NUMBER 31 The of Nations This Week: British Spies, Clever Communists, Gandhi and Spanish Rule. L — By Glenn E. Hoover —* A most respectable nation it seems, may indulge in practices which would cause an individual to be shunned in any decent society. A glaring instance of this double standard of morality is spying, and worse still, spying in time of peace. It appears that the Admiralty of the virtuous Britain has had sta tioned at Moscow a most efficient spy, euphemestically called “agent” who has surreptitiously obtained copies of confidential documents of the wicked Soviet Bussia. • • • The wicked communists set a trap for the agent of -the virtuous Britain, for which he fell, hook, line and sinker. They left lying about, what purported to be a let ter from Zinoviev, one of the lead ers of the Third International, to the communists of Britain, inciting them to increased revolutionary ac tivity. Photographs of th^ “plant ed” letter were sent to London and were later given to the press as authentic, though it was never sent nor intended to be sent to the British communists. The whole affair caused a furore in England and it is to be hoped that some of the righteous wrath may be directed against the das tardly practice which brought it about. * • • Belgium has established in the Congo, a sanctuary or reservation for gorillas. It is estimated that there are only about 2,000 gorillas remaining in all Africa, and this area, 250 miles square, is to be barred to hunters and visited only by scientists. It will be interest ing to observe the effect upon the gorilla culture, of this policy of “splendid isolation.” « * * A federal ,court at Philadelphia has just decided that San Mjarino is a nation and as such is entitled to a quota of immigrants. * * * Mahatma Gandhi has fasted three weeks as a rebuke to his Mjoslem and Hindu followers who had in dulged themselves in race and re ligion riots. He believes the old practice of “going supperless to bed” should follow misconduct on the part of children, only the par ents, not the child, should lose their supper. This seems somewhat ‘akin to the quaint Chinese custom, ac cording to which, the conscience of defaulting debtors is often touched by finding on the door-step the corpse of the creditor, who shows •his displeasure by taking his own, ♦ not his debtor’s life. While the West may never adopt these methods of the East, we must not despise their efficacy. Gan dhi’s fast provoked an important Hindu-Moslem Unity conference, with 300 representatives from all parts of India. A eommon effort to drive out the English may yet re sult in some sort of mutual toler ance. V. Blasco Ibanez, noted Spanish author, proposes to overthrow the military dictatorship now govern ing Spain. He will send two planes armed with 2,000,000 copies of his pamphlet “King Alphonso Un masked,” and these idea-projec tiles will be hurled, so to speak, into the brains of the Spanish people. We sympathize with the aims of Senor Ibanez and, rather gloomily, wish him luck. We cannot agree however, that in any real sense, King Alphonso was the cause of the failure of parliamentary govern ment in Spain. The truth is that democratic institutions have oper ated very indifferently in the Latin countries. If we cheritably draw a veil over the past and note only the actual situation, we find gov ernments based on a coup d’Etat in Italy, Spain, Chile, a revolution in Brazil, and almost chronic dis orders in the Central American and Carribbean republics. Even in France, the present regime is sig nificantly called the Third Repub lic. Without joining in the somewhat blatant self-praise by whieh we Nordics have distinguished our selves of late, we may frankly ad mit that the Latin peoples have had a very modest success in play ing at being democracies. A thor ough-going Nordic will say it is the race. Others of u® must wait un til illiteracy, ignorance, and organ ized superstition have given the berated Latin blood a chance. UNIVERSITY IIIIS HIT TODAY R. 0. T. C. Department With Entire Band to Turn Out For Armistice Day Parade Music Program Features Celebration Ceremonies After Return to Armory The University of Oregon will be officially closed today in considera tion of the national armistice day. Although there is no actual Uni versity program arranged in cele bration of the holiday, the Ameri can Legion of Eugene has planned ; a downtown parade at 10:30 and afterwards, a patriotic assembly in the armory featuring speeches and musical numbers. The R. 0. T. C. band is to turn Qut as a uint, it was planned yes terday, since they are to be one of the factors of the parade. It is re quested by Colonel W. 6. Sinclair, that all University men who are taking work in the military depart ment be on hand to enter the par ade. From the support and co operation which the department has received on previous occasions, it is thought that at least eighty per cent of the students will respond to the call. Men Report at Barracks The men are to report at the R. O. T. C. barracks in full uniform at 9:30 today. There they will re ceive all extra equipment, form in companies and, led by the band, march down to Oak street between Sixth and Seventh, where the pa rade is to form. The parade route is from Fifth avenue east, up Willamette street to Thirteenth, return to Seventh and thence to the armory. A full minute of silence with the parade at halt will be a minute of rememb rance for the fallen service men. The services at the armory will be of a distinctly festive nature, ac cording to George Love of Eugene, post commander of the American Legion, who is in charge. Noise will be the dominating element of the occasion. Music Program Arranged Dr. E. V. Stivers, of the First Presbyterian church, will be the main speaker at the ceremony in the armory after the parade has ended. There will also be songs from the University of Oregon glee club, war songs from veterans, num bers from the Legion drum and bugle corps, the I. O. O. F. band and the Winter Garden Oregonian orchestra. The Eugene-Salem high school football game at Hayward field and ' (Continued on Pape Four') Delicate Doughnuts Slated to Displace Thursday Breakfast Doughnuts, sugary confections of pure