Men must be at liberty to say in print what ever they hare a mind to say, provided it wrongs no one. —Charles Anderson Dana, -Veto York Sun RECONSTRUCTION DAYS ^lpHERE is neither satisfaction nor glory in step ping on a man when he is down. We must bear tiiis in mind in governing our future attitude towards Oregon State college. In their zeal to promote the Zorn-Macpherson bill, writers in the O. S. O. student newspaper made some rather broad statements statements, which, when broken down, leave them scarcely a leg to stand on in upholding the prestige and reputation of their school. The Barometer printed stories that declared Oregon State college was only "half a school” and that the passing of the consolidation measure was totally necessary to resuscitate the institution from the lethargical state into which it had plunged. The major reason given for this state of chaos was the shifting of the school of commerce to Eugene. But those remarks, and the Zorn-Macpherson bill which inspired them, are things of the past. They are ended forever, and we must regard the period in which the two schools quarreled over the merits of the Zorn measure as an evil but tempo rary hiatus in the progress of higher education in Oregon, an incident that was terminated November 8 by the voters of the commonwealth. Because we are all part of one great educa tional system, it is incumbent upon us to assist Oregon State in whatever rebuilding it finds im perative to its continued success. Rvcn though the Barometer deplorably remarks that the proponents of the bill are expected to start all over again, the mandate of the people notwithstanding, we must be above such unqualified actions. We must regard Oregon State college as a school composed of students like ourselves. All in all, the personnel of the Oregon State student-body is fundamentally identical to our own. It is tradi tional, of course, to refer to the O. S. O. students as "farmers" in our more childish moments (we are "country clubbers" to them in theirs), but in the last analysis, they are flesh and blood people as we are. They have their sorrows, their joys, their troubles, they have homes as we have, and they have parents who are proud of their attain ments, as our parents are proud of ours. Let us regard Oregon State college like that. Let us not think of it in the persons of the selfish, pecuniary-minded individuals who promoted the Zorn bill. At present, the attitude of the O. S. c\ campus newspaper, when it mentions the possibili ties of the vicious measure again being sponsored. Is not all that it might be, but let us hope that its ideas will change in the near future. It is fight ing fire with fire to do otherwise. Dr. Kerr, tho chancellor, has seen what the citi zens of the state think, and we can depend upon ; him to be perfectly impartial in the conducting of his highly important responsibilities. It is unfair to Dr. Kerr to regard him as ever being president of Oregon State. He is the chief executive of all the schools ndw, and we can lest assured he will discharge his duties capably. His task is a diffi cult one. but we hi certain ho is equal to it. The task that lies before him is one of recon struction. The situation is comparable to the days which faced Lincoln after the Civil war. The Great Emancipator’s reconstruction policies were abso lutely impartial. We feel sure Dr. Kerr will follow such an outline in the furtherance of higher edu cation in Oregon. 1918-1982 FOURTEEN years ago today saw the discontin uance of a struggle, which before it was over, had involved the whole world, altered almost be yond recognition the map of Europe, and led to a geographical redistribution of colonial posses sions. The spirit of revolution which followed !n its wake was responsible for the overthrow of gov ernments and the liberation of millions of perse cuted peasants. The arts, writing, painting, music, sculpture were all dec; ly affected by post-war re action. In the fourteen yea: s that have elapsed Armis tice day has gradually become to mean less and iess. A day that once saw cheering, howling, en thusiastic parades is noted now with almost per functory interest. Nor can we weep at the lack of sentimentality displayed by the modern genera tion. There has been a growing suspicion in the minds of a large part of the people that the pres ent financial crisis is the direct result of the great armed conflict. There was not in this war, fine phrase coiners to the contrary, any great moral principle involved. Distrust, suspicion, avaricious and ambitious mer cantilism sacrificed the lives of millions of young men of Europe and America. We can with thanks giving view the end of the massacre, but to con sciously canonize its perpetuation is an attempt at justification of the slaughter. We believe that great historical events should be commemorated, but to declare holidays at the dates of the beginning and ending of every war this country has engaged in would