The Emerald's Creed for Oregon
" ... . 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.

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?

promenade!
by carol hurlburt
"Always put up a bold front.
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.

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.

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 ?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.— (AP)
| ” —Between the lines of the
Glass-Long clash in the senate dur
ing the bank bill filibuster is mat
ter strongly suggesting the dough
ty little Virginia veteran looms as
Roosevelt's choice for secretary of
the treasury.
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!

• 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”?????

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.
