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 he 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 be 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 life
and world in which they are to live, must he 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 Hiennial
Report of the University of Oregon for l‘JtU-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 the character and conduct of public
men. —Carl Schurs.
1*KAY FOR WAR. BOYS!
THE League of Unemployed College Alumni is
growing fast. It has a good chance to become
the biggest fraternity in existence before the end
of the year. Many of us undergraduates are be
ginning to wonder if membership ia*ithe unem
ployed league is the only position tlraf waits for |
us after graduation. The glowing letters which
once spelled "Opportunity” above the doors of every I
university may soon be replaced by “Abandon hope, i
all ye who enter here.”
Most of us have ceased to expect from those
older and wiser than ourselves the kind of political
and economic leadership which will lift the country
from the bog of unemployment. Three years • of '
short-sighted bungling at home and abroad give
no indication of clearer thinking or more resolute
remedial action in the near future.
Strangely enough, our national mismanagement
as applied to foreign affairs may yet prove to be
the salvation if us, the students, "the flower of
America’s young manhood.” If Roosevelt and Hull
continue the Oiiental policy of Hoover and Stim- i
son, and go on speaking loudly and carrying no i
stick at all in the Far East the chances are excel- \
lent that u nice new war may start within a con
veniently short time after June commencement ex
ercises.
If war comes, wo need worry no more about.1
ways and means for the balance of our lives. Here's,
the formula:
As soon as war is declared, rush to the colors
i
and get on a uniform as soon as possible. The I
more days in uniform, the more compensation you
can demand later.
A.- soon as an armistice is declared, those of us
who are left alive and sane must gel together at
once and organize the Brotherhood of Retired Pa- ;
triots, conveniently known as BORP. With a mem
bership of two or three million veterans, BORP
could do great tilings for its members.
Taking advantage of the natural gratitude of
our countrymen for our patriotic self-sacrifice on
(he fields of glory, we could with very little trouble
organize a BORP lobby at Washington to push
this program through congress:
tli Ten dollars a day for the time every mem
ber of BORP spent in the service of his country.
(21 A pension of five dollars a day for every
unemployed member of BORP.
(3) Free medical and hospital care for any in-1
jury or disease acquired in any way for tiro rest i
of our lives.
tli Comfortable pensions for wives and chil
dren acquired by any member of BORP within ten
years after the armistice.
(o i Free cigarettes, free beer, and passes on
all railroads tor every retired patriot.
Pray for war, boys, and have no fear for tire
future. God and the Government will provide.
FI N OK FORM VI,ITV ?
"C' ACULTY dinners have long been traditions on
this and other camp!. Their success is spo
radic. Sometime they arc very enjoyable affairs
where students and professors really gel ac
quainted, but just a/ often they are stiff, unnatural
formalities that both hosts and guests regard as
necessary evils to be gotten out of the way as
quickly and painlessly as possible.
Now comes a substitute for the faculty dinner I
an informal Sunday night supper with food served
cafeteria .tyh and conversation groups centered
around scattered tables. The very method of get
ting the food is conducive to easy convetatiou and
informality. I he a G umucUuu« about .lauding
i
in line with a hungry brother, plate in hand, that
defies stilted phrases and forced banality. Sunday
is preferable to mid-week nights, as there are no
campus activities to make either guests or hosts
late to dinner or early to leave.
If Sunday night tea is habitually prepared by
the house members themselves, an arrangement
could be made with the cook to serve a light Sun
day noon meal and then have her prepare the buffet
supper in the evening for a slight additional fee.
This would solve the financial side of the sugges
tion. This system of faculty entertainment, is be
ing tried very successfully on the campus by one
sorority and also a fraternity, and certainly merits
investigation by all.
LIGHT ON THE SENIOR BALL
rpHE Emerald still is occasionally besieged with
letters, telephone calls, and personal visits pro
testing the lighting at the recent Senior Ball. Many
persons maintained that the brilliant illumination
spoiled the effect oi the decorations. Somewhat
belatedly we decided to investigate the situation.
Curious, we called the dean of women's office,
who referred us to the dean of men, who referred
us to Cecil Espy, president of the senior class. Said
Espy; "I am satisfied with the dance and refuse
to make any comment on the lighting." The state
ment seemed to us to lack conviction so we pur
sued our investigations further.
The indirect lighting system at the Senior Ball
consisted of small flood lights which reflected
against mirrors set in the drapes. The whole motif
of the dance was based upon this lighting system.
