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 an end. There is always a glowing sense of satisfaction in the natural impulse for expansion. This frequently Icnda 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 u 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 1931-32. The American people cannot be 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 men. —Carl Schurs. AREOPAG1TICA jj’Ort THE past two terms the Emerald has print ed the facts as it saw them. It will continue to do so in the one term remaining this school year. It also reserves the privilege to comment upon these facts as it sees fit. Despite the protest of organized minorities, whose selfish ambitions may be thwarted or gain ful plans foiled by the publication of the facts, the Emerald will continue to print and interpret the truth. It is glad it has done so in the past; it is glad there is opportunity to do so in the future. Those iD disagreement with this doctrine can quar' rcl with the facts, not with the Emerald. In thfc words of John Milton’s noblest passage: “And though all the winds of doctrine were le„ loose to play upon the earth, so Truth be in the field, we do injuriously by licensing and prohibiting to misdoubt her strength. Let her and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the worse, it a, free and open encounter? Her confuting is the best and surest suppressing.” IN STEP WITH THE TIMES T AST night's dance or next week's social calcu dar may be important matters of small talk, but their triviality becomes glaringly conspicuous when we consider the gigantic maelstrom of events that whirls about us. Chapters are being added to the annals of history even as we concern ourselves with the humpty-dumpty affairs of our own narrow corridor of life. These are stirring times. Europe is poised on the brink of Armeggedon. War flames in the Orient. America struggles to maintain its financial struc ture. We are fortunate to be young so that we may profit by the knowledge of the mistakes and attain ments of our ciders in this world crisis. But we must be alert to what is going on. We should read the newspapers and we should be sufficiently ■ informed to analyze the cause and effect of what we read. We must get our faces out of coke glasses and our hands and minds off cards and dancing long * enough to become keenly aware of the progress of the world. These are eventful hours and he who spends them dancing and carousing is little less than a fool. Let us just consider what has hap pened in the fleeting days since the Emerald last was published. A new president has taken command with deci-' sive vigor, lie has led the nation through a pro-! longed financial moratorium. He has ordered the i return of beer and the eliminating of a major part j of appropriations for war veterans. Japan ha., continued its attacks in the Far East.' It: representatives have outlined their reasons fur withdrawing from the League of Nations. Tolerance has been forgotten and terrorism in-' .-tilied by the imperious advent of a dictator iu Germany. A man who rose from the coal mines to tbc1 mayoralty of Chicago uas died, victim of an assas sin's bultets. Countless other cieatj ol .teat wigniLsauce, too] numerous to mention here, also have occurred. They are a challenge to us to prepare ourselves for the herculean task of carrying on in the future. The places to begin that preparation are the classroom, tfee library and the silence of our own considered thoughts. The ballroom and the card-table are not the cradles in which greatness and ambition are nurtured. Lincoln and Washington and LaFayette and Jefferson and their immortal legion never owed their leadership to social graces It was due to knowledge and character and intelligence. Let us remember that. A WELL-CONSIDERED MOVE THE CHAIRMAN of the sophomores’ annur.: beard-growing contest has said no attempt wii bo made to coerce students into participating Hi wise in making such an announcement. In th* past numerous unpleasantries have arisen over the rather pathetic efforts of self-appointed bullies tw | force students to go about with beards. Such antics J -v>®reiy give the University a bad name and msr.ui uiowoeatmg tenaencies in one group or stuaents and indignation and righteous anger in another. Coercion in connection with a beard-growing contest—at best a trivial affair—merely would serve to deprive the contest of whatever chances for success it might have. In previous years the campus bullies have awaited the beard-growing contest as an opportunity to do some first-tlass bullying, with ample protection. Bullies require pro tection. Otherwise they would not be bullies. That this evil will be removed this year is encouraging. It is relatively unimportant and of not much con sequence, but it signifies a trend to abandon detri mental anachronisms. Further activity in this direction will be of definite service to the Univer sity. ENCOURAGEMENT FOR NEEDY STUDENTS r|~'HE DECISION of the chancellor to appoint a committee to investigate living costs on the