More Emphasis
On the Weak
IT is not the Emerald’s usual pol
icy to bemoan the lack of ath
letic support, simply because, con
sidering our athletic system as a
whole, there is no such lack. We
are inclined rather to the belief
that there is a need for reorganiza
tion, with less emphasis on the
sports of professional color, and
more on those that still savor of the
intra-mural; that is, sports in which
a defeat does not take on tho pro
portions of national disaster.
For just this reason we deem it
unfortunate that the spring sports
-—tennis, baseball, and track—draw
few students. All three offer places
“to more men thnn do the more-em
phasized football and basketball,
and they have not yet been char
acterized by lihge gate receipts and
reams of newspaper publicity. This
in itself nitty be the explanation for
the waning interest in these spring
■ports; we hope not.
It is too evident that baseball,
track and tennis are now the van
ishing frontier of the best in col
lege sports. They do not demand
fine-edged professional skill, or at
least this is not of major import
ance; they do not rest entirely on
the support of a few stars who play
the games to the exclusion of all
other aspirants; they have not yet
been exploited by outsiders.
A little more interest in these
sports, subtracted from the exploit
ed sports, and an intra-mural ath
letic program would bo in tho di
rection, we believe, of a solution to
the difficult problem of intercol
legiate athletics, and tho overem
phasis that is rapidly depriving
them of any intrinsic value by driv
ing them into the professional and
business field.
Students of Abnormal
Psychology! Take One
PLANS for segregation of regis
trants are lacking, we find, in
one important detail. Unfortunate
ly, no provisions were made in the
recent legislation for a kindergar
ten. Where are we going to put the
vigilantes and the royalty of the
freshman court?
The court is still with us, issuing
summons and threatening to “deal
appropriately” with those who give
no heed to the orders of the sustain
ers of campus traditions. We won
der what these threatened “deal
ings” are. They might be imore se
vere than one would expect because
(if we may paraphrase Heywood
Broun’s comment on censors) “as
things are constituted, it is pretty
safe to assume that any given vigi
lante or freshman court retainer is
foolish. The very fact that he is a
vigilante or a courtier indicates
that.”
We have not yet heard expounded
the reasons why any self-appointed
court should take unto itself the
privilege of directing the conduct
of other persons, who by reason of
disregarding the court’s dictates
show higher mentality than the
judges.
Can anyone explain why those
who would have others be gentle
manly, themselves act like rowdies,
and employ strong-arm methods in
affairs that are none of their busi
ness? And what of the freshman’s
introduction to the cherished ideals
of higher education by paddling at
the hands of self-appointed censors
of student behavior, whose hallucin
ations have told them they are the
defenders of the holy truth?
Students of abnormal psychology
should find plenty of material for
speculation in the ridiculous stunts
of some of their contemporaries.
On the Death of
Dr. Ira Reinsert
'T'MK press was engaged on March
5 in telling what Congress,
which adjourned on the day preced
ing, failed to accomplish, which
probably explains why little or no
notice was given news of the death
on the samjo day of Dr. Ira E. Item
sen, noted scholar and former pres
ident. of Johns Hopkins university.
Dr. Remsen was one of the few
university heads who could be both
able scholar and capable administra
tor. A chemist of note, whose work
is well-known to many students, he
likewise achieved notable results in
consolidating the organization work
begun by his predecessor, Daniel C.
Gilman, first president of Johns
Hopkins.
Dr. Itemsen was of the passing
order of scholar-presidents.
Debate
(Continued from page one)
dictator, to which Boclier replied
that the dictator is only temporary
and the government is really a de
mocracy. But, retorted the affirma
tive speaker, it would seem, then,
that the democracy was fairly tem
porary, also.
Cross Questionings Made
Cross-questioning Freese of the
negative, Tavlor explained that, as
an instance of the failure of de
mocracy, the public did not know
the true facts in the Nicaraguan
situation because the information
was kept secret in Washington.
Asked how he obtained the informa
tion, Taylor said that it was sent
out by intelligence officers from
Washington. Then, retorted Freese,
it does not seem that the informa
tion was kept secret.
Because democracy performs the
necessary functions of government
better than any other form in the
world today, Becher in the nega
tive rebuttal speech, contended that
it is successful. The United States,
Kngland, and Switzerland are the
most successful democracies, and
they surpass all other countries in
eiiciemy of government, economics,
and education, he pointed out. The
mudern trend is toward democracy,
within the lust fifty years countries
have invariably adopted this form.
Taylor Advances Affirmative
Taylor, who gave the rebuttal
speech for the affirmative, advanced
as the basis of argument the fact
that democracy has failed because
it has not fulfilled its purpose of re
ducing bribery, corruption, and dis
simulation; that the American gov
ernment is not a successful democ
racy because the will of the people
is not final authority: that we do
not have justice, that the people
may remove off icials but doj not put
good men in their places; that it is
control of a few instead of the ma
jority; that it fails in crisis. The
ideal of democracy is government
by all the jibople, the principle is
rule bv a majority, and and the
practice is rule by a minority, Tay
lor said in conclusion,
Hugh K. liosson, assistant profes
sor of English and law, acted as
chairman of the debate. Dr. F. G.
Franklin, librarian at Willamette
University and former head of the
sociology department; Omar (\
Spencer, attorney of Portland; and
George Kochn, debate coach at Hoed
College, judged the debate, return
ing a decision for the negative.

The following story concerning
Professor Barnett is going the
rounds of the campus in the after
math of examinations.
It seems that just preceding ex
amination week Mr. Barnett was so
indisposed that he deemed it ad
visable to consult a doctor.
“You’re a pretty sick man, Pro
fessor. You should stay in bod for
a few days,” said the physician.
“Oh, but doctor, if I do that I
won’t be able to make out my exams
and then the whole class will pass.”

China
(Continued from page one)
been constantly attempting to end
this banditry; but backed by strong
armies recruited from among the
poverty-stricken masses the tuchuns
have continued to wage devastating
campaigns throughout the North in
order that they might secure the
booty with which to placate their
rabble. This is the “disorder” to
which foreign governments object.
Why have the people of the North
not put an end to this banditry?
Because the tuchuns have not al
lowed the people to possess arms
{ under the severest penalties.
Meanwhile interested foreign
j groups have financed the tuchuns
| (and have even persuaded their
i home governments to send militnry
support) whenever the Nationalist
I (Kuomintang) government endeav
ored to subdue them. In return the
foreign capitalists have been grant
; od new (and have kept their old-)
privileges gained under the unequal
! treaties which they have forced on
j China.
Thus Chang Tso-lin, in return for
j Japanese domination and oxploita
[ tion of Manchuria, has been niain
I tained in power as the head of the
Northern alliance of tuchuns. So
'■ too, until his recent defeat, was Wu
Pei-fu able to control the Ppper
Yangtze Valley for the British;
I while Sun Chuau-fnng, the ‘•de
fender” of Shanghai, was the Brit
ish-maintained overlord of the low
I er Yangtze.
Such are the reasons why peace to
which the Western Powers have
given lip service, has not returned
to China. Nor will peace prevail
