The Emerald's Program for Oregon
THESE are the constructive developments which the Emerald
hopes to inntitute and helji maintain at the University
of Oreaon:
1. Advance educational Ideals.
2. Promote Intellectual achievements.
3. Reorganize the student government structure.
(a) Establish a student parliament In an advisory capacity,
(b) Establish a faculty legislative committee.
<1. Advocate n well-balanced athletic program.
8. Promote minor sports.
8. Subordinate extra-curfieular activities to academic attain
ments.
7. Maintain the Emerald on its present status as a representa
tive college da’ly.
The American people cannot be too careful in
guarding the freedom of speech and of the press
against curtailment as to the discussipn of public
affairs and the character and conduct' of public
men. —Carl Schurz.
THE DARK AGES OF ’33
SOME of o\ir eminent law-makers are doing their
utmost to revive the dark ages. Yesterday
there arrived from Salem dispatches stating that
the ways and means committee of the legislature
had recommended that Chancellor Kerr's salary be
. reduced 50 per cent. In the same story it also was
declared that the national guard appropriations
were to sustain a tremendous reduction of $12,554,
the budget tot the state’s private army being cut
from $198,937 way down to $186,383.
It does seem a bitter shame that the national
guard will lose $12,554. This deplorable fact ap
pears even more tragic when one realizes that the
higher educational system has suffered a cut of
only $1,107,000. This probably will mean that the
guardsmen at their annual vacation at Fort Stevens
this summer, where they inhale the salt air for
two weeks at the state's expense, will have to go
easy on the shells and ammunition they shoot out
to sea at imaginary targets. What a pity tHis is!
And just think the guard could play with just as
much ammunition as ever if only a couple of more
college professors were fired!
But the legislature is going to fix everything.
It is going to try to cut the chancellor's salary in
half. It is going to ask the man who holds supreme
command over the state's educational institutions
to work for $6,000. Why, at $12,000, he actually
was receiving more money than some of the na
tional guard generals.
Senator Woodward even had the audacity to
suggest that the national guard reductions were not
in line with those sustained by other departments
and that the militia's appropriation should be cut
to $150,000. (We do not know Senator Woodward
personally, but, we would like to shake his hand.)
Historians say that the dark ages was that
period prior to the revival of learning, when armed
men rode about lawlessly and conflict was at a
maximum and intelligence at a minimum.
Now the ways and means committee recom
mends cutting the salary of the chief of higher
education in half, and knocks 12,554 whole dollars
off the national guard's appropriations.
We hope the historians were right when they
said the durk ages were past.
SACKIFUK HOI KS, KATHK'K THAN KOOKS
'"INHERE lias been some criticism come to our ears
recently directed at the reserve libraries for
closing on Friday and Saturday afternoons at 5
o’clock The protest lias been a mild one and from
students who least need such week-end study. But
anxious to protect the interests of those who do
not take part in the moderate whoopie that goes
on each week-end, we decided to do something
about it.
So we called up M. H. Douglass, librarian, to
find out exactly why it was necessary to make
such curtailment in library hours. He informs us
that, only a few students were taking advantage of
Friday and Saturday nights rot- study, and that the
pro-ratio cost of keeping open for these tew w,»s
entirely too high.
Under the present arrangement, the reserve lio
raries are open Monday to Thursday from 7:45 -t
in. to 10.00 p m. Friday and Saturday from 7.lb
a. m. to 5:00 p. m. and on Sundays from 3:00 to
9:00 p. m. This totals 81V2 hours a week that the
reserve libraries are open, or a little more than 11
hours a day on the average. This seems to be a
.long enough time to permit even the most ambitious
student to prepare his weekly lessons.
Since the slashing of the budget makes general
retrenchment necessary, we feel that economy of
this nature Is more desirable than cuts in the lib
rary facilities proper. The library could possibly
be kept open if less money was spent on new books
and periodicals, but reduction of the amount spent
on these items would be very unfortunate.
Already budget slashes have made necessary the
discontinuance of many little used items, and a
large reduction in the amount spent for current
books. Since the library is the very foundation
of any university, the Emerald would favor the
further cutting of hours, if such was found neces
sary, for the continuance of the high standard of
the Oregon library.
WE SALl TE MB. REINHART ANIJ HIS TEAM
QPORTS for sports' sake at last has been achieved
^ at Oregon, and one cannot help but admire
Billy Reinhart for the manner in which the long
sought Utopia was attained.
No longer does basketball receive the appropria
tions it used to. It now functions for an entire
season on approximately half as much money as it
obtained three years ago. The players travel as
do other mortals in this day and age in tourist
cars. Nor do they care that the pullmans in which
the football men ride are closed to them.
They play with old basketballs, balls that are
inflated and deflated before and after each prac
tice to keep them from bursting their seams. They
are wearing old jerseys. The sweaters which they
wear were purchased by the coach, out of a salary
thac already has sustained a healthy reduction.
Yet, there is not one word of complaint from
the players. There is even less from the coach.
They go about their business Just as they did in
the old days. The boys are loyal to Bill Reinhart
and he is equally as loyal to them. Oregon's men
are smaller than those of any other conference
school. But their courage is as great and their
spirit is greater.
The University’s basketball team may lose many
games this year, some of them by mountainous
scores, but its morale never will fail. For Oregon’s
basketball team is built on a sound foundation and
it is coached by a man who makes a business of
understanding boys. He does not mind riding in
tourist cars with his players and they do not mind
eating 25 cent meals with him.
Long have we sought for sports for sports’ sake,
and it appears as if Billy Reinhart, by his splendid
cooperation and fine knowledge of boys and basket
ball, had achieved the Utopia.
MIND ABOVE MATTER
TAR. ALEXANDER MEIKLEJOHN, a profound
thinker and scholar, has declared the univer
sity should be a place of the mind, and not a train
ing school, as it is at present. The latter part of
his statement is open to controversy, but there is
no denying the veracity of the introduction to his
| remark.
I Dr. Meiklejohn says thinking should be stimu
lated for two reasons. “First, it is pleasant. Sec
ond, it gives insight and perspective.’’ How true he
is. The real thinker is so in the minority today
that those who associate with him realize a vicari
ous pleasure from his opinions and ideas.
Long a foe of technical training in universities,
Dr. Meiklejohn frequently has declared that speci
alization is an enemy of education. Ami he is
right. We must make a college degree a reward
for intelligence and not for durability. Let tech
nical courses be confined to schools for that pur
pose. A university must be an institution where
people are encouraged to think. The world today
needs thought and it looks to its universities to sup
ply the demand.
We heartily agree with a prediction made sev
eral years ago by Glenn Frank, and look forward
to the eventful time when it will come true. Per
haps our grandchildren will reap its benefits—
“I believe that the curriculum as we know it
must go. A hundred years from now 1 suspect that
little will be left of the rigidly departmentalized
college that teaches a variety of separate studies.”
Henry Sehaldach, California gridiron hero, has
decided to forsake professional football for a career
in law. What's the world coming to, anyway?
Doesn't a man's education get him anywhere?
The average child in United States public schools
received 10.8 days more instruction in 1030 than
did a child in 1920.
North Carolina has improved approximately
5,000 miles of highways in the past 18 months.

