Night Editors This Issue—Alyce Cook K Gracemary Rickman Realistic Speakers To Be Encouraged No assembly address of I lie present school year lias stimu lated as much thought, attracted as universal attention, drawn such emotional reactions, as that of Ham (Jralhwall’s last week. Emerald communication columns have been crowded with minions from Chinese students on the campus excoriating the uldress. The administration has even gone so far as to sug gest extreme caution be exercised in the future before bringing inch a radical speaker as was Mr. (Jratbwell to Oregon. The Emerald editorial declared that facts as presented by Mr. (irathwrll were correct but one sided. We feel that it would lie altogether unwise to restrict freedom of speech on the part of any lecturer who is available to address students, the intimated desire of certain administration officials. Students have the right to hear any and every side of such ipiestions. Objections to statements made by Urathvvell have thrown additional light on the issue of whether China is a ‘vision or a nightmare.” emphasizing the “vision.” Any attempt to limit assembly speakers only to those who are conventional, orthodox portrayers of beautiful, idealistic pictures of life in this world would be decidedly unfortunate. Men like (irathwrll, perhaps holding an unpopular opin ion, along with other stimulating speakers with more hopeful, more approving messages, should be heard from at a university if nowhere else. As Milton (pieried in his Areopagitica, 1G44, “when was truth ever known to be bested in any controversial matter?” Brittfte; Education's Antirachitic (Rickets) Bridge is I><■*•<»111ii»<^ a iiiislinit' so universal Hint it is with difficulty I lint ils iiionI violent oppoiu-nts avoid it. When ever one linns one finds bridge in restaurants, pullman eiirs, beaches, drawing rooms' kilelieiis, liolels, hospitals, traler nities, sororities. Wind is there about bridge Unit {fives il suidi an intense interest for so large and varied a group? This question evidently worried Mr. Henry (loddard Leach, editor of the Forum, for the danuary issue of liis magazine devotes several pages exclusively to this national anathema. (It is only fair to state that we are prejudiced.) The article is a sympo sium of well known writers and public men. Among them is Walter B. Bitkin, associate editor of the Kueyclopedia Britan uica. lie says: “There is more prosperity and there is an astonishing in crease in the number of people who don I know how to use their leisure time. I think it (the present mania for bridge) is a sign that the people of the United States are in the pre dicament of being all dressed up and having no place to go.’’ Mr. Bitkin has rung the bell. More people have more leisure time in prosperous America today than ever before. They are, however, members of a society in which the emphasis is eco nomic. They are educated and devote most of their energies toward some form of economic endeavor. They have not de veloped personality only proficiency. The result has been economic success and, as a consequence, more leisure. What to do with the newly acquired leisure lime? Bridge, a mechanical contrivance little more than a lest of attention and endurance answers the need Insisting al most wholly upon externals, bridge requires nothing that on enjoyment of good reading or intellectual conversation de mands. Mr. Bitkin goes on to say: “I will grant you that most bridge players, if compelled to sit around and converse would end by going right back to talking the day s business, or they would gossip about their neighbors and never really indulge in conversation. If bridge serves to keep them from back stairs gossip and slander, l should say it is a very fjqe institution." Bridge, then, is a mediocre method of passing time. It is a recreation. Mr. Schuster, famous publisher, asks: “II they are having such a good time, why do they wear such ferocious or melancholy expressions while they are play ing?" And to Mr. Bitkin once more, for the answer: “ . . . the trouble with all games in the Bailed Stales is that people always lake them seriously. They go into these blooming things as if they were business.’' Berhaps the time is at hand when America will realize that wealth is pointless unless il can be exchanged for some thing enjoyable. Will American education cease to stress the vocational and emphasize the development of the individual's capacity lor enjoying the best in Ijtet Ur will it continue to make turn so successful that he is doomed to a life ol bridge; The Ambler Yesterday we saw: PALM 1011 sell LKdKL iu Ins pa jamas . . .

