The Emerald’s Creed for Oregon
“ . . . . There is ulways 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 ap end. There is
always a glowing sense of satisfaction in the natural
impulse for expansion. This frequently leads to regard
ing achievements as enqs in themselves, whereas the
truth Is that these various appearances of growth and
achievement can be justified onjy 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 be given
them to qolve. They must be taught under thfi 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 rre 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 careful in
guarding the freedom of speech and of the press
against curtailment qs to the discussion of public
affairs and the character and conduct of public
men. —Cqrl Schurs.
CHILDREN—AND MORTAR
THE STRUGGLE to save higher education from
bloody sacrifice at the hands of the high-priests
of the political cults proceeds onward to an inde
terminate conclusion.
The scholars and educators still strive valiantly
to protect what they know to be the cultural aud
intellectual nucleus of the nation.
The turmoil is confined to no specific locality.
It is stormy in Oregon; it is even stormier else
where. Through it all, from Maine to Puget
sound, from Louisiana to the Canadian border,
exists a widely prevalent condition. Higher educa
tion is hearing a far greater proportion of the gen
eral retrenchment than it can endure and still
maintain itself on a basis compatible with its pur
poses and position.
Highways, police forces, armaments, prisons,
commissions, asylums the politicians have cut
them all, but the brunt has been shoved onto edu
cation. "Eire a professor!” rings more pleasingly
in the demagogues' ears than "Cut down the police
force!" or "Limit the national guard!" It is ngainst
such conditions that the nation's foremost scholars
and educators are directing their influence and en
deavors. They have the statesmen on their side;
it is the politicians who oppose them.
One of the foremost gladiators in the amphi
theatre for higher education is Dr. William Trufant
Foster, ex-president of Reed college, and now a
noted writet* and scholar. University of Orogou stu
dents will have an opportunity to hear him when
he speaks at Villard hall Thursday night. In an
appearance at Portland Sunday, he uttered some
pungent comments on higher education, the sub
stance of which follow:
“They have cut government payrolls and thrown
the victims into the bread lines. Still they want
more cutting. How much is enough? They do not
say. Especially they insist on cutting down expen
ditures in education. They have liquidated business.
Now they want to liquidate education. They have
thrown 40.000 teachers out of work. Now they call
lor further retrenchment.
"The tragic mistake of the retrenchment is the
■assumption that any reduction of taxes, at any
cost, is economy. It is possible to economize on
education until we have broken down the morale
of the aation, and destroyed the very institutions
which the retrenchers are trying to protect.
"There is no economic reason why the education
of youth must go up aud down with the stock
market. The children of today should not be forced
to pay for the mistakes of their patents Payments
can wait; childten cannot. No tO-year-old child will
ever again be to yours old The next generation
should not be crucified on the cross of false econ
omy."
To those who have followed the words of Gleuti
Frank, Arnold Rennett Hall, and many others on
the subject, Dr. Foster's fact* ring as a fitting cli
max. His phrases portray vividly and dramatically
the mistake of economizing by Impairing the effi
ciency of higher education. "Payments can wait,"
be say:., "but cbXirez casaci.'’
-S* is TfitJC to vt«, -M~3" vy
between Mink point and Turtle ridge is gravel in
stead of concrete. But a generation of future citi-'
zens of the United States will be unjustly and
cruelly crippled throughout their lives if higher
learning is slaughtered upon the altar of political
expediency. .
A bridge or a mile of concrete can wait. A j
child cannot. That kind of logic ought to sway the j
politicians. Even they can understand the differ-1
ence between flesh and blood and mortar and steel. I
DEPRESSION DANCES
THERE are those of us who remember when all
winter-term house dances were at either the
Eugene or Osborn hotels and when a five dollar
tax for the annual formal was a matter of course.
Those days are past. A few of the hardier fra
ternities and sororities have seen their way clear
to have hotel dances this term, but only a few. The
majority are using their own houses and making
the affairs either informal or semi-formal.
And the strange part of all this enforced econ
omy is that house dances this year are as enjoyable,
if not more so, than any past affairs. Most house
interiors are handsome enough to lend atmosphere
to any formal occasion, and with a few flood-lights
and possibly the conventional palms, can be easily
transformed into attractive dance floors. The
drudgery and expense of decorating is eliminated,
and a, little extra money can be applied to the
music or programs. Punch has replaced elaborate
intermission meals, and finances and digestions
have profited thereby.
House dances this year are more informal, less
work, more economic, and still lots of fun.
AS THE WORLD SPINS MADLY
PROM the four corners of the earth comes news
bewildering in variety and foreboding in portent.
It makes headlines in the newspapers, conferences
in the capitals, and sober thought wherever men
meet and think.
But before the fraternity fireplace all is calm;
words are blithe and spirits are gay. To the news
that the would-be assassin of President-elect Roose
velt is sentenced to an 80-year term, the collegiate
reply is short and succinct—“poor sucker!”
The tidings of prohibition repeal action in con
gress evoke brief comment from the Greek brethren.
“What the hell?” is the rhetorical retort. With the
price war rampant in Eugene, beer can be had as
low as a dime a quart, and corn likker for a mere
six bits. So why the fuss about repeal?
Even the sombre rumblings of war in the Orient
go unchallenged in the portals of the tri sigmas.
Why bother that the world after nearly 20 years
again hovers on'the brink of armageddon? With
the returns of the latest Aggie basketball game
still ringing in their ears, why should our Univer
versity men pause to consider matters of greater
moment ? And when glaring headlines fairly shout
the news of impending conflict, the lackadaisical
I rejoinder of Joe College drawlingly comes through
j the haze of cigarette smoke; “Aw, shoot the chinks.
Too many of ’em now.”
It’s getting so that it’s a mark of distinction
to have even a socialist club on the campu3.

