We Need Action XXTITH the faculty’s decision made on graduation and junior T certificate requirements under the new alphabetical grad ing system, the interfraternity council must now speed up and settle once and for all the perplexing question facing hundreds of freshmen on the campus—“How many points will I need for initiation?’’ We are only three weeks from the end of the term, yet no freshman, or upperclassman either, has a definite idea as to what house grade requirements will be. Many are the surmises made, but no definite action has been taken. The interfraternity council, since the new grading system was explained to it by Dr. C. L. Huffaker, has had plenty of time to think over initiation requirements. Now we would like to see some decision. The first of next week is none too soon for such action. Initiate quality or quantity—this was the question put squarely before the interfraternity council by Dr. Huffaker. On the 0.75 of a grade point per hour basis quality would result. The 12-point basis, he said, would bring quantity. University scholastic standards are rising. Should not fra ternity initiation standards rise at the same time ? We say, adopt the 0.75 house grad6 requirement. Musings of the Week Somebody said the Homecoming urches (they look more like oil-well derricks) were to be permanent this year. Seems that way, we ll admit. They’ve been up for a week already. * * * * • In reporting the Mathews’ incident, the Eugene Register Guard had an amusing typographical error: “He took out his resignation material . . .” That’s what it turned out to be. i|: $ »i« 4* H! Passive resistance is a powerful weapon. Witness what such action on the part of the heads of houses did to the Emerald's co-ed popularity contest. 41 tit sit 4t m Sports writers seeking a stronger name than Wcbfoots for Oregon’s football team can have the one used by Herr M. Fischer with our compliments. "Schwimmhautfusse” sounds too much like water polo to suit us. ***** The University symphony orchestra, its conductor, Rex Un derwood, and soloist, Dean John J. Landsbury, presented an ex cellent concert Thursday evening. We hope more of them are in store. ***** That word "depression" has been ruled out of popular speech in some communities. "Ineligible" might well come in for the same treatment on the Oregon campus. i Mr. Average Man Thinks The editorial page of any newspaper is only a small part of the complete bulk of that pa per. In a still smaller propor tion is the amount of space giv en to expression of the opinions of the people who read the pa per. It is the purpose of this column to present a collective View of student opinion on sub jects of general interest. This column is not written by a mem ber of the Emerald staff and any opinions published are not necessarily the opinions ol the editor of the Emerald. It must be the weather that is responsible for so much contro versy and backbiting in collegiate circles these days. Down in Cali fornia schools they manage to spread their scandals over the course of the whole year. Up here the rainy season starts the “in vestigations." * ¥ * ]What is the truth about these football ineligibilities anyway? Some one must be right and some one wrong. Of course Oregon be lieves Mr. Howe and Oregon State believes Mr. Cordley. The average man opines that it will all be for gotten and forgiven by the time the football moguls meet to wran gle over next year’s •’naturals,” "breathers,” and the various per centages of gate receipts there from. Under the head of "too techni cal” comes the revisions of the University grade system. About the only students who need to wor ry are those who in former years have slid by with grades of "X." A few of the newer professors may apply the revisions seriously but it’s a fair guess that many of the older ones will make as little change as possible. * » * Now tlial a new international situation has arisen in the Orient many members of the faculty hold post mortem* on the crisis as an impromptu part of classes. It’s a good idea and there ought to be more discussion along that line. * * * Outside of the weather, perhaps the most popular casual topic of conversation among students is that of SLEEP. Dean of Women Schwering thinks that college stu dents get far too little sleep. On the other hand, Thomas Edison thought that the body functioned best when occupied a maximum amount of the 24 hours. He con sidered four hours plenty of sleep and upon that theory lived to be 83 years old. The truth probably is that, within reasonable limits, what the individual considers enough sleep is the proper amount. Forget how much sleep you’ve lost in the last week or month and you won’t be half as tired and v/orn out. It’s mental. # Sf« Wonder what a man goes to school for? To gain knowledge and mental training or to defend the honor of the old school by be ing chief ballyhoo in charge of tid dledewinks, etc., etc., etc.? Looks like Mathews tried to put the ca boose before the horse or some thing. i? The Heart Bomb Of Aunt Eppie Dear Aunt Eppie: I was all hopped up about this “Health Weak" posture contest, and all of the girls in the house told me that I ought to win the gold inlaid easy chair offered for the prize. Imagine my embarrass ment when I went to the tea (standing as straight as possible) only to find that I did not win. Why didn’t I win? Befuddled, Radrian Fabin. Dearest Radrian: I am not an authority on pos ture but from a chance observa tion I would say that you have the malady known to science as “Lord helpus Backline.” (see Ballyhoo). I don’t know what this is, and neither do you, but what the h—, it lost you the highly coveted prize. Sympathetically, Aunt Eppie. BLIND STUDENT HOLDS UP FAMILY TRADITION (Continued from Page One) term of last year. No other has ever been named among the Senior Six, according to Dean James H. Gilbert, of the school of literature, science, and arts. Miss Hall expects to graduate at the end of winter term, though normally she would finish school in June. She gives tire necessity of ad hering closely to a schedule of study and relaxation as the reason for her scholastic success. “To make things right with both the reader and myself,” she said, "we must make appointments, be there when we say we will, and get things done within the time available.” ' ' *>1 Classified Advertisements Hates Payable in Advance 10c a line for first insertion; 5c a line for each additional insertion.

Not to be outdone as the neme sis of possible national champions, the Bruins matched Oregon’s vic tory over N. Y. U. with a 12-0 win against St. Mary’s on Armistice day, but lost their first string quarterback and only first class passer in doing so. Len Bergdahl is nursing a chipped ankle bone and will be out of a uniform for the remainder of the season. His place will be taken by John Fletch er, diminutive open field runner. Outside this casualty and with the I possible absence of Captain Nor : man Duncan, the Bruins will be at full strength for the invasion of the Webfeet.

