory has not lost those men who died, that we have not forgotten that they died for us. The only way wo can do this fit tingly is to erect upon our campus a uiu.moeial ta (.Uvitia Uruvu 1'uv , haps we did not know them, but \ they were men of Oregon, as wo. They answered us we would answer, and they died as we would die had' it not been for their sacrifice. A committee has been appointedi to investigate the matter, that we may assume our work Intelligently. That committee lias very real work, very live work. Our memorial eould not be raised in a month or a term. Years only will suftieo and it is only tilting that we should undertake the work without further' delay. They did not delay. Shull we he tardy in our tribute? A good start is half the race. The fall term quarter has just started. * * * A Bolshevik is a mind surrounded by whiskers. • * • In line with the new clubs which have sprung up on the campus, why not get a club for women. "Club,” you say? JOURNALISM DF TaiMf DANGEIOUS TOT, SAYS AKHUECir EMM Charles H. Whitaker Sees Peril Into Standards In Growth of Advertisers’ Power “Journalism is the most dangerous toy that men are playing with today,” declared Charles H. Whitaker, editor of the American Institute of Archi tects Journal of New York, in an intimate discussion of the problems and policy of his and other trade papers with members of the traade journalism and editng classes in Dean Allen’s room on Wednesday after noon. Mr. Whitaker made this re mark in discussing the general low ering of newspaper standards, which he attributed to the great growth of advertising in recent years. In the trade journal field, especial ly, he said, many papers have sprung up with no higher aim than to reap profits from their advertising. News papers, he declared, have no other function than to print the truth. Arid when they depart from that standard they do incalculable harm and ir reparable damage. The lowering in standards from the papers of even 40 years ago, he continued, is traceable to the profit taking system which at present has jeopardized our whole industrial sys tem, and has killed the great jour nalism of former years. Exaggerations are Eliminated Mr. Whitaker, in discussing his own paper, a trade publication for architects, witli a circulation of 2500, said that the established policy had been to edit all advertisements and eliminate mis-statements and exag gerations. This policy, he frankly said, has cost the Journal many thou sands of dollars in advertising, but has built up a reputation for fair dealing, and given a certain prestige and confidence among subscribers. The Journal grants no favors to ad vertisers, he said, prints no material furnished by advertisers and adheres strictly to its policy of editing its advertisements. The editorial views of the Journal might, be termed radical, Mr. Whit aker said, but its support is due to the fact that it pleases the sub scribers. He stated that in his edit orial policy he has not been content to meet only the narrow interests of the architects. The Journal has de voted itself to the larger work of community interest, to the problems of education, housing and town plan ning. Its purpose, he declared, has been to large and expand the archi tectural vision. Architects Need to Think The architect, he remarked, needs to be made to think. His vision should reach farther than mere col umns and walls. The Journal seeks to go deeper into the economic side of architecture. The aesthetic and the business side are too narrow to come within the field of the paper at all. Forty years of knocking about the world, he said, as a student of music in Europe, a patent medicine manu facturer in Maine, a collector of ly thographs in Europe, a business man in Liege, Belgium, and later in South America, with numerous side lines interspersed between, have given him a broad foundation, while the pos ition as editor of the Journal has given him his first adequate chance to freely express himself. The Jour nal, in consequence has become un der him, he admitted, a very per sonal paper. In seven years as its editor, he alone has directed its policy. KAYS TO MANAGE EMERALD * - Lee Hulbert Resigns as Business Manager of Paper Warren Kays, a sophomore in the University and a major in the school of journalism, was elected business manager of the Oregon Emerald at a special meeting of the student council Wednesday evening. Mr7 Kays is taking the place of Lee Hul bert, who resigned at the end of the first term. The position which Mr. Kays is taking is especially hard this term. The Emerald is not very strong fin ancially, this having been a very hard year, due to the increased cost of paper and printing. Leith Abbott, editor, said that he has every 'con fidence in Mr. Kays, even though he is taking a job which under ordin ary circudmstances is far from easy. The new manager lias appointed Albert Woertendyke, a sophomore from Portland, to succeed him as advertising manager. SIUDENT VOLUNTEERS WILL EIVE MESSAGE AT VESPERS, SUNDAY, — ’ : j Mixed Chorus Will Be Heard At Services In Vilfard For Delegates Part of the message received at the Student Volunteer convention at Des Moines will be given at a .special vesper service Sunday, January 18, by five of the delegates. John Hous ton, delegation leader, will have charge of the program. Lindsay Mc Arthur will speak on “The Spirit of the Convention”; Ethel Wakefield on “Missions”; Norton Winnard on “The Need for Medical Aid”; John Hous ton on “Who’s Who,” and Louise Davis on “The Oregon Student’s Part in the Game.” It was decided that a more com prehensive idea of the convention could be given by having Just a few of the delegates speak on the main topics rather than to chop the sub jects up and allow all the delegates to talk. The other delegates will be on the platform, however, and will also give their messages at the mass meeting of the churches and through the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A. and Women’s league. The musical program will be given by a mixed chorus from the men’s and women’s glee clubs. To date Mr. Houston has not made arrange ments to have anyone take charge of the invocation services.

C. major’s appointment/. Koepke, who held the rank of captain last term, was in command of Com pany B.
