A Welcome for the Ambassadors 'T'HREE young men who have carried the good names of the University, the state, and the Pacific Northwest to many audiences on a 35,000-mi)e tour of the Pacific Basin will come home Friday. It should be a gala day on the campus, when the student body welcomes back three of its members who for seven months have been acting as good-will ambassadors to far-away countries. Completion of the Pacific Basin good-will tour, coupled with the round-the-world debate trip made some five years ago by three other undergraduates, Walter Hempstead, Avery Thomp son, and Benoit McCroskey, puts Oregon unquestionably on top in forensics, and marks the University as a leader in furthering better international student relations. From all sources nothing but praise of the fine appearance made by the three Oregon seniors has come back to the campus. Every city visited on the Pacific Basin tour has turned out with a royal welcome for the men, and San Francisco, Astoria, and Portland have lately added to the receptions. The campus’ cele bration on the return of Robert Miller, Roger Pfaff and David Wilson will surely be warm, demonstrative and sincere. The fact that other young men placed in their fortunate position might have done as well should not enter and cloud the question. The value of the tour to the University, the state and the entire West is beyond measurement. We owe an expression of appre ciation to our returning good-will ambassadors. “Mitch Your Wagon ....” A PROMINENT banker of the state once declared: “Most young men and women do not bite off big enough jobs for themselves. Their ambitions are not up to their capabili ties.” Young people do not set really high goals for themselves, this same man asserted. Long before passing the period of great est activity and usefulness they have realized their ambition. Having satisfied themselves, they spend some of their best years making little progress, stagnated. Perhaps they "get some where,” but they do not get as far in that “somewhere” as they are capable of doing. With the training which a University education gives to the intelligent, thinking student there is even less reason for these inadequate goals. The mental habits and stimulation which ac crue from a higher education make plain the goals which are possible of achievement, and these are potentially within the grasp of the great majority of University students. With the glow of the New Year not yet past, we can reflect without being accused of sentimentalism on the old wise saying, “Hitch your wagon to a star.” Few have gone backward when they took that adage seriously. In All Fairness «npi IE Emerald policy will be a fearless one, ever seeking to be fair, just, and helpfill.” We made the above statement in our first issue of fall term, and in line with it we brought to the attention of the campus later in the term the facts of the so-called Mathews incident. Now, in all fairness, we have something else to say. When the last Emerald for fall term had come off the press, Ralph David, associate editor, said that he, too, was not a full-time student in the University and so not eligible to have held his position. He was, though, taking extension classes at night, and thought that since he was appointed last spring term when he was a regularly registered student could hold his position. He is back in school this term as a full-time student and will continue in his past position. While the two cases seem analogous at first thought, the facts behind them are different. We hope that these two inci dents will prevent similar situations from arising later in student body affairs. Just what is this lure in the Lure of Music class anyway? Students in 8 o'clocks yesterday morning seemed to catch up on plenty of lost sleep. Oh, the joy of getting back to the campus after a vacation! The dollar is back to a 100-cent purchasing power as com pared with its 60-odd cent strength in October, 1929. That's great, if you have the dollar. New Year's resolutions? Ed and Co-ed say they didn't make any this year. It's the depression. Today's crushing remark to a pledge: "Did you make your grades?” LEMON ♦ ♦ PALOOKA , WILL SOME KIND GENT WIN HIMSELF IMMORTAL FAME BY EXPLAINING TO US WHAT THE LAST 25 CENTS OF THE REGIS TRATION FEE IS USED FOR? “Hawk” Shaw, our managing <■<!., tolls the staff that they are onee again on trial for their jobs, and that they must show their metal.

Mr. Gottlieb com pleted seven years at Oregon without j once passing a course. He would attend classes until exam week and then drop all subjects. In this manner, he had the distinction of never flunked a course. How he remained in school is as yet unexplained, but some people say it was done with mir rors.

Costumes Required At a committee meeting Tues day afternoon Virginia Grone, chairman for the Capers, empha sized that the affair will be cos tume as in the past. She also sug gested that girls ‘'date” their friends for the event. This custom is carried out on an elaborate scale in other colleges and is said to be very successful. Stunts will be judged as follows: originality, 50 per cent, presenta tion, 25 per cent, artistry and tech nique, 25 per cent. Judges will in clude Mrs. Burt Brown Barker, Mrs. Hazel Frutsman Schwering, Mrs. Alice B. Macduff, Mrs. W. F. Jewett, Mrs. Anne Landsbury Beck, Miss Maude I. Kerns, Miss Hilda Swenson, Mrs. Clara M.

Between stunts and features Con Hammond’s orchestra will provide music for dancing. IN YU NTS NEW TESTS For those who have long felt j that present intelligence tests af-1 ford inadequate gauging of one’s intelligence, the invention of Dr H. Brown will be of interest. He has recognized the inadequacy of present tests due to previous j knowledge or training and tries to I make his tests based on a more fundamental intelligence. The tests measure chiefly the ability to ar range and discriminate between objects of different shapes and j Meet., and the speed \uth which I these feats are accomplic-hed.

