Summer Camp Will be Located In Wallowa Mts. Geologists to Do Field Work in Snake River And Mining Country Students to Exchange Theory for Practice Dr. "Warren D. Smith, head of the geology department, will take charge of the annual geology sum mer camp, which begins at the close of spring term and lasts for a ■month up into July. It will prob ably be located in the Wallowa mountains, but side trips will be made to the Snake River canyon and into the mining district of Baker. A short excursion to the large copper deposits in the upper Devil’s range of Idaho may pos sibly be taken. Practical Work Done This is the regular summer camjp required of all geology majors. It is possible for students to go several times since the camp is not station ery, but once is all that is necessary. The students do actual field work as contrasted to their class room lec tures. The field work gives them the maximum of practice and the minimum of theory while the lec tures reverse the process. The stu dents may perceive for themselves the things of which the text books tell. They observe actual conditions and study their geologic signifi cance. Sou* gain material which is later included in their master’s thesis. Advanced Students to Aid Only those who have had at least the general course in elemen tary geology are eligible. Several of the advanced students who have had previous summer camp experi ence will work with either Dr. E. L. Packard or Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, in their special fields of research. The size of the camp varies in number from eight to twelve. Since the professors must personally su pervise the student’s work more than a dozen seldom go. The stu dents attending the camp are charged a tuition fee. Dr. Packard lias had camps in the Ashland and John Day districts. Dr. Hodge had one last summer in the Three Sister’s region.

By CHRISTINE HOLT The basis of world peace is world friendship; until we understand and respect the cultures of other nations, until the races of the earth are able to rid themselves of the suspicions they have of one another, no Utopia of world peace need be expected. This was the expression of the gen eral feeling evidenced in regard to race prejudice by the students at tending the National Student Con ference held recently at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In considering the reasons for these prejudices among races, it is obvious that the American attitude of superiority has developed because of the lack of knowledge of other nations and races; when the light of knowledge hits upon our prejud ices, they vanish. We are leery of these things to which we are unac customed and we find it very much easier to scoff at that which is dif ferent or unfamiliar to us than to stop and understand it. Dr. Keinhold Neibuhr, one of the prominent speakers at the confer ence, said that our indifference to the problems of the day is one of the gravest difficulties of our mod ern civilization. We move on with all the smug indifference in the world, sure of our self righteousness and our superiority to other races. We have on our campus a number of students representing other na tions and races. How many of them do we knowf If we don’t know them why don’t we? They have mastered our language and learned our customs and there is much we could learn about their countries, culture, student thinking and the like. A great number of these are going back to be leaders in their own country, some in government, some in literature. The question is, are they taking back with them a to the students of the international politics class, taught by William P. Maddox, Tuesday. Mr. Barry has been on the campus for several days organizing students for summer tours in Europe.

Does our great demo cratic spirit of which we hear so much extend only to our own Amer icans or does it include the foreign men and women who come seeking to know more of our culture and of us? Although most of us will grant that this problem exists on our cam pus we are not alone in having such a question facing us. Vivid descrip tions were given by southern white and southern negro students of the problems which are to be found there. That race prejudice was de plored by the delegates was illus trated by an incident which hap | pened during the conference. A res i ~ — -- taurant refused to serve some of the negro delegates; thirty of the American white students who were there discovered it and signified their disapproval of such action by getting up and walking out. Mordecai Johnson, one of the prominent speakers on the program, declared that to follow true Chris tian principles and correlate our modern problems with the teaching of Jesus, we must give other races emancipation from the stigma of in feriority by granting equal oppor tunities to all. It is up to us to prove iby bonds of friendship that Kipling was mis taken when he wrote, “East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet.” It is time for us to crawl out of our shell which Growing Popularity — There ig always a splurge of enthusiasm for the new, but there must be something real back of the newness if this enthusi astic popularity is to last.
