The Emerald’8 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 un 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 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
und 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 1UJI-32.
The American people cannot be too careful in
guarding the freedom of speech and of the press j
against curtailment as to the discussion of public
affairs and the character and conduct of public i i
men. —Carl i>cliur3.

WAIT UNTIL NEXT TERM
NOW THAT the A. S. U. O. administration has
made another mistake In adhering to the re
quirements of its constitution, the advisability of |
attempting to vote upon the proposed constitutional i
amendments before the conclusion of this term;
looms as questionable strategy. We believe any \
such endeavor should be deferred until next quarter.
Tlie 11th hour attempt to rush through the changes,,
as now contemplated by the student administration,
is in keeping with neither the principles of sound
government nor executive efficiency.
The student officers have nothing to blame ex
cept their own neglect and carelessness that the |
amendments cannot bo voted upon this week. Had
last Friday's meeting been announced 2-1 hours in
advance, there would have been no delay and the
judiciary committee would not have been compelled
to spend several hours in executive session yester
day afternoon ruling null and void all business;
transacted at the illegal meeting.
True, the student body president was ill for sev
eral days before the meeting. But he is supposed
to have several other officers to assist him. The
constitution lists a vice-president, a junior finance
naan, a senior finance man, a secretary, a senior
man, and a senior woman. Surely one of them was
sufficiently hale and hearty to give notice of the
meet ing.
However, let bygones be bygones. These facts
are cited only to show that the student administra
tion has no excuse tor tailing' to call the meeting
according to constitutional requirements. The pro
visions were neglected so obviously that three such
experienced arbiters as Wayne L. Morse, Earl M
Pallet t, and Virgil D. Earl had no choice but to rule
the meeting unconstitutional.
Thus the administration stands at fault. Then
why penalize the student body by attempting to
rash through the amendments in the last few days
before examinations? There is neither precedent
dor logic behind such action.
When the amendments finally are to be voted
upon, students will be occupied in last-minute pre
parations for final examinations. The Emerald ends
publication for the term early next week, so there
will be no paper in which to concentrate and in
terpret student opinion and ideas on the matter.
Why should the amendments be passed this I
term? Even if the procedure of voting upon them
inteilet es slightly with student polities next quai •
ter. the world isn't going to come to an end. The
administration, now that it has precipitated tin I
enforced delay by its own negligence, owes it to the;
student body to make that delay slightly longer.
Our advice is to defer action upon the amend
ments until spring term. In the interlude the actual
reasons and purposes behind the changes cun be
presented to the students. This has not been done
as yet, although it generally is regarded as being !
ot material assistance to those who cast the ballots.
IMF * UiMK.II l ot Nil ATION ill MULLS
JN WAGING its vigorous campaign against any
*urthcr reductions of faculty salaries, the Finer-'
aid is not laboring under the delusion that economy!
m every branch of public activity i. uautcc ary.
Education must certainly make some retrench
ment along with other institutions supported by
the tax paying public. But its contribution should
be in line with the general economies practiced
and no greater proportionately.
In order to minimize the ill effects of the neces
sary economies the Carnegie foundation for the ad
vancement of teaching has three proposals. First,
that the economies practiced be general and to be
on expenditures of all kinds. Second, the reduction
of the type of courses offered by colleges when
similar courses are offered by more competent
neighbor institutions. Third, the adoption of a
“share the work" plan among faculty members
to provide maximum employment compatible with
curtailment of classes.
The voluminous report of the Carnegie founda
tion does not really solve anything at all. In the
very nature of things the economies practiced
would necessarily be general. Some saving might
be achieved by the abandonment of courses that
are duplicated at nearby colleges. In Oregon the
action of the state board of education has reduced
such duplication to a minimum.
The Emerald seriously questions the merits of
the third proposal of the Carnegie foundation, that
of a general reduction of salaries rather than eli
mination of departments and teaching personnel.
It si our contention that it is far better for an edu
cational institution to have fewer men of outstand
ing capacity than a greater number of mediocre
pedagogues who are retained because of sentimental
reasons. Any further general salary reductions
will mean that Oregon will lose the majority of
its outstanding educators.
■■ I, .. -
AND A TWO-OENT STAMP
/CAMPUS skeptics who scoffed at .the Emerald
proposal to reduce boarding costs to $1.54 a
week may be startled to learn that 23 University
of Iowa students have been keeping the wolf from
the door for the weekly sum of $1.52 apiece. And.
for another dollar a week they get the door to keep
the wolf from. Although they have cut 2 cents
below the Emerald estimate they still get three
square meals a day—and gain weight on them.
But it’s hard to startle campus skeptics. Even
the cheerless news that three Oregon students are
sticking it out on a weekly food budget of 74 cents
apiece arouses little comment among the bridge
experts and slot-machine sharks.
While to them grand-slams and top-notch scores
constitute “matters of state,” they give little heed
to the tough tussle their less fortunate friends are
making to stay in school. They are the campus
rah-rah boys who have imposed the “hotcha-cha”
stigma on the word collegiate, and made college
synonymous with coonskin coat and silver hip-flask.
They have been largely responsible for making
educational institutions over into social tea parties,
turning college bred into the classic four-year loaf.
To them, and their ilk, it’s considered quite the
thing to poke fun at any constructive effort to as
sist students who really desire an education—to
students who are willing to work for it.
Countless investigations have revealed that here
on the coast those students who must earn all or
part of their expenses achieve markedly higher
scholastic ratings than the knights of the coca
cola circle. While the state is indiscriminately
spending thousands of dollars providing four gay
years for campus playboys, perhaps the least we
could do is offer some constructive plan to lighten
the burden of living costs for those students who
really want an education.
Undoubtedly in the hysteria of inflation, the
schools, like trie colleges and universities, did some
things that they can now do without. But the
things that communities propose to do to them in
the hysteria of economy far surpass the wildest
aberrations of bull-market days. We hear a great
deal about frills. What are frills? Teachers' sal
aries appear to be frills in some cities. The health
of school children is a frill in others. Since night
schools are a frill in one community, we close them
and throw 75,000 people into the streets. The plain
fact is that the schools are under attack because
it is easier to get money from them than it is to
correct the fundamental iniquities and antiquities
of local government. Only a people that had no
conception of the place of education in its national
life could contemplate the ruin of th£ next genera
tion as the best remedy for governmental insol
vency. Robert Maynard Hutchins, president, Uni
versity of Chicago.