campus is encouraging. With his assured support, the possibility that needy students will receive sub stantial assistance in the formation of cooperative living groups becomes a definite reality. In deter mining to name a group for that purpose, Dr. Kerr has shown a fine knowledge of, and kindly sym pathy with, student needs and requirements. The fact that Dr. Kerr noticed as many as 700 | students doing their own tasks at colleges he in vestigated indicates that he will not restrict num bers in ordering his committee to assist students wishing to organize cooperative groups. All needy scholars will be helped by the chancellor's ap pointees. In these trying times, when financial exigencies <ire the rule rather than the exception, such a com mittee as Dr. Kerr plans will be an emphatic con tribution to the welfare of the University. On Other Campuses Leading College Dailies Look at Economy rPHE LEGISLATIVE economists in the state cap -*■' itols along the coast have energetically hacked of fhuge pieces of appropriations from the already thin budgets of their institutions of higher learning during the past two months. While we at Washington have been engrossed in preventing a budget cut greater than 28 per cent under the appropriation for the past biennium and in killing the effort to set a maximum limitation on faculty salaries, the state-supported universities in our neighboring states of Oregon and California have been waging battle with their own state legis lators. The collegiate press has taken the lead in de nouncing radical and indiscriminate budget slashes proposed in the legislatures. Here's an interesting glance at various editors' views of higher education economy. # sit ♦ (From the University of Oregon Emerald) Jj’ROM the days of the old Northwest ordinance down to our present time, thei^ has been no theory imbedded more deeply in American ideals than that education is one of the primary functions of gov.ernment and therefore deserving of a high degree of priority in any program of distributing funds or any reverse program of proportioning the degree of retrenchment among competing public activities. This fact is incontrovertible. Because of it, one might expect thut retrenchments in education would show a smaller percentage than in any other function of governmental activity not so funda mental nor so deeply intrenched iu the very foun dations of American life. Yet, this most certainly has not been the case. Higher education has suf fered greater reductions than highways, for ex ample. Men who have worked and studied almost a de cade to acquire the knowledge necessary to their profession are teaching classes for pay at which a skilled day-laborer would scoff. Yet, over the heads of these men tower vast "temples of learning," buildings that cost ten-thousand times a profes sor’s salary to erect. The incongruity of the con dition is apparent immediately. * * * (From the Oregon State College Barometer) 1 CAN ONE side Chancellor Kerr and E. C. Sam-, mons, chairman of the finance committee of the state board of higher education, have been | fighting to save the institutions from the destruc- ‘ tion certain to result from further curtailment. On the other hand this subcommittee of five legislators with what seems to be stubborn prejudice refuses to recognize that the budget submitted by the board U nil honest, minimum budget and wish to inflict still more reductions to those which already have reached 32 per cent of the 1929-SO biennium, j * * * (From the University of Southern California I Daily Trojan) TN PROPOSED legislation now up for considera-' -*• non before the California legislature all the con structive work for which far-seeing educators have worked for many years is doomed to be abolished in one mad cost-slashing jag. Under the guise ot cutting down taxes, the bills are cleverly designed so that big real estate holders and corporations will be able to escape the necessity of paying out some of their large profits to educate the children of their workers. Many of the measures place the school tax reducing program almost directly in the hands of big business so that they may ruin young people's chances of enlightenment a; much uj the" v wu—'a.hmgton Daily. The Home Stretch - - By STANLEY ROBE I The Oregon State System of Higher Education (This is one of a series of articles describing the various schools and I departments under the system put into effect at the start of the current I college year by the state board of higher education.) Forestry, Pharmacy and Law ^ALEM, April 3.