Teaching Democracy To Our Neighbors AMERICAN marines are estab lishing neutral zones in Nic aragua, the presidential spokesman firmly asserts that American rights in the southern republic are being violated, the president nods his ’head in affirmation, democratic con gressmen and a few insurgent re publicans charge that America is being inveigled into an unjust war, and other republicans, with their eyes on the 1928 presidential elec tion, remain silent, so it may not bo amiss if the college student, as pros pective cannon-fodder, turn his eyes toward a very unpleasant situation. At the risk of being reminded that we know little about the mat ter, that we are unpatriotic, that wo are foolish, and that the herald ed war is none of our business, wo venture the belief that our govern ment is pursuing anything but an honorable and just course. Wh:lo openly decrying imperial ism our “statesmen” almost as open ly push what appears to be as im perialistic a policy as might be de vised. “Protection of American in terests” has become a threadbare and unsatisfactory explanation that Van cover a multitude of question able motives. Certainly, if we are imperialists, we are pursuing a policy that is quite reasonable and to our advan tage. But why not admit if true, that such is our course, instead of continually reaffirming interest only in the protection of “lives and prop erty." If the whole truth were only told the situation would not be quite so unbearable. As matters now stand our 'govern ment seems intent on keeping its right hand from knowing what its left hand is doing. Recent history of Nicaragua indicates that the Diaz government does not exist by the will of the people. While it is undoubtedly of advantage to Amer ican aspirations that a man subject to the influence of our capital con trol the government of a strategical ly located country, such a policy is hardly compatible with out avowed but very dim interest in recognizing only governments representing the pleasure of the people. Not only do we refuse to recog nize Sae.asa, but on the excuse, for which there is no evident basis, that American citizens and property aro endangered, we send troops to hin der his operations. Gun-running from Mexico for the insurgent troops is halted, though our govern ment made no strenuous efforts to halt American gun-running to Mex ican revolutionaries during our southern neighbor’s many political uplieavels. On the grounds that Mexico is aiding the Nicaraguan revolters, we assume as firm a stand as the presi dential spokesman is able to muster for the president, and threaten Mex ico. Admittedly the recognition granted Saoasa by the Calles gov ernment was not in the way of en couragement to our governors. Then too, Mexico’s valiant attempts to establish a stable government by making “Mexico for Mexicans” has not been greatly relished by our ivonderfully flar-sighted diplomats and oil speculators. They Are Martyrs, Not Heroes DESPITE all the advantages cit ed in favor of the student who works his way through college, it is probably true that those who glorify the self-made student have never experienced his troubles. In the editorial, which is reprint ed below, from the MichigaA Daily, reference is made to a loan fund for deserving students, established at Dartmouth college by the student body. Considering the inadequacy of the University of Oregon’s fund and the increased demands made upon it, it might be well if the A. S. U. O. should follow the Dart mouth lead. Of working students in general the Michigan Daily says: It has long been the fanciful illusion of those who have never tried it, that working one’s way through college is a most excel lent discipline, a builder of char acter, and the means to an appre ciation of educational values. Now it is at last becoming rec ognized by the educational funda mentalists that such is not the case, that John Jones who earns every cent of his expenses is not the ideal student but a martyr, that the hours he puts in washing windows, cleaning furnaces, or clerking in a store, could far bet ter bo spent in study or recrea tion. Leisure is no longer thought of as something to be. avoided if the student would discipline him self for the rigors of after life. Especially encouraging is the step taken by Paleopitus, student government of Dartmouth, in meeting this problem. A sum of $10,000 has been set upon for a scholarship fund to furnish loans to worthy students. Our own Uni versity has such funds available. It will not bo very long before they will be available in nearly every college in the country. These efforts should be encouraged. Phil osophy, rhetoric, and physics do not go well with cleaning, clerk ing, and waiting table. College stu dents should be free to enjoy the leisure of their school life. It’s a certainty they won’t have any after they graduate. Solving a Mystery; A Message From Below ■pvISCOVERY by the Seven Seers of a new volume of Ambrose Bierce’s writings testifies to the genuiness of the columnists’ oc cult powers. The literary world will no doubt be stirred by news that “the great futilitarian,” who vanished many years ago and is thought to have died in Mexico, has not neglected his writings, even though he is no longer, we suppose, of this earth. Since the new volume is entitled “The Devil’s Dictionary,” it is easy to guess where Ambrose has taken up residence. \Ve hope the Seers’ latest contri