Honor Systems
TNTERESTING reading is the recent report of a
study of the "honor system" in colleges and
universities. There was a time when with the aban
don characteristic of the intercollegiate world the
"honor system” was being debated, lauded, adopted,
or adapted on campuses from coast to coast. Dis
illusionment followed close; it was found that the
system did not function unerringly and with dis
regard to local conditions surrounding it. And, of
course, there were those who were quick to see in
the failure of the system the general breakdown of
the entire collegiate moral fabric. The observations
of Franklin I. Sheeder, of what in his report he calls
conditions prerequisite to the development of a true
and active honor spirit, are sufficiently stimulating
to warrant condensed quotation
(1) A student body that is normally and intel
lectually worthy of a college education .... Stu
dents should not be admitted to college who are
mentally or morally unfit. This calls for a careful
examination of the pre-college histories of all pros
pective candidates for admission and a courageous
determination to sacrifice quantity for quality. . . .
(2) A student body that is serious in its pur
poses- i. e., individuals who are really in quest of
an education. This means the discovery and modi
fication (or elimination) of the lazy student at the
earliest possible moment in his college career. . . .
(3> A faculty group that knows as much about
youth as it knows about the subject matter which
It teaches, and because of this knowledge has such
sympathy for the confidence in youth as to be trust
ful rather than suspicious in its dealings with
them. . . .
, hi An eaucauonai pnuosopny wmcn places me
I emphasis upon growing rather than upon merely
learning facts. This is one of the most revolution
ary conceptions in modern educational thinking. . . .
(5) Less emphasis upon examinations, grades
and credits. This is a natural outcome of the
adoption of the educational philosophy suggested
above. . . .
tOI The realization that a curriculum to be
truly educative must be built upon the interests
and needs of individual persons. Such a curriculum
will not impose upon the student an array of courses
which are meaningless to him. At the same time, if
, properly administered it will provide ail that is
j necessary to make him a fully integrated person
* ality.
Too often the discussion of student honor has
hinged ou the question of cheating in examinations
and on the justification for a student reporting in
fractions of the code. The real issue lies deeper,
is education itself merely a series of graduated ac
quisitions of knowledge? oi is it something infinite
ly more? Naturally, we are impelled to the second
alternative. Hut that does not lead us to agree
that a "fully integrated personality" is the end to
seek. Rather, life and education assume signifi
cance aud drive as we find causes aud loyalties out
side ourselves which lead us to forget ourselves
save as we see the need for preparation iu order:
that our service might be richer aud more effective.

