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 lie justified only in so far as they
make substantial contribution to the ultimate objec
tives of education .... providing adequnte spiritual i
and intellectual training for youth of today—the citi- i
zenship of tomorrow. . . .
“ . . . . The University should he 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.
Tlic American people cannot be too careful in
guarding tlic 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 Schurt.
THE FACULTY FIRST!
Hut' to their uplcnditl pinion and /tjtirit of cooperation, the
faculty ff the University of Oregon enjoy an enviable reputation
for having led in the attempt to test the. effectiveness of tlirir
own efforts and to achieve new standards of efficiency in the
education of our youth. The money of the taxpayers has been
made many times more productive. The sjnrit of self criticism,
in order to discover more effective ways of better serving the
state, has become one of the dominant interests of the Uni
versity. Arnold Hennett Hall, in his last biennial report to the
tate board of higher education.
BENEATH the superstructure of higher educa
tion .stands the foundation, which is the facul
ty. It has been the cornerstone upon which Amer
ican learning has been constructed for a century
and more. Since the days of the old Northwest
ordinance, when education was in it infancy on the
North American continent, the teacher has been
the nucleus about whom elaborate plants have been
built. Intricate administrative systems and magnifl- ,
cent physical establishments all tower above a |
foundation which consists of teachers and instruct
ors and professors.
The skilled executive sits in his office and issues ,
orders. The research expert haunts his laboratory I
and watches with burning eyes the contents of \
countless test-tubes. The high-powered contact
man labors night and day to tell the public of the |
benefits of education. Important parts they play
in this great drama. Yes, their parts are impor
tant, but another occupies the leading role.
* * *
THE HERO in our little act, which consists of
preparing the youth of the nation for his fu- ■
turc in life, is the man in tHe classroom; the humble
idealist who wears the frayed-suit with its shiny
elbows and knees; with his modest income and
quiet homo life. Ho—the faculty member is the
Hercules on whose shoulders rests this massive
structure of detail and intricate ramifications which
wc call higher education.
Thcte arc many who will dispute our contention,
but let them first state the real purpose of educa
tion. There can be no doubt as to what the latter
is. Education is primarily fot the advancement
and enlightenment of youth. The lad who comes
fro ma far-off mountain village to become a great
criminal lawyer- whose parents go hungry at meal
times so he can be educated has no contact with
the high-salaried executive who gives orders; he
never meets the talented research exports who
prepares learned papers on the weight of the ever
green tree in the month of July, he does not know
the name of the man who mows the campus lawn
or stokes the college furnaces, important, though
- these individuals may be.
But the man in the classroom tin- lad knows,
and adores or hates, a. the cast- may be. From him
he gets ideas and convictions which he carries to
the grave. The immortal Daniel Webster never
was enlightened by the administrators of Dart
mouth nor by tho._e who maintained it . plan!. But
the professors with whom he came into contact
gave him opinions and sentiments which he took
to the halls of congress and inscribed in the history
of his country.
* * *
\ ND SO we present our case for the faculty. We
■**- address it to the distinguished members of the
state board of higher education who meet here in
executive session next week to consider budgets
for the coming biennium. We recognize the im
portance of efficient administrative work and the j
need for a splendid physical plant, but we also |
realize that these necessities and subordinate to the j
imperative demand for a competent faculty. We1
of the University are proud of our faculty. That [
is why wc urge the gentlemen of the board to con- j
sider thoughtfully before asking it to bear addi-!
tional financial reductions.
In the past year we have seen two fine men,
Arnold Bennett Hall and Clarence W. Spears, turn
their faces to the sunrise. We want no more heart
breaking experiences like those. So to you, gen
tlemen of the state board of higher education, we
address our plea for a faculty which we admire
and respect. Remember that its members are our
teachers and guides. Upon them depends the future
of the University of Oregon. For that reason
alone, if none other, they deserve consideration and
thought.
WE STILL WAIT FOR ISSUES
F°R TWO mild and unexciting weeks now the one
political party on the campus has been sitting in
monopolistic hibernation directing its colorless
campaign. Colorless we say, for it has as little
excitement as a one-man track meet, without even
the pre-election thrills of martial band music or
free dances at the expense of the interested candi
dates.
Wisely enough, the political directors of the one
party machine are stepping very lightly, being j
judiciously careful not to trod on the sensitive toes
of the few who might get ambitions over night
and bolt the party. Also the political tycoons are
making no promises, well only a very few, and are
answering in vague and optimistic cheerfulness any
questions put to them.
The Emerald previously pointed out the inanity
of the situation. It also warned of the break
down of student government unless more candidates
and issues were presented. Unless another party
appears, the coming election assumes farcial pro
portions. To concede to one party an uncontested
victory is to admit the shallowness of that victory.
Rumors that the Roustabouts, clowning political
party of last year, may return, are cheering. They,
at least, will give to the whole dreary affair a touch
of humor, and may cause some little worry in the
camp of the entrenched organization. Last year
the Roustabouts abandoned their campaign, but not
before they had precipitated the formation of
another party and assured the election of one of I
their number.
