New Educational
Plan Receives
National Praisje
American Association of
Professors to Print
System
—
That an active interest is being
taken in the new changes in the
University by ether colleges and
educational organizations, is witnes
sed by the fact that the American
Association of University Profes
sors is printing the outline of the
plan drawn up by the Oregon fac
ulty committee. These plans deal
with the honor system and junior
university plan which has been
adopted toy the Oregon faculty. Of
ficial recognition of this plan by
the association of professors was
received by Raymond D. Lawrence,
instructor in journalism, in a let
ter from H. W. Tyler, secretary of
the organization.
Since the problem is common to
many other institutions and num
erous faculties are studying it, the
association decided to print the
outline of the Oregon plan in the
official bulletin, which is circulated
among all the professors in the uni
versities of the United States.
The professors of the association
say that the only fault of the plan
is that the extra time necessary for
professors to allow had not been fig
ured in honor students. This, ac
cording to faculty members, was
foreseen.
Dr. George Rebec, dean of the
graduate school and chairman of
the committee on the new honor
system, Professor 0. F. Stafford,
head of the chemistry department
and ehairman of committee on the
junior college system, Eric W. Al
len, dean of the school of journal
ism, and Sol Abramson, editor of
the Emerald will make a trip to
Corvallis Thursday noon to address
the Triad club, which is composed
principally of the O. A. C. faculty.
Dr. Rebec and Professor Stafford
will outline the new scheme and
Abramson will present the stud
ent’s view point.
Sudden Popularity of
Rent Shelf Books at
Library Astounding
“Books, 'books,” cry the philos
ophers, “are man’s best friends.”
"Books, books,” drone the profes
sors, “are man’s best guides.”
“Books, books,” sing the students,
are man’s worst curse.” But there
are books and books, and the stu
dents’ curse has developed into a
mania for new novels and recent
literature of all kinds. It is difficult
to say whether this is from the evi
dent necessity of occupation of some
kind since the race is dry,^r from a
latent appreciation and desire for
the art of letters that is just rising
to the surface. The outcome is evi
dent from the sudden rush which is
sweeping from the shelves of the
rent library every new book the
minute it appears.
“The Capture,” by Edouard Bour
det, vanished into the pocket of
some large coat the day it first ap
peared fon the shelves. Another
new book of the year just placed
in the library is “Doomsday,” by
Warwick Deeping, which has re
ceived a similar fate; as have also
“The Government Inspector” and
other plays translated by Constance
Garnett from Gogol’s original; and
“Three American Plays” named,
“The First Night,” “The Bucan
neer” and “What Price Glory,” by
Maxwell Anderson and Laurance
Stallings.
New Books on China
Received by Library
China, the most interesting nation
in the world at the present time be
cause of the increasing interest it
is causing among world powers over
its international and home affairs,
has been the subject for two new
books which are in the University
library now.
“An Outline History of China,”
by Herbert Gowen and Josef F.
Hall, who are both professors of
Oriental language and literature at
the University of Washington, is
one of the most comprehensive his
tories of China that is available at
this time. The two authors have
taken this 7000 year old country
and presented its history in a field
of national drama and romance, in
cluding a thorough account of the
Republican Era as interpreted by
its historical perspective.
Another book, “China and the
Political Entity,” written by a
Chinese scholar of political and in
ternational law, Shuhsi Hsu, dis
cusses the relation of China to for
eign powers and to Korea, Man
churia, and Mongolia.
For a complete insight into the
economic, financial and political
fields of France, “The France of
Today,” by Sisley Huddleston, has
been placed on the shelf by the
library for those interested. The
book has an accompanying bit of
historj- that is, according to the
book review, “just enough to em
phasize” the above mentioned fields
which it embraces. ,

of such a campaign. This is espe
cially so when the campaign is be
ing conducted practically under the
auspices of the student personnel.
I think we all want to maintain the
intellectual and aesthetic ideal that
is interwoven with the fabric of
the college. Yet a stain will cer
tainly trickle into the fabric if we
suffer commercial invasion into cam
pus activities.
KENNETH WILSHIRE

To the Editor:
^.The Chinese “Puzzle,” like any
Wbvrinth, loses its uncanny aspects
when it has been attacked ration
ally by one, whose purpose is its
solution as a result of orderly and
systematic investigation.
Generally speaking, public opin
ion in the United States is not un
duly severe in its attitude toward
the Chinese as they face one of the
most significant periods of national
reconstruction known to history.
This same opinion is, however, sub
ject to being swayed by certain ,
forces, real or spurious, in the coun
try. \
Regardless of whether or not
there is a likelihood of military!
combat between the United States
and China (even if for no other pur
pose than to allow our military ma
chine to “air off”) the Chinese sit- j
uation is a weighty one. Considera
tion of the problem must far trans
cend that of an economic nature, al
though the outcome may turn upon
our economic policies. Above all,
the question is one of attitudes ex
isting in the minds of the Chinese,
and of citizens in .other nations,
which nations are likely to be af
fected by the outcome of the pres
ent confusion.

