The Emerald’s Creed for Oregon
**.... There la 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 in themselves, whereas the
truth is that these various appearances of growth and
achievement can lx* 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 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.

affairs and the character and conduct of public
men. —Carl bchurs.

NEW TEXT BOOKS
ON BEHALF of the students of the University,
considerable discretion and good judgment
should be exercised by faculty members in selecting
text-books for the 1933-34 schbol year. As has
been reiterated on countless occasions, these are
not ordinary economic times, and even the dollar or
so additional that a new text costs is a heavy bur
den on numerous students whose families are bear
ing financial loads they scarcely can carry.
We hesitate to advise against the addition of
any new texts at all. Such a policy would be pdhny
wise and pound foolish, because in some instances
circumstances and the changing of the status quo
have so altered ideas and purposes that the use ol
an old book would nullify the advantage of a
course. But, while it is absolutely essential to
require new volumes when they are imperative,
professors should not be so punctilious and arbi
tral y that they will insist on the sixth edition of a
current text when the fifth would serve just as
well.
The problem calls for judgment and care. It is
to be hoped that the faculty will take into con
sideration the financial difficulties under which
most students are remaining in college. It is not
likely that the professors will forget that fact.
The all-too-large salary cuts to which they them
selves have been subjected make that seem likely.
WITH OPEN ARMS WE HAIL YOU
T TIGHEK education in Oregon lias suffered severe
losses in its budgetary allotment, but it lias
gained invaluable assets that cannot be recorded
in cash book or bank account. The appointment of
Charles A. Brand and George B. McLeod to the
state board is an action that will draw state-wide
commendation and awaken approval from every in
stitution. From both the administrative and edu
cational standpoint the governor’s selections are
indeed praiseworthy.
Charles A. Brand, with his extensive experience
in educational affairs, will prove a welcome addi
tion to our governing body. All five institutions
could hope for no stronger friend to help pilot them
through the storm of economic reverses. As a
membei of the tax investigation committee, Mr.
Brand showed unusual depth of understanding, am.
his acts and judgments disclosed him as an indi
vidual with strong convictions, particularly where
human rights and justice were concerned. His
classical background and his unusual record of pub
lic service mark him as a gentleman and a scholar.
Higher education will have a prized asset in
the person of George B. McLeod. For more than
iifty years he lias been a public-spirited citizen,
making unusual contribution to the economic and
social welfare of the state. His long experience as
a business executive will help lighten the difficult
task of guiding highci education through the cru
cial period with the maximum of efficiency. His
discerning judgment is paralleled by his steadfast
loyalty to the high ideals that he has maintained
in public and private life.
Universities and colleges the nation over are
staging a heroic battle for then very existence
But with men like Charles Brand and George
McLeod at the helm, we may be confident that
higher education in this state will weather the
storm, and take renewed courage in its triumphant
struggle with the gales of adversity,
CONFINE IT TO MeARTHUR COURT
EVERY so often the A. S. U. O. constitution is
good for a pretty swell laugh. A Philadelphia
lawyer or a professor in the law school probably
could derive considerable amusement from its more
ludicrous portions. One of the funniest clauses is j
that w'hich appears near the end, among the reso
hitions of the executive council. It was adopted
by the executive council in 1923, 10 years ago:
“The executive council prohibits promiscuous1
selling of merchandise of any kind, or papers, maga
zines or souvenirs upon the University property,
and this shall be construed to include sales of cam
pus organizations. An authorization was given to i
the finance committee to approve of any such sales
as they see fit."
To say the above is ridiculous would be putting
it mildly. Who gave the executive council author
ity to bar the sglc of merchandise on the property
of the University of Oregon ? Surely such power
is vested only in the proper administrative author!- j
ties, and above them the state board of higher edu- j
cation. Prooably the board members would be in- \
tcrested to know that the executive council was
voluntarily taking care of some of their authority j
for them.
The resolution also bars sales 1n campus organi- I
