The Old Order Changeth
ur»E IT my will that my justice be ruled by mercy.”
The appointment of Benjamin Nathan Cardozo to the post
vacated by the venerable Oliver Wendell Holmes is a tribute to
the changing ideas in law and government. The selection of Car
dozo for the supreme court bench is not so much a victory for
liberalism as it is a triumph over reactionism.
The die-hards who support with intense fervor the creed
of past ages will view with alarm the new judge of our highest
tribunal. The ancestor worshippers who revere with fanatical
devotion the "sanctity of the Con-stl-too-shun” will stand aghast
at President Hoover’s new appointee.
But wherever intelligent men meet and talk there will be
approval and agreement on the wisdom of tho president's choice.
Politics and prejudices were brushed aside in the selection of
the new justice.
Cardozo's interpretation of the spirit rather than the letter
of the law in his judgments reveal his refusal to be bound by the
parchments of vanished decades. "Principles and rules that were
malleable in Lord Holt’s day,” he said, “have petrified with the
accumulated weight of precedent on precedent.”
The legal record of Cardozo is a notable one. While on one
hand he has never permitted himself to be bound by inflexible
rules of custom and precedent, on the other, he has been deliber
ate and cautious in his departures from the established order
of things. He has stood firm in the belief that radical and
sudden changes hinder rather than help social progress.
The proverb at the beginning of this article is a favorite
of Cardozo. It typifies his attitude on the bench, and his phil
osophy that property rights must bow down to human rigtiLs.
And for that we again express thanks at the selection of Ben
jamin Nathan Cardozo.
Wanted: An Opinion
/"VNCE AGAIN the assembly problem pops Into prominence
with the recommendation of the Oregon committee of the
N. S. F. A.
It was about this time lasl year that A. S. U. O. officialdom
sought an expression of student opinion on the matter of assem
blies. No one seemed very clear as to what was desirable, but
that there should be some sort of assembly held regularly was
the unanimous opinion.
Now once more student opinion is solicited. The committee,
under Bob Hall, has already gone on record as favoring bi
monthly, well planned assemblies, and asks for criticism and sug
gestions. The chairman and eight committee members are stu
dents of sound judgment; their plan is sound; their work de
serves full support, in the form of the requested suggestions.
. Stop Bob Hall on the campus, and tell him what you think
of tlie idea. Stop the eight other members of the committee and
offer your suggestions. Also, suggest that a student forum could
gather the requested student opinions with far less confusion
and wasted effort than the method which must, in the present
case, be used. Appoint a spokesman to deliver the opinion of
your house, or honorary, or history class.
The assembly is a valuable asset to the student body, and
don't let anyone talk you out of that. But how to put across
an assembly, how to insure the best results there's a problem
for the N. S. F. A. Oregon's committee is on the way to a solu
tion. Let’s help.

Military Justice Is
Often Superior,
Asserts Spencer
‘Glaring Discrepancies’ in
Civil Practices
Are Noted
Three main features of military
justice that make that procedure
in some respects superior to civi
lian justice were pointed out yes
terday by Carlton E. Spencer, pro
fessor of law.
Prof. Spencer is to conduct a
course in military law at meetings
of the Reserve Officers’ associa
tion of Eugene every Friday eve
ning at the Eugene hotel, accord
to word from that group.
He bases his belief that civil jus
tice can learn a good deal from
military justice in that the latter
has centralized supervision of all
criminal courts, has automatic ap
pellate scrutiny for each case, and
has a flexible and centralized ad
ministration of the sentence after
conviction.
Penalties Uniform
In the uniformity of policy and
penalty of military procedure he
sees nothing of civil law's “glaring
discrepancies in methods of hand
ling cases when the several courts
are virtually independent of each
other.
"Appellate scrutiny in military
justice is automatic and without
cost,” Spencer said, “every case
going up to higher authority for
review.
“Deterrent sentences of maxi
mum period are imposed, leaving
the minimum entirely unfixed to
permit individual treatment, and
enabling the case to be adequately
considered after a fuller examina
tion of the man’s personality and
history than is possible at the
time of trial.”
Tierney Gives Course
Prof. Spencer's course is part
of the series being carried on for
the officers during winter months
by Major James T. Tierney, com
mander headquarters branch, 3rd
reserve district.
In addition to holding a com
mission as captain in the judge
advocate general's department,
Prof. Spencer has had considerable'
experience as trial judge advocate
and as defense counsel, and was an
administrative officer in the air
service during the late war.
Obsidian Donation
For Library Lists
Several Volumes
Announcement of Lecture
Series Is Made by
Local Group
The Obsidian club, a local hik
ers’ club, was the source of the
Obsidian shelf at the University
library.
Material on geology, botany,
camping, natural history, and
woodcraft are to be found there.
“Handbook of Birds of the West
ern United States,” by Bailey, and
“Notes of a Botanist on the Ama
zon and Andes,” by Richard
Spruce, are examples of these.
The collection was started on a
fund of $25 contributed by the
club when it had grown so large
that some material was considered
necessary. For want of a more
convenient place to keep the books,
the Obsidian shelf at the library
was established.
Membership in the club requires
three local hikes and a favorable
vote of the club members. There
are over a hundred members.
A course of lectures has been
arranged by the extension division
of the University for members of
the club and others who may be
interested. Anyone may attend
upon payment of an enrollment
fee.
Meetings are held at 101 Con
i
don hall. Monday evenings at 7:15.
No credit is given for this course.

