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 be 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 life
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 x 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 1031-32,
The American people cannot be too i arc!ul 111
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.
EXTEND THE LIBRARY DEADLINE
THE chief librarian, M. H. Douglass, has said
there is a possibility that the time limit for
returning reserve books may be extended to 9 a. m.
for those who present valid reasons for doing s^o.
The desirability and necessity of such action are
unquestionable. At no great bother to himself or
his staff, the librarian will be performing a valuable
service for the real scholars of the University.
Most of the students who study (there are those
who eliminate that activity from their curriculum)
do so until lute at night or early in the morning.
Under such conditions, it obviously works a dis
tinct hardship upon them to arise in time to return
a book to the library at 8 a. m. With that thought
in mind, numerous scholars are forced to curtail
their evening studying in order to get back their
reserve books within the specified time limit.
There is not much to be said against extending
the deadline to 9 a. m. for those who request it.
So long as they can give adequate and sufficient
reasons for their demand, the library can make
no mistake in giving them permission to return
their volumes at 9. Mi'. Douglass would act wisely
and well to giant the extended time limit to the
students who ask for it. He must not forget that
the 8:15 deadline often imposes fines upon scholars
who have justifiable excuses for returning their
books late.
And student poeketbooks are not stuffed with
greenbacks these days.
ONDAY night two programs of general cam
pus interest were presented at the same time.
One was the recital of dance music by George
Hopkins; the other the love and marriage lectures.
Both drew large numbers of students. Many stu
dents complained that they were unable to attend
It is this complaint, so often heard on the cam
pus, that is being voiced here. Many times through
out the year similar circumstances occur. Several
times each term affairs which have an attraction
to large numbers of students.are scheduled for the
same time.
Why is there not some central agency where
all events must be scheduled in order that this over
lapping might be avoided':' There are such agencies
on many of the more progressive campuses. It
seems that there should be one here.
At Stanford university any event of general
campus interest may be scheduled for a "closed
date." This means that there can be no other event
of general interest at the time granted that affair.
This is handled by one of the committees of the
associated students.
It might bo answered that the schedule of the
music building la ..c filled with recitals that Monday
CROWDED HOURS
bot h.
night was the only one on which Hopkins could
appear. Last night, however, was devoted to a stu
dent recital of rather limited interest—those at
tending being practically all musicians.
The dean of women’s office keeps a schedule of
all social functions. University affairs are sche-1
duled through Dean Onthank’s office. Why could
not one of these offices take complete charge of the
schedule and see that no such crowding of hours
recurrs ?
OUR PSEUDO PATRIOTS
BACK of the crass materialism for which Amer
ica has been witheringly damned by the other
nations of the world is a spirit of sentiment, noble
in character and noteworthy in essence. While our
thousands of splendid youths were laying down
their lives in the shell-torn fields of Flanders, it is
all too true that paunchy-faced millionaires were
adding to their ill-gotten gains by criminal profit
eering literally turning scarlet blood into scarlet
dollars.
Bilt there is something to be said for America.
She does not forget. And to atone for many of
her misdeeds, to make up for much of her material
ism, and to pay homage to her honored dead she
has set up monuments of polished granite in the
public squares of her scattered cities. More than
that, she has mounted field-guns in her many parks,
mute memorials to her fallen heroes. America does
not forget.
And so, too, the state of Oregon remembers her
boys in khaki. With touching sentiment she has
seen that her brave youth do not go unnoticed,
fn the shadow of the Broadway bridge at Portland
the state has moored the obsolete battleship Ore
gon, and each year pays tribute to her courageous
warriors to the tune of $30,000 in maintenance
funds. Thirty thousand dollars would buy a lot of
food and fuel for hungry vets, but—Oregon does
not forget.
There is no reason why this great University
should do less. In the midst of our educational
difficulties, we should rise above the moment, cast
aside the crass materialism which has demanded
money for men and mortar, and in truly patriotic
spirit pay homage to those stalwart souls of the
past who sacrificed so much for posterity. Let us
now, in reverence to the stalwart plainsmen who
conquered this wilderness, do what little we can
to express our appreciation. Let us unite the Pio
neer and Pioneer Mother, those noble characters
whose images we have reared on our campus
grounds. Let us level our new administration
building to the ground, and now, for the first time
let the Pioneer gaze across the expanse at his cou
rageous soul mate. Let not a mere building—token
of our materialistic character separate them from
each other’s sight! The University must not for
get!
BUGBEAR OF ATI1EI8M
\ BILL to prohibit the teaching of atheism in
*- public schools has just been introduced to the
Wisconsin fathers by Assemblyman John Conway,
who hopes that the anti-Christian "goings on” of
the younger generation will be promtply squelched.
The University of Wisconsin, being a public
school within their jurisdiction, would be subject to
such regulation if the measure is passed. There is
little likelihood of the proposal's becoming a law,
however. In the great and progressive state of
Wisconsin, which has been responsible for much of
our liberal legislation, the strangulation of free
thought can not come about easily. The southern
states that have passed laws against the teaching
of evolution and the interpretation of science con
trary to the precepts of the Bible, are the laughing
stock of the world.
Atheism is not taught in the schools despite the
wild allegations of political mountebanks. What
they consider the teaching of atheism is simply the
explanation of certain scientific trends and beliefs,
which if omitted would not only emasculate the
sciences themselves, but would be tantamount to
defeating the expository aim of the university.
In order to comply with the beliefs of the occa
sional cranks and paranoics who are forever de
luging the legislature with suggestions of this na
ture, it would be necessary to completely abandon
any pretense of scientific investigation. Atheism
is an emotional word. It always calls forth twitter
ings of the viscera from certain self-righteous
people who fear that youth, upon even hearing the
word mentioned, would be unalterably damned.
Vigorous denial of any considerable atheism among
college students can be found in statistics concern
ing their church attendance.
Paul Gutman, a blind man, is in charge of the
tuning of 245 pianos at Oberlin, Ohio.