Another Trophy for Troy By; KEN FERGUSON

rpHE event for which the world
waits anxiously, breathlessly,
is the inauguration of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt as president of
these United States on March 4.
One can almost feel the apprehen
sion in the very air one breathes.
Nothing is being done, all activity
is at a standstill in the interim.
# * #
What we of the "world of fash
ion” have been waiting to know is
what Mrs. Roosevelt will wear at
her husband's inauguration. A
press dispatch from New York
tells that while she officially re
ceives the distinction of becoming
the first lady of our land, Mrs.
Roosevelt will be clad in a grey
velvet gown that reaches to her
ankles, has long full sleeves puffed
after the Victorian manner, and a
regal stand-up collar. She will
wear dark blue kid pumps. These
are low-heeled in order that she
may better endure the grueling
task of standing throughout the
lond day.
# * *
It is enlightening of Mrs. Roose
velt’s character that she took only
thirty minutes to purchase her
outfit. What efficiency!
* * *
Another event, which is of in
ternational importance, has been
thrust forcibly upon us. We
brought it to your attention Sat
urday when we discussed the
vogue for trousers, but, more gen
erally, it may be called the ap
pearance of the masculine-femi
nine mode.
* # *
If you recall, women of the post
war period almost lost their heads
in an endeavor to ape men’s
clothes. The pendulum swung
back, and the year 1932 marked
the high-water mark of intense
femininity. 1933 launches a swing
to the extreme left. The outstand
ing example of this mode is the
strictly tailored suit.
* * *
Last Christmas when Henri the
stylist returned from New York
he told me that the smartest thing
for spring would be this tailored
suit, which is designed on man
nish lines. The skirts are straight.
The jackets are trim with a well
groomed air. Some are single
breasted; others double-breasted.
Some, after the manner of men's
suits, have slightly padded shoul
ders.
v * *
The suits are most chic when
they come in men’s suiting with a
firm smooth weave; are popular j
when a white hair-line runs
through the cloth. Perhaps you >
will prefer your suit in flannel of!
dark blue or grey. Tweeds, espe- j
eially those with a herringbone!
design, have rushed to the fore, i
But if you are more exquisite in
your taste, have your suit made
from imported French wool.
* $ *
The top of your suit may be of
a dark bright color, and you will
find this contrast not only in col
ors but in patterns, because some
of the models combine both checks
and plaids, for example, but use
fabrics of the same weave.
$ ¥ *
These suits, of course, are in
tended for street wear, so that you
may meet man upon his own
ground, look him in the eye and
feel his equal tin a skirt I always
feel his superior!!.
But. most precious daughters of
Eve. don’t breath a sigh of relief
and think that these mannish

hours. Intriguing evening gowns,
built on sculptured lines, are com
plimented by short tailored jack
ets. Mess jackets, inspired by the
cadet’s uniform, have been grad
uated with high honors into the
full-dress evening class.
• * •
The inconsistent thing about this
masculine mode is that these mess
jackets, while they cling to the
waistline and have all masculine
characteristics, such as a low-cut
front, revers, and belt, sometimes
have full Victorian sleeves than
which nothing could be more fem
inine.
♦ * *
O, woman, thy middle name is
inconsistency . . . but isn’t that a
woman’s privilege ?
* * •
We select for Promenade: Irene
Van Houten because she exempli
fies the feminine mode in an eve
ning gown of palest blue. Made
with a tucked bodice of chiffon,
it has a long clinging skirt of lace,
a low decolletage in black and a
wide bow of the pale blue satin.
The ensemble is complete with
slippers of blue and hose of blue
lace.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—(AP)
** —One thing can be said of
Speaker Garner's trip to the thea
tre to hear a political parody on
the new job to which he will go
March 4, the vice-presidency.
Nothing said jokingly about that
post possibly could be more bit
ing than what Garner has been
saying about it for years.
Yet just about the time Garner
was enjoying the wise-cracking at
the vice-presidency, President-elect
Roosevelt was letting it be known
that he long ago, when running
for the vice-presidency, had fav
ored cabinet service for the vice
president and proposed to draft
Mr. Garner for such duty.
Nor will it be merely a stand-by
service in Garner’s case. That he
is to play an important part in the
Roosevelt “new deal1’ plans has
been obvious from the start.
» * *
But for the fact that Garner,
with his 30-year background, will
be available as vice-president for
off-stage contacts with his old col
leagues of the house, the names of
house ’members certainly would
have passed through the public dis
cussion of possible cabinet timber.
As it was, a flock of senators
bobbed in and out of the cabinet
picture; but not a single house
member.
It has been customary for all in
coming presidents to seek a con-!
tact through their own official
family with the house. President
Hoover's appointment of the late
Jim Good of Iowa as secretary of
war and his drafting of Walter
Newton of Minnesota, just re-elect
ed to the house, into his personal,
secretariat illustrate that theory.
With Jack Garner at his side, how
ever, Mr. Roosevelt need not go j
farther.
* * *
Incidentally, Roosevelt's banter- ]
ing offer to the news writers at!
Warm Springs to bet that SO per !
cent of their published specula
tions as to his cabinet selections
would be wrong overlooks the fact
that they have left almost no na
tlnntJiv known ^ r<
this speculations. Somebody ought
to have taken Mr. Roosevelt up.
One trouble the president-elect
seems to have had in making his
cabinet is the embarrassment of
riches. There are so many demo
crats held by other democrats to
be fully qualified to fill any of
the posts that it looks like a forest
of cabinet timber.

