Think of the Tangible Results 'T'HE significance and importance of the Pacific Basin good will ambassadors’ accomplishments seem slowly to be sink ing into the mind of the student body. Yesterday’s assembly was attended by a crowd of students who showed real enthu siasm. International good will still is an intangible reality far re moved from the consciousness of most of us, in spite of our efforts to realize its importance. Just how important is the personal contact of our three representatives with the student organizations and student representatives of New Zealand, Aus tralia, Japan ? What tangible result will come from the speaking engagements of Pfaff, Miller, and Wilson before the Rotary clubs of China and India? These are the questions we put to ourselves. Failing to find any answer as dynamic as could be wished for, we hastily con clude that the matter is not so important as athletic relations with Oregon State. And we dismiss the subject from considera tion. Herein we are wrong. Pursue the question farther. Study out the possible interest their trip may have in dollars and cents within the next year. One Australian family may move to Ore gon, favorably impressed with the state as publicized by the Oregon debaters. Some of the children of that family may come to the University. One of the boys may be pledged to YOUR tong. One of the girls may in three of YOUR classes. If she is good-looking, and you like her accent—the Australian accent is very un-English—the tangible results of the Pacific Basin tour will begin to make themselves evident in romantic fashion. In an address before the Eugene chamber Monday night, Bob Miller said that the Japanese were exceedingly friendly toward the United .States. Many who were there believed, until Miller assured them differently, that the Japanese were quite the op posite. Now let us suppose that the difficulty between Japan and China should not be ironed out as effectually as we might wisn; that talk of intervention was raised. Those who heard and be lieved Bob Miller would not be willing to support a demand for intervention; they would not be willing to pass judgment on the Japanese as inimical to the United States and to our inter ests in the Orient. Their attitude would be reflected in their conversation with their neighbors. And in Eugene there would be a bloc of conciliatory opinion which would be strongly influ ential. Should there be several such blocs, public opinion on the matter of intervention would be directed toward a rational set tlement of the difficulty, and the final tangible effect on us would be an interest in the outcome of negotiations which might conceivably amount to public participation in the argument. There is in this possibility the further aspect that, as a reward for such participation, the girl from Australia might smile favor ably on YOUR suit. That, again, is tangible. Yet again, the firm for which some, or many, of us may work after graduation might find that business with firms in China, Japan, and India has been made possible through inquiries resulting from Rotary club addresses of Pfaff and Wilson and Miller. Willi the added turnover, they find that they need an extra clerk. YOU will be given a salary raise, and a better job. The new employee, also a college graduate, will be made office boy in your place. That also is quite tangible. And now you ask us what possible result of importance has or could come from the Pacific Basin good-will tour? Justice Holmes Resigns LIVER WENDELL HOLMES resigned yesterday from the United States supreme court bench after 30 years of de voted service. His decisions and opinions have established prece dents and guide posts of liberalism and humane tolerance since 1902, when he was appointed by President Roosevelt. Though frequently with the minority, he never was one to bow to the weight of a conservative majority. The fine and spirited example which Mr. Justice Holmes lived for 30 years as a member of the highest tribunal of the land is worthy of the strictest emulation. Intelligence and tolerance are necessary qualities of the great, and Holmes has demonstrated these attri butes for nearly 91 years. “The time has come, and 1 bow to the inevitable,” lie said in his letter of resignation. “Your great work is finished,” we add. “We offer our thanks.” The Waterloo, Iowa, elevator operator who married an Eng lish woman and thus won a baronetcy is the first of his profes sion we know of w ho really got up in the world. The snow brought enjoyment to a few persons on the campus at least. Some students from California and Hawaii saw the feathery flakes for the first time. Distracted sports writers, if the present controversy continues much longer, are apt to start calling Oregon's athletic teams “Pion-foots” or “Web-eers.” The man who runs for the presidency these days must either have a supreme confidence in his owu ubilitv, or an insane desire t- H V • * »L ” to hold'public cilice.