A BKTil MARI TUUUR UlBliLlii blu.lurg Alumni Hear Latest Growths S Of University I Well-wishing Mothers Cause Embarrassment By Infirmary Wants By RICHARD SYRING STATE CAPITOL, Bale m, Jan. 28.--(Bpccial)-Alumni, Oregon Dads and friends of the university met last Thursday evening at a dinner meeting at the Gray Bell restaurant i in this city to listen to Dr. Arnold Jlennett Hall, university president, tell of the growth and development of the Wehfoot institution. Heated around small tables in tho I banquet room were men, wno as stu | dents in undergraduate days had starred and scintillated on the grid iron, track or maple court; others were recent graduates; some Dads of stiplents now attending the uni versity, and others, legislators inter ested in the welfare of the Univer sity of Oregon. Explaining that he realized that the state legislature was convening for “10 days and -10 nights” and that he had no building appropria tion bill to introduce, Dr. Hall, in a brief and comprehensive talk, told of the university’s growth and needs that have been incurred from such a rapid advancement. * * * . L Burr BrU'vn Barker, vice-presi j dent of the university, gave a short talk, preceding that of Dr. Hall’s, i Among the prominent alumni of the ;!0 some gathered were Judge Edwin O. Potter, ’87, of Eugene; E. H. i Young, ’It, past alumni proxy; Ben ator Edward K. Bailey, ’El, of Junc tion City; Representative Charles W. (Beauty) Robinson, ’El, famous old-time yell king, and George W. : Hug, *il7, superintendent of Salem public schools. Tin* embarrassing situation forced upon university officials, when a committee of Portland women motlif ers of students at the University of Oregon, announce*! its intentions of filing a resolution with Governor Patterson and individual members of the legislature asking that $50,000 bo appropriated for a new infirim I ar.v at the university, contingent ! upon the raising of $50,000 by pre I vate subscription, goes merrily on. Apparently the women have decided to follow out their original inten tions. Last Wednesday found a largo group of women lobbyists, members of the “third house,V at the capitol, arguing tooth and nail in favor of ! a. new infirmary. The joker in the ! situation then appeared in their fail ure to find a legislator to introduce the $50,000 appropriation bill, which ! must originate in |he I Joust* of Rop | reselltat ives. Legislative mails have j been crowded with letters from por tents of Oregon. students urging that j favorable action be taken on the ; proposed bill. A bill will be intro I duced 11)is week, it is understood, j Because of the recent agreement | between Oregon and Oregon *State ! boa ills of regents not to ask for new buildings this year, Oregon officials i have made no stand in favor of the j proposed bill. It would be ridiculous to assume that anyone familiar with conditions existing on the campus would not be delighted should sueh a bill pass, but representatives of the university have shown prefer ence for living up to their agree ment, and any action made in this regard, will be due alone to the ue livitv of Oregon parents, * X X The position of reading clerk in j the 11oii$e of Representatives seems to have become a permanent honor ' for a University of Oregon gradu ate. This year the clerk is Miss R.nbv Russell, daughter of Represcn ■lalive Walter YY. Russel] of McMinn I ville, who finished her academic work at the university lu$t term. She is affiliated with Gamma Xu sorority. The position was held down two \ ears’ ago by Her! Gooding, for liter football player, and member of I’si Kappa fraternity. To Representative A. V. Swift of Laker, student at the University of Oregon in I^Oti -07-0S, goes the honon of being the most widely traveled i man in the legislature. 1’erhaps it would be safe to say in Oregon, following thr theory “See America first,*' the Laker county represeu-. tutive has traveled in every county . of livery state in the union. “It took me over L'O years and the more 1 traveled the better 1 like Oregon," he said proudly. Collegiate cars, those $10 four wheel bargains, will be somewhat af-i feet oil iu the proposed license re vision. The report of the special license revision committee of the Senate of which Ured Kiddle, Ore gon 17, was chairman, calls for a flat license fee for aU cars under I ,T00 pounds. This will probably .affect nearly e\er\ “ junk pile spe • ial" on the Oregon campus, since the report of the committee is a! j most certain to be incorporated in a bill. Automobiles weighing over, l,TOO and not over 11,000 pounds would pax OOc per hundred weight or part th-*roof; those weighing over • »,000 and not over 1,500 pounds at $1 per hundred weight, and cars v m ighieg over 4,5'JU pcuuds. $1.10 per liunlire'll weight, under the pro visions of the report. * * •* George H.

Students Scoff at Proposal For New Basketball Coach (Continued from Page One) Billy Reinhart as a coach, and what ever happened to the team on its trip north, it is certain that the cause of tlie failures was something i other than coaching. As Mr. Gregory says, it looks like a great chance for Oregon—not *i chance to start “howling,” but a chance to show that an excellent record for five years cannot be wiped out in a half season. ' * * * Joe McKeowu, president of tHo j Oregon student body, reflects the spirit of the campus: “The students at Oregon are be hind their basketball team 11'0 per cent, and will be until the end of the season. We have all eagerly watched the results of the games1 played on the northern trip, and are i not discouraged.

This Smoke \ Aids Artist To Nab Ideas Independence, Mo. June 24, 192S. Lams & Brother Co., Richmond, Ya. Dear Sirs: Perhaps you would like to know in < just a word or so how I am in partners with Edgeworth in a business way. By profession I am a cartoonist, j who you probably know is called upon to create new ideas. While this is ranked as the hardest part of the pro fession, I have proved it may easily j bp mastered, if a person will but recline in any easy chair, light a pipe, and live with imaginative persons in : the aromatic smoke clouds that will soon till the room. Edgeworth has given me more ideas than any other! brand of tobacco, so I “married” my pipe to it quite a while ago. The result has been wonderful. The more you use Edgeworth, the more you crave it not as a drug, but as a wholesome pleasure. Complimenting the standard qual ity (.which means more than the words signify) of Edgeworth, I am a devoted and profound user. Yours very respectfully. James W. Bright Edgeworth Extra High Grade Smokiug Tobacco aftermost darkness, lie would at least do it like a. gentleman, and express l»is regret at the painful necessity forced upon him. “I do not ask or wonder if Burns made Scotland and better, but I do know that he made her merrier, which was sorely "needed among the peasantry, whose whole thoughts and concerns were taken up with their fight for daily bread and their quest for eternal salvation.” He treated with “mockery and laughter his hereditary adversary, the ancient devil; made love songs, lyrical and tender to women near and afar off; to sweethearts dead and alive. He cursed the toothache in time-and rhyme, and pitied the wounded hare. Sympathized with the homeless mouse, and broke into matchless sung over a downtrodden daisy. He wrote of his wife, seemingly another Mrs. Jiggs, in a moment of bitter-! ness: “I married with a scolding wife, The fourteenth of November, She made me weary of my life, By one unruly member. Long did 1 bear the heavy yoke, And many griefs attended, lint to my comfort be it spoke, •Now, now her life is ended. Her body is bestowed well,— A handsome grave docs hide her, But sure her soul is not in Hell, The Devil would ne’er abide her! Dor why . . .
