There is always the human temptation to forget that the erection of buildings, the formulation of new curricula, the expansion of departments, the crea tion of new functions, and similar routine duties of the administration are but means to an end. There is always a glowing sense of satisfaction in the natural impulse for expansion. This frequently leads to regard ing achievements as ends in themselves, whereas the truth is that these various appearances of growth and achievement can Ik* justified only in so far as they make substantial contribution to the ultimate objec tives of education .... providing adequate spiritual and intellectual training for youth of today—the citi zenship of tomorrow. . . . . The University should he a place where classroom experiences and faculty contacts should stimu late and train youth for the most effective use of all the resources with which nature has endowed them. Dif ficult and challenging problems, typical of the Jif• and world in which they are to live, must be given them to solve. They must be taught under the expert supervision of instructors to approach the solution of these problems in a workmanlike way, with a dis ciplined intellect, with a reasonable command of the techniques that i re involved, with a high sense of in tellectual adventure, and with a genuine devotion to the ideals of intellectual integrity. . . —From the Biennial Report of the University of Oregon for 1931-32. The American people cannot be too careful in guarding the freedom of speech and of the press against curtailment as to the discussion of public affairs and tlw character and conduct of public men. —Carl Schurs. TOO OOOD TO LOSE The state board of education has warned Dr. A. R. Moore that he may not be guaranteed his position at the state college upon his return, if he accepts a recent offer of the Jap anese Imperial university. The offer comes from the Rockefeller foundation for medical research and would necessitate his absence for a period of approximately two years. Even if for purposes of economy, the board’s attitude appears to lack of foresight. The honor bestowed upon Dr. Moore by the Rockefeller foun dation should not only assure his re-employment, but at a greater salary. Few Oregon professors have attained such international recognition. It has been our boast at Oregon, and with a great deal of justification, that we have exponded the money alloted to us by the state board, not on soulless buildings, but upon men; teachers of note who have given to out students the intangible values that are not reflected by million dollar stadi ums. Upon this policy wc have based our claim as a leading educational institution. At Oregon we have many men of outstanding reputation. Some of them are national authorities on special branches of their fields. Some are authors of textbooks in use at many universities and colleges. Others are known because of their professorial ability and the example of their per sonalities. The names of Dr. James H. Gilbert Wayne L. Morse, and George Rebec are known to practically every Oregon student. Their contribu tions are recognized and their positions assured. But there are many others. Many who are not generally known to the student body because of the specialization of their teaching. Off-hand we can think of the names of: Jewel, Sheldon. Erb, Morris, Casteel, Allen, Shinn, Smith, Boyer, Parsons, Turn bull, Stetson, Morrissette, Howe, Conklin, Jameson, and Fish, who are respected by their contempor aries at other colleges, and who have achieved moie than parrot-like pedagogical success. Probably a small university like Oregon, wilii the limitations of state financing based upon the political whims of pork barrel legislation, can no' always retain its better men. We have had con siderablc success in spite of the competition of larger universities. But we have watched with an acute sense of loss the resignation of such outstanding men as Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, Dean David E. Faville, and Dr. Clarence \\. Spears. Possibly no matter what our policy had been, we would have been unable tv> keep them. But we petitioii the State Board ot Education not to make the problem more difficult by discouraging independent and International re search. THE EXACT CHANUKM f to ''HERE seems to be some miseoueeption as to the exact nature of the changes which the Emerald proposes for Oregon's student govern ment. Perhaps that is partially our fault, so we wi4 take this opportunity to clarify any misunder standing that exists. Contrary to the belief of a considerable num ber of students, this paper does not propose to turn over completely the managing of A. is. U. O. atlairs to the faculty. It rather proposes to get the bene fit and advantage of mature aud experienced iae ulty judgment in determining major policies, especi ally those which involve finances. Briefly the Emerald s plnu is tins: 1- A faculty committee with legislative power, on which will sit at least TWO STUDENTS from' the student parliament. 2. A student parliament on which all groups arc represented; this group to have VETO POWER over faculty decisions. 