Status Defined
Emerald Editor Exempted
While Three Other
Offices Hit
•Tiist what constitutes n fifth year
student, ineligible under tlie con
stitution of the associated students
of the University of Oregon to hold
office in the student body, has been
decided by a committee appointed
recently by tin* executive council in
answer to a number of requests that
X the meaning of the constitution be
cleared. Decision of the committee
was made public by .Toe McKeown,
student body president, yesterday.
The constitution definitely limits
the three highest offices of the
associated students—president, vice
president and secretary—to students
of the junior and senior classes of
the following year. The committee’s
interpretation of this was that can
didates for those offices must have
a total of 9.'! term hours of credit
and must not. have more tliah 140
term hours of credit. The report
further emphasized the fact that
students should not be eligible who
should at any time in the course of
their year in office attain graduate
standing, carrying the normal load.
Hubbs, Deininger Hit
- Tlio only two students prominent
ly mentioned ns candidates who will
lie affected by the interpretation
of the committee, according to a
check made by the Emerald
yesterday, will lie Ron Hubbs,
who has been rumored as probable
candidate for student body presi
dent, and Diana Deininger, who has
been considered a certain nominee
* for secretary. Both will have at
tained graduate - standing, carrying
a normal load, before the end of
next year.
At least one and probably two
candidates for tbs office of editor
of the Oregon Daily Emerald would
have been likewise affected, had
not the committee failed to mention
that office in its report. This
failure was due probably to Article
II, Section 1, of the constitution
which reads: “The officers of this
association shall be a president, a
vice-president, a secretary, a trea
surer and a graduate manager, all
of whom excepting the graduate
manager and treasurer, shall be
chosen from the junior and senior
classes of the following year.”
The report in full:
Members of the executive council:
“The committee appointed by the
executive council consisting of Pro
fessors Bernard 0. Gavit, II. C.

J. Garvan Speaks
On Subject of
Life Interest
‘Our Philippine Pygmies’
Title of Illustrated
Slide Lecture
The last lecture under the aus
pices of the associated students
was given last night in the Wom
an’s building by John Garvan, who
for -a years has studied, explored
and written about the Philippine
Islands. His subject was “Our
Philippine Pygmies.”
In his extensive travels among
these little folk, Mr. Garvan observ
ed many peetiliar racial traits among
them which do not exist in any
other race. The pygmies are the
nearest thing to animals that exist.
They are homeless, landless, an/,
utterly lacking in any sort of mod
ern form of living, but 'instead
they still live in an extremely prirn
itve manner.
But in spite of the fact that they
are so-low in living standards, they,
are a very peaceful people, "they
observe almost strict monogamy,
have* a form of art although it is
crude. Their religion is that of
ancester worship. They are govern
ed by the elder/men of the tribe,
with this type they have achieved
a happy state of contentment, which
they would not give up for any
other type.
Mr. Garvan used in his lecture a
large number of (well illustrated
slides, which brought out most clear
ly and realistically the state in
which the pygmies live.

Neil Taylor, a sophomore in jour
nalism and a member of the Emer
ald staff, has been appointed editor
of tile “Emerald Book.”
1 he idea was suggested by Amos

and a respect for the Emerald’s age
and influence as'a ‘disseminator of

Held Exciting Event
The hatreds, fears and jealousies
among the various countries were
not ended by the world war, but
chasms still exist between people
of different countries, Frances War
neoke, junior of the University of
California and visitor on the Ore
gon campus, declared in a talk at
the tea given at the Y. W. C. A.
bungalow yesterday afternoon as a
feature of International Week.
Closer relationships, however, were
established by the World Student
Christian federation convention
held in Mysore, India, last Decem
ber where between 25 and 30 na
tionalities were represented. Such
a convention convenes every two
years, and the next one will be in
the United States.
Miss Warnecke was one of the
three women delegates from the
United States. She arrived in this
country ten days ago and is on
her way back to California.
Received by Peer
Being received by His Highness,
the Maharajah of Mysore, was an
exciting experience, according to
Miss Warnecke. The court barber
compelled lier to have her hair cut
before being presented. The stu
dents were first given instructions
as to the custom of bowing when
the maharajah entered the room
or arose from his chair. They were
seated on maroon colored and gold
chairs, and at one end of the loom
were the royal women behind filmy
screens who could watch the visitors
but who could not be seen by other
people. The rajah was dressed in
an elaborate cpstume which was
decorated with many diamonds.
Miss Warnecke told of some of
her experiences in India and of the
trip over to that country.
Roy Akagi, Japanese educator,
was also a guest of honor for the
afternoon.
Miss Villager Plays
Music was furnished by Dorothy
Villigcr, violin, and Leone Barlow,
piano, and by Frances Jordan and
Eunice Payne. Mildred McGee was
in charge of the tea, with Gracia
Haggerty chairman of the receiv
ing committee, and Lois Nelson and
Dorothy Hallin in charge of serv
ing. Dorothy Jones was in charge
of the kitchen.
Hostesses for the afternoon were

