A University Church—A Real Need
For the want of a suitable chapel or auditorium, the Uni
versity has been a many-times guest of the First Methodist
church of Eugene. The coming of a new minister to that church
ought to be of some particular interest to the University com
munity. The ltev. J. F. Haas, D.D., has begun his ministry in
that church. We wish for him a success such as was achieved
by his immediate predecessor, Ur. J. M. Walters, who is one in
a thousand. Even those who disagreed with liinr in many re
spects had to admit that he was reaching the students more than
any man the town had ever seen.
And yet, for all that, we have the impression that Dr. Wal
ters went away from Eugene disappointed with the results of
his ministry here, and that, in part, because University students
do not attend church more regularly. It is generally admitted
that there is a strong tendency among students to slacken up
on their church obligations after 1 heir arrival at the Univer
sity, and despite all that the churches have tried to do in a
social as well as a spiritual way, only comparatively few keep
up their interest.
The University is blamed by a great many church people
for the apparent indifference of the students to religion. When
ever religion is conservative and authoritarian, the tendency
of a University training is to broaden and liberalize one’s views,
but this does not warrant the charge that the University fosters
indifference to religion. Education increases one’s capacity
to appreciate the finer things of life and religion. We believe
that religious inspiration is an indispensable part of student life,
and all hands should set about improving the religious situation.
It is agreed that the students who attend church with great
est regularity are those who live in town and were brought up
in the local churches. It is harder to make the student who
lives in a campus organization feel at home in a down-town
church. And that is not through any lack of cordiality on the
part of the town people. It is this “town and gown psycho
logy.’’ That is one thing.
Then there is the further fact that most students are in
different to denominational distinctions, and they do not like
to be divided up that way. They shrink from having a denom
inational brand put on them.
Laeli year the call for a University church becomes stronger.
There ought to be a cathedral-like structure such as Stanford
University has. It should have a non-sectarian weekly service,
at which the leading preachers of the state might lead the wor
ship. In connection with such a chapel, there ought to be rooms
for classes in religious education, with provision also for offices
for student pastors and Association secretaries.
If church leaders in the state and nation would provide
plans for such a co-operative enterprise, as the suggested Uni
versity church, certainly there must be philanthropists who
would be willing to give the necessary support. The influence
which each generation of students exerts throughout the state
is deep and pervading, and the need that the churches, not sim
ply locally, but in the state at learge, do their utmost to pro
vide adequately for the religious fellowship of the campus, is
correspondingly important.
It is noticeable that the University girl who relies entirely
on “vamping” her professors during the first term usually has
to revamp her course before beginning her winter term.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
To the Editor:
I am often astonished to see that
some American professors, well versed
in Political Science and World His
tory, coining forward with all seri
ousness and saying that the entry of
j America in the “League of Nations,”
j an enlarged edition of the “Holy
Alliance,” would stop all wars and
I establish World Peace. If their idea
of tho world is only limited to this
country, Europe and Great Britain, I
think they are right. However, tho
world is much bigger than that and
tho people of Asia are slowly but
surely awakening' themselves to the
realization of tho fact that they have
either to assert their existence or be |
“hewers of wood and drawers of
water” for the rest of their lives.
The League of Nations expects to
prevent wars and establish peace by
trying to make the present political
divisions of tho world static. Apart
from the many other defects in the
organization of the League into the
details of which it is impossible to
enter in a short communication like
this, I would like to point out one
great harm America will do to the
Last by her successful entry in the
League.
i Tf tho League is ever able to pre
vent the European nations from war
ring against each other, it will give
them the much desired-for opportuni
ty to carry on their economic ex
ploitation of the East on a systema-1
tic scale, having no worries of for
eign invasions, at home. The atro
cious crimes of murder and blood
shed committed by the Japanese
against the unarmed Koreans during
their recent catastrophe, the cold
blooded massacre of the Hindu pop
ulation in Upper India in 1010, just
after the war, when England was
free from external care, the bomb
ing of the poor innocent people of
the ‘desert’ whose only crime was
that they were entirely ignorant of
the scientific methods of human des
truction followed by the so-called
civilized nations of the world, and
all such atrocious crimes against hu
manity and Cod have not the slight
est chance of redress from the
League since they will be regarded
as “internal questions”.
Because of the tremendous world
influence America has since her un
questionable success in the world
war, she alone, if at all, can make
1 the League useful in any sense of
the word. By making possible a
state of affairs by which the Euro
Has the Fountain of Youth
at Last Been Discovered?

