Day Editor Thin Issue— Dorothy Baker, Night, Editor Thin Issue—Floyd Horn Assistant Night Editors— Warren Tinker WEDNESDAY, .JANUARY 25, 1928 Putrescent Whiffs From Smut Quarters Naughty Fred is up to Hs old tricks ugnin. Itix murk is< splattering wide and cureless since lie (|iiit the F/irst Congregational church hero and became a free lance red-hot-gospeller. And Sun day night in Salem ho let fly a few fetid handsful at. Mrs. Virginia Judy Ksterly, dean of women. Eugene’s self-styled “bringer of light,” Fred J. Clark, contradicted reports of his first fusillade and then contradicted his contradiction, which makes il all a little confus ing. This is what the Associated Ureas correspondent heard1 him sav of his speech: “ I then spoke j)f the recent ap pearance of Lindsey in Eugene when Dean Esterl.v appeared to favor his being allowed to address the Uni versity students, and 1 said that in my opinion such an attitude on her part made her less suitable as an adviser for young girts going to her with their personal problems.” Later, ho admitted that he’d for gotten just what he did say. And, in the course of conversation, he endorsed birth control and did not condemn Lindsey’s theories of mar riage, but considers them unfit for University digestion. Air. Clark's slander hinges on a Eugene Quilt'd report in which, he says, Afrs. Esterly signified that she favored the Lindsey lecture sched uled by the A. S. U. (). committee. Hospitality to new ideas, to a mind the calibre of Mr, Clark’s, proves active support of all the views presented. ' And Dean Ester ly’s inability to either help or hinder in the matter of student lec turers chosen doesn’t seem to mat ter. The Emerald would mil deny Mr. Clark his peculiar position as critic par excellence of smut. llis con tribution to modern pornography is not inconsiderable, as students who recall his ‘•Challenge” in the Eu gene Register of October ”0 will appreciate, lint we do venture the suggestion that faithfulness to his art demands tic t it ions heroines for his salacious fabrications. And even then we’d probably refuse to fea ture his key-hole thrillers in our paper. Platitude About Time Is Repeated J AST IViday tin* Kmerald cm ricd an editorial protest against 11n* abolishing of scholastic require ments fur initiation into sororities mid fraternities as exemplified by the action of the inter-sorority conn » il of the New York state t’oUe^e for Touchers. The Ihnerald editorial favored flic abolition of grade com petition between organizations and tlie retention of the initiation re quirement. Botli were held to be faulty, but the latter was attributed to possess a virtue for which no satisfactory substitute has yet been found. In a communication published fSat urday morning, II. A. and M. A. V chose to support the abolition o the initiation requirement. They maintained that there will be some sort of an intellectual stimulus in jected into the individual under such a condition, that “some de grec of trim scholarship may per "leate the, atmosphere,” but did not venture to suggest' how it was to tic' brought a trout. They chose “to ignore tile good old platitude about time’s ripeness,—. ” Tlie situation in state universi ties, such as Oregon, does not readily lend itself to a sudden abolition of present methods without consider able trouble. (treat numbers of students must be permitted to en roll .just because their light to do set is equal to that of count less others. Admission is granted on u j basis of grades made in high school and not because tlie applicants show qualities of intellectual curiosity. The many reasons why the mass of students attend college are too well I known to need repetition here. It is true that a small minority of the students enrolled in the uni versities nre in possession of intel lectual curiosity. Few of these are over bothered with meeting grade requirements, so that if they were at all affected bv tire abolition of the requirements, it would probably bo us a gain in freedom to follow their inclinations. Blit what is to be done with the students lacking in the incentive to pursue knowledge for its own sake if all requirements are to be done away with? Society says they have a right to an university education. Can those who can not be innocu lnted with intellectual curiosity lie thrust out of the institution with out further ado? The American program of mass education will not be changed over | night. Until vital changes are | made, the universities will be eom j [idled to cure for lire student who j merely attends classes. This means I that grade requirements, no matter j how desirable their abolition, will | remain until sm-lr a time arrives. • It is our belief that the ultimate I abolition of grade- requirements is desirable, blit to discard an instru ment which functions lint, imper fectly in favor of the blind chance that "some sort of an intellectual stimulus will be injected into the individual” would be exceedingly rash. — W. 0. \\ orlil IVurt* Books From Fttrncjjic Flub Atblrtl to Library The Oregon In t.i- f«i;i t Bela lions i lull has .just received ;i new allot nu'ii t of books and p:i in (ill lot from tlio Carnegie endowment i'o World I ‘on rr, whirli air now on tin .lull’s sh.lt in tin- lunin 1 i Writ ry Those l.ouh : are donated from tinu to time lie the I'arnejie lhidowment for the |iurpose of fostering inter est in world affairs.