zations, unless these sales be sanctioned by the ex
ecutive council. Here again, where does the council [
get. such authority? What has it to say about who ;
shall sell merchandise to students in fraternities
sororities, and dormitories? Insofar as we can de
termine, the only place in the city of Eugene over
which the executive council has jurisdiction in the
matter of sales is McArthur court and its adjacent !
properties.
The present executive council is not to blame |
for the silly resolution quoted herein. It was passed j
10 years ago before most of the current personnel
was in school. But it should be repealed at once.
While it remains on the books, the executive coun
cil is attempting to enforce a ruling over which it
has no jurisdiction. It is usurping authority which
rightfully belongs to the state board of higher edu
cation, the University administration, and the indi
vidual fraternities and sororities. If the council is
determined that the resolution should remain on the
books, it should be modified to include only Mc
Arthur court. Action in this direction should be
taken at the earliest possible opportunity.
BTHE BENNETT CONTEST
NE OF the most worthwhile events held on the
campus eac hyear has been forgotten in the
great consternation over dance arrangements and
committee appointments. It is the Bennett essay
contest, an annual event that requires both talent
and knowledge in writing on difficult problems in
interesting and lively style.
The chairman of the faculty committee in charge
of arrangements is George S. Turnbull, professor of
journalism. To date he has received only two en
trants in the contest. For such an obviously sound
enterprise, that sort of interest is deplorable. At
least a dozen more students should enter.
The first prize is $2D. That should be an in
ducement.
On Other Campuses
The Oxford Movement
YOUNG men in England and this country are !
serving notice that they desire no part in the
greed that starts a war and the stupidity that
tolerates it.
Since the Oxford union voted nearly two to one j
for the resolution that, “This house will in no cir- j
eumstanccs fight for its king and country," a wave j
of student sentiment has swept British campuses.;
and made itself felt on this side of the Atlantic !
as well. Glassgow university followed Oxford. Stu
dents at the University of Leicester, Wales, Cam
bridge, London, and Manchester are following the
example set by Oxford and Glasgow.
What has become known as the Oxford move- ,
merit has caught on at Victoria university in Can- j
ada. In this country, Brown university students
are signing pledges against bearing arms in an
aggressive war. Early returns from a “peace poll”
at Columbia reveal 196 students who assert that
"under no circumstances” will they fight for their
country. This same poll shows 271 students who
would don uniforms only "in case of invasion" and
but 35 who say they would care to fight and protec!
citizens or investments abroad.
Students at Northwestern university held a de
bate in which the audience voted OK to 17 that they
v- mid t ot "under any circumstances take part in
international war to defend the constitution of the
United States.”
No one hopes that this registration of student
opinion will spontaneously revolutionize the world's
attitude toward war. But the opinion of bodies
of organizezd voters does influence the policy of
democratic nations. In contemporary Germany,
Japan or Italy, public sentiment may mean little'
or nothing; but it is otherwise in the English speak
ing nations.
President Walter Pill Scott of Northwestern1
university went so far as to belittle the pacifist is
declaration of his students. He is justified in tak
ing tills attitude insofar that pacifists pledges,
alone, cannot prevent international conflicts. But
he ignores the necessity for a peace psychology
before nations can successfully proceed to outlaw
war ill practice as well as in principle.
The generation of President Scott and others I
who would pooh-pooh student peace activity is of
the war and pre-war period. They are still under j
the influence of the propaganda with which nations
whipped up mass hatred in the recent war-time
frenzy.
But today's students are of the post-conflict era.
They hope they represent the beginning of a civil-1
used epoch in which war and concomitant barbarity i
butchery and idiocy will become us remote as the,
history of the ape man.
President Scott would have spoken with greater
foresight if he had commended his students for at-*
tempting a rational stand, aud pointed out that !
organized pacifism can be only one step toward
an end of wars, but that after the peoples of the,
nation of the world become articulate and impress
on their governments their desire for peace, they
will have to adopt non-military weapon- .x! ,
tiuig their differences.—Miuuesota Daily.