Learning llow To Loaf
TlUTLKK UNIVERSITY apparently is staffed
* f with those professors of foresight for whom
H. G. Wells appealed recently. That forward-look
ing school is preparing to instruct its students in
utilization of leisure, preparing them for (It the
11 iumph of Technocracy, when no one will work
more than lti hours a week; or (2) the triumph of
unemployment, when no one will work at all. To
this end, it has launched a series of courses in
avocations and hobbies, to enable its graduates to
loaf intelligently, without the crudities certain to
be committed by unenlightened idlers. Gardening,
astronomy, photography, sports, books, birds
these are among the fields to be cultivated. Avo
eational training thus takes its place alongside vo
cational training in the curriculum, and il is a wise
step, lor schooling in one is as important to human
happiness as knowledge of the other.
One subject, however, gives us pause. The last
two items listed in the announcement are "appre
ciation of art and after-dinner speeches." This
lacks a necessary clarity, out with dire implica
tions in either case. Does Butler V. intend to
teach appreciation of after-dinner speeches, or tlie
art ot making them? If the former, a horrible
prospect of ttie Technocratic ge appears. No one
will be rushed tor time, and speakers can drone on
at even greater lengths than now. The science
ot appreciating them undoubtedly will be the stuf
est course of the lot. And if the latter interpreta
tion is correct, the prospect is equally bad. We
need fewer banquet orators rather than more even
with d 16-hour week.—Lt. Lout Pdst-Dn.paUli.
False Reminiscences - By KEN FERGUSON

