TO THEM WHO DIED
How quickly we have forgotten the
war! It seems now little more than
a horrible dream. 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.

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.

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.
