Thu issues ill question have heen brought to the direct at tention of those students most vitally interested by reading at the regular meeting of the student body last Thursday. T h o proposed ainendmeiits were later published in the hlmerald, with some explana tion of their aims. Still later an explanatory statement was Issued by the committee m charge ol’ constitutional revi sion and was printed in the Emerald. Tomorrow the text of the suggested changes will again be printed. There need be no voting blindly on the issues. Then' are five of them. Of particular importance are the suggestions that the student council be limited in member ship and that the editors of the Oregana and the Kmerald be appointive. Tin1 other recoin j memlalions, equally advisable, perhaps are of less importance to tin' student body at large., As a whole the proposed am ; eiidnieiits are w or! by of at least a thorough reading. Promoting True Aims of University TTAX il over occurred to you dear reader. Ilmt n univ cr site is nliout the only itisliln I ion maintained in American , society in which the arts and letters play fully as important I parts as the ability to sell silk ' socks and washing machines’’! Where else, in any appreciable degree, can you find culture! and literature emphasized? lsj not the fundamental aim^ofj university training that of mas j tering the art of living? Many a time the remark is! overheard that nothing practi 1 eal is ever taught in the uni j versify. “Oh”, how I wish I could get through with all this! rigamarole. take my sheepskin and learn something practical.’’! is the complaint often made. | Such people suffer under a! misapprehension that the uni j versify must prov ide the exact I technical training to fit every individual into some parlieu I lar line of economic act i\ if_\. j This is not t he essence of a college education. No. indeed. College professors are often unjustly accused of being old “fogies ’ who do not know! enough to succeed in practical! business tile. Those who ecu j sor instructors after this man nor I'ftil to realize 1 hat tiluir main object is to induce stu dents to think. In view of these considera tions, it may be clearly seen that the program of interna tional Week for the enjoyment of the general student body is .directly in keeping with (lie basic aim of university edu ration. If American students perceive the fact that other na tions than their own arc rep resented in tile life of tin' uni versity—they will have gone a long way in developing an in terest in world affairs. Perhaps one young man for young woman) can enlarge his range of interests, widen his field of vision, lift ids eyes over the horizon to the neigh boring nations across the seas which are the fatherlands of several Oregon students. May be some event on the program starting tomorrow with the In ternational banquet, will stimu late an idea as to a business op portunity, or arouse a desire to travel temporarily away from “the laud of the setting sun." If so, the extensive work of preparation for a beautiful, in inspiring, and friendly Interna tional Week on the campus will not hi' in vain.

It requires no vivid imagin ation to see the irony in the whole a I fa if. Here is one group, or rather four groups, striv ing w ith all which is w itii in them to promote a spirit of tricudsliip and of understand nm between tin I’uited States . \ and her neighbors. Here is1 another group whose purpose eau be but one tiling, despite claims to the contrary, the fos tering of a spirit of militarism, of the belief that right inevi tably makes might. From such a line of thought as this the eternal question of “Why is the ft. 0. T. ('.?” in evitably arises. That is a ques tion that has been often an swered by the proponents of the institution, but never in a way that fails to lapse into generalities and adages. “The ft. O. T. C. is necessary; to provide an adequate system j of defense” say some, and yet the United States today has a military force, active and re serve, no less than twice as strong as was ever the ease be fore in peace time, despite the peace conferences and anti-war treaties which have been pro pounded in the past ten years. “The ft. O. T. C. produces in the youth of the country a sense of patriotism, of cour tesy, and manliness,” contend others, hid anyone who ever served a term as an underclass cadet, in the Oregon institution will laugh that statement to j scorn. Other benefits such as phy sical exercise and mental disci pline are cited bv the support ers of the ft. 6. T. (!., bid j there is not yne of these argil-1 ments that will hold the pro verbial water. The ft. O. T.‘C. exists at Oregon today as a hang-over of the (treat: War. Nine of every ten students who enroll for miliilary training do so be cause it is a university require ment not to be set aside with out special permission. The next thing done by the univer sity toward improving the standards of the institution should he the relegation of the ft. O. T. ('. unit to its place among the other relies of the Great War. ...... 1 CAMPUS/ ■fCRUIVt^ ’i'o tin* editor: 1 notieed that during the past week you had made a futile series of protests against the tradition of warming the trousgjs of offending, frosli. For some reason you stopped your protests and devoted your col umns to other less valuable topics. Being closely connected with both freshmen and their opponents, J be lieve myself capable of making a few valid statements. First, the idea of paddling was first develop ed to teach, or rather to correct, erring frosli. II no longer has that as its primary purpose as may lie seen in I he following assentations. They need no proof, for those res ponsible for the upholding of the custom cannot honestly deny them. Oregon Knights bring freshmen before the Order id' “O” men for punishment regardless of whether or not the frosli has broken the ethics of his group. In other words freshmen innocent of wrong are pun ished “in the best of fun,” as it is called, while other freshmen guilty of not wearing lids and of other similar felonies stroll the campus every day. Obviously, there is prejudice, favoritism, discrimina tion, and the like. I.ct the Oregon Knights and Order of "O” men deny that innocent parties are brought | before them and that there are no I freshmen who are not punished for breaking t he I radii ions. It may lie argued that freshmen not wearing lids will be and have been punished. If they have been punished for similar offences, does this not indicate the futility of "pants w.inning” ? Then, too, are not some freshmen repeatedly brought before the Order of “O” regardless of offense.’ Another evidence which indicates to me tliit the primary purpose of the library steps is not punish ment but pleasure, is the fact that freshmen not previously punished by wielding a paddle on him are brought up before the mighty power of the Oregon tradition keepers regardless of guilt. Mr. Kditor, v on have written on | the subject time and time again, but you have never written to the men responsible for the keeping up ot this worn-out, despised, barbaric “tradition. Is it fair to furnish pleasure to such men at the expense' of certain f reshmeii.’ Is it fair to! puuisli innocent individuals while, gjdltv ones look on and laugh? The next time a freshman gets an un Usually hard wallop notice (lie re action of the audience to the action | of the gladiators—the Order of “O” men. A bld lUaM'. rI.EDGING ANNOUNCEMENT I lio \\. 1'.

