With this premise in mind, the Emerald this morning suggests that Oregon and Oregon State play their annual football game in Portland November 5, the division of profits to be on a 3-3-3 basis—one-third to each school and one-third to the Portland community chest. Doubtless this is an unexpected suggestion to those who thought the location of the game settled once and for ali at Corvallis, but the Emerald be lieves it is a worthy one. These are unusual times and they call for un usual action. The present economic crisis has made thousands of persons dependent upon the PorLland community chest for the necessities of life this winter. It would be a splendid thing if the football game between the state’s two largest institutions could contribute from $8,500 to $15,000 to the coffers of Portland's great charity organi zation. # * # Ten-thousand dollars, should a third of the profits be that much, would buy approximately 10,000 sacks of potatoes for hungry folks this win ter; and 10,000 sacks of potatoes would restore a lot of people's faith in humanity and keep several thousand prospective young citizens plump and healthy until the sunshine of spring. This paper can conceive of no greater service Oregon and Oregon State could offer than that of contributing a third of the profits of their game to the community chest. The Multnomah club, which always gets a divi sion of the receipts, could cooperate by taking a much smaller cut at this game, thereby doing its share in aiding the charity enterprise. # * w Approximately 31,000 persons paid around $33,000 to see the Oregon-Washington sccoreless tie Saturday. Should that many watch Oregon and Oregon State meet at Portland, the community chest would be richer by almost $10,000. As afore mentioned, $10,000 can do wonders when applied to needy cases. * * # Surely the student bodies of both Oregon and Oregon State would be willing to make the sacri fice of having the game moved to Portland for such a notable cause. The graduate managers and coaches of both schools must be witling to make the change. Certainly the Multnomah stadium is willing to accept a smaller proportion of the pro fits so that the community chest can benefit to as great an extent as possible. This paper will not believe that any faction in either of the colleges will let personal opinions and petty grievances influence it in preventing the transfer of the game to Portland. When there is a possibility of the game's con tributing from $8,000 to $15,000 to charity, the question of its site becomes an issue not to be side-stepped nor evaded. The Emerald asks tHe graduate managers and student councils of both Oregon and Oregon State to make immediate de cisions in this matter. * * * The school that refuses to move the game to Portland on a 3-3-3 charity basis is allowing itself' incapable of meeting an emergency and unde.serv-; ing of future public support. For years the people' of Portland have supported tIre football teams of the two colleges. Now it is up to the colleges to reciprocate by contributing a sizable sum to the support of Portland’s needy. * * * Nor should the merchants of Eugene or Corval lis question the advisability of the transfer. All year long they are patronized by the students of Oregon and Oregon State. If the students are willing to send the game to Portland, the merchants should lend their efforts towards assuring the suc cess of the project. This paper is glad to have had the opportunity of taking the initiative in this worthwhile enter prise. It now leaves the situation in the hands of those who control athletics at Oregon and Oregon State. It believes it is their duty to see that the game is played in Portland. YOUR OPINIONS SOLICITED BECAUSE this paper is a paper of, for and by the students of the University of Oregon, there is a column in each issue open to criticism and sug gestions from membc.:; of the student body. The Emerald invites the stu lents to take an active part in this form by sendin-; letters to the editor. The name of the column dcvoted to campus opinion is the "Safety Valve.” The cognomen is self-explana tory, a short line under the main head saying it is “an outlet for surplus steam.” The editor of the Emerald urges the students to send in their comments and opinions. He believes the paper can serve the student body best if in the editor’s mail each day there are a few letters that reflect the thoughts and ideas of the campus. Criticism is as welcome as praise, suggestion as welcome as condemnation. The Emerald merely wishes to emphasize that the “Safety Valve” offers every student an opportunity to express his opin ions in print. Comment on any campus situation or problem is invited. It is the duty of each student who observes a flaw in the manner in which University or student body business is conducted, to call at tention to such in the "Safety Valve.” No communication should exceed 400 to 500 words in length. It is preferable that they be signed, and the editor reserves the right to with hold any contributions that are unsigned or libelous in any way. Initials will suffice in some instances, although the communications that will find their way to the printer's form likely will be those that appear above students’ signatures. EDUCATORS OR NAPOLEONS? TAOWN in the Gran Chaco they’re having a little •*-' rumpus. In Brazil the federate and the insur gents are fighting it out to see who will run the country. In China they’re lining up people and shooting them and then going out to find more people to shoot at, or about. In Oregon they’re fighting