It seems certain that criticism is the one element ip which the average college student finds himself most at home. He directs his attention almost exclusively to the things which he wants changed, ignores those which he favors. But that in itself does not argue immaturity, but rather argues that somewhere and somehow that student has been taught to view any set standard with suspicion. In the twelve years or more of training before the college takes its hold on the incoming freshman, theories have been taught as postulates and axioms. Elementary and secondary schools usually Insist that controversial subjects not be taught; or if they be taught, that dogmatic instructions be given for finding one certain answer. College changes all this. No pro fessor or collegian needs more than the reminder that nearly all college courses teach that the old ways are bad, that the new ones are good. Democracy, religion, love, politics, grammar, morals—Who can but admit that new beliefs concerning them are more strik ingly and convincingly presented than the old? And who could expect that this reversal in respect for founding fathers and anchored customs would lead to other than reaction in the stu dent himself reaction against all things old and established? Naturally, then, the easiest way out of the whirlpool which these opposed currents bring into college life is the establish ment of individual belief and suspicions both of the new and the old. Whether these individual beliefs are immature or not imma ture depends on the student himself. But criticism of student desire for change, of the continual youth movement, should rec ognize that students do not only oppose everything they depre cate but they tacitly approve everything they say nothing about. And, surely, there are many things they say nothing about. “International Mindedness” STUDENT, today, communicates with the Emerald ironi cally expressing his regrets that students do not continue their thought along international lines. It is indeed fine, he believes, that they may be "international-minded" for at least one-fifty-second of a year. The week set aside for international study has passed, but its effects no doubt linger with many students who were not inclined to think on subjects outside their own campus. Likely many will fall back into their own nooks undoubtedly many were never aware of international discussion even during last week. The affairs of India, Germany. Russia, and other nations of the world are not too broad for the mind of an average college man or woman. He or she needs that spark to ignite thought and every international week held on the Oregon campus brings the flint and steel to harder blows. Our correspondent says that, after all, college campi should be the focal points of international interest. He says so quite truly, but in the intellectual functions of any higher institution may be discovered the foundation for more substantial thought, l’erhaps one student will think about the affairs of Germany while in school because lie is working with an organization that deals with this thought. Perhaps another student is not. but when college days have ended both will become internationally minded because they have quite successfully learned how to think, and no English literature, accounting, or Greek will inter fere. Now that, the 1931 football team has a 12,284-mile trip ahead ol it, we judge the time ripe for the purchase of two tri-motored transport planes for the A. ft. U. O. The crafts might also be used to send the editors and managers of the Emerald to con ventions. Pacific coast news services seem to get a kick out of scaring the University of Oregon. We suggest that they try asking Doc Spears whether he is really going to accept another posi tion or not Wc predict an excellent season next fall for the radio dealers. Mother, v.hat71.

Each letter must be signed; however, should the author desire, only initials will be published. The editor maintains the right to withhold pub lication should he see fit. To the Editor: We are indeed making progress when we become “international minded" for one-fifty second of a year, for it is not long since we added “international" to our po litical vocabulary. Yet it is re gretable that, unless we major in political science or foreign trade, or unless we join the ranks of the International Relations or “Cos mop" clubs, we drop our range from international to local or cam pus affairs at the end of one week. It may be that such interests are too broad for us “campus punks,” but I think not. After all, college campi should be the focal points of international interest. But one can not delve in to “International Organization and World Politics,” “Foreign Trade,” or a philosophical discussion of the International Relations club with out proper background. Would that we had an orientation course in world politics that we might bet ter understand. Sincerely, —W103. Burrell To Address Meeting Prof. O. K. Burrell of the school of business administration will speak at the annual meeting of the pacific Coast Economic asso ciation when it meets at Salt Lake City during the holidays.
