The American people cannot be too careful in guarding the freedom of speech and of the press against curtailment us to the discussion of public affairs and the character and conduct of public men. —Carl Schttrs. RADICALS AS REALISTS ONE OF our few public men who has had the courage to define radicalism from an unbiased prospective is Glenn Frank, president of the Uni versity of Wisconsin and one of the nation's out standing educators and writers. He says: "The true radical is simply a realist. He refuses to be cowed by a catchword. He resists the tyranny of tradition. He refuses to allow the crust of custom to form over his mind. He declines to be the slave of slogans. He is not awed by the mere age of a pdlicy. He is more- interested in truth than in tradition. . . . The true radical is simply the man who insists upon going to the root of the matter before him." Particularly through the efforts of political charlatans who pose as statesmen, radicalism has come to be a shibboleth which a considerable por tion of our citizenry construes as being the oppo site of patriotism. Everywhere you will find per sons to whom radicalism is synonymous to immedi ate and awful peril to the United States govern ment. Our colleges and universities have suffered irreparable damage with the masses of the popu lation because tney have been pictured by arm waving reactionaries as "hot-beds of radicalism.' Many a butcher, baker and candle-stick-maker re gards college as a place where his son will be taught to be a "dangerous radical.” Perhaps no word in our language has been more abused and misinterpreted than "radical.” A radi cal generally is imagined as one who plots the downfall of his government or other establishec factions. Since time immemorial, great men, all of whom were radicals, according to Glenn Frank's clear defi nition. have been vilified and cast off by the masses Christopher Columbus was more interested in truth than tradition. Against the laughs e)f a continent he discovered a new and greater continent. The progressive thinkers as William E. Borah, Sir Henrj Norman Angell, and Charles A. Beard, forget that slightly more than two centuries ago it is not un likely that British tories were referring as radical. to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben jamin Franklin. We either must change our attitude towards radicalism or alter our interpretation of the terra Because a man thinks in other than the acceptec channels of conventionality, he should not be re garded as a "radical," unless, of course, we car learn to consider radicals as Glenn Frank says the> should be considered "... realists, who resist tin tyranny of tradition." Until the American people advance to that point where they can distinguish radicalism us contrastcc to anarchism, bolshevism, and communism, democ racy in this country will be partially hamstrung One is a form of thought and action that is Uu forerunner of progress. The others are definite plans of government and distribution, us opposed ti the present system in the United States. A political charlatan, who bellows to please strong minorities and talks in circumventing plati tudes about the Monroe doctrine, gains high favoi with the masses today, but a progressive thinker who pleads for tolerance and internationalism anti is fearless in his declarations, gets merely epithet> and scorn. The national Scabbard and Blade magazine re cently listed Senator William E. Borah, among others, as one detrimental to American welfare. Yet the people of the great state of Idaho consis tently have returned Mr. Borah to the senate chambers. That is encouraging. OI K MODERN HEROES REFORMER turned literary critic is Dr. John H. Willey, president of the Lord's Duy alli ance. He mourns for a swashbuckling hero and deprecates the characters that run through the pages of contemporary literature. He deplores the lover who excells in a boudoir instead of on the field of honor and looks with horror upon such theatrical performers as Rudy Vallee and Bing Crosby. Although wc realize that the majority of the nation's collegians think in an exactly opposite direction as Dr. Willey, we take considerable pleasure in agreeing with the gentleman. We, too, long for such characters as D’Artagnan, Captain Amyas Leigh, Ivanhoe, and even “Hopalong” Cas- 1 sidy. The milk-toast heroes of present-day fiction j find no favor in our eyes. The story of the dashing young fellow who was the best-dressed man at Loafers’ college, captivated all the co-eds, excelled on the dance floors and I later married the daughter of the president of the i town's biggest department store is neither so pleas ing nor so interesting to us as the country boy who became a two-gun man, joined the Northwest mounted police, and saved the trapper’s beautiful French daughter at the 11th hour, just when all seemed lost. But there also is a serious side to it all. The whole business of heroes, claims Dr. Willey, is mere ly further evidence of the “crumbling of founda tions.” Perhaps he is right. Today the high school boy and girl reads sexy stories, screaming with prurient details. In the long ago they dreamed of Athos and D’Artagnan, of Robinson Crusoe, and Baron Munchausen. Certainly a diference exists. That much has Dr. Willey