Independence Displayed
In Campus Ballot
T) ETURNfi from the Emerald
Current Questions ballot dis
close a kinship of political ideas
between Oregon and Yale students.
It was there recently that, when
the Yale News conducted a, straw
vote, Herbert Hoover headed up
ho!) more ballots than all the others
put together.
This overwhelming sentiment for
Hoover gives rise (o an impression
that the insistent thumping of the
Hoover tom-tom during the last few
weeks has resurrected in the popu
lar mind an image of (lie. super
efficiency man and philanthropist
of war times.
It is certain that Oregon students
cannot be counted ugly ducklings
politically. They follow truly in
the steps of their fathers. Al Smith
was the only candidate in the op
posing camp that attracted any
campus following.
Oregon students believe in tem
perance, too. A great number, it's
true, are dissatisfied with the pres
ent status of prohibition. Many
who admit the failure of the eigh
teenth amendment voted for more
rigid enforcement in a hope of ef
fective federal teeth. And there
were but few who would toss the
amendment overboard and venture
without restriction. •
The prohibition question was nec
essarily left for liberal interpreta
tion. Voters for modification may
have wanted light wines and beer,
local option, oi' merely abolition of
saloons. Attempt to determine such
details would have swathed the
issue in an entanglement of techni;
ealities beyond the general scope of
opinion.
The result reveals, however, that
the impatience of college students
with the prohibition amendment has
been much exaggerated.
Loyalty to the Cl. (). I’, did not
appear to affect the independence of
student opinion on the topic of for
eign .relations. Aloofness of the
United States in foreign matters
would quickly* be changed if the
student body had jurisdiction. And
the marine barnstorming expedition
in Nicaragua received scant support.
Although the maturity of student,
opinion on national issues has been
repeatedly challenged, students here
have displayed intelligent non-eon
fortuity to dominant moulders of
opinion. The result is proof that
they are not being bludgeoned into
all of their beliefs.
Pussy Wants
A Corner
TT7MIKN a co-ed reporter for the
California Daily Bruin, pub
lished at U. 0. L. A., interviewed
the comedian of a current stage pro
duction showing in Los Angeles, she
learned that he loved donkeys and
liked to ride on them.
What .is so strange about this
particular person’s affection for a
donkey, any donkey, that makes it
into copy for a newspaper? No
doubt there have been other people
who have cured for the long-eared
beast of burden, and preferred to
journey about from place to place on
his back rather than astride the
more imposing and spirited thorough
bred.
It may be that the cause lay in
the man. Like many another youth,
he came to college to learn a wav
to bring bread and butter into their
proper affinity so that he might
spend the declining years of his life
in comparative ease. But, as with
many another, his plans underwent
a change. Instead of becoming an
electrician, today he is a clown who
rides a donkey across the stage
before an audience which has paid
fur the privilege of being made to
laugh.
Who is to say that the clown
would have been happier had lie
gone on to follow the prosaic, call
ing of the electrician instead of
trusting his fortunes to the fickle
ness of audiences'? Perhaps lie
would IitTVe been a better wiror of
buildings, one who installs lights,
rather than the one who disports
himself in their glow, AVho knows?
j After all, each of us has his own
life to , live, with duo regard for
j the rights of those whose lives are
| spent about us. If we are happy,
we can help to make others happy.
; If we grumble and are dissatisfied
| with our lot, wo can do little to
make things more pleasant for our
neighbors.
The time will come in the not so
distant future, say the psychologists,
that it will be possible to examine
people and tell exactly what sort
of thing they are fitted to do; but
now wo continue to be so many
1 pussies seeking a corner.

ANDY GUMP REFUSED
TO HELP UNIVERSITY
DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 20.—(Spe- j
cial)—Andrew Gump, world-famed
billionaire “god of charity,” told
the Kiwanis Club the night before
his dream ended that the General
Electric’s sales scheme of giving a
fur coat to every sorority purchas
ing an electric refrigerator was out
of the line of charity.
Immediately after the Kiwanis
luncheon, Mr. Gump motored out to
the home of Henry Ford, where he
left a basket of food on the door
step.
President Hall received word to
day that Mr. Gump is now financi
ally unable to accept the Univer
sity’s offer of an honorary member
ship in Phi Beta Kappa in exchange
for a gift of a million dollars.

NEW ENGLISH “A” FEE
STIRS WALL STREET
NEW YORK, N. Y„ Jan. 20.—
(Special)—At. least three of the
nation’s great banking firms are
still staggering as the result of a
persistent rumor on Wall Street
that J. P. Morgan has acquired a
controlling interest in the physical
education and English departments
of tho University of Oregon.
The rumor first started, a few
days ago when a raise of fees for
there departments became known on
Wall Street.
Grctchcu asked what all the row
was about over a president. “Cool
itlgc is still president, isn't he?,”
she asked in that winning way of
hers.

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: What Is your
opinion of the value of the straw
ballot that wag just taken on the
campus regarding political matters?
Robert Barnes, senior in business
administration: “It is for the most
part a waste of time. The majority
of the students on the campus are
not up on politics. Not having
given the subject any serious study
their opinion is of little or no value.”
Wayfe Ilockett, sophomore and art
major: “The voting is done more
or less blindly, but it stimulates an
interest in national affairs in
preparation for their future political
life.”
John Halderman, sophomore' in
prelaw: “It brings the students’
political ideas to a focus, and causes
some thought on subjects they ordi
narily would not give any serious
consideration.”
Frances Borton, senior in English:
“As far as being indicative of the
outcome of the November elections,
it probably is of small value. How
ever, it serves to show the lack of
students’ general information on
political questions.”
Fred Meeds, junior in business
administration: “I think a very
small proportion of the students arc
capable of giving an unbiased opin
ion on political questions. The ma
jority of them arc under the influ
ence of the ideas of their parents.
Therefore, the results will not re
flect the opinions of the students
for the most part.”

a 'Bite’ From
This Tobacco
Larus & Bro. Co.
Richmond, Va.
Gentlemen:
I have always wanted to smoke a
pipe. After several attempts I gave
my "taste” up, for with each trial 1
got a blistered tongue.
One evening, when looking over a
certain outdoor magazine, I read that
a certain fisherman could catch more
fish when using “Edgeworth,” so 1
decided 1 would try “his” tobacco—
for I am no poor fisherman!
The next day I tried to secure Edge
worth. The local country storekeepei
did not have it, so I sent by a friend tc
the city for my first Edgeworth. Twe
things have happened: I still smoke
Edgeworth, and the local storekeepei
always has a supply.
I catch fish and never get “a bite’
from Edgeworth!
