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

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

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.

culties prevented an aggressive cam
paign in its behalf. Among both

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

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.”