THE following are the answers
to the questions furnished by
Alfred L. Lomax, professor of bus
iness administration, in last Sat
urdays Emerald.
I. The "Buy American" cam
paign is a well meant but misdi
rected effort to break the depres
sion by focusing the attention.of;
buyers on the purchases of Ameri
can goods to the exclusion of for
eign goods. Some American goods
contain imported materials,
Therefore," Americans who pur
such articles arc indirectly
SilOO''rv!nc- fortigO <- m — c > *
Since only 35 per cent (by value)
of our cargo trade is carried in
American bottoms, and it is the
evident intention of the Shipping
Board that greater amounts of our
foreign commerce shall be carried
under the American flag, there ap
pears to be an inconsistency in our
national policy, if the “Buy Amer
ican” campaign can be called a 1
policy.
2. According to the merchant
marine act of 1920, the president
was empowered to put into effect
the coastwise laws to the Philip
pine Islands when it was thought
the tonnage would warrant such
an arrangement. To date that ha3
not been done, and the export fig
ures for the islands are given in
the Commerce Yearbook covering
foreign trade.
3. There is no standard interpre
tation of the term, “alongside.”
The custom of the port determines
that. In one port, "alongside’’
means within 90 feet of the ship’s
side. Usually it means close
enough so that the ship’s tackle
can take the cargo.
4. The term "loading” is freely
interpreted in marine insurance as
beginning at that time when the
ship’s slings have the cargo in
custody.

|\-EW YORK, Feb. 20—Joe Cook
^ is back from a very unhappy
invasion of London, and the great
trek of celebrities has started
mew to his Lake Hopatcong
•state.
This pride of Evansville, Ind.
(although he is really Spanish and
born Joseph Lopez), brought his
;omicalities to the Piccadilly stage
right at the heat of the “Buy
British” campaign, and he found
our cousins across the sea in no
mood to entertain Broadway stars.
* * *
When a brochure upon world
famous hosts is compiled, then the
name of Cook must come well up
at the head of the list. His domain
on a New Jersey lake has been
built especially for the entertain
ment of his famous guests.
And what a line-up of guests:
Jack Dempsey, Gov. A. Harry
Moore, Marc Connelly, the late
Hudson Maxim—in fact, the list
includes spotlight names from
such varied professions as politics,
journalism, art, music, theater,
police departments, diplomacy. His
parties are democratic. Virtually
every stage hand in Manhattan
has been there.
One of his typical parties win
include a senator, a prize fighter,
a portrait painter, a newspaper
man, a stage hand, a musician, a
detective, and a couple of fellows
who are just out of work.
They come there for conversa
tion, sports and food that delights
the most exacting of epicures. Be
sides his many talents on the
stage, Joe is a noted chef. His
pride is a huge outdoor fireplace
where he barbecues chickens,
steaks and spare ribs in the wood
of a smoke fire and smothers them
in paprika-flavored gravy.
Maxim, whose laboratories were
near by, often put aside his experi
ments with high explosives to drop
over to Cook's and try out his own
favorite recipes at that outdoor
fireplace.
The two show spots of the place
are the museum and the golf
course. The museum has for its
purpose the exhibition of any
article one can name which is now
larger than a man’s hand, and
there is a prize for anyone who
can name such an article that
isn’t there. The prize never has
been claimed.
* * *
The golf course has several fan
tastic features. There is one hole
where the player niust drive
through a tunnel. One of the tees
is atop a high water* tower.
Another green is in the shape of a
bowl so if the drive goes on the
green the player is bound to make
a hole in one.
Another green is merely a small
island surrounded by a canal.
Some players have taken as many
as 40 drives to sink a ball on that
one.
Cook also has a huge outdoor
stage where he and his troupe of
icrobat - comedians practice the
stunts they pull in his new shows.

be shown, by Iowans who have
taken permanent residence in Los
