Marian Lowry Good Men and Fat Ones . Jlb discussing the subject of virtue an Oregon professor re-1: ceutly told a class that many so-called ‘1 good men ’ ’ are merely “fat men.” In other words those who are too lazy to be active get credit for not doing anything bud. It has been said that the man who does nothing has no enemies and likewise that a man’s greatest asset are his enemies, for their numbers guage the number of things which he has ! done. Perhaps the idea of considering an enemy an “asset” is carrying things too far, yet it is the active people who have , to bear the most criticism. 1 Public servants, whether they are serving a student body , or a nation are subject to a virtually continuous stream of abuse. 1 i They have the satisfaction, however, of knowing that the whin- , crs are usually the ones who have the least reason to talk, and j if they hold their place because of merit, that petty criticism is not worthy of notice. This is true on the Oregon campus as well as elsewhere. The man who spends his spare time, and he usually has plenty of it, in front of a fireplace, is the one who cries the loudest •when the more energetic students are advancing campus enter prises. Active students are too busy to criticise the thing they do not understand, and the things they do understand they are usually willing to help set right, or at least give the pro moter credit for being sincere in what he is doing. The regrettable part of present-day campus life at Ore gon is that the busy people are so busy they often have no time left for constructive criticism. Student leaders who welcome suggestions have great difficulty in obtaining help from those' who could do the most in the way of helpful criticism. This j leaves only the idlers to do the talking. Idlers are not enough] in touch with the situation to have a right to an opinion, much less to express one. Truly big people are not hurt by just criticism. A real leader will make an honest attempt to obtain a fair opinion on a pro ject which concerns the group. In making it harder and harder for campus misfits and sluggards to remain on the campus the rigid rulings of the higher standards advocates are doing good in a way that they probably have never realized. Portraits of Campus Types Are Painted (Continued from page one) you’ll find n pair of liorn rims and behind the horn rims, there peers out a pule youth of uncertain years, who defines an education as 186 hours, handed out on a platter. He is sure to get the full benefit of his allotment—and—what’s the odds if the world is no better? Every in stitution claims a few of these and perhaps Oregon is particularly for tunate—or unfortunate, according to one’s viewpoint, in having an nexed quite a number. “That man is sure to run for student-body something or other,” says the all-wise political shark. “Look at the way he lias been dat ing the Eata Bitc-a Pie’s.” Ho has all the campus possibilities picked out a year in advance and can give you dope on the way the inside machinery is run. Of course, things may turn out differently, but then, he, like the weather uuui, must have au occupation. Algcrnou is a typical tea hound. The Greekeases never lack an oblig ing male' to haul the Victrolaout to tho front porch when Algernon is around. And as for athletics, he is right, there to wave tho Lemon Yellow and Oreou from the grand stand when the hoys come in with a high score. Incidentally, he is always surrounded by a bevy of co-eds. Time and space will not permit one to enumerate the rest. Needless to say, there are many more whose sterling qualities are worth men tioning hut whose classifications will have to wait over till another time. CHARTER DAY CELEBRATED AT MONTANA University of Montana—-The thirty first charter day of the University of Montana will be observed February IS. Afternoon classes will be dis missed, and a special convocation for visitors and students held, at which an entertainment by the music and dramatic departments will be pre sented. In the evening, it is planned to have both men’s and women's basketball games with a radio con cert between halves. RADIO By Edward Bobbins Among the many communications which come in from radio listeners expressing appreciation of the week ly broadcasts of the University ex tension division comes a letter from Ray Allen, addressed to Dr. James H. Gilbert of the economics depart ment. This communication comes from an old student of Dr. Gil bert’s and goes to show how the radio puts old students in touch with the personalities of the University again. Dr. Gilbert broadcast a radio lecture on “The Tax Situation in Oregon” from station KGW on the evening of February 15. The com munication follows: “Dear Dr. Gilbert: Ha'd the pleasure last night of hearing your voice once more. You remember how the boys outside the library were going to petition for credit in your courses once? Weil, it looks as if you had beaten that now, when we hear you down in Sunny Cal. Wonder if either of our other two brothers in the ‘Overseas and Oversight club’ heard you speaking in another part of the world? Re gular ‘hands across the sea’ stuff, ain’t it? . . . .’’—Ray Allen, Box 150, Morgan Hill, California. Some interesting replies are com ng into the extension division to ho notices Alfred Powers sent out ;o the high schools of the state an louncing the U. of O.—U. of C. •adio debate Friday evening, Febru iry 29, at 8 o’clock, Pacific stan lard time. Sixteen replies were re vived in the advance guard, 11 of which are going to take advantage >f receiving sets and listen in. They ire going to be among the big audi mce and will cast their judgment, is will the rest of the audience, laid Alfred Powers. “The U. of O. has set the pace for American universities again,” writes J. L. Gary of the Union high ichool at West Linn, Oregon. ““The finest idea yet,” is the sxpression of O. Y. White of the Itayton high school in his reply. Such is an example of the way lie high school radio fans are look ng forward to tiie big event. The Roosevelt high school at Portland s planning on using its big arapli ier in tho high school’s auditorium. Phis Portland high has invited sev eral guests to the event. Several of he other high schools indicated ome similar plan. Such is sort of in advance guard indication of the mrnense audience the debaters will lave.