—-(Special)— ^ Three degree granting schools in Oregon’s reorganized higher education set-up remain practical ly unchanged by the unification plans of the board of higher edu cation. Organization and person nel of the law school at Eugene and the schools of forestry and pharmacy at Corvajlis will func tion about as usual on their re spective campuses. The school of forestry, organized in 1910, continues in tact on the Corvallis campus under the lead ership of Dean George W. Peavy, who was brought here from the federal forest service in Califor nia to organize the school and who has been its executive head throughout the 22 years. Curricula offerings are identical with those of last year, giving the student a choice of specializing in technical forestry, logging engineering or lumber manufacture. The University law school, rated Class A by the American Bar as sociation and the American Asso ciation of Law Schools, continues its work on the same high plane offering the following three ma jor curricula; a five-year course leading to an LL.B. degree; a six year course leading to a J.D. de gree and a ^six-year combination business administration and law or social science and law course leading to a J.D. degree. The pro fessional law training is taken in the final three years of these courses, while the basic prepara tion can be secured in the new two year lower division set-up which is located on both the Eugene and Corvallis campuses. The third year of pre-law work for the two six year law curricula is located on the Eugene campus. # * * Dean Wayne L. Morse, who came to Oregon in 1929 and was elevat ed to the deanship last year, is at the head of the law school. Dur ing the past 10 years 95 per cent of the graduates have passed the state bar examination, while last year 100 per cent qualified. All of the work of the school of pharmacy has been continued on the Corvallis campus identically as it has in the past, under the direc tion of Dean Adolphe Ziefle, who came to Oregon State in 1914 as head of the department of phar macy which was established in 189S. It was made a school in 1917. * # * Graduates of the school of phar macy are eligible to take the ex amination for registration of the Oregon state board of pharmacy. Certificates in this state qualify them to practice in all other states except California and New York without further examination. The school qualifies its students for about 50 fields of work open to pharmacists and in addition gives good basic training for medicine, dentistry and nursing. All three of these schools have ttieir own buildings on their re spective campuses with all neces sary facilities for efficient Instruc tion. While no changes have Wen made in either the pharmacy or forestry schools at Corvallis. Dean Peavy and Dean Ziefle both re port that the training will lie strengthened, especially for grad uate work, by the addition of the major work, in science on the cam pus. Although course offerings m *ke three schools have not been changed, substantial budget reduc tions have been made in addition to salary decreases. «i lit sfs Following is the personnel as announced by the board: School of forestry: George W. Peavy, dean and director; logging engineering, H. R. Pattersqn, pro fessor; F. • J. Schreiner, J. K. Brandeberry and Paul Thompson, instructors. Technical forestry— T. J. Starker, professor; E. G.

Yet it is no earthly reason why so many women should strike a pose and air their superficial charms at large. I am speaking especially of that stratum of women which seeks to obtain the illusion of some famous or merely well advertised woman and develop this illusion in public. My thumbs invluntarily turned • down at the College Side the other I night. It was a week night and was near closing time. Two young women, University girls, saun tered in the door in long dress clothes, jewelry, and accessories pertinent to evening wear. They formed a decided contrast to the students in other booths, rather bedraggled and careless after an evening with their books (early term determination in evidence). •* * The newcomers, in strict con formity with the Hollywood tab loids, struck an attitude, raised their eyebrows an inch, and slid into a booth. The next scene nursed my con tempt to maturity. They produced cigarettes and performed the most divarsified smoking tricks I ever have witnessed. With well devel oped nonchalance, smoke was shot and twirled and rippled, in single and double columns, in all direc tions. Their lashes dropped and their ear-rings twinkled at every male observer. They seemed to be saying: “We are the essence of woman, strange, uirintelligle, and exotic. We have a cloud of illusion about us. Men’s imaginations leap into deeds of valour for us. Our charms are treasures. We are immortal women." # % * Involuntarily I thought: "We are women whose art lies in the make-up box, whose dreams are adoration, and whose future is regeneration." Imagine a situation, an ideal state of affairs wherein a real psycho-analyst would be employed to walk the campus and snatch away the decorative curtains from individuals like those two wpmen. How delightful it would be to see them as pure specimens. Of course, it would be tragic in diplomatic intrigues and in love affairs wherein one member being divested of his outward charms is divested of almost everything. * $ * Yet, how much more interesting and simple to walk through the campus, look a man straight in the face and mutter, “Half Brain," without the usual methods of com plex analyses.
