We Want More
Yesterday morning the advanced class in World History spent
the entire liour in a discussion of the situation of Western Europe
at the present time. The discussion was led by Dean JSheldon, and
followed a short lecture by him in which lie presented his views of
past events which have led to the present condition of those countries.
An unusual interest was shown by the members of the class, and the
regret was expressed by several that such things were not done fre
quently on the campus. . . .
Dr. Wilson, in his assembly address, mentioned the fact that an
Eastern college student, had stated in an examination that “Lloyd
George was an Irish I’oet.” The college was not Oregon, and the
student was not an Oregon student, but it is not hard to believe that |
such an answer might well be expected from many in the student
body—all students do not take courses which create an interest in
world affairs.
it is not with pride that we admit that University students are
not “up” on the matters which fill the columns of our newspapers
morning after morning. “Lausanne” lias little or no significance
to them; the Near East situation means a plea for funds about
Christmas time, nothing more; Lloyd George might as well be an Irish
poet. ,
There should be some way which more students could be inter
ested in keeping up on the every day affairs which will play such an
important part in their life after college days are over. At present,
the University man seems to be so busy with his class work and his
social life that he utterly neglects the watching of events which are
“making history” every day. He finds little demand for an acquain
tance with those events, and consequently puts his time in on other
things, which, at the time, seem more important.
Students are in a great measure to blame. The library furnishes
access to a great deal of literature on the subject. Books, maga
zines, newspapers and periodicals are brimming over with interesting
stories and interpretations of the affairs of the world. All that is
necessary is the desire to read them.
There are several ways to create this desire. Clubs have been
organized, and discussion groups held. These, however, are accessible
to the few, rather than to the many. The occasional spending of a
class hour; or a few minutes of a class hour, means the stimulation
of interest in the majority of the students in national and inter
national affairs; links up the study of the past with the happenings
of the present; and is a real contribution to the capacity for citizen
ship of Oregon's students. There should be more of them.
Discrediting the Student Body
After all tho talk of higher scholastic standards and the new
spirit of seriousness, it is rather disconcerting to hear of occurrences
casting reflection upon 1'niversitv students. In former years town
authorities and undergraduates were constantly encountering each
other, and a college scrape ending with expulsion is written in the
biography of many a famous man. With the disappearance of the
rah rail boy type there is less for the college discipline committee to
do and the president’s carpet is no longer threadbare. Cases of mis
conduct at theatres in Eugene should be treated in exactly the same
manner whether the offenders are University students or not. The
entire student body must not be made to suffer for the delinquencies
of one or two misinformed and misbehaved individuals.
I'he Emerald is gratified at the response from the announcement
that a straw vote on the proposed change to the semester plan would
be held. Faculty members have expressed themselves that a show
of student opinon would be valuable and students have demonstrated
that they are vitally interested. Opinions are different as to the
stand the students will take on the proposition The result will be
announced in next Thursday’s Emerald.
There is no cause for surprise at the announcement that Shy
Huntington may not care to coach Oregon next year under a one
year contact. Before the council took action The Emerald urged
the expediency of a three-year tenure and indications are that the
stand of the council may cost Oregon her coach,

COMMUNICATION
Washington, D. C., Jan. 2, 1923.
To the Editor:
Permit me to express my apprecia
tion of the editorial in your issue of
Sunday, December 17, on the question
of the length of Shy Huntington’s con
tract with the University of Oregon. J.
have watched Huntington’s work with
interest for the past five seasons and
am thoroughly disgusted with the ath
letic authorities of the University who
have now come forward with an offer
for a one year contract. Both Hunt
ington and Spellman should be given
a three-year contract so that they may
substitute a definite programme for the
hand to mouth policy which they are
necessarily following. In view of all
the facts and circumstances, Hunting
ton and Spellman have produced splen
did results at Oregon and we ought to
stand by them.
Yours faithfully,
c. n. McArthur.
(House of Representatives.)

Home Economics Students Make Special
Bequest for Class
A sppcial class in food preparation
has been organized this term in the
household arts department at the re
quest of a number of women students.
The course is not new but is usually,
given during the fall term. “You can
see how zealous the girls are for the
work when it is known that they will
come for the work during the hours
from four till six three times a week,
and from four to five twice a week,”
said Miss Lillian Tingle, head of the
department. The work is a foundation
! course for all classes in the depart
ment.
There have been an unusually large
number of letters sent in from all over
the state this year, asking for advice
in household problems, Miss Tingle re
j ports.
Students enrolled in the department
] are now engaged in the study and prae
i tire of breadmaking and have been in
vited by the University bakery of Eu-1'
i gene, to inspect that institution, and '
; observe while it is in operation.

. DIRT FOR ART’S SAKE
There was a shampooing event of us
ual interest at the Piekford-Fairbanks
studios when Mary Pickford’s million-i
dollar curls were washed for the first j
time in six weeks. This celebrated cin
ema star had returned from a five-week
sojourn on “location” at Chatsworth
Lake, and as her whole time away from
her studift had been occupied in enact
ing the role of the lovable though not
immaculately “hair-dressed” Tbss in
her own production of “Tess of the1
Storm Country,” which closes its en- ,
gagement, tonight at the Castle.
TOM MIX AT REX
If you haven't seen the new Fox
picture starring Tom Mix, entitled “The '
Rough Diamond,” at the Rex theater
you have missed the making of a,new,
chapter in film history, at least as far
as Mix is concerned. In this new pro
duction, with its snappy title, unusually
romantic story, and Mix playing a dif
ferent sort of a part than he has ever
appeared in before, his many admirers
who have seen it have been pleasantly
surprised.

structive Christian Democracy.”

SOMETHING NEW
Old - Fashioned Cereals ....
The VITAMINES"of wheat, corn and grains are found
. in the germ of the seed. This germ comes off with the
t| bran in the milling process,and finds its way into the
middlings or shorts sold as stock foods. So, one hundred
years of improved milling has taught us to feed the vital
parts of the grain to stock ancl keep the poorest for our
selves. Hence our fine livestock. Here we offer whole
grain products containing all the vitamines, and milled
right here in Oregon.
