MEN LINING UP
FIR Oil. MEET
Wrestlers Promise a Fast
Squad This Season
NOVICES MAKE SHOWING
Veterans are Hard Pressed
To Uphold Record
When O. A. C.’s squad of wrest
lers journey to Eugene, February 9,
for the initial conference meet of the
season, they can expect to meet a
much faster and stronger team of
grapplers than fell to their mercy
last season. This is evident by the
way thp men have been showing up
in their workouts.
Although Coach Widmer has not,
as yet, picked his regular team, he
has a good line on all of the candi
dates. The Corvallis lads realize
that they will be given a chance to
extend themselves, so are working out
daily for the occasion. Although the
majority of their letter men are not
back, they have in Reed, Nixon, and
Selfridge a trio of grapplers that will
stack up well on the coast.
Aggies Have Veterans
Reed and Nixon are lettermen and
Selfridge was a member of the rook
team last year. Previous to that he
represented the Multnomah club of
Portland. A report has been sent
out that the D. A. C. mentor has a
job on his hands picking out a team,
as some of the new men have been
showing up strong and are hot on the
trail of the more experienced grap
plers.
The same situation seems to be
true with Coach Widmer, Sumption,
Chatburne, Robertson, and Akers,
are back and working hard but find
that they are being pressed hard to
retain their place on the team. As
there are no men out for the 118
pound class weight, the light weight
will be 125 pounds. Widmer’s best
bets in this class are Sumption,
Ford, Kilgore, and Rew. These men
are nearly on par and -it will al
most be a toss-up to see who lands
the position.
Men are Husky
In the 135 pound division those
showing up best are Chatburne of
last year’s team, Whitcomb who
wrestled on the varsity in 1922.
Baird, Simola, and High are also in
the race. Robertson and Byers are
the only men that Widmer has in
the 145 class. Robertson wrestled
last year and is going strong this
year. The middle weight class finds
Poulsen, Prescott, Negrin, Blaesing,
and French trying to step into this
berth. The best looking prospects
in the light heavy-weight class are
Akers, Mills, and Wells. These men
are husky, and are able to put up
an exhibition that could not be
passed up.
A meet for the freshmen may be
arranged soon, as graduate-manager
Benefiel is dickering with Franklin
high of Portland and Corvallis high.

Robert W. Chambers’
“The COMMON LAW” i
ed in an overpowering industrialism
that threatens to destroy the very;
soul of her greatest resource, the I
mass of her people. Here on thej
Pacific coast we still have some of
that treasured pioneer freedom. We
can get a perspective of industrial
ism th°at is denied our eastern neigh
bors who are a part of the system.
Would it not be wise to study the
problem, while still free from the
evils of huge production, before in
dustrialism sweeps ever our coast?
It is coming to us. and coming fast.
If our children are to have the same
chance to develop the whole man as
we have, it is our job to meet the
problems of industrialism with work
able solutions. Woe to us if we sit
idly by and let our children develop
into mechanical beings with atro
phied intelelets and embittered souls.
There may be many phases to the
problem and as many solutions. The
writer desires to present some argu
ments Paul Blanchard, organizer and
field secretary of the League of In
dustrial Pemocracv in the LTnited
States, gave to the students at the
Tndianar>olis convention.
Speaking on “Human Relation
ships and Industry,” he demanded
that Christianity be made the leaven
of industrialism.
“We are confronted with the pro
blem of modern industrialism,” he
said, “and we want to see what it
has done to human life. It. has
created wealth, but how has it dis
tributed it? To answer that, let us
see the two ends of every large citv.
Tt means that the children of work
ers rarely are able to go to college.
“Has human intelligence the moral
right to develop society so that peo
ple on top have ten times too much
while others at the bottom have not
enough to eat? Modern industrial
ism has made a ghastly joke of the
death of the men who died in the
world war because it had not had
use for their ideals, the ideals for
which they gave up their lives.
“The most serious indictment of
modern industrialism is that it has
denied human freedom. Men in in
dustry have the right to demand
that a living wage be paid or the
plant shut down; an eight-hour day;
that employers bear the risk of un
employment ; that there be a meas
ure of joint control of industry, and
of capital and labor, and that there
be co-onerative ownership of indus
try. We are not to be contented
with personal kindness of employers,
but we want the power to compel
them to treat us fairly.
“I’d like to have a sign bearing
the title of a book I read recently,
‘Unoccupied Mission Fields,J hung
on the glass factories of Terre Haute,
on .the 5 and 10-cent stores of In
dianapolis and even an some of the
Christian churches of America.
“If Christ were here on earth and
worked in most modern factories, He
would have been discharged as an
agitator, for He stood for the rights
of workingmen and would stand to
day as one who held out for the
rights of workers.”
Some of us who are now in college
may be thrust overnight into the
seething mass of discontented work-,
ers. What will then be our atti
tude, our contribution to a better or
ganized society? The writer has no
solution to offer to the industrial
problem, but does take cognizance of
that problem and is seeking informa
tion on it. We believe the principles
of justice and right will work. But
when will all of us agree on just
what we mean by “justice” and
“right”?
UNUSUAL GIFT RECEIVED
BY WASHINGTON LIBRARY
University of Washington — An
unusual gift has recently been
presented to the University of j
Washington library by Miss Mary i
Fowler, curator of the Petrarch col
lection at Cornell university. It is
a catalogue of the collection, by
far the richest in the United States.
The collection was originally made '
by Daniel Fiske, professor of North
European Languages and librarian
at Cornell and was bequeathed by
him to the Cornell library.

