’22, Mary Ellen Bailey Moore, ’23,
Eosalia Kober, ’24, and Norma Wil
son, ’25, have been among those
who spoke during their senior year.

Portland Telegram; Addison Ben
nett, late veteran feature writer of
the Oregonian; Elbert Bode, of the
Cottage Grove Sentinel; Claude In
galls, of the Corvallis Gazette
Times; Lloyd Spencer, of the Se
attle Post Intelligencer; E. B. Piper,
editor of the Oregonian; B. F. Ir
vine, of the Oregon Journal; and C.
C. Chapman, of the Oregon Voter,
have made the conference banquet
one of the anticipated events in
journalism throughout the state.

school »f journalism, has charge of

land S. Johnson is head of the down

which will start at fi o’clock sharp,

(Continued from page one)
no matter from what altitude or
what point of the compass a man
comes, ho always, in popular par
lance, “goes up” to Oxford, and
when ho loaves, he “goes down.” It
is needlees to say that the terms
“up” and “down” are of metaphy
sical rather than geographical sig
nineanco, and they were probably
first used in that nontext by an Ox
ford man himself.

Although this venerable tradition
of the English institution may not
be entirely applicable, as few tra
ditions are, today, it is still not
a very convincing argument as
to the functions of a university in
Ji reputed democracy such as the
■United States. Nor in like manner,
would we wish to apply Roustse.au V
theory of education of a child in
isolation from society to a group
of supposedly mature (men and
women. And yet, if we may use
the analogy of the University to
a child, it is precisely this isolation
from the outside world which the
'University is charged with keeping.
# * «■
That there is a tendency in the
opposite direction, namely, that of
the university establishing only a
partial separation rather than an
absolute divorce from the commun
ity and world, many educators
would not deny and the signs are
indeed hopeful. Moreover, the in
creasing interest with which men
and women everywhere are study
ing international affairs points to
a new realization of America’s po
sition within the society of nations.!
On the other hand, the most dis
couraging signs of political apathy,
come from the country at large,
such as the abstention from the
polls in 11)24 of approximately 50
per cent of the qualified voters—a:
figure which compares favorably
with almost every reputable demo
cratic system of government in the
world. True, these figures tell the
story of a year of unprecedented
commercial prosperity, and there
are few people who are sufficiently
far-sighted to bother about polities
when business is good. But, never
, theless, they tell a tale which in
itself is by no means satisfying.
• * *
What contributions the universe
ties will make to future society will
depend much on the character of the
training they offer. And while
there will always be a more or less
abrupt transition for people leav
ing a university, the institution is
fulfilling its proper function when it
can tone down the sharpness of the
change by discouraging the artifi
cialities of campus isolation.
And after all, few gamels and few
studies are more fascinating than
that of following the drama of
human events as they are daily un
folded. Life is seen in the making
—for the moment we are absorbed
in watching the actual processes of
the reforging and reshaping of
j life’s raw materials by sometimes
[inscrutable dymamic forces and the
I no more intelligible creative faculty
of human minds.
Varsity Swimmers
Face Club Mermen
Saturday Evening
The Oregon swimming team will
again defend its home waters against
an invader next Saturday night at
7:30, when they toe the tiles with
the Multnomah club fin/men from
Portland in a return match. The
Oregon team lost to Coach Cody’s
clubmen in the Rose City recently,
as did the O. A. C. water-splashers.
Bob Boggs, Oregon’s speedy free
stylist, is on the sick list with a bad
cold, and may not start. A close
race is expected when Bill Mc
Gregor and A1 Sinclair, the varsity
breast-strokers line up against Bob
McMath, the club ace.
Another water polo game rounds
out the program. The teams are
not yet certain, but may be picked
from two fraternity groups. All
who viewed this sport last Saturday
are enthusiastic, as it is crammed
full of action from whistle to
whistle, and is rough enough to suit
|lic most exacting. The frosh swim
mers beat the varsity six last week
in a red-hot battlo by four goals to
one.

Co-Ed Freedom
O f Americans
Found in China
Arnold, Consul, Says Old
Customs Give Way to
Tolerance
Our modern co-eds are not so ad
vanced as they think, if the views
on Chinese women given by Julean
Arnold, commercial attachee at Pe
king, China, are considered. Mr.
Arnold allowed ten minutes from his
two-hour visit Saturday for an in
terview with an Emerald reporter
at the Hotel Osburn, just prior to
the luncheon given in his honor by
Pan Xenia, international foreign
trade fraternity.
“Women students in China are
more active in demonstrations than
American co-eds,” Mr. Arnold de
clared, telling of the student pa
rades in which women carry ban
ners and posters and march with
the men.
American independence has spread
into China, and the women have
taken it seriously, Mr. Arnold
showed, in drawing a rapid picture
of the change taking place in the
marriage system. Today, he said,
each woman demands that she have
a previous understanding with the
young man in question before her
family “arranges” her marriage.
“Chinese women of good charac
ter are not suppressed,” he said,
“in fact, they almost go to the
other extreme in that the mother
of a family is the most important
member. She handles almost all
the affairs, has a good business
head, and theoretically, if not nom
inally, has control of the children
and, in many cases or ner nusDanu.
“Most people realize now that
stories told of the destruction of
girl babies are not true. Chinese
fathers are very fond of their chil
dren,” he declared, “and, to my
mind, spend more time with th^m
than most American fathers.
“Chinese men on the whole wear
their native costume, while wom
en’s clothes are modified from the
traditional dress. The women wear
little jackets, and pleated skirts.
Almost without exception, however,
they wear American shoes.
“In Shanghai and Peking,” Mr.
Arnold continued, “Chinese women
can always be seen dancing to Am
erican jazz. They are very cap
able, however, and many are em
ployed as heads of women’s hos
pitals, in schools, and in banks,
handling women clients.”
Mr. Arnold is one of the authors
of “Occidental Interpretations of
the Far-Eastern Problem,” recently
mentioned among the new books
soon to be published. Tlio book is
written by Julean Arnold, H. G. W.
Woodhead, C. B. E., and H. K.
Norton.
As Mr. Arnold was leaving his
room, he fumbled for the key hole.
Finally he opened the door to see
where to insert the key.
“I can’t get used to these Amer
ican doors,” .he exclaimed. “In the
Orient, all key holes are always
above the door knob, instead of
under it.”