Upon arrival at nine-thirty, Dean Schwering or
dered these lights turned around to bring more
illumination on the floor, but the result far ex
ceeded anyone’s expectations. The flood lights at
close range made silhouettes from the formal
dresses and the effect was that of a Fanchon and
Mai co review. However, this was considered
preferable to having any unlighted or dim corners
It is our contention that lighting at dances
should be sufficient for visibility, but not enough
to give the effect of a carnival circus; being able
to recognize other couples on the floor a test for
the former. A certain softness is necessary to
give the proper atmosphere to a formal dance.
Good taste, not morality, serves as the criterion
in lighting, according to Dean Virgil D. Earl. This
is rather puzzling, but we are glad to know that
the lights were not turned around because the fac
ulty suspected that any indiscriminate conduct
would take place.
TO THINK OB NOT TO THINK
npo what, extent are college students seriously
puzzled about their future life work?
As many as seventy per cent of the graduates
of 1931 in a representative number of colleges are
still unemployed. Forty per cent of graduates of
1930 are still looking for jobs. Thousands of stu
dents now preparing for definite professions prob
ably will never be able to find a place in their
chosen profession so long as our present system
of unplanned vocational economy exists. The As
sociation of Unemployed College Alumni is adding
new members fast.
It is no easy task to find one’s place in the
world. The vocations are tremendously over
crowded. This is a result not only of the fact that
since the war colleges have been turning out more
and more graduates each year, but also of the fact
that the world's economic foundations have been
crumbling beneath our feet. Our whole machine
age and our past way of doing things is going
through a vast metamorphosis. We of this gen
eration are suffering because of it.
College undergraduates must learn to discover
themselves and their real abilities more quickly
and more surely than they have been doing in the
past. They must discover what they can do betLer
than anything else and specialize in that particular
field. This does not mean simply building mouse
traps better than anyone else in the world, and
that alone, for the world will make a path only to
the door of the person who has a broad, cultured
education and who realizes the interdependence of
the people of the nation and the world.
THE DEATH OK TECHNOCRACY
HT'KOHNOCRACY is as outmoded as last year’s
hal. And that is merely saying that it will
appear again in some other form within the next
twenty years as fashions have a habit of reappear
ing. As ail explanation of or remedy for the de
pression it has failed utterly. For a while it fur
nished interesting table conversation and kept
economists of a more conservative turn poring over
pages of inaccurate statistics and technical data.
There has been so much written about tech
nocracy (even now the mails are cluttered with
some two hundred books on the subject) that even
at this late date we feel it necessary to at least
make a mention of the most highly controversial
topic of 1032. That the theory has been completely
discredited by the more eminent economists does
not make it less of an interesting phenomenon.
Kconomists have tried to explain every major
depression that has affected civilization. There
arc so many interrelated factors that quite prop
erly no one has been singled out as the cause of
depression. Technocracy does not explain any
thing, but only defines a condition that already
exists. Following every major war has come de
pression so wo could logically draw the conclusion
that war and its attendant artificial quickening of
production is one of the causes. Depressions occur,
however, without war and the interruption of deli
cately balanced international relations.
Our civilization has within itself the conditions
for recovery. If that was not true, it would have
broken down long ago under the weight of recur
ring periods of prosperity and distress. As in de
pressions of the past the situation will gradually
r*ght itself in spite of government interference,
and the cure come as mysteriously and certainly
as the disease.
Bu‘ the solution will not be the result of one
man's work nor of a particular group of men. We
do not believe that even in a Utopian future th"
men of science will be entirely able to control the
course of production. The variable human factor
is too great for that.
Undoubtedly there will be many reforms fol
low ing this era. but they will come with slowness;
as in tile past, t ndoubtcdly, too, there will be a
shortening of the hours of labor since that ha •
been the tendency within the last fifty years; but
the technical improvements of the future will not
destroy our civilization nor lead t. an autocracv
oi pceial lutere t .

The Vandals Are Coming By KEN FERGUSON
----L ---J
By GLENN FRANK
(President of the University of
Wisconsin)
II
I ask you to remember that we
j could dismantle every federal bu
j reau and stop every civil function
' of the national government - with
; the four exceptions of construc
tion, relief, loans for shipbuilding,
' and the federal farm board—and
sttf! reduce the federal budget by
only 8 per cent. The complete
cost of the legislative, executive,
and judicial activities of the fed
eral government absorbs less than
; two-thirds of one per cent of the
j ratal federal money. Where, then,
I you may ask does all the money
go ? Well, for one thing, almost
three-fourths of the total expen
ditures of the federal government
go to pay the costs of our current
military establishment and to car
ry the obligations incurred in past
wars. That is to say, of every
dollar we pay in taxes to the fed
eral government# about 75 cents
go into payment for past wars and
preparation against future wars.
Think of that the next time you
are tempted to applaud the blath
erskite or jingo who denounces ev
| ery intelligent attempt to outlaw !
war as puling pacificism.