The house is being built opposite the fraternity’s lot on Thirteenth and Alder streets, but Boone Hen dricks, who is on the building com mittee, says it is being done inten tionally. The new house will be i moved across the street in the spring when the old basement has had time to dry out.

Tin1 blond senior with the coffee stained mustache says if a man weals a bow tie in the morning and a long one in the afternoon he probably had berry pie for lunch. FA MOV S' LAST WOUOS "Thank goodness the porch light's still on." sr-vjdjc seeks Rapid-Fire Replies fo Curious Queries The Inquiring Reporter Asks from Campus folks selected at random, one question each day. Replies are directly quoted. I Today’s question: What do you 1 consider the most pleasant experi ! enee in your life? Fred Wade, .-junior in j biology: “About the pleasantest thing I know is to call a girl up for a date, then call up before the dance and find they still have the same date.” • Fred West, sophomore in busi ness administration: “Life for me has been one pleasant experience after another. Personally, I have an optimistic view of life. Though ; small things are not so pleasant, there are larger things that make up the difference.” Sheldon Brumbaugh, special in architecture: “The pleasantest ex perience in life is the loss of one’s virtue*” Gertrude Koko, junior in music: “Right now I think it is sleep. It ■ is good for the complexion. It makes j you feel like a million dollars when j you don’t have to get up for eight o’clocks.” Margaret Watson, senior in jour nalism: “The most pleasant ex perience in life is to sleep through an eight o’clock and then find that there isn’t an eight o’clock.” Miss Avis Lobdell Broadcasts Today i Miss Avis Lobdell, Women’s Wei I fare Director for the Union Pacific System, who was a guest of the ; school of commerce on the campus | yesterday, will broadcast today from station KFJR, Portland, Oregon, be ! tween and 4 o’clock, on her trip j to the Oregon .camping. She will i stress the need of money for the Fine Arts building, and will give the history of the Murray Warner j Art Museum. According to Miss Lobdell, she was completely surprised at the marvelous art collection in the AVo I man’s building and does not think that the students realize its value. Spaeth Not To Speak As First Scheduled Sigmund Spaeth, brother of Dun can Spaeth, who was scheduled to address the students in the lecture series, has been appointed man ia gin g director of the Community Concerts corporation, and will not be able to take the coast trip that he had planned for this spring, ac cording to Jack W.

Preliminary Squash Tennis Attracts Many Former Luminaries Three preliminary squash tennis matches of the annual squash tour nament have been played off this week. The winners of these and of the other elimination rounds will bo announced Friday, the final date for trial matches. The second round of the squash tournament rvas to have begun today, but the pl^y-offs have lagged, necessitating this de lay. Court eight is reserved for squash' tennis matches every day, and play ers matched for preliminaries on the drawing list in the loeker room at the gymnasium should get to gether and sign for a court before Friday. Squash tennis is attracting a con siderable number of tejnnis lumi naries this season, and once the tourney is well under way Dutch Widmer, last year’s champion, will have to exert himself to stay iu the running.