-I—
HPHE king commanded: the peo
pie obeyed. Thus did fashions
originate from the time of Rame
ses, the Egyptian, until the de
nouement of Napoleon. Today only
one member of a ruling royal fam
ily has any influence on styles and
modes. That member is H.R.H.,
the Princess Elizabeth, elder
daughter of the Duke and Duchess
of York, and fourth lady of the
British Empire. Well dressed chil
dren the world over copy the
clothes of this golden-headed child
of London, England*
That, however, is just about as
far as the influence of royalty
permeates in the matter of fash
ion. The clothes of today are born
in Mediterranean fishing villages,
in the shadowy, unmentionable
parts of the underworld, in the
extravagant salons of Hollywood.
The beret, which, at one time or
another, graces the heads of half
the feminine world, is the out
standing example of a garment
born without benefit of respecta
bility.
It so happens that a notorious
Parisian cocotte went down to a
Basque fishing village for a rest.
The son of an Argentine million
ait e, who was much enamored of
j her, became suspicious, paid her a
! surprise visit. He accused her of
having an affaire with one of the
native fishermen. She denied it,
but he espied a rough beret on her
table and whereupon struck her.
The fisherman, who had been in
hiding, jumped out and attacked
the millionaire with knife. The
young Argentine, however, was
singularly lithe, agile, and suc
ceeded not only in vanquishing the
fisherman but in fracturing his
skull.
Scandal ensued, but the cocotte
went back to Paris, boasted of the
affair, and wore the beret as sou
venir. The women of Paris found
the beret jaunty, alluring, with a
, touch of devilment about it. Thus
| was the debut of the beret.

Not so long ago women every
where, from 15 to 50, wrapped a
gaily colored handkerchief around
I their wrists for decoration. Mil
; lions of handkerchiefs, gaily eol
| ored bits of chiffon and gauze,
were sold, and this is how it hap
pened :
In one of the celebrated Parisian
testaurants a courtesan was bit-)
I ten in the wrist by an infuriated
dancer whose Grand Duke she had
stolen. Nonchalantly, she tied a
handkerchief over the wound and
continued dancing. The casual act
■a as noticed by a social leader,
who also was guilty of purloining
the husband of one of her enemies.
The next evening this woman ap-!
peared with a mouchoir tied about
her wrist: laughingly remarked.
“In case 1 get bitten.”
Last summer a beautiful platin
um blonde drove to the beach at |
Monte Carlo in the speed boat of
a Greek gambler. After swimming, j
she found that the top to her pa-;
jamas had been stolen, and, being ■
an ingenious young blonde, she
simply folded her bandana into a j
triangle, spread it across her chest,
tying the top points around her
necklace and the ends around her
waist. When she emerged for lunch
the blase eyes of sophisticated gal
lants followed her. Their compttn-‘
ions took notice and followed the
blonde's example. j

W/ASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—(AP)
—Just by way of showing
its many-sidedness the senate
capped weeks of filibusters and
wrangling by two remarkable ex
hibitions of speed and word re
straint.
One day it voted, all but out of
hand, an almost dictatorial grant
of powers to the incoming admin
istration to refashion government
machinery in the interest of econ
omy. The very next it took up,
debated and passed a $43,000,000
department appropriation bill in
the space of less than four hours.
And it did both of these things
without benefit of special rules,
cloture, unanimous consent agree
ments or other parliamentary aids
to higher speed.
The powers conferred on the
next president by the Byrnes
amendment, adopted without even
the formality of a muttered “aye”
or two, are probably the most ex
traordinary ever conferred on a
president, certainly in peace
times. Only by a two-thirds ma
jority vote of both houses could
congress block whatever consoli
dations and abolitions of executive
agencies Mr. Roosevelt may de
cree.
Save for a fear that consolida
tion of the army and navy into a
single department of national de
fense might flow out of it, even
the departmental structure would
have been placed under the presi
dential ax on similar terms.
That was the sole reason as
signed for excepting them. And in
this precedent breaking form the
proposal w'ent through.
Just w'hy the interior bill was
passed next day in similar fash
ion, it would be hard to say. There
were many items in it of highly j
conflicting interest to various sen
afors. Yet only two speeches were
made.
One was by King of Utah. It
merely continued his ten-year at
tack on government Indian policy.
He has made from one to a dozen
speeches about that every one of
those 10 years and was armed
with a bulky manuscript this time.
Eut Senator King, even, yielded
to the psychological urge of the
particular moment in the senate.
Instead of plowing through his gi
gantic manuscript from end to end
as usual, he just flitted from page
to page, in his formidable arraying
of figures.
The other speech was by Ash
urst on tax exempt securities,
hailed as the shortest premeditat