proved. STUDENT-PROFESSOR RELATIONS THE FIRST of the term brings its usual crop of good resolutions, including “I’m going to really study this term” and “More libe and less College Side” and so on, far into the night. One resolution that few students make and even fewer keep is “know my professors.” This isn't the classroom acquaintance that exists be tween all teachers and their students, nor is it the apple-polishing relation that consists mostly of “Oh, professor, I think this subject is simply fas cinating; I mean, really, it’s my favorite course,” etc., etc. It is a real friendship whicSi grows between one who knows a lot and one who doesn’t know so much but wants to learn. It is almost the old i "master-protege” type of relationship although not quite as intimate. And most of all, it is a connec tion that benefits both professor and student. The professor gets first hand information on what his students don't know and what they have difficulty in understanding; the student comes in close con tact with brilliant, well-educated minds. He forms friendships that may last much longer than his matriculation with the institution. And he gets better grades, not because he handshakes, but be cause he understands his subject and what is ex pected of him. Students who pass up the priceless opportunity of friendship with their professors don’t know what they are missing. Professors who turn cold should ers to sincere advances and eye with suspicion any and all who make these advances shut themselves into a pedantic world that is neither interesting nor human. Why can’t the two get together and enjoy' each other? ABOUT SALARY REDUCTIONS npHE.EMERALD yesterday recommended editori ally that salaries of A. S. U. O. officials be cut on a sliding scale commensurate with the most re cent reductions imposed by the state board of higher education upon the salaries of faculty members. In order to clarify a mistaken impression evi dent in a few corners of the campus, the Emerald wishes to emphasize that the proposed cuts upon A. S. U. O. officials would be no greater than those j imposed upon faculty members. Employees of the A. S. U. O. have already accepted salary reductions on a scale ranging from 5 to .14 per cent, parallel with the first cut upon the faculty. The Emerald's proposal is simply this: to sub stitute the new 9-to-27 per cent reduction for the 0-to-14 per cent reduction which is already in ef fect. A. S. U. O. employees would thus suffer exactly the same reduction as employees of the state system of higher education. j Washington Bystander By KIRKE SIMPSON ASHINGTON, Jan. 11—(AP)—Due to con suming interest "on the hill” in the beer ques tion, one phase of Secretary Mills’ testimony be fore a house committee as to possible revenue to be expected from that source passed unnoticed. Yet in the face of war debt default by France and other nations, what Mr. Mills urged about the necessity of balancing the budget seems to have much significance. "With $6,268,000,000 of fourth, 4', liberty bonds maturing by 1038 and callable in 1933 and with $586,000,000 of first, -11, Liberty bonds now call able," the treasury secretary said, "a refunding operation is desirable, provided bonds offered do not carry an interest rate in excess of that which the high credit of the United States calls for. The success of such an operation would be greatly facili tated by a balanced budget.” Mr. Mills did not amplify this very much, for the benefit of those interested in knowing what tate of interest he believes such refunding issues should carry. Nor did he reveal how much of the total of outstanding Liberty issues is in the hands of ori ginal purchasers, bought at par, and how much in the hands of subsequent purchasers, acquired at de preciated rates. To the latter group the yield must be well above the 4 11 face rate. * * # The revenue phase did not interest the commit-, tee or the press nearly so much, however, as did beer and politics. And being both a former mem ber of the house, schooled in congressional ways, and a man with quite a flair for political cut and thrust. Mills seemed to enjoy his tills with Demo cratic Leader Rainey before the committee. If Mr. Rainey counted on getting anything from Mr. Mills about what President Hoover might do with a beer lull passed up to him by congress he was disappointed. * * IT A bit later came what sounded like a campaign j I echo, the secretary being asked as to his attitude’ toward financing' capital expenditures such as pub lic works, new warcraft and whatnot, through long term bond issues. That is an idea President-elect Roosevelt is said to be studying "It would pile up a mountain of debt to be, passed on to future generations.'' Mills said. "Our present pork-barrel legislation would be nothing to !it;‘ - IWebfoot Leaders By KEN FERGUSON ! i A Message to Garcia By CARLTON E. SPENCER Professor of Law MODERN trend in educational policy in institutions of higher learning is in the direction of granting student self-government so far as the students desire it and so far as they are willing and capable of making it effective. Students should be allowed, aS a part of their training, to run their own affairs, even at the cost of efficiency. In a voluntary organ ization, such as