Miss Burgess
Tells of Trip
Henriette Gouy’s Home
One Place Visited
By Mary Clerin
A collection of posters, gaily colored,
striking in effect, and depicting the
many beauties of French scenery re
calls to Miss Julia Burgess many re
miniscences of her trip through France
this summer. These posters Miss Bur
gess bought from various railroad sta
tions in Paris where they were used
to increase tourist travel.
A giant liner outlined against an
orange background and surrounded by
the busy life of a wharf at Marseille
is one poster that reminds Miss Bur
gess of the several days she spent in
that city as the guest of Miss Henriette
Gouy’s family. One of the greatest
pleasures of the trip, Miss Burgess said,
was the enjoyment of the charming hos
pitality of this home and the ac
quaintance with the delightful family
group, a distinguished looking army
officer and his lovely wife and daugh
ters.
French More Spontaneous
Remarking on French family life,
Miss Burgess said, “They are more
spontaneous in expressing their af
fection. The French take more pains
to show that they care for one another.
They are more considerate of one
another’s comfort and seem to tike
more joy in companionship.” She men
tioned the many times she saw the
French families gathered together m
the parks enjoying the beauty of out
doors.
French children, Miss BurgeiS says,
show better breeding than American
children. They are more respectful
and quiet in public places, they early
realize that they have a duty to so
ciety. Speaking of the French peo
ple, Miss BurgCBs said, “The tribute
that the whole people pay to beauty
is wonderful. In a crowded cafe these
vivacious folk will sit perfectly silont
listening to a concert of real music.
They worship beauty in art, beauty in
music, beauty in behavior.”
Old Customs Used
A poster showing peasants of Brit
tany in their quaint costumes, bring
back to Miss Burgess incidents of her
“grand circuit” trip around the coast
from St. Malo to Brest and on to
Quimper and Yannes. The peasants
of Brittany she found most interesting
since they cling to their old customs
and costumes. The women all wear
spotless white caps, even when work
ing in the fields. “Their caps, which
are various and often elaborate, are a
sort of badge of their community,”
Miss Burgess added, “and a woman
would not wish to be seen without
one.”
On this trip, Miss Burgess travelled
alone. As she had little command of
the French language, she said, the
French people, with whom she was
thrown, seemed to think it required
some courage to take such a journoy.
One time she specially mentioned. The
hotel in the town was crowded so that
she was billeted out with a priv are
iamily whose apartment was over a
wine shop. Their way of assuring her
was to shriek in her ears, “N’avez
pas peur.” But always Miss Burgoss
found lie lunch people courteous aid
kjnd.
Conversation Is Difficult
Commenting on the difficulty of
conversing in French, Miss Burgess
said, “Quite passable conversation maj’|
be carried on with a few words, many
gesture*, and much guessing.” The
French and Italians are good linguists,
I'OWf'ei.” Miss Burgess asked one
■old Italian shopkeeper how ho came
to speak English so well and ho re
plied, “By eating roast beef; by eat
ing plum pudding.”
In l’aris, Miss Burgess, in company
with Mrs. McClain of the library,
enjoyed the finished perfection of the
French opera and of the classical
French drama in the Comodie Fran
chise. “Many tourists do not go to
the opera or the theater in summer be
cause they think the quality of tho
production will be inferior to that in
winter,” Miss Burgess said, “but the
opera and the acting in the Comodie
Franeaise are so superior to what we
are accustomed to here that one should
not lose any opportunity to go.”

so many facts to be memorized and

Not only in her classes but through
out the entire University, Mrs. Barnes’1
kaleidoscopic personality has made it
j 3e'f felt» ant] those who have not met
her personally have at least heard of
her and expressed a desire to meet her.
Asked if the combination of house
1 keeping and school-teaching was a suc
j cessful one, she replied that since it
' was still in the experimental stage, it
was impossible to say. “However,”
I she added, “I 'find that I must plan
just so many things each week and
[ generally the week is pretty full be
I fore I stop planning.” There isn’t any

i finds her days well filled with her
■ classroom duties and her home to look

High Schools
Enter League
Forty-five high schools in the state
have already enrolled in the high school
debating league of Oregon, according
to Dr. Dan E. Clark of the extension
division, who is secretary of the league.
“There is every indication that there
will be as large an enrollment in the
league as last year, when 80 schools
were members,” said Dr. Clark.
The debates will begin after the win
ter holidays and will continue by the
process of elimination until Junior
Week-end, when the winning teams
from eastern Oregon and western Ore
gon will come to the University to
decide the state championship.
Pendleton has won the state title
for the past two years and holds the
cup offered by Professor E. E. DeCou
of the mathematics department.

Crazy patches, and pegged into
The earth with long, slender pegs.
Ambition, a dauntless river sprite,
Stoops under a tattered flap
To greet the morning, for
Morning is his master.
He goes to ait all day,
Catching streaks of the River's
I nwilling sunlight to sew
Upon my side.
The needles of acquisition
Are prickling, and I have
Longed to dare fill my lungs with
Wind, and mount the peak.
But tomorrow Ambition wili
Remember to drive deeper the pegs
Of public opinion.

