L Prohibition?
lyUNNY thing for a college paper to discuss—prohibition.
But personal experience and a number of conversations
with students who have returned from their home towns has
convinced that the topic is an interesting one.
We all know what kind of an impression “people” have
about university and college life. It is gained from reading
daily newspapers and, in some cases, from happening on such
books as “Town and Gown,” or “The Plastic Age.”
It is apparently a never-failing joy for many newspapers
to obtain “racy” stories about college life and the “doings”
of college students. They will play it up on the front page
with intriguing headlines and they will write long editorials
about the practice of hazing, or about co-eds smoking, or
about drunken parties. Much is made of every such oppor
tunity to create the impression that these are general practices
in the universities and colleges.
Of course, it is “old stuff” to say, “When I was young—”
but it develops that some of the students who have been dis
cussing this subject went to parties during the vacation which
were largely made up of high school students, and they were
not only surprised but disgusted with the atmosphere, literally
and figuratively. Three and four years ago things were not
like that. Dances did not start at eleven and continue to day
light. Adolescent girls, and boys, did not get tipsy and blow
.spioke in one another’s eyes at parties. So much for the
“younger set.”
There are similar parties which are attended by the older
folks. There are teas. Places where women sit about playing
bridge and vie with one another in naming the latest drink, and
how to concoct it.
The change from the active life of the campus, where a con
siderable amount of time and thought had seriously been de
voted to self-improvement and acquirement of intellectual
growth to the home town where a considerblae portion of the
people have apparently been devoting theigr energies and in
genuity to. the mixing and drinking of liquor, was rather a
shock.
The peculiar thing about the whole business is that it is
the so-called “upper classes” which seem to be so enthusiastic
about this business of sneering at the very laws they themselves
made and at outwitting the officers, their own public servants,
whom they, themselves, are employing to “enforce” these laws.
Sounds rather foolish and futile.
We hear that the “upper classes” are decreasing and the
“lower classes” are increasing in the population proportion
figures. With louder and louder accents this fact is heralded,
and is looked upon as a menace to civilization. It is argued
that something must be done to retard this change, that it
should be reversed, if possible. We, in college, are told that
we, as the future citizens of the state and nation, will have to
wrestle with this situation.
Logically, it looks as though there is not much point in
propagating this variety if it persists in stealng the very jam
it hid from itself. Either it should learn better habits, or take
the jam out of the cupboard and say to itself, “Here. Ilelp
yourself.” The the jam won’t seem so desirable and won’t
consumo so much time and thought and talk.
And one student, who returned this term, wouldn’t have felt
the relief he expressed in the words, “I am glad to get back
here. It has a pleasant atmosphere after—where everybody
soemed to bo thinking or talking most of the time about liquor
parties and the latest drink.”
DEAN ALLEN ms !
CHICAGO CONFERENCE
!
Brie W. Allot*, dean of iho school
of journalism, and Arthur Ij. Stono,
dean of tho Montana school of
journalism, wore tho only represen
tatives from tho Northwest who at
tended the throe day conferences
of the American Association of
Schools and Departments of Jour
nalism, and the Association of
7teachers of Journalism, held at
Chicago December Hit, 30, and 31.
Because of tin accident, Dean M.
L. Spencer, of the University of
Washington, was unable to attend.
Dean Spencer, Mrs. Spencer, and
their baby were throws into a river
in a railroad wreck at Chippewa
Kails, Wisconsin, while en route to
the conferences at Chicago. The
baby was killed and Mr. and Mrs.
Spencer both injured, were taken
to the hospital, and Dean Spencer
was still ther* at the time of the
convention.
Attendance at the meetings was
very good and represented all parts
of thn country. Dean Allen said.
'‘In my estimation this ifc the first
time that teachers of journalism
have felt that they had a clear un
derstanding of their problem.
Schools are coming to be on. a much
sounder basis than was formerly
the case, with much less emphasis
on superficialities and easy tech
nique.
41 Younger men who were them
selves trained in schools of journal
ism are gradually coming to the
front as instructors in the schools.
I gat in with a group of older men,”
he said, “all of whom admitted that
the younger and more systemati
cally trained element was already
giving signs that in the course of
time they would do much better
than wo who had only i» newspaper
office training.”
Holiday meetings in Chicago in
cluded lawyers, sociologists, econo
mists and other social scientists,
while the physical science depart
ments held their meetings in Wash
ington.
The next meeting of the journal
ists will be at New York.

Resolutions resolutely resolving
Ag the new term brightly begins.
The cares of the past all dissolving
Forgetful of previous sins— .
I
We'll study and keep up our read
ing, .
And hand in our papers when due.
Our minds we '11 be carefully lead
ing I
On paths that are noble and true.
Yet when the term nears its end,
And the finals draw threateningly
near,
We’ll find that the “new” paths
we wend
Are the same as the previous year.

How lovely is the evening!
Then I skidded on a leaf
And the loveliness of evening
Changed beyond belief.
There little frosh, don’t cry
If you’re paddled ‘twill make
you grow
And in 50 years if you try
You’ll be a senior, I know.

I saw a hat come down the street,
A fine 8-quart sombrero.
Beneath there was a pair of feet.
A senior short? I guesso.

Purple, green, red and brown
Rainsticks passing up and down.
Shifting swerving, swinging low—
Sometimes catch an ear or so—
“O, I’m sorry”—then we part.
Rainstick dodging is an art!
LAW REVIEW STAFF
ADDS STUDENT EDITORS
State Bar Members to Con
tribute to Paper
Change in tho policy of the pub
lication of the Oregon Law Review,
has added to the staff a group of
student editors, Doan William G.
Hale announced.
These are selectod from the sec
ond and third year classes on the
basis of scholarship. Thofee now
serving are John R. Bryson, Rupert
R. Bullivant, Marion E. Dickey,
David B. Evans, Armond A. Fuchs,
Donald R. Husband, and Paul L.
Patterson.
This policy was adopted in order
to have a satisfactory method of
recognizing scholarship in the law
school and to give these students
an opportunity to do special re
search work and gain experience in
writing up their investigations. All
of their literary productions will
consist of comments on recent Ore
gon decisions and will be published
in the editorial section of the re
view under the title of Notes. As
yet iit has not been definitely de
cided whether a limit will be set
on the number of students who are
to be elected or whether a definite
scholarship standard will bo set.
Hereafter the State Bar asaoola
tiom will also take a pant in the
publishing of the quarterly in that
an editorial board will be selected
by the Association to secure and
edit contributions from the mem
bers of the Bar of the State#