Answers
rpHE following are the answers
to the questions furnished yes -
terday by Andrew M. Vincent, pro- '
fessor of drawing and painting,
and Lance W. Hart, assistant pro
fessor of drawing and painting.
1. That there is a “Royal Road"
to artistic success-—that there ex
ist rules, formulas, and tricks
that once learned insure success
as an artist.
2. The difficulty ill' getting
across to the student the fact that i
the instructor’s fondest dream is of :
developing the ability of the stu
dent.
3. That the instructor is there
to make the decisions and to tell
the student what to do.
4. Not until he had acquired a
sound basic training in design—
then such a school for the com
mercial “finish” would be all
right.
5. “Class” is hardly the right
word—but every Wednesday night
a large group of architectural and
art students meet around the
hearth at Professor W. R. B. Wil
cox' to discuss any and all ques
tions in a cloud of cigarette smoke.
0. An almost indefinable dem
onstration of that thing which we
call fitness, the result of selecting
with a keen sense of design for
the individual as opposed to the
mob movement with “styles.”

some day at tea-time and let’s

Frnts and Sororities
Fraternities and sororitie3
of the university in 1932 paid
in to the city of Madison approxi
mately ?70,821 in real and person
al property taxes. This item alone,
in these depressed times, is a real
problem to fraternity and sorority
financial advisers—advisers who
are faced with a decline in revenue
in their houses and a highly prob
able future decline in membership
in their organizations. They must
face this problem with all facts
before them, and little hesitation
in adopting a plan of action that
will be both practical and accept
able to the city.
There is little doubt in the minds
of those acquainted with the fra
ternity situation that many of the
Greek letter houses are over- as
sessed, and that it is in this over
assessment that the real evil lies.
Of course, many shout loudly that
fraternities and sororities should
not be taxed at all, and moves
have been made, quite unsuccess
fully, in the past to remove the
tax. We do not believe that such
a move would, at the present time,
net any appreciable results, and
would very probably be only wast
ed effort. The fraternities and so
rorities should, on the other hand,
conduct a very vigorous campaign
for re-valuation and reassessment.
The first move to take in this
direction is for the fraternities and
sororities to appeal individually to
the Madison board of review for
a hearing on their separate cases.
First of all, a reappraisal of the
property should be made by a re
liable realtor; then, according to
the tax assessor’s manual, “any
i taxpayer who thinks the assess
ment of his property as made by
the assessor is too high or is ille
gal may appear before the board
of review and, under oath, offer
testimony to correct such assess
ment. He may also call witnesses
. . . The assessor . . . (has the)
power to counteract such testi
mony . . . When the evidence is
all in . . . the board of review has
power ... to make such changes
as it believes the evidence war
rants ... If testimony is intro
duced by the taxpayer and no op
posing testimony is introduced to
rebut . . . such testimony, then the
board of review must change the
values to conform to the testimony
introduced by the taxpayer.’’ Sev
eral fraternities and sororities.
headed by vigilant and interested
officers, have had their assess
ments materially reduced by fol
lowing this formula.
Should group action seem advis
able, and the seriousness of the
present situation certainly war
rants it, a reappraisal of the en
tire district can be secured upon
application of the owners of only
5 per cent of the taxable property
in the district. Should this district
reassessment be obtained, it is al
most certain that the resulting
appraisal would bring -about a
more equitable adjustment of the
tax burden on the whole, in addi
tion to a general downward revi
sion of the present assessment fig
ures in the majority of the cases.
The fraternities and sororities
cannot afford to merely complain
of an unjust tax situation. They
must take immediate action.—■