bution to the advancement of the psychic will receive due recognition from Sir Oliver Lodge and the world at large. JL* Commun in' icatlons In Defense of Women To the Kditor: Wh;it chance has a man of get ting the bettor of a women in any quest ion pertaining to either so cial or intellectual welfare of so ciety f “yon know better than to get mixed up in any logomachy with a 'Woman; they always have their way and the final say in all things in spite of anything you say,” will, probably, be your reply. That may bo true but I can’t for the life of me keep from being in volved in a mix-up at this time though I am fully aware that my defeat is inevitable. If you rend the article in the Cur rent History, (for January 1927) entitled ‘‘Feminism is destructive to woman's happiness,” written by the daughter of Lombroao, fatuous criminologist, and wife of Ferrero the renowned historian, you will, possibly, be obliged to ask the lady with me if it is possible for men to live with love, alone? Here is what she intimates in her article. “Women today are suffering from lack of fixed objective’’. Woman’s objective according to her should be “to persuade man to love her outside and beyond the limits of the traditional point of view, outside and beyond the limits of virtue, outside and beyond consid eration of the services that she might render him and outside and beyond the senses, at the very time of their enjoyment.’’ If women are to achieve this ob jective, they must revert to the traditional morality of the middle ages, to which they were bound, to the severe repression to which they were trained. Back to those tradi tions which ancient civilizations imposed upon women, favored qual ities and habits necessary to enable women to attain the satisfaction of her deepest and most sacred in stincts, to permit her to have some one to love whom she could center all her life. “Man can be selfish for he does not depend on others for the satisfaction of his desires.” (quarter wanted). “Women can not be selfish, without being ready to serve others, to be useful to others one cannot excite desire as women wishes to excite it. ” Think of what would take place in all the American universities would the coeds followed her ad vise. They would drop their books and run for a man to center their lives on. And happy, indeed, would be the man who would find his way to the roof of some building before the grasping started, from where he could watch the coeds hanging on men’s necks telling them their alluring tales as to how much they love them and other things which Mjadaime Ferrero would prescribe. To be some what serious, however, one is inclined to ask Madame Fer revo if women have to be undevelop ed intellectually to possess the charm which a lady of Middle Ages possesses? Must women be unable to do anything else, when their hus bands come home from their busi ness, then hang on their husbands necks while they kneel in reverence of their idols? Do men in general desire to have for their wives wom en that are not able to carry on an intelligible conversation with them along the line of their interests be they industrial, academic or what not? Base not your assumption, Ma dame Ferrero on few cases indica tive of your theory, for then you will be committing a grosser error than that of your father’s. Forget not, we pray Madame Ferrero, that women of different nations, though they inlay be alike in their physical make up, differ quite radically in their ideas of charm, beauty and the like in proportion to the enlight ment of their nation. The men and women of whom you speak so highly died long ago to make room for ! generation, finer, freer, more con ! scioUH of its duties, perhaps, far more intelligent than that of which i you adore. Civilization is now* going ' forward madame will you not walk with it? Forget not, however, that man liveth not by love alone but with every sensible word and en couragement that proceedeth out of a wife’s mouth. C. LOUKAS. From Other Colleges University of Idaho—The second annual poultry short course to be offered by the college of agriculture will be held February 7 to March 5, it has been announced by R. T. Park hurst, head of the department of poultry husbandry. Registration is scheduled for Saturday, February 5, and the morning of February 7. The first poultry course, held last year, was such a definite success that the work has been given a per manent part in the college of agri culture program. Fifteen students attended last winter and a consider able gain in enrollment is in pros pect for the coming course. University of California—Football was the only sport to show a profit at the University of California dur ing 1026, according to a preliminary estimate made today by W. W. Monahan, general manager of the Associated Students. Although football earned $268, 070.61, every other sport on the list showed a deficit and the actual in come of the athletic department will probably be reduced to not more than $206,000. Athletics have long carried the burden of the unprofit able welfare, women’s, student union and miscellaneous activities, whose average annual loss of $66,000 is expected to further cut down the As sociated Students income to approx imately $140,000. The latter figure is still further depleted by pay ments due on the union building and the Memorial Stadium. -sift SEVEN JL SEERS SHE’S ONLY A GARBAGE I MAN’S DAUGHTER BUT SHE !
