And the scene of April, 1917, portrays the University campus in the throes of hysteria. America had declared war! “Enlist” was on every man's lips. Impassioned addresses rang through the classrooms; pep rallies were staged on every corner; the very air was charged with the electric spirit of combat. Self-sacrifice filled the heart, and patriotism played on the heart strings. The bugles sounded, and the women cheered. Half the college youth marched forth to die—“for country and for God.” Are these less hectic days? No martial bugle sounds the call to battle; no pretty women wave their kerchiefs at passing files of khaki. But all over the nation there is hunger and suf fering and want. There is a bigger enemy to battle, a more oowerful foe to subdue. If ever there was a time when we needed the spirit of altruism and self-sacrifice, that time is now. Oh, for the courage of 1917! Then youth was brave enough to die for its ideals. Is youth of 1932 brave enough to fight for them ? Something is wrong. Babies weep, women sob, and men curse. What is it? Our mills arc idle; our ships arc empty. Some blame the government; some blame Industry; some blame the war. But on ail sides there is evasion, there is shrinking from responsibility. There arc none hardy enough to find the truth and brave enough to tell it. We have confidence in our form of government: we know it is essentially sound. But we gravely question whether the government has not been perverted by private interests. So we need men wtio will fight the battle for honest government, as bravely as did the lads of 1917. In yesterday's issue of the Emerald, Brian Mimnaugh, presi * dent of the student body, made a plea for qualified students to register for voting. What a contrast between the typical student of 1917 and 1932. What a change fifteen years have wrought! The ardor and patriotism of the early date have cooled, sup planted by the lethargy of modern times. This year the oppor tunity is again offered for students to take up the gauntlet of political leadership, ©nee more the decision is to be made whether our college men and women will retire from the field and leave the ballot to the ignorant and the uneducated. If our collegiate institutions are to merit their existence they cannot much longer evade the sacred duty of leadership that must de volve upon them. The approach of election again offers a chal ~ lenge to the citizenry of higher education. But there is a prerequisite to voting not a legal one, but a nioral one. Intelligent exercise of the ballot requires an under standing of our economic and political system. It requires a knowledge of current affairs and a sincere interest in the welfare of our democracy. For that very reason the Emerald is daily publishing news of moment drawn from the four corners of the globe. Read it, weigh it, consider it. In educated leadership rests tire fate of the nation. Not by the smooth tongues of poli ticians or the electoral power of the masses will the issues of the future be decided; in the hands of our educated men and women lie the destiny of our people. What shall we do? Bet us choose, and choose wisely. They Will Not Fail! E KE MAD (perhaps we should say angry, this being an educational institution). But anyhow, we're very budl.v upset. Friday we dutifully attended the assembly, looking forward to Dean Gilbert's good supply of “funnybone ticklers” with which we knew his talk, no matter how serious, would be sprinkled. We got to the assembly. We heard Prink tell us how the team needed our support. We watched and heard the basketball and swimming heroes get their sweaters and letters. We heard Brian Mimnaugh advertise the A. W. S. carnival, and Ned Kinney ditto the junior week-end. We applauded enthusiastically, duti fully. We heard Brian introduce Dean Gilbert. We prepared to listen, to hear not only how good or how bad off the University is, but to catch some of those aforementioned clever remark But “clank,” and the blamed amplifiers took their cue and could we hear more than every fifth word Dean Gilbert said? No! Why is it that we must be eternally pestered with an ampli fying system which won’t amplify? Why must we ask capable men to speak (the same thing happened with Sir Hubert Wilkin last term) when we can be almost assured that \\c wun't be able to hear them? The candidate which the Emerald will support for Chief Big Gun next year must adopt the slogan, "Our amplifier, will not , fist. f'orridor By V. H. Hal Eleven years ago a pretty, fiery, and self-willed little girl entered this University. Unknown and practically friendless she took a small room in the upstairs of an old rooming house on Patterson street. In that house, also, lived a woman with her little 12-year old boy. They were among her first Eugene acquaintances. Nancy Wilson was her name. It was not long before Nancy became the center of domestic activity be cause she was quick, keen, and dominating. And it was not long after that that most of the campus knew of a Nancy Wilson. She was a capable writer and loved her work. She was brilliant, deter mined, and energetic—read like a whirlwind. When once she willed, nothing could stop her; she had confidence in her own ability. Years later (in fact, not quite three weeks ago) I was walking the streets of Seattle when I stopped in front of a book store. Prominently displayed in the win dow was a novel entitled “Friday to Monday," by Nancy Ross. Yes, that was Nancy Wilson, the delic iously sophisticated girl I knew 11 years ago (for I was the little 12 year-old boy). I could not resist entering the book store. I asked; “I see you have a new novel by Nancy Ross. How is it selling?” “Splendidly!" answered the lady at the desk. “It is one of our best sellers.” “I am glad,” I said, but spoke no more. ‘‘Every customer has been pleased w‘ith it,” she offered, “and I am recommending it to all those who want to read a smart, up-to the-minute novel.” I went out, glad to know that Nancy Wilson had won once more.

