Christianity
By Kanshi Bam
This is an article by a
man who’s ancestral connections
dig way back into the early
beginnings of the world.
In his race is rooted the
passion for peace and
for brotherhood. Even
their revolutions must
partake of a kind of
religious fervor unknown
to Occidentals.
I am very glad to read in your issue
of January 11, 1923, that the Council
of Beligion that has recently organized
has announced its intention of starting
classes in Beligion. If such a course
proves successful and if Christian peo
ple are Christianized in the real sense
of the word then the international con
flicts would have been avoided and the
world had been a beter place to live in.
But I am sorry to find that it had not
been done in the past; and I hope that
the college students many of whom
would be the leaders of tomorrow,
would avail themselves of such a rare
opportunity for spiritual training and
act in a Christian-like manner when
any international misunderstanding oc
curs.
I feel that the business of the Coun
cil of Religion is spiritual, and they are
moved in undertaking this work by the
conviction that in these post-war days
we are all alike faced with problems,
both social and personal, and which can
only be solved by the message and spir
it of Jesus Christ. We have often re
gretted the fact that the modern civil
ization has brought to us so little of
Jesus Christ and so much of the world.
If only the imperialistic nations of to
day could be led back to sanity, if they
could realize, however imperfectly it
may be, the character, the will and the
love of God as revealed in Jesus Christ,
their yoke would have been infinitely
lighter and the world had been much
happier.
The gist of Christianity is fully re
vealed in the Sermon on the Mount.
Thp Sermon on the Mount is as much
Christian as it is Hindu or Buddhist or
Moslem. It presents the elements of
universal religinn and ethics in a form
which carries viction by its sim
plicity and commands the whole-heart
ed allegiance of the men of God in ev
ery country. But the Sermon on the
Mount stands discredited not only by
one country but practically by the
whole of Christendom. It is voted as
absolutely impracticle. The business of
life cannot be conducted on the lines
of Jesus Christ. Abnegation is the cen
tral idea of the religion of Christ. Ap
propriation is the central idea of mod
ern Christendom and as long as this
, greed for the good things of the earth
has not been cured man will never find
God.
In organizing the Council of Religion
for the spiritual training of the stu
dents of the University of Oregon the
campus Y. M. C. A. is taking a signi
ficant step.

