There is alwuys 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 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 problems in a workm inlike way, with a dis ciplined intellect, with a reasonable command of the techniques thut i re involved, with a high sense of in tellectual adventure, and with a genuine devotion to the ideals of intellectual integrity. . . —From the Riennial Report of the University of Oregon for 1931-82. The American people cannot be too careful in guarding the freedom of speech and of the press against curtailment as to the discussion of piddic affairs and the character and conduct of public men. —Carl Schurs. COMMENDATION FOR EMERALD PLAN! IT’S GETTING attention! Emergency measures need not be confined to national and international affairs. They frequently are as imperative on a college campus as in Wall street. And this is a time for emergency action of the most vigorous sort. Matter-of-fact dis patches from Washington tell how the national gov ernment is confronting the exigencies of the situa- ! tion. Etjually pertinent messages from Salem dis cuss the emergency moves of this commonwealth. From Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Madison everywhere comes news of deeds that are in ac cordance with the times. And no move Is more in keeping with current I conditions than the Emerald’s recent advocacy of a low-cost living plan for hard-pressed students. That it has gained favor is an incontrovertible fact. Faculty members, administrators, newspaper men, students all are united in agreeing that the estab lishment of the plan would be a distinct contribu tion to the future welfare of the University. This is a time for action. Nobody who holds down a cushion is going to get anywhere these days. Certainly we of the University, who read this morning bleak headlines telling of the ratifica tion of a half-million dollar reduction in higher edu cation appropriations, must realize that unparal leled exigencies confront us. Perhaps the Emerald plan seems radical to some, but what of it ? Franklin Roosevelt's recent bank ing moratorium decree was not a reactionary move. There were those who thought Lincoln was radical. British Tories said the same of Washington. The status quo meant nothing to Marshal Lafayette. So there need be no alarm if the Emerald proposal seems slightly out of the ordinary. Probably Iowa thought the same several months ago, but is enjoy ing gratifying success now. Every day there are new converts to the plan. The most important one to date was added last night when the Morning Oregonian, one of the na tion's foremost newspapers, commended the pro-' posal. A vast host of citizens read the following! from the Oregonian’s editorial page: "Students who are living on a total outlay of ! $8..rid a month have been discovered at University of Oregon by the student newspaper, Oregon Daily Emerald. The Emerald does not, however, present the figures as a triumphant illustration of how cheaply mi ' can subsist at Eugene, for the paper remarks upon the under-nourished appearance of the lads. For of the $8.00 monthly outlay, only S3 is spent for food. 1 he purpose of the Emerald a laudable pur- I pose i to point the need for establishing lower living costs at the University for those young people wh< are fighting with backs against' the wall to beat hard times and acquire an education. And not | content with pointing the need, the Emerald pre sents a plan P proposes that co-operative student units be established in dormitories now two-thirds vacant. "The plan is similar to one that has had en couraging succc.-. ,1 the University of Iowa. 11 calls lor a room and board bill around 811. in con trast with the 82t> now charged in dormitories, and l he $30 averaga assessment of fraternity and soror- i ity houses. Students joining in the enterprise1 would perform such hou.sehotd chores as waiting on table, cleaning house, kitchen policing; food1 based on a balanced menu devised by the home economies department would cost 81.at a week. "Naturally the food would not be fancy and the task; as.-igneil would be menial bn* t*’e 'ruits <>t the labor at participants would be an education, a goal for which some students are now making un supervised sacrifices of which broken health may be the outcome. The Emerald’s plan deserves en couragement.” OI K VERY OWN RACETRACK FTER dodging the racetrack drivers on Thir ■L *- teenth street for the last two weeks, we are getting weary of the Barney Oldfield tactics. As we regard with bleak eye the remainder of the term j in which we will have to practice Pavlovian agility in order to preserve our necks, we become wearier and wearier. It is bad enough to be forced to dodge the rick-: ety campus crates (apologies to the few slick fin ish roadsters) but the 50 mile an hour trucks are as difficult to avoid as a barn gone wild. The cam pus cars do not worry us for few of them can be urged into a greater excess than 30 miles an hour, at which speed we still feel able to cope with them. There have been several accidents on the cam pus in the last two years which can be traced di rectly to hit and run driving methods. The case of Ann Baum should be still fresh in the minds of Oregon students. At present our enrollment is small enough without crippling of the remainder. In order to guard against a day in which our suppleness will not equal the erratic driving on Thirteenth street, we have three suggestions to offer. First: That we build a tunnel bisecting the campus with entrances into all fraternities, sorori ties, and halls of residence. This plan has a defi nite advantage in that it will furnish employment for needy college students and provide shelter for rainy weather. Second: To build bridges over Thirteenth street at important crossings; say one at Condon, one at the Administration building, and another in front of the men’s gym. This plan would also provide employment, but bridges, we think, would somewhat spoil the beauty of our campus. Later on, how ever, Thirteenth street might be canalized, giving the University a Venetian touch. The third: Is to enforce existing city ordinances which provide a maximum speed limit of 25 miles an hour. We are inclined to believe that the third plan is the most feasible and practical, but it would undoubtedly be the most difficult to put into opera tion. THE DEAN HAS A WORD FOR IT WITH the call to action