In response to an inquiry from the editors of the Emerald, they took the opportunity to advocate the institution of a collective economic boycott against Japan, provided other means for settling the dispute proved inadequate. All are authorities in the fields of economics and political science, the group consisting of Presi dent Arnold Bennett Hall, Dr. R. C. Clark, Dr. John R. Mez, Dr. Harold J. Noble and Dr. Victor P. Morris. In a crisis like that of the Sino-Japanese entanglement, the air is filled with charges and counter-charges, propaganda and publicity, that leave the average citizen in a quandary. It is a decided relief to hear the opinions of disinterested experts; men who have visited the scene, who have studied the problem, and who have no axe to grind. The action of the five faculty men is significant for a second reason. It exemplifies the growing importance of university pro fessors in national and international fields. No longer are they to be regarded as absent-minded old gentlemen, dispensers of Cicero and Virgil. They arc experts in their respective subjects, well qualified to advise and comment on current developments. They are displacing smooth-tongued politicians as influencers of public opinion and as shapers of national policy. We at Oregon are especially fortunate in having a social science faculty that ranks among the foremost in the west. Dr. Hall, himself a social scientist of national prominence, has built up a staff that is a credit to the University and a distinc tion to the state. Every professor in the departments of econ omics, political science, philosophy and history holds a doctor's degree in his particular field. The interest manifested by student and faculty members in tlie discussion of the economic boycott which appeared in these columns Friday is ample evidence that the Emerald did not commit a “faux pas" in its venture into the realm of interna tional relations. More and more we are inclined to challenge the statement that the interest of the student body is “bounded on the north by the dance hall and on the south by the basketball court.” Axe Exam Week? ORDEAL of “examination week” conies upon us tin-ice a year. Nobody likes it; faculty members as well as students watch its approach with distaste. But the sheer habit of it breeds in us a sort of bitter resignation. We have come to look upon it as an inevitable feature of our industry of education and have lost the power to question either its value or its neces sity. In the desperate attempt to apply an educational veneer to hundreds of young things, a bewildered faculty must employ some sort of a mechanical “stock-taking” to separate the white sheep from their darker brethern. But granting that neces sity, why must we complicate and prolong the dreary business of examinations with a mass of ritualistic voodoo? A whole week is set aside for the “trial by pen and ink.” An elaborate schedule of times and places is drawn up. It can never be perfect; numberless conflicts must be settled by special examinations. Haggard students go about like men walking in their sleep. Some fortunate ones escape from the living hell by Tuesday noon and blithely depart for home and mother. Thus - who must struggle on until Friday evening curse the working of an unkind fate. There is no justice there. May we propose a Utopian alternative? Let every professor give his final examination in the last of the regular class sessions. If one hour is not sufficient, take the last two meetings of the class, dividing the list of questions into halves. Advantages—More time for ordinary study; everyone would be through at approximately the same time: no bother or con fusion in following an elaborate schedule. Objections? There arc lots of them, but they can all be met with one argument. Ordinary quizzes arc given during the course of the semester in this way. The sum total of them counts for as much in grading as docs the final examination, it such a simple system is lousidefcU satisfactory for ordinary qutzze.j, why not for the final enamuidtiono? i IN ItAYON Dramatis Personae Four beautiful clothes models— Jacqueline Gregg, Josephine Hughes, Roberta Hart, Lillian Gee. The floorwalker (curse him)—Da vid Wilson. The dainty designer—Michael Mik ulak. The malleable minister—Herbie Hittoe. The curtain rises to the tune of "The Dance of the Fairies,” and discovers our four beautiful hero ines in the stage center, about to sibilate across stage in their chan nels. A motley group is seated before them—a bunch of sugar pappas with their dolls in tow come to buy teddies for their tricky little tootsies. As the curtain flics upward our doughty David plucks a hair from his chest, growling as he does so, for his chorus crew has shrunk in maidenly modesty from the avar icious eyes of their sugar poppa public. Our David—‘‘Git on, you hams —and git some action. Remember there’s gold in them thar hips!” Little Josephine—"This is a Crooel, crooel woild, when we poor working gals has got to promen ade our pretties for pay!” (She I sobs.) David (snarling—"Come on! Hotcha them midriffs!” Jacquelline—“Ain’t nothin’ sa cred to you, you toughy? Even a lady’s calf?” David—"Aw nuts! Do you think they come to look at the clothes?” He taps her meaningly with his malacca. Their importunities in vain, the group of bootifuls starts forward, when there is a shriek off stage. Mikulak rushes on stage, great handfuls of his temperamental hair in hands. Mikkie—“Heavens! Mon dieux! Sapriste!” Davie “What now?” Mik—"What now? Is it not I am ze great artiste ? Is it not zees is horrible ? See ze hem on ze Classified Advertisements Kates Payable in Advance 10c a line for first insertion; 5c a line for each additional insertion.