The pictures must be placed in an envelope with the donor’s name, address and telephone number. Accorded Large Turnout at Manila If Oregon students accept the word of Robert Miller, one of Ore gon’s Pacific basin debaters, there might be some justification for the anonymous letter from Manila that appeared in a recent edition of the Emerald, for the debate between the Oregon team and the Univer sity of Manila was certainly a knockout, according to the debat er. “Though we didn't have as big a crowd as the World Tour had, nevertheless we cannot complain,” said Miller, in a letter received by Walter E. Hempstead, faculty ad viser for the Basin Tour. “The de bate was broadcast, and we were told that every business house where there was a radio, big crowds stood around listening, like they do in the United States on the eve of a world’s championship box ing match. “The results of the debate were announced in glaring headlines on the front pages of the Manila newspapers. Every time we made a move or said anything it imme diately appeared in the newspapers on the front page and the editors were not the least bit backward about using us for subject matter in their editorial columns. “So we are through with our big gest debate, and I believe that we cbuld not have been much more successful.” The debate was heard by radio in New Zealand, Australia, China, the Straits, and Japan, according to reports received in Manila. At present the debaters are in Tokio, Japan, where they will be until December 2. From there they will sail for Hawaii, the last country to be visited during the tour. If they follow their sched ule as it has been outlined, they will arrive in Eugene January 8. Sigma Delta Chi Chapter At OSC Wins Second Prize Word has been received that the Oregon State chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalistic fraternity, won second place in the national efficiency contest in#competition with 37 oth er chapters of the fraternity at the national convention which was held on the University of Minnesota campus at Minneapolis. The report from Ralph David, Oregon delegate to the convention and president of the local chapter, was that Iowa State took first place with one more point than O. S. C. The Oregon chapter was ranked as eighth in this national contest sponsored by the fraternity for better efficiency among the var ious chapters throughout the coun try. CO-OP BOOK STORE HOLDS OPEN HOUSE (Continued from Page One) Mr. Smith closed his talk by quoting from “Gallions Reach,” by Tomlinson.

Debaters BOOKS OF THE DAY EDITED BY ROY SHEEDY MORE ABOUT RUSSIA The XYZ of Communism. By Ethan T. Colton. The Macmillan Co. As a general guide a thoroughly fair treatment of the Russian sit uation, Ethan T. Colton’s recent book, “XYZ of Communism,” is one of the best. Illustrated with several dozen biting cartoons from the Soviet press, documented with statements of Soviet officials and comprehensive quotations from the Communist periodicals, up to date in most ways, the “XYZ” car ries the impression of sound schol arship, accurate observation, and a knowledge of what makes good reading. Colton has outlined the dogmas of the party as set forth ten years ago, and has then pictured the re sults of the application of these policies. The result is enlightening. The author’s connection with Russia during and after the fam ine of 1921 as a member of the In ternational committee of the Y. M. C. A. has given him a wealth of material for use in one of the best chapters in the book, that on “Communism and Religion.” “Cre ating Communist Mentality” is a penetrating study of educational methods in the schools and among the masses, and brings with it a sane evaluation of Soviet social endeavors. The opening chapter on “The Class War" is probably the one most likely to be digested by our society, for it is a calm and fair discussion of the vital element of Communism,—the destruction of the bourgoisie, the elevation to dic tatorship of the proletariat, that creature of the industrial age. Backed by evidence of every pub lic measure of value, Colton pro pounds the theory of the work man’s rule, shows how it is applied in Russia today, and then unfolds the story of its tragedies. College professors, he says, receive less than janitors, both in wages and in food rations. What all this means to ourselves becomes evident in the chapters, “The Red Empire,” showing the close-knit structure of present-day Russia, and “World Revolution,” explaining the exact nature of the Communist party propaganda, a3 expressed by party leaders, and of governmental expansion. —Jack Bauer. * * * NATIONAL BOOK WEEK This is National Book week, and the High Hat library of the Uni versity Co-op is doing its part to aid the cause. They are empha sizing children’s books. If you will be looking for presents to give small brothers and sisters, this is a good opportunity. OREGON IS GIVEN $9250 ADDITIONAL IN GRANTS (Continued from Page One) plishment in this field has already been accorded the University since the summer work has been effec tive. The research in the field of ar tistic appreciation is based on the belief long held by modern psy chologists and educators, that hu man behavior is conditioned by emotions rather than by intellect. The project under way at Oregon is seeking to develop a symmetri cal program of education that should seek to deal with all phases of life. Training and development of emotional as well as intellec tual activities is included as a vital part of this program. Faculty Committee Directs The work was started last year under the direction of a committee composed of leading faculty mem bers. The project is seeking defi nitely to determine what, if any, relationship exists between the en hanced capacity for appreciation of beauty in the arts and the en hancement of one’s altruistic urge, I response to civic appeal and ideals I in personal life. This is being done I by a series of tests given not only | to students but to faculty mem bers and others. “If there is any relationship between these two types of emo tional reaction, it will mean that education will have found a method by which we may consciously im prove the altruistic and spiritual life of those whom it educates,” says Dr. Hall. Emotional Life Must Be Developed “If education is to meet the challenge of the new day, it must develop emotional life so that the response to the emotional stimulus of the age will be constructive rather than destructive, will lead to expression in forms that are beautiful, rather than primitive and that will become a great spir itual force rather than its re verse.” The work being done under the Carnegie grant received warm commendation from Dr. Henry Suzzalo, president of the Carnegie corporation, when he was on the campus last summer, and it is also attracting the attention of nation ally known educators all over the United States.
