Morals
THE morals of the modern generation will be
the death of its elders yet. 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 loud noise paralyzes the stomach, a research
at Colgate university showed. No wonder we get
indigestion every time they serve soup down at our
house.
Women don't wear so many clothes as they used
to, but they are noisier, the papers tell us. Which
are ?

COSMOPOLITAN CUlt
(t’niverslty Daily Kansan)
With the presentation of the East-West Review,
we are reminded again of the high purpose and
lofty ideals of the Cosmopiltan club.
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.

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

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.

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.