deliciousness, syntheses of culinary art, toothsome, delect able enough to tempt an anchor ite. . . These are the kind that Theta Sigma Phi, national women’s journalistic fraternity, will pur vey to the student body Thursday at a nickel the doughnut or a dime for two or two bits for five, ad infinitum. No limit is set on the number that any one per son can buy. Their conscience (or their digestion) shall be their only guide. From the wee small hours of dawn to the last dark hours of the day the tired journalism wo men will sell doughnuts to ap pease the ravaging appetites of hungry students. Get your doughnuts early is the warning issued to those who would taste the delights of true culinary art. GRID GRAPH CHARGE IS NOT EXHORBITANT Cost of Operation is $50; Original Price $1300 Because of some discussion and apparent dissatisfaction on the part of Oregon students over the price which the Order of the “O” charges for admission to the grid-graph, the following facts have been released by the office of the president of the student body by way of ex planation : The initial cost of the grid-graph is in the neighborhood of $1300 and each time it is operated the expense is approximately $50 ac cording to the varying distance from the University that the game is played. , This expense makes the sum of 35 cents admission very insignifi cant unless quite a large number at tend. Another item which must be taken into consideration is the fact that the grid-graph can be used only four times a year and is then of no value until the following football season starts. It is ex pected that it will take several years for the grid-graph to pay for itself because of this fact. The grid-graph belongs jointly to the Order of the “O” and the stu dent body, and any money made must first be passed on regularly through the executive council be fore the Order of the “O” can use it. Evidence therefore points to the fact that the admission charge is not excessive considering the ex pense of operation. ORGAN, NEARLY READY FOR USE, SHOWS EXQUISITE WORKMANSHIP Installation of the big Reuter organ at the new auditorium in the school of music building, is fast nearing completion and it is ex pected everything will be finished by the fifteenth of this month, ac cording to John Stark Evans, in structor of piano and organ at the school of music. Mr. Evans said he had watched the installation of several organs, and that the Reuter, to his knowl edge, has the best quality of mater ial and expert workmanship of any he had seen. “Even though the pipes are not visible from the audi torium, the joints are so perfect they look like a thread and are not rough-looking as in most other or gans. This is one illustration of the care taken to obtaip the finest quality of tone,” said Mir. Evans. “Most orgaft manufacturers pay their mechanics by the piece, but the Reuter company employs all its help by the day and are thus as sured of perfect workmanship,” continued Mr. Evans. In the echo organ, located in the ceiling above the balcony at the rear of the auditorium, is a set of the highest quality Degan chimes. The set is composed of twenty large nickel-silver tubes, the longest about six feet, and the others ranging in proportion to the shortest, which is two and a half feet. «. They .are suspended vertically on a wooden bar, and the tone is ob tained by hammers striking the tubes. These hammers are moved by electric magnets, controlled by the organist from the console. The*harp is at the top of the front organ, at the back of the stage, and is built on the same prin ciple as a marimba, but much larger. The tubes are placed hori zontally and the wooden bars ver tically, which is opposite from the construction of a marimba. The striking of the hammers on the wooden bars is so arranged that it gives the same tone as a harp when played softly. “It is planned,” said Mr. Evans, “to give a musical program every Sunday afternoon in the new audi torium.” These programs will prob ably start at 4 o’clock, the same hour that the vespers have been given. There will be the monthly vesper service, the Mu Phi Epsilon program, a school of music faculty program, and a fourth, probably to be given by the students of the school of music. Mr. Jost, president of the Rutei Organ company, is personally di recting the installation of the or gan, t Miss Ebba Frederickson To Appear in Concert Wednesday at ViHard Washington State Normal Audience Enthusiastic in Praise of Young Artist Miss Ebba Frederickson, the 20 year-old Seattle violinist who has appeared in a number of large American and European cities, is the first outside artist to be pre sented in Eugene under the aus pices of the Mu Phi Epsilon music fraternity.

Trip Will be.Lively On the way down special enter tainment is being planned which will insure the fact that thero will not be one dull moment from the time the whistle screams when the train leaves Eugene to the time the brakes are applied when the train pulls safely back again with a load of tired but jubilant Oregonians. Another special train will also leave Eugene Saturday morning at 8 o’clock, to accomodate those who are unable to leave Friday evening, which will arrive in Portland in time to participate in the giant ser pentine and parade through the business district of the town, which will proceed the game by an hour or two.

KENDELL-ELLIS MAKES DONATION TO CAMPAIGN Proceeds From Oregana Pictures are Given The latest donor to the Univer sity Gift Campaign is the Kennell Ellis Portrait Studio of Eugene, ac cording to announcement made by campaign headquarters yesterday. The contribution is made by giving to the University the receipts ob tained from photographic services to the Oregania. In accordance with the usual cus tom, when students appear to be photographed for the Oregana, they will order two negatives and one retouched' print. The charge for this service is 75 cent*. This sum m each case will be given by the studio to the University, and the Oregana will be supplied with the individual photographs without charge. If 1000 individuals should appear for photographs, the Univer sity would thus realize $750. The gift will be in proportion to the number of negatives and photo graphs required.
