A Good Omen
TF INTEREST and attendance are bases for judgment, the first
open forum student body assembly was an undisputed suc
cess. Over three hundred students filled the auditorium of Vil
lard hall on Wednesday to participate in a pioneer effort at mass
discussion of campus problems.
The fervor of the addresses and the intensity of the interest
constitute a challenge to the oft-repeated statement that stu
dents are not concerned with policies of government, national
or campus. From all sides of the hall resounded the spirited
opinions of members of every class keen and analytical.
But, after all, the question before the assembly was largely
academic in nature, as it was a settled issue. The women of the
campus had decided that they would steer clear of the former
practice of pledging the votes of their living organizations to a
given candidate. We compliment them for their firm stand;
they have championed the idea of individual intelligent voting
In place of mob action and machine thinking. Had the issue
before the student body assemblage been a “live" and vital
one, we believe an even greater degree of success would have
been experienced.
To Brian Mimnaugh, president of the associated students,
credit is due for his frank and earnest presentation of the prob
lems of student government. He discussed the possibilities of
future open forums, and outlined subjects that might well occupy
the attention of the gatherings. Even the athletic program and
budget policy, Mimnaugh pointed out, can be brought before the
assemblies. Opportunity will thus be afforded to all critics to
air their views. Do you think the football situation is lousy?
Too much graft in the budget? Don't talk to yourself. The as
sembly will welcome you with open arms.
Efficient student government requires the interest and parti
cipation of an active group of intelligent men and women. And
for that reason, we consider the first open forum a good sign.
When students, three hundred strong, will gather round to dis
cuss a fairly “dead" issue, cun we not expect even larger atten
dance and greater interest when matters of real moment are
brought before them?
An Ally of The Huskies
^ I'HE SPIRIT of the invader will be an ally of the University
of Washington tonight when the Huskies meet California at
Oakland in the first game of the playoff for the Pacific Coast
conference basketball championship. The urge for conquest that
brought Pizarro’s Spaniards across the mountains of Peru and
marched with Lewis and Clark when they struggled over the
uncharted crags of the Rockies will be with the Washington
boys when they go into action, 700 miles from their home court
at Seattle.
What slight advantage California might obtain from playing
on its own floor will be more than offset by the desperate,
against-odds courage that is sure to be possessed by the Huskies.
The spirit of the invader, a dominant element in the colonization
and exploration of the world, rides with Washington tonight,
even as it rode with Oregon that memorable afternoon last
autumn when the Webfoots invaded New York university's
stronghold of football and came away victorious.
The Huskies carry the good-wishes of the entire Northwest
in their fight for the championship. Even the teams they con
quered arc backing them to win. The Washington boys, who
struggled out of the cellar to take the northern section flag,
also are the objects of a certain amount of hero-worship admira
tion. The world is not so sophisticated that it has ceased to re
spect deeds of valor and determination, and no clan is quicker
than the fickle sporting public to thrill to the comeback of the
underdog.

HEAD MISLEADING
To the Editor:
The headline of the Emerald
story of March 3rd, concerning the j
death penalty for kidnappers, is a
misrepresentation, of my views on
capital punishment. Such an er
ror is misleading to casual readers,
some of whom may never have
their impression corrected.
I am opposed to the taking of
human life as a means of punishing
violators of criminal law. As I
told your reporter., I believe that
advocates of capital punishment!
have failed to present convincing
evidence that such punishment de
ters potential criminals. The fact
should not be overlooked that the
commission of a heinous crime
tends to arouse people emotional
ly, and I think that much of the
clamor for the death penalty for
kidnappers can be thus explained.

