Knowledge and Brotherhood
The Emerald notes with interest that the Oregon campus
is going to have the interesting spectacle of its first interna
tional debate on an international subject. Tonight local for
ensic stars will clash with a team from British Columbia on the
question of the recognition of Soviet Russia. It is particularly
appropriate that representatives of two nations whose destinies
touch in so many ways the fate of Russia should discuss such
a subject.
Oregon debaters have won the championship of the state.
This entitles them even more than usual to the unqualified sup
port of the entire student body. The value of intellectual ac
tivity as shown in forensic contests makes attendance at de
bates valuable.
But aside from the loyalty to the team or the mere pleasure
gained from the mental gyftmastics of the disputants, Oregon
should support tonight’s contest in the spirit of gaining more
information concerning a great world problem.
The Russian question involves tlie entire world. In our
campus routine we are likely to forget what is happening in the
world outside. Delegates to the recent Indianapolis convention
brought back many thoughts. The Emerald is giving them an
opportunity to present them in order that the value of their
trip may be made fuller. This reading of the printed discus
sion should be valuable. To add to the information on world
problems presented in this way, those interested should hear
the oral presentation of the Russian situation.
University and college people are accused continually of
being provincial, of being interested only in those things which
directly concern, them. VVluit is happening in the shaping of the
destinies of nations is of more vital concern to the youth of o\ir
land than most of them realize. Should a great war be de
clared as the result of the complexities arising from these prob
lems the lives of a great many of our “unconcerned collegians”
would be thrown into the maelstrom.
The whole world is hound together in the great scheme of
things. What we do today may affect the lives of countless
millions in years to come. What is done in Russia or Germany
or any other place on the globe may mean peace or war, life or
death, for the man in this morning's eight o'clock.
Hiding our heads in the sands of petty campus problems
while tlie world rolls on to its upbuilding or its destruction is
deserving of all the blame the world can heap upon campus
disinterest.
As a part of the world, and as the generation coming into
■its full strength before many years, let us be wide-awake to
the woes and the joys of humanity. The feeling of brother
hood which is the only thing able to save us from another col
ossal international catastrophe can only be engendered by a
sane understanding of the other man’s affairs.
Mr. Vining Reminds Us
If there is anyone who has coyly placed a tack on our chair
and made us sit on it, it is Irving E. Vining, president of the
Oregon State Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Vining addressed
the student body yesterday and brought before it some im
portant facts concerning the status of the college man in busi
ness. It was rather a difficult pill to swallow, but for many
it may prove a long needed cure.
As president of a great organization, Mr. Vining was in a
position whereby he can tell college people how the business
world regards them. lie reminded the students that they must
anticipate a probationary period in business corresponding tc
that of the freshman in college.
The University, as the speaker pointed out, seeks new truths
and facts, and the man, a product of such an institution, is tin
thinker placing great faith in the instruction he has received.
But the great active world of business, like a powerful monster
lurking in the shapeless morass beyond, waits to devour the
product turned out. The graduate, insignificant as he steps on
the threshold of life, is whisked aw'ay as a straw in a cyclone,
to be whirled, shaken, and much abused before he is once again
set down and given a place in man’s organized system.
In other words, for many of us in college the campus con
stitutes our world, students and faculty are our associates, and
student body and living organization problems are all that con
cern us, aside from our usual curriculum activities. Provincial
ism is our crime; until it is atoned, humble apprenticeship must
be our penalty.
We nominate for the next paddling party on the library
steps the “little boy” who always leads the freshmen trooping
out of the balcony of assembly in exceedingly rude premature
exit. The singing of “Mighty Oregon” is a traditional part of
the program and should not be spoiled by the lack of respect
on the part of “the newest class.”

Communications
] Letters to the EMERALD from stu- j
| dents and faculty members are
I welcomed, but must be sijoied and
j worded concisely. If it is desired, the
| writer’s name will be l<*ept out of
print. It must be understood that the
editor reserves the right to reject
i communications.

NATIONAL COMMITTEE
To the Editor:
Ono cannot help but wonder if
the Republican national committee
fools tliat. collego students have
made such a dismal failure in
creating organizations that they
need a good example along that
line. Whatever its feelings may
be it is bringing another organiza
tion to a campus that already has
more clubs and societies than it
can successfully support.
It is one thing to create an in
terest in political questions on the
campus and another thing to bring
in an organization which will tend
to cause conflict and political
strife within the University. There
is a deplorable lack of interest in
national questions among college
students; but this can not be
remedied by the organization of
clubs affiliated with national part- ,
ies.
Such groups provide merely an- i
other outside influence to take the
students mind away from educa
tional work. The consideration of
political questions which takes
place within the University and
University organizations should bo
of a non-partisan stype. It is a
dangerous practice to bring among
the student groups an organization
for the avowed purpose of spread
ing political propaganda.
There is amplo opportunity for
all students to affiliate themselves
with political organizations outside
of the University. To carry on
political societies under the state
and national organizations will
cause a lot of unnecessary work
on the part of students which will
prove of no practical benefit to
them.
If it is the desiro of the political
parties to send nationally known
speakors to the campus there are
organizations already formed which
could take care of the necessary
details.

Tn the Editor:
A few days ago the Emerald made
j an attempt to rouse a little interest
in the Uok peace plan. At the pro-!
sent time, this plan is receiving more!
attention by the press in the United
I States than any other event.
Most of the students in the Uni
versity are voters, and this question |
will undoubtedly be a main issue in
the next election.
M hen students take so little in- ]
forest. in the government of the Uni
t'd ■'Mates, and in world events, it
is reasonable to assume that those
"’ho are paying the expenses of the
state university will feel that the
cost is justified?
Every student on the campus j
should register a vote for or against
tho Bok peace plan.

FIRE ESCAPES ON LIBRARY
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL EXIT
New fire escapes are being con
structed on the west and south sides
of the library from the top floor
down. Owing to the fact that there
are always so many students study
ing in the reserve rooms a pla*
seemed necessary to provide for an
additional exit from the building
besides the one stairway.
