In his hands will rest the destiny of Volume 34 of the Oregon Daily Emerald. To be the voice of three thousand college men and women is a responsibility as well as a privilege. May he use it well. | In these hectic days of collegiate journalism much is required of an editor, and much is expected. With Reed Harris expelled from Columbia university for bucking the administration, a chal lenge is hurled into the face of every student editor. Whether a college publication shall be an official house organ or an inde pendent newspaper that is the issue. We are confident that Richard Neuberger will make his stand—and stand by it. With full knowledge of our own shortcomings, our lack of courage, and our rather mediocre record, we pass on to the coming editor a set of ideals that we have held aloft. To our mind, they constitute the guiding stars of the newspaperman who would uphold and preserve the sacred trust of the fourth estate. May the new editor find in them inspiration, and more. The first of our ideals are TRUTH and COURAGE. It re quires a wise man to find the truth and a brave man to print it. Freedom of the press hinges largely on these two factors. If a newspaper is to carry on the finest traditions of journalism, truth and courage must be imbued in its editor and imprinted in its columns. FAIRNESS and SINCERITY give dignity and respect to any paper. They do much to offset the rah-rah spirit with which collegiate journalism has been cursed. Let the news depict a fair and honest picture of every situation, and let the editor’s views reflect sincerity of belief. The last, but hardly the least, of our guiding stars have been PROGRESSIVENESS and PROPORTION. Without the spirit of liberalism progress is doomed. In both national and campus affairs it is essential that a progressive attitude be adopted. In our hands rest the destinies of the nation, for the college youth of today will be the leader of tomorrow. To regard each event in its proper proportion is a quality any editor may well aspire to. But the spirit of progress is paramount. So, in extending our greeting to the new editor, we point out to him our guiding stars, and express the hope that at the conclusion of his term he may write “30” at the end of a better volume than ours. And we commend to him the lines of John McCrae: “To you from falling hands we throw the torch, Be yours to hold it high.” On the Wrong Track <4'Tf'HE ASSOCIATED Women Student* will roniuin staunch in their support of individual rather than mass voting. . . . This stands as a challenge to those seeking office, a challenge which an ardent and enthusiastic candidate cannot ignore." This statement by Ann Baum, president of the A. W. S.. would seem to indicate that with the opening of the season for aspiring political candidates to step forward and announce whether their intentions are honorable or not, a renewed campaign will be undei way to abolish party politics. We are not prepared to voice an opinion as to the ability of the A. W. S. to carry out its pledge for individual voting. But it remains a fact that in the past, organizations have often been unable to control their membership to tiie voting of straight tickets, rt is therefore reasonable to believe that the A. W. S. will be as unable to prevent some of the sororities from joining purty lineups. The temptation may prove too great to enter in on the spoils of a party victory. But aside from this, what does the plan idealized by the A. W. S. hold for campus politics and student government? In the first place, it would increase the difficulty of selection and preparation of suitable candidates for student office. What is to prevent a dozen men announcing their intention to run for student body president? Isn't the way thrown open for all the organizations to push forward their favorite sons for considera tion on the ballot? With several candidates running for each position no one would be able to command a majority of the votes cast. The result would be a government of the minority — a thing no student of government will advocate and which, no doubt, the A. W. S. wants least of all. Furthermore, after election and installation of officers, how are these same officers to be held responsible for their campaign pledges? If they owe no allegiance to party and are not honor bound to carry out their avowed plans, who is going to exert the necessary pressure to bring about the desired action? The students as a mass cannot exert this pressure without the power of recall or initiative. The living organizations will not exert it because they have not been a unit in voting on the issues lu the past parties have been criticized because they did not form on certain definite issues. But this may not be a fault of the political parties, but rather of the system of student government. If there are certain clearly outlined issues over which students may disagree, the party system is the only way that the majority opinion can rule. If these issues do not c.\i.‘ then student government Ua- lost its leason lor being nings, in his home, he would turn on the automatic phonograph, switch off the lights, sink in a deep, comfortable chair and listen to record after record of beautiful symphonies. He would allow his mind to play about in fancy, for get the harshness of the outside world, and presently emerge fresh to tackle new problems. During the recent Portland Sym phony concert a lady sat next to me who violently led the orchestra with the tap of her toe and the nod of her head. She knew and under stood each composition, accurate ly followed the changes in tempo, and seemed to work with each mu sician. At this same concert I noticed a person lolling in his seat, eyes closed, and an expression of su preme rapture on his face. Others, I saw, watched and lis tened quietly. Still others moved restlessly about, looking this way and that. Just why is it that people enjoy music? That question cannot be answered by a blanket statement. I am fully aware that nearly every person has his own reason. Some, no doubt, cannot explain it others will analyze their enjoyment, flow erily but vaguely. Music is purely emotional. If the listener fails to be swept into new and inexplicable wonderlands or if his imagination cannot be stimulated, he enjoys the simpler pleasures of listening to or watch ing the performance of an individ ual player. X have heard persona flayed, called hypocrites, for pretending to enjoy music when in reality they are neither emotionally stimulated or interested in the technical per formance. I see no reason why they should be scorned. In fact, I admire those who sincerely try to find something in music that they know must be there. If they do it for their own spiritual develop ment, regardless of failure, they should be helped and encouraged. Surely it is possible that they can find something. I liken this to a situation which a person who re ceives no pleasure in reading a cer tain book struggles through it be cause he knows that it is consid ered a classical masterpiece and necessary for an intellectual back ground.

FOR A WALK To the Editor: I read that some new walks are to be laid. Pray let them be put where they are needed, rather than where some designer’s genius dis tates! Note the convenient placing of the walk for Susie girls in a hurry to get to the dining room! Note the twenty feet of mud east of Education which soiled shoes a hundred thousand times this win ter, yet Building and Grounds re fused to put a walk there! Note a dozen other places where hundreds daily feel the temptation to walk on the grass, and sometimes yield! Beauty and time economy for 1 busy students can be combined, as the Old Campus and other college campuses testify. Yet we at Ore gon seem doomed to expensive and rather ugly terracing, and walks designed without regard for Py thagoras’ theorem, that the hypot enuse of a right triangle is always shorter than the sum of the other two 3ides. We are apparently at ; the mercy of architects and land ; scapers whose whims for stiff and unnatural design furnish us with an inconvenient, unduly expensive campus, which discredits when vis itors compare dollar for dollar re sults on other campuses. Fellow students, may the powers that be aid us ere all is lost! Yours constructively, —J. Ed. C. BOYS LEAVE FARM HOME CORVALLIS, April 14—(AP) — L. M.
