Niulit Editors This Issue—Jean Carman Dave Toiton Silent Cal on the Standards Of the Collegian Said President Uoolidge: “Two great tests in mental dis cipline are accuracy and honesty. It is far better to master a lew subjects thoroughly than to have a mass of generaliza tions about many subjects. The world will have little use for those who are right only a part of the time. Whatever may be the standards of the classroom, practical life will require something more than (it) per cent or 70 per cent for a passing mark. The standards of the world are not like those set by the faculty, but more closely resemble those set by the student body themselves. They are not at all content with a member of the musical organizations whfi can strike only 90 per cent of the notes. They do not tolerate the man on the diamond who catches only SO per cent of the balls. The standards which the student body set are high. They want accuracy that is well nigh complete. They apply the same standards to candor and honesty. Bluff and pretense may be permitted in the class room; but in their relations with each other students regard such practices with contempt, and those who resort to them are properly considered to lie cheap. They may be willing to view with considerable tolerance those who break the rules of the school, but they will not fail to mete out condemnation and penalty to those who break the rules of training. When the world holds its examinations it will require tin- same standards ol accuracy and honesty which student bodies impose upon themselves. Unless the mind is brought under such training and discipline as will enable it to acquire these standards at an early period, the grave danger increases that they may never be acquired.” And, though if is a well-known fact that the president is always wrong, for once, we say, Silent Cal uttered a mouthful. ‘ imc^uirimc RCrORTtR 1 c\ah J Today 's question: Wind do yon think about wearing derides on the rumpus ? Floral Flanigan, junior in aid: “ 1 think they are silly. They don't look collegiate and the west isn't the place for them.” Maynard Hell, junior in law: "I think that derbies on fttin campus would be out of place, because the derby does not correspond with campus clothes.” Harriet.tr Holland, junior in In terior decorating: "I think they are nothing but a fad and that the men should be able to indulge in fads as well as women.” Robert. Allen, freshman in jour nalism: "I think they are the bunk! Just like plus fours hide a man’s shapely pegs, so does the derby cover the block.” Jane ('arson, freshman in biology: ”t think they urn foolish because they aren't at all appropriate for the campus. Herbies are all right in their place, but this isn't the place.” Walk on Air? Einstein's Theory Held Ridiculous Here (Continued from (hir) matically we can handle the prob lems of infinity, but we never reach such things physically. The mathe matical relations are correct, but we just can't do it. "Of course you can criticize me by saying tlial if I had lived in the time of Jules Verne 1 would have , criticized the things he prophesied. I’eopte thought his heroes were do jug tin impossible, like taking a ' trip around the world in Mo days, , tmt now they are every-day occur- i rences. ” Dr. Caswell’s Belief , Dr. V. Id.

Hotter, formerly of the Oregon Supreme Court bench; and Judge Calvin Gan tenbein, formerly dean of the uni versity law school and at present a circuit court judge in Portland are all charter members of the local chapter. 1 Other alumni who are well known throughout the state are: Jfu'lgc !■ Kavanaugh, Judge McGinn, Judge Tazwell, Judge Harris, Carlton Spen cer member of the faculty; Bert E. Haney, former district attorney; Lester W. Humphreys, Dan Ma ilarkev, Paul S. Dick, Ben L. Eddy, and William Fenton, who gave the law school most of its comprehensive , library.

Move to Construct Cruisers j (Continued from Page One) ed to lose his third presidential elec tion. “The inconsistency of it all is entirely beyond my comprehension,” ho admitted. “Apparently these peace treaties are taken seriously only among the general public. Con gress is obviously still influenced by the bugaboo of war, and by pre 1914 principles of statecraft. Need Faith in Nations “When we begin to have a little real faith in our neighbors, then we will begin to develop the right in ternational attitude,” he said. “I hope that someday the American public and their legislators will feel free to believe the people of England when they say that they do not in tend to entef^into cruiser competi tion with us. When that time comes, [ perhaps Congress will cease making itself the laughing stock of the world ! by such actions as this one.” Mr. Howard grew even more spe-! eifie. at this point. “There is no other nation except England Oa God’s green earth against which we could be building a navy,” lie sug gested. “It isn’t . Japan,—they’re ! broke, and unless it’s Liberia or Denmark we are afraid of, who could it be? Fowler V. Harper is just as uii •ompromising as Mr. Howard. “I - hiuk that the cruiser bill is an ab solutely indefensible measure at any time, and to push it just after rati fying the Kellogg treaty seems to me to make a farce of this coun try’s position in the eyes of the i world,” he said. “The two are ob- \ viously inconsistent and no excuse or rationalization can possibly recon cile them. “The whole action,” he went on, “is based on a fallacy which the military powers have foisted off on the people for so long that a large proportion have come to believe it— ' the fallacy the best way to stay out j of war is to be amply prepared for j it, a proposition that will not stand ! up under the critical scrutiny of a j ten-year-old child.” No Need for Big Navy “To get down to cold hard facts,” Ha per said, “the United States has strategically speaking, a stronger navy than Great Britain right now. A nation having as many widely scattered posts to defend as England lias, needs a much larger navy than ve have to l)e on actual parity with is. “Prevention of war must bo ac complished by a gradual evolution ary process of education and re form. Bills such as this simply des troy all the confidence and trust which other nations have in us.” Mr. Gavit is inclined to consider the question more from the political viewpoint. “The Republican admin istration is decidedly militaristic in policy,” he said, “but there is so much sentiment among its consti tuency agaitji'iit 'war that Hoover had to commit himself to a pacifist program. “Ho instead of tactfully waiting until the next session of Congress before bringing up this bill, tho party leaders are forced to push it now while Coolidge is still in tlie presidential chair, in order that Hoover may be spared the pain of having to break a campaign pro mise.” PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Alpha tlpsilon announces tho pledging of Harold Kcster of Pilot Rock.
