Thank You, Mr. Bush
'T'HERE’LL be no "beating around the "Bush" on the library
steps, for Skull and Daggers, sophomore service honorary,
yesterday politely said, "No, than you,” to the Order of the "O”
lettermen who had tendered them the duty (?) of punishing
freshman tradition violators with the well-known oak.
Neal Bush, S. & D. president, said this: .“Hacking of fresh
men on the library steps is hardly the purpose of a SERVICE
>rganization.” You’re right, Mr. Bush, it isn’t.
Did you see what Howard Steib, president of the freshman
class, had to say yesterday? “We felt in our class,” said he,
"that we were going to be greatly honored and trusted when
the abolition of public punishment for freshmen was proposed.
We believed that it would make the ‘wearing of the green’ more
of an honor and privilege than it has ever been before.” Right
again.
The Emerald, while opposed to the library steps policy of
forcing freshmen to wear green lids, believes the "wearing of
the green” a great thing- and we want to see it continued.
Green lids work for class unity and strength, and they mold
the first-year men together in a common band.
A mighty good alternative for the library steps sessions was
suggested at yesterday’s N. S. F. A. committee meeting. Why
not a tribunal composed of the presidents of the Order of the
"O,” Skull and Daggers, and the various classes, which would
punish non-wearers of lids by making them do some construc
tive work around the campus—tidying up lawns and shrubbery
beds, swabbing the senior bench, which isn’t clean yet, and so
on? Think it over—it’s a great idea.
Women First of All
a woman first of all; after that be a newspaper woman,
a teacher, or whatever it is you are planning.”
This is the advice which William M. Tugman, managing editor
of the Register-Guard, has given women intending to enter tha
journalistic field.
"If you think that in a career is to be found the highest
form of happiness, you are inevitably doomed to disappoint
ment,” was another idea which Tugman gave the women to
think about.
; The craze which women have had in the past two decades
for a career above everything else is fortunately, we believp,
dying out. We hear less often of the woman who is willing to
sacrifice everything for the sake of her career.
, This does not mean that women, after injecting themselves
forcibly and in many instances successfully into our modern
industrial, business world, are just as suddenly withdrawing
from it. Not at all. Women are still interested in professions.
The tide seems to have turned from absorption in a career
to the complete elimination of everything else in life, to an
earnest desire to learn a profession to which one may turn if
one has to. Along with learning professions women are study
ing the many other phases of life with which they will have to
deal. The career has been moved from the center of the stage
t'o occupy a position where its relative worth should place it.
Women are regaining their balance, lost with the freedom
this generation gave them, and are remembering that they are
women first of all.
* these hectic days when such campus traditions as the
Junior Vodvil and the "library steps” are being tossed about,
&vo nobler traditions have been shattered. The shock was great,
Und we feel moved to sound a note of warning lest the repercus
sion go to the very heart of the campus. Dean James II. Gilbert
missed his class in Public Finance yesterday without first giving
notice to the students, and on Wednesday, we hear, Dr. James
B). Bainett missed his class in Modern Government “for the
first time in he didn't know how many years.” What to do,
what to do?
j ^r' Martin Dewey, president of the American Dental associa
tion, recently revealed that beer and light wines are not only
good for the expectant mother but that they aid in the develop
ment of the unborn child's teeth. (Notes of progress: The beer
bottle supplants the teething ring.)
We learn that Harvard has abolished Yale locks from its
dormitories. In line with this rather startling policy of patriot
ism, it will be but a matter of time until the Vassal- student
body puts a ban on Smith cough drops, and Yale takes drastic
action against the Harvard classics.
Oregon meets Washington here Monday and Tuesday at the
Igloo. Let's not have a repetition then of what happened la
week in the stands, or we'll have to change the name rooting

KESEIIVED SEATS
To the Editor:
Tuesday night at me Idalio-Ore
gon game a large section was set
aside, reserved, for those people
who had complimentary tickets.
Numerous townspeople who paid
admission had to take what they
could get, or what was left.
Some time ago an announcement
was made in the paper that there
would be no reserved seats at bas
ketball games—everyone had an
equal chance for a good seat—why
not keep it that way ?
The people of Eugene support
the athletic games, and it seems
that those who pay admission
should be entitled to good seats.
I am not complaining about the
amount of complimentary tickets
given out, nor are any other people
I have talked to, but there is a
complaint about the partiality
shown. Those chosen few are en
abled to see the game free—why
should they have a special section
when those who pay admission
have to sit in some undesirable
place? Let them have their free
tickets, but also let them take
what seats they can get along with
the others. It seems to me that
the paying public should have the
choice, if there is to be one, or at
least an equal chance.

