The Emerald's Creed for Oregon
**.... There Ih 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 :n themselves, whereas the
truth is that these various appearances of growth and
achievement enn be justified only in so far us they
make substantial contribution to the ultimate objec
tives of education . . . . >o >v(ding adequate spiritual
and Intellectual training for youth of today—the citi
zenship of tomorrow. . . .
•*.... The University should bo a place where
classroom experiences and faculty contacts should stimu
late and train youth for the mast 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 : re involved, with a high sense of in
tellectual adventure, and with .1 genuine devotion to the
ideals of intellectual integrity. . . ."—From the Biennial
Report of the University of Oregon for 11)31-32.
, The American people cannot he 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
tnen. —Carl Schurs.
ACTION—THAT’S WHAT WE WANT!
A PLAN to keep financially embarrassed students
in college has been presented to the University
of Oregon. The Emerald feels that it has rendered
a valuable service in doing so.
In these times we must face the facts. That is
what the Emerald has done In offering its proposal.
We are not living under ordinary conditions now.
These are perilous times and they demand drastic
action. No drastic action is more imperative to
the maintainance of tire University at its present
standard than the establishment of the Emerald
plan.
Enrollment is declining ‘steadily. The dormi
tories are almost two-thirds empty. Students are
living literally from hand to mouth in an effort
to stay in school. Parents arc making unheard-of
sacrifices to give their children educational oppor
tunities.
Something must be done.
The Emerald plan is the answer.
Some say it is not necessary to open dormitories
to the needy students. “Let them live out in
groups," say the scoffers. That is what some stu
dents are doing. And they pay a month for
food and almost twice that much for rent. Ask tt
doctor about such an arrangement. He'll probably
say some things that won't bear repeating.
There is one solution to the entire dilemma the
Emerald plan. Its establishment would be a boon
to the University of Oregon. It has been placed
before the authorities. It is now up to them to in
vestigate tiie feasibility and practicability of adopt
ing it.
And now wt need action. Let's have it.
UUEAT I.1KEKAE MAI SPEAK
T INCOLN STEFFENS, one of the most popular
lecturers in the country, lots been invited’to
speak on the campus. Oregon will be exceedingly
fortunate if lie can be persuaded to stop over on
his way home to Cirmel, Cal.
Mr Steffens is one of the outstanding liberals
of the day. His investigation of graft in commer
cial and political circles has led to numerous re
forms. Hi arraignment of the present industrial
and political order is brilliant and witty, ills topic
“Education in the Changing World," provides a
background for debate on one of the most contro
versial topics ot the day. He has received glow
ing praise from that courageous author, Upton
Sinclair.
We appreciate the liberal attitude of the Univer
sity lecture committee in its attempt to engage
Mr. Steffens. Many state universities are prone to
regard liberal speakers with distrust, feeling that
the so-called stigma of "radicalism" carries with it
the coiuiotaUoil of the rtet uf the iota. . At a
time when the entire country Is calling for drastic
economic and political legislation, his lecture should
prove one of the most worthwhile events of the
year.
FREEDOM OF THE COLLEGE PRESS
Truth is God's Daughter—Old Spanish Proverb.
THOSE who maintain the antiquated phobia
that faculty or student body officials can con
trol the editorial policy of a college newspaper
should peruse carefully the resolution recently pre
pared by the National College Tress association. It
deals the loudest smack ever dealt to the busy
bodies who continue to uphold the shibboleth that
a student publication is a sounding-board for cen
sored stories and not a womb for opinion and
thought.
The resolution, in part, follows:
“Whereas in some instances college faculties
and executives have exercised an extreme censor
ship, be it resolved that the National College Press
association advocate complete freedom of the col
lege press from any censorship or editorial control
by the faculty administration, student body offi
cials, or any other authority beside the student edi
torial board of the publications.”
Thus has the N. C. P. A. at last laid down the
law to the hush-hush meddlers who work in the
dark and fear the spotlight of publicity and the
statement of the truth. And no mistake should be
made about the origination of the resolution. It
was inspired not by those who worded it and passed
upon it, but by ever-increasing demand of the
American people for the truth.
This great nation wants no walls between it
and the facts. Where an entire college editorial
board could be turned upside down surreptitiously
five years ago without even one protest being
raised, the voice of the press and the people rises
in a mighty well of wrath today. The public wants
the truth told in its colleges. Intimidation and
threatening of college editorial writers no longer
will be tolerated by the American citizens and the
newspapers who represent them.
The resolution of the N. C. T. A. was an ulti
matum for a gradually diminishing group that
which fears the truth. That it is diminishing cannot
be denied. The resolution and the facts which in
spired it are sufficient evidence.
Taken by and large, the action of the association
was a forward step, one which war. not nearly so
imperative as it might have been half a decade ago,
but a symbol of liberalism and advancement, never
theless.
A WORTHY PROJECT
/CAMPUS interest in the newer books cf the day
has been stimulated by the reduced rates in
effect at the Co-op circulating library, student
owned enterprise.
The little library, housed in the upper floor of
the Co-op, has achieved a tremendous popularity.
All the latest volumes, fiction or non-fiction, may
be obtained. To Miss Dorothy Roberts and Marion
F. McClain goes the credit for the enterprise.
This type of service not only heightens the stu
dent opinion for the students’ store, but spreads the
seeds of education outside the classroom.
The furtherance of enterprises such as the Co
op circulating library is also the furtherance of
true educational interests.
Glen Godfrey, Colonial theatre manager, said re
cently that he hoped the Emerald plan was adopted
by the fall. “With such cheap board and room,”
Mr. Godfrey remarked, “there should be more
money lefL over for theatre admissions. I also am
willing to permit students who are hard-pressed to
sleep in our luges, provided they furnish their own
blankets.”
Oregon Aggies, new champions, now have quite
a game on their hands. Southern California should
prove a mouthful for the valiant and dashing hold
ers of the highest gonfalon in the basketball diadem
from Corvallis.
True valor lies in the mind, the never-yielding
purpose, nor owns the blind award of giddy fortune.
—Thomson.
The Ohio experiment station advises farmers
that a portable burner is useful in cleaning up
orchards.
Two roadside markets to every three miles of