The more deeply we analyze the
problem of public expenditures, j
the clearer it becomes that it sim-1
ply is not the scientific, social, and >
educational services of the nation j
that are bending the American;
back. And yet, throughout the na- j
tion, we are trying to balance bud-'
gets by cutting the very heart out!
of the only things that make gov
ernment a creative social agency.
We slash scientific bureaus. We
drastically shrink our support of
social services. We starve librar
ies. We reduce hospital staffs. We
squeeze education. And we call
this economy. And actually think
we are intelligent in calling it that, j
How the gods must be laughing
at us! And how our grandchild
ren will damn us!
While we are bleeding white the!
only things that make government
socially significant, we go gaily on
with political and economic policies
that are surely setting the stage j
for further wars and thus fasten
ing securely upon us three-fourths
or more of the existing federal
budget. And state governments
throughout the nation are commit
ting' the same blind sin. In our
states we lay the* ax at the root
of the tree of all the civilizing
agencies evolved during the last
half century and at the same time
blandly tolerate the multitude of
unnecessary and criminally waste
ful forms of local government
which, essential and unavoidable
in the days of bottomless mud
roads and the one-horse buggy,
arc indefensible in this day of good
roads, automobiles, telephones, ra
dio, and the varied new forces that
have conquered both time and dis
tance. W’e could balance the state
budget of Wisconsin and make un
necessary the surrender or starva
tion of a single socially significant
service if we had the vision and
the courage to effect an intelligent
reform of our system of local gov
ernment. But to effect real econ
omics (a that sort is to call for. a
kind of thought and action we have
yet to display.
The real issue confronting us is
not economy versus extravagance.
That question is well on it. way
-'Itlcmeut. Leaders who footer
extravagance will be broken. The
issue is real economy vs. bogus
economy. The sword that hangs
over education and all tne other
social and cultural enterprises of
government is the danger of bo
gus economy.
In the achievement and adminis
tration of real economy every re
sponsible schoolman must stand
ready to cooperate with the lead
ership of community, state, ami
nation. If even one drop of water
can be found in any educational
stock, now is the time to dehy
drate. If there is-anywhere in our
schools a service that has measur
ably outlived its usefulness, now
is thd time to eliminate it. If
there is anywhere anything that
has been over-developed, any phase
of our program that has been over
specialized, any over-coddling of
the student where we might prop
erly ask him to indulge in a little
more self-education, now is> the
time to correct such errors. Now
is the time to declare a morato
rium on vested interests and vest
ed ideas that may, in more normal i
times, have slowed down healthy!
processes of educational recon-1
struction.
But even so utterly sincere and
statesmanlike a facing of tne chal
lenge to real economy as I have
suggested may leave the future of
education seriously endangered
throughout the nation. It will not \
be enough to foster economy. Bo
gus economy must be fought. Not
to save their own skins or to safe
guard their salaries, but to dis-1
charge their responsibility to the j
American future, educators, once j
they have come with clean hands j
on the issue of real economy, must
be willing to put their breasts tc
the guns in the battle against bo
gus economy.
There is under way a higli-pow- j
ered drive, national in scope and
manned by able leaders who are
determined drastically to slash the
national bill for education at any
cost. It is important, for all Amer
icans who want to see the signifi
cance of education for the national
future safeguarded, to understand
the forces back of this drive. The
more obvious forces back of this
drive are, I think, three, viz:
(1) The epidemic of fear that
grips the nation as it watches its
income fall lower and lower.
(2) The weakness of a taxation
system that, in most places, puts
an undue part of the tax load on
real and personal property, and
prompts millions of harrassed
Americans to strike blindly out for
relief without any too much dis
crimination about what they hit.
(3) Groups which have always
been opposed to adequate support
for education and are now taking
advantage of the real necessity for
economy and the epidemic of fear
to achieve their niggardly and anti
social objective.
I suggest three broad lines
along which I think educators are
obliged to move if they are to dis
charge their responsibility to the
future of community, state, and
nation.
(11 Educators should see to it
that the teaching profession and
the public are put in possession of
all the pertinent facts about any
short-sighted and anti-social forc
es that may be operating in an un
ci itical drive against educational
expenditures.
This is not say, let me make
clear, that educators should set
themselves in opposition to sound
economies. It is only to say that
they must not permit, if they can
prevent it, a blind assault on the
enterprise of education by limited
and anti-soc’al interests bent upon
taking advantage of the time to
slash the heart out of education in
the cold interest of their pocket- j
books.
12) Educators should meet an 1
unfair propagandizing of the pub- ;
lie with a wise education of the•
public in the actual facts of the!
situation.

making statements about the con

2. An extensive price war

prominent men’s houses saying
that they could gain admission to
the Theta dancing school for only
