And What of Freedom? 'X'lIE STUDENT body is looking forward to lectures by Fred B. Smith, chairman of the citizen committee of 1,000 for law enforcement in the United States. lie will speak not only on law enforcement, but on citizenship in general. Preparation should he made for Mr. Smith, not only in arranging his talks, but in looking into his subject. Law may he considered from two points of view. But from either point of view it will he seen to he based upon man’s de sire for freedom. Too often the idea of law is associated with that of coercion. Whether we look upon law as heaven-born and inspired, reaching for order out of chaos, or whether we look upon it as a social or psychological problem, a by-product, perhaps, of evolution, law is nevertheless man’s, made by him, and for himself. Let us look upon it as man’s machine, for it is as much liis as a machine would he. He invents it as an easier means for getting on. It may at times he awkward. It may need improve ment ami overhauling. But it has its advantages, It serves him. Like all machines it. obeys the divine laws of mechanics, is true to its own nature. But because a man may catch his finger in a machine it is not necessarily a reason for discarding the machine itself. ! ■« It has been said that. laws may be regarded as a wall, lo one person within that wall, life may seem a irettul, a narrow thing. While to another on the outside, who may have looked beyond that wall into a chasm below, life seems safe and happy. One looks upon the wall with aversion; the other with satisfac tion and security. Civil law should be our peculiar pride in this country in that it is a wall of our own building, defining certain limits, keeping us from treading on each other. It is the product of our civilization. If it is imperfect, the more reason for study ing it! Certain balances must be maintained. Certain rights are guaranteed for the majority. Certain checks are permitted for the protection of the minority. Provision is made for changes when the minority in its turn becomes the majority. We are the government. We have a voice. We are indeed “citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country.” Whatever will be said by Mr. Smith in stimulating an inter est in citizenship can be counted a distinct gain. It will be ful filling one of the purposes for which the state has founded the University—that of adding to the education of its citizens. FRATERNITY INVESTIGATION PROPOSED AT MINNESOTA University of Minnesota.—Inves tigation of social fraternities on the campus by the legislature has been proposed by a member of the legis lature. The investigation is pro posed because of the complaint that representatives of the Jewish fra ternities have been refused places on the inter fraternity council. The state representative wants no dis crimination shown on the campus. RE-ENTRY REFUSED 391 STUDENTS AT CALIFORNIA University of California. - Failing to pass in the required ten units of work, 391 have been disqualified for re-entrance to the university this semester. This number does not include those who have pre viously been disqualified or those who have failed to make the re quired C average, the recorder’s office says. -- The following freshmen will report to the Order of the “O” on the library steps at 10:50: Paul Clark, Clinton Davison, Glen Potts, Maurice Oates, Bruce Todd, Clyde Montague, j Reginald Stnart. George Hill, Edward Daniels, Ted Becker, Harry Brock, and Leroy Draper. COLORADO COLLEGE HAS NEW SLAUGHTER HOUSE Colorado Agricultural College.— The new slaughter house being con structed under the direction of Pro fessor Smith is nearly ready for use. The building is practically finished and the equipment in cludes a large boiler, a portable smoke house, and a large scale to weigh the carcass without taking it from the track. Might hogs and three beeves can be handled at a time with the new equipment in a much more efficient manner than has been possible in the past. y agaries Solely “pour le sport,” the writ er will calmly announce that the column this morning will be satur ated with seriousness. No attempt will be made to vie with my witty (if not somewhat humorous) con temporaries. It is hoped that the transitory change will meet with success. When people say they do not see anything in literature they very often mean that they do not see themselves in it—which, if it is not a comedy or a satire, is likely enough. # • # The topic for discussion this morning will be Phi Beta Kappas, Friars, and other intellectual Bab bits. The Phi Beta Kappa (genus egoistitci) was declared extinct be fore the foundation of the school of ethics in the University of Ore gon. Since that time several of these peculiar mutations have hap pened among the students. The subtle word “among” is used here, for it is said that these figures are “among” us but not “with” us. • * * Hawthorne once said: “An un happy gentleman, resolving to wed nothing short of perfection, keeps his heart and hand till both get so old and withered that no tolerable woman will aiccept them.” Haw thorne had never heard of a Phi Beta Kappa woman. “Pour le sport,” let us say that one of these Phi Beta Kappa women DIP marry. It is granted that she is one of the “perfect women, nohly planned,” and of course she must launch her matrimonial career on the theory that she was born for warning, comforting, and com mamnding. It must be exceedingly hard on them in their inexperience, sometimes, and they must have min utes of turmoil when they are afraid that they haven’t command ed right. ^COMING EVENTS I <?>—---.—<•> Friday, January 30 7:00 p. m.—Senior theatre' and skating party.

