The presence of these youth ful executives and journalists proves that they have won suc cess in their work as far as it has gone. Ahead is dollege or University with its ever-increasing problems. It is a real privilege that the student body of the University of Oregon has in welcoming these, our younger brothers and sisters in education. If we can give them any advance infor- j mation that will make their work easier when they do enter the field of higher education it is with real pleasure that we do so. It is to be hoped that every one of the several hundred high school visitors will take advantage of this opportunity to inves tigate the educational possibilities of the University in order that they may have as much information as possible to use in making their decision concerning their future education. College Night, last evening, gave our guests a view of the social and activity side of University life. We would not have them think that such play hours constitute the sum total of our University experience. The rise in scholastic standards which i' has been going on for several years has placed Oregon in a high position in the western University world. Of this fact we are proud, for we feel that the efforts required to earn a degree are spent in attaining something which has a real value, representing as it does the attainment of a worthwhile goal. 1 The High School Conference Ihe hundreds of high school students who are visitors on the Oregon campus this week-end are enjoying one of the most complete and comprehensive programs of the kind ever held anywhere. Through the cooperation of educators and journal ists throughout the state, student body workers, on this cam pus, and University faculty members, a series of worthwhile meetings has been scheduled that compels attention. file worth of the conference lias instilled an excellent spirit in those for whom it was prepared. A full aatendance has been accorded all meetings, and the general opinion among the visi tors is that good is being obtained. To those who made the event possible, especially the chair man and those of our faculty who helped in the work of creat ing the conference, the JOmerald extends congratulations. Since the idea was started these conferences have grown steadily in value. They are now an establishel part of the University year, those who did the work so capably this year may well regard their constructive work as a real monument to their willingness t0 serve the state and its youthful seekers after knowledge. Mrs. II. W. Davis and her able corps of fellow-workers did a great piece of service for the University last night when they took care of the hundreds who attended the high school visitors’ banquet in the Woman’s building. Dozens more than had been expected arrived at the last minute. The adept man agement of the woman whose ability in this line has made her famous took care of the situation splendidly. Everyone had something to cat, and that something was excellent in quality as well as quanity. WILLAMETTE GAME IS TONIGHT IN ARMORY (Continued from page one) making auv baskets from the field.

I do not. question , his idea of voluntary agreement be- , tween the two races to mingle to- , gether because it is a truism, and it , goes without saying that it is also impossible to attain that because of , the fact that the average white man ■ | does not care very much to ask the , i companionship of a negro even if ] the latter asks fervently for it. I I believe that every thoughtful , ! man or woman agrees with Dr. Har- ^ rison when ho had taken the stand L of racial amity. I cannot say too | strongly that all races should be ( friendly and act amicably toward each other, thus forgetting the na- j tore of their race as superior or in- ( ferior and whatnot. The Negro did , not want to become a negro (black) | if he could help it. Tt is natural ( that he wants to be of a lighter color j. if it is only within his power to j, change the pigment of his skin. It I seems as if the white color is pre- j. | ferable. We must not forget that race is a God-given gift and if we are white, brown, yellow, red, or black, it is our privilege and not our right to be that way. To as sert, therefore, that a certain race is superior than any other in the ethnic sense of the word, is igno rant in the knowledge of Creation, for each color is certainly as good as the other. A brown man is cer tainly inferior in a congestion of yellow men, but a yellow man is also inferior in a group of “brownies”. Hut this does not indicate the abso lute superiority of each. Nature lias intended mankind to bo brotherly and to live eooperat- i ingly, otherwise, she should have created a natural barrier between races that cannot be surmounted with all the power of human ingenuity. ! Kverv obstacle that blocked racial intercourse had been remedied so that free associations could be ef fected. If, as it now goes, the negro race is left in a certain way isolated from the white race and not freely mixed with them (not necessarily by in termarriage because 1 would prefer j that they should not) when can we attain peace and harmony here in this fair land of ours? Shall we not ; associate with them freely and min- ! ister to their needs and play the role of the ‘‘Big Brother” rather than leaving them alone to ply their i own destiny ns someone has suggest ed? If this could not be done, it is better for the Negroes to go back to Africa to their own native land. But where is their own land that they could properly call their own? It is being exploited by the indus trial world under foreign hands. The solution, then, to this Negro problem is either to have the two races associate freely with each other without the feeling of racial animosity, or if that is not worka ble, to undertake the gigantic job of shipping them back to Africa, as were the Acadians of old, provided that America will do her moral part to induce the English to give way to the heart of Africa where the Ne groes will again carve their destiny and establish their reputation once more in this humanitarian world of ours.