Open to all.
Dr. Roy H. Akagi, general field
secretary of the Japanese Students
Christian association in America,
who is now working on the Pacific
coast for the Friendly Relations
committee of the national Y. M. C.
A., was the principal speaker for
the second .day of International
Week, proposed by the Oregon Daily
Emerald and sponsored by the Y.
M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and the Cos
mopolitan and International Rela
tions clubs.
I)r. Akagi spoke last night at Vil
lard hall on “Dominant Problems
of the Pacific.” “Most people are
thinking in terms of Europe when
they think of internationalism,”
Dr. Akagi said, “but the whole
world is coming to know more about
the problems of the Pacific than
ever.” ♦
That we are now facing a Pacific
era as foreseen by Roosevelt was
repeatedly brought out by the
speaker. “The Great War was the
last note in the Atlantic era of
civilization. In 11)14, the same year
that marked the start of the decline
of the Atlantic period, the opening
the Panama canal issued in the
dawning Pacific era.”
“It is hard to generalize and say
this is the problem of the Pacific,”
Dr. Akagi said, “but there are sev
eral dominant and unique problems
that face us.” These the speaker J
listed as: rediscovered nationalism,
the problem of population and food
supply, the problem of race rela
tionships, peace, religion, and civil
izations.
Control of countries such as China,
the Philippines, and Korea, by out
side nations stifles their national
ism, Dr. Akagi stated. “All the
political, social, economic, and in
tellectual revolutions will combine
to build a rediscovered nationalism.
“The problem of population and

Bovard, Sheldon
Leave to Attend
Board’s Meeting
New Schopl of Religion
To Be Discussed’
In Portland
State Money Not to Figure
In Finance Plan
John F. Bovnrd, dean of the
school of physical education and
II. I). Sheldon, dean of the school
of education, left last night for
Portland, where they will attend a
meeting of the officers of the board
of trustees for the proposed school
of religion, which they hope to in
augurate here next fall.
Dean Sheldon is chairman of the
board of trustees, and Dean Bovnrd
is secretary. Frederick Strong,
treasurer Max Kahn and .1. C. Eng
lish, vice-presidents, will meet with
them this noon in Portland.
“The purpose of this meeting is
to discuss ways and means of intro
ducing a school of religion here on
the campus,” said Dean Sheld-on yes
terday. “When we of the executive
committee have decided upon some
plan of finance and organization
we will refer it to the board of
trustees and in turn to the general
board for approval.
“This school will not be support
ed by state money. We plan to
finance it by means of contributions
from religious organizations and
private citizens.
“Under the plan of organization
which we worked out last winter,
the school will be under the control
of a general board, half of its mem
bers to be appointed by the churches
and half by the president of the
university. Each Church denomina
tion which wishes to come in with
us is allowed two members to the
general board.
“The general board thus created
has elected a board of trustees, the
officers of which form the execu
tive council which is meeting to
morrow.
Although the proposed school of
religion will not bo' directly affil
iate I with the university, the Ugli
est university standards will be
used in the selection of curricula
and faculty, according to Sheldon.
“We will employ only instructors
holding Pli.D. degrees,” he said.
“The courses will be confined to the
general subjects of the history and
philosophy of religion.”

by the various houses of the earn
pus should be completed by this
time. The titles of the floats and
a brief summary of the idea must

Conformity and Critical
Spirit Attitudes Taken
By Individuals
-
By Margaret Reid
<-Iu tin' future the uso of force
will he recognized ns immoral,” said
Dr. Harold Leonard Bowman, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church in
Portland, Oregon, in an address be
fore the assembly Thursday morn
ing on “Morality — Whence and
Whither?” To think with the stu
dents on the changing attitude to
ward the subject of morality and
the bearing of religion on that atti
tude was his purpose, ho stated.
- bThere was a time when the
young people accepted the moral
code handed to them by their eld
ers, a moral code that was a remedy
for all ills, guaranteed never to rip,
wear, tear, or run down at the
heels; was 1)9 44-100 pci* cent pure,
ill wool and a yard wide. They ac
cepted it without questioning. But
now the young people ask ‘why,’
and the old people are horrified that
they should want to know.
Truth Best Buie «
“The reason that so many people
ire/sliocked,” continued the speaker,
“when the young ones ask ‘why,’
is that they have accepted the past
morality on face value, without
(questioning. The authority of the
past is not the thing to consider in
the question of morals, but the au
thority of demonstrated truth.”
In considering the “Whence of
morals,” I )r. Bowman explained
that the difference of right and
wrong, the moral question, started
in early days, in a practical fashion.
Certain things which served the
good of the group were good, other
things didn’t and were bad. A
listinction sprang tip between the ,
good and bad; and social customs
that made certain things acceptable
were the outgrowth. These customs
were tyrannical, but universally ac
cepted, and were the progenitors of
our own code of morals.
Science Governs
“We have to recognize that mor
ility is not determined by religion,
but by science, not by a discussion
] >f past attitudes, hut by a scien
tific handling of facts. This is the
great change that has come over
>ur morals; we do not accept past,
morals, our problem is to find
whether they contribute to the wel
fare of society,” lie added.
Dr. Bowman said that the in
dividual who was good because he
had to be was not really moral.

observations of past codes, but must

Thirteen Athletes
To Sport Carnival
Seattle Meet Will Attract
Entries From Many
Other Schools
Thirteen Oregon athletes have
been selected to compote at the
minor sports carnival sponsored by
the University of Washington at
Seattle Saturday. Teams have been
entered for handball, fencing,
wrestling, boxing, tumbling, and
volley ball. It is planned to make
'this an annual event to eliminate
the costly meets held in these minor
sports. In this way they may be
held with much smaller expense and
.greater competition.
Members of the Webfoot teams
will be Lawrence Wagner and
Kramer DeueL handball; Winchester
Uoicher, Warren ('. Powell and Fred
Itadtke, fencing; flair Meisel, Ever
ett Ilorrel, John Elliot, and Karl
Klomm, wrestling; Albert Wright
and Pliil Carrol, boxing; West ley
Gilmore and Walter Pritchard,
tumbling. From these entrants
there will be chosen a six man
volley ball team.
It is expected that the handball
men will experience difficulties in
the northern city as they will play
on much larger courts and with
much livelies halls. The members of
the fencing squad are conceded to
have the best chance to bring homo
the honors. The teams will leave
tonight for Seattle and expect to
return Sunday.
