The Emerald’s 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 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 lifo
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 rre 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.
TOLERANCE—AND US
titH malice towards none, with charity
* w. for all ...”
The sixteenth President of the United States
is speaking. He is preaching to a war-ravaged
nation the immortal doctrine of the brotherhood
of man. His words ring out above the tumult of
tUc throng milling before the capitol. They are
caught on the March winds and borne through
the corridors of history. Today Lincoln's brief
gem is as eloquent, as impressive as it was six
decades ago in the period following the Civil war.
And how many of us heed its logic and follow
Its wisdom ?
Tolerance and brotherhood are as necessary
now as they were when the country was divided
against itself. The imperialistic trend of events
in Central Europe and the Orient portray vividly
the tragedy and ruin which accompanies the de
parture of peace and sobriety. There is no place
in which we can school ourselves better to the
requirements of tolerance and brotherhood than on
ibis campus.
Enough of our number forget these essential
qualities to bring their desirability before us. There
are the robust he-men, who look down on one fel
low because he formerly was a Boy Scout and
shun another because he spends most of his time
studying. Then there are the social butterflies who
cannot bear to associate with those whose ward
robes are not all that they might be, and there
arc the playboys, who consider it a blight on their
enviable reputations to be seen with ttiat lowly
class of individual known variously as the "book
woim" 01 the "scholar.”
One could go on for several hours, setting forth
the various peuy types of inolorance with which
wc are inflicted. But that hardly seems necessarv.
A deep and thoughtful consideration of Lincoln's
forceful words should obliterate them en toto.
"... With malice towards none, with charity
for ull . . . ”
HKLAt IT IN THE I I II KE
I'T'HE sophomore chi. could have selected a more
A appropriate time for its annual "Whiskeriuo
Shuffle" than last Saturday night. Holding one
of tin large, t class dances of the year oil the same
night as the finals of the .date high school band
contest was a blunder that should not be repeated.
There were 7U0 prep school students, the ma
jority of them nearly ready to enter college, par
ticipating m the band contests Saturday. They
should haw been heard by a large audience of
students. Instead, the A. S. 1 O. and the contest
management hud to depend upon townspeople for
attendance. Incidentally, the latter responded
splendidly. But the sophomore class should have
delated 1! dance a week instead of conducting it
in competition with such an obviously worthwhile
affair as the band contest.
We also wonder why the "Whiskerino Shuffle”
was held at the Campa Shoppe. Why not hold a
class dance at McArthur court or Gerlinger hall?
It should not be held in a private hall when there
are two large buildings, one owned by the Uni
versity, the other by the A. S. U. <3. There should
; be some explanation as to why the dance was not
postponed in deference to the band contest and
why it was held at a private hall instead of in
University buildings.
What's the racket? The student body has a;
right to know.
FRATERNITY TRAMP
THE fraternity tramp! He comes from God
knows where out of the blackness of night,
bringing with him a little of the despair of haunted
eyes and twisted lives. He is without home, hope,
or ambition, drifting on to new and different
1 scenes, drawn by the romance of far-away places
i and impossibility of making a living in his own
! community.
Usually he is well received, college men being
notably liberal. That, perhaps, is one reason that
he asks for his "handout” at a fraternity house.
On occasion he is asked to work for the little food
he demands and seems to do it willingly enough.
He represents every strata of society from the
bricklayer out of a job to the unsuccessful lawyer
and dentist.
Perhaps Spenser was right in his contention
that the preservation of the incompetent is mere
sentimentality, and that at best it is a dubious
kindness since it will only usher more misery into
the world through the progeny of the misfits. Per
haps it is best to refer them to highly efficient and
impersonal organizations such as the Red Cross
and the Salvation Army. Perhaps each case should
be referred to a social worker to classify and sci
entifically handle each as a separate problem. But
there is something lacking of human kindness and
sympathy in this.
When graduation approaches and we look upon
the topsy-turvy world with a shiver of apprehen
sion, we wonder if we ourselves are destined to
become homeless itinerants; when we have be
sieged an indifferent world with our hopes, dreams,
j and ambitions only to meet a singular and sur
prising coldness. The fraternity tramp is a prob
lem, but a human problem. In this chaotic world
such charity as we may be able to give him is not
out of keeping with the drastic necessities of the
times.
A county road gang convict escaped at Bartow,
Fla., by joining a funeral procession which passed
the prisoners at work.