Be a nice boy, and I'll give you a nice, swift lollypop in the slats. Well, anyway, there was a trav eling salesman that , Oh, pardon me. That’s another story indeed. This is the one I meant to tell you. There was a boy who came to college. Yes, they still do that. This boy was a very, very nize sorta fella, always went to Sunday school and practiced his music les son every day. One night, a bunch of the boys was whooping it up with a big bull session, and Eddie (that was his name) was sitting into it. All the boys were sitting around, and pret ty soon one of them pulled out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to Eddie. (His name was Eddie.) “No, thanks,” said Eddie (for that was the boy’s name) drawing out a package, “I’ll smoke one of my own.” Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you his name was Eddie. 11 Little Morphine Annie gets buck on the job attain with the crack that “She was only a tugboat cap tain’s (laughter, but she was Kerry nice to me.” * * * AND, LEST YE FORGET, THE MONMOUTH I MEAN MAM MAMMOTH TITLE CONTEST CLOSES TONIGHT.

Kansas University School Is Modeled on One Here Ex-Oregon Head Began System While Teaching There The discovery that fhe college of commerce at the University of Kansas is modeled after the com merce school at Oregon was made recently when Dean Faville of the school of business administration received a letter from Dean Frank Stockton of the University of Kan sas. Dean Stockton found while writ ing the history of the Kansas de partment of economics that the system used had been inaugurated by Dr. Frank Strong, former pres ident of the University of Oregon from 1899 to 1902. It is usually thought that the school of business administration at Oregon was established in 1914 but investigations of the Univer sity catalogs definitely date it back into the nineteenth century. When Dr. Strong was president of the University the courses of fered at the business administra tion school included foreign lan guage, elementary engineering, history of commerce, finance, ex change, banking, business meth ods, and general economics.

Collegiate Bards Asked To Hand in Oregana Poems AS was said once last term: “Now is the time for all wouid-be poets to come to the aid of their year-book.’’ The Oregana reeds high quality verse for its literary section. Nothing of the Ogden Nash type unless extremely clever will be even considered, except for lighting fires. If there are any Elizabeth Barrett Brownings or collegiate Keats’ on the campus, show your metal, or rather, your verse, to the literary editor of the Oregana. By the way, the Oregana office Is in McArthur court, and the deadline for copy comes very soon.

HOOVER IN OAKLAND Dr. Glenn Edwin Hoover, for merly a professor in the econom ics department of the University is now a city councilman at Oak land, California, and is also teach ing in a college there. In a recent number of Paciific Municipalities devoted to the interests of the League of California Municipali ties, League of Oregon Cities, anc other associations, there appeared an article by Professor Hoover en titled, “Wages in the Public Serv ices.” BOOKS OF THE DAY EDITED BY ROY SHEEDY 1 A Trilogy of Three Plays, cm cm FA TRILOGY OF THREE PLAYS Mourning Becomes Electra. By Eu gene O'Neil. Liveright. By ROY SHEEDY In these days of literature and ' drama something either strikingly original or very extreme seems necessary to cause more than a ripple of attention among the crit ics and blase public. O’Neil chose the last named course, going to the very omega of cold-blooded drama in telling this story of fam i ily morals in high-tension post war days. Nine acts of murder, suicide, adultery, incestuous desire and deep hatred produce the effect for which the author was striving, that of making his play a sensa tion. It is to O’Neil’s credit that while he is successful in this, he does not allow his work to become cheap or melodramatic as it sure ly would have in less adept hands. Reviewed as a stage perform ance, one wonders how an audience could sit through five hours of this kind of thing, witnessing lurid cli max after climax without becom ing bored, but reviewed as litera-‘ ture, no such question is raised; the play holds one’s interest more than any novel. There is no room here to tell the plot, other than that O’Neil chose one of epic and complex propor tions. And if he has not succeed ed in telling the story, it is be cause of the task he attempted rather than from any lack of skill. This criticism has a harsher tone than the reviewer actually feels. By aiming at the stars, O’Neil has come very close to reaching them. ‘‘Mourning Becomes Electra” is a masterly piece of workmanship, showing America’s greatest play right at his best. The play can hardly be recommended too highly. Doesn’t' Apply Here!