about schools. Some body wants to move a school here and someone else a school there as if they were wooden soldiers on the chessboard of education. Now it is only too obvious that Bolivia and Paraguay, China, and even Brazil are getting nowhere at all right now while they are engaged in slitting each other’s weazands. Likewise, the educational powers in Oregon are arriving at the equally distilled essence of nil. Edu cation is not a factor in our life that will be height ened one whit by fighting and squabbling. The only way Oregon will ever achieve any great de gree of educational prominence is for the “powers that be” to cease struggling and settle down to a little unified work. Let’s hot scramble our educational system in perilous times like these. NO TICKET VOTING TODAY IT WILL be buying a pig in a poke when fresh man voters go to the polls today. Because of the amount of pre-election hooey, the lack of any delinite platforms or program, choices will have to be based on political lineups, or pure intuition alone. Pre-campaign platforms promised everything from political Utopia, to a smashing defeat of the Zorn-Macpherson school grab bill. Just exactly how this Utopia was to be attained or the vicious mea sure defeated was not stated by the party leaders. Such generalizations are a little thin, and smack of upper-class origin. The Emerald, impartial in its political attitude, would be perfectly willing to back any candidate with a concrete, constructive program. So far, neither candidate nor party has come forward with a clear-cut definite program. The lack of defi nite platform shows the necessity of voting for candidates on personal merit alone, rather than be cause of the quite futile vote-trading between houses. One student at Woodmere school in New York was killed and 27 others were shocked recently when a bolt of lightning struck a fence against which some of them were leaning while the foot ball squad was in a huddle with its coach, its members with their arms about each other. Some co-ed is going to get all her baths free at Marshall college this year, because the home nursing department needs some girl to be prac ticed on by student nurses who must learn to give patients baths while they are in bed. Thomas Arkie Clark, the first dean of men at the University of Illinois as well as in the United States, who became the most popular character on the Illinois campus in his 38 years there, is dead. Mrs. Margaret S. Palmer, wife of Dr. Samuel C. Palmer, professor of botany and graduate man ager of athletics at Swarthmore college, was drowned recently when she fainted in her bath. This ’n That What’s Happening at the Colleges USTIN, Tex Oct. 10. Police last week took into custody an apparently demented youth, de scribed as a "half-wit.” whom they sought to question in connection with the murder of Kdgar Collins Arledge Jr., University of Texas senior. Arledge was shot to death on the night of September I9|-*s he sat in a parked automobile with Miss Margaret Jean Trull, who was graduated from the university last June. Miss Trull was wounded slightly by the unidentified a---ail ant. Arledge wu a acpln -. of Dr. Eugene C. Barker, professor of history at ttic university. As a result of the murder, Pro ferros E. T Mitchell of the uni versity's philosophy department, proposed that "petting zones" be set aside so that students might be protected from bandits. "Though not desirable, it is in evitable that, young men and wo men should go riding in cars and park them." he declared. "They hav • been driven from well-lighted roads into out-of-way spots, where they attract murders and man iacs." l’ASAOENA, Calif..

MADISON. Wis . Oct. 10 Three fraternities at the University of Wisconsin were on probation a the result of asserted violations of rushing rules adopted by the in terfraternity board last spring. The board at that time decided to eliminate rushing during' the pe riod known as "orientation week." Names of die houses on probation were not announced. TUCSON. Ariz., Oct 10.

I' _ CAMPUS CARAVAN _By DAVE WILSON-— TTEADING yesterday’s caravan up 13th avenue — assorted sizes in sorority house-mothers, old and new. “We're going up to have our weekly meeting with Dean Schwering.” Wonder if anything worth-while happens at those sessions. . . . The dean must have lectured the full hour, for the house-mammas came back down the drag just as the next clas period was be ginning. * * * Are you a brother stock-holder in Campus Cold, Incorporated ? If there’s a flock of typographical errors in this column today it’s because I sneezed the keys crook ed on my typewriter. Health officials are reassuring. “We had one of the heaviest weeks on record for this time of year," replied Dr. Miller over the dispensary’s most sanitary tele phone. “Monday was the big day with 172 patients.” “No. no, there’s no sign of a flu epidemic. Just simple coryza." (You look that one up!) H* * * No wonder the campus looked deserted last Saturday. Doc Rob nett has just sent us a report audited by a C. P. A. showing that 1,293 students purchased tickets at the Co-op for the Washington game. That left about 700 stu dents here on the campus. But I counted noses, and there weren’t more than *100 here at the outside. Where, oh where were the missing* 300 ? Boy, page Inspector Rhine smith! They must have beer, out riding. Last Week’s Prize Emerald Headline: “IVUM” SALE STARTS TODAY Campus Women to Assist With Sale Before Husky Clash We're expecting the “Nonspi” and “O-Do-Ro-No” sales managers to lodge a formal complaint with the Emerald.