Lil—“Don’t touch me!” Roberta rallies round—“No you fiend! Touch not one hair on that calf!” Mik (in despair;—“Ze hem! Ze hem!” Davie—“The show must go on!” Little Josephine piourretes for ward—“I’ll go on. I don’t mind!” (coyly;. Davie—"You devil!” Chucks her under chin. There is a burst of ap plause from the audience as she ! comes in view, then a commotion from the rear of the room. A voice—“Stop!” Mikulak, Wil son, and the sunkist so and so’s hurry forward. There is pandemo nium. The Reverend Herbie Kittie is discovered with arm akimbo, a righteous glare in his eye. Herbie—“This disgraceful ex hibition must cease!” There are shrieks of protest from the beau ties. They swirl around him. There is a confusion of “why’s” and “what for’s.” Herbie —“But wait!” His eyes are glued to Lillian’s lithesome limbs—"look—the dress is slip ping!” There are shouts of hor ror. Strong men, etc. He covers his face with his hands. There is an immediate flurry as all the girls rush to protect Lilly from the gaze of the audience. Herbie’s voice can be heard above the tumult. “Disclose that shameless hussy! Virtue above all else!” Fearfully they drew aside, disclosing Lillian, clad in red flannel drawers. In credulously, the reverend draws nearer. Herbie—"But—do you all wear those ?” The beauties (en chorus)—“Yes sir!” The reverend sinks to his knees, with eyes lifted heaven ward. Herbie—"Oh, purity! Thou art saved!” There is a triumphant salvo from the orchestra as the show goes on. * * * Oh well, what we meant to say, was, come on down to the Gamma Alpha Chi dance next Saturday. Why not? Who knows? There is more here than meets the eye. That’s all. Whitesmith To Address Student League Tonight Newly Formed Organization To Hold First Meeting Reverend Ernest M. Whitesmith, pastor of the Unitarian church, will speak on “The Duty of an Educated Man in an Industrial Society” at a meeting of the stu dent League for Industrial Democ racy tonight at 9 o'clock at the “Y” hut. This is the first program spon sored by the league, which has just recently been organized as a result of the visit of Harry W. Laidler, national secretary for the organization. Campus president of the organization is Wallace Camp bell. It is the aim of the league to include in its discussions and pro grams all men and women of the campus who are interested in present-day problems of labor and economics. All are invited to come to the meeting tohight. OREGON WOMEN GO OVER BIG WITH STANFORD MEN (Continurd from Page One) Stanford males must journey to San Jose or Mills college, or Mountain View, or San Francisco to procure their dates. They don’t need to have week-end lockouts at the sororities ’cause I guess they are studying most of the time or go home to spend the week-end with their mothers and fathers. Oh, well.

To the Editor: While the varsity basketball team was holding its own against Oregon State Saturday, and fresh man and varsity swimming teams had just proved their unquestion able superiority, a bunch of hard working Oregon athletes were whipping a highly-routed Univer sity of Washington wrestling team. This team, supposed to be the cream of the Northwest col legiate “bonecrushing” crop, con tained several all-coast stars. And each one of the members, it was noticed, was the holder of one or more college letters. Yet not one of the Oregon men is going to receive any recognition for his night’s work, and the months of previous preparation undertaken towards its end. Why not, like Washington and Oregon State, and practically every other coast college, establish a minor sport award for such sports as wrestling, boxing, tumbling and fencing? Oregon time and time again has shown what she can do in these lines by displaying distinct superiority. And the University of Oregon’s high standing in North west sports circles owes a great deal of its recognition to just such men as its boxers, wrestlers and fencers. Why can’t the University fur ther stimulate interest in these activities by awarding some sort of minor sports block “O.” BILL GEARHART, S. A. E. CAMPUS ♦ ♦ ALENDAR Y. W. C. A.

For this expert navigating, the Bell System has long relied upon statisticians. These men study present and prospective industrial, economic and social conditions in all parts of the country. They gather facts— analyze them, correlate them, discover their significance to the telephone business, draw guidance from them. They study and fore cast the changing requirements of the public for telephone service. They estimate the probable future demand for new services, such as radio telephony to foreign lands and ships at sea. They keep the executives advised as to current progress towards the objectives thus carefully determined. Only by plotting a course scientifically can the Bell System continue to develop along sound lines. BELL SYSTEM A NATION-WIDE SYSTEM OF INTER-CONNECTING TELEPHONES
