The Oregon Daily Emerald, official student publication of the University of Oregon, Eugene, issued daily except Sunday and Monday during the college year. Entered in the postoffice at Eugene, Oregon, as second-clasa matter. Subscription rates, 32.00 a year. 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 now functions, and Bimilar routine duties of the administration are but means to an end. There is always a glowing sente of satisfaction in the natural impulse for expansion. This frequently leads to regard ing achievements as ends in themselves, whereas the truth is that those 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 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 solve. They must be taught under the expert supervision of instructors to approach the solution of these problem* in a workmanlike way. with a dis ciplined intellect, with a reasonable command of the j 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 1U31-32. -—---i j I The American people cannot he too careful in | guarding the freedom of speech and of the press against cur/ailment as to the discussion of public affairs and the character and conduct of public men. —Carl Schurs. THE NEED FOR THE EMERALD PLAN PERTINENT facts and details prove the validity and advisability of the Emerald’s for reduced living costs. Any conscientious marshaling of the statistics will indicate beyond a doubt the neces sity for putting the proposal into effect at once. Ffo time should be lost in getting under way. This is an occasion for action, not delay. Needless bick ering and trivial criterion have no place in a Bitua tion as momentous and imperative as this one. A multitude of future citizens depend upon the establishment of a large-scale cooperative living organization to enable them to obtain education. There are young people in every corner of the com monwealth, loafing and idling because it costs too much to go to college. The Portland high schools are crowded to capacity with students taking post graduate work— students who should be at the Uni versity, the state college, or the normal schools— but whose finances are inadequate. Neither Chancellor Kerr nor the state board of higher education is unaware of the needs and ambi tions of those students. The board members, all keenly interested in students and their problems, live in widely separated localities. Yet, each knows of numerous deserving young men anil women who must spend their teens and early twenties in idle ness because it is too expensive to go to college. There are many ramifications and details to be provided for in a plan as large-scale as that which the Emerald proposes, but its advantages no one can doubt. The entire state realizes the need and demand for it. In its efforts to determine the need and desire for the installation of the plan, the editorial board of the Emerald has noticed frequent conditions which the proposal would better. One group of students is'paying 35 per cent of its funds for food and 65 per cent for rent. This proportion should be reversed. The introduction of the Emerald plan would do so. There are numerous other groups liv ing under similar conditions, all of which would be improved immeasurably by the Emerald proposal. The plan hus been investigated and commented upon favorably by a multitude of disinterested per sons. Its inception seems a foregone conclusion if the administration sees fit to undertake it. And considering the understanding and knowledge ot student proolems that Chancellor Kerr and the board have shown in the past, we are confident they will give the problem serious thought. THE PRESENT CRISIS TT'VERY martyr lias his Judas. For every plan of progress, for every pro- i gram of vision, for every proposal of social advance ment there is always the knocker, the cynic, the; backr.stabbei-. The dead-weight inertia of conser vatism is a heavy enough burden for every pro gressive movement to bear without the organized opposition of self-centered opponents of justice and humanity. At home or abroad, m the eapilul or on Ik" campus, it is all too true that those that ride the! saddle give little heed to those they trample under foot. To clamber to success over the backs of the' poor and helpless is but to parallel on a larger1 scale climbing to collegiate heights over the Weary shoulders of less fortunate fellows. When the crying need is ACTION there is no place for crafty criticism, for clever condemnation, or for deception and deliberate destructive tactics.. If the high and haughty cannot invoke a spirit of sacrifice, the least they can do is maintain a posi tion of tolerance and fairness. We need men to face the hour. . AMERICA MUST DgEAM AGAIN OREGON must dream again! America must dream again! The dreams of the pioneers have been forgotten in the mad business of earning livings, paying off mortgages, going to school, and ! in the general pressure of a business depression. A thought expressed by Frazier Hunt, world traveller, in the February issue of Good House keeping is worth repeating: "I thought of the old dream of America—the dream that had sent settlers across stormy seas to untracked forests and unknown river valleys in search of some mystical freedom; the dream that had pushed the pioneers on westward to the rolling free lands; the dream that had raised common lowly men to self-respect, a new citizenship; a dream that had given for the first time in the world, universal free education, and that had sent almost a million, young men and women each year into our countless colleges and universities.” American pioneers once dreamed of a vast em pire in the West, a land of comparative freedom, wealth, and vast natural resources. It was to be a land in which each individual would be evaluated in terms of his true worth. The hectic conditions of the last few years have turned that dream into somewhat of a nightmare, caused perhaps by gorg ing too much food and living too high back about 1929. But dreams can be pleasant and dreams can be real. Yes, Mr. Frazier, America must dream again. It must be a dream of a greater commonwealth, a greater nation, higher ideals, and a real brother hood for all. JUSTIFYING THEIR EXISTENCE TNO SORORITIES justify their existence as any thing more than social living organizations with emphasis on the "social” ? Yes, they do, but few people outside of the par ticular fraternal circle know anything about it. All sororities have some philanthropic or scholastic project which they have established and maintain. Summer camps, nurseries, student loan funds these are but a few of the commendable ventures of Panhellenic organizations. A series of articles, appearing alphabetically on the women's page, will present all these projects. They are sponsored by the local organization of Panhellenic. Contemporary ! =Opinion== 145,000 Nomad Youths 1Y>|TLITARY training for jobless youths appeared to be the American answer to the problem of what