Howard Daily News Editor This Issue Leonard Lerwill Nijcht Editor This Issue George Belknap An Example to Follow At last it is for Oregon Agricultural college to set the University an example of good sportsmanship. The campus of the college was painted under cover of night last week. The act was naturally attri buted to Oregon students. After an exchange of explanations on the part of the presidents of the student bodies of the two institutions the wrath of the Aggies was assuaged to some extent and any con templated acts of violence on their part were averted. There has been revealed no evidence on this campus that the daubing at Corvallis was the work of University students. The col lege was not going beyond her rights in accusing our students, though she had no evidence to show. But when the maudlinism was dis avowed by Claude Robinson, our student body president, and when it was insisted that Oregon had not violated the pacts of 191'? and 1919, Oregon Agricultural college immediately took steps to curb apy hostility brewing on its campus against the University. A hand bill explaining Oregon’s position and bearing the terms of the re straining agreement was published. The student newspaper urged the students to show good sportsmanship and await conclusive evi dence in the matter. It is still the intention of the student body administration of Ore gon that those guilty shall be found and punished. It is believed that Oregon students are above such thoughtlessness and reckless mess. It is certain that the prank was not in any way countenanced by Oregon as an institution. And anyone who has sought to drag her good name in the mud by acting incognito and under cover, will certainly be taken to task. Oregon is grateful to 0. A. C. for the good-will she has shown in this matter. Should a like event occur here, it will be received in a similar light. Until there is definite evidence of the agent in such circumstances, there will be no feeling against the college, our neighbor and our rival. The Thinker Time was, the,other day, when we had fifteen minutes to spare. So we sat down to our desk and picked up Heywood Broun’s "The Fifty-first Dragon.” If you have never read this delightfully refreshing little tale dot so at your earliest convenience. But the tale of how Gawaine le Coeur-Hardy slew fifty dragons with a password brought other meaning to us than the mere narrative. For when the young slayer of dragons learned from the head master of the knight school that bis magic password was but so much bunk, he straightway fell prey to the next and fifty-first dragon, and a small puny thing it was compared with many of the fifty he had killed. So it is here. So long as the freshman, the sophomore, yes, even the junior and the senior feel that they have the wonder-working word of the text-book and the instructor to protect them, all is well. But let them realize that these are not infallible and they fall be fore the first little thought that hits them unprotected. For true maturity implies thinking for-one’s self, and it is hard to put away childish things. C. N. H. Here’s to This Good Idea! Authorities are talking about lengthening the college course from four to about six years. It is all right with us. We may have to stop a while to finance it, but such a good investment is worth sacrifice. There is so much fun in the senior year and s0 much to "cash in on” at the stores of learning and training that two additional years, making three with the present regime, are more than needed. Any way, the first two years of college life are little more than post high school or junior college work. Just attend any of the classes and C. N. H. see.

Ever since George Moore punctured the "grandeur” of of Victor Hugo’s tin and tinsel Orient the technique of producing a Hindu drama has suffered from marvelous growth. Today, to make a first rate drama of the mystical East, a playwright must include within his bag of triclts: 1. One gong with one-half dozen cym bals. 2. A few stray gods or goddesses— Krishna will do. 3. One sophisticated rajah with a; passion for removing bullets from re volvers, et cetera. 4. One (at least) heroine in some j body ’a “clutches.” In fact this phantasmagoria, this lit ' erarv India, this land of galvanized ! swords and pot snakes, has become so gullible that when Walker Whiteside | plays “The Hindu” he finds it necessary ! to preface the program with a warning j to the audience not to take the part too I seriously! Can it be wondered that a Hindu student at Oregon is just a little provoked at the disparaging distance between the India he knows and the counterpart it finds in the American conception of the East! You must understand, Mr. Oak, that this is all "art for art’s sake.” With this blanket protection an artist can make an elephant into a Benda mask, Schronenberg can organize discords to make music, Matisse can shelter his crudities of art—and William Archer can make an airplane into a most per-: feet “deus ex machina.” So don’t wor- j rv, Mr. Oak, it is all a matter of “ef-j feet.” Bring on the gongs, and let's! have more of this India stuff!

