Inherent in the youth of today is the same savage lust for destruction which existed in the days of the Carthaginiansj and Babylonians. The veneer of civilization is easily tarnish ed, especially when the veneer is merely a thin coat of school ed Culture, a vocabulary redundant with scientific terms, and a moralitV destitute of a code of Christian ethics. To be a person of real culture—the ideal college man or woman—one must understand those elements considered essential in genu ine civilization; consideration for the rights of others, fair play, frankness,, mercy and an unhvpocrital love of humanity. A college is not complete without a reli'gious faculty. Nei ther is a liberal education complete without religious instruc tion. Under the direction of a student committee, a. school of religion is being fostered by the University V. M. C. A- This committee, cognizant of the position of the state in regards to the teaching of religious ethical education. This course, which is to be given twice a week at the Y hut, will consist of a series of lectures and instructions and text work which refer to no particular religion, Moslem, Christian, Buddist or other, which does not imply the acceptance of the doctrines of any sect or church, ancient or modern. There j\re a syore of ethical problems of immediate inter est to college men and women: Does the end ever justify the means? Has an individual the right to starve himself? What is meant by the freedom of speech ? Has the individual the right to make intoxicating drinks? What is the definition of success? What is meant by the ethics of spiritualism and the ouija board? What is a lie? Are lies ever justifiable? Is profiteering ethically permissible? What are the rights of a citizen, versus the state? Is war ever justifiable? These questions and others covered by (Tiristian ethics will be dis cussed 'by Rev. Edwin V. O’Hara, LL.I)., author of the Oregon Minimum Wage Law, for five years chairman of the Indus trial Welfare Committee of the state, and a noted writer on social justice. During the winter term Father O’Hara’s course in Christian ethics will he supplemented until a course given by Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, identified with charitable and social work throughout the Cnited States, and a course by Rev. Brilce J. (I if fen dealing with the masterpieces of religious literature. No science is so full of human interest as ethics because it is essentially human. Religions ethics is a science of para mount interest to college students who desire to learn a rea sonable basis for human eondiu The so-called School of Religion of the University promises to furnish the education al essentials which maketh a full man. The studies will be conducted without offense to anv sect. The School of Religion will have no official connection with the University, and therefore credits will not he given for the work, but the ethical training obtained from such instruc tion will he valued more than college credits in later years In the individual. The Y. M. (‘. A. must be given credit for staging the first real peppy get-together meet of the year last night. The an nual freshman parade as staged by the sophomores could not he cal It'd a howling success. Such “pep talks’ as were given by “Shy”, “Bill”, and “Bart” at the mix wore exactly wlrat was needed to give “Oregon Spirit” a successful send-off for the year. The program of rooting practices and rallies outlined for the coming year by (Main* Keeney, varsity yell leader, are admir able, and every student, new and old, should bend every effort towards supporting such a program. Oregon’s successes in the past have largely been the result of enthusiastic student sup port, and with the growth of the student body this year such support should be increased rather than diminished. Let’s have a “Thundering Thousand” out at the first yell practice next ’Wednesday. The increased number of students in the Lniversity, and the corresponding increase in the number of campus organiza tions, 1ms made the old “everybody meet everybody” open house impossible, but that should not prevent anyone from meeting as many students as possible tonight. Don’t forget to say “hello” to every student you meet, on the campus or off. Sundays or week-days. Keep alive one of Oregon’s best traditions. Say “HELLO!” PHYSICAL [DIM TO DEVELOP UK Many Men to be Aided by Work of New Department j DOCTORS WILL LECTURE One Senior, Three Frosh, Maj or In Physical Education. Physical education will not he limited > this year to those who are physically ! fit but will he open to all, according to Dean John F. Bovard, hand of the new physical education department.

Dean liovard left yesterday evening for IVriland for the purpose of lining up the ph\sieians*he can obtain to give a series of lectures to the students in his department. These lectures, he said, will he as much a. part of the course as his own lectures. The present enrollment of majors in the physical education department con sists of one senior and three freshmen.
