Our answer is that three times out of five he does, and does so because he believes it is the quickest, surest and safest way to become popular on the campus. Next we might wonder whether men and women of the state enter the political field for the publicity they receive from it. Our answer is here that one out of five does. Whether students are public-minded enough to work to attain positions from which they may administer their own ideas which they believe will benefit society, or in the local case, the campus, cannot be determined. It is usually found that when a student is selected to fill a position he or she will throw whole-hearted effort into satisfactory execution. This, we also add, may be done for the selfish reason of securing another and more noticeable job in the future. Little harm comes from this psychological urge. We commend the student who takes the work, puts his heart and soul into it, and does it without expectation of recompense. He is the student who will best benefit, from the experience he enjoys and who will continue his advancement when all means of public notice have been withdrawn. Is it the picture in the paper that urges him to complete his task? Is it the respect and greetings he receives after his appoint ment has been announced? Perhaps it is, but what harm can that do? His acquaintance on the campus is broadened, his ability as an executive is increased, and he may jjpnsider his college career a huge success. •* Still, we admire the man who will work from public sight. 35,000 Drunks TWO students were suspended from the University Tuesday be cause they were picked up intoxicated by the police of Portland in the rallies and celebrations attendant on the Oregon-Washington football game. Those students, and all the others, had been warned they would be so treated if any of them were found guilty of in toxication. Not only because they broke state and federal laws, but be cause they broke an implied contract with the University, should they be censured. By their entrance into the school they had im plicitly agreed to obey its rulings, to conduct themselves according to its regulations. Their guilt lay, not necessarily in breaking the law, but in violating their word. The Emerald definitely places itself on record as willingly approving the University action. But we cannot help but wonder what the prohibition law is all about. Our understanding of its merit is that alcoholic liquor makes its consumer a menace to society in that he loses his sense of proportion, readily accepts the workings of a crowd psychology, loses Iris inhibitions and replaces them with a dangerously natural mental process. In a word, it makes him drunk. It was not the economic loss caused by the distilling of liquors which aroused the ban placed upon sale of alcohol. It was, instead, the fear that drunks might endanger lives and property of others. Their emotionalism was their'enemy. Two intoxicated students, then, also were two dangerous stu dents. They might have driven death-cars. They might have de stroyed property. They might have started a free-for-all. But a rally was also held on the streets of Portland. A crowd, surely ruled by crowd psychology, drove dangerously up and down those streets. So does worth-while school spirit flirt with a de structive school spirit. Please note that distinction. In that way trophies have been stolen. Lives have been lost. Much property has been destroyed by football-mad mobs. It seems that football ami rallies, music and speakers, may all lead to a let-down in mental capacities. We do not advocate prohibition of rallies nor abolition of the right to assemble for celebration or entertainment. We recognise only that a blasted concrete “O, ’ an uprooted goal-post, or 3a,000 booing spectators are infinitely more dangerous than two soused college students. And we applaud such college spirit! It is good that the University does not applaud both the crowd and the liquor. Thirty-five thousand drunken spectators . . . Let Students Do it C'llOUl--D purely student talent be used exclusively In the pro ^ posed all-student assemblies" The question has come up. with several people doubting the ability of students to stage intelligent assemblies without outside aid. The affairs of the past, which were discontinued last year because of the small amount of interest shown in them, were char acterized by long, drawr-out speeches, often on subjects that were of little or no interest to the average student. Many of the men who appeared were very capable in their line, but they had little to offer that could hold student attention and it was no uncommon sight to see groups of listeners leaving during the course of the talk. The Emerald proposes that only student talent be used- so far as it is possible and that the purpose of the assemblies be to better acquaint the members of the student body with the many activities which are being carried on by the Associated Students. There is plenty of available musical talent on the campus for the assemblies and some fine student speakers. Our plan is this there should be a committee appointed to ar range all assemblies and to line up the program. Outstanding speakers should be engaged to addiess the assembled students and theii topics should be those that would be of most interest to the majority of the audience. “Holiday” rehearsal.

THE ART SCHOOL In the good old days it was the boast of this school that they had the best looking women on the campus. Bearing this in mind the writer went down there to gather the dirt with some bit of delightful expectation. No, Sir, it’s a secret that they have been hiding these many years. Simply this: The cal ibre of the feminine pulchritude in this department is a thing of the past. The bohemian set. Risque, dar ing, something new and different and just a bit more sophisticated. That’s the old myth that they try to live up to down there. They eat sardines out of the can, they effect smocks, and dab their faces with ! paint, putty and plaster of Paris; they speak the garbled vernacular of the artist; they wear long and unkempt hair, and practice a wild look in their eye.

They are never seen about the campus but spend their days in the gloom and the turpentine. Some of them who go early in the morn ing and leave late at night have never, believe it or not, seen the daylight for four years. Fresh air is a stranger to them. This is one department in the University that doesn’t believe in grades. As soon as this fact is known, it is probable that there will be a general exodus from the other departments of the Univer sity and that the art department Hill be lilled to the overflowing. That is the reason so many of art majors make good grades. They have an athlete in this school every now and then. They keep it on the Q. T., however, as it would be detrimental to the ar tistic temperament of the school to let it be known. Individuality at any cost. We are thankful to have the art ma- ! i jors in our midst, however, if for no other reason than it gives the rest of us a superiority complex.

STEPPING INTO A MODERN WO R.LD Scientist and Salesman THE MODERN PARTNERSHIP Like every other modern industry, the Bell system requires the combined effort of scien ist and salesman. The commercial man has igain and again shown the public how to use lew products of the telephone laboratory, md how to make new uses of existing ipparatus. Transmitting pictures and typewritten mes sages over telephone wires are services right now being actively promoted. Scientific selling by long distance is among many ideas origi nated to increase the telephone’s usefulness. In short telephony is a business, with prob lems that stimulate commercially minded men and a breadth of opportunity in step with the fast moving world of industry today.