On Other Campuses
Student Subsidy
'T'HERE is at present in operation in Germai v a
type of student subsidy which seems very ci ri
. ous to those who are familiar with the English
I and American types of universities.
In short, under this system a needy student
receives free tuition at the state universities, and
| m addition lie is eligible for appreciable discount at
the student restaurants. The basis of this system
is the opinion prevalent in Germany that as many
I people as possible should be educated. To this end.
j lhe various states spend large sums in the educa
I Hon of poorer students who without assistance
could not possibly attend at the universities.
The English system of university training re
| serves the rights of education to the "best stu
dents," referring to both a high intellectual stan
| 'lard and financial independence during their at
| tendance at the various colleges. To expand the
German system into England would be a task
| burdened with almost insurmountable difficulties.
It is applicable, however, to the American type of
higher education which the Canadian universities
in general follow.
Expansion cl' this type in the Canadian univer
sities would be especially beneficial to a young
| country such as we live m. Every force possible

This is one of a fcrics of articles to which outstanding members of
Oregon's higher educational system arc contributing. Another will be
published in the next issue of the fibitrald.
By DONALD M. ERB
(Professor of Economics)
A T such a time as this, the world
is treated to the gratuitous
prescriptions of a whole horde of
voluntary diagnosticians. When a
person is ailing, he may receive
the unsolicited advice of well
meaning friends who tell him what
the family did for brother Zeke or
sister Carrie when they felt some
what the same way and how Zeke
and Carrie responded to the treat
ment. But when an ailing person
develops a fever of 104 or lapses
into coma or goes into convulsions
or develops other alarming and
perplexing symptoms, the ama
teur and free advice is likely to
stop, and a known expert is called
in. Moreover, long before this, the
patient has probably sought out
the respected expert on his own
initiative and acted with more or
less promptness on his recommen
dations. And it is also true that
we do not assume that an expert
bridge builder is a qualified can
cer specialist, nor a wizard at
electricity a sure solver of digest
ive difficulties, nor a renowned
banker a genius at perking up the
ductless glands. In other words,
! when our bodies get out of fix, we
: usually go to a man in whom we
j have confidence as a fixer of bod
; ies and not to someone else, no
j matter how skillful he may be, who
is best at fixing rediscount rates or