“BLACK OXEN”
'pean nations alone with Japan, will
be free from any foreign invasion,
America will be directly encourag
ing them to go on with the economic
exploitation of their dependencies.
Is America, to whom all the op- j
pressed nations of the world look
with reverence as an ideal of democ- j
racy and fair play, going to help;
these empire builders to perpetuate;
their domination over their unfortun
ate dependencies?

ATTACKING C. N. H.
To the Editor.
A thorough reading of Mr. C. N.
H. ’s column in the Sunday Emerald
has convinced me that the writer
picked up his rudiments of style
while writing for his high school an
nual, and somehow never got over it.
Starting from the first, his feeble
outburst on the law student cane sit
uation shows how his personality is
steeped in imitation English style,
when he quotes “cane carriers” as
saying, “they get their traditions out
of a little green hello book, written
by nobody in particular,” he is tread-j
ing on some-one’s toes, for he is ac-I
quainted with the author of the Hello :
book’s version of Oregon traditions,
and his remark is nothing less than a j
personal insult.
Next he goes on to religion-some- j
thing that should be left entirely outj
of the columns of the Emerald, es- j
pecially when treated in the very evi
dent spirit of levity as is done in
the column. No thinking person can ;
fail to condemn his feeble attempt at [
wit here.
His next petty outburst, directed
along the lines of condemnation of
the alleged sensuous saxaphone, is a
direct steal from a certain chapter in
“Town and Gown” to which he re
fers. The writer of this letter dares
him to produce a single student or
a single “good person” who ever ob
jected to the use of a saxaphone in
an orchestra. This is merely a weak
attempt to be funny by borrowing,
without credit, a real writer’s thun
der.
Passing on, we come to a para
graph about some women “making
fools of themselves” by driving down
Thirteenth avenue, (miscalled by him
“street”) in a “palsied, flivver.” Yet
the colyumist goes about the campus,
his head adorned with a sombrero on
which are written in various sizes,
the names of some three or four doz
en disciples of “fools names and
fools faces—”. But because others
indulge in a bit of levity, they are
unmercifully, in a high school-ish
way, plainly termed “fools!”
I am too weary to go over the
balance of the “colyum” but I am
certain that if a vote of tho campus
wore to be taken, the stuff would
be termed mere drivel. It is cer
tainly time we graduate from the
high school “ha, ha, that’s a good
one on you,” type of humor.

meet the scholastic requirements.

would have expected Schopenhauer

why expect the university students

COLLEGE GIRLS GROW
TALLER AND STOUTER
Co-eds of 1884 Weighed 3 Pounds
Less; Lack of Exercise
Probable Cause
University of Missouri—“College
girls are growing larger.” This is
the declaration of Miss Mabel New
comer, who has sent figures com
piled by the department of physical
education at Yassar college to Miss
N. C. Linn, nurse at the University
of Southern California.
Despite the tact that the college
girls are bigger around the rvaist,
they are more closely approaching
the statue of Venus than the misses
of several years ago. Since 1884
girls at colleges have sprouted
12-10 inches, according
statistics. Their weight
period has increased from
to
the
in this
123.8 to
125.8.
One of the big reasons for the
change in stature is the physical
training many high school girls re
ceive. Before entering college,
girls have received a good founda
tion for physical development. They
know how to take care of them
selves and are ready to make the
most of the physical education
courses that the university offers.