Koo, Chinese Student Leader,
Gets Praise from Colleges
From dozens of colleges and uni
versities in the East come reports
of the dynamic oratory and per
sonality of Dr. T. Z. Koo, interna
tionally known leader of the new
Chinese student movement and at
present associate general secre
tary of the World Christian Stu
dent Federation.
He is scheduled to speak on “The
New Renaissance in China” at an
all-University assembly on the
morning of March 10 at Gerlingor
hall.
From Dartmouth college we
hear: “It was thoroughly delight
ful and challenging to have Dr.
Koo with us. His address on Man
churia was a keen and penetrating
analysis. Those who heard him
have been talking of it ever since.
Certainly his charming personality
and keen mind cut right through
many of the hard-boiled attitudes
held by some here.”
Syracuse university, N. Y.:
"Words cannot express our appre
ciation for the work done by Dr.
Koo while in Syracuse. His address
on the Manchurian situation was
without question the most expert
and impressive analysis of that
problem that has ever come to our
city. He received a remarkable
ovation.”
These and many other letters
pour in daily to the New York of
fices of David Porter, national Stu
d e n t Federation secretary of
America, as a result of Dr. Koo's
present tour of the United States.
Dr. Koo is a graduate of St.
John's university, Shanghai, and a
scholar who has won world-wide
recognition for his attainments.
His early work was with the Chi
nese government railway.
On his tours, Dr. Koo has spoken
on the subject of Chinese students.
He has maintained that the edu
cated youth in his native country
are a group to be reckoned with in
international affairs, and that they
truly represent the spirit of the
Chinese people. He has exerted a
great influence on the student mind
in China which reaches out into all
the political groups.

World Pays Homage to Memory
of Washington
The American people were pre
sented with the unusual spectacle,
at least in these days of controver
sies, of the nations of the world
paying hoqiage to the memory of
the first American. His stature
grows with the passing of time.
Some of the outstanding foreign
.tributes to Washington's memory
were the naming of squares and
streets in Germany, Poland and
Jugoslavia. In most other countries
in Europe and South America
speechmaking and wreath laying
were the order of the day. We are
today setting the pace for the rest
pof the world in all human affairs
without realizing it. Our crying
need is men in public life to see
this. With full realization of our
position, wo could steer a clear
course in conditions as they actu
ally are, and not as we would like
them to be or as they were years
ago. There is no backtracking in
the life of a nation as important
as ours.
That Shanghai Gesture
“If we had known the resistance
the Chinese were going to put up,
we would never have ventured into
Shanghai.” This from a man prom
inently identified with Japanese af
fairs on both sides of the Pacific
When they saw how easy it was
to clean out Manchuria, the finan
cial and business interests of Japan
urged upon the government to
make a naval demonstration before
China’s chief port to eliminate the
boycott and enforce the payment
for goods held on the docks and
in the warehouses. They figured
that all they had to do was to
steam up the Wangpoo and the
Yangtze, with guns bristling, to
make China agree to their de
mands. The Chinese parleyed, the
Japanese threatened, and after
wards they had to make good their
threats. However, neither would
declare war.
\ War That Isn't a War
Why hasn't war been formally
declared? Both Japan and China
are members of the League of Na
tions. According to the rules of
the league no member may declare
war on another member. The
nation against which war is de
clared may bring the matter
before the assembly and eventu
ally invoke aid from the members
of the league. The legal nicety
is that the nation who formally
declares war is the aggressor. Of
course, this is mere quibbling and
avoids the spirit of the agreement
altogether. Public opinion, as a
rule is pretty sound, and for that
reason the sympathy of the world
is with the Chinese.
W h\ \re W e Interested
W hy is the United States so in
terested in this row on .the other
side of the Pacific. Some say it is
none of our business. Well, it
| wouldn't be. except for the fact
that we have made some rather
clear cut treaties with a number
of powers. Japan included, to keep
China intact politically. President
Uoosevelt foresaw conditions, and

