It’s American Nature
XT TOULD a factory owned by workers, worked by owners, and
’ ” directed by the majority vote of a personnel paid accord
ing to family needs be successful and desirable?
Mr. Powers Hapgood says "Yes.” He is the son of the presi
dent of the Columbia Conserve company, soup manufacturers,
who, with his two brothers, inherited the factory and for the
past 15 years operated it in this manner.
Perhaps this is one example of how an industry may prosper
under socialism in its most concrete and satisfactory form. Mr.
Hapgood does not mention socialism—his action was wise, for
the mere utterance of the word evokes an attitude among an
American crowd, destroys its reasonableness, and shackles its
understanding.
A beautiful picture of satisfied workers who found interest
in their industry who were content to receive the salary—not
wage—sufficient to bring a comfortable livelihood, has been
painted by the representative of an organization that is different
and still successful. Organizers of the soup factory feel little
satisfaction in helping only their own fellow workers they in
tend to reach out and help other "wage earners” to secure favor
able conditions.
But, with all this prettiness, we can see one hitch. American
nature is adverse to living on only that which is essential—
American youth has dreams of fine cars, palacial homes on
flowered heights, and command of industries. A skilled Amer
ican workman would not consider exercising his genius for $33
weekly just because he and his wife could have three square
meals a day and a comfortable place to live. „
What causes the dissatisfaction of the present day? Inse
curity of life for the great mass of people, maldistribution of
incomes, and lack of employment opportunities are given as
reasons no one can put his finger on a definite and funda
mental cause.
Should all civilization be forced to discard luxuries, careers,
ind possibilities of future riches, dissatisfaction and unrest would
spring from every loop-hole ambition and morale would decay
—American civilization could not. adjust itself to the new habits.
Education By Installment
T TNFOKTUNATE habit it is that schools have in dealing in
penny's wortli of education. One buys eight weeks of school
ing at a time for fall term, eight weeks; for winter term, eight
weeks; for spring term, eight weeks. Summer session and post
session are appreciably shorter.
Neatly wrapped up in attractive packages, these eight-week
parcels of schooling lie on the university bargain counters all
ready for student purchasers. They are neat and small enough
for any purse. They cavry social prestige. They offer oppor
tunity. Ask the man who owns one.
Yet tlie parcels aren't complete in themselves. Of course
half of the value of the package is in the trimmings and wrap
pings (examinations and registration, if you need to know). The
very core of this eight-week education is really about six weeks
thick and it tukes just one dozen of these packages to make a
full-sized education.
Professors don't care a great deal for ttiis installment sys
tem so there can be no quarrel with them if one is disposed
to quarrel. Students would scarcely like to blame themselves.
The administration is probably influenced by factors beyond its
control.
Anyway, while mid-terms are almost here, one can remember
that the University ot Oregon does as do all good installment
sales companies. It retains title to the education until the in
stallments are complete.
Contacts with men who have succeeded and who are succeed
ing in Oregon business was one of the greatest benefits of the
Oregon Press conference. It was a pleasure to entertain them
on the campus.
Anyway it was a good feeling while it lasted. Eugene milk
producers are having fun with the prices. We don't blame them
we wouldn't build a barn, milk a cow. fiddle around with the
milk, run a delivery, and sell it for to cents a quart either.
•'Today," says Bishop William Lawrence, "as never before,
the ways are open to every man to think uuu believe as he will.”
Yes, it is even lawful to think about absolutely nothing.
"Oh. give me something to remember you by." crooned ltudy
Vallee, and immediately lie received three grapefruit and an egg
from liie balcony above. He should ha\ s stuck to the radio.

work by the famous Scandinavian
writer in several years. Struthers

Random House is issuing a bib

“Education of a Princess,” by
Russia’s Grand Duchess Marie. It
is said to be an intense and reveal

