Niuhl Editors This Issue-*Evelyn Hartman Sibyl Wcskil Campus Forum— x,?xi.o'li.iuor LET’S HAVE EDITORIALS The concluding o<l i tori a I of the term in Tuesday morning ’s issue or t In- Oregon Kmerald invileil rum niunications from readers ^f Uni paper. Well, lieri’ in inio. I liciiiiily disapprove of t In* Kmeruld policy of abandoning llio oilitorinl i iilninii. A newspaper with out mi editorial section is n news paper without u personality. II is a mere passive institution, support ing nothing, opposing nothing, and interpreting nothing. A newspaper should not lie a mere reeurd of pass ing events, an is too often the ease, but should make an attempt to edi torially interpret those events in their relation In happenings of the past and to their probable* effort in the future. The Kmerald’s policy of inviting communication and common! on the topics and problems of the day is very laudable, but I do not believe that this in itself can lie of any great value. The majority of the readers of the paper a^'e unprepared to give enough thought or research to any question to write a thorough analysis of it. The editorial writer should stand ready to interpret, to criticize, or to reply to any rom lnunieationn which may be submit ted, thereby in one measure gauging the trend of thought of the earn pus. Finally, I believe that there is a, need for critical editorials in the Kmerald. Oregon’s institutions and customs are not perfect. As pro fessor S. K. Smith said the other day, it is too much the tendency nowadays to sit and take things as they come without comment or criticism. Two years ago the edi tori il columns of Vtic Kmerald were devoted to criticism that at least was read and nttrne.ted considerable comment, favorable and unfavor able, here and elsewhere. W. I!. URADES WORTH MONEY? Latest among the fancies of our legislators now in session at Salem is a theory that the grade average of the university students should determine the amount of their fees. 1011 >«’r I Bede, genial legislat lire cor respondent for tlm Uiigene Itogistor and iitlicr state papers, is respon hi dll* for the printing of this hit of rumor in the Ucgister. lie says, “the surest ion Inis been made, and it is the best one heard, that tuition fees lie advanced and. that students lie given a reduction in proportion to their grades. This would tax the laggards and that seems to meet I lie approval of all except the lag gards.” It is well that Mr. Hcde mention ed no names. To attribute such a statement to one of the legislators would, |o say the least, place a plan, in addition to further com plicating the system of checking and maintaining scholastic stan dards, would make the university the home of a financial aristocracy. There is enough preference at the present in favor of students who need not worry about financial mutters. To fit the individual for life is the proper attitude of edu cation. Those nlio would suffer under the proposed system would be those students who work and those who are naturally slow rather •han the laggards who are likely not lo become the most useful citi zens, anyway. I’orhaps we should not consider this little item in the Ucgister very seriously. The sentiment in Halem | may be contained in ftm mind of | one man with whom Mr. Hcde came i in contact rather than any group. W. it. B. T. GIVE IT A CHANCK It gave me a real thrill this morn ing |o find someone on the cam pus with an idea and courage enough to gi\ e j| chance. I don't very often read editorials (their fault, not mine'), but saw the one today because it was on the front page. No doubt I lie Kmerald w ifi hear enusidern Ido comment on ils stand, both tor and against, and I want lo add mv word for not be cause there was anything evil about editorials, but because the I'imer a Id's scheme shows an effort to pull | a wax from conservatism and con i volition.

It, is understood that the asso ciate editors will now concentrate their efforts to driving out all ad vertisements, news matter, and fea tures. This, it is pointed out, will cut down on the expense of ink. It will also automatically eliminate the existing evil of reading the Emerald in classes. (Head-line ill Emerald P. I.

Barnes, professor of history at tho Univer sity of Oregon, “ a quiet man, more prone to reflection and meditation than to flamboyant outburst of bril [ liance for the public eye. I am afraid that there is nothing in my life that would interest tho readers of the Emerald.” “But surely, Mr, Barnes, you have j not always been prone to'deep quiet 1 and undisturbed meditation. How | about your first adventure!” A smile expressing amused bore dom slowly moved tho corner of Mr. Barnes’ lips, slowly spread his i mustache out and up the side of his i face, and at last broke in a laugh that was not of boredom. “A team of horses ran away with , me once. I was about 11 then, and I it was quite a scary experience. I i fell down between the two horses j and had to hang on to whatever ; bits of harness I could grab until ! someone stopped the team. But how could a little thing like that interest anyone but my small daugli ! ter who likes to have me recite the i incident?” “How about your first job, Mr. Barnes? What was the first thing I you did to earn some money ?” “Well, you see,” the history pro fessor replied, “my brothers and I ! did a lot of work at home, but that really doesn’t count, does it? After I was graduated from high school my father thought that I needed some j practical experience before I went ; to college. You see, even then, 'I i —— loved to be quiet ami undisturbed so that 1 could reflect upon life’s little ironies.” Mr. Barnes’ eyes twinkled ns lie said this, and seemed to say, “This is so foolish, this business of dis turbing a man who would live apart from the scramble and bustle of superficial public ambition.” “However,” lie continued, “my first job away from home was working in a wholesale dry goods company as a stock clerk. ! re ceived $4.00 a week, and had to please five bosses and know all the numbers and colors of everything in stock. After Christinas, I got; a raise to $o.00 a week. “1 wasn’t cut out to lie a business man, and my father soon realized that it. would be best to cut my practical experience in the business world short, and let me attend the university.” And now, Professor Barnes is a history disseminator, lie is looking forward to his leave of absence so that lie can more completely secure the undisturbed peace that he wants. “My colleagues,” said Professor Barnes, “are much more interesting people than I. I am sure that they have had adventures that would in terest you a lot.” The history professor turned away, llis eves didn’t twinkle any more. His lips formed a straight line, overshadowed by the mustache that hunched towards the center. His eyes were deep pools; lie was sinking into the deep reflection i lie lows so well.
