Let’s Advertise This Hell
T DON'T like Bruce Barton. I abhor his preachy articles which
"*■ I find in Sunday magazine sections, sandwiched between Ad
vice to the Lovelorn and Contract Bridge for Everybody, I
place him on the same plane with Eddie Guest and get just *
about as much kick out of him. I don’t like Bruce Barton.
But to every intelligent student and faculty member on this
campus I wholeheartedly recommend Bruce Barton's article in
the May issue of the American magazine. Mr. Barton is an ad
vertising man, and he proposes to advertise war. Not as we
advertised it in 1917, but in its true colors; let us paint a picture
of the reality of the slaughter, he says.
His proposal may be startling, but hardly illogical. He advo
cates reducing the annual military budget five per cent and
spending the fifty-seven million dollars in a world-wide adver
tising campaign. Mr. Barton has advertised General Motors
automobiles with unusual success. Why not let him advertiso
war in all its glory ? Advertising pays.
Not only does he propose advertising, but like a good execu
tive, he submits a campaign. A half-dozen advertisements in
color depict the hideous results of war. Like the stories of 1917,
they play on the human emotions— for psychologists have found
that a man’s heart is more susceptible than his head. But facts,
staggering facts, show the colossal waste of war. Vivid are
the pictures and compelling is the copy. Professor Thacher
would undoubtedly give Mr. Barton an "A” for his advertise
ments.
If peace is worth having, it is worth paying for. And Mr.
■Barton analyzes the facts of war just as his advertising agency
would analyze the baking soda market for a client. “Fear is
the greatest cause of war,” he says. _ “War machinery starts
war,” he continues. “War is economically unsound. War is
not glory but slaughter.”
Surveying the media, Mr. Barton proposes a full-page adver
tisement each month in every magazine; one each week in every
newspaper; and a similar campaign in the European press. Ho
suggests secondly that similar effort be expended to educate
America to the problems of Europe. Sympathetic understanding
he believes essential to world harmony.
So Mr. Barton wants to advertise war. We pray for peace
and we weep for it, he says. Let us advertise war in all its
phases, using but a fraction of the more than two billion we
spend annually for wars, past and future. Quoting General
Sherman’s famous phrase, “War is Hell,” Mr. Barton pleads
“Let us advertise this HELL.”
And we reply, "Let’s advertise.”
If tranquillity of peace means more to the people of Oregon
than the glory of war, we respectfully recommend to the state
legislature that they return the battleship “Oregon” to Uncle
Sam, and spend the $30,000 each year teaching the children
of our citizens that war is not inevitable, that war is not won
drous, but that war is HELL. That for a starter.
An Unfortunate Situation
^JpHE HIT-AND-RUN accident Monday night in which Ann
Baum was injured brings forcibly to our attention once more
the unfortunate plan on which the University campus has been
built.
It was never intended that the campus of a university which
enrolls some three thousand students should be divided in twain
by an important city thoroughfare such as 13th street. Seven
days a week autos of all size and description race back and
forth through the campus, and six days a week students are
forced to cross the busy street on their way to and from classes.
It is too much to expect that with such a situation existing
there would not be accidents, and the facts have borne out this
statement. Students in a hurry to got to classes can not be
expected to stop, look, and listen too carefully; motorists, also
in a hurry, can not be expected in this day and age to respect
too much the rights of the students who find it necessary to be
in their road occasionally.
In the light of these facts, it seems only at matter of time
before some member of the University population will suffer
death or serious injury at the hands of an autoisi possibly a
hit-and-run motorist. But it is of little consequence whether
it i.^ a hit-and-run motorist or not collecting damages from
the offender or locking him up in jail will not bring back lost
life or lost health.
Public opinion in all its power should rise up and demand
of the “powers that be" that such an unfortunate situation be
corrected without further dtlav
Like battle-worn soldiers guard
ing the portals of a veritable hell,
two tarnished and dented brass
andirons stood attention in the
mouth of a red brick fireplace and
ahead of leaping, roaring, and fan
tastic flames. They lived only
when they were alone, for, at the
sound of approaching footsteps
they fall into a stiff, frozen silence
j —stricken dead, as it were, by a
mysterious command of the uni
verse.
Three young men sat before
them, watching the dancing
flames and talking of themselves
and of others. The men, strong,
aspiring, and typical of American
youth, lolled in their chairs, smoked,
and drowsily argued.
“Warner," said one, “what would
you do if you were asked to fight
for your country?”
"I’d tell them to go straight to
hell. My body isn’t going to
be chopped to pieces for this coun
try or any other.”
“I take it,” said the third, “that
cowardice is behind that, Warner.”
“You’re wrong,” sleepily an
swered the accused, “I only be
lieve that if everyone would refuse
to fight we would have no wars.
Cowardice be damned! Ha, you’re
absolutely wrong.”
“Agreed," said Warnack, “there
would be no wars, but I’ll venture
to say that if war is ever declared
some nincompoops will go and
then we’ll have to fight to keep
them from being blown to pieces.”
"But I won’t be the first to go.
They’ll have to drag me out,”
chimed the third. “Let’s away and
to bed.”
The three men had left the room.
The light was out and the glowing
coals in the fireplace smirked and
spit an occasional yellow flame
that threw grotesque shadows on
the walls of the room.
"Fools! Idiots! Hypocrites!”
cursed one of the staring andirons’.
“Let war be declared, bands play,
flags wave, and women weep.
Those boys will forget their words
of tonight.”