KALEIDOSCOPE

institutions prominent in current educational circles. |
I EXINGTON, Va.—Radical de
parture from what is being
lone in other American universi
ties features a new program for
students of journalism in the Lee
School of Journalism of Washing
ton and Lee university here. Re
oorted by William L. Mapel, direc
tor of the school, to President
Prancis P. Gaines of Washington
and Lee and to members of the
Southern Newspaper Publishers
association, sponsor of the journal
ism school, the revised curriculum
makes drastic reduction in techni
cal journalism courses and throws
great emphasis on comprehensive
aackground training in history,
economics, political science, lan
guage, and literature. These back
ground subjects and journalism
courses which correlate newspaper
>ractice with current economic and
political issues, are cited as "more
necessary than any thing else if
preparation for journalism is to be
training of university caliber."
“If journalism is a trade,’1 Pro
fessor Mapel’s report says, "it has
no business in the curriculum of
a college or university. If it is
something more than that: a pro
fession or an art, it must comprise
more than the relatively easy task
of non-interpretative transcription
of the minutiae of run-of-the-mine
news. For that reason, the Lee
School of Journalism chooses from
now on to limit instruction in
newspaper technique to a mini
mum and to require in place of
advanced technical courses an
equivalent amount of student time
spenl in studies in the background
field.
"The time has come, the report
continues, “when our school of
journalism should take the long
view in training young men for
journalism. Instead of looking at
our graduates in the light of what
they will be six months after they
finish college, shouldn't we think
of them as of 20 years from now?
Behind our change, therefore, is
the belief that modern conditions
favor t lie informed newspaper man
capable of coping with perplexing
problems of national and interna
tional economy. This doesn’t mean
that we plan to neglect technical
subjects. From now on we shall
put on more pressure and do more
work for less college credit.”
* * *
Three main objectives are out
ined by Director Mapel. They are:
11 > To present a realistic picture
of the press as a social force, with
frank analysis of strength and
weakness replacing blatant and of
ten ignorant popular criticism of
Ihe American newspaper and of its
dace in contemporary civilization:
12' to acquaint students with at
least the fundamentals of business
:lnd editorial practice; and t3> to
correlate the mass of miscellan
eous information and methodology
required in various college courses
end apply it to the reportorial and
editorial treatment of public ques
tions.
"From now on," the report ex
plains. "we shall grant the bache
lor of arts degree in journalism
only to those students who have
completed with distinction three
years in English language and lit
erature. two years of foreign lan
guage three years of history and,
contemporary civilization, three
i ears of economies of political sci
ence tv o years of natural science,
sad a year each of psychology or
sociology, and mathematics. This
is what we call background work;
it occupies the full time of the stu
dent for his first two college years,
and more than half of the time of
the junior and senior years.
“With the aforementioned back
ground work will be correlated the
following journalism courses, each
taken for half a year: History and
Principles of Journalism, News
Writing, Law of the Press, and
Copy Reading. These courses will
i be given in the junior year, along
j with a one-semester course, meet
i ing one night each week, in me
j chanics of journalism.
“In the senior year students ap
plying for the certificate in jour
nalism along with the A.B. degree
may elect a course called Corre
lation of Journalism, in which they
study problems of history, econom
ics, and government as they pre
sent themselves to the newspaper
man rather than the layman; or
they may continue their study of
| social-directive aspects of journal
, ism through studies in the forma
! tion and control of public opinion
and the application of logical
methods to interpretation and
judgment in the field of current
events.”'
Washington and Lee's new cur
riculum comes as what may be the
final step in an evolution that has
been in progress for the last four
years. Since 1929 there has been
a constantly progressive move
ment toward less technical work
and more strict background re
quirements. In 1931 the school at
tracted professional notice by re
' striding technical journalism re
quirements to 22 per cent of a stu
dent's work in four years of under
graduate study. The new program
cuts this percentage down to 17.
and specifically states in what oth
er fields a student may do back
ground work. This is done, the re