BEER AND STUDENTS
STUDENT health may suffer from the return of
beer and attendant, intemperate drinking, ac
cording to a statement issued to University of
Michigan students by Dr. Warren G. Forsythe, di
rector of the university health service.
Automobile accidents and bodily and mental
deterioration are predicted for intemperate students
by the statement which follows:
“One hesitates to say that any alcoholic drink
is compatible with health. Certainly such drinking
has no health values but injury depends upon many
variable circumstances. In common sense obser
vations it is difficult to demonstrate harm from
temperate use of beverages of low alcoholic con
tent but the pathologist sees harmful tissue changes
attributable to prolonged and probably immoderate
drinking of beer.
"Any increase of drinking raises many ques
tions of student welfare. Whatever may be said
in favor of temperate drinking, no one can well
deny that intemperance is harmful to the drinker
and society generally. Because of the physiologi
cal affects of alcohol and the circumstances under
which students used to drink, the line between
intemperance and temperance is a difficult one to
determine or maintain.
“The return of legal tint! cheaper beer will be
a challenge to the good sense and self-control of
our students. From past observations and a knowl
edge of the physiological action of alcohol one can
not help but fear that student health "is going to
be injured in several ways if drinking increases.
An increase of physical injuries from automobile
accidents and an increase of venereal infection ; |
are particular hazards resulting from over
drinking.
"It is a nice question as to whether or not |
medical service which is supplied upon a coopera-;
live social basis for any group should be available .
for illness and injuries resulting from alcoholism. ]
“Contrary to popular thinking, the effect of
alcohol in the body is depression rather than stimu
lation. The commonly observed temporarily in
creased activity of movement and speech under
alcohol results from depression, paralysis, of the
mental inhibitions or restraints resulting from
i teason or judgment. The babblings and the antics
| of the acute alcoholic may seem amusing or clever
| because such remarks and behavior are so ‘crazy'
foreign to reasonable critical conduct.
“The serious difficulties of this overthrow ot
reason or critical judgment in conduct are that the
primitive, emotional, instinctive, selfish and social)
ilestruttive impulses are losses with results all too)
well known by those who have observed drunken
ness.
“Prolonged alcoholism results in deterioration j
of nerve tis ,ue in particular with its deterioration
of personality and possibility of termination inj
1 complete mental derangement.
“It cannot be denied that beer has potential
j dangets for some students at least, but the ques
1 tion hinges upon the conditions under which the
drink is obtained and used.
“it i-. a question of self-control which becomes
| increasingly difficult as the physiological effects)
of the alcohol increase. The majority of student:;!
will probably be called upon to demonstrate their
intelligence and their truly adult development by
discouraging the excesses of the social infants'
among them. It will be their opportunity to dem
onstrate that beer can bo handled practically as a
soft drink without the hazards to health and social*
welfare so well understood "JO years ago by those
who aw the results of excessive drinking “—Ore- j

