Particularly those elders whose job it is to keep the life in colleges above reproach. There are as many ideas of what is moral and proper as there are mortals who have these ideas. Sometimes the ideals are set by the persons making the rules, sometimes the geographical loca tion governs them. At least this can be found to be true to that mooted topic “How late shall co-eds stay out at night?” There are colleges that recognize t,he majority of students and leave it up to them to work out their own code of behavior. There are also colleges which treat students as though they were imma ture mentally and incapable of taking care of their own actions. Just when does a young man or woman cease to be a child and step into the ranks of those who run their own lives? * * * THERE are various answers to that question. Indiana answers it by forbidding students to “sit it out" in cars between dances and by declar ing that students cannot transport their “dates” to the dance in a car unless a parent of either of the students is the driver. Under such a barricade of rules a college student is considered a babe in arms. (Not intended as a pun:) Colleges also show their trust or distrust in stu dents by the time which they set for their women students to “sign in.” These times range everywhere from 9:30 p. m. to 2 a. m. Monmouth Normal has the former hour. University of Chicago has the latter. Oregon State college has 11:30 rules, IJ. S. C. co-eds must be home by 10:30. Berkeley allows them to be out till 1 a. m., while Michigan State locks up at 11 o’clock. EBRASKA waged war for a fifteen-minute ex tension on its present time limit of 12:15, which is the same hour Oregon observes, except for senior women, spring term, who have until 1 o’clock. Cornell upon a special occasion danced tintil 4 a. m. And so it goes, early or late, with "no rhyme or reason" for variations. Perhaps the most effective way of ending the troubles colleges have with getting co-eds to ob serve late-hour rules would be to abolish all rules and leave it up to the individual. When there is no set time that one has to get in, when the idea of “forced to get in" is removed, then the desire to stay up is considerably lessened. Chances are a few would stay up late even if they had complete freedom. Those few are the same who invent arti fice and subterfuge to evade rules when any are in force. The desire to break a law often passes with the repeal of that law. Just as many college students probably would quit drinking if prohibition was abolished and "smartness" of drinking then taken away, so would most students probably retire early if no time wus set down for them to follow. The emphasis would pass from trying to get by with as much as possible to concern for the needs of nature regarding sleep. SUGGESTION made yesterday by an inter ested student relative to a reward for editors and managers of Oregon’s publications has been received favorably on several sides and contains Starting this year the student executive council members were awarded fountain pens in remem brance of their year’s work for the student body. The president is awarded a key for his watch chain. The value of such gifts from the A. S. U. O. lies in the memories they recall more than in their in trinsic worth, which is small in proportion to the work expended in the interests of the student body. True, editors and managers receive salaries for their work while the student officers do not. The idea of a reward for publications heads was more as a remembrance of the college days when they j Awards merit. were heads of a big organization. Such a token would be treasured far above the sundry honorary pins and medallions a student collects in his four years. Memories of those days of leadership such a key would recall would mean a lot to editors and managers and remain with them much longer than the moderate salaries they received while on the job. The material gain from such a publications award would be slight, but the gain in fond recol lections would be great. Revolts MODERNISM, or the “divine unrest,” is rampant with each succeeding generation. Each is modernistic because it is different from the way people do things that particular day. The next day it may change. Dissatisfaction with social mores and folkways is a human trait and crops up on all sides. College students would rather die than be unr^ stylish or wear clothes different from the herd. Yet everywhere over the nation collegiate America is rebelling against something. With the co-eds in many schools the irksome thorn is smoking cig arettes. On all sides they are fighting against rules which forbid smoking and label it unladylike. The tide of battle looks as though it were turning in favor of nicotine emancipation. If Sir Walter Raleigh could see what he started! Men, with less to kick against because they are less shackled in their social behavior by late-hour rules and smoking ordinances, have taken up the sword against masculine clothes. At Dartmouth the other day the men rose up in revolt against the conventions of male attire and braved the breezes and gazes in colorful “shorts.” Led by A1 Marsters, football hero, editors of campus publica tions and presidents of campus groups, they no doubt accomplished much toward doing away with hot vests, bothersome long trousers, and unhealthy, tight collars. Five hundred strong Dartmouth men turned Boy Scouts. Bare knees were flaunted in the face of convention and the innovators felt wicked and Bo hemian by their actions. Down at Princeton spring term sees beer suits blossom out on the campus. The pajama parades staged under last summer's glaring sun will no doubt soon be repeated on some eastern college campuses. Out West, the college cowboys read about their advanced brethren and wonder how they get the nerve to crash conven tions to the earth and tromp on them. Out here there is plenty of air. M<an does not feel the need to cast off his clothing to get more of it as do men in the more-crowded East. Also, the West is slower to outlive the Puritan bluenose influence on behavior. Bayonets WITH the passing of the bayonets goes from the campus another trace of the World war. Back in the time when America entered the con flict. the R. O. T. C. came to the University of Oregon. It v/aa then the S. A. T. C., and every man enrolled in school carried his bayonet. Now few men are enrolled in military courses; and far fewer would enroll if it were not the price of higher education. The blades that take their name from Bayonne no longer are for a hated enemy. In past years they have become trouble some dress affairs. They must hang just so, the belt must hook on one certain button, the band must be adjusted for each hour's training officer. So the bayonets are to go. For over a decade they have swung by the sides of men with adven ture in their eyes or have annoyed men with dis gust in their manner. Regrets for their passing may somewhere be lud but it is, so far, hard to find.—R. T. Five hundred Dartmouth students paraded in gaudy shorts as a protest against conventional male attire. The item was buried inside of the news papers. If that had been co-eds the story would have been front page with lots of pictures. An expurgated edition of the Bible has been completed by a Chicago editor. Wonder if he took out all references to drinking wine since this is a dry country?