an attitude in its final analysis is
one of justifying aggression. Of
course it is bunk to expect peace
when so many influential people
take such an attitude.
“Many governments of the world
cannot control their own activi

to account one instance where the
people of a nation has been able to
control its military department.
Shall we again have a militaristic
element that can cause us to take
away the best part of a Latin
American country, force us to fight
a war against a country which has
agreed to our demands, or get us
excited over the sinking of a Brit
ish ship carrying munitions ? By
withholding of the truth and by
military propaganda we have al

“A machine gun on every house

these instruments the military de

Democratic but Independent, he
explained to Dean Allen, in the
course of banquet talks. Quincy
Scott, new cartoonist for the Ore
gonian, was told that deadlines
sneak up, that they don’t gallop
down. But Bob Allen, of Sigma
Delta Chi, told Sterling in what
magazine he read one of his best
stories — the one a h o u t the
“wenches” being dilapidated.
“Dichotomy”—for the benefit of
those editors who do not have dic
tionaries in their hotel rooms—
means “bifurcation.”
Hal Hoss and Elbert Bede are
out to give each other all the pub
licity they possibly can. Bede
poked his head in the door at the
"daily editors’ ” meeting, inter
rupting Shelton F. Sackett’s talk
on the future of the newspaper
business with, “Is everybody here
for Hal Hoss?” The editors
chorused, “No.” In return, Hoss
addressed his banquet speech to
the toastmaster, to the ladies and
gentlemen, and to Elbert Bede.
Being delayed in getting out
“yesterday's paper,” Mr. and Mrs.
A. L. Mallory of the Oakland
Tribune arrived just as the ban

' Typography Gains
David Foulkes, mechanical su

picted the steady development of
typographical efficiency and how
this development facilitated the
progress of the newspaper indus
try.
"We are doing work today in
newspaper plants, in the rush of
a day's work, that a few years
ago could only be done in the best
of trade plants. The local adver
tiser can now stand shoulder to
shoulder with his national and
foreign brothers and not be
ashamed,” F. mikes said.
The United Press and Associ
ated Press acted as hosts at
luncheon to members of their
services. Sigma Delta Chi, Theta
Sigma Phi. and Alpha Delta Sig
ma entertained the others attend
ing the conference.
For the afternoon session, the
delegates were divided into two^
groups—daily and weekly—for dis-:
mission • f individual problems.
William Tug man. managing edi -
tor of the Eugene Register-Guard,'
spoke to the daily group on the
outcome of the readers’ interest
survey conducted by the paper and
University students. Merlin Blais,
Harry Van Dine, and Ted Mont
gomery-, University students super
intending the survey, then de
scribed the procedure used and led
the discussion which followed.
Press Necessary
“The world’s tempo has in
creased more rapidly in the last
.three decades than in any other
time in history. The press is more
necessary than ever to portray the
news and the interpretation of this
change,” said Sheldon F. Sackett,
co-publisher of the Oregon States
man, Salem, in relating “What the
future holds out for the newspaper
industry.”
Problems which the weekly pub
lications encounter were the cen
tral topics of the weekly division
session. The discussion included
such problems as job printing de
partments, merchandising the
newspaper, and audited circula
tions.
Gamma Alpha Chi, women’s na

where he used to work in a quarry
mine. His specialty was, it seems,
fine cutting for cornices and so on.
He said he used to have to work
long hours in the sun, and we think
that it—well—overcame him a bit.
He seemed a bit queer.
“Oh yes, he said he was mar
ried, and had a fine wife—a writer.
Probably for some small publica
tions; he didn’t say. Then he said
he turned all his property and
money over to her and set out to
walk. He told her he’d be able to
pick up enough money on the way,
but I know he didn’t have much
when he got here.
“Then he got the idea of walk
ing up to Alaska and crossing to
Asia and walking down through
China and Japan. I told him,
‘Why, man, you’re crazy to try it
this time of year. Winter is just
setting in and you'll never make
it.' And I advised him to wait till
spring, but he wouldn't do it.
“I told him to write me when
and if he got to China, and possi
bly I might publish some of his
papers on what he found there.
Well. I got one letter, and that
didn’t say much. Since then I
haven’t heard a word. And I'm
sure that if he tried to make that
trip I probably never will.”

that the most outrageous specula

P’ederal reserve officials justified
this inflation policy by maintain
ing that a higher rate would
wreck European systems by draw
ing their gold to America. A
courageous policy on the part of
the Federal reserve might have
checked the inflation in Europe
and in the United States, and per
haps have prevented the collapse.”
Professor Crumbaker explained
that the United States apparently
had a narrow escape from finan
cial difficulties, as seen by the
withdrawal of nearly a billion dol
lars in gold, and whether this dan
ger is over or not is not clear, he
stated. “While the reparations
and war debts are important, they
should not be used to cover up
policies that have long since been
proven to be uneconomic and un
sound,” he concluded.
