STUDENT BODY
HEAD APPROVES
WALKER'S PLAN
Admittance of Student Body
Officials to Faculty Meet
ings is Advocated
Much Discussion is Given
Proposal; Students I n
Favor of New Plan
“You can quote me as being
heartily in favor of the motion of
Dean Walker suggesting the ad
mittance of three or four student
body officials to faculty meetings,
which is to bo voted upon soon,”
said Walter Malcolm, president of
Ihe Associated Students of the Uni
versity of Oregon, yesterday when
asked his opinion of the new plan.
At the last faculty meeting, Jan
uary 13, Dean Walker, dean of men,
gave notice of a motion to be put
before that body which would per
mit attendance at faculty meetings
of the student body president, the
editor of the Emerald, the secre
tary of the student body and the
women’s league president. Much
discussion has followed this pro
posal and students are much in
favor of the plan.
Benefits Outlined
“The benefits to bo gained by
such a practice,” continued Mal
colm “are many. It represents an
opportunity for students to see and
understand bettor the faculty point
of view. Many controversies como
up between faculty and students
which, in most eases could be ill
uminated by a better. understand
ing between them. This new op
portunity for students to attend
faculty meetings ought to eradicate
such difficulties.”
That allowing students to attend
faculty meetings will make possi
ble an expression of student atti
tude, not necessarily a vociferous
one, but some expression just the
same, is an important point brought
out by the student body president.
The proposed plan ought to re
sult in better cooperation between
faculty and students in all affairs
concerning the University, ho said.
In the student’s opinion he fools
that it is only reasonable that un
dergraduates should have the priv
ilege of knowing the motives for
faculty actions when those actions
vitally effect tlio studonts.
“Behind theso reasons, there is a
deeper and even more important
one,” said Malcolm. “It is a na
tural tendency of human nature to
do better work and tako more in
terest in thoso tilings in which ono
is actually playing a part. If the j
students felt, that they had just a
small part, even though it be infin
itesimal, in the teaching, course
making, and intellectual side of
college life, their interest would be
greater. If the faculty wishes to
increase this interest., in my opin
ion, it should act favorably on
Dean Walker's motion,”

ANDERSON SURPASSED ONLY
BY RUSSIANS, SAYS YOUNG
Artistic Spontaneity Exhibited by Author’s
“Dark Laughter Shows More Form
Works;
Sherwood Anderson, in my opin
ion, ranks foremost among the
writers of today, and is surpassed
by none except the Russians who
have had a more intense back
ground. He compares favorably
with Chekov and Dostovcsky, but
it is unjust to accuse him of imitat
ing them, because he had never read
any Russian literature until after
he had published the short stories
that drew the accusation.
There are four main points to
bring out in a charaterization of
Anderson. First, there is the dis
tinct separation of his life as an
advertiser and manufacture, and
this desire of his to indulge in
fancy, in play and adventure. Sec
ond, he is not avered to work, as
has been claimed. Ho dislikes put
ting all one’s energy to acquiring a
living, but believes that a business
that requires a man’s creative ab
ility is not all objoctional. Third,
Anderson’s own creat(ive ability
has kept pace with his maturity.
Jn his childhood and youth he told
wildly impossible tales, but as an
artist he keeps his fancy and day
dreaming along with reality. In
this Way he has a universal appeal,
for people actually do have this
desire for expression, realising,
sometimes, the futility of driving,
always driving to make money.
The fourth point to be brought
out is his literary style. My own
reaction to his stylo is that, from
a literary point of view, he has
very little appreciation of form. His
stories spring forth spontaneously;
he does very little planning of plot,
and even loss revision. This clement
of wholesale spontaneity is, by the
way, a good example of the uncon
scious creation of art. His latest
book, “Dark Laughter,” is better

written, because he is getting more
consciousness of form, and does not
sprawl as he, has hitherto.
“Many Marriages,” is, I believe,
a short story made long, and spoil
ed by this sprawling. It seems to
me an expansion of his short story,
“Out of Nothing into Nowhere,”
and to have gained little in the
retelling.
“Winesburg, Ohio,” a collection
of his short stories, will, I am sure,
outlast “Main Street,” because it
is nearer to life. While Lewis’
literary style is better, the insight
and understanding of people that
is a part of Anderson’s greatness,
does not equal “Winesburg, Ohio.”
Anderson has been called a neu
rotic, but his adaption of his day
dreams to reality shows rather cre
ative genius. It is unjust to accuse
him of pandering to sex and the
cheaper emotions of life; I believe
that he is genuinely frank, honest,
and sincere in everything he writes.
To realize this idea one must read
his autobiography, “The Story Tell
er’s Story.”
A most curious thing about Sher
wood Anderson is the fact that his
words arc so greatly influenced by
his reading the Bible. He likes the
Old Testament, and its literary
flare, best; the effect this has up
on his ideas, but especially his
words, can easily 'be seen.
Anderson’s life, as shown in his
autobiography, is most interesting
psychologically. As a child he lis
tened to the wonderful adventures

his father, a sign painter, related
of the Civil War. As he grew older
he and his father were rivals in
imaginative creation. He. went to
Chicago when a young “an and
joined a group of young artists and
writers, who influenced his early
writings by. their socialistic and
radical views. He did not start to
publish until long after he had Writ
ten much. He began to realize
early that he did not want to ex
press the views of the Chicago
group—in fact, we find this formal
revolt against society in no book
except “Marching Men.”
His next stories showed a break
ing away from this revolt. These
are the one’s for which he is most
noted. His early short stories had
little sale- and little effect upon his
reputation. He has had one book
of poems published, but he has
written many which he probably
will never be able to print.

FRESHMAN DEVELOPS
SPINAL MENINGITIS
Harold Moshberger, a freshman
whose home is in Woodbrun, is in
isolation at the infirmary where he
is being treated for spinal meningi
tis. Dr. Fred N. Miller stated last
night that while the disease in the
first stages progressed rapidly, a
slight response to the serum treat
ment has been noted. MosW>erger,
who became ill Thursday was
placed in the infirmary by I£. Mill
er who immediately suspend the
nature of the disease. m
Although it is highly inmrobable
that any more cases will ^develop,
those who recently came in, contact
with Moshberger have been iso
lated, and upon the slightest sus
picion, immediate steps will be
taken to stop further developments.