a number of pen portraits of some
of the leading figures of contem

EMEKALD-KORE CONTEST
REPORT
(Editor's Note: As was an
nounccd last week, this column,
knowing the limitations which are
imposed upon the reports of the
contest appearing in the news col
umns of this paper, has tuken it
upon itself to give the campus the
pure unadulterated quill on the
programs.)
The first program was given by
Susan Campbell Hall. (No relation
to Arnold Bennett or Vinton). The
main idea seemed to be one of
those college dramas (you know
the type) with a piano and a trio
thrown in. It went off very well
but when mention is made of wear
ing a blue dress and then the piano
breaks into "Little Alice Blue
Gown,” why we demur. It had
about the same general effect on
us at it would be to have one of
the entertainers tell another that
he would look well in spectacles
and then have the orchestra break
into “Them There Eyes.” The pro
gram, however, was very fair.
The Theta Chi program seemed
to be built around Dale Brown,
Wilbur Thibault, a five-piece or
chestra and Bill McNabb, announc
er and crooner extraordinary. Mc
Nabb's songs while on the whole
of a cheerful motif, had, it must
be admitted, its pathetic points. A
couple of lines were a bit dashing.
Tsk. tsk. William, missy, nassy.
The orchestra hail its points, most
of them sharp and the rest flat.
An extraordinarily good bugling
effect was rendered by the trum
pet on the selections played, and
brought tears to the eyes of the
students from southern Oregon,
eastern Oregon and Coos Bay as
they recalled with a sigh the good
old backwoods rat races where
everyone takes off his coat and
tie and then do their best to dis
lmportaut dope! Junior class
meets Tuesday night at \ illard.
locate pelvis, shoulder, and ankle
in the contortions manifested in j
the demonstration of the approved ■
local interpretation of Terpsichore. !
The announcer went to sleep a
couple of times but that was per
fectly excusable under the circum
stances.
The Pi Phis picked a rather in
congruous motif, considering ev
erything, when they selected the
heaven idea. The trio wasn't too
| bad and everyone enjoyed the var
j ious piano solos. But will some
one please inform us whether the
whistling was meditated or was
just the effect of static ? The only
one who seemed downright dis
pleased with the program was Fir
po, the Sigma Chi mascot. ,
The Phi Sig program was pass
able but we do object to having
the place cluttered up with a
bunch of piano movers, a construc
tion boss, 10 or 11 sergeant-at
arms, 15 extra men to help carry
the musical instruments, half the
house furniture including the par
lor rug, and the rest of the avail
able members to bring ice water,
and fans to the performers and
to turn their music for them. In
short they had everything but a
private telephone booth for the an
nouncer. It’s too bad they didn’t
have television. We’d like to have
had a look at Toby Burris’ tonsils.
We object furthermore to having
a perfectly good evening ruined by
such an unholy depressing plot as
a dope fiend, but then, it fitted in
well with the long hair and flow
ing ties. They tried to give an im
pressive effect by having half the
members carry the music cases
and the others carry the instru
ments. Oh yes, and we mustn’t
forget George Baron’s baton. Oh
my dear, wouldn't you just know
it?

OX PUBLICITY
To the Editor:
’Ti.-i said a “prophet” is without
honor in his own country, but that
statement is proved untrue. I, a
mere “chronic iconoclast,” have
gained recognition in the Emer
ald’s longest and (all) most comic
column.
I prove the major premise of
the above statement with an ulti
matum from my employer that
“If I were not a ‘profit,’ I could
have the gate.”
Because of the “regrettable lack
of objects of denunciation,” I shall
follow the prevalent American
iconoclastic custom and bite the
hand that “feeds” me. Here is
my worst: Some writers mold pub
lic opinion while others merely
mold. Sincerely,
W-103.
“EFFICIENCY, DEAR OLD
EFFICIENCY!”
To the Editor:
Once again we find our cher
ished University pioneering the
way to new and unblazoned fields
of high finance. How delightful
to settle back in restful relaxation
and be assured that all is oke with
the old Alma Mammy and "God’s
in His heaven.”
Before long our library and in
firmary building needs should be
past tense. We should have funds
very soon for a whole flock of fine
arts buildings. For Oregon, under
the ferreting and probing eye of
our present managerial depart
ment, has uncovered and tapped a
new and “boundless” source of
revenue.
And with this recent “efficiency”
and its consequent change of pol
icy goes into the limbo of lost
and outworn sentiments an old and
traditional privilege. No more can
alumni, who in their prime fought
and fumbled on gridiron and field
for the Lemon-Yellow, crash the
gate at McArthur court or Hay
ward field, sans-cash and sans
ticket. Collegiate lettermen must
have their tickets; grey-bearded
and creaky-jointed lettermen who
possess alphabetical symbols after
their names must in tliis complex
age shell out the conventional coin
at the turnstile or remain shiver
ing outside and listen to the echo
ing huzzahs of the collegiate mul
titude from afar.
Sentiment, sweet sentiment.
After all, that's about all the priv-1
ilege held for the antiquated alum-1
ni of the Order of the O. Per- j
haps most of us can afford the ;
price of a ducat now and then. '
We wait with interest, to see more
colleges and universities recognize
the merit of this new “efficiency.”
And in the meantime another ave
nue of making a little money j
comes to mind. Why not let the i
boys who win athletic awards buy
their own sweaters ? That idea
should bring forth “hearty” re
sponse. Perhaps the Order of the
O could be induced to conduct a
series of basket socials, quilting
bees, or you call the shots.
Yours for progress and thrift,
HARRY E. DUTTON.