3. Joint committees, composed of BOTH FAC ULTY AND STUDENTS, to investigate special functions, such as athletics, music, etc. 4. The student parliament entirely independent of faculty interference, and no student officer per- \ mitted to be removed from his post without a vote of the student body. Of course, that is the plan rather roughly, and there are numerous changes to be made before it can be submitted to the students. There is this to bear in mind in judging it. At present a majority of the students here are not included prominently in the management of A. S. U. O. affairs. The offices and appointments are in the hands of a select group. A student parliament would give a greater number of students an oppor tunity to participate, and would place a greater premium on ability and competency in qualifying for office. Popularity would cease to be a major requisite, if each parliamentary delegate were chosen by his own living organization or honorary. Generally a man’s friends realize his strong and weak points better than those who’ve been told he’s j a great guy by vociferous campaign managers. Also it would virtually eliminate alumni manage ment in student afairs, a trend that is literally unanimous throughout the nation at present. The details of the new plan have not been worked out completely as yet, but within this term it is hoped that the entire proposal will be in more concrete form. A FRIEND OF OREGON A faithful friend is better than >?oIcl.—Burton. Tiff ORE conclusively than ever before, we of the ■*■*■*■ University and the people of the state can realize the true calibre of the man who headed this school from 1926 to 1932. No one, not even his bitterest enemies, ever can say with impunity that Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall is not one of Oregon’s staunchest allies and supporters. The far-reaching advantage of his loyal cooperation was felt again last week when the Carnegie corporation announced an additional $15,400 donation to this school’s art research fund. It was largely through Dr. Hall's efforts and influence that the grant was obtained. On innumerable occasions in the past Dr. Hall was instrumental in securing foundation gifts ag gregating almost $1,500,000, but none of these more clearly indicate his lofty principles and high ideals than the relatively small donation received last { week. Dr. Hall is no longer a part of Oregon’s educational system. He left this state unheralded and his passing was mourned only by those few who appreciated his sterling qualities. He departed, forgotten and, in a large measure, unthanked. Yet, he still devotes his time and energy to helping this institution. j Oregon did not have to ask Dr. Hall to assist in obtaining the Carnegie corporation grant. He vol unteered his services and performed them quietly and efficiently. The current reluctancy of this state to give higher education adequate support has turned the eyes of the big eastern foundations away from Oregon, so it is not unlikely that it took con siderable endeavor on Dr. Hall's parL to convince the Carnegie people of the advisability of extending the donation at this time. The $15,400 gift is important to Oregon’s art research program, but it will have served a far worthier purpose if the manner in which it was ob tained can convince the people of this common wealth of the capabilities and qualities of Dr. Ar nold Bennett Hall. He was little understood by the citizenry of Oregon. His abstract comment on ideals and principles was a foreign language to the farmer behind the plow und the layman in the street. They desired to hear of higher learning in concrete terms. Yet, one of our highest ambitions is that this state someday will realize the fulfill ment of Arnold Bonnott Hall's educational hopes. When that hour comes, Oregon will be a leader among leaders in the advancement of higher learn ing.

Eugene, Oregon, A Back Number - By KEN FERGUSON I A Message to Garcia This is one of a series uj articles to which outstanding members uj Oregon's higher educational system are contributing. Another will be published in the next issue of the limcrald. By JOHN L. CASTEEL (Head of the Speech Department) t'VEN before the crow of the Technocrats awoke the hen coop to clatter, technical methods promised to give us a larger part of our time for leisure. Possibly we did not expect to find ourselves relieved of both the necessity and the chance for work as many peo ple do now. But we have hoped for less work and more play so that life would be less dull. Our traditional attitudes toward work and leisure have seemed somewhat paradoxical. To work has been virtuous, to enjoy leisure sinful; and yet people have worked hard in the hope of gaining more leisure. The puritanic and the pio neer strains in our heritage may be responsible in part for these at titudes. To be a hard worker in the "early days” elevated a man to a seat of high respect; to be a loafer sometimes elevated him to a seat in the stocks. Now our technical progress (as some call it) seems to be replac ing this paradox of attitudes with another paradox of consequences. Hard work becomes unnecessary, leisure abundant; but we are los ing some of the positive values of hard work, and we are puzzled to know what to do with our leisure time. This change has been accel erated through the intrusion of the machine into both the fields of work and of recreation. The machine does our work; it comes near to doing much our play. In botli spheres we seem more and more superfluous except as con sumers. We must eat, wear, or break all the consumers' "goods” we can; and in our spare time, read, hear, see, and attend such quantities of leisure - stuffing goods as to make a year in a sani tarium seem a thing devoutly to be wished for. * * * Our