Memorial Court Explained The memorial court project was fathered by the alumni at the con •lusion of the war, but until the present time organization diffi culties prevented an aggressive cam paign in its behalf. Among both the executive committee and the livision chairmen are men who saw Active service. Fred Kiddle is date commander of the American Legion. Mr. Kuykendall served with the rank of lieutenant and captain. Dr. Fenton was a major in the medical corps, Mr. Geary served in the army air service as a lieutenant, and Mr. Galloway eu listed in 1918 and was later com missioned a first lieutenant in the field artillery reserve corps. Mr. Moores was in training with Col. Leader in the officers’ training •amp at Eugene when hostilities ended.

Younger Men Interested The > younger men among the group of division leaders served ef fectively in both military and civil war service branches, and have ex pressed keen interest in the fulfill ment of the dream for the Memorial Court, as well as for the fulfillment of other campus development plans. Mr. Bailey was a lieutenant of marines, Mr. Newbury, a lieutenant in the field artillery; Mr. Erskine, a sergeant-major in the chemical warfare service and later national committeeman in the American Legion. Mr. Steiwer held a com mission in the service. Managing director of the north western division of the Red Cross was Mr. Kilpatrick’s service, and Mr. Day was a special representa tive of the central division of the same organization. The alumni organization will co operate throughout the Campaign with Judge Carey’s national com mittee and the state committee. While Judge Carey is a graduate of Denison university of Granville, Ohio, and the Cincinnati college law school, he has taken a deep in terst in higher education in Ore gon since he came to this state. Col. Gilbert is a University regent. That the University faces a crisis which requires immediate re lief was the statement made yes terday by both President Campbell and Mr. Kuykendall. The enroll ment at Eugene within five years will be 5,000 students, double the present attendance. Its building program has been practically dis continued, as it is necessary to uti lize millage funds, University offi cials say, for the ordinary opera tion of the institution. “Other state universities have faced similar conditions,” said President Campbell, “and citizens through their individual and per sonal gifts have supplemented pub lic appropriations and enabled their institutions to continue to ren der service on an even higher and greater scale. U. of C. Receives Gifts “The University of California has received gifts totaling more than $13,500,000. Reports received recently from a number of state universities show the huge sum of $48,000,000 that public institutions, maintained from public funds, had received from private citizens. The University of Oregon is asking for gifts and benefactions so that our building needs may be met. “When the millage bill was passed in 1921, increasing funds available from taxation for higher education, the large increase in en rollment and the continued decrease in the value of the dollar, made it necessary for the University to de cide between two courses of action. It could either lower the quality and quantity of instruction by in creasing the number of classes, en gaging less experienced men as in structors and overloading them with work-in a word, “wholesaling” education; or it could abandon its building program and turn the major portion of its income into instruction. Standards Are Held “It was decided the only credit able course was to maintain proper standards of teaching in the faculty and proper standards of scholarship iu the student body. To do this it was necessary to abandon all thought of a building program on a scale commensurate with the normal growth MATTRESSES MADE OVER Returned same day O’BRIEN MATTRESS CO.

LEMON “O” SHINE PARLOR of the University. In deciding for teaching as against buildings,- the University authorities followed their convictions that the function of a state university is to give the best possible instruction to those students fitted to receive it, and, if necessary,; to give that instruction in adequate; buildings. They were confident that, if the instruction was rightly carried on, the proper buildings and equip ment would ultimately be forthcom ing. But the time has come when the University can no longer go for ward or even maintain its present standing without more buildings.” While the University is in great need of an auditorium, science build ing, men’s gymnasium, liberal arts building, and other structures, one of its most vital and pressing problems, according to President Campbell, is to accomodate those desiring to ob tain library facilities. At least three times the seating capacity of the present building is required to even meet present requirements. The main reading room now ac comodates 165.- University authori ties say it should seat at least one fifth of the enrollment, or approxi mately 500. Students now scatter [about the halls, stand around the room, sit on steps, and attempt to work under similar difficulties be cause here are no seats for them. Additional space is needed for stack rooms and similar rooms. “In ten years Oregon’s high school enrollment has almost trebled,” con tinued President Campbell. “The number of high school graduates has almost quadrupled. The number of these graduates going to higher in stitutes has increased extraordinarily. In 1892 one-fifth of the high school graduates went to college; in 1922 one-half of those who graduated went to college. In addition, a large part of Oregon’s growth in population in the next ten years will be due to new citizens; and this will still more in crease the students and graduates of the high schools. “In view of the factors just men tioned, a conservative estimate of the increase of enrollment at the Uni versity in the next five years is 100 pr cent. This increase is character istic of colleges and universities throughout the country. It is the re sult of the demand on the part of parents of small means and large who desire that their children may enter their life work with every prepara tion. Added to this is the fact that the state realizes that it is promoting most wisely its economic developments .and is adding, by many times its cost, to the wealth of the common wealth and its citizens.” BELL THEATER SPRINGFIELD ' SUNDAY HOOT GIBSON in ‘‘Hook and Ladder” His Newest Picture Monday % TUESDAY and )f‘ WEDNESDAY / A SWIFT REEL- i ING DOWN THE \ PRIMROSE PATH OF THE UNREAL.