Causes of War
U. M. H. COCHRAN of tHo University of Mis
souri, in an article in the American Mercury,
sots forth the following causes of war;
(li To got into control at home; (2) to avoid
losing control at home; (3) to turn attention from
unsatisfactory conditions at home; (4i to enrich
themselves at home.
In other words, the blame is placed entirely up
on some group "at home" which is attempting to
maintain or increase its power and wealth.
But what is there new in that? Not a thing.
\\ e have always recognized these causes of war.
The only trouble with the American people is that
they recognize these forces at work in the other
countries but not in their own. And the only
trouble with the other countries is that they are!
capable of analyzing these forces in the United
States but not*within their own borders. So it goes |
throughout the whole world. Pei pies, through self- ■
interest either cannot or will not check powerful
political groups which lead them towards war.
I lie War of 1812, the Mexican war. anil the;
Spanisii-A merican war were struggles in which
considering only the causes we can take little;
pride. Out opponents were more guilty than we
wore, and possibly the resul's have justified the
lack of strict ethics, but the fact remains that the
American sentiment which made possible these
pui iicular wars spread throughout the nation from
some compact and interested group. The border
people were partly responsible m 1812, the south in ■
184t>. ind the yellow press had a hand in I8t>8. Yet
even in linse cases, we were much put upon by
tho.-c we finally fought, and it is difficult to see
how we could have acted otherwise, unless, possibly,
it was in the controversy with Spain. That country !

While Oregon Waits --- Iowa Acts
(Editor’s note: The following is
reprinted from the news bulletin
of the University of Iowa. It
proves more conclusively than
ever the validity of such a plan as
the Emerald proposes for Oregon.)
TPO THE list of pioneer ventures
representing man's ingenious
response to economic necessity add
Kellogg house, a 1933 model of
cooperative dormitory at the State
University of Iowa. '
Operating as a club, which im
plies pleasant social life as well as
the equal sharing of expenses,
Kellogg house is now the home of
23 college men who have given
Jjpwa a new all-time record of
?roup success in reducing the costs
of higher education.
When Iowa was still one of the
frontier states with high hopes but
little wealth, the state university
Announced in its catalogue that
'the price of board varies from $2
to $3 per week.” Seventy years
later, the men of Kellogg house,
Ander the guidance of their own
ingenuity, are getting three good
square meals a day at an average
3ost of $1.52 per week. A still
stronger comparison can be made
oy citing the fact that during the
/ears of inflation following the
world war the average cost of
board went as high as $6 per
week.
The university furnishes the
building, equipment, heat, light
And water and charges room rent
At the rate of $1 per week per
nan. This means that $45.36 will,
pay the total cost of room and
Poard for an entire semester.
Many factors enter into the
Amazing record of Kellogg house
which shines even in comparison
with the state's and the univer
sity's pioneer days before the civil
war. Certainly the first of these
is the revival among American
.ollege students of the same old
lefiant. untamable resourcefulness
if the true pioneer. It is no mod
ern economic, scientific or tech
nological scheme which explains
the success of the students in Kel
logg house.
Plenty for Your Money
You can buy a lot for a dollar
nowadays. But what good does
that do you if you haven’t the
foliar? This is only one of the
problems that Kellogg house faced
And solved. Several of its boys

ants had food materials in abun

Agers of Kellogg house. And so
Ancient barter capie in to play its
role. It was agreed that only the
wholesale price should apply in
such cases. Potatoes came, . . .
Apples . . . fresh butchered beef
And pork . . . yes, chickens. One