trouble may arise in part from tlie notion that work and play are opposites. The "grind" and the "spree" lie at the anti podes of experience. No doubt, much of the work human beings have had to do in the past was nothing but slavery. Some tasks of drudgery are still with us,— dishwashing, for one. Ditch-dig ging may soon become a lost art and coal-mining a mere stroll through the Mammouth Cave, but, except for the aid of a few ele mentary gadgets at the sink, hash slingers at boarding houses and co-eds who will marry, go on scrubbing pans, and scraping cold potatoes from the china plates much the same as did the flunkies at the feast of Belshazzar. * * * No one can be accused of philo sophical superficially if he argues that a dance, a movie, or an hour with College Humor tallowing for four readings) is only a humane compensation for these tasks of drudgery. But at the same time the machine has been releasing us from drudgery, it has taken from us the opportunities for doing work that is satisfying and crea tice. The handicrafts will soon have disappeared except for work of a few Indians at their looms and pots, or remote mountaineers carv ing cherrywood trinkets for reeeal ing tourists. The butcher, the bak in', ttie candlestoek maker, and the Macks'inith and the cook have been supplemented by the machine m I the interests of efficiency. Per haps society generally is to gain more by using the machine than the services of the craftsman. * * * But these occupations in the past have provided an outlet for something of a creative, or at least, a constructive power. I re member a blacksmith whose skill in fitting a shoe to the foot of a lame horse was little less than genius. To say that this man may be better off today changing tires in a repair shop for eight hours, and sitting two hours through a showing of “Illicit Love,” may be satisfactory as an account of the way he can spend his time, but it does not explain how he is going to exercise the constructive skill for which he once found an out let. To the artist or the creator, whether in painting, letters, re search, thought, or cooking, work and play are not opposites. They are the same full use of energies and talents. The release from la gor given us by the machine may free many geniuses from a hum drum job and allow them to rise to high creative work. But many a butcher who is an artist at dress ing a hog carcass, can never do more in “Aida” than carry a spear. What creative outlets are these people to find in a technical world —and these people are most of us?

Try and look as if you had a mil lion dollars,” so said a woman whom I knew not only figurative ly, but literally, had hardly a red cent to her name. Once upon a time she had been almost fabu lously wealthy . . . the daughter of a multi-millionaire, who met bankruptcy suddenly. * * ❖ The first time I saw her she was wearing an evening gown of black with a long rope of pearls wound around her throat. She was tall, regal, and her features still held the stamp of beauty. The dress she wore was no longer par ticularly stylish, and it looked somewhat worn, but the lines were good and she wore it as if she had been appearing at the court of • St. James. Another time I saw her as she set off to a very smart luncheon with very smart people. She was worried for fear her clothes wouldn't be adequate to the situa tion, for her leopard jacket was years old. It was a smart little jacket, however, savage and flam boyant, lined with bright green flannel, and she wore a little green wool turban pulled down over one eye. $ $ “When you buy your trousseau," she said, "spend most of your money on negligees, evening gowns, and furs. They last and are good for years, while a suit or a coat is soon out of style.” ❖ * * I tell all of this because it is applicable to the present depres sion, in which most of us are poor but still proud. Know ye, it is no. longer fashionable to talk about the crisis, to tell your friends and acquaintances that you are pov erty stricken, and to walk through life looking as if you had no more than the price of a small lemon coke in your pocket. Neither is it good psychology. Talk quality and aim high by trying to appear as though you owned the Bank of England. It's smart. * V * One of the most startling mani festations of this trend as mani fested in the world of fashion is the throwing of costume jewelry into the discard. The only kind of inexpensive jewelry which is real ly de rigour nowadays is that fashioned from metal, which is especially good when made into aierd barbaric bracelets. Thumbing through the page.- of fashion magazines, one sees that the femme du monde wears no jewelry whatsoever except an oc casional piece of the real thing. She never wears ear-rings except in the evening, and then only if they especially add to her cos tume. * * * In her last showing, Chanel did a startling thing by setting real diamonds in crude settings, set tings that resembled those of stage jewelry. These diamonds, which have the flashing cut of pre-war days, were used for head-dresses of various kinds. Whether or not these breath-taking head-dresses are accepted remains to be seen. If they are, they will undoubtedly be copied in imitation stones. * * * * We Select for Promenade: di minutive Iris Davis, because she was singularly striking at the Phi Psi dance Saturday evening in a starkly white evening gown, cut with wide bands over the shoulder to end in a low backed decollet age.

