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?”

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;

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,

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.

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

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. On the contrary, |
we are determined to work_ harder ]
for the team, and it is determined j
to work harder for us. It is part of j
tlie game to lose, and we will be as !
good losers as we were winners, j
Everyone likes to win, and the stu-|

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.

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 . . . Methiuks T hear a
voice,
A tearing clouds asunder.”
And then, merrily, in the midst
of his more serious poems, he wrote;
There’s nought but care on
every ban ’
In every hour that passes, O!
Wlmt signifies the life o’ man,
Ain’t were 11a for the lasses ()!
Amid Nature sweers, the lovely
dears,
Her Noblest work sbo classes
O!
Her pentice ban’ she tried on
man,
And then she made the lasses,

“In those words, lie was simply
the ‘Bautin, Roving Robin’,“ smiled
^1 r. Campbell. “Ilis fame, however,
is not dependent oil. such jingles, bill
ill could we spare his laughter mak