Every member works at Kellogg
louse. The low room rent is made
possible by the fact that no hired
iclp whatsoever is necessary. The
x>ys tend the furnace, sweep and
'lean, make the beds, wash the
windows. And all this is a glori
ms venture, not in any sense a
lardship.
Their Own Expert looks
When it comes to cooking, tlie
dub members use their experts
•xclusively. One of them has had
vide experience and he presides
i head ebrf PuK-taiitij! food
taturaliy holds an important place
but variety is emphasized. None
of the old boarding house tradition
at this club. Today—here’s fresh
country sausage. Tomorrow —
children (stewed this time because
it goes much farther that way).
Next day—two of the boys have
promised to go hunting again, and
that means rabbit. The boys are
proud of their meals and enjoy en
tertaining student and faculty
guests occasionally.
One day turnips appeared on the
menu and made a big hit. The
head steward had bought them for
25 cents a bushel. Vegetables of
all kinds are served frequently for
two reasons—they are cheap, and
every good cook knows they are
great promoters of health. It’s a
matter of record (and Kellogg
house can give you statistics if
that’s what you want) that every
man has gained weight since the
opening of the club last fall.
The building, pleasantly located
on a wooded knoll, was originally
constructed as a public school. It
became university property with
the extension of the campus to the
west side of Iowa river. By slight
remodeling it was transformed
into a dormitory for men with the
opening of school last fall.
A new cement floor, now being
laid, will permit the moving of the
kitchen and dining room to the
basement and this in turn will re
lease first floor space for dor
mitory rooms. It will then be pos
sible to accommodate a much
larger number of men.
"Last summer,” says Robert E.
Rienow, dean of men, “we realized
that there were many boys who
were going to have to earn their
room and board if they were to go
to school. It was just as apparent
that there were not going to be
enough jobs. An inexpensive co
operative dormitory seemed the
only solution.”
Inspection of available space in
the university showed a room in
the Iowa Field house where 12
student firemen and nightwatch
men had once slept. It seemed
conceivable that with some
changes set-ups could be arranged
and a cooperative dormitory start
ed. As a result, the long room
above the offices in the east end
of the field house is now the col
lege home of 75 men who pay $1
a week room rent.
Applications for admittance to
the field house dormitory were
many, and soon exceeded the
available accommodations. Anoth
er checkup brought the Kellogg
building into the dormitory group, j
Board Idea Develops
-At about the same time it was
reported to Dean Rienow that
three boys were eating their
lunches in the dormitory at the
field house. The dean made in
quiry and was told by the boys
that they were trying to spend
only 25 cents a day for food, that
they were living on sandwiches
and milk. There was really no
place else for them to go. But it
is an evident truth that a student
cannot live on sandwiches and
milk alone and keep up his health
and his classwork. Further ques
tioning disclosed the fact that one
of the men had earned his board
last year by cooking for a pro
fessor's family. His recommenda
tions were good.
"Are there some dishes and a
cookstove around the university?”
asked Dean Rienow of the supei
intendent of grounds and build
ings. Both were found. They had
been used in Die old universits
hospital. The stove was set up
and Kellogg house was ready to
offer both board and room. The
boys in Kellogg house who could
buy their food at regular prices
or who had board jobs moved to
the field house. The three men
in the field house dormitory who
were spending 25 cents a day for
meals moved to Kellogg house. j
About this time a restaurant
closed and three university boys ;
lost their board jobs. They moved I
into the new dormitory. Another i
restaurant laid off two men. A
local hotel changed hands and dis- !
charged three boys. So by ones
and twos and threes, new boys
moved into Kellogg house. Each
case was carefully investigated by
Dean Rienow. Only those who ab
solutely could not pay regular
board and room rates were ad
mitted.
Becomes a Keal Club
"But we don’t want Kellogg |
house to be recognized as a cheap
dormitory for those who have no
money,” Dean Rienow explained.
"We want it to be thought of
more as a club in spirit, as a group
of men drawn together by their
congenial interests, those of going
to school and of supplying their
living needs as cheaply as possible.
Because the men who live there
are aware of this and because of
the success of the project, I feel
sure that Kellogg house will be. re
tained from year to year.”
Frederic Beebee, graduate stu
dent, serves Kellogg house in the
double capacity of proctor and
business manager. Explaining the
low rate successfully maintained
by the club, Mr. Beebee said: "We
buy bread wholesale, milk by the
gallon, cheaper cuts of meat. We
shop around and learn the stores
where certain articles of good j
