Little enlightenment could be found in the deci sion of Wickersnam and his ten committeemen with the excep tion of emphasis on the possibilities of outward disagreement of persons who attempt to solve the problem. College drinkers care little what happens to the Eighteenth Amendment. They drink—amendment or no amendment—but with repeal of the prohibition act a college education would cost them less. On the other hand, the gents of the underworld focus their attention on the activities of the law-makers. Their jobs depend upon a continuance of the present lawlessness of liquor sale. Crime, in its bloody ugliness, would not drop from sight if underworld liquor traffic were ceased. Hundreds of "gat” toters would be without employment and without subsistence. Would that not be more of a temptation to commit crime than a mere "bump off" order from a whisky mogul? The underworld was not created by prohibition, but it has become enormously rich from its major industry. But crime problems cannot call a, halt to thoughts and sug gestions toward prohibition repeal ’of revision. Educationally or economically the underworld can be conquered—victory being only a matter of 10 or more years. Prohibition as it is, is far from successful—we need tell no one that—even the Wickersham commission was fully aware. Intensified enforcement will gain no better results. The Eight eenth Amendment is inelastic it cannot be adjusted to the de mands of the present American populace- mainly because they are unaware of what they want. A plan, suggested by Henry W. Anderson, granting the power to regulate to Congress is the most valuable, most plausible, and intelligent result of the recent liquor and crime investigation. «# For a Peaceful World THOSE who concern themselves with social, political and eco nomic problems of the day should take a keen interest in the appearance of Paul Blanshard, lecturer of the League for Industrial Democracy, tonight at Alumni hall. Mr. Blanshard represents a nation-wide organization, made up of individuals interested In liberal movements that seek to realize better conditions for the whole of society. He is himself a speaker who has, in years of experience as a lecturer, gained a great deal of recognition. University students Decome fa miliar with the problems of labor, of politics, and with move ments toward social reform in the classroom, but they do not often have opportunity to meet with individuals who are spend ing their energy directly in reform work. There is a breach between university centers and the so called “practical world.” Your business man is inclined to scoff at the "theoiies" of business presented in a university to dis miss all proposed changes in government as dangerous and idealistic. Your university student is likely to regard the busi ness man as prejudiced, conservative to the point of blindness, too selfish to give fair consideration to any move for industrial betterment. The two types make an entirely different approach to the same problems. In the university the method is a more leisurely one whereby al' facts are carefully weighed; in the business world there must be snap judgments and these tend to be based, not at all on theory, but on tradition. Such a group as the League for Industrial Democracy, that is to be represented here tonight, seeks to be a mediator be tween the two to budge the gulf that separates the theorist front the "hard-headed business man," Mr. Blanshard hus worked in factories and he has spent years in first-hand association with industrial centers. He has like wise been a student in universities, so that he knows both sides of the story. Students profess to .lemaud all viewpoints of a question so that they may give them caieful study before they formulate opinions. The lecturer, then, should arouse a great deal of stu dent interest because he will have a viewpoint gained from an angle not so familiar around a university. Unemployment of teachers in Lane county is due to inade quate training, we hear. Doesn't employment then become the alarming danger? Marrow. Alaska, claims to be the most law-abiding commu nity In the world. It has a population of 300 Indians and about twelve v.hltts. Oregon Riflemen Turn rBig Game5 Hunters; Get Rats Equipped with guns and flash lights two Oregon rifle team mem bers ventured into the wilds of Eugene's municipal rubbish heap last night to hunt rats. They came back with glowing accounts of their prowess as “big game” hunters : id vowed that they were going bac k for more of the hunt ing later. Spence Raynor and Gaylor Cox, Oregon riflemen, were the hunters. Raynor, with a .22 revolver, bagged eight of the rats, and Cox, with a rifle, brought down about a dozen. One held the flashlight while the other did the shooting. They said they had to be quick on the trig ger as the rats scampered quickly in and out among the discarded cans on the rubbish pile. Phi Psi National Officer Visits on Oregon Campus Mr. Kenneth Barnard, of De troit, Michigan, national treasurer of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, was a campus visitor yesterday. Barnard was at the Phi Psi house during the day and also went on an inspection tour of the Oregon campus. This is Barnard's tv/elfth visit to the Pacific oast, but his first stop-over in Eugene. On his pres ent trip he is availing himself of the opportunity to visit coast chapters of the fraternity. He will leave for Portland this morn ing on his way back to Detroit, where he is connected with the city's Better Business Bureau. ‘TWELFTH NIGHT’ TO BE PRESENTED FIVE TIMES (Continued from Cage UneJ' of Henry VIII and Catherine in ! her recent production of “Cather 1 ine Parr” for the Studio Play ser ies.

