CLOSER SYMPATHY

Human Values Held Factors
as Well as Economics
and Politics
MANKIND NOT ALL ALIKE
Social Control Very Important;
Historian Wants U. S. to
Join Genoa Group
A brilliant and vivid charge to the
present generation for open-mindednes9,
world-neighborliness, for “vision and
revision in the light of reality ” was de
livered to the University student body
at the regular 11 o ’clock assembly
Thursday morning in Villard hall, by
Ur. Richard F. Scholz, president of Reed
college, in Portland. A forceful speaker,
Dr. Scholz swept aside at once all dis
tinctions of age and position and spoke
to the students with all the force of
the wayside liaTanguer of our modern
cities, backed by the mind of a great
student, cramming into a scant hour
more than could be said by a man of
less power in three hours.
Dr. Scholz used as a launching point
for his topic, an announcement made
just prior to his speech regarding the
University celebration of Mothers daj.
•“We have been writing the male and
Adam side of history for so long,” he
said, “that we have forgotten the im
portance of the mother.” Dr. Scholz
used as an illustration of his statement
an incident, known to him personally,
in which the influence of the Polish
wife over her German husband had
overcome the well-laid plans of Bis
marck and the German government to
stamp out the last spark of Polish na
tional life by marrying the young
_ £ onVi-iopt to German
husbands. The children of this couple
speak Polish and belong to the Catholic
church. The recitation drew a laugh
from the students, as another illustra
tion of the age-old theme of humor, but
the speaker quickly settled down to
the consideration of his subject.
Peace Must Be for World
“The last war was a world war, and
-we will never have peace until it is a
world peace,” the speaker declared.
We are all paying for the war.
have all read your morning papers. You
have heard the Macedonian cry of
Lloyd George from the Genoa confer
ence, ‘I wish America were here. So
do I. Nineteen hundred years ago a
man in Palestine heard that call and
answered it, and went west, andthere
sult was a conquest whose effects have
lasted for nineteen hundred years
What a conquest was that compare
with Alexander’s conquest of Asia, the
results of which did not last 150 years.
Dr. Scholz pointed out what a con
quest of the world lay at the feet of
America when she participated in world
affairs. From building temples of
peace on the mountain tops of idealism,
we have descended to the plain of the
commonplace, he said, for as Anato o
France said, man has a “homesickness
for the mud.”
All Values to Be Considered
“Vision and then revision vision
and then revising in the light of real
ity,” repeated the speaker. “We must
learn that economics, politics and com
merce are not the only factors to con
sider; we must learn that human values
are factors too. John Morley spoke
truly when he said that every European
is born 2000 years old and every Asiatic
3000 years old, and we in the United
States must learn the art of neighborli
Dr. Scholz decried the much-bruited
statement that mankind is all alike.
We must get rid of this false cosmo
politanism. We all use the same terms
of democracy and liberty, but we all
mean different things for those terms.
“We are all using the same currency
but with a very different rate of ex
change. What we need today is not
economic but intellectual reorganiza
tion. We have removed the physical
frontiers but not the intellectual bar
riers of the world.”
Modern Germany Cited
The three men who made modern
Germany what she is, and who com
pletely changed her entire racial psy
chology, are Darwin, Marx and Bis- j
marck, averred Dr. Scholz; Darwin with
his theory of the survival of the fit- j
test, on which principal Germany
fought the last war; Marx’s material
ism, and Bismarck’s poliey of “Blood
and Iron.”
“Is it not about time,” demanded the ^
speaker, “to clear the brass buttons and /
politics out of history t Why not put j
down some of the contemporaries of

Hardy Human
Takes to Race
In Icy Plunge
The privileged fish who inhabit
i the millrace were disturbed in their
solitary reign last Saturday morning
for about two-billionths of a half
second when the whizzing form of a
man shot through their translucent
realm.
For some time they had been per
mitted to roam and romp in the race
“all by themselves” and it can be
imagined that they were greatly con
cerned with this foreign body which
so hastily entered their domain and
so much more hastily made Its exit.
The hardy human was a member of
the faculty of the military depart
ment, Lieutenant M. E. Knowles.
Lieutenant Knowles claims to be the
first member of the faculty to ven
ture into the race this year. He re
ports the water was of an unparal
leled iciness.