sounded by President Roosevelt echoing in our ears we turn with hope and anticipation to the promised "new deal.” We listened with glee to the thorough-going con demnation of financial and banking interests, and had our worst fears confirmed a scant 36 hours Iftter when the executive order eloping the banks of the nation hurtled through the ether. Reminiscent of the panic of 1907, when the fail ure of the Knickerbocker Trust company precipi tated commercial chaos, is our present situation. The recent senatorial investigation of New York j banking methods and "higher finance" has brought to light an unholy alliance between banks and their i investment affiliates, shaking the confidence of de positors and dealing a blow to the business life of the country. Those of us to whom the banking moratorium means just so much more "on the cuff” will regard the closed doors as another interesting incident in a hectic year. Those of us who have pondered the principles of money and banking so meticulously doled out by our authoritative instructors will be wont to speculate on the frenzied antics cf locking the barn after the horse has been stolen. Why the studied silence through golden years before the crash ? Why the tacit defense of "things ] as they were?” Must we shamefacedly admit that I our faculties were afraid to talk ? If such an ad-1 mission must be made there is ample defense of their caution. Bucking vested interests is hunting big game—-too big for our modest instructors. And discreet silence is the wiser if not more courageous course. Criticism of the existing order may disturb the boys downtown—or around the corner but if truth is to supplant propaganda, if knowledge is to out wit manipulation, if government is going to be ad- j ministered for the man in the street rather than for , the chaps who ptdl the strings, we must let our ! professors speak their piece. And as Dean Allen | so aptly put it last year, “we must remove the spectre of economic vulnerability,” that hangs high. May we suggest to the president that in his fight for the "forgotten man" he put in a lick for the “man who’s afraid to remember." WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE $250? J^OR A period of several years Mrs. Murray War ner has been offering valuable essay prizes to University of Oregon students in the belief that by so doing a greater interest in international rela-; tions, and a mote friendly attitude toward foreign j students on this campus, would be brought about. in a little more than a month’s time the deadline for another one of these valuable contests will be at hand. How many students by that time will have i avaded themselves of the opportunity to win prizes ranging from $250 down? The second prize is $50. The prizes for foreign students are $50 and $25. Certainly in such a time as the present, a chance to win such prizes as these is an opportunity that j any ai litious student should not overlook. No one! stands a chance to lose, for the knowledge gained | in the preparation of a paper is something that can j never be taken away. To be eligible, contestants1 must have taken one classroom course dealing with the history, economic and social problems or inter national relations of countries of the Far East. The essay could easily be a term paper for the class, or the material used would no doubt be sup-!* plementary to studying in conjunction with the course being pursued. It is to be hoped that when the judges close the doors to entries in the Murray Warner contest at I midnight April 7 that they will find a sufficient number of papers to give both themselves and Mrs. WIN IKK MODES FOR SERIN*. POOR /~\UR ATTENTION has been called to the worthy ^ work now being carried on by Mary Annin and the local chapter of the Red Cross. It is well to remember that springtime, like every other sea-! son in our fleeting- years, brings along with the sun shine and carefree spirit only further grief and sor- \ row to the countless destitute families of this! country. Any possible aid in the way of clothing, food, or other of life's essentials would undoubtedly be deeply appreciated by the county's indigent popu lation. Anything that might be of use will be! i.ailed tor upon pluming tin Red fro headquarters. By KEN FERGUSON A Race for Very Life!

To sum in a paragraph, then, what you will wear this spring; you will be trim and tailored; you will wear a three-quarter length swagger coat of wool over a wool like cotton or silk frock. You will wear a dashing Cossack cap with a streaking feather or you will wear a pancake hat slanting well down over your come-hither eyes. You will wear tennis dresses of linen or cotton fabric that have only straps over the shoulder or that tie with impudent bows. You will affect a lot of heavenly white and you will wear ruffly neck pieces, like the exquisite detach able lace collar of Betsy Steiwer’s. * * # You will wear tailored, mannish suits; you will wear slacks to star tle the populace (if you must star tle someone). You will garb your self in in organza (starched chif fon), organdy, or chiffon in the evening, and you will wear loudly screaming plaids all day and all night. This above all; it isn’t the num ber of clothes you have, but the quality; it isn’t only what you wear but how you wear it; it isn’t only your face, but how you en hance it; it isn’t only your figure, but how you carry it. * * * In making my aaieux, I wish to thank Dick Neuberger, editor of the Emerald; Ann Kistner, Nancy Suomela, Mrs. Mabel A.

CINEMA By BOB GUILD GIVE Jack Oakie just the right kind of a role and he's fine. Last night as the gum magnate of uptown New York he did quite well for the most part, speaking with a "refined Brooklyn accent," and letting his fists fall where they may, and only once in a while did he go soft on the patrons and take a crack at a little histrionics, which really aren’t quite in his line, though Wide World might think so. The story is billed as by Vina Delmar, and shows it all over it— it is the "simple story of a human girl,” and a boy who wise-cracked and' bull-headed his way into a modest sort of fortune in slot ma chines. Here and there the audience laughed very heartily indeed— sometimes at Oakie, sometimes at his drunken pal. Couple of stars. And this is at the Colonial. • * «• The McDonald is bursting out tonight with something that sounds as though it should actually Le good.