The scarred sentinels watched
until the last dying ember shone
no moj-e, sighed, and fell asleep.

STUDENTS REPRESENTA
TIVE GROUP AT MEET
(Continued from Tage One)
en the problem of membership of
the forum. The majority of those !
speaking favored a large member
ship consisting of upper and lower j
class representatives of each liv- j
ing organization and the honorary I
societies.
Advantages Suggested
The advantages of a large mem- j
bership with both upper and lower
class students included suggested
were that it would provide a train
ing school for student body offi-!
cers, would present both upper |
i class and lower class sentiments,!
would forestall the possibility of
an oligarchy controlling the gov
ernment and would make possible
proportional representation of the
larger houses and dormitories.
David Wilson, Sigma Phi Epsilon
delegate, stated that the nature of j
the honorary fraternities to be ad
mitted to representation should be
taken into consideration. He was
opposed in this belief by Art Pot
j win of Beta Theta Pi, on the
grounds that the membership of
i all honoraries would tend to block
' the operation of political machines.
Proposal that the committee to
| study membership and organiza
j tion should hear all groups was
| made by the Phi Delt delegate.
He also urged that the committee
[ study plans for proportional repre
sentation.
Chairman Debated
Who the chairman of the forum I
I should be was argued from many
parts of the floor, some delegates
favoring the A. S. U. O. president
; anti others a non-partisan chair
man who would be merely a pre
siding officer. All felt that the
student head should be in close
contact with the action of the
forum.
Wallace Campbell, Yeoman, ex
pressed the opinion that the forum
will within a short time assume
power through its voice of student
opinion and for this reason the stu
dent body president should form a ■
close link between the forum and
the A. S. U. O. officers.
President Favored
Orville Bailey, Beta representa- (
tive; Kd Bolds, from Phi Delt; aud 1
Mimnaugh favored the student
president as chairman so he would
be in a position to feel the pressure
of the student opinion. Potwin
and Wilson, on the other hand,
wanted a man who would say
nothing but would be in a posi
tion to administer rules of order
impartially, leaving the president
free to speak from the floor at
will. Mimnaugh said that this was
a strong argument.
On suggestions by Betty Anne
Macduff and Bailey and motion by
Campbell, Mimnaugh appointed
the following committee to study
membership ami draw plans for
organization: David Wilson, chair
man. Wallace Campbell, Robert
Miller, Aimee Sten and Barbara
Conley. This committee will mee:
today at d o'clock in 105 Journal
ism building to appoint sub-com
mittees.
Nearly 100 delegates from many
living organizations attended this
iu\t meeting ol student lorum.
Professor? Party
First to Conquer
Volcano in Winter
| SEWARD, Alaska, April 20.—
] (AP)—A special dispatch to the
Seward Gateway from Chignik on
: the south shore of the Alaska Pe
ninsula related today how Father
Bernard Hubbard, professor of
geology at Santa Clara university,
] California, with two companions,
successfully climbed Katmai vol
| eano across from Kodiak island,
\ the first time it has been con
j quered in winter.
The trip almost ended in disas
j ter because of the lateness in start
! ing. The party was held up three
weeks waiting for a dog team from
the interior. The Kaitmai river ice
broke up suddenly and the explor
ers had to pull their sled and sup
plies over moving ice blocks, floun
j dering waist-deep at times in the
| icy water while struggling back to
Shelikoff strait.
Most of the food was lost but all
photographic and scientific data
; was saved. The boat which was
supposed to call for them did not
come. Two weeks later the crew
of the motorship Polar Bear saw
smoke signals of the marooned
party on Katmai beach and rescued
the men and dogs.
With no game in the desolate
region around Katmai beach, the
men were forced to eat dog meat
and shell fish and were in a weak
ened condition from the unusual
diet.

LITERARY SIGNPOST
THE REAL MOZART
Mozart. By Marcia Davenport.
Charles Scribner’s Sons.
Reviewed by ALTINE ROGERS
"I have not . evoked an imaginary
Mozart; there is a real one,” says
Marcia Davenport in her foreword
to "Mozart.” “He exists for any
one to know, in his voluminous let
ters and in his still more volumin
out works.” With this as a begin
ning Mrs. Davenport tries to hu
manize the almost legendary fig
ure of the great composer through
out an interesting work which fol
lows him from the cradle to the
grave.
Authorities on the subject have
pronounced the work historically
accurate. To those who have had
little acquaintance with Mozart,
the tale of his achievements will
seem almost incredible. At four
he wrote his first concerto for the
clavier, at seven he was a famous
clavier-player, at eight he had pro
duced his first symphony, at fif
teen he had seen his first opera
produced on the stage. Until his
death at thirty-five he continued
to write—songs, dances, symphon
ies, operas—most of them dashed
off in haste and sent off, unrevised,
to a publisher who could never
find faults in their composition.
Yet Mozart’s life was a constant
struggle; his fortunes were now
up, now down, but he never
achieved recognition of his true
worth during his lifetime.
Mrs. Davenport has spent much
time and research in preparing her
book. Herself the daughter of Al
ma Gluck and stepdaughter of Ef
j rem Zimbalist., she was reared in
a musical atmosphere, which aid
ed her considerably. When she be
gan her work on Mozart she fol
lowed his trail conscientiously
through every town—with the ex
ception of one or two in Italy—
every house, and every theatre the
man had ever been'in. Some of his
and his wife’s letters she has
translated herself, others are re
produced from authoritative trans
lations. The result is a well-organ
ized, interesting biography.
