MR. LINCOLN MARCHED TO MUSIC
A PERSON who signs himself Chester E. Flory,
a name which does not appear among the
records of University students, has addressed a
communication to the editor of the Emerald. There
in Mr. Flory quotes one.of the eminent Albert Ein
stein’s outbursts against militarism. Similar notes,
presumably written by the same Mr." Flory, have
been placed at various strategic points on the cam
pus.
The communication opens witli Mr. Einstein’s
quotation. Thereafter follow remarks by Mr. Flory
which imply that he agrees entirely and completely
with his noted contemporary. All of which is very
commendable. That we should have one in our
midst whose ideas coincide so harmoniously with
those of the famous Albert Einstein is indeed grati
fying.
Mr. Flory bases the strength Of his letter on the
fact that he cites so noted a person as Albert Ein
stein. He says: "Thus speaks a great thipker,”
meaning, of course, Mr. Einstein. The fact that
Mr. Einstein derides the actions of such fairly well
known people as Napoleon Bonaparte, Abraham
Lincoln, Julius Caesar, George Washington, Alex
ander Hamilton, Oliver Cromwell, Theodore Roose
velt, and Benito Mussolini is indeed lamentable. It
weakens Mr. Flory s none-too-strong argument.
In part, Mr. Einstein says: “ . . . . The man who
enjoys marching in line and file to the strains of
music falls below my contempt; he received his
great brain by mistake. . . .” Remarks of a simi
lar nature follow until the great scientist reaches
the end of his bristling discourse.
Abraham Lincoln was a young trooper in the
Blackhawk Indian war. Presumably the Great
Emancipator was called upon to march to the air
of martial music. This places him in the class of
men that falls below Mr. Einstein's contempt, and
also (presumably i that of Mr. Flory That Mr. Flory
presumably should hold Abraham Lincoln in con
tempt is too bad. Mr. Lincoln is quite a figure in
this nation's history. So are Hamilton. Washing
ton, Lee, Davis, Roosevelt (not Franklin, but Theo
dore!, Hayes, Harrison, and others. That Mr. Ein
stein holds them in contempt, and that Mr. Flory
refers on to us Mr. Einstein's advocacy of such
contempt is, as we have repeated, indeed unfor
tunate.
In concluding ms letter, Mr. r lory hsks: n mu
place has the K. O. T. O. on a campus devoted to
‘higher education"."' He also might interrogate:
“What place has football, student government,
dances, social affairs, music, clubs and publications
on a 'campus devoted to higher education' ?'" Cer
tainly they are as much connected with higher
education as it. O. T. C., so long as our country
maintains an active army.
Mr. Flory would be far more logical if lie asked:
"Why war? Why armies?"
We do not necessarily advocate the continuance
of military training. We merely advise him to at
tack militarism at its crux, and not at one of its
many ramifications, the campus K. O. T. C. units.
It also is to be wondered if Mr. Flory took into
consideration Mr. Einstein's early life when he
quoted the latter's passage against militarism. The
following is from a brief biography of the famous
scientist: "... The rough methods and self
opinionated tone of his teachers, who for the most
part had the military attitude of non-commissioned
officers, irked his spirit. . .
Thus, as a boy, Einstein was biased against the
men who march for their country. Early prejudices,
often little better than snap judgment, are difficult
to sway.
COL. HAYWARD STEPS ON THE GAS
TT IS a grand and wonderful sight to see Colonel
William L. Hayward, may his tribe increase,
dash out from the sidelines to the aid of a stricken
Oregon athlete. His vividly-colored necktie trail
ing out behind him like the headband of a Roman
charioteer, the Colonel moves to the rescue as
speedily as some of the boys themselves move with
the football.
Not soon forgotten v, ill be an incident at Port
land three weeks ago. Bill Morgan had been in
jured when he dived for a Washington fumble, and
Colonel Hayward went i ito high gear as he raced
onto the field to give aid to the motionless player.
A spectacled sports writer, high in the press-box,
peared through his glasses at the galloping Hay
ward.
“Say, fellows,” he called. “They’re sending in
a 10-second man to replace Morgan. See if you
can get his number.”
It was indeed a surprised reporter who found
that the individual moving so rapidly below was
the well-known and highly respected Colonel Hay
ward, and not a blithe triple-threat halfback.
Colonel Bill Hayward is a tradition here. For
more than 29 years he has served Oregon athletic
teams, and each year finds his popularity on ttie
rise. No pernicious comment ever derides him; al
ways is he liked; never is he in disfavor. Every
time he races onto the field with the water bucket
and smelling-salts, at least one Oregon grad says
proudly, "Here comes Colonel Bill Hayward!”
This winter Colonel Hayward will have com
pleted three decades of service here. Appropriate
to the occasion would be a campus-wide celebration,
open to all Oregon alumni and ex-students. The
Emerald is willing to assist in any such project,
To those in charge, we address a message—“Get
busy!”
WRITE ’EM SHORT
NEWSPAPER apace always is at a premium.
To date the Emerald has received numerous
letters, but the majority of them have been from
500 to 1,000 words in length. Because of space
limitations, especially now in the heat of the elec
tion and football campaigns, the communications
should not exceed 500 words in length. All pre
vious statements as to the length of letters are
hereby summarily retracted. They should be as
short as possible.
Mr. Flory’s letter elsewhere on this page, under
the “Safety Valve’’ heading, is a good example.
Remember—the briefer your communication, the
better its chance of being published.
IL DUCE ON HERTS
PREMIER BENITO MUSSOLINI, at a celebra
tion of the 10th anniversary of fascism Sunday,
made a plea for cancellation or reduction of the
war debts owed to the United States. Whether his
plea will receive much attention right in the cen
ter of a national election is doubtful. On the other
hand, one of the candidates may take it as a cue
for making a statement of his policy as to debts.
There are two ways of looking at the war debt
problem: That of the theorist who looks at the con
ditions under which the loans were made and that
of the practical man who looks at the opportunities
for collection.
Some of the idealists who consider that the
United States went into the war to win it for
French and Italian irridentists who had as big a
part in causing the war as the Germans, if not
more, believe that the French and Italians should
pay their obligations. Others of the same group
feel that since the United States let themselves in
for a war to aggrandize the Triple Entente and its
allies, this country should continue its big-hearted
ness and cancel the debts.
Other supporters of cancellation or reduction are
those who hold that the debts should be used as a
rod to bring certain of the nations into line in the
disarmament conference next February. The idea
is that before the conference agreements should be
j made with France and the other nations owing the
United States money providing that if they meet
j this country half way in carrying out disarmament,
! the debts will be reduced or cancelled.
This idea looks good. If Uncle Sam is going to
i continue to play Dutch uncle for Europe, he should
j get something out of it. The easiest way to gain
by cancelling or reducing debts is to cut appropria
tions for armaments at the same time that Euro
pean nations cut their military expenditures.
Disarmament can be carried out safely only
j through mutual action of all of the powers. If any
j power refuses to co-operate, what instrument could
be used to better advantage than the war debts.
Mussolini predicted that the conference will be a
j failure. He cited that France has refused Germany
parity of armaments. He held this would force
j Germany out of the league, should it occur again.
Germany would undoubtedly be satisfied, for the
present, with reduction of arms on the part of the
allies, as prow led in the peace treaty. The United
States, Italy, and several of the others of the for
mer allies hi ve been in favor of reduction. It is
believed that those holding out could be brought in
to line should the United States use the “big stick"
of war debts.
There are those in this country who believe that
' using the debts as a "big stick" would be better
than the dilly-dallying of the past with the result
that they may never be collected, cancelled or re
\ duped, but just written off the books.
As a further step in the reorganization of the
I conservatory of music at Rollins college, members
of the conservatory faculty have been appointed to
titles of academic rank for the first time in the
history of the department.