A new organization, having existed only since 1907, and only on our campus since 1920, it has done much toward forwarding an international fel lowship among university and college students. And these students will later enter into the public life of their respective countries. They will be greatly benefited by having lived with people of other countries and having learned something of their ideals and beliefs, and some of their troubles too. And there is great value to Americans in the opportunity to understand the perspectives of other countries without leaving their own. “Above all nations is humanity.” r - r ...

Malcolm Campbell Receives Appointment Malcolm Campbell, graduate student in the department of psy chology, has received an appoint ment to the Stanford department of psyheology where he will work next year under the direction of Dr. E. K. Strong on the problem of the comparison of the abilities of the Japanese and the Cauca sian. The study has been provided for by a special grant made by a num ber of Japanese, and the two men will study the mental and physi cat characteristics of the two rac es as measured by various psycho logical tests. Campbell will devote his time to the motor aspects of the problem, and he will conduct a number of tests, including the motor skills unit developed by Dr. R. H. Seashore, of the University of Oregon psychology department. Campbell will receive his mas ter's degree here this spring. His thesis was a study of “Individual Differences in the Speed of Re actions iu the Large Muscle Groups.” EMERALD OF THE AIR - By THORNTON GALE - Quality rather than quantity was stressed by Tau Delta Delta, underclass women's musical hon orary, in their “Emerald of the Air” program broadcasting over KORE at 8 o'clock last night. Peggy Sweeney and Miriam Staf ford, accompanied by Helen Weiss at the piano, pla'yed as a violin and cello duet, “Angela Mia,” “Pagan Love Song,” and “I Love You Truly.” The girls’ trio, composed of Marvin Jane Hawkins, Sally Hal loway, and Maxine Glover, was featured in seven popular vocal. numbers. In yesterday’s program the girls were billed as the “Tor rid Trio.” Since the name was misleading, a change was consid ered necessary. At any rate, they played before a radio audience, who expressed their appreciation with encores and special request numbers. Sing Harper, accompanying him self on his guitar, sang “It Hap pened in Monterey” and “If You Believe in Me.” Velma Powell sang as a solo, “After.” Pat Boyd, versatile pianist, played several piano solos. “Miss Boyd deserves a great deal of credit for her work over KORE,” said Art Potwin, director of Em erald of the Air, last night. “She has sacrificed a lot of her time for the success of the Emerald of the Air programs.” Tonight’s broadcast, the second program of the closing week, will feature Henry Kaahea, Hawaiian soloist, singing native and popular songs, accompanying himself on his guitar. The Alpha Chi Omega trio, who have been presented over KORE before, with favorable comment, will make their appearance again tonight in a medley of popular songs. The trio is composed of Kathryn Langenberg, Anna Rea, and Harriet Cope. John Finley, accordion artist, will also appear in several instrumental solos. “Palmer and Potwin,” announc ers extraordinary, are both stick ing close to the microphone of KORE during the closing week, and will illuminate the program with wisecracking comment. j_FORUM_j To the Editor: Those who follow the announce ments of the drama department are concerned over the spring play —we find no mention of the lead ing lady! We suspect that there is one, however, since we have seen pictures of her subordinates, in recent Emeralds. Such a glar ing oversight on the part of the publicity management is rather unfortunate, when the play is to be an important campus event. —G.

Closing Date Extended For Architect''s Plans The closing date of the archi tectural contest which five of the students in the school of architec ture and allied arts have entered has been extended to the end of the term, according to a telegram from W. R. B. Wilcox, instructor in architecture here, who is now in Washington, D. C. The plans, which are for a ho tel to be erected on the summit of Sugar Loaf mountain, Maryland, are to be sent at the end of the term to Mr. Wilcox, who will ex hibit them to Gordon Strong, a philanthropic millionaire who is sponsoring the contest. In the telegram, Mr. Wilcox ad vises the Stronghold Bunch, com posed of Harlow Hudson, Kenton Hamaker, Lucille Wirth, Chloethel Woodard, and Edward Isaacson, the students who are working on plans for the hotel, not to over work themselves on their plans.
