Night Editor This Issue— John Dodds ltifi Money Prizes Fertilize Barren Trees For isolating (wo hormones in the pituitary gland and thus adding invaluably to the knowledge of science, l)r. Oliver Kanmi, Octroi! chcniisl. has been awarded a prize of $1,000 by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. It. is the greatest amount of money available to the association for the prize and it was unhesitatingly given to Dr. Kamm, not only for the immediate material value which his discovery will have, but as well for his having made a forward step toward opening to scientific, study the mysteries of the comparatively unexplored field of the endocrine system. it is rather ironical that Dr. Kramm should have received $1,000 for a contribution to humanity which could not possibly be measured in money. !l is even more ironical when considered in the light of other prizes which have received great publicity within the last few weeks. There is (he prize of $50,000 offered for the best “peace” plan ; (he prizes of $25,000 each for a scheme for prohibition enforcement nml, for an opinion as to how one may prolong his life. News of prizes of $10,000 or more for novels and pro motion schemes of various sorls continually break into the public prints. Besides (he great difference in (lie amount of money which Dr. Kamm received and (lie amount of other rewards, there is an outstanding distinct ion between them. Abolition of war is a worthy ideal, but at the present time it certainly is only an ideal. Prohibition enforcement may require a more, effective system, but the plan which won $25,000 was only a plan and nothing more. In contras) is (lie actual fact of achievement on I he part of t he I )et roil chemist. Thrones, it seems, ure more valuable from llie monetary standpoint Ilian deeds l)r. Kaiimi spent untold effort in dis-1 covering the hormone, wliieli lias already- in a matter of days added incalculably to medical science. Dr. Kamm's name, no doubt, will he forgotten tomorrow. 11 is real reward will be the realization that he has added lo human happiness, that he has helped disspate the terror of childbirth by providing a means of alleviating its pain. Meanwhile it would seem that those who offer the big money prize's have1 picked out the most barren tree in the orchard for their particular care and have disregarded that which bears I he most fruit. Need of Money No New Problem at Oregon It seems to be one of the characteristics of the I niversity id (fregon lo be in need of money, decent newspaper headlines carried the information that the university board of regents has decided to ask the state legislature for special appropria tions totaling +110,000 for use in carrying on and developing the extension division and a program of research. This fact points, to the constant struggle of the university to offer greater cdu-1 rational advantages to the state which it serves. Interesting in consideration of the ajnount of money now sought in addition to the regular biennial appropriations of + llli,(i07 and a pension fund of +7J'0()0 is the first real financial crisis which the university has faced. It came five years after the university had first opened its doors when the sheriff of lame county, like the villain of the melodrama, held a writ of execution against Deady hall on the campus, threatening to sell the institution unless .+'7,000 owing on the building was imme diately paid to creditors. The demand was indeed a great one for the small school to meet and for a long time the fate of the university was in. doubt. I site in duly, IS peat's ago, the obdurate creditors eou j'ronted .1. W. Johnson, president, with an ultimatum. If the money was not paid off on the lien on Deady, college would not open in the fall. Townspeople of Kuge'ie, faculty members and some JO alumni rallied loyally to the aid of President Johnson and with tremendous effort were able to amass sufficient money to avert the crisis and sa ve I he school. Consider what +7.000 then meant to the state of 10'Jtt; con sider what +1*0.000 now will mean to the state of the future. 4 AM rus ,<* m KOIM -'v TO Till: ClHTOli: \\ . defeated WiH;inu-t tr ; WI ilr featcd tin' Checkerboards, Imt we did not defeat the Oon.aj'u ltylldn“s, although the Builders did not shoe exceptiotially sharp teeth.