By OSBORNE HOLLAND Thu World War has been a fav orite locale for motion picture pro ductions ever since the smoke of battle drifted from no man’s land, but few war pictures have offered such a variety of entertainment as “Lilac Time,” now at the McDon ald. Gary Cooper and Colleen Moore realty excel their former suc cesses and give the picture a niche of its own in Hollywood’s hall of fame. The battle scenes are quite real istic for the screen although they do have the earmarks of Wild West holdups and other Diamond Dick episodes. However, in spite of the obvious slipups and property fakes, there is a touch of reality not found in the usual run of cinema. The characters are oxcellnutly cast and compare favorably with the stars themselves, but strangely enough, there is no member in the support ing cast who surpasses the others. Perhaps the outstanding part of “Lilac. Time” is the almost irre sistalde emotional appeal of the lov er’s romance and the effect of the theme song, “denuine I Dream of Lilac Time,” which is perfectly synchronized with the action. Laugh ter abounds in the first half of the picture, but only the most blase leave the theater dry eyed. This Week’s Program MCDONALD—Tuesday and Wed nesday, “Lilac Time,” starring Col leen Moore and Gary Cooper; Thursday, Friday and Saturday, “The Girl on the Barge,” with Sally O’Xiel, Jean llersholt and Malcolm McGregor.

Then, he believes, they might not be so anxious to have it. Of the Japanese he says, “I think that it was an unnecessary insult to their pride to exclude them from our country.” In regard to China, he says, “China has been treated as if she were inferior, but China is progres sing now towards equality with other nations. Just as soon as the rev dution is at an end and her gov ernment is stabilized her complete independence will come about and I think that the United States will be the first to recognize it.” WHAT . ~ They Say | Ml K BEST wiiie in the world is found in England.

Charlotte Donnelly at the Y. M. C. A. hut. Vacationist Finds This Smoke O.K. Eric, Pennsylvania Sept. 25, 1923 Earns & Brother Company Richmond, Va. Dear Sirs: Having just returned from my fishing camp in northern Ontario, and in the reflections upon a fortnight of most excellent weather, wonderful fishing and complete camp comfort, I feel that an appreciation of Edgeworth is due, as one of the principal factors of ^ our enjoyment. In past years, I have taken along a supply of various well-known brands of smoking tobacco, never having be come fully acquainted with the differ— | ence in the smoking qualities of the so-called high-grade tobaccos now ! upon the market, and acting upon a I tip from an old smoker friend, and as ; a matter of convenience in packing, ! this year I took along a dozen tins of Edgeworth Plug Slice. There are no places nor conditions in existence where the contentment drawn from a briar pipe meets with keener enjoyment or more critical analysis than beside the camp-fire after a strenuous day in the great outdoors. It is the unanimous opinion of the smokers among my party that Edge worth is without a peer, and that its smoothness, fragrance and fine smok ing qualities are unsurpassed and un matched: and I thank you for making it possible to obtain it. Yours truly, (Signed) H. N. Curtiss Edgeworth > Extra High Grade Smoking Tobacco n»iv THE PH.EMii.iM THE slight premium you pay for Ethyl over ordinary gasoline, represents the actual tost of the Ethyl fluid added to the gaso line and is not really an added cost when you realize that it is quickly returned to you in reduced operating costs and lessened depreciation—plus vastly improved motor performance! Fifty of the greatest oil companies in the wortd'purchase ETHYL brand of anti-knock compound to add to their gasoline, because they know it is the only genuine anti knock, high compression ingredient that is commercially practical. Developed after seten years of intensive research, the expenditure of vast Sums of money and the testing of more than 35,000 sep arate chemical compounds, Ethyl has made it possible to develop the modern high compression motor for ever)day commercial use. The increased speed and power, added smoothness and flexibility, the reduced fuel consumption and lowered operating costs that go with high compression are possible oat) because of E:h)l The tremendous success ot Ethyl gasoline, and the tact that it costs a tew cents more to produce, has brought man\ imitators, mirk eting so-called high compression gasolines, totally interior in qualify and results. Insist on genuine Ethyl—sold only by authorized div tnbutors from pumps that bear the Ethyl trade mark. * r / Authorized Pacific Coa<t Licensees of ETHYL Brand of Anti, birch Compound. - * ASSOCIATED OIL COMPANY * *• * RICHFIELD OIL COMPANY • - * STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA * * * UNION OIL COMPANY