“I dived in and then got out so
quickly that I left a hole in the
water,” said Lieutenant Knowles.
But nevertheless, he has invited any
member of the faculty to join him
in a plunge next Saturday.

COn PROGRAM
AT ARMORY TOIIGHT
FULL OF FEATURES
Pick of Spring Tour Numbers
Among Selections for
Home Appearance
SHOW IS IN THREE PARTS
Specialties Include Overtures,
Oriental Interlude, and
Stringed Quartet
Taking the pick of the selections
used on the spring tour and addihg
others of equal merit, all interspersed
by original and attractive features, the
University Symphony Orchestra, under
the direction of Rex Underwood, will
present a concert program of unusual
interest and high professional quality
at the Armory tonight, at 8:15.
Intensive work by the orchestra since
the spring tour has developed that or
ganization to a state of high perfec
tion. The program is divided into three
parts, part I being made up of or
chestra selections and a violin solo;
part II is composed of the feature num
bers; and part III concludes with an
overture and the college song.
Opens with “William Tell”
The well-known William Tell over
ture, by Rossini, opens the program.
This number offers variations and con
trasts in movement and theme, opening
with the cello as solo instrument, and
then working up to a climax with the
full orchestra, followed by a short pass
age carried by the flutes. This compo
sition is an attempt to portray a storm
scene at dawn and concludes with the
full orchestra again in an allegro move
ment. The overture is followed by
“Valse Triste” by Sibelius, a Finnish
composer. It contains a light and fan
tastic waltz movement interwoven with
a minor strain which characterizes this
selection. Pierne’s “Leaden Soldiers,”
the hit of the Barrere Ensemble on
its West Coast tour, is the third num
ber. It is a tuneful and clever little
march of the soldiers in toyland.
Violin Solo Delightful
Alberta Potter’s violin solo, “Gypsy
Serenade” by Valdez, has delighted
many audiences. Miss Potter plays the
Serenade with a dash and brilliance
which leaves nothing to be desired.
“March of the Boyards” by Halvorsen
won the greatest applause at the con
cert by the Portland Symphony Orches
tra at the Woman’s building last
spring. Life and vivacity make this
march distinctly different from any
other, and its harmonies are unusually
striking and effective. Marchers are
heard in the distance, they draw near,
and then pass on with the music dying
away in the distance. This last num
ber of Part I is the Rachmaninoff Pre
lude, which is difficult to describe, but
once heard, is never forgotten. Open
ing with a soft-toned passage, the
movement works rapidly up to a cli
max, which the crashing chords of the
brass and wind sections accentuate. The
full volume of sound dies away as rap
idly as it developed and ends in a i
whisper of harmony.
Part II Has Three Features
Part II of the program includes
three specialties. The first is the |
string quartet which offers two bright j
and tripping numbers. An Oriental i
Interlude is the outstanding feature of I
the evening and offers a skillful and
harmonious combination of music and
costumes with appropriate stage set
tings. Costumes for this act have ar
rived from Portland through Frank Jue,
a former member of the orchestra, and
they are said to be wonderfully gor
geous and attractive. They are family
heirlooms and are highly prized, and
the orchestra is fortunate in securing
real costumes rather than the usual
Btage apparel. In the selections by the
University Troubadours the audience
will find the latest songs presented in
delightful fashion. This is a recent or
ganization, which is rapidly becoming
popular on the campus.
The program concludes with Part TTI,

HOUSTONS VISIT CAMPUS,
Johnny and Ivan Stop at Fiji House on
Way to Klamath Falls
John Houston, *21, and Ivan Hous
ton, ex- '24, stopped over at the Fiji
house last night on their way to their
home in Klamath Falls, after a trip to
Portland, where Johnny has been at
tending a convention of life insurance
agents. John Houston was vice-presi
dent of the student body last year.
Ivan Houston was in school last term
and will probably be back next year.
TWO ARE OUT
FOR PRESIDENT
Expense Is Declared Nominal;
Spread at Homecoming
Totaled $150
WILL BE LESS THIS YEAR
Tradition Committee Is Plan;
Propose Amendments to
A. S. U. 0. Constitution
The total cost of the campus luncheon
which fed nearly 3000 people, including
students and visitors, at Homecoming
here last fall, was $150 over and above
the food furnished by living organiza
tions, according to figures compiled by
Ella Rawlings, a member of the lunch
eon committee who was requested by
the Student Council to ascertain the
exact cost of putting on a campus
luncheon here this year. Miss Rawlings
declared that she did not believe the
cost of the luncheon at Junior Week
end would reach this figure, on account
of the smaller number who would have
to be provided for.