Orme and Long Present Recital Tuesday Evening The first student recital of the winter term was given last night at the Music building, and set a high standard for future concerts. Kathryn Orme, pianist, and Lewi3 Long, bass-baritone, were the solo ists. The concert next Tuesday will feature John Spittle, tenor, and Carl Lemke, pianist. Long opened last night’s pro gram with three classic program songs. His second group contained modern arrangements of three ne gro spirituals, “Little David,” "Hard Times,” and “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen,” fa miliar to nearly every listener. The songs were arranged by Burleigh. Miss Orme played the classical Beethoven “Rondo in G” and Cho pin’s romantic “Waltz in D Flat.” Her second group, ail by modern composers, contained works of Sto jowski, Ibert, and MacDowell. Long closed the recital with a spirited performance of three fine songs well sung. They were Ham blin’s “Restless Sea,” Fisher’s "Tavern Song,” and the beautiful “Hills of Home,” by Fox. Other students who will appear in these weekly recitals, given at S p. m. every Tuesday evening in the auditorium of the University Music building, are Rose Simons, contralto, Neva Lois Thompson, pianist, Velma Powell, soprano, Edna Whitmer, pianist, Edith Grim, pianist, Ralph Coie, baritone, Margaret Wood, pianist, Kenneth Roduncer, tenor, Jane Kanzler, pianist, Beulah Wynd, violinist, Peggy Sweeney, violinist, Freda Stadter, pianist, Mary Galey, pian ist, and George Barron, basso.

Moley, of Columbia uni versity, and research director of the newly created New York Crime commission, and will study the in vestigations being made by the New York legislative committee which is now probing the adminis tration of criminal justice in New York City.

NOTICE 31 lie (Jucoauut ($nntc ANNOUNCING Carl Collins and his Kampus Knights For Winter Term OPENING FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NEW \KK ANGEMENTS NEW FEATURES KEMODEEEU ELOOK 1 Pacific Basin Debaters Meet Tokyo Wesleyans Foreign Church Workers Send Greetings to Oregon When the Pacific Basin debaters return to Eugene Friday, they will bring to the local Wesley club, which each year sends $25 to the Wesley Foundation in Japan, per sonal greetings from the Tokyo student center of the Wesley Foun dation, whose members entertained Roger Pfaff and Robert Miller while they were in Tokyo. David Wilson, the third member of the team, was ill in a hospital at Kobe during the time. The money which the Methodist students’ organization sends as a gift to the Japanese students helps to support the work carried on by T. T. Brumbaugh, director of the Wesley Foundation in Japan. Mr. and Mrs. Brumbaugh entertained Pfaff and Miller at a dinner given at their Tokyo residence. Later in the evening about thirty other Japanese students came in to meet the American de baters. The Oregon men debated informally on the merits and de fects of co-education, which has not yet found its way into Japan. CHAMPION RIFLE SHOT PAYS VISIT TO CAMPUS (Continued from Page One) “The government requires me to answer all letters,’’ he went on, “and as I was submerged by fan mail, I have been kept really busy. I got off 500 replies before the holidays and I still have an im mense pile to get off my hands. Besides hunters and rifle fans, I have been approached by all types of cranks and perpetual letter writers.” World Striving Against Self To Gain Peace, Says Smith The world is working against itself in efforts to establish inter national peace, says Warren D. Smith, geologist and world travel er. “Immigration barriers, tariff walls, and the general trend of world politics all work contrary to the idea of disarmament and good will,” he states. Racial prejudice, particularly against Asiatics, caused by immi gration restrictions, is a powerful force against world amity, Mr. Smith thinks. “Australia, Canada, Russia, United States, and many countries in South America have strong immigration barriers,” he said. A belief that the next world con flict will be between the Asiatics and the whites, held by many prominent men, is not at all impos sible, in Dr. Smith’s opinion. “As an example, should United States interfere in Manchuria a crisis might be precipitated which would throw China and Japan together for protection against the whites.” That racial prejudice must inevi tably be a strong factor in such a conflict, is Dr. Smith’s conclusion. “In spite of peace efforts nearly all politics in the United States is leading in the other direction. The older generation has failed and the problem belongs to the future citi zens now going to college,” he said. "I know little of what the aver age student thinks, but on the whole it seems that less thinking and talking about national and world affairs is done than in for mer generations,” he says. The movies, popular magazines, and wider world publicity on problems of importance has produced an apathy in the national conscious ness, according to Dr. Smith. They» make everything too easy and fill up the average person’s time. FRICTION CAUSED Cosmopolitanism in cities af fords great possibility for race friction. In Berlin Chinese stu dents ordered three Chinese restau rants to put out signs reading, “No Japanese will be served here.” When these signs were not posted, the Chinese students formed a boy cott league against the restaurants until the signs were put up. Genuine Clearance Sale -at Butch Shoe Ga McDONALD THEATRE BLDQ1032 Willamette The Truth! “All of Us Overlook Good Things Part of the Time, and a Lot of Us Overlook Them All of the Time.” A successful Eugene merchant called this to our attention the other day when we were talking to him about adver tising. “Many of those who read current advertising in the papers are apt to jeer at phrases such as Lowest Prices in 15 Years and A New Low in ValueS The funny part of it is the fact that such statements are true! “Never in the history of our business have prices been so lo wand quality so high. My advice is - - - buy now and save money later!“ And that is what we say, too. Current advertising of the Oregon Daily Emerald gives ycu tips on real values and where to buy. The Emerald is read by 3000 moderns whose buying power is over two million dollars a year.
