Night Editors This Issue—‘Thornton Shaw Julia Currie Education or Propaganda? Right now America is in 1 ho grip of an epidemic of cduca 1 ion. How chii democracy succeed? Kdueation. How can crime be lessoned? ICdtieat ion. Ilow can wo fight disease, automobile accidents, war, poverty? With education. The answer to every human ill is education. Ivlueale people to see this and do that and Eureka! lake most popular movements it lias ramified and pervaded every corner, yef few even know what il is. Almost anything passes for education. If you are a garble manufacturer you educate the public to the danger of throat germs and, ad suiumimi. the efficiency of your article in discouraging the propagation of pathogenic bacteria. It is advertising parad ing under the guise of education. If you are a social reformer you get up on a soap box and try to educate the public to your way of thinking. If the capitalist does the same for his cause, that is propaganda. A large per cent of the educa tion being practiced on the public is (“ither propaganda or ad vertising. It is merely an instrument for converting others to your way of thinking and to your ends. This may seem a diatribe on American education. It is not. It is altogether debatable whether propaganda is not eipiit able in support of a good cause. But know what you are getting the mark of an educated man is 1hat lie accepts nothing without examination, without satisfying himself first accord ing to Ids own criteria of its goodness. Hell Week’ Becomes More Human; ‘Community Bovine’’ Recognized! Now is the lime when freshmen can be observed during 1 lie still dark periods of the night in nefarious, strange, mys terions missions. This week end. probably, eager, expectant, misty eyed freshman coeds who were fortunate enough to make their grades will be arrayed in wooden enrls, and kindergarten hair ribbons, seeking innocently a black and white striped cat with a gray ear and tail. Fraternity initiates may be obliged to describe the buried remains of some early seltler found in adjoining cemeteries. Varied and sundry are the chagrins, beatings and embarrass ments to which they are subjected. These activities are called “ pre initial ion." “Hell Week" may seem to be a crisis in the lives of every person initialed into the tireek letter societies. Since the time has not yet become ripe for their decline on the Oregon campus the fraternities have been counselled by President Arnold Bennett Hall to go easy with the rough stuff. It is good advice. The fraternities devise the program of “Jlrll Week" to make the formal initiation ceremony which immediately fol lows stand out impressively in contrast. There is some justi I'ieaiion of this viewpoint but an unrestrained pre-initiation ordeal degrades tin* fraternity, the initiates, and the university. As Hr. Hall points out in a letter to Oregon fraternities, there are usually some rowdies, ruffians, or rough housers w ho cannot “ resist the temptation to beat someone up." As suredly it gives free reign to a low brow “bully spirit." The effect upon the -initiate, as pointed out by Dr. Hall is of questionable value. *<* Those who are sensitive in their instincts, richer in their sense of humor, reared in better taste and endowed with deeper sympathies, “cannot but find bitter disappointment and disillusionment in the horse play of ' Hell »\Veek'." Although the initiate will not belly-ache or reveal an unsportsmanlike attitude in main such instances, he will never forget the re sentment of such processes in becoming a “brother." These antics of pre-initiation week, which are yet prac ticed. though not as commonly as formerly, are reminders of that primitive humor of the good old days when the acme of pep and wit was to incarcerate the “community bovine" in the college chapel or fill the college bell with water or throw eggs at the president of a rival class in meeting. In October ol 1 Ill’S an initiatin' of one of the southern college fraternities was accidently killed during the ceremony of “riding the goat." It was a needless sacrifice. But such an instance, though rare, has come within the experience of a good many students throughout the nation. The days of the campus-wide mill racing parties at Ore gon, during which a gang of sophomores or lettermeu would decide to take the disciplining ol the fraternity members of the freshman class into their own bauds, have “gone for ever. Sooner or later, the practices of “Hell Week" will no longer justify such a designation of pre initiation week. The . ini(tier Ycs!«*rda\ wo saw: .IAMKS SHARI* arrun» ,i jjivoii swrilrr . . .

M. Edition The Emerald is no longer read over the cup of coffee at breakfast time. A survey just finished by this column shows that few houses receive flieir copies before lunch time, and that in most cases reading is postponed until after the evening meal. Several houses employ fast run nel's to sprint down to the Co-op after a few advance copies each morning, but one house reports that even this system cannot be relied upon. Emeralds often reach the Co-op too late for anybody to read on the morning of an eight o'clock class. The colcl spell seems to be broken. Those who are taking courses from i fresh air fiends can knock on wood and be thankful. AUNT DUCKLIE Dear Aunt Ducklie, : How can we get into campus ac tivities? The Phi Delts.

Fifteen Years Ago From Oregon Kmerald, January 20, 1014 After being pursued by a cougar near Spencer’s Butte Sunday eve ning, and spending the night in a tree, a student party consisting of two co-eds and two men reached Eugene late Monday morning. Work on the new Administration building will start in the near fu ture, and the structure will be com pleted in February, llllo. A plan, to advance university credit to varsity and alternate de baters is under consideration by the faculty committee. Twenty-five Years Ago From Oregon Weekly, January 25, 11)04 As a result of the rapid growth of high schools all over the state, the board of regents Tuesday voted ‘to abolish all academic Work from 'the university. Two hundred and eighteen stu dents arc now enrolled in the uni versity, which is an increase of 72 in the "last two years. Three raises in salary were ef fected at the board of regents’ meeting. One was an increase from $1200 to $1400, another $000 to $800, and. the registrar’s salary was raised from $720 to $1)00. 1 HEATERS 4 - JS MCDONALD—“Women They Talk j About,” starring Irene Kick, Audrey Kerris and William Collier.

They hate hotels ami they love home. They are hap piest in a gingham dress!” (And then the actress confided most do mestically that she simply adored making salads). “Anyway, it isn’t just actors who need to worry about jobs,” ex claimed Miss MacLarcn with an im patient little fling of her nervous hands. “Everyone ought to be look ing ahead, and thinking about the future. Why worry about what’s past?” Work—the kind a person really likes to do—is about the best- rem edy for trouble Miss MacLarcn knows. “My work is like a tonic—more than that, almost like wine—for me. I love it, and if I weren’t,able to have it three months out of a year, I couldn't be liappv. My husband understands that and it is one reason we are so happy.” Off the posters, Miss Mac-Laron is Mrs. Ralph l’arlette, of Chicago, wife of the author of “University of Hard Knocks” and other books. “I’ve been imitating since I was a little gill, it’s just a talent 1 hap pen to have,” she said. “I’m much more proud of the play I’ve written, ‘Father and Dad,’ because it is cre ative, and t want to write more.” Gay MacLarcn is a vigorous, very living little woman, mightily inter ested in life as a real, enjoyable and active experience. “Because I was always rebelling •at things and asking ‘why’ my fam ily thought I was queer,” she re lated. “In Sunday school when our teacher asked all of us who loved Christ to raise our hands, I kept mine down, simply because 1 could not see why we were supposed to. I’ve been asking ‘why’ about things | since then.” Directorate Secures Data On Greater Oregon Work (Continued from Page One) Hubbs voiced |iartial opposal let the* plan stating that the personnel of the committee—men or women should be left entirely to the dis cretion of the district chairman who would seek to choose the most cap able students for the work in each city. • Women, however, function well in such an activity, it was ex pressed at the meeting. There are no women members on the director ate at present. TIubbs appealed for suggestions as to how the Greater Oregon commit tee work should be organized next vear and also for recommendations for directorate men for the coming year, in order that the next chair man may have some guide by which .to select his aides.
