A Friendly Critic Reises Objections THE Eugene Guard’s editorial, reprinted in this column, is an interesting and studied opinion, rep resenting a view in some ^fays op posite from that taken by the stu dent committee. The editor, however, seems to have read into the report. certain interpretations which are quite foreign to the intent of the group. It. is recognized that some of the propositions in the report to which he has. raised objections lend them selves to popular misinterpretations. In order to clarify the issue and not in any spirit of controversy, the committee intends to elaborate "hoBe points in an early addition to ts original report. The essence of the Guard’s edi torial follows: A student committee at the Uni versity of Oregon which quite frankly declares itself self-con stituted has just announced through the Emerald, the excel lent college daily, first results of a detailed study in which it is engaged of the “intellectual state of the undergraduate body on this rumpus.” Tho present survey con stitutes a following out of a sim ilar effort set under 'jiray last year by another student commit tee, whose findings when published attracted nation-wide attention. The basic, attitude of this com mittee, as of the one last year, is critical, both of the majority stu dent outlook upon the college and its opportunities and of the uni versity system, which the commit tee charges favors in its essential composition and operation tho least desirable of threo classes of student registrants into which the committee classifies tho stu- ! dent body. The first, of these three classes the committee denominates as stu dents. It distinguishes a student from the members of the other two classes of registrants, which together make up the body of non students, and further classifies i him as one who gives himself to learning for its benefits, while a non-student in university life is one who lends himself to educa tion for its profits. The registrant of a second class is denominated a studier. The registrant of the third class is denominated a pupil and is do- , fined us one whose purpose in at- I tending college is merely by hook ■ or crook to win the label of “col lege man.” lie is merely out to get the marks that will give him » degree. He is not concerned with the benefits of learning, but solely with the outward rewards j of prescribed and enforced per- ' formanee in study. His attitude towards what he is undergoing is characterized as essentially that of a pupil in public school. After having thus completed its tabor of classification of students to its own satisfaction, the com mittee proceeds to the conclusion that the present university system favors the pupil type of registrant to the detriment of the student. The commitfee thinks that in socking a wa. of correction, the tag farce comedy adaptation of the John Kmerson-Anita Loos’ hilarious stage success, with Edward Horton, Virginia Lee Corbin, Otis Harlan, fundamental problem is "one of providing the student with time, freedom and indulgence to pursue a more or less independent, but still directed education.” A common trait with youth is that it chafes under restraint and direction and is inclined to seek more freedom than is good for it. And direction that seems to youth to be onerous is not always so in the view of maturer and therefore sounder judgment. The report seems to go further towards sub stantiating the contention that the present system makes it pos sible for the majority among the student body to accomplish their purposes in the university than it does towards showing that the superior minority are hampered by that system. In fact there is no showing that the minority is so hampered. Certainly the re straints of the scholastic require ments and marking system do not operate to prevent super-intel lectual offorts by those who de sire to exert them. The aim of a state university is to furnish fa cilities to all qualified applicants. A state university is not and never can be maintained for the benefit of super-intellectuals. And it is no discredit to a student that he educates himself with the purpose of applying his education to prac tical after-life. Nevertheless, the first report of the present student committee shows much of considered thought and logical deliberation, and it constitutes a valuable contribu tion, as well as one highly inter esting. By the way, why are women students not represented on the committee? Hasty and Faulty S penalization (Minnesota Daily) EARLY specialization by the col lege man is, it seems to us, be ing worshipped far beyond its des erts. It is encouraging to discover that President Rightmire of Ohio State has attempted to dissuade the students of this institution from choosing their vocations until they have had at least two years of gen eral collegiate work. One of the lirst questions asked of a college man is “What are you specializing in?” Sometimes this query is a simple matter of polite interest; too often it is the prelude to advice to select, a vocation as soon ns possible and commence stu dying for it. The business or professional man, his own selection far behind him, remembers merely that he spent much time with study courses he apparently makes no use of now. Ho forgets the perplexity of the situa tion which faced him as it faces the undecided student he now ad vises. If a college man is firmly decided upon the branch of work he mil take up, specialization from matric ulation onward is exported. The vast majority are not so situated. The matter is to them a very grave and ponderous problem; their whole happiness and success may depend upon it. To advise a student to settle that problem definitely before he has fairly found himself, before he has ascertained with some degree of certainty his own tastes and tal ents, is to advise unwisely if not foolishly. College is expected to do many things for college students. Cer tainly it ought to serve first and foremost as a vehicle of orientation. Ikdores del Rio and an all-comedian cast, in a rollicking comedy filled to overflowing with laughs and sur prises that rocked New York till its sides ached and hailed by the critics as “even funnier than ‘Poker Paces;’” also: the second of “The Collegians," those delightful com edies of college life; Sharkey Moore and the Merry-Macks in “A Spanish Omelet,” featuring “In a Little Spanish Town,” tonight at 7:2f> and Quite often we are told that col lege students become selfish anc hare no tolerance for the things anc | people they do not like. I surely d< j not believe this true. For the pas1 ! three years there has never been a musical program at the assembly a1 which “The World Is Waiting Foa The Sunrise’’ has not been played and yet the audience always sits ' through it. ♦ * » I MOST of THE steam THAT comes UP through the j RADIATORS on these , FRIGID mornings \ j SEEMS to be COLD. * * • The librarians report that on rainy days students flock inside and stay there more than on other days.

Nell of Sharkfcooth Shoal was leading yells and Pan MeGrew was in the stands when the team from the Aluetian Isles eauie on the floor. Both teams warmed up. The icicles were swept off. The wistle blew and an instant later the snow ball was in action. Suddenly the igloo was thrown in to confusion. Some one sitting un der the bleachers had lit a cigar ette and melted a support, causing the collapse of that entire section.

This ruling, which goes into ef fect at once, will make it compul-! sory that the unlucky person will have to petition the committee, stat-! ing how and where the ticket was lost or stolen. If the committee grants the peti tion the ticket may be obtained at the end of 15 days for the nominal i sum of one dollar, j Fall term tickets are good for campus activities until January 29, after which only winter term cards will be accepted, according to Jack Benefiel. Next year a booklet with num bered coupons will be'issued instead of the tickets. These coupons will be detachable and will afford a means of tracing lost books. • Library Gets New Shipment of Books Including Travel, Etc.

Wadsworth’s Powerful, Inspiring Voice —clear, expressive, it has the quality which creates confidence NEW YORK’S Senior Senator, noted fqr a speaking voice of rare impressiveness, safeguards his throat con stantly, so as to be ever ready for a debate or a speech. His favorite cigarettes are Lucky Strikes, both for greater pleas ure and throat protection. Lucky Strikes have become the favorites of men whose priceless voices thrill their audiences, as they have w’ith the millions because, first, they afford greater enjoyment and second, they are certain not to irritate even the most sensi tive throat. The world’s finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, prop erly aged, perfectly blended, give them their richer flavor. But in addition, a costly extra process—toasting for 45 minutes—develops the hidden flavors of the choicest to baccos and at the same time removes all “bite” and harshness. Smoke Lucky Strikes. They give added pleasure—you’ll like them. “It’s toasted" Your Throat Protection