STANFORD PROFESSORS GIVE SATIRICAL COMEDY Stanford University.—College pro- i fessors at Stanford university cast j aside their traditional robes of ser- ! iousness and intellectuality Jan uary 9, when they enacted a hilar ious satirical comedy entitled, “The Torch Bearers.” This play was not in the nature of a Shakespearean drama, as the name suggested, but was a clever and humorous take off on the various Little Theatre movements which have taken place all over the United States. One act in particular pictured the behind-the-stage happenings on the night of a Little Theatre perform ance, and showed what actually takes place when one of these plays is being given. McGILL COMPILES LIST OF LIBRARY DISTRACTIONS McGill University. — Statistics have been collected at McGill to determine what causes the most dis tractions in the library during study hours: Here are the results: three, howling of campus canines; 225 distractions caused from day dream ing; 96 caused from women enter ing the room or moving about; 41 distractions were caused from in terest displayed in the person sit ting opposite: talkative neighbors caused 87 distractions, and the li brary clock caused 24. UTAH SCHOOL SUFFERS FIRE IN GREEN HOUSE Utah Agricultural College.—A de fective chimney in the college green house caused the complet destruc tion of the wooden portion of that building by fire on the evening of December 20. Although a great ef fort was made by a crew of volun teer workers to extinguish the fire and save the plants, the building was lost and nearly all the' flowers were destroyed by the extreme cold. UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA WINS DECISION OVER OXFORD University of Oklahoma,—Uni versity debaters defeated the team from Oxford university by a de cision vote. More than 3,500 per sons, the largest crowd ever to gether in the auditorium, heard the debate and gave the decision by a rising vote. It was done “more for patriotism than anything else,” many of the audience said. WASHINGTON STATE TO GIVE EMBLEM TO STAFF MEMBERS Washington State College.—An official emblem will be awarded to students who have worked on the Evergreen staff for five semesters.

Tomorrow afternoon we arel giving a tea for our house moth er. Peg has planned to serve pineapple ice—the yellow and white will gjo with our dolor scheme. Since we have had the Kelvinator installed in our ice box it is a simple matter to make our own ices and frozen dishes. Sigwart Electric Co. gave us a book of recipes when we got the machine. The cook is very pleased with the way food may be kept for days with out spoiling. She declares it is going to be a great saving. iiniiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiKiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiniuiiuniiiinniiiiiiiiiiiiiiminiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiimiiDrnimiiimiiiiiiiiiiiimminnniiiii Do you remember all of the figs which we used to consume when we were in Arizona a couple of years ago?

Peg, who was with me, bought some rich, creamy choco lates there too. We are carrying out our dec orations for the tea in yellow and white. At Raup’s Floral Shop, where they carry a large assortment of spring flowers, we got some marvelous golden color ed daffodils and white fressias for the living room. Some of the girls gathered pussy willows which add a real spring-like at mosphere to the flowers. • * • inmminnimminiiiininitiinniininiinimifliiininniiiumnintiiniiitnniniiniiiiiitnuuimiiii’iiniiiiuHiiiimimmiiiiiiimimnT We have felt the need of a good look | mg sugar ana creamer for a long § | time.
