T7OLLOWING pre-election predictions, Ramsay MacDonald’s national government has won a smashing victory at the British polls. The cabinet leader’s former party, labor, has met with its worst defeat in years, and the conservative triumph is so complete that the party may be able to completely dominate the next parliament. On what issues did MacDonald so win the British popular support? In his campaign the government leader said: “These are times of exceptional urgency and exceptional conditions which demand exceptional treatment.The government must therefore be free to consider every proposal likely to help, such as tariffs, the expansion of exports, the contraction of im ports, commercial treaties, and mutual economic arrangements with the dominions. It must watch how the devaluation of money and the economies which had to be made to balance the budget affect our people to protect.ihem against exploitation.” No real issue is made, no real plan evolved for the salvation of the British government and the return of the pound sterling to par value all that is asked is that the national government be allowed a free hand in working out the problems of the country. And MacDonald, a traitor to the party and the party ideals that lifted him to the government leadership, wins on such a platform. He asks for a dictatorship and gets it. The attempts made so far to balance the British budget since the crash of the pound sterling have been far from satisfactory. The cut in allowances for ihe dole means further hardship for Britain's army of unemployed. No matter what criticism has been made of the dole, particularly in this country, it has been concrete evidence to the British unemployed that the govern ment was making a real effort to help them out. Nothing less could have averted revolutionary symptoms in the country. Mil lions unemployed can create quite a stir when aroused. That these people still have faith in their government seems indi cated by the overwhelming conservative majority. What will MacDonald do now? If he remains at the head of the government, he will probably advocate a tariff for the protection of home industries. He has indicated such a course will be necessary. It is a complete going over to the conserva tive protectionists, and a throwdown of his party and the prin ciples of free trade. Furthermore, it is hardly probable that a protectionist tariff is going to help Great Britain any more than the Hawley-Smoot tariff is going to save the United States. The MacDonald regime is going to be an interesting one to follow, and the course of events in Great Britain is going to influence largely the rest of the world. The United States, too, may see considerable excitement in the next presidential elec tion. And it would not be surprising to see President Hoover use the words of Ramsay MacDonald in campaigning for re election. "These are times of exceptional urgency and excep tional conditions . . .” The Art School Scores ELCOME indeed is the announcement in yesterday's Em T T erald ol' the honors which itavc come to Glenn Gardiner, graduate of the University school of architecture and allied arts, this summer. Gardiner has just been given an apprenticeship with Lloyd Wright, son of the famous exponent of modern art, Frank Lloyd Wright. In addition, he has had an article on city planning uccepted by a leading magazine, and has been invited to speak before the national convention of the American Institute of City Planners. Much of the praise will go to Gardiner for being able to do such outstanding work to gain the recognition which has just come to him. But not a little of the credit for his unusual opportunities is due to University school of architecture anil allied arts, where he received his training. The local school, we are proud to say, has been termed the outstanding architecture school in the country by the board of inspection of Collegiate Schools of Architecture. That such rec ognition should he given a school on the Pacific coast, compara tively isolated from the so-called "culture centers" of the East, is itself noteworthy to a high degree. In company with other schools and departments of the University, it is evidence of the progress which this institution is gradually, making, despite "de pression” handitiips. LEMON ♦ ♦ PALOOKA Now that we know the terrible conditions under which we sur vived the last year on the Oregon campus, we can draw down the corner of our mouth and look blue. #• * * We n >ve that a leather medal be awarded the heroic investigator who braved the terrors of a “small pox epidemic” to get the low-down on health conditions at Oregon. AND THREE BIERS FOR THE MAGAZINE THAT PUBLISHED THE ARTICLE! We think it was a grave of fense against Oregon and it should be re-hearsed. * * * THE COURAGEOUS WRITER OF THE FEARLESS ARTICLE IS LIKE THE CO-ED THAT FLUNKED MATH SHE DOES NOT COUNT. What's this we hear about a certain well-known editor on this campus talking, while in a Sep tember Morn costume, to a girl ? Oh, yes—it was over the tele phone; but here is the dirt: It seems that the great man was indulging in the luxury of a shower bath at his fraternity house (yes, they do have such things) when he was first tele phoned by one of his male assist ants who kept him shivering in the cold air as long as he could. Who then, should decide to pester him, but a bevy of girls (over the telephone). The first called him up. “Oh, Bill,” she cooed. (We'll call our hero Bill for purposes of disguise.) “Uh-huh.” “ 'Member me ?” “Can’t say I do.” “I met you at the Olympic Ho tel during the Seattle game. Don’t you remember ” "Oh, My Gawd!” The telephone was shattered as the fainting man let it fall. All of which emphasizes a point —be careful what you say, think, or do at out-of-town games.

Grit your teeth, here goes: BLANK VERSE * * * * ♦ * * # WELL, THERE YOU ARE, EVERYBODY. IF THAT ISN’T BLANK, NOTHING EVER WAS. * * * That terrible Dr. Pollard, the geezer that gives his 8:00 o’clock students yawning exercises, stop ped yesterday to converse demo cratically with a poor tree sur geon. After a few sympathetic words about the way trees lost their leaves: “Too bad about these trees,” the tree surgeon said. “How is that?” the German pro fessor asked. “Why, they’re all leaving.” “Gottdammerlung!” e x c laimed Pollard disgustedly. P. S. for the Censor: Gottdam merlung is not profanity. * *• * And now, everyone, Ethel L. Cohall makes her first report: Dear Lemon Palooka: This is a terrible business, send ing a girl such as myself into a dump like the Sigma Boo house— the one between Spilyard and Brawlder on the mill pond. The Sigma Boo's are too strong for a weak little girl like me to investigate properly. I did notice that they had several loving cups including Falter Horblad. The boys go in for childish pas times like playing hop-scotch in dormitory pigging parlors. Also, if they see a cellar, they go in for anything they can find. Grape jelly is especially beloved. Will Park'er and • his multi horned car hang out here. Mc Swilligon, the volleyball sensation, and Healthy Locum, premiere canoeist, did their best to enter tain me as a lady shouldn’t be en tertained. Some of the boys keep growling eternally about an unfaithful girl of theirs that was stolen by some Washington super-personality men I heard so much about the los< Sigma Boo siren that 1 got mad and left.

Little Irvin saysi he heard plans are under way for its recovery, but—— The Heart Bomb Of Aunt Eppie Dear Aunt Eppie: In a recent campus production I was forced to dye my hair a bril liant red. Do you think I should leave it in the auburn state or should I have it transformed to one of the extremely popular platinum blonde shades? (a la Pi Phi). Affectionately, Carian Mamp. Dear Carian: I would very heartily suggest that you leave it red so that it will blend with the woodwork in the College Slide. I would not en dorse the platinum shade because it is being run into the ground by several of last year’s brunettes. Yours truly, Aunt Eppie. P. S.—That makes you a com munist.
