For these reasons we believe that petitions now being circulated for the release of Robert Allen, ex-managing editor of the Emerald, from activities probation will likely accomplish no good. Whether or not each student who signs a petition feels most conscientiously that the purpose toward which the petition lead ers are working no one can tell. The circulation of the petitions is in no way under the direction of the Emerald. Action prob ably has been taken by those merely interested in the case at hand. The Emerald is giving the petition space in the news columns according to its news value. We agree with the petition in so far as it conforms to the editorial statements made pre viously in this column. Students are at liberty to circulate petitions—though to gen erate power promoters must be organized someone must assume responsibility. The Emerald has made its fight fought for what it believed right, both in the interests of the student body and the associ ated student government. Its ideas remain unchanged. Pooling International Problems * REMARKABLE unity of purpose of the International week forum hour speakers Monday night was well indicated by a chance arrangement in the listing of their main topics. Each speaker addressed a living organization on a different feature of international relations, yet the whole made one coherent sen tence. Just as it was reported it is: “The world is becoming smaller due to international de pendency . . . and hence racial problems and prejudices are more important ... so some such group as the League of Nations must solve world relations problems . . . such as overpopulation in Japan, . . . movements for decreasing illiteracy In Mexico, . . . evil influence of nationalism, . . . remaking of world society to fit world changes, . . . education for understanding minds, . . . abolition of war, . . . friendliness to foreigners.” Just as each of those topics barely treated the whole subject and yet together made a consistent whole, just so each student on the campus and each citizen of the world, by facing squarely and understanding his own minor problems, can help create a more ideal situation. Perhaps internationalism is too great for one person to fully comprehend. In its very nature it would seem to be so, since internationalism presupposes more than the existence of one individual or nation, yet that limitation clearly defines the method of procedure. Only by each student bringing his own contribution in this campus International week, and by each citizen bringing his in an era of greater internationalism, can the project realize its end. Modern Women OCATIONAL guidance has long been one of those things about which a college student may or may not have a vague idea it has always been more or less of a hit and miss proposi tion. Now, however, as far as Oregon women are concerned there is a definite move under way to help co-eds select their life work. A committee has been chosen by the president of the Asso ciated Women Students to work out a plan of vocational guid ance and it is expected that the program will be ready to be used during winter term. There is no doubt but what a great many women on the campus fail to realize just what opportunities there are open to members of their sex in modern business. There is no need for so many co-eds following in the footsteps of those of other years who thought theii only chances for future employment lay in the fields of teaching or stenographic work. A real feature of the proposed guidance is found in the fact that an organization of students is sponsoring the move. Tire leaders oi the group fully realize the problems of the average college woman and will be able to more intelligently help them. It is a worthy cause and we wish it success. When we wonder why some freshmen get homesick in spite of dances, football rallies, and classroom interests, all we must do is look up their home town. Probably it's in Ka. tetn Oregon and cloudy, drizzly days here lack the appeal. As Will Rogers says, “Any time you plan a revolution you had better be on the winning side.” CAMPUS ♦ ALENDAR Christian Science organization meets tonight in the Y. W. C. A. bungalow at 7:30.

BETTY ANNE MACDUFF DOROTHY DAVIDSON SPEAKS OF HAWAII (Continued from Tage One) “Nice and quiet on my island? Well, at times,” “Dee” began to laugh. We were living in Waima, a little town meaning ‘dirty water,’ which is the place Captain Cook landed when he discovered the Ha waiian islands. There was a sugar cane field in front of us, and a Catholic church and graveyard on the left. We couldn't get the Jap anese servants to go near the graveyard, and the bell in the church would ring so loudly it would nearly shake our house down. “Well, there was a mule stable beside this, and on our right was a Japanese school, where the I studying is all done out loud; a I Buddhist temple with another con 1 tinually ringing gong back of that, and a Japanese and Filipino camp behind this conglomeration. To cap the climax, there was a pig pen j near the beach from which the ; ocean breeze carried an unbeara ! fcle odor. “The Napoli cliffs, which are i back of our house, are the scene | of Jack London’s ‘Kaulu, the Lep er.’ The book is based on a true occurrence, about 1000, when the lepers, who were being transport ed to Molokai, the leper colony, escaped from the officers and lived I among the cliffs for several weeks. ! “The 'Barking Islands,’ which I the name describes, are 11 miles j from home. Near them is the only i place in the Hawaiian islands j where a heavily loaded airplane | can take off, as there is a two mile clearance. It was here that ' Art Rogers, in the first flight from (the United States to the islands, I was discovered and saved.’’ ; Although “Dee is fond of the I states, she refuses to be torn away ' from the islands. “I will return to Jthe islands next winter to teach. II hope eventually to be connected |with the social service work there,” j "Dee” grinned, “if no one is kind : enough to relieve me of my career.” Argentine Writes To B. A, School For Information “1 have the pleasure of . . . re questing that you have the kind ness to forward me by return mail complete analytical outlines in Actural Mathematics Statistics, and in all courses in business which are taught in the school of business administration.” Such, in part, is a request re ceived at the school of business ad ministration yesterday from Senior Don Pedro C. Arnold, of Republica Argentina, Provincia de Tucuman, who seems to wish a detailed pros pectus of all business courses—to know the technical preparation for any position in the business world, according to the translator, Anna M. Thompson, professor of Ro mance languages. A catalogue, a letter, and other information will be sent. Professors Will Attend Physics, Accoustics Meet Dr. W. P. Boynton, head of the department of physics, and [ Charles Goodwin, teaching fellow J ir physics, plan to leave Thursday of next week for Los Angeles where they will attend a joint ! meeting of the American Physical society and the American Accous tical society to be held on the U. C. L. A. campus at Los Angeles. Dr. Boynton will attend the | seminars and does not plan to be back before the beginning of win ter term. Mr. Goodwin who has been doing research work in sound deadening and other phases j oi accoustics, expects to garner ideas for the furtherance of his j work here at the meeting.
