Mitchelmore Assistant Night Editors—Joe Rice TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1928 Cracking the Confines Of the Old Shell AN announcement today from Mrs. Irene T. Gerlingor that the construction plans for the Prince L. Campbell memorial building have actually been completely drawn and that erection of the first unit of the building is scheduled for some time next year tinges the hapless lot of the University’s fine arts treas ures with a brighter future. Much of the exquisite oriental art collection given the University by Mrs. Murray Warner might as well lie shrouded on Altai mountain with ‘the Khans us in the attic rooms of University buildings where it cannot be displayed for the delight of art lovers. But the unfortunate lack of accommodations will not debar it from exhibition before its admirers much longer. In the memorial build ing it will be provided a royal set ting befitting its lineage. When the Murray Warner group and the several others Hint will com pose the fine arts museum, are fin ally arrayed where all may have easy access to them, how many stu dents, we wonder, will be able lo appreciate them according to their due? llow many will be interested in them, if at all, merely as curios; and how many have improved their opportunity for the cultivation and maturing of their taste to truly revel in beauty? Few there’ll be, we daresay, who will bo able to meet the challenge of the proposed museum exhibit. If our careless guess is right— if indeed there would not be many who would partake of the esthetic feast—students are not receiving full educational measure or (prob ably and) they are not profitting by it. They are studying the drama of civilizations. But it is not a narrative which can lie best expres sed in words, it can better be felt through other mediums — through plastic art, paintings, textiles. The dominance of major courses has always been a factor in dis suading the underclassman from sat isfying any wisp of inclination he might have in this direction. His allegiance and interest are early confined to his major school and the few orthodox elect ivi\ allowed him. And the junior and senior conforms to his underclass habits. Liberal arts majors are to ho freed from the tyranny of a school when the new curriculum reform gees into effect next year. Depart mental cohesion will be broken up so that a much greater proportion may discover how the fields of learning dovetail to form a unified whole. And in the integration it is to bo hoped that they find art, not as a social frill but as the es sence of its time in the life of the world. Barriers such as the high fees in music should not be allowed to pre i hide the enrollment of general stu dents in a service course for non technical explorers in the arts. And similarly in other schools, the bur den that must be shouldered by the majors should rest lightly on the ca'sual investigator. An Old Story; The Same Old Way SAJ) but true, examinations are just over the hill. ATii even two weeks of classes, and then the stu dents will be called upon to pit their stores of knowledge against the questionings of the faculty. As is usually the case, many have allowed themselves to drift along and let work pile up into a mass which has taken on almost forbid ding proportions. This is a period of frenzied effort in which wo try to make amends fot past delinquen cies to such an extent as to emtble to get a grade in each course. It is not the fact that examina tions are near that is decried. Were all other factors in the business of being educated taken care of’ in a competent manner, examinations would in a large measure cease to be the bug-a-boo they are to the most of us and would merely signal ize tho winding up of a definite period of intellectual effort. It is the habit of putting off do ing necessary bits of work which is at fault. Many have been con fronted with tho same problem, of doing most of tho term’s work in the Inst weeks, every term of their university career. It is impossible that we do our best under such circumstances, nor do we pretend to believe it to be the case. Undoubtedly, there are some who are faced with the situation be cause they have undertaken too much. They, like the procrastina tors, can learn from experience; and, of the two groups, are the more likely to do so. The habit is one wherein the in dividual works to harm his own best interests. It means that he does things by halves. Half-way measures are not satisfactory means of carrying one the whole distance to a far-off goal. The practice of just "getting by” is working on a narrow margin of safety. Most of us have need of all tho margin we can get, but we’ll never get it with only half trying. —W. O.

ON DAMMASCH’S DEMOTION ' A reader in Santa Barbara sends an Emerald clipping, together with 1 the following comment, concerning I the recent appearance of Louis’ name among “Wayward Freshmen” ' summoned by Oregon Knights: “I think Louis should bo given ! the medal for this one. When I was exposed to the, school—I mean the courses, thank goodness I was never exposed (ha, ha), I recall Louis was a junior, but according to this he has been demoted to a lowly frosh. This might be a coincidence, but take it from me I don’t think so— Well—he at least deserves credit for starting all over again. I wish you would bring this to his atten tion in the column. I personally believe the Theta Chi’s should be enlightened of this “move” through your column. Well, if Louis over catches me lie ’ll wring my neck—-hope he sees this. I know what lie’ll say. “Is that bird A1 Clark back in school?” STATISTICS NOT WORTH KNOWING If all the electricity used in ears parked outside sorority houses were concentrated in your flashlight, you would have to uso matches.
