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?”

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. I

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.

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.
