Rocmt Caribbean Policy
Of United Stales
Commended
Withdrawal of Marines Is
Approved at Meeting
Of Congress Club
The Congress club last night
was a scene of vigorous debate
and heated argument when the
hew Caribbean policy adopted by
President Hoover was presented
for discussion.
Kenneth Fitzgerald, freshman
in journalism, introduced the sub
ject with a commendation of the
recent move on the part of the
administration and the state de
partment in revising its policy of
intervention. He condemned armed
invasion of Latin-American coun
tries, saying, "The American ma
rines are carrying the mighty
American flag into Nicaragua in
pursuit of the mighty American
dollar.”
Opposition Voiced
Opposition to this new decision
on the part of the United States
to withdraw the marines was
voiced by George Bennett, fresh
man in social science, who defend
ed the right of a nation to pro
tect the lives of its citizens abroad.
He commended the policy of
American investment in Latin
America, particularly Nicaragua,
and stressed the need for official
protection.
Interest centered around the
question of whether the marines
had been engaged in protecting
American lives in Nicaragua or
whether they had been supporting
and maintaining a minority gov
ernment friendly to American in
terests in that country. The status
of General Sandino and his forces
of "bandits” was seriously ques
tioned, and certain members of
the Congress club even drew an
analogy between the American
war for independence and the
present, struggle in Nicaragua.

Olsen and Johnson Heilig Feature
Modern vaudeville’s two most
famous mutts, Olsen and Johnson,
appear as stars in the current Hei
lig bill, "Fifty Million Frenchmen.”
Anyone who has followed news
of the theatre for the past two
or three years will remember the
film in its play form, and the phe
nomenal run it had on Broadway.
It is said that all of the piquant,
and at times, risque, dialogue, is
retained in the film version. An
imposing list of film luminaries
support the clowns.
i --!
If you haven’t yet seen George
Arliss’ magnificent portrayal of
the old shipbuilder in “Old Eng
lish,” playing for the last time at
the Colonial today, you have
missed what is collectively be
lieved to be one of the finest of all
talkie outputs.
Arliss, grand old man of Ameri
can drama, is here at his best in a
whimsical play written by John
Galsworthy, the novelist.
"Stepping Out,” much touted
laugh fest playing today at the
McDonald theatre, really fills the
bill. At least we find a show that
justifies the blurbs. The plot is
nothing, if not less, the direction is
mediocre, but the lines and lanky
Charlotte Greenwood make a hi
larious party of it. The rest of the
cast are well fitted to their roles:
Cliff Edwards, Leila Hyams, and
Reginald Denny.

Co-Education not Prevalent
In India9 Debate Team Finds
By DAVID WILSON
Co-education is not a social in
stitution in British India. Robert
T. Miller, manager of the Univer
sity of Oregon Pacific Basin de
bate tour, discovered by chance
that education of both sexes at one
school was not even considered de
sirable.
Bob secured most of the 52
speaking engagements which the
Oregon team, consisting of Miller,
Roger Pfaff, and David Wilson,
will fill between June and Decem
ber on their 35,000 mile tour, by
writing to all the schools of which
he could secure names and ad
dresses, in the eight countries to
be visited. Back came this answer
from a school in India which he
had written to with little knowl
edge of its character:
“Replying to your letter of Jan
uary first, I am sorry to inform
you that it will be impossible to
have your debating team visit the
Farrukhabad Middle school. In the
first place, none of the pupils
know English, and secondly, the
school is a ‘parda school’ for girls
only, and no men are allowed in
side.”
There are many other amusing
letters in the extensive files which
Miller has kept of tour correspond
ence during the last two years.
The president of Yale college in
China refused an offer of a debate,
explaining that two Chinese armies
had recently held an extended de
bate on the college campus, and
had “used my office for a machine
gun nest.”
A student body officer of Hong
kong university'expressed doubt as
to whether “three American-style
beds” could be found on the cam
pus for the use of the Oregon team.
The same school also agreed to
"debate any subject provided it
does not involve international dis
agreement or political contro
versy.” Pfaff, who will be debate
manager for the Oregon team, is
still trying to think up a question
which will meet those require
ments.
A more serious note runs
through many letters, which tell
of the prevalence of financial de
pression in their countries. Some
schools even expressed doubt as to
whether or not they would be able
to provide board and lodging for
three visitors over a two or three
day period.
There are many practical trans
portation problems that have had
to be worked out by letters and ca
blegrams back and forth, accord
ing to Miller. Foochow college, sit
uated along the Chinese coast,
asked to have exact day and time
of arrival sent to them well in ad
vance, stating that ships could not
come into the shallow water at
that point, and that it would be
necessary to send a motor launch
out to meet the Oregon team.
The determination of the three
Oregon debaters to go through
their itinerary with the mental re
solve to learn from foreign stu
dents rather than to instruct them
was re-inforced by a letter from
an instructor of English in a Chin
ese academy, whose British origin
was revealed by this passage:
"Glad to hear that you are coming
and we will be delighted to enter
tain you. You jolly well can in
struct us, byt not with a capital
‘I.’ We have seen too much of the
effect that the condescending, ‘in
structive attitude of American vis
itors has on the sensitive and proud
Chinese temperament.”