SECOND—In any ecognized and
established democratic common
wealth, there never has been
countenanced, stomached, or toler

THIRD—These self-styled “high

to the cause of justice wrarrant

school of law being a part thereof.),
to wit, paragraph three of Oregon
Traditions, page eight of the hand
book published annually by the
Associated Students of the Univer

wearing of cords is limited to your
junior and senior years, and the
sombrero, CANE, and moustache,
only when you have reached senior
hood.”
It is furthermore announced and
declared, and delivered as an ultim
atum that the class of 1924 of the
University of Oregon holds null
and void the order or decree of the
alleged authorities and powers of
the school of law, pertaining to

TWENTT-SEVEN UNITARIANS SAT
In a Letter Addressed to the Ministers and
Members of the Free Churches Known
as Unitarian
“To the adherents of our Free
Churches most of the dogmas now
under discussion (Referring to the
Modernist-Fundamentalist controver
sy) have long ago lost all reality and
meaning. The theqlogical assump
tions underlying them are too ar
chaic, and in no way essential to re
Jigious truth and life. Discussions
about the virgin birth of Christ, his
descent into hell and his physical
ressurreetion, and the defining or
interpreting of doctrines that are,
for the most part, based on alleged
facts or events that are beyond all
possible verification, seem to us
‘ like darkening counsel by words
without knowledge.’ We cannot but
regard an emphasis upon any exclu
sive dogmatic distinction a curious
distortion of religious values and a
futile effort to exalt the letter above
the spirit of Christianity.
“Shall we not strive to be inclusive
in spirit, charitable in judgment, gen
erous in hospitality? Let us guard
ourselves against all unrighteousness
and self-seeking, and then let us re
affirm our belief that true religion,
while, of necessity, guided by clear
thinking, is not a system of doctrine,
but a way of life that what the
world needs to day is not a faith
about Jesus Christ, but the faith of
Jesus Christ. Let us make plain our
fellowship with all who are seeking
to ‘do justly, love mercy, and walk
humbly with God,’ with all who want
to humanize the religious beliefs, and
democratize the religious institutions,,
and christianize the religious life of
our time.”
In the sermon at the Unitarian
church Sunday morning the pastor,
Frank Fay Eddy, will consider the
significant statement from which the
above excerpts, signed by twenty'
seven Unitarian leaders, in compari
son with the doctrines of the Funda
mentalists, using the topic: “The,
Lesser and the Larger Faith."
The soloist at this service will be
Jane O’Beilly, violinist.
There are classes for University
men and women in connection with
the Church School which meets at
the close of the Morning Service.
The Morning Service^ begins at
10:45 o’clock. The church building
is located on East Eleventh Avenue
at Ferry Street.
The church which is distinctively I
modernist in its view-point is known
as “The Little Church of the Hu
man Spirit.”

props, insofar as it conflicts with
the aforementioned common law of
the University of Oregon.
Finally, it is hereby resolved by
said class of 1924 that violations
of the above stipulated venerable
tradition and custom, to wit, the
privilege of carrying, wearing, or
otherwise ostentatiously revealing
the possession of the article of
adornment under discussion, namely
a cane, shall be duly punished by
members of the class of 1924 as
they shall see fit. (Signed),

OREGON DEBATE TEAM
WINS FROM CANADIANS

he described to be in a state of
great financial chaos, brought on
by the irresponsibility and ’Corrup
tion of the Soviet system.
Soviet to Pay
Bailey, the second Oregon speak
er, met this argument with the
fact that the United States had
long since set such a precedent, and
that it had brought about no dis
astrous results. To prove this, he
cited the cases of recognition of
franee and Venezuela, very shortly
after they had repudiated their
debts. But even if recognition of
a bankrupt nation were incompat
ible with expediency, Bailey main
tained that there was no reason
why America should hold back, be
cause, he declared, that on three
separate occasions, one of them
within the past two weeks, the
Soviet had announced that they
would pay up their debts, and that
they would not seek repudiation.
Propaganda is Explained
The last speaker, M. Barr, sub
stantiated the argument of his col
league, and explained the propa
ganda system as it is practiced in
modern Russia, He quoted the
Russian minister as saying that
“the exportation of propaganda is
more important than the importa
tion of foodstuffs,” and this at a
time when millions were starving.

economies, was chairman. Judges