I Questionnaire != By BARNEY CLARK r^EORGE REBEC, dean of the graduate school, submits the following questions as a means of throwing light on the state of stu dent ideas. They are to be an swered by a simple yes or no, yet the answer will reveal a good deal of the student’s character. It is impossible to furnish the correct answers to the questions, as they are controversial; so it is up to the individual to determine which may appear to him to be correct. The questions follow: 1. That man is educated who is adjusted to the life of society in its actual concerns and processes, j with a frank and distinct empha I sis on the man’s economic voca i tion. Yes or no ? 2. American democratic culture is not much interested in religions : which busy themselves with eter nity and the other world, or phil osophies seeking the “absolutely i real,’’ or an art or literature of I the high-aloft classical variety; American democratic culture must ! keep close to the common lot, and the common experiences. Do you agree ? 3. The kind of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology that should be taught young Amer icans is that which lies close to the life they have to lead. Yes or no? 4. The topics in history which educate are those which illuminate the present; history as archaeol ogy does not educate. Yes or no? 5. The social science which the | educated American of tomorrow j wants is not that which discusses abstract and ideal politics, or even studies too anxiously the frame work of our own government, but that which enlightens him con cerning the immigration question, lawlessness as a national phenorn | enon, the actual working of prohi bition, the reason for the malad i justment between production and : distribution in our capitalistic so ciety, etc. Yes or no? 6. The literature courses should | have a lot less of English litera 1 ture, including even Shakespeare and the great poets, and still less ! of Dante and Virgil and Homer, and all the rest of the high-toned, far-away classics, and a lot more of our own American literature, and the latter brought pretty near to date. Yes or no? 7. The common sense goal of i education is to reconcile Success j with Service. Are you satisfied ? f .. ■ i > Washington Bystander . .

Senator Glass, at least, and one ! or two other democratic senators known to be in close intimacy with the president-elect and his advis ers, do not regard the door as closed to his acceptance. What happened to bring all this about was that Glass, replying to something Long had said earlier which implied that Long's permis sion might be necessary before Glass could again hold the treas ury portfolio, thundered that ail the king's horses and all the king’s men could not drag him into seek ing cabinet distinction in such cir cumstances. * * # Presumably the implication of the Long remark, as Glass saw it. was that of a fight against his! confirmation should be appointed!

He cause of space limitations, the editor reserves the right to withhold such communications as he sees fit. All let ters should be concise and to the point. The editor of the Emerald solicits opin ions and constructive criticism from the members of the student body. • The College Yell? To the Editor of the Emerald: Sir. Have just finished reading Prof. Thacher’s interesting and delightful brochure on the passing of a dear old custum—truly song is sweet. Without criticizing the professor for having neglected to mention “Sweet Adeline," “Down Where the Cotton Blossoms Grow,” “In the Evening by the Moon light, “Under Southern Skies," “Love Me and the World Is Mine,"—oh, what’s the use— Well, what I was going to say was that if you were to offer a prize for the best “message” yet to appear in the Emerald, you’d J most certainly have to award it to Professor Thacher. Mentioning "Emerald" recalls something I have long intended to ask you about, namely, who chose that name for Oregon’s daily—and when and why? If, as I suspect, there is no ade quate answer to the question, why not "go modern" and call it the “College Yell”????? —James H. McCool, PorUand, Ore. treasury head—a fight possibly to be avoided if Glass yielded the branch banking point on whjph Long waged his filibustering bat tle. Original press reports of the Glass answer made it appear that he might have meant that under no circumstances would he go into the treasury again, anyhow. Both the Virginian and other Democrat ic senate leaders ''close to tho Roosevelt pre-inauguration camp promptly moved to have that cor rected. There have been intimations that the question of Senator Glass’ health and willingness to return to administrative responsibilities at 75 was the point around which turned his probable future activi ties. He has made no secret of his distaste for administrative work. Whether Mr. Roosevelt had made direct or indirect overtures to Senator Glass at the time of this senate by-play did not appear. There is reason to believe, how ever, that his name stood first for the treasury portfolio, other things being equal, on the tentative cabi net slate six weeks before inaugur ation. If the Glass-Long collision over tho bank bill is to be reflected in a fight against the return of Glass to the treasury, assuming his ap pointment, it would be something new on the political, stage. Any press gallery observer fa- i miliar with the fighting clan of "■ the Virginian for more than two decades, however, would expect the Long remark to sweep aside in Senator Glass’ mind all thought of personal comfort and desire. It might go far toward urging him to accept a post in the cab inet he had previously been plan ning to decline if offered. -1 I FELLOWS !