quacks. During what were then
regarded as the very hard times
of 1920 to 1923. (what a corrective
i is perspective), there was a del
uge of quack remedies ranging
| from Mr. Ford's and Mr. Edison's
monetary nostrums to the Ford
ney-MeCumber tariff. Now we
have tiie eminent Idaho squire, Mr.
• Borah, preaching free silver andj
1933 Bryanism, with offstage |
noises of enthusiasm furnished by j
; the Nevada and Utah and other
senators who have large silver in
terests. Mr. Patman wants flat j
money to pay the soldiers' bonus, |
1 there are proposals for more cur- j
rency inflation to pay unemploy-'
mcnt relief, some want credit or j
1 currency inflation as a general
stimulant even thoug. like many
.stimulants, it is habit forming.
And. of course, we have the Tech
nocrats.
* * «
At most technocracy is half
true. Although Mr. Scott and his
associates have been accused of
inaccuracy and rashness in their,
figures on technological unemploy
ment they have served to drama
tize a development which is of
g r e at social importance even
though it is at least one hundred
and fifty years old. With an ad
vancing state of industrial meth
od" ■ nv.l machine invcu'iou. . the I
di placement and continual slnft
ing of man power becomes a per
manent problem of great social
seriousness. The technocrats talk
as though the men displaced by a
machine would never find any jobs
anywhere, unless perhaps part
time jobs, and that is not true in
most cases; but that an unem
ployed group, not necessarily com
posed of the same individuals all
of the time, is now a permanent
part of our industrial picture is
undoubtedly true and something
should be done to save that group
from being victimized.
When the technocrats enter the
field of value and price, however,
they take on the characteristics of
the quack. They attack the gold
standard because of its instability,
the value of a monetary unit of
gold varying inversely to the gen
eral price level, and then propose
a substitute which would be infin
itely less stable. They have even
said they would abolish money al
together, but that is nonsense in
asmuch as they specifically in
vent a new money to be known as
"energy units.” Prices, then,
would be given in terms of energy
units. And what are these energy
units ? They are hybrid units
composed of ergs, B. T. U.’s, kil
owatt hours, and so on, all reduced
by some common denominator to a
universally applicable form. But
the technocrats do not presuppose
a static condition of the mechani
cal arts; in fact, they look for in
vention and labor replacement to
go on at an accelerating rate, so
that clearly the meaning of an en
ergy unit for purposes of exchange,
value, and price would be an un
stable thing. Further, if prices
were fixed in terms of energy
units, the demand factor in value
determination would be neglected
entirely. What things are worth
depends quite as much on how
badly people want them as on how
much it costs to produce them. If
a technocrat dictatorship should
be established and prices in energy
units should be true, with penal
ties for offering or taking more or
less than the fixed price and all
»
that sort of thing, either there
would follow the most elaborate
system of bootlegging, and wink
ing by officials, that the world has
ever seen, or else there would be
a revolution.
V *i* , »l'
Why do we listen to such quack
ery? First, ills of the social body
are impossible to study in con
trolled isolation. Further, there
has been so much1 talk of econom
ics being just, common sense that
all the emphasis has come to be
placed on the common phase and
none on the sense. Among other
reasons is the unfortunate fact
that many of the men who are our
nearest approach to recognized ex
perts in the field of social ills have
disagreed bitterly among them
selves, and some of the more pub
licized of them have had their pre
scriptions and diagnoses exposed
as wrong. They have sounded
quite like a group of medicos or
psychiatrists at a murder trial in
which insanity is urged as a de
fense.