KALEIDOSCOPE
[News and comment from and about persons and
institutions prominent in current educational ^circles. | j
By
ARTHUR CHARLES WATKINS
(Director of the National Student
(Forum >
P to July 24, 1929, the school
teachers of the United States
had no legal justification for
teaching anti-war doctrine to their
students. Since then they have no
excuse for not doing so. Before
that date, if they taught the fu
tility of war, it could plausibly be
said they were setting forth “prop
aganda.” Since that date they are
teaching the higher citizenship
when they expound the renuncia
tion of war and the settlement of
all international differences only
by “pacific means.”
It is the Pact of Paris that has
made all the difference. On that
notable date, all the “signatories”
of that treaty, having, according
to the requirements of their va
rious constitutions, ratified the
agreement made by their plenipo
tentiaries, the Pact, of Peace was
promulgated by President Hoover
before the representatives of the
fifteen countries concerned. Since
that date practically all the othe^
countries of the world have “ad
hered” to the pact. By the consti
tution of the United States a
treaty becomes a part of "the su
preme law of the land.” Moreover,
this treaty represents the peak of
development of our foreign policy.
Because the Paris pact is a part
of the law' of our country, the
United States Commissioner of Ed
ucation. Dr. William John Cooper,
says: “Our schools are under obli
gation to teach it." The National
Education association, in its last
two conventions, has urged the
schools to teach the pact.
a * *
The sin of war is also a crime—
(he Pact of Faris has made it ille
gal and a crime, for the pact is in
ternational law.' In what a differ
ent position now is the teacher who
lias moral conviction! His feet
stand on a solid rock; he is set
free to teach what he knows to
bo true. Teachers whose convic
tions are slowly dawning have the
reassuring injunction from the
highest authority that it is their
duty to teach the new and higher
patriotism. In 1929-30, according
to the records, 3,500 principals and
teachers of history and other social
seienees did the work of teaching
the Paris Pact to 122,000 students
in 1.600 high schools. In 1930-31
about 6,000 assisted in giving the
specific instruction to 200.000 stu
dents in 2,600 high schools. Ac
cording to the statistics of the Na
tional Student Forum at the open
ing of the year, treated on the
theory of probability, there will be
about 10.000 high school teachers
cooperating in this newer and high
er citizenship training during 1931
32. The work will be going on in
approximately 5.000 schools -one
fifth of all the secondary schools
of the country—and about half
million students will give an ap
preciable amount of school time
and effort to understanding their
duty as young citizens, soon to be
come voters, in making the renun
ciation of war effective and, at
some early date, completely so.
The clear-thinking student body
of the country sees that the plain
logic of the Baric Pact is real dis
armament by international agree
ment.
Most of all the voyth of rh.
country would like tu see our uu
, tion take the lead in proposing
| drastic reductions, for they know
! other nations will not do more than
we. Right now there is little doubt
how our delegation to the General
Disarmament conference in Gene
va would act if it expressed the
simple basic thought of the high
school students of the country.
There are 5,000,000 of these stu
dents. Within another triennium
a million of these boys and girls
will be voting citizens and another
million each year thereafter.
As approximately 80 per cent of
these students will not go on to
college, it is significant that these
high school students are being
taught to think straight and to act
in harmony with the standards of
the Paris Pact in which all the old
policies and practices are based on
brute force are repudiated and dis
carded.
Washington
Bystander. .
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON. April 17. (APi
** Quite likely there is no other
senator who could vote “Aye” for
the confirmation of former repre
sentative Ruth Bryan Owen as
minister to Denmark so cheerfully
as large and leisurely Park Tram
mel of Florida.
Mr. Trammel is the next Flor
ida senator to face re-election,
coming up for voter action next
year. It is not likely he has for
gotten the grave perturbation
caused his colleague, the senior
senator from Florida, Duncan
Fletcher, by Mrs. Owfen's disclosed
senatorial ambitions of not so long
ago.
Mr. Trammel would be justified
more or less in assuming that
Denmark is very far away and
hardly a vantage point from which
to develop senatorial hopes.
Many a “lameduck” senator or
representative has been parked in
a legation or embassy abroad,
while the late Dwight Morrow and
New Hampshire, stormy petrel,
George Moses, are the only impor
tant instances of reversing that
procedure the Bystander can re
call off hand.
* s? *
It seems clear that Mrs. Owen's
readiness to accept the honor of
being the first woman member of
the American diplomatic corps
and the second woman ever to hold
such high diplomatic honors any
where, for that matter indicates
that she is resigned to dropping
out of the race for elective office
entirely.
Her once high hopes of being
the first woman to be elected to
the senate have gone a-glimmer
ing. but to be the first American
Madam Minister should prove no
small consolation.
Certainly Mrs. Owen should find
the great public curiosity center
ing about her as a minister pleni
potentiary and envoy extraordin
ary far greater than that she
knew as a house member.
* $
lu older times, when the gossip
of many European courts flowed
through society, the Scandinavian
capitals were important cross
roads for > 'vide-awake diplomat
Many a first luui ot Hungs that
were brewing in London, Berlin,
Paris, St. Petersburg or Madrid
first reached Washington that
way.
To what extent those missions
still are regarded as excellent dip
lomatic listening posts the By
stander does not know, but Mad
am Minister Owen might find her
self soon in touch intimately with
affairs great enough to make her
personal political troubles at home
seem small and unimportant in
deed in comparison.