; concerned, student interest, emerg
l ing as a result of scientific studies,
may profoundly affect whatever con
ditions are to eventually lead to a
j solution of the problem. An editor
| ial in the Emerald recently ex
| pressed opinion relative to univer
j sity professors’ participation in
| such as the Chinqse question. Aside
[ from consideration of this aspect of
I assertion, student interest in the
J matter will be effective if widely
[ demonstrated.
University students today might
conceivably be capable of rendering
at very least a pseudo-dignified
opinion on such problems (or should
be) because of contact with those
phases of intellectual activity which
develop sound, scientific, and un
biased viewpoints. National anti
pathies of the past, founded on sen
suous interpretations of nationalis
tic prejudices, have led inevitably
to conflict, whereby rational con
sideration of the same questions
from a “sublimated” international
point of view might have averted
any disorder.
If we who have the opportunity
to assume a philosophical or sys
tematic point of view, whether or
not it concerns a political, social,
economic, or any other unit of or
ganization, cannot hold ourselves to
this objective level when confronted
with consideration of the Chinese
question, we had better fold our
hands, relax our minds, and go down
with the pessimists. In other words,
it is in student power to become
prominent in creating a public
mind which will meet the situation
squarely, free from emotion, preju
dice, or a desire to mobilize against
the Chinese for the mere purpose of
pecuniary benefit of a small'number
of manufacturers and merchants; or
for relieving the tension of “pro
gress” through indulgence in war.
No doubt the student as well as
the professor is duty-bound to throw
light on the situation, by endeavor
ing to accomplish through quantity
of opinion what the professor might
offer in quality of opinion.

“United We Stand”
To the Editor:
“United we stand, divided we
fall.” These words have rung in
the ears of every man, woman and
child who has read the records of
American history. The truth of
these words is proven by the fact
that we have today an organized
civilization which has astonished
the world with its rapid strides of
advancement.
Not only has this been proven in
the case of our nation and other na
tions; but in the case of every
branch of organization. People in
the every day walks of life, organ
ize, to gain the ends they wish to
attain.
This is true on onr college cam
puses as much as anywhere else;
we have our fraternities, our liter
ary and scholastic organizations,
which accomplish their purposes
very well, and this is indeed very
commendable. It makes for its mem
bers a well rounded education and
fits them to better meet the de
mands of later life.
But there is one class of student
who is greatly handicapped in ob
taining his just dues from his col
lege education, and that is the in
dependent student, who is not af
filiated with any organization.
A desirable movement is now un- ]
der way on the Oregon campus to
organize the independent student
and thus to give him the advan
tages which otherwise would not be
his. Similar groups of this kind
have been started on other campuses
and have proven to be an asset,
both to the student and the uni
versity as a whole.
By such an organization the great
er per cent of the students on the
campus will then be under some
form of organization, and by keen,
sincere co-operation among the va
rious groups can do much to make
a “greater Oregon.”—T. B. M.
Tomorrow’s News Yesterday
To the Editor:
As you are undoubtedly aware,
there hav^ appeared at various
times ■ in the Emerald throughout
the current school year reports pur
porting to write up certain law 1
school activities. The latest of
these was the “news item” which
pretended to write up the law school
petition for a drinking fountain on
the third floor of the Oregon build
ing. As a matter of fact no such
petition as reported has been pre
sented by the law school, or even
prepared; but being aware of the
prophetic propensities of the Em
erald, and its well known reputation
for reporting events before they
have actually occurred, we can now

do naught but present the anticipat
I ed petition in order that tho repu

| We will naturally appreciate ad
vance information of any action
taken by the faculty and will await
eagerly the news of the outcome
before we actually present our peti
tion.
Realizing the atrociousness of an
appetite for water, and the spec
tacular character of such a desire,
we pause to wonder why a special
edition of the Emerald was not put
out concerning the alleged petition,
rather than the mere allotment of
front page prominence, and we hum
bly suggest the relegation of fore
casting such seasonal depravities to
your talented corps of feature writ
ers. Perhaps our “aristocratic ten
dencies” explain our unheard of
craving for such a high class bever
age as Willamotte river aqua pura.
We concede that, such a radical
departure from the usual staid and
conservative policy of the campus
at large, and the journalism depart
ment in particular, as the danger

Said Goldilocks as she looked around the ho,me of the three
bears. Just then she spied three bowls of gruel on the table.
She tasted the first one, but that was too hot! She sipped
the second one, but that was too cold? Then she tried the
third one and that was just right so she ate it all up.
“Ummm,” she sighed contentedly after she had finished,
“Reminds me of restaurants I’ve been to. Those first two
ibowls. But the third bowl was just like the Peter Pan right