—THE FLIRT
Society
By Catherine Spall
A number of smaller affairs have
occupied the attention of society this
week-end. This may be accounted for
by the two Varsity, basketball games
held this week-end, owing to which
several organizations have postponed
dances. Then too, a lull in events is
generally followed by a large number,
which seems to have been the ease
this week-end, and appears to be the
order of the next week-end also, purg
ing from th list of social engagements
planned with formals, dances by each
of the four classes, and dinner dances.
Bachelordon fraternity entertained
with their formal, however, on Satur
day at their residence, which marks
the opening of the formal season.
Days of decadence such as one as
sociates with the names of Nero, was
the spirit of the Bachelordon formal
last night. The guests were invited to
the vineyard on the lovely Roman Villa
of Flavia, below the blue Sabinian
hills. It was during a magenta twi
light and the lanterns were lit, casting
purple light upon the marble gods on
ivy-clad pedestals. At one end of the
garden was a fountain with the figure
of the god Bacchus.
The orchestra was given to disson
ance and strange harmony with a pro
fusion of mute brasses predominating.
The punch was an unusual iced con
coction of tangy grape juice, pome
granates, and rare spices.
Patrons and patronesses for the af
fair included President and Mrs. Camp
bell, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Church,
Mrs. W. F. Jewett, Dr. and Mrs. W.
H. Dale, Professor and Mrs. F. S. Dunn,
Dean and Mrs. Colin V. Dyment, and
Dr. J. M. Miller.
Delta Gamma held initiation for ten
pldeges Saturday afternoon. In the
evening a large banquet was given at
the Osborn hotel in honor of the init
iates.
Kappa Alpha Theta entertained with
a dinner in honor of the brothers of
the sorority members Thursday even
ing. Eleven men enjoyed the affair.
An interesting visitor on the cam
pus during the week was Frank Branch
Riley of Portland, noted lecturer on
the grandure of the Pacific Northwest,
who spoke to the student body at the
assembly held Thursday. While here
he was entertained at a luncheon given
by Alpha Phi sorority. Mrs. Riley is
an Alpha Phi from Leland Stanford
university.
At the Theta Sigma Phi luncheon
given at the Anchorage Thursday a
number of alumni of that organization
were guests.
Dean Elizabeth Eox was the delight-,
ful hostess at an informal “at home”
Wednesday afternoon at Bartle Court
to a number of women sudents. Tea
hours were from 4 until 6.
The pledges of Alpha Chi Omega are
entertaining the upperclassmen this
morning with a breakfast. A color
motif of yellow will be used, with daf
fodils and cut spring flowers carrying
out the scheme.
Mrs. Charles W. Williams of Port
land, a recent visitor on the campus,
speaking in connection with the Y.
W. C. A., was the honor guest at a
luncheon given for her at the Anchor
age Thursday by the Y. W. C. A. cab
inet members. Thursday evening
Bruce Giffen invited forty girls to her
home to meet Mrs. Williams.
The engagement of Aulis Anderson,
’22, Alpha Phi, to Owen Calloway, ’22,
Beta Theta Pi, was the interesting
news made known recently on the cam
pus. At the Alpha Phi house a color
scheme of red was borne out in the
red candles and red carnations which
decorated the table. Following the
second course tiny envelopes decorated
cleverly with red sealing wax, con
taining cards bearing the news, were
jffven to each, and a huge box of bon
bons passed. Mr. Callaway distributed
the usual box of cigars to his frater
nity brothers.
Both are well known on the campus
having taken part in a number of stu
dent activities. Mr. Callaway, who is

The first of a series of informal fac
ulty “at homes” was given Thursday
afternoon in the Alumni Hall of the
Woman’s building, with faculty wo
men whose last names began with A
or B acting as hostesses. A large num
ber of the wives of faculty members
and other women connected with the
University, whether members of the
faculty or not, called during the tea
hours which were from three until six.
Mrs. Bovard was in charge of the
tea. Pouring during the afternoon
were Mrs. S. N. Boyer, and Mrs. W.
P. Boynton for the first half, with Mrs.
Lucy Abrams, and Mrs. F. W. Benson
pouring the latter part of the after
noon. It is believed that these very
informal “at homes” planned for each
month, will be very interesting events
among faculty women.

Poetry
JOHN SILVER
Walter Evans Kidd
The sun burns low behind a ship at sea
Come in from secret coasts and wander
ing trips,
And in the slim prow lifted gracefully,
John Silver sits with sea-tales on his
lips:
Of dawns that make the deck spars
blaze,
Of singing twilights on a far lagoon,
Of ghostly sails that crowd the tropic
bays,
Of Blackbeard, Flint, and islands near
the moon.
But these be secrets that he never tells:
In which disastrous strait the “Wal
rus” rests;
Where gleams the port with golden
spires and bells;
In which sea-cave he hid his treasure
chests.
He never talks of blood-stains on a
keg
And clang of swords the night he lost
his leg.

CRIMNOLOGY COURSES
IN COLLEGE FAVORED
Speaker Tells Sheriffs’ Convention
Help of Press, Public and
Universities Necessary
Portland, Ore., Jan. 20.—Establish
ment of courses in criminology in uni
versities to train policemen was recom
mended by L. S. May, of Seattle, presi
dent of the Northwest Association of
Sheriffs and Police, in addressing the
annual convention of the organization
which opened here today. According
to May there is at present an organized
propaganda of law defiance such as
has never existed in the country,
and cooperation of the press, the
public and universities is needed
to combat it.
“It is said that it takes four years
to make a policeman,” he said, “and
if we are to fight effectively the or
ganized activities of the criminal ele
ment, we must have men trained for
the work.
“I recommended and hope this con
vention will recommend fundamental
school training for men who are to be
law enforcement officers.”