The Student Council undertook a lit
tle private investigation of the finan
cial outlay necessary for providing a
luncheon during the course of a special
meeting of that body, and it was the
consensus of opinion that a campus
luncheon with efficient committee man
agement could be provided at the cost
of the food which a house would ordi
narily furnish its members and guests
at any regular luncheon. A representa
tive from one organization declared
that tho cost of food furnished aver
aged $5.50 for each organization. It
■was further expressed that since last
spring students not living in organiza
tions had been more successfully
grouped and that they could be reached
more easily than before in the collec
tion of the individual tax which is
usually levied on students not living
within organizations.
Amendments Are Considered
The special meeting of the council
was called yesterday to consider several
proposed amendments to tho A. S. U.
O. constitution. The creation of a tra
ditions committee with equal represen
tation of students, faculty and alumni,
which would have charge of all tradi
tions on the campus and would decide
upon the questions of dropping tradi
tions and instigating new ones, was
proposed and met with the favor of tho
council. It is planned to make the com
mittee one of the regular activity com
mittees with power to cooperate with
the Order of tho O and other tradition
enforcement bodies on the campus.
A committee composed of Maurice
Eben, Mildred Ferguson and Floyd
Maxwell, was appointed to draw up the
resolution and present it to tho Coun
cil for their approval before it was
read to the A. S. U. O. meeting next
Thursday.
Closer Coordination Desired
The matter of an amendment placing
the vice-president of the A. 8. U. O.
as general chairman of all activities
committees in order to bring about a
closer coordination of these committees
with the Council, was discussed and a
committee composed of Norton Win
nard, Maurice Eben and Ella Rawlings,
was appointed to investigate the needed
amendment and present it to the next
meeting.
Further amendments were left to a
committee composed of Guy Koepp,
James Say and Clayton Ingle, who will
investigate the present election pro
visions, and the matter of the amend
ment proposed by the music activities
committee relative to a student tax for
music concerts was requested to be pre
sented at the next session which will
be Tuesday night.
PI PHI AND OREGON CLUB WIN
Pi Beta Phi and Oregon club were
the winners in the women’s doughnut
baseball games yesterday afternoon.
The Pi Phi team defeated the Zeta Rho
Epsilon team 11 to 1, while Oregon
club succeeded in scoring 41 runs
against 15 for the Chi Omegas. This
afternoon at 5 o’clock Hendricks hall
will meet Alpha Chi Omega.
Chuck Lamb and
John MacGregor
Are Candidates
FROSH MEET SALEM TODAY
BABE NINE EXPECTED TO PEAT
GOOD BRAND OF BALL
Team’s Personnel Not to Be Announced
Until Game Starts; Bill Reinhart
Is Coach of Visiting Squad
The frosh team which will mix with
the Salem high nine today, has not yet
been picked by Coach Shy Huntington,
and will not be definitely announced
until the game starts. The team has
been concentrating on batting and
fielding practice this week, in order to
give a better account of themselves
than in the series with Columbia uni
versity.
The Salem squad, according to the
dope, will give them some stiff compe
tition, since they won from McMinn
ville by the lop-sided score of 28 to 5
and were defeated by two runs in a
game with Columbia.
Added interest is given the game for
the reason that Bill Reinhart, an Ore
gon letter man in football, baseball anil
basketball, is coaching the prpp team.
In a letter to Graduate Manager Bene
fiel, Bill stated that Salem is good for
a high school team, and that they
ought to give the frosh a real workout.
The game today will be called at 4:00
sharp, and the one tomorrow at. 2:,10.
Branaman, the pitcher who was mainly
responsible for the victory in the first
game with Columbia, will probably start
in the box, with Cook or Orr behind
the bat. Burton seemingly has the edgo
on the other first sackers, besides be
ing one of the most consistent and
hardest hitters on the squa.d Sullivan

Vester covering the short patch. Third
base is rather in doubt, but Troutman
has been showing up best. The out
fielders who have been showing to ad
vantage are King and Brooks, regulars,
with Skinner, Haynes, Young or Parks
available for the other position.
