Requiescat in Pace THERE is nothing more futile than holding post mortems over a dead cause, but the banishing of the Junior Vodvil from the extra-curricular ac tivity list on the Oregon campus calls for a few words of comment. First, the Emerald does not doubt that the stu dent affairs committee acted in the best of faith when they thought they were doing the best thing by the student body. The Emerald does doubt, however, that the move they took was for the best interests of conserving students’ time for better and more productive pur suits like studying. What a pity such a move was not taken before the Vodvil was all written and practices well launched. All of the time spent on it will be a total waste and student enthusiasm in the activities of the associated student body cannot help being dampened. The biggest reason for abolishing the Vodvil was on the grounds that the revised plan did not coincide with the plan agreed on at the first of the year. It was desired that the show be divided up into short vodvil acts and long practices eliminated. Under the revised plan this was promised. Faculty supervision of practices was asked for and was promised by the new plan. Health and scholarship of par ieipants were to be looked into and every thing possible done to conform to the requirements, but to no avail. The things the Vodvil directors did to meet the rules were overlooked, apparently, and a unanimous vote sunk the good craft Vodvil. After all, it does no good to object after the jury has decided or lock the barn after the horse is stolen, but it relieves the tension sometimes. The ruling was the will of the faculty, not of the stu dents. The students want the Vodvil and in order to have it they apparently will have to more than meet the requirements set down for them to follow before it will be allowed. Cheating THERE are but two classes of men, the righteous, who think themselves to be sinners, and the sinners, who think themselves righteous.—Pascal. • • • Few thieves think they do wrong when they steal; law violators find justification for their acts in their own reasoning. No man commits an un social act without at least convincing himself that he is partially in the right. Some unlegal acts, however, involve little thought or search for justification. One of these is cheating, copying from a neighbor’s paper, carry ing a “pony" to class, or opening a notebook behind cover of the seat. Complaint has been voiced that cheating in tests has become alarmingly prevalent at the University. I .ax supervision by professors and dishonesty among students are blamed as reasons for the practice. But whichever be the case, the best prevention for wrong-doing comes from within the person. Heavy penalty for cheating may deter some stu dents from practicing the “art," others it will only spur on to greater carefulness and deception. Per haps a combination of a stiff punishment and an awakening in students of the far-reaching conse quences of dishonesty would be the best method to curb it. The temptation to steal a sly glance at another's paper when a question proves baffling is strong but seldom gives satisfactory results to the cheater. The more premeditated and planned ways of cheat ing are far more dangerous to the individual. His dishonesty seldom stops there and some day he will find himself face to face with the law and have to pay for his crime. The practice of laughing at laws and seeing how long he can get by with his cheating or more serious offense will be found a non-paying one. Some students think it smart to be able to get away with cheating. They think their neighbor's smile is one of commendation when they do. But if they were to come up for an important job or appointment, just how far would they get if one of the persons above him had seen him cheat ? A reputation for dishonesty never did anyone any good. Radio Education "I7DUCATION by radio—to investigate which Sec retary Wilbur appointed a committee last spring—has been reported on pessimistically by that committee. Points which they found to be real difficulties in the path of teaching classes via the microphone included: Radio is mainly an instrument of diversion. The most popular radio hours—when a per son would be able to sit down and listen to a lecture—are too much in demand and involve a too high cost. It would be difficult to make educational programs sufficiently attractive to appeal to an audience which, for the most part, wants enter tainment. Yet in spite of these drawbacks the value of the radio in educating the people opens a great possibility. There is the educational value of ad dresses broadcast during political campaigns, or, as in recent weeks during such an important inter national conference as the London disarrhament meet. No one who listened in and heard the king, our secretary of state, or the British prime minister failed to gain a quickened sense of .the importance of what was going on. The most obvious difficulty of education by radio is the problem of getting people to tune in consistently on a program that is for their own betterment, but which must compete with the “amusement artist.” During the less crowded hours people are usually too busy to tune in. After a day’s work they may be too tired to concentrate on learning something. It will be hard for the educator to compete with the entertainer. Colleges Notice! NEW quarterly report cards which elementary school pupils take home at Hamburg, N. Y., are different. Not only do they grade the student on the aca demic subjects, but also on his social relationships, self-expression, critical thinking, worthwhile activi ties, knowledge, skills, and health. Grading on those bases will be difficult because there are no accepted standards as to just what constitutes a 100 in critical thinking or self-expres sion. However, the attempt is noteworthy because it recognizes the existence of other functions of schooling besides the memorization of dates and names. When the A. W. S. get their cabin retreat built up on the McKenzie, the campus can expect to see little of the women students on week-ends, no doubt. Get out and get under the sun! Emerald golf tourney starts next week. Get your summer sun burns now! “Dance for ten skinny little dimes at Old Mill" —ad in Emerald yesterday. Dimes or Dames?

Not that we are crying because of said lickings. Just the desire for a partial squaring of accounts with our friendly rivals at the University. This rivalry is healthy and natural, for the students here and the ones at Oregon always have attempted to beat each other to death as far as athletics is con cerned. We have baseball and track, two major sports, left, to compete with the Webfoots. Victories for us in them would help appease the somewhat ruf fled feelings of Oregon State sport fans. So we would casually suggest that the Orange baseballists win all their games with Oregon by not less than 20 runs and that the cinder artists from State permit no Duck to finish higher than last place. Unless this happens we won’t feel satisfied until next year when the Beaver gridmen swamp the Lemon-Yellow men by at least ten touchdowns and a few field goals besides.

A cent a day from each student wouldn't even pay the interest on the principal. —R. T. • • • That there is no provision in the present A. S. U.

MEZ, A CHANCE TO POUR OUT THEIR HEARTS. TRY IT ONCE. This is the fourth of a series of interviews with prominent persons on the Oregon campus which is being run weekly in the Daily Emerald. TT WAS a good thing there was a chair handy or he'd have flopped down on the floor. He was that tired. And for that matter any one who has played golf from 9 a. m. to 7 p. m. with only an hour off for lunch has a right to be tired. Ten hours of golf a day is not an average day’s menu for Erad shaw Harrison, tennis ace holder of more titles than a flock of Euro < pean kings and emperors, but yes I terday was just one of those days, j He wore out five opponents dur ing the day and shot most of the nines in the 30's and early 40's just to show people he is some thing besides a rajah of the racquet. (And to think he’s only had a set of golf clubs since the first of April! We’re turning in our knick ers and mashies in the morning.) Just what a ruddy, round-faced little bantam-weight of 123 pounds would want with 87 silver and bronze cups and trophies and 17 or so medals is a poser. That is the “harvest” from Bradshaw Har rison's 14 years of tennis. The doctors used to shake their heads over him. When he was about 10 years old, he used to spend most of the day in bed. His mother took him for walks in the parks around San Francisco and there the tennis bug bit him. At 11 he played the world's amateur champion, Maurice Mc Laughlin, 6-2, 6-3. Since then he has ridden through the tennis ranks like a Red Grange in foot ball. Although one of the small est men on the courts, Brad is ranked with Ken Appel of Prince ton at sixth place in the nation according to latest ratings. We won’t try to name all thej titles he has won, but they include championships in every Pacific coast state and British Columbia, the Atlantic coast singles cham pionship, Canadian national dou bles title, and a dozen or so other.
