Don’t Blame the Band
For Our Own Mistakes
Because of an incident at the recent Oregon-Washington
basketball game when the band led a song, “To Hell With the
Huskies,’’ the bandmen have been the subject for more or less
criticism as indicated by a communication printed in today’s
columns. The Emerald would like to suggest that the blame
for the affair is being somewhat misplaced.
Those who contend that the song had no place in the cere
monies of the evening are correct in their contentions. The
University of Oregon counts the University of Washington
among its strongest friends; and surely no one can conjure any
reason for misrepresenting our true feelings by inviting the
northern neighbors to go to the haunts of the evil one. True
sportsmanship would dictate that such an invitation be not ex
tended to any athletic rival, friend or bitter enemy.
But why blame the band? That organization merely re
peated a song which has been sung for years and years and
years by nine-tenths of the student body—at least the male
portion. “To Hell, to Hell with Ag-ri-cul-ture!’’ has been one
of our national melodies as long as any of the present under
graduates can remember. And so, if the band carries on,
changing “agriculture” to “Huskies,” the Emerald fails to
see where the band boys have committed any grave error.
Their offense, if it has been one, has been merely an accurate
reflection of the attitude of the student body at la,*eb.
The habit should be changed; and judging from" the current
campus attitude, hot-place invitations will be heard no more.
But why not start reform at home instead of pointing accusing
fingers at those who Avere endeavoring to assist in the good
fun of the evening?
Concerning the Battle
Among the Musicians
The Emerald suggests that perhaps the Misses Hermina
Franz and Roberta Wright, who have contributed a very cap
able essay on musical criticism in today’s Emerald, have allowed
their enthusiasm to run a bit rampant when they reproach the
Emerald for its policy towards the unrestrained freedom en
joyed by its music critics. Their comment runs, “In closing
may we suggest to the editor that we and other music lovers
on the campus feel it a deplorable policy on the part of the
Emerald to give such a free reign to criticasters, especially in
the matter of visiting artists. It is not only presumptious but
it is in very poor taste.”
As pointed out in the Emerald last fall at the time of the
first Guild Hall plays, a signed criticism of any dramatic pro
duction or musical concert, represents but the opinion of one
person—the critic. It does not infer that any other person con
nected with the Emerald concurs in the least with the opinion
of the critic, who writes solely on the authority of his own
views and opinions.
To curb the expression of opinion of the critic would be
folly. Such a policy would inevitably lead to unadulterated
applesauce in all reviews, and would soon result in a condition
where no self respecting critic would allow his name to be
applied to such bunkum.
And after all, isn’t the present controversy beyond all hope
of solution? Mr. Chapman and his fair critics are disagreed
merely on the selection of the type of music played in the eve
ning. This is obviously a matter of taste, and would indicate
that the critic has not sinned in making his criticism, nor have
the critic’s critics sinned in questioning his opinion.

GODLESS ACTIVITIES
The Oregon Daily Emerald, in its
editorial ‘‘Much Ado About Noth
ing” which was reprinted recently
in the “ Editorials From Other
Hills” column of the Kansan, has 1
overlooked one of the greatest fund
amentals of a university education
in its blatant defense of activities.
It contends that those students who
aro the busiest participants almost
invariably maintain commendable
scholastic records.
There is no argument there. Otn
our own campus student leaders in
various activities make good enough
grades. They prepare alt compul
sory assignments, and attend classl
fairly consistently. By doing the
minimum of work that is required
<,hey manage to ‘‘get by” quite j
successfully.
But they have no time for the in
dividual research work that sug
gests itself in different courses. To
go more deeply into some phase of a
problem that has interested them
is out of the question. That medi
tation which is essential for the ul
timate assimilation lof knowledge
finds no place in their diurnal pro
gram. They find no leisure for com
paring, evaluating, and correlating
the hetrogeneouB mass of facts that
have crowded into their harassed!
minds from a number of classes.
Education is a life process that j
should not be terminated with col-;
lege. Interests should be aroused
nt this time which will persist ami,
be followed up in years to come.
Otherwise time spent in college will
be just so much time wasted, for
facts that are not fully assimilated I
and are stored away only until after
the next final have no permanent
value to the individual.
Those activities which ^promote
general activity have a legitimate
place on the campus so long as they
are subordinate to scholastic inter
ests. Rut when they reach the
jpoint of interfering with the inter
est or leisure of the student and
force him to forego that research
and rational thought and meditation
Vvhich constitute the very essence
of an education, they no longer
justify their existence.
' After all, a university can only
supply the raw material of thought,
and place the world’s knowledge
accessible to the student.—Univer