in 1982.
Contemporary
=Opinion—
Give Them u Chance
\ RE THERE not a lot of jobless who are eager to
be given a chance to prove their indepen
dence ?
Jobless folks showed that very strongly at Cen
tralia, Washington. There are 50 families of them.
They have, with a little assistance, worked their
way out of the depression and are now fully self
supporting.
There are 50 families in the colony. A logging
company set aside 1,000 acres of logged-ol'f land amt
sold it to the jobless at a nominal price.
The project was launched early in 1932, and
today, says a news story, "each member of the
i colony is self-supporting.”
The first task was clearing the land of stumpage
and preparing the soil for crops. Small houses were
built, some of cedar shakes made from logs on the
■ land.
\ co-operative shingle mill was erected, in which
shingles were exchanged for labor. Out of the plan.
I the "50 families are making a comfortable living
ami are independent," says the news story.
At Salem the legislators have not been keen for
planning a back-to-the-land program of emergency
> relief. Manhood, these legislators seem to think, is
' so broken and beaten that a jobless family can t
survive out on the land.
Doesn't it room a false assumption" Has Ameri
can m inhood become so dependent on pressing but
I tons, turning faucets, buying bread already baked
and opening cans that the old Oregon pioneer
spirit is gone and our men resourceless and licked
i animals ?
It can't be so. There are men as strong and
militant and as go-get-'em in purpose as men ever
were. And if our jobless are given a chance to got
back on the land through the Dorothy Lee and
other bill a lot ol them will prove it.—Oregon

IT IS NOW generally recognized

If we might be allowed to ex
press our theory of dress, it would
be this: glorify the human bod>
lather than try to conceal it. Don’t
try to exaggerate the shouldei
line; leave the waist where youi
creator put it; don’t make the
thighs look like either side of a
board fence.
* * Si
Lingerie, to our way of thinking
shouldn’t be worn to give a flat
look to the situation; rather it
should be worn to mold the figure
to one fluent line . The curving
line, you see, should be continu
ous, not broken up into a series
of sharps and flats, highs and
lows.

of the major tragedies of purchas

Bystander. .
By KIRKE SIMPSON
W/ASHINGTON, March 3 (API
” ‘‘But we can never tell, of
course, what that senate may do,”
observed that Tennessee veteran,
Senator McKellar, just a few min
utes after that body had started
the prohibition repeal resolution
on its way by the surprising vote
of 63 for and 23 against.
He was not referring to that ac
tion: but to his expectation, later
realized, that a bill carrying an
nual appropriations for great gov
ernment departments, state, jus
tice, commerce and labor, could be
whipped through the senate in
about two hours. Knowing his sen
ate by long experience, however,
j McKellar modified his prediction.
Yet the senator might well have
looked backward to the prohibi
1 tion repeal action to support his
| view. That action fairly staggered
! press gallery observers.
None would have predicted even
that morning that so decisive a
vote would be rolled up on the all
but naked question of submitting
flat prohibition repeal • to the
states. Of all the solid rank of
house members fringing the senate
walls as the roll was called, of all
the folks in the jammed galleries
for any hint of action about pro
hibition has been the greatest gal
lery lure for either house proba
bly not a handful expected any
thing like so definite a result.
* * *
What lay behind it? What
prompted the anti-repealer filibus
ter. launched so stoutly by Sena
I tor Sheppard, father of the dry
amendment, to bog down so quick
ly? That left Sheppard and the
thinned ranks of the “dry" wing of
the senate, so long in undisputed
control, registering nothing but
their own negative votes to stay
the rush toward passage of the
j resolution.
| The Bystander found some well
posted onlookers afterwards who
thought they sensed in that final
vote a reaction from the attempt
to assassinate President .- elect
Roosevelt. They could not explain
just why any senator should per
I mir hi. vote tv be influenced by 'u
remote a happening as that, yet
insisted the glaring headlines over
the Miami news did have some psy
chological place in the picture.
Whatever the impelling causes,
however, a dramatic moment came
and went in the senate so swiftly
that it was hardly comprehended
in the galleries. Robbed of last mo
ment oratory to stir them up once
the senate started its succession
of roll calls leading to final action,
gallery partisans, wet or dry, made ;
no sound when the result was an
nounced. The ripples of handclap
ping that have, for years, despite !
senate rules, marked high points
in every prohibition debate, were
notably lacking.
^ Sit S;S
From the hour of the vote count
ing in the house that first day of
the session when a mere handful
of votes stood'in the way of adop
tion of the prohibition repealer by
the necessary majority there has
always been the thought that be
fore it adjourned the house might
vote again and put it through.
That has tempered all speculation
about the subject, and made the
senate the hub of discussion Am
ple parliamentary means existed
there for an unbreakable minority
blockade even had that minority
been far smaller than the vote in
dicatede.
As McKellar said, nobody, least
of all a senator, knows what the
senate will do.
