Congress a Stumbling Block
"tTTHILE France, England, and Germany are preparing for an
” ” early meeting for the discussion of reparations payments
and war debts with the probability of further moratorium and
the possibility of some reduction, the United States congress
holds out no hope to the foreign countries that It will accept
any revision.
The attitude of congress seems to be one of absolute refusal
to face the real facts. Germany, through Chancellor Bruening,
has finally admitted what has long been obvious—that she can
not complete the reparations payments. The Hoover morato
rium, which was ratified by congress only after much opposition,
can be only a temporary respite.
In view of the world-wide depression, the German financial
crisis seems quite understandable. In fact, France places Ger
many’s inability to pay almost wholly on the depression and
insists that in ordinary times the reparations payments should
be met with ease. However, many economists hold the opinion
that under the best of conditions the reparations load is far too
great.
Lloyd George said in 1921, just before what is known as
“the London settlement,” that “everyone (meaning the allies)
wants gold, which Germany has not got; and they will not take
German goods. Nations can pay debts only by gold, goods, serv
ices, or bills of exchange on nations which are their debtors.
Germany could pay— pay easily—inside her own boundaries, but
she could not export her forests, railways, or land across her
own frontiers and make them over to the allies.”
This statement of the fact that only production in exportable
form can be used In paying international debts, and that, accord
ingly, there must be an excess of exports over imports before
a country can meet its obligations, has been well borne out in
the years following the first “settlement." Germany has not
been able to find a market for her goods and is thus unable to
make reparations payments.
The sooner the congress of the United States recognizes these
simple facts, the more rapidly wiM sensible settlement be made
in Europe.
The Junior Vodvil Goes Its Way
npHE Junior Vodvil is dead, but its passing should be a cause
for rejoicing, not lamentation. The class of 1933, by its
action Tuesday night, did not discard a live and going concern.
It threw off the fetters of a worn-out and broken-down tradition.
The class can now go ahead to make its presentation of a tuneful
Victor Herbert operetta a success.
The Junior Vodvil, when first held, was just what the name
implied. A number of short skits, cleverly and carefully done,
comprised the show. Successive years brought increased com
plexity to the performances. Some junior classes believed there
existed on the campus talent rivaling the showmanship of New
York producers. Their efforts became unwieldy revues, replete
with chorus girls, principals, and would-bc comedians who ap
peared in a production woven into a whole by a few threads of
plot. Faculty intervention next descended upon the Vodvils. Stu
dents, it is true, were devoting far too much time to the shows.
Lute rehearsals were frowned upon and eliminations in the script
were ordered. The Vodvil was no longer a student show.
Last year’s production was a flop. Its originality and pep
disappeared through faculty censorship. The show lost money
and Junior Vodvils were admittedly doomed to die.
The class of 1933 has had the courage to face the facts and
act. Once again we can look for a student show, well-done,
successful. To Bob Hull, president of the class, and Ethan New
man, Isabelle Crowell, and Gifford Nash, members of the com
mittee recommending the change to a musical production, we
offer our approval.
The district attorney in Denver has banned the sale of fiv'
magazines, charging they are filled with salacious jokes and ob
scene pictures. That's what Ballyhoo started.
A headline in tlie Eugene Register-Guard says: “Hoover in
Big Man Hunt.” After the hunt the dogs will yap and the mules
he-haw.

CAUL OKKliON “THAri’KKS"
To the Editor:
It seems superfluous perhaps to
propose another nickname for our
athletic teams to take the place of
Webfoots which is now despised
and rejected by many when so
many are in sight already. Some
thing prompts me, however, to
propose the expressive u a m c
* “Trapper^' a„ appropriate
In the first place the trappers
were the pioneers of pioneers.
Their explorations and their ex
ploits long antedated the covered
wagon. For generations they alone
held sway in this Oregon territory
They endured untold hardships,
they showed dash and courage, for
titude and almost unbelievable
hardihood. At the time when our
territorial government took shape
Oregon was known as the "land
of the trapper" whose daring and
initiative had given character to
the region into which the later pio
neers came to find the trails al
ready established. Although the
trapper made a living it was the
sheer love of the sport and the
lure of new conquests that served
as his inspiration.
Peculiar; aptness inhere the
phra.t f rapper because the name:
so frequently attached to our op
ponents in athletic contests. Call
the roll of the menagerie—griz
zlies, cougars, bears, bearcats,
bruins, and, last but not least,
beavers. If the prowess of Doc
Spears’ men keeps on increasing
they will be able to trap, skin and
otherwise exterminate the miscel
laneous fauna of the Pacific coast
region and hang up the well-dried
peltries in the Igloo. Moreover the
special prey of the early Oregon
trappers was the beaver and the
significance of this relationship
needs no further comment. If they
call us “high hats’’ it would be a
beaver addressing its remains.
May I add also that these hardy
Oregon trappers might ultimately
overcome the Trojans even with
out stopping to fabricate a wooden
horse. They were just that re
sourceful.
This new name would lend itself
to alliterative treatment. “Tri
umphant Trappers,’’ “Tricky Trap
pers,” "Trusty Trappers,” etc., are
a few of the phrases that occur at
once. Headlines would give no
trouble “Oregon Traps Cougars,”
“Jaws Fasten on Beavers' Legs”
a streamer. It would fit into yells
—“Trrr, Trrr, Trrr, Trappers!
Trappers!” Wouldn’t that strike
terror in any wild animal's heart
from Bruin down to Beaver? Away
with Webfoot with its slimy asso
ciations! Hit the high trail with
the Trappers!
Sincerely,
JAMES H. GILBERT, (1903).

But the telephone
conversation must not freeze
A sudden cold snap might seriously inter
fere with long distance telephone service were
it not for the studies made by Bell System
engineers.
They found that temperature variations
within 24 hours may make a ten-thousandfold
difference in the amount of electrical energy
transmitted over a New York-Chicago cable
circuit! On such long circuits initial energy
is normally maintained by repeaters or ampli
fiers, installed at regular intervals. So the
engineers devised a regulator — operated by
weather conditions—which automatically con
trols these repeaters, keeping current always
at exactly the right strength for proper voice
transmission.
This example is typical of the interesting
problems that go to make up telephone work.
