Hail, Mussolini;
Be of Good Cheer
ITALY now has harmony,—prob
ably more than it ever has had
before. And how simply it has all
been brought about. A turn of Sig
nor Mussolini’s hand, and discord is
at an end. When anyone dares to
think openly, Mr. Mussolini turns
his hand again, and a littlo more
harmony is applied. What if Italy
is under a dictatorship; what if it
is a crime to disagree; what if
thought must bo standardized just
like machinery? Isn’t everything
quiet and harmonious? Everybody
agrees with 11 Duice, and II Duco is
right because II Duco has decreed
that he is right and serving the peo
ple’s “best interests,” and II Duce,
controlling opinion as he does, must
be right.
It’s a far throw from Romo to
Eugene. But now on the campus of
a university, a supposed center of
enlightenment from which will go
forth the tolerant and high-minded
citizens of the commonwealth, just
such “harmony” is being sought. It
is being asked at the price of repre
sentative government. An editor,
elected by the people, will be sub
ject only indirectly to these same
people, and directly to an appoin
tive censorship committee. He will
say, not what ho decrees to bo in
keeping with the best interests of
those who elected him, but what a
committee interprets as the best in
terests. Disagreement, honest crit
icism—conclusions openly arrived
at—all will be sacrificed to “har
mony,” as interpreted by a com
mittee.
What if truth and committee-in
terpreted harmony clash? Harmony
must reign. But oh what harmony!
harmony born of intolerance to new
ideas; of fear to stand by one’s
principles; of unwillingness to hear
the truth.
If Emerald editorial control
passes to the publications commit
tee, Oregon will have harmony.
But what price harmony?
Crowding the
Seven Seas
WE have just learned from a
more c less eminent author
ity, whose reputation for veracity
has, through some accident, re
mained thus far unshattered, that
so far this spring, the plans for
proposed student tours, floating uni
versities and itinerant institutions
of like nature number some 9,472.
Surprising, isn’t it, what an ap
palling lack of good old yankee in
itiative theso figures show. If some
one doesn’t do something, it is con
ceivable that there may bo some
students left in this country during
the summer season, thus depriving
the jelled generation of what might
have been for them a period of
long-hoped-for rest. Poor dears.
, Seriously speaking, the number of
i American students who have visited
I Europe is mounting to interesting
proportions. It is rapidly getting
j to the point where tlio question is
| not, “Have you ever been to Eur
I ope?”, but rather, “When were you
I in Europe?” If there is any effort
I during theso trips to establish per
I sonal contacts and friendships with
! foreigners, they will bo of an ob
viously incalculable value. If, how
ever, they are simply glorified sight
seeing trips (and it is evident that
some of them are), they are worse
than useless. Two days spent in
gaping at Shakespeare’s house or
wearing cork helmets in Singapore
(not that Singapore is in Europe) j
are even more wasteful than stay
ing at homo and going to summer
school. Tho big trouble is tlint
everybody does it. There is no orig
| inality.
| There are so many things in Eur
ope that no one ever seems to think
J of doing. Tn London, for install,ce,
there is 222 Baker street, the home
of the celebrated Sherlock Holmes.
Then there is Soho, the foreign
quarter that always figures so im
portantly in the mystery stories.
Soho is full of dives with myster
ious and sinister green baize doors
concealing Chinese torture cham
bers and the like. And in Paris,
there are the "Rue Morgue and the
sewers. Why do tourists never visit
the famous Paris sowers, to say
nothing of tho celebrated haunts of
the phantom of the opera?
No, we feel that Europe is being
done an injustice. Some Indepen
dent Undergraduate Maritime In
vestigation committeo ought to do
something in the way of curricular
reform on floating universities.

“Trifling Change”
To the Students:
In tlu> great commotion which
has been going on the last few days
over a trilling change in the consti
tution of the,A. S. l\ O. a few facts
have been lost sight of. They are
important enough, however, to bo
mentioned.
We were told in yesterday's is
sue of “The Emerald” that the
danger in passing the proposed
amendment “lies in the possible ex
ercise of a vicious power.” It is
highly improbable that at any time
would the whole committee consent
to the repression of anything whileh
is truly representative of the stu
dents and is for thoi>- best interests.
The members of the committee rep
resent a number of different inter
ests and different view points of
student affairs. Three members—
the alumni representative, the fac
ulty representative and the grad
uate manager—have been here a
number of years and through past
practical experience know thorough
!y what the disastrous results are of
unfamiliarity of an editor with all
the facts in a case. We are often
prone to forget that “The Emer
aid” is rend not only by tho stu
dents on the campus, but also by
people nil over the state whose only
knowledge of campus affairs is ob
tained from reading “The Emer
ald,” and if garbled accounts of
conditions here are given we are
judged from that alone. Against
this we should guard. An editor is
no more infallible than any of us
and it is entirely possible that he
may err sometimes in printing state
ments that may have an undesirable
effect on people off the campus. Xo
one questions the sincerity and dis
interestedness of the editors we
elect but to safeguard themselves
and ourselves against their errors
of judgment should hardly be a
measure to provoke so mulch resent
j ment and blinding statements of
I "gag iuh', suppression of criticism,”
etc., that we have heard lately.
1 quite agree with the eommun
i leant yesterday who stated that in
a thinking group such as a student
body of a university should be that
it is impossible to have everyone
agree on ono policy. In such a case
is it not more logical to suppose
that several representative people ,
of the student body are better able
to interpret the many different opin
ions of that student body than is
one man?
