Changing Attitude
In the Colleges
PERIIArs the most hopeful phase
of the educational problem to
day, particularly as it concerns the
universities and colleges, is the
growing interest of the students in
their own education.
The passive interest may have ex
isted long ago, but it is only within
the last few years that the students
have actively entered into an exam
ination of university machinery.
They have done this critically, sin
cerely, and in a manner that has
evidenced a changing attitude to
ward tho ends of higher education.
In great part this indicates a
revolt against mass educational
methods, but in addition it repre
sents a revival (not yet widespread,
it is true) of belief in tho validity
of scholarship and in the worth of
learning as something more than an
investment bearing immediate fi
nancial fruit.
The universities themselves are
not deaf to the suggestions of their
students, and somo measure of suc
cess, in the way of curricular re
forms, is rewarding the efforts of
these students who have actively
participated in their education. The
interesting chapter that is now be
ing written in the history of Amer
ican education probably will soon
record evidences of this movement
in every part of the land. Already
there is widespread reaction against
uncontrolled registration and uni
formity of educational methods.
In several institutions important
changes in the educational machin
ery—changes designed to eliminate
the unfit and to increase the oppor
tunities for individual development
among the fit—have resulted from
student agitation.
During the past few months sim
ilar changes have been made at Ore
gon as the direct result of a student
movement begun just a year ago.
The faculty legislation that gave of
ficial sanction to these changes was
not the end, however. It was only
a beginning and at the beginning
we now stand.
Nothing that is done to put these
new plans into effect, nothing that
the faculty committees appointed
for this purpose suggest, will be
worth anything unless the students
themselves show a desire for tho
new opportunities. No matter how
well the plan is worked out on
paper, it will fail miserably unless
the students are willing to lake hold
of the advantages offered by these
changes advantages in developing
according to one’s own bent rather
than in the all-university mould.
Just how this interest can be
aroused we do not know. That rests
with the students themselves. The
coldness with which the proposals
were first met was due, perhaps, to
a feeling that the suggested changes
were a purely local phenomenon
hatched by a few freakish minds.
On the contrary, the phenomenon, if
it be that, is national in scope, and
the local manifestations part of a
widespread changing attitude. The
form this movement is taking and
the extent of its activity will be in
dicated in two articles written by
a member of the Emerald staff. The
first will be published tomorrow.
It is our hope that the students
will seriously consider these articles,
which can only sketch the changing
college attitude, in the light of the
local situation. They will indicate,
we believe, that the opportunities
presented in the changes recently
adopted here should not be lightly
disregarded. They mark our way out
of the intellectual wilderness.
Habitability to Be
A Suppressed Desire
f I ''IIE new ruling that university
women cannot live in apart
ments unchaperoned will bo diffi
cult to enforce. In fact, certain ex
ceptions will probably have to be
made as a matter of common justico.
After all, the girls must live some
place and there is not room for all
of them in the residence halls and
rooming houses. Apartments havo
proved a cheap and practical solu
tion of the living problem that must
be mot by unaflfiliated women. Abol
ishment of them will work a hard
ship on a number of deserving, re
sponsible peoplo who are working
their way through school. The stip
ulation concerning chaperonage will
cause trouble. Congenial chaper
ones are more not than often.
It is likely that apartment priv
ileges have been abused during the
past year or two. No doubt a num
ber of persons havo proved them
selves irresponsible and unused to
extra freedom. Without some def
inite ruling to point to, tho admin
istration has probably found it dif
ficult to refuse the demands of stu
dents and their parents that they
lie given a chance to try apartment
life. An official university regula
tion will probably be of consider
able aid to the dean of women’s of
fice in saying a forceful “no” to the
demand of some youngster who
shows little indication of sufficient
responsibility, yet who is backed
by parental consent and the know
ledge that others are doing it.
Nevertheless, if the rule is en
forced too strictly it will be bound
to work injustice and hardship on a
number of very worthy students.—

Commun
ications
Universities and the Public
To the Editor:
Criticism is always personal, and
conditioned by personal interests,
because the individual thinks, feels
and acts as an individual. If a per
son comes to represent any consid
erable section of the public, he does
so because they think and feel and
act as he does concerning that par
ticular thing. Their interests are
similnr.
Public institutions, such as a uni
versity, exist for the purpose of
serving the public. If there is a
widespread and continued criticism
of an institution, there must be
something wrong with the kind of
service that it is rendering,—or
perhaps in the kind of service that
is expected of it. The whole subject
will boar investigation and analy
sis. The taxpayers have a right to
protest when they feel ,their money
is being wasted. Edueational insti
tutions have a right to protect
themselves from unjust criticism.
One cause of prevailing criticism
of higher education is that the in
dividuals who make up that inyster
ions and sometimes menacing thing
called public opinion, never suspect
that educational institutions are in
a very real sense their own handi
work and that they are managed
within limits and demands that the
public has made upon them.
The American ideals of materia'
success as exemplified -by the Amor
ican Magazine, catering to out
"Everybody can be President’
idea, have demanded of universities
that they abandon a purely profes
sional and cultural program, and fit
every one who comes within theii
doors, to become bank presidents
expert accountants, publicity ex
ports, as well as successful lawyers

SEERS
Ever since the Mortar Board and
Friars put on their farce at the
campus luncheon last week every
one has been expecting us to give
the thing a razzing in the column.
Well, we’ve had our eyes open and
our ears to the ground, and we’ve
found out quite a few things.
• * *
But what’s the use. Everyone al
ready realizes what big Jokes the
members made out of themselves,
and how absurd and ridiculous the
whole matter of choosing the best!
all-round men and women on the
campus turned out. Much could be
written upon the Theta-Pi Phi com
bine for getting in their girls and
keeping out those of rival soror
ities. Also, the petty politics to
which the fraternities resort for
choosing and blackballing this man
and that.
• * *
But who cares after all? Such
things are but a bit of life, and how
many things that take place are as
they really should be?

FACULTY NOTES
HERBERT C. HOWE spent the
10 o’clock hour discussing campus
politics instead of devoting the time
to the study of literature as is the
usual order in survey class. (Ed.
Note. Herbert C. Howe was demot
ed from the head of the English de
partment two years ago by our
board of regents. At the time stu
dent opinion ran high and much sym
pathy was expressed.) Well, the
only comment I have is that when
a professor becomes so hard up that
he dabbles in petty campus politics,
why perhaps the board of regents
knew what they were doing after
all.

He was luckiest by far;
He never had to hike for gas

Howe E. Greaves, Springfield mo

Greaves is naturally sort of kind

eyed theater goers came to him and
protested against paying regular ad
mission because they could only see
half as much as the others why he
gave in. Now, by gosh, Howe has
discovered that one-eyed people stay
in the show twice as long. Oh, heav
ens, ain’t they no jeetice?

There is only one Orange-Crush
—always in the Krinkly Bottle
Heigh-ho ^
here’s unexpected thrill!
The delight of Orange-Crush is this—it in
stantly gives true refreshment.
Made from real oranges—with real orange
juice—it provides more energy-replace
ment value, or Food Calories, than an
ial t
equal quantity of fresh ripe oranges.
Here’s why Orange-Crush is so completely
in a class by itself: To the juice of luscious
oranges is added the delicate flavor of their
peel, the zestful tang of the fruit acid found
in oranges, lemons and limes, a pure food
color such as you use in your cakes and
candies, healthful carbonated water, pure
cane sugar, and nothing else.
Always ask for Orange-Crush by name—
and accept it only in the Krinkly Bottle.