There is . one thing that has changed, and changed rapidly, i since we entered the University, I and that's the mode of rat-racing. When we were frosh anything j above a stately glide or an occa sional daring toddle was frowned upon as an unforgivable vulgarity and those few who felt themselves ' moved by the uncontrollable de sire to distort a pelvis or twist a knee to the pagan wailing of the sax and the intoxicating throb of the drums doffed their pledge pins and slunk to a city rat-race. Now such subterfuges are ig nored. The collegian brawl puts 1 the best dreamland efforts to shame. Dips, drags, shuffles, side by side these are necessary to any young man's terpsichorean repertoire. Quick, Watson, a tune on your harmonica, one-two-three one two three, heigh ho! * * * Most expressive simile heard this week: "Naw, he isn’t much force.

(Par don us, the I key just stuck, so we'll have to sign off.) “Well, I think that traditions are all right and even a good thing for a small college, but they're certainly out of place in a larger one.” —Alexis Lyle, Junior in B. A. * * * “Well, I follow them, but I can't see that they're especially beneficial.” —Clarence Nicholas, Freshman in Phys. Ed. * * * “They're the backbone of the institution—especially the cere monies on the old libe steps.” —Esther Hayden, Sophomore in Journ. * * * “College traditions are a won derful thing and form the back bone pf any college or university. However, I don’t think that here in the University the traditions are property executed and hence are of far less value than they should be.” —Clifford Beckett, Junior in B. A. MADELON BRODIE TO SERVE AS HOSTESS (Continued from Vnpe One) have had some of their leading mu sicians as our guests, too. I en joy meeting these people especial ly.” Miss Brodie spoke quite casual ly of meeting the president of Fin land, Relander, and the “first lady of the land.” It is the custom for each legation to entertain the pres ident once a year, and he in turn is host to all the legations,” she told the reporter. "We will arrive in Helsingfors after the season, which is at its height in February and March, so we probably won’t entertain for him until next year.” An interesting Swedish custom observed in Finland was described by Miss Brodie. If a man and his wife are at a formal dinner and he forgets to give a toast to her, he must give her a pair of silk stockings. “And the toast is such a complicated affair,” Miss Brodie added. “You must lift your glass, catch the eye of the one whom you are toasting, look in their eyes for an instant, bow, drink, look in their eyes again, and bow to finish it off. The whole custom of toasting is founded on precedent. The host must be very careful that j he toasts his guests according to! their diplomatic rank.” Helsingfors, the capital of Fin land, is a very beautiful city, and is said to be one of the most mod ern cities in Europe, Miss Brodie said. “The architecture of the pub- i lie buildings is very modern, and the spirit of modernism is reflected in the music and the painting of the city’s cultured class. "Most Finns own an island or part of one - there are 40,000 is-1 lands and as many lakes off the j coast of and in Finland—and dur-1 ing the summer they move out to f the islands and forget city life and all their troubles," Miss Brodie said in describing the life of Hel singfors. “People boat almost 24 hours a day during the summer. The sun sets about 11:30 in the evening and rises again at 2:30, and during the interim it doesn’t really get dark. “There is an old pagan custom which is still observed on mid summer’s night—June 21,” Miss Brodie continued. “On that night j huge bonfires are built on all the little islands around Helsingfors, and these are lighted during the night. The effectiveness of them is somewhat lost by the fact that it does not get really dark.” Miss Brodie is studying Swedish, which spoken second to Finnish in Helsingfors. Finnish is extreme ly difficult, while Swedish is sim ilar to English and also to Ger man, according to Miss Brodie. “I haven’t progressed yet to speak ing to anyone but the maids, though,” she laughed.
