Shrunk To Fit the Mind TJROAD oceans, narrowed by cables for communication, vast areas, shrunk by miles of telephone lines, and dense atmos phere pierced by ether waves from the radio leave the nations of the world mere neighbors. One would not want to ignore his neighbors or be entirely ignorant of their activities. Neither should a citizen of the United States, and by no means a Uni versity student, allow himself to be unaware of the nearness of the neighboring nations. It is far more than reasonable to begin here on the University of Oregon campus, not only by harboring an interest in group discussions, reading foreign news, and taking classes dealing with international problems, but by aiming at better understand ing with the foreign students and cultivating a more genuine friendship. A proposed move to organize a special and official committee in connection with the A. S. U. O. which will act as an inspira tion toward friendly relations with foreign students was dis cussed at a meeting of the International club last Thursday night. This plan is both interesting and plausible, and is a sin cere demonstration of genuine interest in the progress of the world, the education of a nation, arid the development of world peace ideas. As suggested, this committee will foster move ments for exchange dinners with foreign students on the campus, will encourage extension of invitations as house guests to stu dents from other countries, and construct a closer friendship between persons of different nationalities. By doing this stu dents may begin to grasp the vast importance of education along international lines. Many students on the campus whose thoughts run along Thirteenth street and bridge games have an underlying and un awakened feeling of internationalism. They do not know it. An organized committee such as the one suggested may ignite that spark force it into flames of interest and create that essential understanding which can place the University of Ore gon far in the lead of other coast schools for relations with United States’ neighbors. Ourselves and Jupe Pluvius ^•■'tHANGEABL.K weather and its usual epidemic of colds is taxing to the limit the inadequate facilities at the University health service. The doctors and nurses at the dispensary and the infirmary are making noble efforts to cope with the situa tion but their service, at best, is necessarily slow. With no immediate hope for any improvement in the facili ties of the health service, the only manner in which the epi demic can be curbed is by co-operation on the part of the mem bers of the student body. Every precaution should be taken by students to ward off colds. Health authorities are only too willing to give advice to students and to render the best service possible, but most of the cases could be averted by the students themselves. While it is only natural to run out of doors without sufficient clothing at the first sign of spring, this practice is largely re sponsible for present conditions. Open windows which cause drafts to blow directly on a person are a usual cause for catch ing cold. If you happen to be stricken and have to wait your turn to be accommodated at the dispensary, remember that the force there is doing ail it can to serve you. Under the present condi tions it. is impossible to render efficient service, but students should bear with the health authorities they are doing their best. Speaking of the Wickersham report, in reviewing the reac tions, the best suggestion to our mind is that President Hoover now appoint another commission to determine just what the Wickersham report means. Medford Mail-Tribune. A Barnard college (for women) publication suggests that an occasional riot in public would be a good way to attract money to the college. What do private riots attract? To imply that college professors or others have no right to .■xpress their candid opinions is hitting pretty close to American rights. Students would not respect a professor who spoke through a muzzle. They do not come to absorb beliefs, but to learn to think. Kegister-Guard.

If this sort of thing keeps up, and this applies to the Kappa Sigs and Sigma Nus also, severe meas ures will have to be taken; it keeps all the sororities who live close around from going to bed and, so it is rumored, several Al pha Xi Belts received Severe colds from hanging out of windows in the cold night air too long watch ing the fray.

Wright Tells Pi Sigma Of Mexican Folk Customs Residence in Mexico for many years furnished the background for a talk on “Mexican Feast Days’’ by Dr. L. O. Wright, profes sor of romance languages, at the meeting this week of Pi Sigma, Latin honorary, at the Gamma Delta house. The religious and folk customs of the Mexican people were traced by the speaker from Latin origins in early Roman times through the holy days of the Roman Catholic church, which preserved and trans planted these customs down the ages. « Light refreshments were served to the members of the group who attended the meeting. Norman Thorne To Speak At Meeting Here Tuesday Norman Thorne, assistant su perintendent of Portland schools, will tie guest speaker at the meet ing of Omega Delta Pi, undergrad uate education society, Tuesday. The meeting, which will be held at 8 o’clock in Gerlinger hall, will feature several musical numbers following Mr. Thorne’s talk on the conditions to be met by teachers. The guest speaker is at present a member of the staff in charge of the Portland high schools and well qualified to discuss the sub ject, according to Dean H. D. Shel don, of the school of education. VVllliamette Has Police School Willamette college of law will again conduct a police school this year. It is open to anyone inter ested in criminology, law enforce ment, and related subjects. More than three hundred are expected to attend, ranging from judges of high courts to constables. The school will open following the state legislature session. The Safety Valve An Outlet for Campus Steam All communications are to be ad dressed to The Editor, Oregon Daily Emerald. They shall not exceed 200 words. 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. Editor’s Note: Student funds paid for the tennis courts. They are now under the direction of the school of physical education. “Hearings” are occasionally held in physical education offices. Un til recently all Sunday tennis was barred by Eugene city ordinances. OPEN COURTS To the Editor: Another idiosyncracy of this "chronic iconoclast” is a suppress ed desire to play tennis Sunday mornings. When winter comes again in a couple of days we shall forget tennis until the middle of April; then some reformer will start a movement to open the courts Sunday mornings. By the turn the term will be over. Next year the same cycle will probably fall short again, as it always has in the past. Why not settle the question be fore spring begins? If the caretaker of the courts is laden with a seven-day job—why not an assistant. If we proceed on : the theory that tennis will inter fere with church—why not close the courts from 10 to 1 o’clock. After a good set of tennis we may better enjoy church! Need we be driven to golf ? Let us have a hearing for open courts.