Contemporary Opinion
The Family Doctor
1 \R. BERNARD Sachs, who be
came president of the Now
York Academy of Medicine on
Thursday evening, took that occa
sion to file a protest against the
passion for specialization in medi
cine which will have the indorse
ment of every intelligent layman.
Dr. Sachs deplored the general
practitioner's development in re
cent years of something like an
inferiority complex and said: "The
general medical diagnostician, the
man with broad vision, with calm
judgment, with the human touch
the family physician—with the
full appreciation of the needs of
the individual under the present
strain of social and economic
stress, is sorely needed,"
"Changes in medical practice,”
says the Lowell report on medical
education, “have not and can not
modify the essential unit of medi
cal service and training, which is
the patient." And therefore un
duly sensitive human being who
is not only under inspection.
a ■uatch or a boiler might
be, but who has '.he doctor under
as close and critical examination
as the doctor has him. What the
head of a family wants of a
doctor is a thoroughly trust
worthy friend who will take
the members of the family under
his unremitting care when they
need it, and not an expert inspec
tor who will refer each of their
separate ailments to a different
high-priced stranger for imper
sonal treatment.
Forty per cent of the graduates
of medical colleges now become
specialists, and half of these have
no experience in general medical
practice. The reason for this, as
the Lowell report points out, is
that specialization is easier an 1
more profitable. Such views as
Dr. Sachs has expressed have the
support of all the leading medical
organizations in the country; but
it is the laity that has to convince
the family doctor that these are
its sentiments if the propaganda
for impersonal medical care is to
be silenced and if the best men
are to be attracted to general
practice.—New York Heiald-Tn

exemplifies the loveliest of this
type. * * *
In tanning the skin, the sun adds
a lot of yellow. Most women use
a darker powder than they are
tan, but never think of adding the
corresponding quota of yellow.
* * *
You have often heard of the bru
nette with an olive skin. Analyze
the term "olive,” and it means
"green." The typical Latin has
this complexion with the greenish j
cast, which can be startlingly exot- I
ic, as in the case of Sally Roul
stone, when complemented with
deep wine red lipstick and rouge
containing lots of blue.
* * *
Then there is the brunette with j
the golden skin, such as Mary Jean j
Warner's, similar to that of the
blonde, only darker. She should
wear cosmetics that verge on fla
mingo ... a bright red slightly
shaded with yellow.
* * *
A creamy skin, like Anne
Frank's, contains a small amount
of yellow, but such a small amount
as to be negligible. This type
should use pink make-up that is
slightly diffused with rose.
The brunette who has a creamy
skin like Janet Howard’s exactly
matching rachel powder takes a
clear red.
* * *
Rose is for a pink and white
skin like Anne Housnell’s, while a
deeper rose (which means more
blue) is for the highly colored out
door type like Eleanor Barker.
The cream-white Irish type, as
seen in Mrs. Frank Kistner, takes
a brighter pastel edition of this
same rose.
A cosmetic expert can almost
tell a locale by the type or amount
of make-up worn by the inhabi
tants. Ohe author writes: “If you

By JOHN SELBY
4 S a rule travel books may be
taken or let alone, 'even by
comparatively avid arm-chair tour
ists. But it would not be difficult
to develop a major enthusiasm for
Cornelia Stratton Parker's “Ger
man Summer.”
Mrs. Parker confesses 45 years.
Her daughter June is (or was) 15.
The two saw a German faltboot
(folding boat) and didn’t come to
earth for several hundred delight
ful pages. Happily, those who read
about the paddlings of the Par
kers won't come to earth either,
until the end of “German Sum
mer.”
The idea of the faltboot is gay—■
thousands of young Germans of
' both sexes, chiefly clad in swim
; ming apparel, sailing the summer
through in tiny (but substantial)
boats that may be taken apart and
wheeled along like a baby carriage.
All summer the double-ended pad
dles flash throughout Teutonic
Europe; from a high bridge the
passing of faltboots look like bee
tles with bright, silver-plated legs.
Mrs. Parker writes gayly of
what they paddled by. She cares
more for untouristed inns than for
palaces, she has no false pride, and
many amusing prejudices.
Down the Danube, the Lahn,
the Weser, the Drau and some oth
ers, the reader goes. He lives like
a young German; indeed, he almost
feels as if he had had the exercise!
* * *
Helen Worden's "The Real New
York” is only a fifth cousin to
“German Summer," but there is a
relationship after all. "The Real
New York" is a guidebook to "in
side New York”—from it you can
learn where to buy Greek candies
and where to get your hair cut;
where Little Turkey (and all the
other "Littles") may be found;
who sells olives in garlic, who puts
monograms on your pajamas, and
where the salesrooms are with the
uncensored French records.
Miss Worden's book might have
een a terrific bore had she tried
to be clever in every item. And she
didn't although she is by no means
dull. The idea is simply to jam a
great deal of information about
New York into a book that is in
tended as a mine of information
instead of entertainment.
Two or three things are espe
cially intelligent. The eating plac

There have been many books on
China this year, novels as well as
“serious" works, and J. p. o.
Bland, with "China, the Pity of

of this country.
His viewpoint is that of the cul
tivated Briton, and his book has
one thing many others lack, be
cause it is one of the few that ar
rives at a definite conclusion.
Mr. Bland believes only a social
reorganization will give permanent
aid to China, and that the most im

divergent far eastern policies and
interests of the United States and
Japan."
