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,

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.

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.

teer workers to extinguish the fire

“Blue eyes, and dark hair—

At least that’s the way I feel

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.

Do you remember all of the
figs which we used to consume
when we were in Arizona a
couple of years ago? And how
we said that we would never care
for any again? ;jl i;trtaly had
thought that I wouldn’t, but at
Underwood and Elliott’s Gro
cery I got some fancy pack Blue
Ribbon figs that are as delicious
as the fresh ones we had down
there. 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.