Yes, the ever con ! siderate university officials gladly promote a high school conference j for a selfish point of view—that of boosting the university throughout the state at the good nature of the fraternities and sororities upon the campus. Then in turn these same ever con siderate university officials kept men in the new dormitory even though they had pledged houses be fore the deadline set at the end of ; rush week. Practically any house upon the campus can testify to this because of the intense rushing pro gram carried on by officials to fill j the hall resulted in the catching in the meshes these unsuspecting fresh • men. Another proof to this, is that this term, after the pledges moved out of the dorm, those left, were bless I ed with enough empty rooms to have individual study halls. * As a suggestion to these ever cou ! siderate officials, why Weren’t these high school delegates distributed throughout the dorm so that the university could dj some advance rushing and also that they could show their ever considerate spirit' again towards the fraternities by relieving them of the trouble—it really amounts to that in trying to entertain tlie delegates, house them, and feed them. Most houses are usually filled to tlie capacity— but, the ever con siderate officials thought that the old saying “there is always room for one more” would also work in this fuse even though some of the I raters had to sleep on davenports, double up, eat in the kitchen, and what not. A HTUDENT. ‘INCII/IMNC* hep©rter turtmin. Today’s Quest ion: Do you agree with tlie eastern professor who says the lecture system is the “worst system yet devised for imparting knowledge ?” Celia Stoddard, senior in English: “l think that the lecture system is .inadequate because it gives the pro fessor no chance to learn the stu dents’ ideas, and gives students no chance to express their opinions. I j think the Socratic method of ques tion and answer is superior, because! it involves an interchange of ideas.” Verne Elliott, sophomore in jour nalism: "I think the lecture sys tem is the best system because one gets the opinions of the professor as well as from the text. Also a stu dent has his notes to study from.” Kathryn Allison, freshman in ro mance languages: “1 think it is a good system because the professor can present points that students would otherwise miss in a reading course. ” Erancis McKenna, senior in law: "1 think that il depends on who is giving the lecture. If it is an in telligent lecturer, one can learn as much from a lecture as bv reading the text.” Kathryn Fry, junior in pre-law: “I think it all depends on the lec ture. The lecturer must be well ac quainted with the material and be able to present it to the students inte rrstingly. ” The Ambler Yesterday wo saw: urn DUNHAM ami lilUUCRAW KOKD scuffling over a box of pop* 4*0rn . . . 1IRLKN PKTKRS wearing a red beret and woolv red mat . . .

It isn’t considered good policy to admit missing the biggest story of the year, especially when it might not even have been missed, but we feel that it is only fair that the readers know we really put up a ifight to get it. Rumors have persisted that if the truth could only be published in Duck Soup, many a football player who has been going “steady” would be looking around for “another.” “Bun” Stadelman, cornered in the College Side Monday night, said ho would say plenty for $5.00, but the Cook had only $4.98 and was unable to make the deal. If any honorary organizations are seeking a worth while pieee of work they might sponsor a campaign to raise enough money to make some football players talk. Stadelman promises that plenty will be heard for the money. ■ TODAY’S LIMPING LIMERICK There was a young man on tlio cam pus, Said, “H-ow tlie women do vanipus, They ogglo their eyes, Give coos and sighs; How I hate these dames who lampus. ” —A. & L.

KENNEL-ELLIS STUDIOS THE COLLEGE WATCH ===== It Tells the College Times — -By LEONARD H. DELANO Exceedingly pathetic is the news that college men are naughty enough to bring down upon themselves the i threat that they may be deprived of their rooting sections at football! and other games. And well may we weep, for rumbles of such a threat ' have reached our ears from none other than the Stanford campus, the , home of “Pop” Warner and liis brilliant proteges of football. ■“Stanford rooting section may be eliminated,” a headline tells us at i the top of a United Press item in a I' daily paper. And then follows a report that President Ray Lyman Wilbur has recommended that very 1 thing to the Stanford board of ath letic control. “Tut! tut!” we say to ourselves. But we wonder what could have in spired such a jarring request, and wondering we turn to the latest re | ports in the Stanford Daily. “Profane and obscene language, drunkeness and disorderly conduct,” ! is the accusation hurled against the traditional rooting section. It seems • that a few in the rooting section ; during some of the football games, their sense of stability and mental ■ center of gravity somewhat shaken from injections of alcoholic drink, performed vocal gymnastics and other gymnastics not quite appropo for the occasion. And evidently other persons seated in this section did not appear to have been in I fluenced by Sir Volstead or Emily Post either. Lackaday! lackaday! It is understood that President | Wilbur, in taking the stifnd lie has, I does not request the abolition of the \ rooting section. On the other hand, j he does ask that “steps be taken to | remove evils which have risen in connection with them.” I “Pop” Warner agrees with him J and declares that he would like to see that the “foul and obscene lan I guage” is stopped. Phillip Caval j ero, president of the A. S. S. U., j takes the same stand. The Stanford Daily declares, J “There nfb very many, particularly ! lower division students, who derive ! considerable pleasure from sitting in ; the rooting section. To others, yell ing and stunting is a bore—such a . Imre, in fact, that they prefer to sell , their tickets to high school lads and hoary grandfathers and sit in five j dollar seats. “Mot only drinking and swearing is on the increase, but sportsman ship aud courtesy shown visiting Classified LOST—t! gold pons, one smooth, and one with initials M.

We aren’t all perfect. But to paraphrase a New \ork writer’s words, ^ A laugh is due When disorder’s epithets are hurled; What’s loss of face lor you Is fun for all the world!
