BARNES MAKES
STUDY OF RUSSIA
Foreign Situation Holds
Professor’s Interest (
MARX INFLUENCE FELT
Doctrine of Class Warfare
Causes Difficulties
Walter Barnes, professor of his
tory in the University, is making a
special study of the Russian revolu
tion. He finds the subject particu
larly interesting, and considers it
one of the most vital problems of
the day.
Mr. Barnes’s great interest in the
revolution is largely due to the fact
that in Russia there are over one
hundred million people trying experi
ments who are influenced in their en
deavor on the one side by the French
revolution and on the other by Karl
Marx. “They are attempting to se
cure for the workers the same free
dom in the factories that they have
in politics,” declared this man who
has made a study of the situation.
The western European worker has the
voting privilege, but he has no voice
in the running of the factory.
Revolution Stimulating
The Russians, Mr. Barnes says, are
profoundly influenced by Marx and
his doctrine on class war. In their
attempt to carry out these ideas, they
have met with all kinds of diffi
culties, and in meeting them, they
have been ingenious and unscrupu
lous. Behind all this there is the
great .intellectual development of
Russia which has been immensely
stimulated by the revolution and has
achieved a stage that was never
known under the old regime.
“Another reason for my interest
in these experiments,” declared Mr.
Barnes, “is a desire to understand
the Russian civilization. When we
realize that most great wars are
caused by one nation’s ignorance of
another and the intolerance of its at
titude, we become aware of the im
portance of studying foreign coum
tries and civilizations,” he said em
phatically. “So long as our intellec
tual horizon is limited by national
boundaries, it is very easy for any
militarist, to stir us up against some
foreign foe.”
Study Explains Conditions
“An interest in and study of the
French revolution suggested com
parison with the modern Bussian re
volution and led me naturally on to
try to understand Bussia and explain
the conditions of her civilization
which, as Mr. Colton so effectively
showed us at the last assembly, is
worthy of much study and scientific
attention. Although the Bolshe
viks deserve much criticism, it is in
teresting to notice that their party
seems stronger than all the other
Bussian parties put together,” said
Mr. Barnes. “This gives them a cer
tain right to be the representatives
of Bussia, and tempts us to study
their aims and methods.”
Mr. Barnes Jias given a course on
the Bussian revolution both in the
TTniversity and under the extension
department in Portland.

Writes Epic Cycle
Neihardt ceased writing lyrics
and short stories at a time when
both were in great demand to de
vote himself to his great epic cycle
of the development of the west,
the period of the pioneers between
1822 and 1890 west of the Missouri
river. He regards the body of leg
end that grew up about the heroes
of that time as “precious saga
stuff.”
As a sportsman Neihardt is an
able swimmer and a good marks
man. He is fond of the outdoors,
and has made a descent of the
Missouri river from Fort Benton,
Montana, in a boat built by him
self.
In 1917, Curley, the Crow scout,
sole surveyor of Custer’s column in
the Little Big Horn fight, made
Neihardt his blood-brother after the
Indian custom. This poet-laureate
of Nebraska bas spent much time
among the Indians studying their
! traditions and customs.
Poet Married Sculptures s
Neihardt married Mona Martin
sen, New York sculpturess, in 1908,
and has four children. It is the
I period of his married life that he
; sings of in his poems of fulfillment
in ‘‘The Stranger at the Gate.”
In pursuing his writing career Mr.
Neihardt writes at the rate of one
hundred lines a month, a fact which
may go far to explain the univer
sally acknowledged excellence of
his technique.
Committee in charge of receiving
Neihardt is: Margaret Skavlan,
Reese Wingard and Taylor Huston.
Eric W. Allen, dean of the school
of journalism, has been the com
mittee adviser since it was organiz
ed last year.

AMERICAN LEGION HAS
REUNION OF VETERANS
Ex-service Men Meet at Elks Hall
For Entertainment; Love in
Charge of Affair
The first annual reunion of the
veterans of the World War was
held last night at the Elks Temple,
under the auspices of the Lane
County Post of the American Legion
who presented a long and varied
program for the evening’s enter
tainment. This was the first af
fair of its kind ever held in the
state and it is expected to become
an annual event. The gathering I
was not limited to Legion members
alone, but to all ex-service men
with the aim of keeping all the men
in touch with each other more than
has been possible in the past
through the Legion alone.
Fred Kiddle, a former student of
the University, and state com- ’
mander of the American Legion,
placed the matter of the current
bonus issue before the men and,
urged them to express their desire
for its passage. The bonus bill,!
which goes before Congress at the
next session, would give to ex
service men throughout the entire
country the same privileges as the
state of Oregon gives to its own
veterans, the loaning of money for ,
business purposes, land or educa
tion.
Music, comedy and dances fur
nished the entertainment of the
evening, which ended with the con
sumption of much food, donated by
the merchants of tlie city. The af
fair was in charge of George Love,
post commander of the Lane:
County Post of the American
Legion.
MALADJUSTMENT THE
REASON FOR FAILURE

Then take the paper and bend it
around so as to form a cylinder
and you will see what? Behold, the
zone of genius and zone of crim
inality stand side by side. So it is
in life. The supremo genius and
the criminal stand side by side. One
creates and the other destroys.”
The philosophy of the business
man is different from that of the
college student who is trained by
the very nature of his studies to
criticize. The business organiza
tion of an American business man
represents his supreme creative ef
fort in life, said the speaker.
“If you have suggestions to make
and criticisms to offer, don’t begin
at once. Wait a while. Provo
your ability to do things in the
conventional way demanded by the !
firm, and show your worth to them ,
before you start to change. When !
your suggestions are first asked,)
be modest, don’t revolutionize
everything at once.”
Mr. Vining, who is a fine up-!
standing type of the American busi-1
ness man and a very forceful j
speaker, was popular with the stu-1
dents. A note of interest to the |
campus was added in the fact that |
the speaker was a former student;
of President Campbell. After ad
dressing the University students,!
Mr. Yining spoke at the Eugene
Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
A feature of the assembly was
the singing of a new Oregon song
composed by Ronald Reid. The
words and music were thrown on
the screen by the lantern and the
song was practiced by the student
body on masse led by the glee
clubs.
CORNELL WOMEN BOYCOTT
MEN WHO DRINK AT DANCES
Cornell University—A solution to
the problem of college men who go
to dances drunk has been offered
by girls attending Cornell univer
sity. The co-eds absolutely refuse
to dance with men who have even
a faint smell of liquor on their
breath. If every girl student in
the large universities would con
tinually discourage drinking as they
do in some cases, the problem of