i,
he had his secretary of State, Hay,
announce the doctrine of the Open
Door in China. One by one the
powers agreed to it. We made
some additional treaties in the last
ten years with the same point in
view. The Kellogg treaties re
nounced war as an instrument of
national policy, and the nine power
treaty was designed to maintain
the then existing conditions, and
give China a chance to stabilize
her government. You cannot
change the habits of thought and
methods of government of 400 iiiil
lion people in less than several
generations. These treaties were
designed to give China the neces
sary time. Of course if one treaty
is broken, they are all broken, and
we, as signatories, in fact the in
stigators and originators of these
treaties, are vitally affected. Our
policy has been and is, to maintain
the open door in China, and let
only the Chinese be the door
tenders.
The Partition ot China
It is becoming increasingly evi
dent that France has been tacitly
supporting Japan. Great Britain
was rather lukewarm when Japan
was annexing Manchuria. The So
viets kept ominously cjuiet. All of
this, however, not without some
good reason. Under the pretext of
chasing some Reds out of Indo
China, the French built the rail
road up to Yunnanfu, and has been
practically occupying the province
of Yunnan ever since. The British
have annexed the Thibet some time
ago. Outer Mongolia, which is
nominally Chinese, is so Russian,
that you cannot get in there with
out a Russian passport. In addi
tion, they built the Turk-Sib rail
road recently, which gives them
control of Chinese Turkestan. You
sec, they are living in glass houses.

’NOTHER RHAPSODE
Well now, we had a good ser
mon yesterday. All about an as
sembly for reform’s sake, and
thinking about the reform assem
bly got us to thinking that there
were a buneh of people up at Vil
la rd hall being told what to do, so
they wouldn’t do as they had be
fore, and do what they were told
to do when spring elections came
around. Yes, that’s involved, but
that’s what it amounted to. All
the undergrads had been led
around by the nose for years by
the political leaders, and now
they are going to be led around by
the nose by the anti-political lead
ers, so that the political leaders
can’t—well, it goes on and on.
We fail to see how the powers
that expect to get individual think
ing from a lot of people who have
been trained all their collegiate
days to do anything but think for
themselves. Not that that’s such
a different idea—Ford has shown
us ail how to assemble the parts
and turn out a fleet a day of ob
jects that look and act exactly
alike. Of course, Fords are painted
different colors, and some of us
belong to different eating houses.
Take the case of any freshman,
or should we generalize and say
Freshman? He comes to school,
and after he learns a lot of fine
things about fraternities,, such as
how much money the Pi Pi Pis
have, and how many football play
ers the Phi Phi Phis have, and
who are the big men here, and
what are the glorious old traditions
of this, that, and the other broth
erhood, he joins one.
He immediately learns about up
per-class, that godly group of dirty
pants. He immediately learns what
constitutes a good date, what to
say, like “hoteha,” and “hi-boy!”
and to wear a green lid, so he will
look like all the other freshmen,
and he’s about ready to start being
a college man.
After that he’s a college man for
four years, or less, in varying de
grees, depending a good bit on
where he lives. It all gets very
nobby and swell. The thing is, he
Let’s Dine
Tonight
at
Lee Dukes
is a college man, after all, and a
lot of people aren’t, and the college
man is a unique individual, with
special interests and privileges, and
special training. They’re taught a
few things about college men—
they’re taught, in the process of
becoming fraternity men, to like
themselves first, it being so im
portant that they amount to some
thing and reflect globs of colle
giate glory on their fraternity,
which they are taught to like sec
ond.
The fraternity undoubtedly
meant that it should be held first,
but it generally goes wrong some
where, and the man holds the man
above all—and he rates the tong
second till he grows up and dis
covers a bunch of decent men
around other places and gets out of
the “activity” class. In the mean
time he’s standardized his creeds
and credos, his superstitions which
side do you wear your hat on?),
his concept of womanhood—and
all these things are right, and if
you don’t have a pair of cords and
a blue flannel shirt, why it’s just
no use—but this is the royalty of
our civilization, and can do no
wrong.
Perhaps wc should place the
blame elsewhere than on the col
leges, it may be the civilization.