ITPHE SATINY black top of
-*• Kappa Alpha Theta’s Chicker
! ing grand-piano has acquired
three new dents. All of them
were caused by the 17-year-old
I sorority scholarship loving cup,
which for the past week has stood
unsteadily on the satiny black top
of Kappa Alpha Theta’s Chicker
ing grand-piano.
# * *
Chi Omega got its name on the
cup by buying it and putting it in
\ circulation back in 1915. So far
it has not appeared on the re
verse side, among the list of win
ners. Alpha Chi Omega has the
most repeats, with six notches to
its credit. They broke into the
win-column for the first time in
1919, and rang the bell for four
straight years. After a four-year
lapse from grace they came back
again for two more wins between
’27 and ’29. Since then their new
house has been all the rushing as
1 set they need.
* * *
The Pi Phi’s won the cup the
I first two years it was up.
They've been resting on their lau
rels for the past 15 years. Delta
Gamma had it between 1917 and
1919, but when the boys came
back from the war they lost in
terest in scholarship. Well, wait
till the next war!
* * *
Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha
Gamma Delta, and Sigma Beta
Phi (?), had it once each. The
Sigma Kappa's just lost it to the
Theta’s after having it two sea
1 sops. After twy or three years
there will be no more room for
winner’s names, so the Chi Omega
, cup will be pensioned off and re
turned to the donors. But Burt
Brown Barker put the larger
“Vice-President’s Cup" into circu
lation three years ago. It should
last for a quarter century if the

