Day Editor This Issue— Dorothy Baker, Night Editor This Issue— Joe Rice Assistant Night Editor— Charles Barr Wilfred Brown WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1028 The West Bites the Dust In International Studies NLY one out of the eighty col lege stiilients who will attend the World Peace Conference this summer from the United States is from, the Pacific coast. There is a sorry disproportion in the scheme that sent the judges of the American committee of selec tions eastward in their hunt for qualified delegates. Eighty to one! Can that be the ratio between the easterner and westerner ns he thinks on world problems? The stndcnts who were chosen successfully presented to the com mittee an outlino of the main points of ten different international prob lems. In addition, they cited the arguments for and against some one prominent international question. One junior down at U. C. L. A. is interested in what the 'world is go ing to do to rid itself of its multi fold perplexities. Ho has an active interest, and in a few months ho is going to take a trip to'Holland along wiht seventy-nine others from the Midwest and East. The results of the cun test elo quently confirm the familiar allega tion that tlie eastern seaboard knows more about the Japanese problem than the Orient’s neighbors of the Pacific community, the states west of the Itockies. The Pacific coast cannot secede from the world. Indeed, we have it on good authority that the Pacific is destined to be the theater for the most important international devel opments in history. Oregon should look forward to a major role. Infertile discussion and debates fall of their own inertia. This is because the kaleidoscopic surface transformations in the “changeless East” have blurred the vision of the westerner; his historical ma terials are stale and today's con cepts are confused. With the latest instruments and enthusiasm born of close contact, such organizations as the Interna tional Eolations club are now at tacking the formidable muddle which is the political and social world. It is not too much to ex pect that Oregon students should attain at least a parity with those qf the east, and another contest should show a better balance in ratio. Highway Routes and Student Safety ^TUIE chamber of commerce ap proves the plan, for re-routing the Pacific highway traffic over Thirteenth avenue cast through the University of Oregon campus. Any effort to divert the visitor from the slabwood yards which dis tort the view on Franklin boulevard deserves consideration. The smooth lawns and well-kept buildings of the campus present a pleasing contrast. But Thirteenth avenue traffic al ready is too heavy. Pedestrians, and there are three thousand of them on Thirteenth avenue, do not mix well with traffic such as tra verses the Pacific highway at Eu gene. The happy medium—geogra phically as well as otherwise—seems to lio along Eleventh avenue. There the visitor may catch a view* of the older and more beautiful part of the campus, and ho may enter the business district ^ilong the most at tractive residence street in Eugene, without risking tho life and limb of numerous student pedestrians. And Swing Into Line TNr proposing that the scholastic re -*■ ipiirements for fraternity initia tion shall bo increased, tho Greek letter soeities are falling iu lino with the policy of tho University administration. Ksiso tho standards! That has been tho cry and practice on tho Oregon campus for the last ten years and more. As a result, Oregon is coming to bo recognized far and wide as an institution of high merit. Grades, it must be admitted, are not. wholly accurate measurements of scholastic ability. The necessity of earning a grade of high rating wilt, j however, act as a spur to greater intellectual activity and 'make it j possible for the fraternities to keep | step with the increased scholastic pace set by tho University authori •M. E. Catch —W. C’. Guild Actors Take Stride Ahead In Second Showing of Wilde Play liy ALICK (iOHMAN A most enthusiastic uudloiice packed tlio Guild theatre last night to goo the first play of tho first annual reportoiro week cut hold in any school in tho Pacific Northwest. For tho production itself it may ho mid that their improvement, over their last presentation of the same play is quite remarkable. The most outstanding development was in Helen Allen’s interpretation of the M-ry difficult role of l.udv Winder mere. Where there was little color or feeling before- last night there was good emotion and acting. Miss Allen slowed down the tempo of her part also, which helped it per ceptibly. bitch a degree of im provoment in so short a space of time is highly commendable, and much praise is to tie given Miss Florence Wilbur, director, lot the work sko must have put in to bring the play up to tho dcgroi of excel Jeue# at which wo saw it last night. Harriet Hawkins as tho duchess of Bi rwiek still maintains her place above all, but she had a great deal linin' competition in Merle Benedict ms Mr. Huinby, “always asleep1’; and the blase .lack Waldron ns Cecil liraluiin; not omitting the ineom ptirable Tuppy as played by Mar shall Jlopkins; nor \ oral Wright's version of the very English Mr. Hopkins. Hugh Hogan got into his part a sense of suppressed emotion that really rallied it over in this pmtieulnr part better than axpres sien of it would have done. R.O.T.C.

And if you don’t believe me, look it up in some canto or other of Childe Harold. This is not a story of flaming youth. Or any thing devilish. But just this: “Canada Dry” is the smoothest* mellowest, most palatable ginger ale you’ve ever tasted. It quenches your thirst. It has a distinc tive flavor. It mixes well with other beverages. It contains no capsicum (red pepper). And it i$ really good for you. “CANADA DRY Keg. U. S. Pat. Off. The Qhampag?ie of (finger ^Ales” Extract imported from Canada and bottled in the U. S.

New Worlds for Old J Ivb Galileo, every pioneer seeks ^ new worlds. In the telephone industry this has led to discoveries of ways and means to better service. Telephone pioneers of yesterday hewed a way through intricacies of sci ence, finance and business management to establish the era of “distance speech.” 1 elephone pioneers of our own day imagined a ’cross-ocean service—and then made it. Telephone pioneers of tomorrow null face tne challenge of new and greater problems sure to arise.