BY JIM
In just grousing over the march
of events we cajn’t find much to
discuss today. Besides, as a con
tinual diet facetiousness is as much
a bromide as a serious minded man
and we don’t want to make of this
column a bromide. So, we’ll look
over the journals and see what’s in
teresting. ,
Seventeen-year-old Princess Juli
ana of Holland is going to the uni
versity. Necessarily in Europe
that means to study something. So
she is going to study constitutional
and international law. She will
need them in her business someday.
* V *
Our princesses of the American
democracy, tens of thousands of
them, are going to the universities.
For most of them that means noth
ing in particular. They “take”
English, and French, and history
and botany, and if they “pass”
these they “take” some more things
next semester.
After a while if they have
“taketa” enough “hours,” they
[“graduate,” knowing more or less,
| if they have not forgotten it, about
|a good miany things in general, and
not much about anything in par
ticular.
A European would not call that
going to the university. He would
call it going to school.
Another college editor In the east
has been suspended for the usual
cause. There is a certain sort of
adolescent callow literary aspirant
who has only one standard of art,
and that can only be expressed in
what other people call salacious
ness—it sometimes becomes obscene.
We don’t know much about it
but it doesn’t sepm that such men
as Broccaccio and Balzac were un
der such inhibitions. Neither are
modern French decadents. Why
should they be held to taboos so
obsolete or archaic?
» * *
It seems to us it’s precisely be
cause the decencies of life are not
yet obsolete or archaic, even if some
of the old reserves are gone. It is
possible now to discuss some pretty
nude subjects that would once not
have been mentioned.
But he whose surge for literary
utteratace is confined to these things
is too morbid or immature to have
anything worth saying, even on
these.
But pshaw! The discussion is
drawing us into the ointment and
we have no intention of drowning
ourselves in profundity. Let it go
| by saying there are repressions
which are as important a part of
life as its expressions.
Might retract everything we said
today tomorrow, but none of it
! proves anything anyway, so—,
t hanks a lot.
Communications
i
I
To the Editor:
Mr. Chapman asks, “Should wo
vulgarize the arts?” It seems to
tis that he has entirely missed the
Jioint. Where was there any vul
garizing of art in Mr. KoehanskiV
concert? We wore of the opinion
.that true art was a transcribing of
the beautiful and aesthetical. Where-1
in did Mr. Koehanski depart from
this? We, too, are in favor of the'
highest standards of art possible,
but they will never be attained by ,
presenting to the mass such works
as they have insufficient back
ground to appreciate. To elevate
the standards of the University, the
students must be educated up to
the ideal.
In Mr. Chapman’s first article,
the headline reads, “Koehanski with
Stradivarius wins plaudits of stu
dents,” and the openipg sentence,]1
“The concert of Paul Kochanski at |
the Methodist church last night won ]
an ovation from the Oregon student
i body.” This he immediately fol
lows with the comment that" it was
disappointing. The inference from
these three statements is very plain.
In his secctnd communication, Mr.
Chapman says that it “was admit
] tedly an inferior program,” and,
■“Must there not be a great com
position, etc.” Isn’t it rather pre
sumptious to place the compositions
bf the finest composers of all time
,in a class labeled “inferior.” These
j composers are recognized by the
whole world as master craftsmen.
Bach’s mind is said to be the great
' fist ever applied to 'music. Mozart,
Saint-Saens, in fact, all of the com
posew on Kochapski’s program, are
renowned wherever good music is
I known. That the compositions were
: not what we would call pretentious
, does not alter the fact that they
] “ere very beautiful and in very
J fine musical taste.
I As to the last question Mr. Chap
hnan wishes answered, “Is the judg
ment of an artistic creation to be
i by the counting of noses, etc.,” let
jus quote a recognized musical au
thority, Thomas Whitney Surelle:
“American composers for the last
25 years have been struggling
against a lack of real understand
ing on the part of the public * *' *
Oujs is largely a transplanted art
It is significant that the
melodies of the great composers are
being bodily transferred into some
of our popular dance music. It is
obvious that all great art. rests on
some common consciousness * * * *
We need a good school of popular
music before we can have one of
a higher kind and we seem to be
gradually approaching the former.”
In closing, may we suggest to the
'editor that we and other music
lovers on the campus feel it a de
plorable policy on the part of the
Emerald to give such a free rein to
•criticasters; especially in the mat
ter of visiting artists. It is not
only presumptious, but it is in very
■poor taste.
Sincerely,
HEBMINA FBANZ.
ROBERTA WRIGHT.
To the Editor:
When any of my personal com
petitors invite me to “go to hell,”
I consider it as a personal insult.
It might be all right from a friend,
but certainly not from a competi
tor. However, here at Oregon such
is considered institutionally the
proper thing. Do all our neighbors
think likewise? None of them ever
retaliate in a like manner because
the reflection would be, not on us,
but on their own mental age.
As it seems to me, our illustrious
band insulted the Washington team
by this means during a “time out”
period last Saturday night.
I challenge anyone to name an
other college or better prep school
where anything quite as infantile,
raw, and insulting gets by with the
student body.

American Woman, Technic
ally British, in Quandary
Mrs. J. Bishop Tingle Yet Un
able to Get Passport Abroad
Although she was born an Am
erican citizen and has lived in the
United States the greater part of
her life, Mrs. J. Bishop Tingle, s
sister-in-law of Miss Lilian Tingle,
head of the department of house'
hold arts, has been unable to ob
tain a passport to permit her to
go abroad this spring.
Mrs. Tangle’s husband was an
English citizen and head of the
chemistry department at the Uni
versity of Toronto. After his
death, she returned to America, but
because she married before the law
was passed that gave American
women the right to retain their cit
izenship while residing in Ameri
ca after marrying a foreigner, she
will now have to register as an alien
and secure a British passport on
which to sail. If she wished to
return to this country it would be
necessary for her to pay a head tax
and possbily to go to Ellis Island,
coming in on the English quota.
Mrs. Tingle stated yesterday that
it would be two weeks before she
would reach a definite decision as
to what to do.
The party with whom Mrs. Tingle
had planned to go abroad included
her cousin, Dr. Capps, who is a pro
fessor at Princeton and president of
Friends of Greece, an organization
aiding Greek refugees.
PAINTINGS OF CHRIST
TO AMPLIFY LECTURE
Preparation is being made on his
lecture “The Face of Christ” by
Prof. Frederich S. Dunn, head of
the Latin department, to be given
under the auspices of the Extension
department. Mr. Dunn has receiv
ed permission to select pictures
from which to make slides.
The lecture will be treated from
several different standpoints ac
cording to Mr. Dunn, including the
development of iconography from
the earliest instances of its occur
rences and the authenticity of the
subject, and whether we have any
authentic pictures of Christ and if
we can rely upon the familiar le
gendary ones as being true.