Did you ever try to find out the

I’ve been able to pull from those
who ought to know what’s going
on is that ’» the property owners
living along the race had it done
to beautify the stream.” Did you
say “beautify” ?
* * *
When the mill-race intake had
its face lifted last summer, the
way was cleared for canoes to go
direct from the race into the river
above the rapids. Immediately all
the shrubbery on the river bank
was cut out for a half mile above
the dam. Funny, isn't it, that
nobody ever thought of “beautify
ing" that stretch before?

shrubbery around the “Pioneer”

squirrels and field-mice. Back of

cupola of ivy. Away with it! In

jder it! Nothing must stand in the
road of beautification.

Last night I called one of the

'about the situation. What he said
was far from flattering, but here
it is: “The girls are delightful (Oh.

and he says that it looks worse.

(AP)—To what extent demo
cratic activities in Pennsylvania
represent any real hope of carry

1 guard republicanism in November
it would be hard to say.
On the face of the record the
idea of raiding a state still filled
with memories of the days of Bo
ies Penrose and where the influ

is felt might appear fanciful.
Within the memory of man
Pennsylvania has never faltered in
republican regularity but once. It
did flop to Theodore Roosevelt in
the three-way fight of 1912.
And that 20-year-old fact no
doubt is what dictated democratic

Pennsylvania.
* * *
If there is a man in public life
today qualified to speak from ex
perience about holding lightly the
ties of party regularity, that man
is Norris.
Nobody remembers a time when
he was completely regular. And if
there is a large state which has
a better record for republican
regularity than Pennsylvania, the
books do not show it.
Offhand, Norris might appear
the last man to “sic’1 on Pennsyl
vania.
Drafting Norris, however, is
more understandable when it is re
called that the state ran up some
444,000 votes for Theodore Roose
velt in 1912 against 395,000 for
Wilson and 273,000 for Taft; that
Norris was an original Roosevelt
man that year and that he was
the original republican irregular
to call for "another Roosevelt"
this year.
As the senator himself said in
his address, Governor Roosevelt
can carry Pennsylvania only if
enough old line republicans vote
for him to do the trick. There are
not and never have been enough
democrats and independents com
bined in the state to accomplish it.
The Norris address served as an
introduction for Governor Roose
velt's own campaign swing into
Pennsylvania. In the early days
of the 1928 campaign in which he
figured so largely as convention
manager of the Smith nomination
boom, Roosevelt had a notion that
a Pennsylvania miracle might
happen.
It didn't. President Hoover got
the state by about a million votes,
the biggest of all Pennsylvania re
publican majorities. Yet Mr.
Roosevelt was back again in his
own interest this year, hammering
at that citadel of republicanism.
What is he doing to provide a
probably vitally necessary repub
lican majority from Philadelphia

Students,” “The Academic For
eign Bureau” of Hamburg, Ger
many, “The Institute of Interna
tional Education,” “The American
International College,” “The Ital
ian University Organization” and
numerous similar societies are
helping students the world over
to form friendly relations.
Then, of course, there is the well
established movement in the line
of traveling scholarships, student
exchanges and other like organi
z a t i o n s. Societies have been
formed in some countries for the
purpose of meeting, welcoming
and entertaining student visitors.
The practice is now being carried
on even among boys from elemen
tary schools—and successfully,
too. Indeed, much might be writ
ten on this ever-growing move
ment among students whose every
step is toward international fra
ternity and good feeling.
Despite wars, tariff barriers, in
ternational complications which
may arise, there is among the
brotherhood of students who en
joy one another’s hospitality a
mounting good will, a reaching out
of “hands across the sea." With
the growth of cultural relations
between nations, this reciprocity
will continue to increase. Indeed,
this is ope of the more effective
means through which a true in
ternationality of feeling may be
obtained.
It is the youth of the world who
have most to gain from true in
ternationalism. Through their in
numerable societies and institu
tions there should result among
scholars a unity of feeling which
will reach out and imbue other cit
izens of the nations with this
broader outlook—an outlook which
must be a fundamental factor in
dissolving international strife and
misunderstanding.—Christian Sci
ence Monitor.
One Patient in Infirmary
The number of students in the
infirmary has fallen to such a low
level that the nurses are spending
their time in assisting the cook.
Only one person, Dorothy Sin
nett, is now enjoying the advan
tage of having three cooks on the
job.
