It affects not only the University of Oregon, or the University and the State college or the two colleges and the three normal schools; the program, if it is eventually adopted, affects the entire state as well. The purpose of the survey asked by the legislature was to benefit the state of Oregon and was not simply to settle the bickerings and institutional encroachments of the schools. The commission making the survey and recommendations took it in that light. Their problem, stated in the report itself, was to see that Oregon would get full value for each dollar. To secure that full value, i. e., to secure the highest educa tional advantages for the state, the commission has made certain recommendations. To students whose perspective is limited to four years or less of college, the effects of the program sug gested may be too easily ignored. To faculty and administrative officials whose savings, homes, work, and hopes are wrapped up in the future of the institutions the changes will be radical indeed. What may seem a simple operation to a student in the trans fer of a department or school from one campus to another or in the raising or lowering of department rating may be a ter rific wrench to the men and women who most truly form the University, the college, and the normal schools. Probably somewhere beyond ihe casual survey of the colle gian and the more important study of the faculties of the schools the real importance of the proposals lies. The question which the federal commission set itself to answer was, How may the state of Oregon secure the best educational system ? The recom mendations present an answer to the self-proposed question. The next step will be a repetition of the question. Do the proposals secure the best educational system for the state of Oregon? Radio on the Rebound 'T'HE history of radio broadcasting in the United States, brief as it is, makes an interesting study in the development of public opinion. The first programs were entrusted to the ether about ten years ago and were greeted with technical interest and artistic scorn. Five years brought marvelous improvement of range and tone, and the introduction and growth of chain broadcasting attracted national advertisers whose unlimited capi tal raised the quality of performance immeasurably. The public admired and enjoyed in ever increasing numbers. Now the reaction has set in. An article in one of the weekly reviews published in New York is the most outspoken denuncia tion of the commercialization of broadcasting that we have us yet seen: “The dead hand of advertising lias lain so heavily upon American radio that it lias been strangled intellectually at Us birth. . . . While radio here has been a gigantic billboard, de voted to the further cheapening, coarsening and standardizing of public taste, in England it is clearly regarded as a valuable instrument for the education and entertainment of the masses.” English broadcasting is a monopoly in the hands of the Brit ish Broadcasting company, a government bureau which finances the programs by government subsidies and taxation of owners of receiving sets. A cross-section of their monthly programs reveals that in addition to concerts of a high type, the keenest thinkers of t lie country are employed to give lectures on art, aesthetics, literature, science and economies. Is it better than our system of sponsored programs? We need five years more before we can judge with certainty five years to see what the commercial sponsors of American pro grams will do in answer to the sort of indictment quoted above. The more intelligent among them will certainly not continue to I “cheapen and coarsen” the public taste after a good share of tlie public begins to ignore or to protest. One big disadvantage of the government monopoly is that political heresy does not get the healthy airing it enjoys over our ether waves. George Bernard Shaw was recently forbidden to broadcast a series of lectures in England. His slightly pink political views were judged to be too boisterous for the sensitive : microphones and the susceptible hearers. No chemical reacts more quickly to an admixture of another than Oregon students do to the weather. Two days ago slicker • . - dirty cords, and water-stained shoes were In order. Yesterday a few hours of cold sunshine only faintly indicative of spring were enough to clothe the student body in linen knickers, two toued shoes, pearl gray sports suit filmy dn-.e. and Deau\ dh bandals. -- _ I Modern Prairie Schooner Brings Drama Entrants A modernized covered wagon yesterday brought five Milwaukie Union high school students to the campus to compete in the fifth an nual drama tournament at Guild hall tonight. A ton-and-a-half truck, neces sary to bring the school's proper ties here for the presentation of Eugene O’Neill’s sea tragedy, “He,” was fitted out with a canvas cov- I ering that resembled an old prair- : ie schooner. The high school actors who made ! the trip via truck were Francis j McElroy, Billy Strasser, Ed Rod gers, Frank Heinrich, and Mario Bisio, CAMPUS ♦ ALENDAR All independent men who have not already done so apply at the Journalism “shack” tomorrow aft ernoon for the free passes to the Oregon Yeomen show which will take place at the Fox McDonald theater Monday night.

Dr, Rebec, Dr. Powers Back From Conferences Dr. George Rebec, dean of the graduate school, and Dr. Alfred Powers, dean of the extension di vision, returned last week-end from a tour of the high schools of the eastern portion of the state, where they held conferences with the instructors concerning grad uate work. “It was rather universally ex pected by the teachers that Ore gon would soon put into effect the requirement of a fifth year of col lege preparation for high school teaching which California has been practicing for some time, and which Washington has recent ly adopted,” said Dr. Rebec. “Both Dean Powers and myself were impressed with the quality of the University of Oregon's repre sentatives in the teaching staffs which we interviewed. Almost in variably they were significant fac tors in the community as well as the school,” said Dr. Rebec. Dr, Powers and Dr. Rebec vis ited Ontario, Nyssa, Vale, Hun tington, Haines, Baker, Union, En terprise, La Grande, and Pendleton high schools. . ■(lowers are : indispensable for the chic Easter i costume! | And “Her” flowers will be ] doubly beautiful if you order • them from !
