Frank Purdy, director of the School of American Sculp ture, praises the work of Professor Avard Fairbanks, head of the sculpture department of the University of Oregon, this University may well take stock of itself. Such praise, in the first place, indicates three things: that the eyes of the east are turned upon us; that we are being judged in regard to our cultural interest in the higher things, in ideals and aesthetics; and that the stamp of approval has been placed on one of our creative artists. We should ask ourselves what part beauty plays in our culture. And we should question how much, as an institution which awards the degree of Bachelor of Arts to its growing numbers of graduates, we concern ourselves with the great force behind the title. • INURING the week, three attempts, one of which proved successful, have been made by robbers to enter campus living houses. This brings again to our attention the fact that a house in which some thirty or forty people are living proves an easy mark for the night prowler, since the door is left open to accommodate members necessarily out late. Out' of the introuders appeared to be wearing “cords,” cam pus insignia. One is inclined to dismiss *the thought that any University student would besmirch the honor of his institution J and risk bringing disgrace and punishment upon himself. Put with the recent incidents in mind, the house manager should provide a strong lock and see that it is in use every night. The Christmas college ball being staged in Portland over . the holidays has for its purpose the creation of a scholarship fund for deserving students at the University of Oregon. A worthy purpose, deserving our heartiest cooperation. Buy a ticket! , “Freshmen will be excluded from the senior halt because ( it is necessary to wear formal attire”—headline. Cheer up, ( babes; you may miss a lot of fun but you ’IF get a lot of com- 1 fort out of that soft collar. I, Dally News Editor This Issue Jalraar Johnson Night Editor This Issue Jasper V. Crawford Assistant.Robert Shepherd A Question of Honor I I Philippines Should Have Freedom, Says Speaker Julian C. Bulaon AddWesses History Club on Orient “I believe the Philippines should be given their independence at as early a date as possible. My per xonal belief why the United States is holding the islands is that tho> are afraid of conditions in the orient.” This was the statement given by Julian C. Bulaon, gradu ate student in history and a Fili pino, to the history elub in its meeting last night. Mr. Bulaon presented his paper during the first hour, while the sixteen members of the elub took up the latter part of the meeting discussing the situation. This was the first regular meeting of the now history dub. The point was brought out that the Philippine claims are based on purely sentimentalism. They have practical aut.omony now in their local affnirs. They have a congress and all of the executive staff are natives with tlv exception of the governor general and a few like that. Despite this through a purely nationalistic spirit the islanders are asking for their independence. YOUNO SPORTS WRITERS ARE EDITORS THIS WEEK Emerald readers may have not iced an added zest in sport stories this week, or at toast an abundanee of such nows.

The men, on their respective days, made out the assignment, book,, and took charge of alt work done. PORTLAND GRADUATES GIVE MONTHLY DINNER The Portland graduate club, which is composed of about sixty members, held its last monthly meeting at dinner on Saturday, De cember ti. Alfred R.

Northwestern—The first sweep ing educational inventory of an American university is about to be effected at Northwestern according to an announcement made by Presi dent Scott. The inventory will in clude every department and school of the university and will differ radically from other and similar attempts in that leading educators from various sister universities have been invited to be investiga tors and their work should be most citical and helpful. . . Large crowds attended the debate on “Re solved, That religion is essential to a college man.” No decision was reached. . . For the first time “Cumnock Silver Cup” and a prize of $250 are offered to the group of American undergraduate stu dents who most effectively produce and act a one-act drama at North western on January 1, 1925. The choice of play, directing, and acting will be considered. Michigan—Dean A. H. Lloyd of the graduate school has been named acting dean of the new Michigan School of Religion which has been an air castle for more than 20 years. It has been made possible by the 'establishment of a three year en dowment fund of $25,000 per year to finance the institution through its experimental stage.

The drive is being carried on by the different colleges and at present the College of Journalism is first, with Agriculture a close second. | Editorially Clipped *£>■--<S> STYLE AND DECENCY Ordinarily, style and decency are two distantly related subjects, but on the campus today they are close ly coordinated. To be in style does not mean that the women must pick ' up every freak fad that comes along. It does not mean that they must go to all ’ the extremes of the prevailing! modes. Neither can they be “back- j woodsy” in their apparel, There is j a happy medium. No ott® objects to seeing a well-, attired, up to the minute, young lady, wearing the latest dresses, but some of the more old fashioned fogies like the writer are strongly disgusted when they see la would-be flapper tripping down Oread ave nue with her dress hitting at the knees or above and her stockings rolled below. Such would-be ’s' are usually braz- I en enough that they do not mind the remarks and jibes of the men, which they cannot help but over hear. Maybe they like them, who knows? At any rate, there is a very no ticeable line of distinction between style and decency. If shorter dresses are the “hot stuff” for the season,—7all well and good, but there is no excuse for indecency. —University Daily Kansan.