Patti departure. - * * * Talking about new magazines, wher J. Nolan Vincent and Jack, Brjady ktart their new one, which is to be called Parnassus, tlye University o! Oregon will be represented in the edi tion with a prose poem by Harolc N. Lee, a fellow in philosophy and one of the feature writers for the Sunday Emerald. The first issue will be pub lished in New York the early part ol January. “Parnassus, a magazine oi poetry, will not be just another poetry magazine,” its editors announce. • « • A canvass of the “general” opin ion of the campus on the point oi Thacher's Atlantic story indicates that the psychology of the story is “cleanly knit.” Only a few of the Thomases have doubted whether or not it was necessary to employ the staccato style to accentuate the effective atmosphere. Another edition' of James Branch Cabell’s “Jurgen” was released dur ing the past week. The only advantage this one has over previous editions is 16 illustrations. • • • Charles Alexander with his ‘ ‘ The Pang in the Forest” seems to be enter ing the red-blooded field a la Edison Marshall. We always wish an Oregon ian luck. • • • There was something vaguely naugh ty about the “Bad Man,” the movie that was at the Castle theater last week, and Robert E. Sherwood inti mates that the national board of cen sors are rather uneasy about the thing. The naughtiness is spread so broadly (in fact so broad that it is flat) that the censors are unable to eliminate one part without eliminating it all. Sherwood, who is considered one of the foremost critics of the motion pic ture in the United States, will have his book, “The Best Movies of 1922-23’* out the latter part of this month. There has been a re-issue of de Cas seras’ “The Shadow Eater.’’ Of the limited first edition of the little book last spring but one copy reached the campus. (We remember the fly-leaf was annotated, ‘Mr. and Mrs. Nor man Byrne.’) The re-issue is a result of a growing demand for de Cas seras * poems. • • • Stuart P. Sherman takes a mean crack at D. H. Lawrence this week. What Neitzche said of Wagner that he was “not a man but a disease,” is being fitted to Lawrence. Another critic calls “The Kangaroo” the “pri vate spiritual cathartic” of the novel ist . We told you so. M. E. M. ’s nickle collection at the library has already dropped its sum mer tetanus. We are told that Floyd Bell’s “Janet March” has arrived!

Dell is no table in the campus “literary circles" as being one of the first editors in the United States to recognize the genius of Professor Howe. • • • Atop of that, Sheila Kaye Smith’s “The End of the House of Alard” has been turned loose. Sheila is a best seller now. And even Phelps remarks, in somewhat lame enthusiasm, that her “novel reeks with cerebration.” Those in Living Writers who fell in love with “Green Apple Harvest” know what to expect in Miss Smith’s new novel. The woman is among the few novelists who still write novels. The illustrated edition of James Branch Cabell’s “The High Place” is supposed to be one of the prettiest of the fall books—typographically. It is selling for three times the price of an ordinary novel. The biography of P. T. Barnum is not causing unusual interest. Barnum was the guy who always thought of it first. His notable influence on the American vaudeville was to substitute slush for smut—in some places. Berlin is leading the world in the production of invertebrate drama this season—Werfel and Unruh are heading the lists, while the vertebrate form is finding its strength in New York. • • • James Stephen’s “Deidre,” which seems to be meeting with more favor in England than in America, is repre sented on the nickle shelf. (Also, Havelock’s, “The Dance of Life,” is here.) # « * Joseph Collins in “The Doctor Looks at Literature,” which is now available in the University library, represents the professional man’s reaction to literature. Collins has read some of his authors “with a vengeance”—and he is led to consider the author of “Ulysses.” One of the most interest ing things about the book is its point of view.

N 4-6-7 Lomax Gives Radio Course Professor Alfred Lomax, of the school of business administration, is offering a course by radio on the “Re sources of Oregon.” The course was begun October 5 and will continue un til December 21. , The lectures are given from the Ore gonian radio K. G. W. and are the first consecutive series of University lectures to be broadcasted from this station. The course is not for credit, but regular auditors will be recog nized by issuance of a certificate of enrollment. This entitles the holder to full answers by correspondence to any questions he may address to the Uni versity or Oregonian concerning the re sources of Oregon. This same course is also being given as regular class work at the Portland Center.