Max Otto's course, Man and Nature, because of his professed “atheism." This bit of information is really a surprise to us. But, perhaps, the editors of the Manitowoc Herald Times interpret the ideals and program of the stalwarts better than we who are removed, we sin cerely hope, from the mentality which could conceive of such a cheap, ignorant and prejudiced ac tion. At any- rate, nothing is impossi ble, we fear, in a day and time when political fakirs can envenom the body politic witli perverted in formation and doctored facts. Our only word is this. If any party, or any individual, teempts to tamper with or remove from the curriculum Prof. Otto's course in "Man and Nature," The Daily Cardinal, together with all of the embattled liberals at the univer sity will fight to the last ditcch to stop such a positively disgraceful action. There is no need to defend either Prof. Otto or his teaching before intelligent people. Suffice it to point out now that a Methodist minister who took this course in "Man and Nature" last year pro claimed publicly that he was a bet ter Christian for having done so.1 and that Prof Otto was one of .hi- mo ! Christian men he knee. But. so it seems, all this is be side the point to the forcecs of or ganized philistinism which, like savage beasts, are calling for the blood of one of the truest, one of the finest and most gentlemanly, teachers who has ever graced Wis consin's faculty, -Wisconsin Car dinal. PH. i). i >UR complaint against the liir v ing and promoting of college faculty members almost wholly on the basis of the number of letters after their names wins the ap plause of the Oregon Statesman, which adds, however, that the sys tem would not be so bady if it were not for the absurd training required for the master's and the doctor’s degrees. We are glad, in turn, to agree with this amend ment. No emitter how efficient the training might be for the job of teaching, nevertheless the road would be a long one for any ex cept this well-to-do travel. Suc cess glows more and more diffi cult for the poor boy or girl in the field of education. As for the present system of granting master's and doctor's de grees. it is decidedly aggravating. It consists of having the student make a detailed investigation of some minute part of a large prob lem -usually a large problem in which the dean or the professor at the head of the department is in terested. By piecing together the studies of many such aspirants, the dean or professor is able to make important announcements to the world. Perhaps he writes one .mmamne article buOO word, in i length which contains the gist of the findings of half a dozen stu dents, and if he is very charitable he mentions the names of these students in a footnote. This system, founded on that in the German schools, and said to be in use everywhere in the United States except at the University of Iowa, is a good thing for nobody except the deans and the profes sors. Such studies do not, by any stretch of the imagination, im prove the teaching abilities of the students. Indeed, in contemplat ing the fate of the young men and women caught in the scholastic system, we cannot but think of the lines, By slow-packed graves Slow progress paves The roadway to the goal, No counts the cost Of atoms lost To make the purpose whole. There will be plenty of those who have been among the atoms who will defend the system, but they are incapable of judging what they would have accomplished, and what they would have become, if the energy given to obscure spe cialized studies had been differ ently directed. There is excuse for the present method in developing research men, but not in develop ing teachers.—Morning Oregonian. Kibitzer -jp-.ive Wilson WHY should the automobile ban ^ extend to Portland ? Oregon students have accepted the rule as it applies to Eugene and vicin ity in good faith, but patience comes dose to the breaking point when the edict goes out that a stu dent home for the game may not operate his family's car. The faculty board of enforce ment is surely not compelled by the ruling, to extend the rule to Portland. A student may not own or operate a car while in attend ance at the University. A fair and liberal interpretation would grant that a student is not “in attend ance” when he is in Portland for the week-end. * * * As we understand it, the state board passed the automobile ban to make social life on this campus more democratic. What's demo cratic about having to hoof it across Portland's busy streets, trying to dodge cars driven by high school students, et al ?

It is true that in the past an occasional stu dent has been expelled for alcohol ism while in Portland for a foot ball game. In that case, however, 1 he violated a state and national law as well as a university rul ing. The automobile ban was in tended to be purely a local ordi nance, and. if the enforcement committee is wise, they will see j to it that Enforcement Officer Rhinesmith confines his sphere of activity to Eugene and its envir ons. We've discovered why we col legiates are still indifferent to the presidential campaign. We’re wait ing for some candidate to put a “federal bonus for college stu dents’’ plank in his platform.