House Members Ask To Vole on Beer Bill WASHINGTON, April 12—(AP) Eighty house members today ex pressed a desire to vote on wheth er the manufacture and taxing of 2.75 per cent beer is legal. They signed a petition to take away from the house ways and means committee and bring to the floor the O’Connor-Hull beer bill. Sixty-five more signatures will have to be obtained before a vote can be taken. ‘ALFALFA BILL’ LEAVES OREGON; ON WAY HOME (Continues from Tage One) Bill) Murray of Oklahoma, passed through here tonight en route to Oklahoma City, from Portland, saying he was called home on ur gent matters which necessitated the cancellation of speaking en gagements in Oregon. He was traveling by train and said upon arrival at Denver to morrow he plans to take an air plane for Oklahoma City. Dur ing the few minutes the Portland Rose stopped here Murray re mained in his drawing room. He said he did not desire to make any statement. PORTLAND, Ore., April 12 — (AP)- Reports that Lieutenant Governor Robert Burns of Okla homa was planning a govern mental shakeup in the absence of the executive are believed to have hastened Governor Murray's re turn to that state. Those who were with him here last night added, too, that he ap peared dissatisfied with arrange ments that had been made for speaking dates in several Oregon cities. Ed McDonald, secretary of the Oklahoma highway commission, Murray's traveling companion, and the governor left the lecture hall | here last night in a cab for their hotel after telling a group of prominent Oregon Democrats to meet them at the Union station, where Murray had said he would board a train for Klamath Falls. The local group went to the sta tion, but Murray did not appear at the southbound train.

Bulletin: Checkers — Play re sumes at once. Matches must be completed by April 22. Chess semi-finals should be played off this week. * * * The food preparation and food problem classes of the home eco nomics department have started a series of daily meals which they are serving to invited guests and regular boarders. An order of the "O” for co-eds was officially recognized and fa vored at the meeting of the student council last night. Only women who have earned an official “O" sweater will be eligible. WOMEN’S NEW VOTING PLEDGE TO STILL HOLD (Continued from rage One) ceived with both praise and ridi cule by the students at large. Idealists hailed it as a forward step in campus politics, skeptics said it sounded nice but wouldn’t work out; cynics called it a "Kel logg-Briand pact,” that would look good until the test came. Baum Issues Statement Miss Baum, however, is now more firm in her position than she was at the time of the original pronouncement. On the eve of the year's political jambouree, she has issued to the Emerald an official communique couched in language that will admit of no compromise. ‘‘The Associated Women Stu dents,” writes this militant young woman, “will remain staunch in their support of individual rather than mass voting. ‘‘It is their belief that this is the intelligent manner of electing stu dent body officers, and they ex pect to carry out their intention in the coming election. ‘‘This stands as a challenge to those seeking office, a challenge which an ardent and enthusiastic candidate cannot ignore.” This IS a real challenge, but it cuts both ways. It challenges the j women to prove their sincerity as | much as it challenges the candi dates to prove their ability. This year’s election cannot be a I real test of the ‘‘new spirit” un ! less several candidates dare to run independently of organized tickets. Otherwise the most that can hap pen is that the tickets will be split, and no ticket has been elected intact sihee Tom Stod [ dard's lineup went in without a i break three years ago. | If one or more members of next year's executive council is elected [ without a party back of him, the A. W. S. may certainly claim a ! moral victory. But as yet no knight-errant has mounted any political dark-horses to champion “individual voting.” GENE LOVE GIVEN ROLE OF ‘HAMLET’ IN PLAY (Continued from To ye One) ■ romantic Beau of Bath, and most j particularly Sir Toby Belch, who ; with Chuck Jones as Aguecheck kept the audience in gales of 1 a u ghte r throughout "Twelfth Night." This year he began with the business man and heavy father in “Ducy," then surprised every one by the fine understanding and I sympathy which he showed in the role of Osborne, the uncle, of "Journey's End.” "Hamlet" gives Gene his first opportunity in a relatively young | role. ' ' The rest of the cast will be an ' nounced within a few days by Mrs. Seybolt.