Keep Academic and Social
Work Separate, Says Tuttle
Plan in Use at University
Of lotva Is Favored
By Educator
(Editor’s note: This is the sev
enth of a series of articles con
cerning united student religious
work and its relation to the Ore
gon campus.)
By JACK BELLINGER
A University of Oregon school
of religion, such as has already
been incorporated, and a religious
program which leaves the academ
ic instruction separate from the
social activity centered associa
tions, such as exists at the Uni
versity of Iowa, is advocated by
H. S. Tuttle, associate professor
of education, and founder of In
ternational house on the Oregon
campus.
Mr. Tuttle does not favor a re
ligious program which combines
the school of religion, Christian as
sociations, and church organiza
tions, such as exists at the Univer
sity of California at Los Angeles,
but rather favors keeping the aca
demic and the social work hpart.
“Purely intellectual life isolated
from real social relationships is
not only abnormal, but it results
in less efficiency. Such a program
needs a leader of an entirely dif
ferent type than an academic
leader,” Mr. Tuttle said.
Mr. Tuttle pointed out that com
munity forums, dramatics, and mu
sical programs in various commun
ity centers could be very effec
tively led by campus people in such
a program, thus performing a de
sirable service for the communi
ties and giving the students an
adequate social program.
The school of religion of the
University of Iowa, which Mr. Tut
tle-favors, is a cooperative effort
between the University and the
organized religious groups of the
state to provide a high grade pro
gram of religious education as a
part of the curricular and extra
curricular life of the university.
The school, which is now in its
fourth year, is proving itself an
increasingly valuable factor in the
life of the institution.
It has the advantage of great
religious divisions, good classroom
teaching, credits so as to assute
serious work by students, and the
dignity which restores religion to
the rank of a field of learning on
a level with whatever major any
student may be engaged in and re
spect. u

ett and Elmer Hall, both from
Oregon, used to be my aides, one
for three years, the other for five
years.” The general’s face softened
even more genially as he men
tioned the two Oregon football
players. Beckett and Hall were
both star players in the ranks of
Oregon’s gridiron gladiators, Beck
ett playing tackle on the Oregon
team that beat Pennsylvania 16
to 0 at the Pasadena classic in
1916.
"I wish I could go to bed and
sleep like you fellows,” he ad
dressed the group of men about
him. "They just seem to take
turns in keeping me awake. They
come in pairs, and when one be
gins to yawn he goes off to catch
a few hours’ sleep, while the other
stands watch. When you start
i anything you’re bound to get in
volved deeper and deeper, so the
best thing to do is not to start
anything at all.”
j The general looked longingly to
ward the stairway. “Gee, but I’d
like to crawl into one of your
bunks for the night,” he sighed.