BUDGET DELAYS MEET
OF EDUCATION BODY
(Continued from Page One)
necessary; they think all the rest
are frills, pleasant and convenient
but not imperative. Their oppo
nents claim education that is not
properly balanced is worse than
no education at all.
Much of the responsibility at
the coming meeting will rest upon
Edward C. Sammons of Portland,
chairman of the finance commit
tee of the board. His reports and
recommendations probably will do
considerable towards determining
the decisions of the board. This
is a happy coincidence. Mr. Sam
mons is one of the most public
spirited citizens in the state. He
is a militant campaigner for what
he thinks is right and a vigorous
antagonist of what he knows is
wrong. He believes in education
for the student and always has
been a hearty advocate of confin
ing educational endeavor and ef
forts largely to the school cam
puses. He is acting chairman of
the Multnomah county unemploy
ment relief committee, has been
active in numerous public projects
and was a lieutenant-colonel in
the A. E. F.
Officers To Be Inducted
Charles Brand of Medford and
George McLeod of Portland will
be formally inducted as boerd
members at next week’s meeting
at the University. For a time
following the announcement of
their appointment by Governor
Meier, some doubt existed as to
whether they would be accepted
by the interim committee of the
legislature. Now, however, all ob
stacles seem to have been sur
mounted. Opinion here favors the
governor’s selections. Educational
leaders believe Brand and McLeod
will carry on splendidly in the
places vacated by Albert Burch
and E. C. Pease.
C. L. Starr will preside over the
session next week. Others who
will attend are F. C. Callister,
Herman Oliver, C. C. Colt, B. F.
Irvine, and Mr. Sammons. Mrs.
Cornelia Marvin Pierce is not ex
pected to be on hand. She is in
Washington, D. C., with her hus
band, newly elected Democratic
congressman from Eastern Ore
gon.
Next Monday’s meeting will
convene at 10:30. It probably
will be a one-day session only,
because the board and Chancellor
W. J. Kerr face an almost impos
sible task in arranging budgets.
However, it may last longer.
STEFFENS GETS UNIQUE
APPRAISAL FROM ALLEN
(Continued from Par/c One)
“and if you print all this, don’t
treat it in a way that will get me
into trouble with my clergymen
friends. It is not intended for blas
phemy.
“Lincoln Steffens says he is a
Christian and I think he is. As a
matter of fact there are Christians
in my lifetime I have met three.
“Perhaps those who have heard
Steffens speak wonder how he can i
'get away’ with some of his re-!
marks about communism and radi-!
cal social reforms—may have
asked why Steffens isn't put in
jail as an anarchist, and a com
munism propagandist.
“No one wants to see Steffens
in jail,” declared Dean Allen;
By JOHN SELBY
YEAR after year, for nine years
A. F. Tschiffely taught school
in the Argentine. At last he felt
he could teach school no longer. He
wanted to go somewhere, see new
things.
So he went to Washington, U.
S. A., overland, his means of loco
motion being two 16-year-old Ar
gentine Creole horses named Pic
statement, quite bare of resound
one) and Gato (the cat). What is
more to the point, it is possible to
make the trip with him in a book
called “Tschiffelys Ride.”
The book is an epic in under
standment, quite bare of resound
ing periods and theoretical flights.
Tschiffely is saved from disappear
ing over a precipice by a stubborn
burro, and gives the event a para
graph. He watches a most shock-,
ing deed in an Andean village, and
gets through it in less than a
page. A burro repels a puma's at
tack and earns a couple of hun
dred words by the exploit. One
has the feeling that the author is
seated close by, laconically re
hearsing the detail of his exploits
over, perhaps, several steins of the
recently legalized beer.
As Tschiffely remarks, few trav
elers have had as much leisure to
observe the countries through
which they passed as he. He was
two and a half years on the way,
and often stopped days or weeks
in a village—such as the Peruvian
village wherein he witnessed an
Indian wedding dance, the groom
in a cast-off white man’s suit and
the bride in various trappings,
most notable among them a pair
of football shoes, along with other
strange trappings.
Only a lover of horses could con
template so quixotic a venture.
Hence it is no surprise to find the
real heroes thereof to be Mancha
and Gato. And it is nice to know
both fine animals are again rang
ing the Argentine pampas, happy
as good horses well could be.
“especially not some of the con
servative, respectable governing
officials in this democracy where
free speech is supposedly for all—
but only a few dare to use the
privilege. Steffens was a muck
raker; for the witness stand—he
has too much information.
“And besides, there is no case
against him; wherever he goes he
has friends. Men he has muck
raked, newspaper men, the com
mon man, the intelligentsia, and
the school boys—all adore him.”
Men are drawn to him as unto a
magnet; he is the man of the cen
tury.

None of the “candidates” had

The whole affair seems to be one
of these “so-and-so told me”
things with no one knowing just
who started it.
Several of the campus politi

sounded phoney. First Beard has
never shown particidar interest in

senior standing. Third, the com