Pigging—Away with It
By Harold N. Lee
Pigging—most disgusting!!
Perhaps it is the word pigging that
is disgusting to me; but no, I believe
that it is both the name and the action
which produce the unpleasant effect. At
any rate, there is something radically
wrong.
Some other time we may consider the
name. Consider the action now. Ore
I gon is a co-educational university. As
this is the case, it would be both foolish
and impossible for the men and women
| to have no social relations with each
other. A certain amount of time spent
i in social affairs is natural and to be
j desired. But this does not mean that
[ Oregon is a social institution; and it
does not mean that a large share of the
student’s time and energy should be
wasted in pigging.
This brings us back to the subject at
issue—-pigging". In the first place pig
ging does not designate a social relation.
Pigging is anti-social. If you do not
believe it, try some experiments on a
couple of ardent piggers sometime. Pig
ging breaks up the social atmosphere and
makes a free mingling of the students
on the campus impossible.
Pigging is not only socially destructive,
but takes up a good deal of the time and
energy of the students. Theoretically,
study may be their occupation, but pig
ging is most assuredly their pre-occupa
tion.
Pigging is a great waste of time. It
| is hard for a student here to put in a
solid 48 hour week of scholastic work,
even if he includes class time. (I have
kept a stop watch on myself to find out.)
This is only a regulation working week.
One who is not willing to spend this time
in studying (provided he is not working
his way through) might as well get out.
Despite this fact there are many men and
women who will spend from 10 to 20
or more hours a week “just pigging.”
There is a certain type of man who
cannot study Friday or Saturday nights.
He feels lost and restless unless he “has
a date.” He is not even satisfied to
spend the time with other men, or with
a group of both men and women. He
must be pigging. It is unfortunate that
such a man drifted into the University.
There is also a certain type of woman
who allftws these men to occupy a large
portion of her time and thoughts. She
counts her dates and tries to keep her
week-ends full. She goes out every time
she is asked whether she needs to spend
that time studying or not. It is also
unfortunate that these women are around.
By the time students enter the Uni
versity they are supposed to be ready
to shed some of the romantic illusions
of adolescence. They are also supposed
to be interested, at least tentatively, in
intellectual achievement. Both of these
suppositions are false when applied to
the chronic pigger.
Pigging—most disgusting; and fur
thermore, a most irritating nuisance.

Help Your Eyes
Persons whose sight is defective cannot enter into the
full enjoyment of life. Many things must pass unheeded
and others be but vaguely understood, if seen imper
fectly.
But the best of life is open,even to these, with the aid
of our correctly made glasses.
All can be made to see easily and clearly, if only the
defects are taken in hand early enough.
The right way is our way

EYESIGHT SPECIALIST
Old Dogmatism and
NEW FREEDOM
A young Jew had just finished speak
ing earnestly to a crowd of his country
men which had gradually grown larger
as with flashing eyes and ringiing voice
he had taken one fragment after the
other of the revered law, the sacred
Torah of the chosen race of Jehovah
and discredited it as it had been inter
preted by their priests and scribes by
enlarging the meaning of each section
to contain the profound ethics of love.
As he ceased they turned to one an
other and expressed astonishment, say
ing, no doubt, to one another, “Here is
one who teaches as having authority and
not as the scribes.” At least more than
a generation afterward biographers of
this, then unknown spiritual teacher,
used that phrase to describe the im
pression Jesus made on the crowds, be
lieving and unbelieving, who listened to
him.
Jesus thus appears in history as a
revolutionary questioner of authority, of
the infallibility of the Jewish church
with its temple ritual and minutely
worked out discipline as embraced in its
theocratical system of laws.
Little did Jesus forsee that a few cen
turies later that about his deified figure
as I a symbol a much greater church
would again, and in his name, repeat the
same old note of infallible authority.
Nor is it conceivable that he imagined
centuries afterward noble fighters like
himself would revolt again, against the
authority of that church which claimed
infallibility in his name, leading a move
ment which is called the Protestant Re
formation.
Luther and Calvin and Servetus and
Wesley and a host of others spoke as
Jesus did, as ones having authority. This
authority was each time simply this:
a human soul seeking God in life in the
freedom of the truth. That is the final
seat of authority in religion.
A doctrine of infallibility always
breeds dogmatists. A law considered
God-given and infallible by the priests
and scribes and pharisees raised up bi
gots to erueify Jesus. A church defend
ed by its popes and theologians as in
fallible and the vicar of God on earth
persecuted the reformers who sought to
cure its abuses. But the Reformation
itself stopped short in its escape from
one form of infallibility, that of the holy
church, to build new churches upon an
other doctrine of infallibility, that of the
inerrant and verbally inspired scrip
tures, as the repository of authority for
a set of doctrines based on the sacri
ficial death of Christ.
The dogqeatists of this biblical doe
■ trine of infallibility are with charae
! teristic zeal waging war in these recent
years against all liberals who doubt and
question their crude creeds. So we have
a revival of the same old struggle of the
ages in a new phase between the old
] dogmatism and the new freedom we
imagined we had gained.
The above is the introductory para
graphs of a sermon to be preached at
the Unitarian church Sunday morning at
10:45 o’clock by the pastor, Frank Fay
F.ddy. A frank discussion of the move
ment known as Fundamentalism will be
included in the treatment of this theme.
Miss Betty Nelson will be the soloist at
this service. We have a class in New
Testament for University young women,
led by Mrs. Balph Crow, and a class in
Philosophy, for young men of the Uni
versity, led by Mr. Eddy. Both meet
during the hour of the Church School,
11:45 till 12:45 oclock. We invite all
who like a church in which there is free
dom of thinking and tolerance for all to
worship with us.
