Phones Editor boo Manager Daily News Editor This Issue Velina Farnham Night Editor This Issue George Belknap 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.” o 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. | O 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. A POLITICIAN. 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. STUDENT Tone year ago todayT i — I ! Some High Points in Oregon | | Emerald, January 18, 1923 | o-- - Twelve faculty members have been admitted to foundation mem bership in Phi Beta Kappa, nation al honorary scholastic fraternity to be installed at the University. Late last night five living org anizations reported 100 per cent subscriptions in the Oregana drive. Claude Robinson will fill the vacancy on the junior council caused by the resignation of Har lan Gram. Dividends totaling $1,500 were paid to the students by the Co-op during the past year, according to M. P. McClain, manager. A gift of $500 has been made to the Condon loan fund by Mrs. R. 8. Bean, of Portland. Candidates for yell leader will be given an opportunity to try out for the position at the basketball game Friday evening. As a result of tho student straw vote on tho semester plan, adopted by faculty action, the present sys tem met the approval of tho stu dents by a 918 to 151 vote. The sophomore lottery will be held on January 26. « GLEE CLUBS WILL SING University Choir Vespers to Include Special Selections The University choir will render its monthly vesper service Sunday, January 20, in the Methodist Episcopal church. The choir is composed entirely of the Men’s and Women’s Glee clubs, and is directed by John Stark Evans, of the school of music, who also acts in capacity of organist. Special music during the service will include: “Crossing the liar,” by Charles II. Marsh, which will be sung by the choir. This version of “Crossing the Bar” is consider ed the most beautiful ever written. “Gloria,” by Buzzi-Peeeia, will be KODAK FINISHING with a Smile BAKER - BUTTON 7th and Willamette We buy and sell and exchange new and used goods.

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. PACKARD PUBLISHES WORK ON NEW KIND OF OYSTER “The Abberant Oyster,” a no tice of the discovery of a new species of oyster, has just been published by Dr. Packard of the geology department. The remains of this creature have been found in the Eocene rock near Boseburg and the book names and describes them.