Two bed sheets bearing sinister stains which the prosecution contended was the blood of Kahahawai were unfolded and waved before the racially mixed jury after a police officer had testified similar linen was missing from a bed in the home. A length of rope, blood stains on a bedroom floor, evidence that the bath room had recently been scrubbed, a photograph of Kahaha wai taken from a woman’s purse, an automatic pistol and a steel jacketed bullet were mentioned by a succession of prosecution wit nesses as their findings in the house. Search for Child Renewed Secretly HOPEWELL, N. J., April 12.— (AP)—Dr. John F. Condon’s early activities as an intermediary in the Lindbergh kidnaping were recog nized officially today as the 70 year-old “Jafsie” cut off his tele phone and pursued secretly his ef forts to reestablish contact with the abductors. From police at the Lindbergh home came word that ‘‘no further negotiations nor resumed negotia tions with the kidnapers have been reported to us, and nothing is known of any anticipated resump tion.” Col. Lindbergh was authority for the statement that ‘‘by means of newspaper advertisements and notes received from the kidnap ers contact was maintained be tween the family and the kidnapers until final arrangements were made for the payment of the ran som by the intermediary in a Bronx (a borough of New York City) cemetery.” Earthquakes Subside in Chile and Argentina SANTIAGO, Chile, April 12.— (AP)—The people in the 400-mile strip in Chile and Argentina, which has been darkened for two days by a heavy rain of ashes from border volcanoes, breathed easier today as the sun peeked feebly from the clouds. They were no longer panicky and business was resumed. Earthquakes had subsided, with only occasional rumblings noted. Seismologists said the danger of violent eruptions or earthquakes apparently was over for the time being. Oregon Plant Life To Be Discussed by Curator Experiences as a pioneer botan ist in Oregon will be recalled by Professor R. L. Henderson, curator of the University herbarium, at an open meeting of Beta Lambda, bio logical honorary, 7:30 Thursday | evening at 103 Deady.

By Maurice Bedel. Translated from the French by Samuel Middlebrook. E. P. Dutton & Co. A French jab at Italy is taken here by M. Bedel in this satire on the Fascist state. The author of the successful novel, “Jerome; or the Latitude of Love,” describes the experiences of a French mid dle-class family who visit Rome. M. Grenadier, successful merchant, has become an important figure in French politics through the maga zine he publishes. Resolved that everything in France has either gone to the dogs or will soon leave, and that Fascism is the ideal gov ernment, he goes to see for him self. No matter where M. Grenadier and his family move in Italy, they are under the constant surveil lance of the police, and are fre quently arrested. Yet so strong is Grenadier's enthusiasm for the country that even after they are forcibly ordered out of it, accom panied by two armed guards, he praises the government for its kindness in furnishing them with guards. Bedel’s picture of Rome as suffocating under the iron rule of Mussolini is vivid. Philippine, Grenadier's young and beautiful daughter, is besieged by Italian suitors, showing that despite the rigid laws of II Duce, romance still lies in Italy’s heart. This romantic side of the book, how ever, which flashes on and off throughout, is unreal and inade quate. Bedel's satire is directed not so much at Italy as it is at those Frenchmen who are criticizing their own country. The author's keen, terse style is admirable for this type of writing, and the book should find favor among those who enjoy satire. However, by writing it M. Bedel has lost the chance of ever visiting Italy again, by official edict. And, of course, his book is banned in that country. It should find its great est sale in Germany.—R. S. New Political Journal Accepts Mez’ Review Word has jusi t>een received from the American Political Science Re view of the acceptance of a book review written by Dr. John R. Mez, associate professor of economics and political science. “Morgen Weider Krieg” is the title of the volume, and Dr. Ludwig Mueller of Switzerland is the author. Dr. Mez translated the title as “Another War Tomorrow,” and he reports the book contains a search ing analysis of Europe today, with special reference to tendencies making for war, such as the strength of nationalist sentiment, increasing armaments, and the un ending international friction. The resume of the book will ap pear in an early issue of the Amer ican Political Science Review, the editor reports. Education Professor Returns From Meeting Professor Fred J. Stetson, of the school of education, returned the first of the week from the conven tion of the Inland Empire associa tion, at Spokane. Professor Stetson took an active part in the convention. He gave two reports for the Northwest as sociation, on the development of a unified curriculum in the small high school, and on the introduc tion and use of the long period plan in the high school. Professor Stetson is a member of the crediting commission for higher schools in the Northwest. This commission passes upon applica tions for status in the association. This year schools from California, Utah, Washington, Oregon and Montana were accepted. Professor Stetson was chairman of the Phi Beta Kappa breakfast of the Inland Empire division. He was also chairman of the dinner for research men in education in various institutions in the nlland Empire.