Debaters Meet
Whitman Today
In Initial Clash
Meets With Washington
State, Idaho Are Slated
For Friday
A negative team of the Univer
sity of Oregon debaters, made up
of Walt Evans, sophomore in eco
nomics, and Hobart Wilson, senior
in pre-law, left yesterday after
noon to meet Whitman college,
Washington State college, and the
University of Idaho on the ques
tion: “Resolved, That congress
should enact legislation providing
for the centralized control of in
dustry.”
The debates with Whitman col
lege and the University of Idaho
will be non-decision, that with
Washington State college will have
an audience judgment.
This is another of the efforts of
the speech department to spread
the doctrine of debates without
decisions, with its accompanying
informality and questioning of the'
speakers by the audience.
Although the men's team is fol
lowing the same route, and debat
ing the same schools as the wo
men’s group, the two projects are
of an entirely separate nature.

Contest Closes
With 23 Entries
Short Stories To Be Judged
By Three Prominent
Writers
Twenty-three manuscripts for
the Edison Marshall short story
contest have been received by W.
F. G. Thacher, professor of adver
tising and English and forwarded
to two of the contest judges. Al
though fewer stories were entered
in the contest this year than in
former years, they form a satisfac
tory showing of the literary work
of the school, Professor Thacher
said.
The three judges of the annual
contest are all authorities in the
short story field, and include Flor
ence Thompson, house chaperon of
Chi Omega sorority and a contrin
utor to the Good Housekeeping and
other magazines; Philip (Parish,
an editorial writer for the Portland

HARD-BOILED CRITICISM
Brave New World. By Aldous
Huxley. Doubleday, Doran & Co.
By BOB RIDDELL
It is the year of our Ford some
times called Freud) 632. Art, soli
tude, thought have degenerated to
obscenities; the matter of parent
hood is passe, the word mother
now being a mere m—r, baby:
b—y. Everyone belongs to every
one else. Monogamy is indecent.
In his spare time man goes to the
“feelies,” a crude sort of entertain
ment, and dances to the wild tune
of the “sexaphone!” If one is ig
norant enough to have a tendency
toward thought “soma holidays”
are prescribed, and, though soma’s
a drug, it leaves no hangover.
Thought, you know, is a powerful
ly destructive social force.
Straight from the horse’s mouth
it comes, straight from the mouth
of Ford: Community, Identity, Sta
bility. A shameless mother sings
her baby to sleep to the tune of
that old lullaby: “Streptoccock-gee
to Banbury T.” In the London
Hatchery thousands of human eggs
are being “Boskanovaskified.” The
record in this work is a mere odd
thousand or two, but they’re pro
gressing, working on a new theory
in fact. All this is essential, you
know, to proper handling of fac
tory work, this production of im
becile twins. But everyone is hap
py, learned this from the voice of
hypnopaedia, one of the first les
sons, in fact. Starts the first
week.
Some sloppy attendant had put
alcohol in the blood surrogate of
Bernard Marx. Since that time his
social status had been in jeopardy;
on falling in love with Lenina he
objected to sharing her with oth
ers. Old fashioned nonsense, the
people thought, and here he passes
out of the picture. On a western^,
Indian reservation a certain Mr.
Savage meets Lenina and also falls
in love with her. He has read
Shakespeare (that lascivious book)
and talks a lot about a gink called
Christ. He ended in suicide, as
all immorality should be paid.
Brave New World is not merely
amusing. It’s horrifying, realistic,
hard-boiled, and though it seems
aimed at certain contemporary
tendencies, it's difficult to say
which he leaves untouched. Per
haps the Soviet Union, perhaps
Bertrand Russell, but most ob
viously our own institutions.
least a month, Mr. Thacher stated.
The sponsor of the short story
contest, Edison Marshall, was a
student in journalism at the Uni
versity of Oregon in the class of
1917. He is best known for his
stories which run as serials in the
Good Housekeeping magazine and
are afterward published in book
form.

Mysterious Bunk
ONCE in a blue moon now some bright, old-fashioned
cynic says: “Aw, I never read the advertisements. They’re
full of bunk.”
But when one starts to look for it, the “bunk” in adver
tising shows a mysterious tendency to be absent. Speci
mens of it are hard to locate.
The reason for that is simple. Bad goods cannot be suc
cessfully advertised. To stand up under the pitiless glare
of publicity, merchandise must be honest. It must live
up to its promises. Otherwise you would quickly cease
to buy it.
So advertisers discovered long ago that for them, too,
honesty was the best policy. More!—the only possible
policy, if they were to remain advertisers!
Read the advertisements. They are not full of bunk.
On the contrary, they are full of honest information and
interesting news. They show you ways to be more com
fortable. They make life easier. They help you to be
happier and healthier. They teach you prices and values.
No doubt about it—advertisements do you many a ser
vice. Read them every day!
