College Men and Crime vs. Drink
"\TOW that the flurry over the inconsistencies of the Wicker
sham commission report has quelled it is not wholly im
possible to grasp a moment for uiscussion of the prohibition
question itself. 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

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.

Deady may remain unchanged
for the next forty years, Prof.
Barnett may still affect his Stet
son headpiece, agitation may still
go on for a new infirmary, but,
so optimists tell us, collegians will
remain fundamentally the same.
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!

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.