port says, "to spare us the embar
rassment of declining to approve
work we feel below university
i standards." In the final anlysis,
technical journalism requirements
at Washington and Lee take the
place of free electives found in the
usual college course of study.
Washington and Lee journalism
men have freedom of electives, but
only in certain fields of study.
"We make this move advisedly
and with no claim that it will re
sult in a better type of training
than is being offered at half a doz
en other and excellent schools of
journalism." Professor Mapel says.
“We are convinced it will be best
for us as we view journalistic in
struction. that's all. This program
comes as the result of three years
of intense study of journalistic
curricula combined with nearly
500 interviews or correspondences
with editors, publishers, practicing
newspapermen in other capacities,
and graduates of all recognized
schools of journalism including our
own.
"This research convinces us of
two points: tli Newspaper editors
employing journalism school grad
uate.-- want young persons who un
derstand the mechanics of news
writing and of constructing a head
line: have some definite under
standing of news values; and arc
possessed of sufficient formal edu
cation to understand what is be
hind surface appearances: and t2>
the bos' tool v cd in the practice
of journalism as anything more
! than a trade are written in terms
I of basic understanding of the prob
lems of history, economics, govern
ment. and literature.
“We know our new curriculum
is not without criticism at the out
set. In our files are several com
ments from newspapermen that
there is a ‘a mighty thin coating
of practical newspaper work,
which after all, is what the editor
has in mind when he hires a cub
reporter.’ Without quarreling with
this view—shared by many schools
of journalism wherein technical in
struction occupies from a third to
half of the college course—we ob
serve that to anyone with aptitude
for newspaper work the technique
of writing a simple story is easy.
“Students who take our news
writing course are juniors in col
lege with two years of college Eng
lish behind them. If in one semes
ter we can't teach a college junior
to write an average news story,
there's something wrong with the
junior or with us. If editors want
men willing to spend their entire
lives covering fires, hospitals, and
police court, they should be en
couraged to grab high school grad
uates. A boy wastes his time
spending four years in college
learning little more than newspap
er technique.
“To be of collegiate caliber,
journalism must dig deep into the
sciences and the philosophies. The
school of journalism finds its ulti
mate usefulness in its ability to
take utterances of historians,
economists, and political scientists
and teach the application of these
utterances to everyday life as in
terpreted by the newspaperman to
the average reader so often inca
pable of that interpretation him
self.”
Washington and Lee's school of
journalism is small in number of
students and purposely will be
kept so by the faculty of seasoned
newspapermen and by the new
curriculum, which will result in a
bachelor’s degree with certifica
tion in journalism for those who
complete the work with better
than-the-average marks based on
; an index number higher than that
i required for graduation from any
| other division of the university.
i * * *
, The school points with pride to
i the fact that when Gen. Robert E.
Lee was president of the institu
tion in 1869 he originated the
world's first collegiate instruction
for journalism. This instruction
was a far cry from what now is
taught in the schools of journal
ism, but the idea behind the work
was the same. Journalism stu
dents of 1869 confined their labors
to regular college studies plus a
course in stenography and labora
tory work in a Lexington print
shop.
General Lee's jdea languished
| soon after the death of the Con
federate leader in 1870. to be re
vived a decade ago when the
southern Newspaper Publishers'
association endowed the Lee School
of Journalism as a memorial to the
farsightedness of the man who en
visioned college trained newspa
permen as one of the greatest fac
tors in the rebuilding of a shat
tered South.
ashington and Lee s new cur
riculum will go into effect with the
beginning of the next university
session in September. At that
time half a dozen of the best stu
dents of journalism will be enrolled
for courses leading to the certifi
cate and degree. Other journalism
students will continue with such
technical journalism courses as
they wish to elect. They will not
win a degree with certificate in
journalism but will be given the
regular university a B degree
with a major of journalism just as
majors are given in history, Eng-1
lish, and other subjects.
The plan, Professor Mapel pre
dicts, will be in an experimental
stage for two or three years.