soon so compli cate the calendar that our holidays would out number the business days. Patriotic organizations will undoubtedly pro test our stand and decry the fact that Armistice bay is no longer treated reverently. In reply we would like to point out that neither the close of the Revolutionary war, the War of 1812, the Mexi can war, nor the Spanish-American war provide excuses for closing the banks and the dismissal of schools. . WOMAN’S NEW OUTLOOK THE day is past when a woman comes to col lege for the sole purpose of snaring a husband. Vocational training and intelligent comprehension of world affairs has superseded the once super ficial goal of the college woman's career. Co-eds will have an opportunity to h%ar Harold F. Wendell in an address, "Vocations for Women," at the A. W. S. mass meeting next week. And to make the program even more interesting, Henry Harris will give an illustrated lecture on fashions, and tea will be served all afternoon. Alumni hall should be filled with Oregon co-eds Thursday. THE LAST OF THE OLD GUARD UTJEY, Jack, wait a minute!” -T*- The big football player lengthened his stride. He caught up with the tall young fellow in the shell-rimmed glasses. They fell into stride together. “What’s the dope on Santa Clara, Jack?'' asked the boy. The man looked quizzically at his younger com panion. “They’re tough, boy, they’re tough,” he replied. Then: “How they feeding you at that place of yours?” “Not so good, Jack, not so good.” “Well, you better have dinner with me tonight. You’re looking thin. Must be down to about 200, aren’t you?” The young man in the above episode, a typical one so far he and the football players were con cerned, is John J. O'Brien, “Jack" to every grid iron coach this side of the Appalachian mountains. Universally popular, Oregon's athletes swore by him. Their sole regret in leaving here so early for the Southern California game was that most of them did not have an opportunity to say good bye to Jack O’Brien. For the tall, smiling young Irishman is assistant coach here no more. Because of ill health, he re signed this week and requested that the action take effect immediately. When the football team re turns from Los Angeles, he will be gone. The personnel of the squad knows that, and it was a significant reason for long faces as the Webfoots prepared to face the Trojans. "Jack O’Brien says" was almost gospel to many of the athletes. In difficulties or beset with situa tions they could not handle, they turned to him for advice and counsel. The late Knute Rockne, a great coach, spoke highly of Jack O’Brien. So did Doc Spears, another great football instructor. The Oregon ends, Jack's particular coaching as signees. regretted his resignation as much as any members of the team. They were in a position to i know him, because he spent much of his time with them. Jack O’Brien is a vigorous personality and we congratulate the school with whom he becomes affiliated in the future, if ever his doctors permit him to take an active part in coaching again. There is more to football than carrying a hand iul of pigskin on a field, and John Joseph O’Brien, with his shrewd diagnosis of boys and men. was a dominant personality that many members of the Oregon team ueeded. There’s an old saying: “You can’t fool a boy 01 a dog.” The boys on the Oregon team hated to see Jack O'Brien leave here, and j that speaks volumes for his ability and character. Jack is the last of the "Old Guard" that headed the coaching staff which attained such notable re sults in 1930 and '31. There was himself, there was Bill Reinhart, and there was Doc Spears. O'Brien and Spears are gone now, and Reinhart is | confining his attention to basketball and baseball. Wa wish their successors well in the difficult task they have accomplished so auspiciously to ^ late.

Do you think that we poor j robots who put this sheet out are | going to slave over our typewrit ers while the rest of the campus I holds holiday ? * * * The only person who was very mad about our one-day defection was Louise “Queen" Webber, czar ina of the Associated Women Stu dents, who feared for the financial success of last night’s Dime Crawl, with the usual publicity lacking. We re sorry, too, Louise, for we wanted to headline in this column the warning that if the men didn’t cough up as many dimes last night as the women did in the reversed dime-crawl last spring, then the winter term crawl would be an other "at-home” for the men. If that news had gotten 'round the men would have poured out dimes last night and counted it good in surance. * * * I hereby give notice that I am no longer responsible for any psychic guessing done by Crystal W.

After borrowing the lit tle fellow from his foster-father, Sports-Editor Bruce Hamby, .to help me make predictions on the Oregon election, I have shipped him back to the sports desk with the advice that he confine him self to athletic prognostication and stay out of politics in the future.
