Murray THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 3928 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, —W.

UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS TO HAVE “BIG BROTHERS” UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EU GENE, Jan. 12.— (Special.) —Don Beelar, student body president, at i 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 ( at present on committees. The pur-' pose of the “ big brother ” move- j went for professors, according to Mr. Beelar, is to see that faculty members get the most out of their college life.

Mo give up MY bed?" sTVI'N ps. 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.” (Continued from page one) 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^ able work for the advancement of 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.