She discussed the general activity of the or ganization, the foreign scholarship fund, and the purpose of the wo men’s forum, which was formed last |term. “A college or high school is -judged by its social life, and the social policy is established by the .women,” she declared.

At the afternoon meeting held in Conden hall, Mrs. Eric W. Allen talked on “The Girls’ League in the Community,” Mrs. Mary Wat son Barnes on “Scholarship,” and Anna DeWitt, former president of the girls’ league of Franklin high school, Portland, who is now attend ing the University, on “The Girls’ League in the High School.” Mrs. Allen emphasizel the points of education in America which are being criticized, particularly of co education. Overdressing, lack of simplicity, too much social life and too little attention to things which students supposedly attend school for are objects of criticism, she de clared. Liberal Education Advocated Mrs. Barnes talked on the value of a liberal education and the ne cessity of gaining a liberal mind, which includes more than facts learned from books. Scholarship depends upon the ability to adjust oneself to what the world wants and needs, she declared. Miss DeWitt outlined efficient methods of organization of leagues and discussed the work of the league in the high schools. Women’s league officers elected ' are: President, Avis Nelson, of 1 Franklin high school, in Portland; vice-president, Nedra Bolton, The ' Dalles; secretary, Louise Nunn, ^ Salem high school, and representa- 1 tive at large, Kathleen Carlos, Hood 1 River high school. 1 Get the Classified Ad habit. MIGHTIER THAN THE At Regular Prices STARTING MONDAY Obak’s Kollege Krier OBAK Wallace, Publisher L.L.J. Office boy and editor Volume 3 SATURDAY, A. M. Number 9 LEAP YEAR TERRIBLE; MEN SEEK AID HERE Haunted Men Gather for Obak’s Protection Frightened, awed, worried and haggard men are beginning to seek protection at Obak's. The situation is more hectic than the authorities here had anticipated. Never before in the history of this institution has leap year loomed so foreboding. Great muscular men of supreme physical and mental development are flocking here. Many of them have sneaked in, crying and begging for protection. Some have come on the run, desperately demanding aid; many have come trembling in, like dried leaves scattered before a gale. A] lin all Obak’s has become al most a hiding place for over sought men who are being haunted by in sistent women. Whether or not these men will be able to find complete i protection here during so strenuous a year is a debatable question, but W. R. Wallace, in an encouraging talk to his men, told them of the past service that the TCo liege had render- . ed in like instances. "Seldom,” he declared, “has a man been lured from our careful protection, and I believe that I can safely say that there has | never been one instance when men j have been lost on the sea of matri- i mony due to our negligence; so cases have all been results of their own adventuring spirit.” In the meantime the sufferers are being cared for by the Kollege re lief staff. The masculine wants in tobacco, candies, foods and amuse ments are all supplied by Obak’s many departments. The entire or I ganizaticm is united in its efforts to protect the members and are pre pared to take care of all the new comers. WhoVWho I 1 " ■ 1 The above life-like reproduction of humanity is one of the outstanding local productions. In fact about all that he does is stand. When inter viewed by the Krier reporter he ex pressed himself as being highly in favor of social training in educat tional institutions. “If I ever get off of probation,” he insinuated, “I intend to again take up my major course in bridge and davenport ethics.” This photograph was taken just before a class in advanced billiards at Obak’s Practical Kollege. The life size smile is typical of the indi vidual and in fact all the enrollment in this popular Obak course. It will be noted that our friend has removed his scarlet tie to the elements; this is symbolic of the personal freedom and democratic atmosphere of Obak’s gang. Incidently it might be noted that T| all of Obak’s students have that happy well fed look, this of course is due to the efficiency of the snow white lunch counter staff. The fa mous slogan. “We are advertised by our loving friends” may well apply to this institution. ■ AGenuineTreat! ^ HE ideal place for a quick, savory breakfast before your “8 o’clock.” Drop in following the afternoon class for some real creamy home made candy or one of our fountain specials.
