4Who Was Responsible?
Echo Answers ‘Who?’
'O'KSTKRUAY the Kmerald tossei
• a, few straws to the breeze—!
series of figures iii nil attempt ti
plaee (tie responsibility for the ean
collation of Kirby . Pago’s Icetun
scheduled for tlie O. H. C. eumpu:
Inst Monday. The drift of tliesi
straws indicated that the direotioi
of the chilly draught which frosw
out the luncheon party implicate!
the O. S. C. military hierarchy ol
nineteen under Colonid Moses, ini
portaht factor on the convocation
committee.
Students on the neighboring cam
pus are becoming interested in tin
official sleight-of-liand as a lettci
to the editor of the Barometer from
J. S. II. attests:
“How long will this pressure ex
ercised by those endorsing inilitar
ism result in the dictation to the
students as to what information they
shall be allowed to have? It is
high time wo woke up to the. cir
cumstances. Who was responsible
for the cancellation of the lunch
eon?”
In its editorial response, the Bar
ometer is disposed to accept the of
ficial invasion of student rights
philosophically, or perhaps, stoically.
The editor comments:
“Granting that the principle was
wrong and not seeking in any way
to excuse the affair, the Barometer
wishes to point out to its readers
. . . as a matter of fact, the stu
dents were really not deprived of a
great deal by the cancellation of
the meeting . .
Perhftps many will calmly receive
this .judgment on the editor’s say
so. But probably many more will
consider themselves tile victims of
an autocratic officialdom. .For they
have been denied the fundamental
right to the other side of the ques
tion which would have been their’s,
according to the Barometer, “in a
calm, unimpassioned, and carefully
delivered address . . .,” had it.
not been for the intervention of
President Kerr.
“And then, too,” the editor
serenelv observes, “Oregon State
will probably be longer remembered,
like West Virginia University, by
the speaker, and will furnish him
with material for anecdotes to be
used at his next stop, where, inci
dentally, he is to speak at couvocu
1 ion.”
lie makes no attempt to interpret
the affair. There is no effort to
precipitate the clouds obscuring tlm
facts. And .1. S. II., the Kmerald,
and thousands admittedly injured by
the cancellation may continue to
query, “Who is responsible?” with
out an answer. That is, all but
Kirby Page, who needs no answer.
Por he still distinctly recalls the
martial censorship of his intended
message to the students of West
A irginia.
Too Bad We
Can’t Have More
^ I MIK crowd of University stu
dents, faculty and townspeople
1 who heard Maurice Hindus speak in
the Woman’s building last night on
, Russia of today, came away with
i a vastly clearer and better idea of
the Russian situation than any one
of them was likely tp have liad
before.
Maurice Hindus spoke of the-Bol
shevik! and what they are doing in
the Soviet Republic in anticipation
of Russia’s future. The term “Bol
sheviki” litis been used so much in
the news of the last ten years and
has played so great a part in every
day talk as to have become a by
word, as Mr. Hindus said. The
crowd which gathered to hear him
speak exported to hear about the
Bolsheviki. They did. And they
heard more than .just that.
They heard of the hundred nn.d
some millions of Russian peasants
who are the backbone of the. nation,!
and compared with whom the Rid
sheviki are but a handful. They
learned of the refusal of these il
literate peasants to bow down to j
the authority of the soviet without
lirst threshing out questions for
themselves. Mr, Hindus told how
the seed of democracy was slowly!
spreading through the ranks of the
ignorant but not stupid masses, and
how the soviet authorities could not
curb the peasants’ freedom of
speech, as they have done in the |
fities.
Himself a Russian, being born in
what he characterized as the most
squalid section of rural Russia, and
then getting an education in the
Uints-d States in the best of our
universities,‘and having the advan
tage of being able to combine the!
! knowledge of a native with the!
I viewpoint of the foreigner, Mr.
; Hindus should be in a position to
observe and to form opinions of
real value. When he criticizes the.
Bolshevistic regimo for its tyran
nies and praises it for the good it
is accomplishing through the intro-I
ductou of laws requiring humane 1
treatment of wives and children and
the observance of sanitary precau
tions, his hearers are made to feel
that here is a man who is able to1
and does tell the truth about a
puzzling situation.
The idea comes to mind that 3V i
all may be propaganda to allay fears
as to what is happening in Russia
and to forestall interference. It is
to be hoped otherwise, but only Mr.
Hindus knows whether that is true
or false. lie gave information
which was new to at least most of
his audience. It was enthusiastically
welcomed and it is to be regretted
that more can not be learned from
so able a speaker at this time, for
the time would be well spent,

AN EASTERNER, IN DEFINING

BLIZZARD IF FIVE MEN CAN !
HOLD A BLANKET OVER A GIM- I
LET HOLE IN THE DOOR.
’• i
Universities ought to adept some j
such a negative definition of a pro-'

can hold a slicker over his mouth
while he is lecturing he isn’t a pro-,

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EU

a meeting of the student council!
late yesterday afternoon, asked to i
be given power to appoint a new
committee. Appointments will be
made from the few remaining stu-1
dents on the campus who are not (

Mr. Beelar, is to see that faculty
members get the most out of their
college life.

Rapid-Fire Replies
To CurioUs Queries
The Inquiring Reporter Asks
from Campus folks selected at
random, one question each day.
Replies are directly quoted.
Today’s Question: How can you
tell a collegian from other persons?
Hob Griffin, senior in psychol
ogy: “The normal man thinks the
world is a huge sandpile and he
has a toy shovel but the collegian
is busily planning a steam shovel.”
Dorothy Franklin, junior in jour
nalism: “You can tell them by their
clothes, raincoats and large trous
ers. The colors they choose are
very bright, loud and attract atten
tion.”
Thirza Anderson, freshman in
journalism: “You can usually tell
them bv the way they walk, by their
collegiate shuffle, and the line they
usually peddle. And among the
men it's ‘you can't resist my fascin
ation’ attitude, especially when they
come back from their home town.”
Horace Cooke, senior in educa
tion: “I recognize a collegian by
his bored attitude and lack of ap
parent hurry.”
Ethel Johnson, special in music:
“You can tell some of them by their
clothes and others by their actions.”

do mean is a. theater under state
control, presenting the best in the
way of theatrical education. I hope
that some day such a thing can
•ome about, but, in the meantime,
the community groups are taking
the place of it and doing remark^

drama.”
Miss Young graduated from the
University of Oregofi in 1914. »She
is affiliated with Delta Gamma sor
ority and was prominent during her
■ollege years in the Guild Theater
Players under the direction of Fer
gus Reddie.
“I owe a great ileal to the dra
matic work which I received in col
lege,” she admitted, “my only re
£Spt, was that I had not had more
character work and less playing of
straight parts. Every student
should insist upon variety even if
in small roles.”
She rose from her chair and
tucked her hair up out of the way.
“Putting off a play until nine
o’clock gives me a chance to take
a nap before going on,” she smiled
. . . and was gone.
