Library Steps Farce
Really Tragic
A powerful argument against tin* effectiveness of public
miniIiation for any purpose, whether it be initiation or en
forcement of traditions, was the affair which occurred yester
lav when the neophytes ot Sigma l)elta t hi went through
heir ceremony on the library steps. In this instance, how
ever. il was tlie reaction upon the watchers rattier than the
humiliation of the. individuals on the steps—who, being jour
mlists, were hard to humiliate—that formed the argument.
In the midst of the ceremony a snowball came from some
where. It missed all of the neophytes and provoked a ripple
>f laughter, and since it was the purpose of the initiation to
provoke laughter, it was accepted as a good joke. Others
followed. Kill shortly the joke grew monotonous and the j
.catchers resorted to ice instead of snow and aimed their missiles
lircctly at the speakers instead of above and below.
The result was a cut, which might easily have resulted j
n blindness, over the eye of one initiate and the painful though
inconsequential in jiffy to otlyws. In the efforts of humans to
humiliate their congeners, it seems tlmt they never know when
o stop. Since the student council lias too little social sense to
inter the library step farces abolished, the university admin- j
istration ought to take it upon itself to interfere.
America Is Taking
Another Step Towards War
On I In- floor of the United States Senate in the Capitol
it Washington the eruiser hill is gaining strength. A courageous
ninority of opposition statesmen now realize that this hill pro
riding for 1!> new naval cruisers and one, airplane carrier ang
nenting American national defense will hi' passed—probably
next week.
It is .just another demonstration of the peculiarly aloof
American foreign policy which has characterized every adminis
tration since Wilson’s. b’atifieation of the Kellogg Peace
Pact by our august body of Senators on .January lf> was an
die gesture, a strange interlude after turning down the League
if Nations’ Covenant. One more straw like the cruiser hill may
ultimately break the cornel's hark.
Kor the measure means more armaments in an age when
■nlightcned international opinion opjmses it. The United
■states, already disliked as ‘‘Uncle Shyloek" by many Lurn
peons, is taking an ominous, unnecessarily warlike step which
portends to threaten the peace of the world.
Why must the navy be increased? To provide adequate
defense of our foreign trade, is the usual answer. In reality
the administration is afraid that our naval strength could not,
iinaugmented. successfully compete with the British fleet in
time of war. Such conflict is improbable but decidedly not
unt hinkable.
Obviously our country is pursuing a policy of competitive
armaments in the name of “protection" to foreign trade.
‘Protection" in other matters has not materially fostered
friendly foreign relations. The world wants peace, cries for it;
but will there ever be peace when leading nations of the world
pursue such diabolical policies?
The present crosier bill is an unmistakable gesture of com
mercialism and imperialism.
Significant l> . America, it actually happens, is overlooking,
ignoring, a paramount lesson of the World War; namely, it is
nonchalantly increasing armament which was the principal

Their speeches might not have

The ruthless snowballing of the |

Of course the courteous, apprecia

of humanity who profess to be col

ice packed projectiles of snow hit
a boy in the eye. Happily the eye
was only quite painfully cut. It
might have resulted in blindness,

If such is the quality of judgment

To the Editor:
1 wish to use the Emerald news
columns to extend congratulations.
This year's gold wreath for the
prize boner goes to the gent who
hurled the final snowball in the li
brary steps fiasco yesterday morn

The snowball was a good one, well
aimed and full of good intentions.
The work it did was also good. It
hit the mainspring of the Oregon
basketball team beneath the eye and
gave him a blaek eye, all of which
will not help much when Oregon
clashes with O. 8. C. at Corvallis to
morrow night.

b" poorly were the scores kept
over in Amsterdam, that the Amer
ican team actually took it for
grantor! that they had lost, accord
ing to Hill, until they learned the
truth on their arrival in New York.
The accommodations for training
were very bad. The only track avail
able in Amsterdam, was called the
“experiment track,” because it was
surfaced with a new kind of ma
terial which was being considered
for usi' on the main track.
‘‘The experiment was a failure,”
Hill said, “and we had to take the
sprinters to a place 40 miles awav.”
Another thing that put the Amer
icans, who were no longer in shape
for any great amount of competition
after the strenuous tryouts at Bos
ton, in poor condition was that lie
cause there were 17 nations entered
in the meet, as many as a dozen

Today 'a question: Do you think
that fraternities need house mothers?
Ilenrv Thielsen, freshman in jour
nalism: “1 don’t think they do.
Under the present method of house
management they seem to get along
very well without them.”
Zora Beaman, freshman in sociol
ogy: “I don’t think a house mother
could do much with a group of boys.
1 think the present system is satis-,
factory.”
David Wilson, freshman in jour
nalism: “I think it would be nice
to have house mothers around the
house in the afternoon and evenings.
It would facilitate social functions."”
Frances Wood, senior in music:
■’I think men in college learn a lot
without the guiding influence of a
house mother, but i'll admit that
some of them would benefit by Inn -
ing a woman about.” *
Ovc McCrary, junior in biology:
“I don't think so—- they have never
had them and they are probably
old enough to take care of them
selves by the time they reach col
lege.”

Gentlemen:
About five years ago, after trying
out many different styles of pipes
from the Missouri meerschaum to the
genuine meerschaum, including the
upside-down style made popular by
Vice-President Dawes, and experi
menting with just about all the to
baccos then on the market, except,
Edgeworth, I finally decided thatpipe
smoking was not for me.
For the last year or so I noticed t he
boys around the office here using
Edgeworth to the exclusion of all
other tobaccos and evidently getting
real pleasure from their pipes.
In April of this year I was tn C anada
on a business trip and decided to take
another whirl at pipe-smoking. So 1
invested a good share of my sayings
in a pipe and a few cents additional
for a can of Edgeworth.
From then on I have been figura
tively kicking myself around the .block
about once each day when I think of
the five lean years I put in trying to
get along without a pipe. However, I
am trying to make up for lost time
and am succeeding quite well. Why
I failed to try Edgew'orth long ago will
have to go down in history as an
unsolved question. But now that I
have found it, the years ahead look
rosy to me.
Very truly yours,
Ben Bayer
