In large numbers, limy arrived on the campus yesterday and today to see how their sons and daughters spend nine months of the year in search of an cdu l)ad’s Day was not a designed, money-making proposition. A far greater aim i^ understanding between father and soti or father and daughter. In this vein let us quote a fine passage from Dr. Frank Crane; being a hoy’s letter to Ids dad. “Most of all, I want to confess my worst sin against you. It was the feeling I had that you ‘did not understand.’ When I look hack over it now, I know that you did understand. You understood me better than I did myself. Your wisdom flowed around mine like the ocean around an island. And how patient you were with me! How full of long suffering, and kindness! And how pathetic, it now comes to me, were your efforts to get close to me, to win my confidence, to he my pal! I wouldn’t let you. I couldn’t. What was it. held me aloof? I don’t know. But it is tragic—that wall that rises between a hoy and his father, and their frantic attempts to see through it and climb over it.” May the visiting fathers and the students who are enter taining them see this day in its right light—as an effort to promote understanding of the problems of youth, as well as an insight into what the university is doing to help solve them. cation. Washington Begs Pardon ‘IIE University of Washington action in returning the horn A stolen from the Oregon rooting section last Saturday at the football game in Seattle indicates a general upward trend in modern relations between rival schools. When Edison was perfecting his electric lamp tradition was that the alma mater could retain her honor only by frequent predacious excursions into enemy territory, and a stolen trophy was guarded more zealously than a good name. To la* sure, the Washingtonians damaged nothing. An im partial auditor might applaud their smothering tin* sound of the squawking horn, but more serious retaliatory expeditions might organize, especially with Homecoming and 0. S. C. on the calendar. Gaynor Langsdorf, Washington student president, has marked a new high point on the graph of collegiate relations. Women will lose their independence and their health if they go back to long skirts and corsets, warns an eastern doctor. And at the same time they will keep their girlish figures (if any) and modesty. Which is it going to be, modesty or health? Today’s thought: Don’t criticize until you are sure you are right. Then don’t. The Pennso-Oregon football team will play UCLA here this week end. Campus Forum Several letters In the past ad dressed to the editor have been above the 200-word limit. The Editor is holding out one signed I.. V. because it has no name. All communications must be signed and less than 200 words or they will not l»e printed. ABOUT FRATERNITIES To the Editor: Since publication of my letter last Tuesday, I find that some of my statements have been miscon strued. The question of the hous ing regulations recently passed by the university, as I see it, is purely one of financial considera tion, and the social aspect does not enter. I am not arguing this point as it is only human nature for every one to think his own living organization is the best, re gardless of whether it be this or that fraternity, or the dormitory. The fraternities have been a great aid to the university in the housing problems, in campaigns and have always co-operated faith fully. They have successfully taken care of the housing prob lem for many years at a great saving to the taxpayers. They have all gone deeply in debt with new houses and huve heavy obli gations to meet each year. It is essential that the houses be kept full all year if the ledgers are to balance at the end of the year. For each man missing, you may just subtract about a hundred and thirty-five dollars from the house. Is it fair for the university to jeopardize these investments by passing laws compelling men to live in her own enterprise ? If a man chooses to live with a fraternity and is pledged, why can’t he live with them? Instead he is forced to live some place that he did not choose, because the university must see that her own investment is not endangered. Does this seem fair that the fra ternities be made the goat and risk losing their Investment ? H. F. S. I*. UPHELD To the Editor: In Friday’s Emerald, under the heading of “This 'n That,” was a comment upon the Springfield bus as a “nuisance," and perpe trating “intolerable noise" which disturbs class recitations. What a trifling matter to talk about! Why not make a request that the Southern Pacific company put mufflers on the trains which pe riodically disturb classes? If the author of the said article can find nothing but trifling top ics of conversation, it is time that his column should be discontinued. R. C. MORE R. O. T. C. To the Editor: I have just finished reading the so-called “pale-green thoughts \ from the distorted mind of an ef feminate pacifist.” If we stop to investigate these thoughts I think we will find that the possibility of “Relegating war to the limbo of voo-doo surgery and plane geometry.” is but slightly nearer than it was in the days of Hugo Grotius. He may not have been an "effeminate pac ifist” but he conceived the idea of outlawing war, and from bis time on, this question has been recur ring at irregular intervals. The most recent attempts have been the Kellogg-Briand' peace pact and the pilgrimage of Pre mier MacDonald to America to discuss another disarmament con ference, both of which we are told by eminent authorities are practi cal failures. The first because of certain weaknesses in the pact,, the second, due to the unwilling ness of Great Britain to sink ships enough to bring her navy on a parity with the U. S. Next the unwillingness of France to discuss submarine armaments will proba bly lead to failure and Tastly the fact that England holds inviolate her self-assumed right to seize and search neutral ships in time of war. These facts show us that our “effeminate pacifist’s” hope is not far removed, if at all, from his “category of thin, pious hope.” It is then essential that our na tion have adequate trained forces for her protection when the scraps of paper and idle prattle of our statesmen once more makes war an inevitable circumstance. .1 submit then that the R. O. T. C. is an important factor in this scheme of protection and that the statements of the editor in his recent editorial are not to be just ly termed "tid-bits of R. O. T. C. optimism.” I doubt also if our “effeminate pacifist” can place either the edi tor or myself in the class of ultra patriotic for I am sure that the editor will bear me out in saying that peace should prevail in so far as possible but decidedly not under circumstances such as have occurred in the past.

COMPANY SENDS SPEECH RECORDS Four phonograph records, deal ing with overtones in music and speech, were recently received by the psychology department with the compliments of the Bell Tele phone laboratories, according to Dr. Robert Seashore, of the psy chology department. The records demonstrate the changes in sound when certain overtones are eliminated, and also illustrate why dynamic radio speakers are superior to ordinary magnetic speakers. They are self explaining, no book being requir ed to understand them, and they are the result of 15 years of work in the Bell laboratories on the theoretical studies of sound. The psychology department will use the records in its courses where the various sense fields are studied to demonstrate how com plex sounds occur in speech and music are built up and recorded. A religion is more than a phil osophy, it is a social institution, Shailer Mathews, dean of the di vinity school of Chicago univer sity, says in an article in Current History this month.

The Varsity in its issue of Thurs day, October 3rd, gave the reason when in the large type that edi tors use to express approval, it displayed with naive enthusiasm the financial standing of the Mc Gill Daily showing a balance se cured by making all student so cieties pay for their advertising. . That an undergraduate paper should be out to make money and to make it at the expense of stu dent societies is a false idea that should not gain currency in this university. In any student organ ization the greater part of both the work and the expense involved falls to the lot of a few enthus iasts. It is they who in the end pay for most of the activities of that society. To add to their bur den by charging for the publicity which they need in order to exist, rather than assessing the cost of such publicity on the undergrad uates as a whole, is a great mis take.