quality are cheapest. We buy at'
special sales.”
Here is a sample menu picked
at random from the bulletin board
in the kitchen at Kellogg house:
BREAKFAST
Oatmeal Toast
Prunes Coffee or Milk
i LUNCH
Creamed Beef on Potatoes
Turnips Carrot Salad
Chocolate Pudding
Bread and Butter
Coffee or Milk
DINNER
Meat Pie
Harvard Beets Fried Potatoes
Baked Apples Bread and Butter
Coffee or Milk
This is a fair sample of the
meals for a day and no two days
ate alike: yet the average cost has
been kept down to $1.52 a week.
A regular schedule of jobs has
been worked out, the same boy do
ing the same work all the time. At
5 o'clock one boy gets up to fix
the furnace and start a roaring
fire in the range. Another gets
up early to fix the fruit and
cereal, another to prepare the j
toast and coffee for the 7 o'clock
breakfast. (Everyone must get up
at 6:45 as breakfast is not served
after 7:20. t Another boy waits on
the table. Four men clean up the
dishes and the room: everyone is
ready for 8 o'clock classes.
The duties during the day are
arranged in accordance with class;
schedules. From S to 9 one boy
prepares potatoes and other veget
ables and at 10 the cook arrives
and begins definite preparations
for lunch. The menu for the week
is posted on a bulletin board in
the kitchen. Two more men arrive
at 11 At 12.10 lunch is served)
at the long table. The same boy
waits tables. Three clean up af
terwards.
Man-Slied Evening Meal
The evening meal is the big meal
of the day. At 4 o’clock four men
start the dinner preparations. The
clean-up necessitates five men this
time. Then one boy fixes the wood
for the next day and scrubs.
On weekday evenings, study hall
reigns from 7 to 10. Two of the
men are study hall supervisors.
“And it is really quiet,” asserted
Mr. Beebee.
Kellogg hduse has a constitu
tion. It provides for the election
at the end of each semester of a
senate composed of four men. In
the election everyone is eligible to
vote for four representatives and
the highest four compose the sen
ate. The person who receives the
largest number of votes is house
president. In addition there are
scholastic, table, dormitory, ath
letic, social, and judiciary com
mittees composed of three mem
bers each. House meetings are
held every other Sunday evening.
The personnel of Kellogg house
includes five graduate students,
two boys in engineering, two in
the college of medicine, two upper
classmen in the college of liberal
arts, and the others liberal arts
freshmen. The association of the
older and younger men gives the
club an excellent social and acad
emic balance.
The field house dormitory organ
ization is very similar to that of
Kellogg house. The set-ups are
the same. Everything must be
kept clean and attractive, and in
spection is provided for within the
organization. There is a study hall,
and study hours and quiet are
rigidly enforced. There is a sen
ate. The work is divided into
groups of six. Two care for the
dormitory, two for the lavatory,
and two for the study hall.
Eastlawn is now a cooperative
dormitory for women. Seventy
two students reside there at pres
ent. The cooperative plan en
ables girls to earn one-half the
cost of their board. This requires
an hour and a half of service each
day for each girl.
Big Success at Iowa
The plan of cooperative dormi
tories is being carried out in sev
eral schools this year. Recently
another middle-western university
announced that food and quarters
in a men’s cooperative dormitory
would be offered for $28 a month.
Another nearby university has
found its cooperative dormitory to
cost the students more than if
they roomed in a private house.
At Iowa’s Kellogg house, how
ever, men are successfully running
the cooperative dormitory on less
than $50 a semester for both room
and board. As the end of the first
semester draws near, their experi
ence to date has given them high
morale and real enthusiasm for
the months which are to follow.
They have abundant health, pleas
ant campus activities as individu
als and as a group, excellent
scholastic standing, and pride in
the success of their venture.

CINEMA
By PARKS HITCHCOCK
rpHE McDonald puts on a very
choice bit again this evening
with the production of “Washing
ton Merry-Go-Round.” In it are
Lee Tracy and Constance Cum
mings. Really, this is saying
enough, but we might go on to
mention that their customary good
performances are realized again.
The plot is what we would ex
pect Comrade Stalin or the Bet
ter Government league to put on.
but it's slightly melodramatic
j touches are redeemed by excellent w
acting. Alen Dinehart is just a ’
touch too suave and villainous, but
the chap who plays the part of the
befuddled old senator counteracts
any deadening effects we might
have felt.
Of course, it’s all about Wash
ington and the bold, bad, political
rings plus the young congressmen
who comes to oust the same politi
cal machine that put him into of
fice, but it’s marvelously well
! treated; we assure you of this.
' This young lady named Constance
i Cummings is not only a luscious
I bit upon which to rest your eyes
j but she has that sensible yet chic

knows what to expect.
