Hopes that underclassmen of future years would not be compelled to don the infamous "monkey suits” were doomed to disappointment Monday when the state board of higher education voted to continue military training on a compulsory basis. "Public pressure” proved too much for the committee that had previously recommended that military courses be made optional, and the pleas of preachers, pacifists and professors will go unheeded. B. F. Irvine, member of the committee, in an nouncing the withdrawal of the original resolution, said he was convinced there was a “strong public sentiment for continua tion of compulsory military training.” At earlier committee meetings the military enthusiasts outweighed the peace-lovers, and from all parts of the states “patriotic” organizations voiced their protests against the proposed change. The general change of heart was evidenced in F. E. Canister's statement: “I believe that the training contributes to the phy sical well-being of the young men who receive it, that the mili , tary training they receive is of great value to the nation, that the discipline is good for the students themselves, and that such training does not make militarists of anyone taking it.” With all of which we arc inclined to gently disagree. But the board agreed to eliminate the granting of degrees in military science. We are at a loss as to how to reconcile this action with the retention of compulsory military training, so we presume it is another example of educational compromise—this time a compromise with principle. But after all, why worry? Compulsory military training on this campus is not quite as compulsory as its name might indi cate. If you haven't a yen for military or prefer using the three hours for something else, just pull a hard luck story and you’ll be exempted. And it doesn’t require a genius to concoct a hard luck story. Oh! For a Dark Horse SET, folks. Politics are stirring at last. Yup, Bob Hall, who's been going to run for student body president for so long that the official announcement of his candidacy was scarcely news except for the definite line-up of Messrs. Kinney and Bailey on the ticket, is in the field in full force. Oh, and there are others running on the ticket, too. A couple of attrac tive co-eds, and an independent man to drag in the dorm vote, will be named soon. So far they’ve been held off to get a little more publicity. The political pot is boiling again, but the only thing needed now is a little opposition to make the campaign interesting. Sit in on some political bull-sessions at the Side, talk to the boys “in on the know" along nicotine row all that is to be heard is the lament: "Let's have some competition to make this elec tion worth-while.” Now, Mr. Hall, we believe that you and the other young men and women on your side of the political fence are worthy aspirants for A. S. U. O. positions. You would make capable student leaders, and have been outstanding in campus activities But, Mr. Hall and co., we, too, think you should have a little competition to keep this old spring term up to snuff. Just a little good-natured fun all around, and maybe you could win the old election after all. Oregon Spirit is on the decline, sad-faced observers of cam pus events say. One thing that would put it on the up-grade again womd be a little pepper in this year's election campaign. Our kingdom for a horse, preferably a dark one!

Hal I hesitate to discuss the subject of Love and Marriage. In fact I flatly refuse. Individuals who de mand information on such a ques tion usually look to authorities. I, obviously, am no authority. Yet, at the request of several persons who have not taken the time to check through volumes of hidden advice, I have selected a few, very few, words of several great masters. These, if they prove sufficiently enlightening, will pro vide definite and excellent clues to more elaborate advice. I have given Balzac first place in my list which is necessarily brief because of my limited space. He deserves it, if for no other reason than his limitless flow of words on this subject. He says: “In married life, the moment when two hearts come to under stand each other is sudden as a flash of lightning, and never re turns, when once it is passed . . "We do not attach ourselves permanently to any possessions excepting in proportion to the trouble, toil, and longing which they have cost us. . . "Man goes from aversion to love; but if he has begun by lov ing, and afterwards comes to feel aversion, he never returns to love . . . ‘‘The more a man judges the less he loves ...” Now Cervantes is less prolific in his advice and gives us only a hint or two in his "Don Quixote.” To quote: “True love brooks no division, and must needs be voluntary, and not enforced . . . "Honor and virtue are the or naments of the soul, without which the fairest body is not to be esteemed such.” Pascal, who wanders throughout a complete essay on love, says: “When a man is fastidious in any quality of his mind, he is so in love . . .

By Ethel Kelley. Farrar & Rinehart. Enid, whom most men had loved For her soul rather than for her physical self, was married to John, in average man, inclined to poor health, but a good lawyer and hus band. Alice, strikingly beautiful, vain and selfish, with good inten sions but weak character, was wed ded to Giles, a poetically inclined young man who was deeply in love with his wife but found himself unable to keep her amused. Enid and Giles, however, were mutually attracted toward each other, while Alice, although in love with Giles, Felt affection toward Dick and Hal ifax, two extremely wealthy young men, and Giles also has become in terested in Valeria . . . From this rather complex situation, Ethel Kelley, one of the best of Ameri can women writers, weaves a story about a group of young well-to-do people in New York, nearly every one of whom is in love'with two or more others at the same time. The story is well told. The char acterizations are admirably drawn, particularly those of the women. The dialogue is sprightly in its so phisticated chaffiness and adds much to the book. When it suits her purpose the author slips into the stream - of - unconsciousness method of describing her charac ters’ thought and feeling, especial ly in the case of gentle and sensi tive Enid. The novel is ultra-mod ern in its theme and construction and makes one hope that Miss Kel ley will continue to forsake lighter writing for such significant work as this. —K.
