Knowledge is power? | Above all else, knowledge is | Love.—John Davidson. Examining the Chinese Viewpoint A sympathetic understanding of the Chinese' viewpo'nt^-rath er than patriotic rallies—is the most evident American need in the matter of the Chinese civil war. While numerous organizations, including student groups and en tire student bodies, are passing res olutions calling for withdrawal of American troops from the Far East, more soldiers are being order ed to the war zone and war feeling is receiving an impetus more than mildly reminiscent of 1917. Screeching newspaper headlines tell of American deaths at the hand of Chinese, while later editions deny these same reports, not in flaring banners but under small heads. Save for a few newspapers and the liberal magazines, only one side of the story is being told. Per haps the explanation of the Amer ican interest was made known, in advertently, of course, when a news dispatch naively related a few days ago that (this is paraphrased) “American battleships are tied up at the Standard Oil company and Dollar Line docks protecting Amer ican property.” Despite the pros and cons, de pending on one’s own prejudices, i it must be puzzling to thinking per- | sons to meditate on the contrast be tween America’s much-advertised “friendly and helpful” attitude to ward China, formulated while that country was still safe for foreign imperialists, and the landing of armed troops as soon as anti-im perialists come into the ascendency. In the belief that the Chinese na tionalists deserve a hearing, the j Emerald is publishing a series of i four articles, beginning today, pre- . pared by representatives of 400 Chinese students in New York and I addressed to American students,! explaining the views of those who j believe China should be made safe for Chinese. These articles may not solve in the readers' minds the problems of tariff autonomy, relinquishment of extraterritorial rights and abolish ment of foreign concessions, but they should serve at least to leav en the one-sided accounts that are receiving undeserved prominence. Onr Educational Bally hoos THE University, recently shorn of its requested building funds and almost simultaneously commit ted to a program that is expected to raise the standard of scholar ship, at the same time somewhat reducing registration by a process af elimination, will no doubt be ielighted to hear of the valiant stu dent solicitation work carried on luring the recent holidays by the 3reater Oregon committee. In keeping with the best ap proved methods, our committee is seeing to it that there will be no shortage of students on the campus. Mot only that, but it insures for the institution the elite of the high schools,—that is the brawny elite. It has always seemed somewhat momalous to us that a University should need go out after students much the same way as hawkers stand in front of cheap clothing stores to drag in unwary customers. Peculiar indeed that students who are interested in attending a uni versity should need solicitation. We need someone to tell them of the existence of the University, we sup pose, or at least to make up their minds for them after they have de cided to go to college. Somehow, we can’t help thinking that persons who will permit booster commit tees to talk them into attending a particular institution, aren't so very desirable. Isn’t it time the Greater Oregon committee, as an institution, be in terred forever? If the University cannot attract students by its standard of work, or, aye, even by its athletic pjowess (which of course should come first!, we might as well rent out our buildings as gad get factories and set ourselves up in the peanut-stand business. Yet herein lies our salvation. The Greater Oregon committee can promise its victims anything to in veigle them here, but glory be, it cannot promise them certainty of t prm ro. A Good Job for Consecrated Leaders DON R. MELLETT, lamented ed itor who met death at the hands of gangsters last year, is now being remembered as the crusad ing editor of the University of In diana Daily Student in 1910, His great feat lay in his having forced the city to adopt a new wa ter supply system, but only after a long and hard struggle, during which he was threatened with dire reprisals. He urged the University to move away if city officials took no action—and he won. So now, as we look forward to a spring term and a dry mill-race, it might be well to follow Mellett's lead and threaten to remove the University to Portland unless the city puts the race in the raceway. Considering what eventually happened to Don Mellett. we are not greatly concerned ourselves. But it’s a job for some one; any one—except us. Millrac* (Continual from potto one) startl'd nt once, part of it may be destroyed while the river is yet high. Despite the sad fate of all the old parking plaees, which are now up in the air, Mr. Bayly announces that canoeing seems as popular as ever. No mighty current is to be encount ered on the way up to the portage. From there one ran easily reach the river. Just what effect all this will have on the canoe fete for Junior week end has not yet been determined The committee hopes to be able tem porarily to dam the stream if per manent repairs cannot be made In then, according to Herbert Socol ofsky, chairman. Unless the water is deeper than at present, he doubts the portability of holding the fete. The elaborate plans made bv the physical education department for canoeing as a women’s sport this spring have been entirely upset. Six new paddles just purchased have alrendv been returned. The course was to have been given for credit the first time in history. Plans had I been made for six canoes, which would have enabled IS girls to take the course. There will probably be I races open to those who wish to : enter for the fun. Golf has been substituted for college credit. Keeping the campus green may prove quite a task if something isn’t i done before summer, for the mill race is the source of the water for sprinkling purposes. Sympathy must be extended to the profs who have anticipated a closed race for spring study. There's yet little danger of much concen tration. ♦ -- Hiking ('Ink Organized During Spring Vacation Tilt' Saturday Hiking club, organ ized during the vacation by men I who could not return to their homes, | began with a hike to Baldy moun* i tain last week. The hike was at j tended by 26 men. under the super ' vision of Rev. II. \Y. Davis, director of Christian work on the campus. I The club is planning to have at ■ least two, and, if possible, more J hikes during the spring term, it is reported. Tk SEVEN * SEERS BACK AGAIN! LOOKING AT THE WORLD THROUGH DR.

It it impossible to compre hend the adversity of the conditions and of course some of the adverse conditions were much more adverse than others.

Camp Cookers Lucky; To Picnic This Term Two more camp cooking classes have been arranged by Lilian Tingle to satisfy the heavy demand for the course. Tuesdays and Thurs days at 8:00, 10:00, or 1:00 are the hours now scheduled. More women than men enrolled yesterday, although the masculine force promises to be by no means weak. Students will bo allowed to take the course at a different hour on Tuesday than on Thursday in cases where the time schedule con flicts. This will enable almost any one who wishes the course to ar range for it. Open air practice-—picnics, in other words—will be arranged if possible; and Miss Tingle hopes they may be. She is trying to keep the sections small enough to have some laboratory work. The courses in care of children and historic decoration, which are given only in the spring, also show a heavy enrollment.