The frosh have been undergoing a
grand shakeup this week and many of
the men mentioned may not be in the
opening lineup. The main idea at pres
ent is to get the team developed into a
first-class machine by May 19 and 20,
when they mix with the rooks here.
STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
OF OREGON WILL MEET
State Convention to Be Held in
Eugene This Week-end by
Christian Workers
The stato conference of Student Vol
unteers, which is meeting this week
end in Eugene, opened this afternoon
and will last over Sunday. About 25
delegates are expected, representing all
the colleges and universities in the
state.
The purpose of this conference is to
bring together Student Volunteers of
Oregon, and ns many other students ns
possible, to consider the needs of tho
non-Christian world and America’s
personal responsibility and relation to
tho foreign missionary program of the
church.
It is the object of this conference to
revisualize and intensify the purpose of
the Volunteers, to enlist other students
to engage their lives in foreign work,
to face tho opportunities and responsi
bility of furthering missionary activi
ties in the colleges, and to deepen and
broaden the spiritual lives of the dele
gates.
Among the speakers on the program
of the conference are Dr. Marvin A.
Rader, of the western office of the
Board of Foreign Missions, who will
speak Friday night at 8 o’clock, and
Rev. John K. Browne, who has spent
38 years as a missionary in Harpoot,
Turkey, and who is now with the
American Board of Commissioners for
foreign missions. He will speak Satur
day night. Day meetings will be held
in the Bungalow; night meetings in the
“Y” Hut.
PLEDGING ANNOUNCED
Delta Zeta announces the pledging of
Madame Rose McGrew of Bugene and
May Lindley of Medford.
NO ONE YET IN FIELD
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT
OR FOR SECRETART
George Adler Throws Hat into
Ring as Aspirant for Seat on
Student Council; Possibility
of Four-cornered Race for
A. S. U. 0. Head Considered
Chuck'1 Lamb and John MacGregor
entered the campaign for the office of
president of the A. 8. IT. O. simultane
ously last night and marked a fitting
close to a busy political day. The
two announcements have at least ended
the dearth of candidates, and some who
are on tho inside even predict that they
have started a deluge which may end in
a four-cornered race for the coveted posi
tion. Further announcements for posi
tions consisted in one lone declaration
for senior man on the Student Coun
cil. George Adler is tho aspirant.
Lamb and MacGregor have been con
sistently mentioned in campus political
circles recently but steadfastly denied
their intentions of tossing their chapeaus
in the ring until last night. Both are
well known on the campus and active
members of tho junior class. Lamb is
a major in the department of economica
Jwhile MacGregor is majoring in the
School of Business Administration. Adler,
who is the only candidate for senior man
on the Student Council is a major in the
department of zoology.
Developments Are Expected
No candidates have filed their inten
tions of running for vice president, yell
king or secretary as yet although some
developments are expected for some of
these more important positions before
the first of the week. The editorial
positions are the most sought after thus
far in the campaign, with Hoyt and
Youel out for The Emerald editor and
Velma Farnham and Dorris Sikes for
the editor of The Oregana.
The only Council positions sought at
present are senior woman on the Eexe
cutive Council to which Inez King as
pires and tho announcement of Adler
|for senior man on tho Student Council.
Lamb Varsity Debater
“Chuck” Lamb, who entered the raco
for the presidency last night, has been
active in student affairs during his three
years in the University. He is at present
general chairman of tho Junior Week
end committee and served as a member
of the Homecoming committee last fall.
Ho was a member of the Varsity debating
team this year which won a decisive vic
tory over the Oregon Agricultural col
lege team and the Stanford university
team, capturing the Pacific coast cham
pionship honors. Lamb is a member of
Sigma Chi.
John MacGregor, who is opposing
Lamb for the executive position, is cir
culation manager of this year’s Oregana
and was recently re-elected president of
the Craftsmen club. He is also an offi
cer in the Alpha Kappa Psi, national
honorary commerce fraternity. During
the war, MacGregor served with the navy
for two years. He is a member of Alpha
Tan Omega fraternity.
George Adler, junior, who aspires to
the Council, is at present a student in
structor in the zoology department.
DEAN STRAUB WILL SPEAK