a student body, no higher authority should dictate such internal matters as constitu tion and by-laws or qualifications for membership or for office. This does not mean, however, that in dividual students may not be de-* prived of participation in this or any other activity, where it rea sonably appears that such partici pation is likely to interfere with the individual's scholastic success. University faculty and officers arc charged with the responsibility of fixing and maintaining stand ards of scholarship and behavior. How far can they go in imposing regulations upon students? That is a question constantly arising even in the more liberal institu tions. In other words, when, if at all, is there an appeal from school authorities ? A categorical answer to that question will not help us much. It is simply that the courts will grant redress where the au thorities have acted unreasonably. * # * It is obvious that the test of reasonableness may vary with the social point of view. School offi cials are vested with discretionary power. They are supposed to be expert in their field. Whether the rules or regulations are wise or their aims worthy is a matter left solely to their discretion. The courts will not ask, “Do WE think the rules are wise," but rather, “Could reasonable men acting with discretion, with fairness and with out arbitrariness, conclude that they are for the best interests of the school?” Approximately once a year, some student fUjhts his case through an appellate court. Usually the cases involve dismissal for misconduct. One of the more recent cases, how ever, involved scholarship only. The student's contention was that the university “being established and supported by the state, is open to all its citizens, who have the right to continue as students there in so long as their conduct shall not offend against reasonable rules requiring order, decency, and de corum," The court established, however, that something more than good conduct is required. Ability to do satisfactory work is a prerequisite, and the faculty must determine that question. * * * Cases of dismissal for violation of rules offer the widest variety of facual situations. They include prohibitions against hazing, fra ternities, living at a public hotel, and many others. A student may be punished for misconduct, al though no rule has been promul gated in regard to such miscon duct. As to expulsion for miscon duct generally, the courts leave it to the school authorities to deter mine what is best for the welfare of the school, so long as there is no abuse of discretion or arbitrary or unlawful action. Also, the dis missal need not be based on any single specific offense. A series of minor offenses may culminate so .*• to be eon idered m the aggre gate. ‘ It may seem from a review of the adjudicated cases that the law is but little safeguard to the stu dent. Such is not the case, how ever. Officials must act impar tially and without prejudice. All students must be treated alike. There must be reasonable grounds to suppose that the action is linked up with the welfare of the school. The student is entitled to notice, and to a hearing, and he has the privilege of introducing evidence in his own behalf. These requirements undoubtedly stand as a wholesome influence against unwise exercise of power. (Editor’s note: Professor Spen | cer is familiar with a wide va riety of student affairs, having served on the scholarship, discip linary, student affairs, and auto mobile committees.)

M. H. COCHRAN of the Unl versity of Missouri, in an ar icle in the American Mercury, ;ets forth the following causes of var: (1) To get in control at home; 12) to avoid losing control at lome; (3) to turn attention from jnsatisfactory conditions at home; ;4> to enrich themselves at home. In other words, the home is placed entirely upon some group "at home” which is attempting to maintain or increase its power and wealth. But what is there new in that? Not a thing. We have always rec ognized these causes of war. The only trouble with the American people is that they recognize these forces at work in the other coun tries but not in their own. And the only trouble with the other countries is that they are capable of analyzing these forces in the United States but not within their own borders. So it goes through out the whole world. Peoples, through self-interest, either can ■ioi, or wm noi cnecK poweriui po litical groups which lead them to wards war. The War of 1812, the Mexican var and the Spanish-American war were struggles in which—consul ting only the causes—we can take little pride. Our opponents were more guilty than we were, and possibly the results have justified the lack of strict ethics, but the fact remains that the American sentiment which made possible these particular wars spread throughout the nation from some compact and interested group. The border people were partly respon sible in 1812, the South in 1846, and the yellow press had a hand in 1898. Yet even in these cases, we were much put upon by those we finally fought, and it is difficult to see how we could have acted oth erwise, unless, possibly, it was in the controversy with Spain. That country might have acceded to our just demands without resort to arms.—Morning Oregonian.