to do with 145,000 to 200,000 nomads last Monday, when the United States senate voted unani mously to appropriate $22,000,000 for keeping the citizens’ training camps open all year, and offering them as a refuge and school for the wanderers. Germany's answer to the identical problem >s the labor battalion, in which military discipline and work on rural development are united. Rus sia's answer—or one of Russia's answers—is the Children’s City, outside of Odessa, where 2,500 young Communists are running a self-governing and almost self-supporting community. Hard times brought national planning for needy youths to all three countries. They came first to i Russia, then to Germany, and then to this country. Each nation, as homes broke down, saw the rest less, adventurous and self-reliant boys of the coun try leaving families which could no longer support them, and striking out on their own resources to be casual laborers, panhandlers, tramps, and some times criminals. Each nation recognized a problem and a menace, and now, after much publicity for the “forgotten boy,” the senate has acted to care for him. The proposal for training jobless youths in the citizens' camps was made by Senator David A. Reed, : | Republican, of Pennsylvania, during a debate on the j $370,000,000 army appropriation bill. Senator James j Couzens, Republican, of Michigan, offered an | amendment providing that the regular army posts | should be refuges, but this proposal met the objec-j ; tion that it would demoralize the army posts, since ■ under the amendment the youths to be cared for | would not work, but merely take setting up drills I and subject themselves to discipline. | Such a proposal, it was contended, would have I : led thousands of youth* to avoid work deliberately \ for six months in order to loaf in a camp where I free food, bedding and clothing would be available.! j Then Senator Reed made his proposal; Senator I I Couzens accepted it, and the measure was quickly i passed. Under the Couzens amendment, if it passes the house of representatives, and is signed by the presi- j idem, $,">,000,000 will be made available immediately, and $17,000,000 in the next fiscal year. Under the law, any youth between the ages of 15 and 21, who has been jobless for six months, may apply for entry i into the training camps if an American citizen, sound of mind and body. Once admitted, he will receive the same training as has been given each summer to volunteers since the camps were started According to a census just made by the national! committee on care of the transient and homeless, 1,335 social agencies in S09 cities have reported 1,250,000 persons without homes and wandering about the country, of whom only 11 per cent, or! 115.000. arc boys under 21. Other estimates, made I previously, have placed the number at approximate ly 200,000. The appropriation act passed by the senate, if it becomes a law, will provide for SS.000 boys, an annual expense of $250 each, and' taking them off the glutted labor market will give them a year's education. State, town and city agencies arc ixpccted to care for thousands more, just as the Children's Aid society of New York city is doing, placing many on farms.—New York llerald-Tribune. _ - , , - - — - - — - - - - I Food for Thought - - By;KEN FERGUSON T _ . j Letters to the Editor All “Letters to the Editor” must bear either the signature or initials of the writer, the former being preferred. Be 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. Mr. Pulido’s Reply To the Editor of the Emerald: Sir: Although I did not write Major Back’s story as it appeared in Wednesday’s Emerald, I admit I am largely responsible for it. For this reason I am taking oc casion to comment on Dr. Harold J. Noble’s condemnation of said article. To begin with, Dr. Noble admits that Major Back said it would be better for the United States to' stay out of the league which is a "polite debating society dominat ed by the French.” This was the major’s answer to Reverend Pal mer's assertion that military men are against America’s joining the league and the world court. Yes, Major Back denied he was against the United State’s adhering to the world court, and this point was not mentioned in the story. But the more important thing is the major’s calling the league a debat ing society, so this was played up and quoted very accurately. In the second place. Dr. Noble admits that Major Back said that in Salem there is an institution for people of abnormal faith. This statement of the tnilitary officer was a quick reply to a law pro fessor's question whether the ma jor thought a nation could rely on its faith in another or not. This statement may have been intended for a joke but it certainly seemed to have carried with it a degree of sting. What if this should have been played up, too ? In the third place, Dr. Noble said that Major Back did not as sert the superiority of offense over defense. Point No. 2 of the five points brought forth by the major says, as quoted by the Register Guard: “Often the military offen sive is the most efficient defensive measures." How much difference between the two statements can the history professor find? We are all susceptible to mak ing mistakes anti r admit that Ma jor Back did not say "that war is an adjunct of economic progress." But as I understood, he said as his fifth point, “war occurs.” As to when, he did not say, but he left the impression that he meant war occurs in the course of the pro gress of nations. After having finished reading his dry lecture, the major was subjected to questioning by his hearers, mostly faculty members. It should be interesting to note that quite a number of those pres ent did not agree and could not agree with many points presented by the major on the international respects of disarmament. Maximo M. Pulido. Probation I p Again! To the Editor of the Emerald: Sir: There has been consider able discussion among my friends as to the apparent injustice in the scholarship committee's ruling on the cases of Kek McKean and Harry Schenk. Although having a higher average for the preceding term. McKean was not allowed to continue his basketball manager ship. but Schenk was allowed to retain his position as business manager of the Emerald. Is this an evidence of prejudice on the part of the committee or rvjf'TPi.v tpo^ rrfu! political aifiVi ! atiou-- of Mr. Schenk? t\ c do not doubt the ability of Mr. Schenk, for we assume that unless he was as competent as the average col lege business manager, he would not have been given any special consideration by the committee. However, many students, I feel, [ would welcome a more complete explanation of the apparent favor itism. I thoroughly approve of the in telligent and constructive manner in which the Emerald has carried on its campaign against an out moded political machine, and am especially interested in its at tempt to reduce the living ex penses of students.
