Our Chinese Problems
"IIITHETHER we agree with the statement “As China goes,
so goes the world,” made by Mr. Joseph W. Hall in his
assembly address, we should not belittle the destiny of approxi
mately 350 millions of people living in the most fertile region
of Asia. To do so is an injustice to the Chinese and a silly
prejudice for the Western world to delude itself with.
We have no reason to believe, competent scientists inform
us, that we are in any way superior to the Chinese, except, per
haps, in material development; and the history of the Japanese
nation during the past sixty years shows clearly enough that
this is not an insurmountable barrier.
The West has no reason to fear a rising tide of color, or
an uprising of the brown and yellow races against the “whites”
as long as the Chinese retain and believe their essentially pacific
philosophy. Mr. Hall tells us this is so and other authorities
on Chinese affairs vouch for it. On the other hand, these same
authorities tell us that the Japanese and the Russians are mak
ing subtle attacks on this philosophy of peace, hoping ultimately
to undermine it and convert the Chinese into a potential mili
tary resource.
Whether or not the nations which to some extent justly
resept our actions toward them succeed in fanning the embers
of Chinese hatred against the Nordic race depends wholly upon
our conduct toward the Chinese. If by our action we convince
them of the futility of their national existence we will, as Mr.
Hall says, align them against us. But should our better judge
ment prevail and allow us to recognize the virtues of a civiliza
tion which has survived through forty centuries of vicissitudes,
then we are almost certain to recognize and respect the better
qualities of this enduring nation.
Whether or not we should place the Chinese, who are said
to have inherent capacities not different from our own, on a
social basis with ourselves, is another question. More important
is, that we should recognize the Chinese for what they are,
forget our assumed racial superiority complex until it has be
come more of a certainty than a prejudice, and treat the Chi
nese as we ourselves should prefer to be treated. Until we
change our tactics and do this thing, and until the other West
ern powers follow suit, Russia and Japan will find ample ma
terial for their attacks on the philosophic pacificism which
has kept China a relatively peaceful nation for four milleniums.
DANCING INSTRUCTOR 1
RETURNS TO POSITION
Miss Lillian Stupp, dancing in
structor of the department of physi
cal education, will take charge of
her classes Monday after <a two
weeks’ leavet of absence.
She was called to her home in
St. Louis, Missouri, at the beginning
of the Christmas holidays due to
the extreme illness of her father.
During her absence, Miss Stupp’s
work has been handled by the other
members of the physical education
staff and three majors in the de
partment. Neva Service was placed j
temporarily in charge of senior ma
jor work, Bell Taggart was given
junior major work, and Janet Wood
■ubst.ituted for Miss Stupp in her
sophomore dancing classes.
FACULTY MEN TAKING
INTEREST IN SPORTS
Since the beginning of last term,
the men of the faculty have showed
great interest in minor sports. Vol
ley-ball, hand-ball and fencing have
proved of much interest to the pro
fessors.
Volley-ball, one of the liveliest
of games, is especially popular
among the faculty men and they
turn out in large numbers for it.
They mail be seen hard at it nearly
every night, serving and returning
the ball over the net. They are
rapidly becoming adept at the game
and can give any opponents a
hard battle. They say that after
another week’s practice, they will
consider challenging the four dif
ferent classes to meet them. Such
games would be scheduled in the |
near future and probably be play 'd
on the floor of the men’s gym.
Hand ball also is ft favorite, and
ninny of the teacher-players crowd
the courts nightly. Fencing is be
ing taken up by n considerable num
ber of the faculty. Beginners at
these sports are being coiached by ■
the physical education majors who
aro receiving credit for time spent
in the manner.

Communications
Letters to the EMERALD from stu
dents and faculty members are
welcomed, but must be signed and
worded concisely. If it is desired, the
writer's name will be kept out of
print. It must be understood that the
editor reserves the rijrht to reject
communications.
TO the Editor of the Emerald:
I noticed in today’s Emerald a
heading, "Corsages Barred From
the Senior Ball by Dean Esterly.’’
This was a misunderstanding on the
part of the Emerald reporter, as
the direction of the senior ball is in
the hands of a senior committee.
Very truly yours,
VIRGINIA JUDY ESTERLY.
January 16, 1925.
It might be interesting to “A
Student”—whose letter appeared
in Wednesday’s Emerald—to con
sider the possibility that it was
perhaps no overpowering desire on
the part of Mr. Leiber to be in
tensely “human” that caused him
to say, “Alas, poor Yorick, I knew
him Horatio,” instead of, “Alas,
poor Yorick, I knew him well.”
Perhaps Mr. Leiber is not acquaint
ed with the latter wording. In the
Variorum (undoubtedly authorita
tive), then Gollancz Edition, the
Theobald Edition, the Staunton
Edition, the Shakespearian plays of
Edwin Booth edited by William
Winter, the line appears as Mr.
Leiber gave it. Other editions could
be mentioned, but I have no desire
to make my letter encyclopedic. I
suggest that “A Student” send
“its” edition to Mr. Lieber.

LIBRARY RETURN DESK
PROVING SUCCESSFUL
Oregon First to Establish
Receipt Check System
Since Monday morning, January
11, all students have been returning
books to the discharge desk in the
library and there given receipt slips.
This innovation in the handling of
returned books was made, according
to Mrs. Mabel McClain, head of the
circulation department, in order to
give the students a check on the
books returned in case any errors
are made at the circulation desk.
Unpaid fines will be taken care
of from now through the business
office, Mrs. McClain announced, and
will be collected at the beginning of
each term along with the regular
fees. It is to avoid any possible
misunderstanding over this matter
of returned books that receipts are
being issued. Students are. urged
to preserve all receipts issued them
by the library as a protection
against any errors which might be
made with regard to overdue books.
Fines are, as a rule, settled with
a fair degree of fairness, the li
brarian reports, and are usually
rather small. Occasionally a book
is lost of misplaced, resulting in a
fairly heavy fine to cover the cost
of the missing volume.
The University of Oregon library,
with possibly one exception, is the
only library in the United States
which employs the receipt system
in checking over returned books.

LARGE SQUAD OF MEN
OUT FOR RIFLE TEAM
R. 0. T. C. Students Receive
Sighting Instruction
The 30 or 35 men of th^ B. O.
T. C. who are turning out for the
rifle team are practicing nightly
in anticipation of the matches to
•he held soon. However, 46 students
signed up for the sport and it is
desired that they all report.
Captain J. T. Murray, who is
coach of the marksmen, is drilling
them this week mainly on sighting.
Some * instruction has been given
on position, while practice in trig
ger squeezing will come next week.
The rifle team will learn to shoot
from the four positions, standing,
prone, kneeling, and sitting.
Preliminary instruction is one of
the most esesntial phases of marks
manship, according to Captain Mur
ray, who says that a student trained
in the right way will be able to
shoot well the first time he actually
fires.
Some of the men are apt to get
the idea that they have had enough
preliminary instruction without ac
tually firing, but in this, “they
cannot get too much practice,” says
Captain Murray.
INTER-CHURCH SOCIETIES

A meeting of the the Inter-church
Co-operative Student committee for

cacinet, presided. The date of the

ated affair, will be given out soon,
it was announced.
