Welcome, Oregon Mothers "^y^HILE fervent prayers go out to Jupe Pluvius today, asking that he put his battered sprinkling can on the shelf for the week-end, the campus forgets its worries and gives itself over to joy and revelry. It’s Junior Week-end, a magic time, recognized for years as the outstanding event of the campus calendar. Studies will be forgotten this afternoon—but why not after mid-terms and a month of classes have been finished and days most unlike spring term have been endured? It’s time for a vacation. This year Junior Week-end will take on added significance with the celebration of Mothers’ Day on a bigger scale than ever before. Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the University, will have his lasting gift of the Pioneer Mother statue unveiled tomorrow for the benefit of hundreds of mothers and many pio neers from all sections of the state who will be here for the event. The Pioneer Mother statue is a notable gift to the cam pus, the state and the entire West—a tribute to heroic charac ters who built an empire. There are many things to do today: campus luncheon, tennis court features, baseball game, Prom. Tomorrow comes the water carnival, statue unveiling, mothers’ tea, banquet, and the far famed Canoe Fete. Sunday visiting mothers will be entertained at campus living organizations. Three gala days are ahead for you, Oregon Mothers, and we welcome you whole-heartedly to our campus. Three wonderful days are in store for you, too, Oregon students. Ever since the latter part of winter term the Junior Week-end directorate has been working hard to make these days enjoyable ones. We know they will be. Education or Training ? TTTHILE spring brings showers, flowers, Junior week-end, commencement and light thoughts on love, the May num ber of the Atlantic Monthly brings a somewhat heavier disserta tion on ‘‘The University in American Life" from the pen of Abraham Flexner. For prospective graduates who have been paying out $26.25 thrice annually for the last four years in the interests of higher education, Mr. Flexner baldly says: "The over crowded American college is engaged in making a necessarily unsuccessful effort to teach boys and girls what they ought to have learned before they left their local high schools." The iconoclastic Mr. Flexner not only succeeds in taking much of the joy out of approaching commencement exercises, but does so to the tune of highly convincing rhetoric. Witness: "the university cognizant of the past, grappling with the pres ent, straining toward the future, is the only institution capable of maintaining intellectual values. But the university cannot perform this task if it is itself distracted by the number and variety of the activities it sponsors." These distracting activities are, according to Mr. Flexner, all so-called "service" tasks in the form of professional schools. Training, he points out, is not education. It is the ability to do different things without profoundly understanding the processes therein involved. Education is understanding the fundamental problems and processes. Through relentless questioning of status quo the student purifies cultural values, maintaining only; those: by which a workable world scheme may be followed. The stu dent therefore is ultimately the highest type of leader. Whereas training is highly desirable it is not the function of higher edu cation. With eight professional schools as her immediate pride and joy, the University of Oregon would seem to fit in well with Mr. Flexner's pointed conceptions of the American university as it should not be. in that case, too, Mr. Flexner would have to consider fully half of those expecting to graduate, not as educated men and women but merely trained citizens, all manner of sueep-skin documents and caps and gowns to the contrary. Borah Names Methods Of Economic Recover) WASHINGTON, May 5.- (AH) —Three pathways to the economic recovery of the world were chart ed in the senate today by Chair man Borah of the foreign relations committee in a denunciation of in ternational leadership and “timid ity of governments." Disarmament settlement of the reparations problem, and restora tion if silver were demanded by the Idaho orator, his powerful voice booming a challenge to the rulers of the world. He pointed to restlessness of the masses, everywhere, at the failure of governments to meet the prob lems, adding "1 do not know how long the people will be willing to carry the burden they are bow car rying- ' TM€ . . ^orridor By V. H. Hal The great vultures have pounced upon me. Seldom does a columnist escape the greedy claws of these publicity birds and seldom does a columnist fail to surrender to them. I was asked to devote one article to the Canoe Fete, but I refused, saying that it would be recognized immediately as public ity and I would be in danger of losing my few readers. I weak ened. • Yesterday we had almost 10 min utes of sunshine so I wandered over to the bleachers by the mill race to do a little reading. The | warm air, the quiet water, and fresh odor of green grass and bushes along the edge .prevented the immediate absorption of my mind in the book. The newly i painted numbers on the bleachers brought back to me the three or four Canoe Fetes that I have seen. With all their beauty and origin ality many funny things have hap pened during these float displays. One time the prom queen and her attendants were scheduled to drift down the race in a beautiful float which was to appear mysti cally out of the arch as if sent by magic power. The float was to resemble a crystal, the queen and her four attendants sitting with sedate stateliness inside. It was meant, I believe, to look like a co coon with one side transparent. Well, the Queen’s Float was launched and it drifted majestic ally through the arch ready to dis play itself in all its grandeur to the awaiting spectators. As it neared the race in front of the bleachers it began to swerve as if the jesting waters of the mill-race were ripping it completely out of control. It contintinued to swing around until, in full view of the spectators, it faced about display ing the carefully prepared side to the willows on the opposite bank. The raw, unfinished rear was gap ing wildly toward the prowded j bleachers and the four honored; maidens were sitting; still quite | sedate upon cracker boxes amid! the raw boards of internal con-1 struction. The mill-race assistants were maneuvering vigorously to pull the stubborn float and the hu miliated ladies of the court into po sition. Continued attempts and much raucous yelling were to no avail. The disgraced cocoon floated the entire length thrilling the lone ly weeds and bushes with its one impressive side. MEMORIAL COURT OPEN The memorial court of the Prince L. Campbell Art Museum will be open for the week-end to students, mothers and other visi tors on the campus.