Contemporary
Opinion . . .
Putting the Finger on Monmouth
A S THOUGH the announced ne
cessity of cutting a vast sum
from the already heavily-pruned
higher educational budget had not
caused enough unrest and appre
hension on the various state cam
puses, a sudden campaign to close
Monmouth normal has appeared.
Apparently no member of the i
state board of higher education
has had a hand in the unexpected
movement. The thrust at Mon
mouth seems to be another mani
festation of the uninvited interfer
ence that every now and then dis
rupts educational machinery in
Oregon. It is to be hoped that the
ill-advised statements made by Dr.
William J. Cooper, U. S. commis
sioner of education, during his re
cent visit to Portland, will not be
allowe'd to add power to the cam
paign.
Dr. Cooper, apparently in re
sponse to direct questions, advo
cated the closing of Monmouth as
an economy measure. Grounds for
pointing his finger at Monmouth
were, as quoted, that many of its
structures are obsolete and that
most of its work can be carried on
at the larger schools, particularly
the University. A little later, Dr.
Cooper is allowed to point out that
the state should be able to find use
for the Monmouth buildings for an
orphanage or other state school.
Wouldn’t it be splendid to make
an orphanage of these alleged ob
solete buildings? Obsolete build
ings are so frequently recommend
ed for orphanages! Why not be
honest about it? If Dr. Cooper
and the fellow seekers after econ
omy in education are so positive
the Monmouth plant is obsolete,
why don’t they come right out and
demand that the normal school be
moved and the buildings razed ?
The answer is, of course, that
this is hardly the time to recom
mend destruction of any public
property. It’s quite the thing to
recommend consolidations be
cause that word has come to carry
the implication of lessened ex
penditure, whether expenditure
would be lessened or not. And any
way, one mustn’t talk of taking
something away from any com
munity without throwing out a sop
in exchange.
it every public building in the
state were to be closed up because
of its obsolescence a good deal
more than half the institutions
would be homeless. There would
be no statehouse, no penitentiary,
no insane asylum, no state train
ing schools, few city halls, few
courthouses, few schools. Most of
the school districts of the state
would like to build new schools
now because prices of materials
and labor are so low, but they
can’t afford to build. They are
making the best of obsolete build
ings and equipment, happy if they
can fulfil present obligations.
They’re glad they have buildings
and equipment of any kind, no
matter how obsolete. The obso
lete-building argument 'simply will
not stand.
At the November election it
was proved decisively that the
people ’of Oregon want separate
institutions of higher learning, the
work of which is co-ordinated but
not consolidated. Every attack
upon Monmouth and the other
normal schools failed because it

the final two falls were chiefly
the result of both being too tired

Chris Wins, by Cracky

Bernie Hughes, the rough and

three-round draw with a hand
some Salem amateur heavyweight
named George Beechler. Referee
Bill Hayward called it even-steven,
although Bernie had the best of
the slugging, cutting up the valley
battler’s face in the final round.
Beechler, a former O. S. C. stu
dent, came all the way from
Salem to meet Hughes.
Mahr Rcymers fought an old
grammar school opponent in
Comet Gibson, well-known in
southern Oregon boxing circles.
Both boys showed plenty of abil

“Badger” Fight Is Okeh
Other events included a three
round wrestling-boxing affair be
tween Marlon Mann, a grappler,
and Wayne Warner, with gloves.
The wrestler didn’t give his op
ponent much chance to land and
pinned him twice. In the opening
boxing match cocky Eddie Vail
proved to be too large for Ivan
Bergman, courageous little Eu
gene high school fighter. Referee
Hayward obligingly called it a
draw.
The “badger” fight, with Roland
Rourke and Earl Parker, provided
the most laughs of the evening.
The two were blindfolded, tied to
gether, and pummeled each other
with rolled newspapers. The bat
tle royal, with six frosh numeral
men, ended with Joe Gordon,
yearling baseball star, the winner.
Gordon and John Hanley fought
two rounds after the rest of the
six had been floored.