Other parties may arise, but we can not say for j
a certainty. To date only rumors have drifted in j
to us that a few of the disgruntled faction are |
planning a coup d’etat at the time of nominations, j
If they do appear at the last minute, let us hope I
that they offer some clear cut issues that will allow
an intelligent choice in voting for candidates. The
one party might even yet, if they saw fit to abandon
their flag pole sitting campaign, reassure the vot
ers of their worthiness by the adoption of a con
cise platform and policy. To do this would require
political courage, for it would necessitate an aliena- i
lion of part of their support.
Oregon is not the only university at which the
poiltical system is stricken with ennui. At Cali
fornia, Purdue, Chicago, and other schools, college
editors are bewailing or felicitating the lack of
campus interest in student politics. We seem to
have unwittingly taken part in a nation wide move
ment in American colleges that places more empha
sis on education and is making archaic the play
boy activity man.
A WORTHY DECISION
T'VR. JOHN F. BOVARD'S decision to open the
tennis courts on Sunday is a wise one. He not
only gives numerous students an additional oppor
tunity for healthful Sabbath recreation, but adds j
those students to the adherents of the school of '
physical education.
THE OREUANA SITUATION
T> EGARDLESS of what action tho judiciary
committee takes in the matter, we believe the
action of the executive council in ruling out Robert
Zurcher and Parks Hitchcock for the position of
editor of Oregana was unwarranted and an injus
tice to the two boys.
Iu the first place, there is a slight possibility
that Zurcher may be able to adjust his grades and
requirements in time to obtain a junior certificate
by the autumn. He even is willing to attend sum
mer school to do so. Then take Hitchcock’s case.
He was ruled not acceptable because he filed a
petition requesting that all Southern Pacific trains
whistle "Mighty Oregon’’ as they steamed pass the
campus. One hundred and fifty-two students
signed that petition.
As stated before in these columns, it is silly
enough for the council to penalize Mr. Hitchcock.
But when it does so, well aware that one of its
members has signed the petition, and shortly after
it has named one of the signers editor of the Emer
ald for next year, that is too much. There is such
a thing as being fair. If the council feels Hitchcock
should be penalized, that is the council’s privilege.
But let the council not forget that 152 students
signed the petition for which Hitchcock is punished.
They are equal offenders. Any political scientist j
will say that.
We rather expect the judiciary committee to
say tuat other students may apply for the post. I
But if the committee does bring in such a liberal
interpretation of the antiquated constitution and
we favor liberal interpretations for we are liberal
ists it must remember that Bruce Hamby was pre
vented from running for business manager of tlie|
Emerald by that same constitutional provision.
In other words, the promise on which we base1
our convictions is simply this: Be fair. Let the
same rules apply to all students and cases. Give
Zurcher fair and equal treatment. Give Hitchcock
lair and equal treatment. Wive Hamby fair and
equal treatment. Why should these students be
discriminated against ? We will abide amicably by
auy decision the judiciary committee may make.
Wo only plead with the committee to urge and in- I
lot upon equitable procedure iu ail ui->Uuceo.

The Iron Heel ... By STANLEY ROBE •

The Gold Standard Situation
By COLVIN CRUMEAKER
(As Told to Maximo Pulido)
COUNTRY is said to be on the
gold standard when its mone
tary system consisting of bank
notes and bank deposits and gov
ernments promises are redeemable
on demand in gold. To insure this
free convertibility it is usually as
sumed that there must be free
coinage, free melting of coins,
free import and free export of
gold. The functions of gold under
such a standard would be to serve
as a common-denominator of
values within a country, and be
tween countries, and to serve as a
liquifying agent for outstanding
government and bank obligations.
Viewed in this light a country
would be off the gold standard
when it checked the import or ex
port of gold, or when it checked
free coinage or free melting of
coins, or when it suspended con
vertibility of government or bank
promises.
Abandonment of the gold stan
dard destroys one of the limits to
over-expansion of bank or govern
ment promises. As long as either
the government or a bank must
redeem its promises on demand in
gold, there is a definite limit to
the amount of issue which is safe.
When redemption is suspended, or
when an embargo on export is laid,
there would be no such limit.
Opinions differ as to the desir
ability of using gold as a limiting
factor. One group argues that,
since the quantity of gold is fixed
by nature, there will be a definite
limit to credit based upon it.
Another group argues that scarc
ity of credit should be determined
by business, not by nature. They
urge that credit should be ‘‘man
aged'' artificially, so that the
volume would corerspond to the
need for it.
* » *
Abandonment of the gold stan
dard will make possible any ex
tent of inflation of credit and cur
rency desired by those who are in
charge of monetary affairs. Some
believe that the present depression
is due to a shortage of currency.
While prices will be affected by
inflation, eminent authorities
deny that pre-depression, or war
time prices can be reestablished
or maintained. They argue that in
flation cannot be directed to fields
where higher prices are desired.
A naive interpretation of the
quantity theory of money might
lead to a belief that the general
price level would rise by relatively
equal increments of prices for all
commodities. Critics urge that
price levels as shown by index
numbers might rise, but that some
important commodities will not
find prices increasing at the samej
rate as others. >
Experience between 1922 and!
1929 have been interpreted as in
dications that inflated credit can
not be directed or controlled, and:
that there is no reason for pro
ducers of basic raw materials to1
hope for prices as high as they,
believe conditions warrant.
¥ * ¥
As to foreign trade, there will
be some stimulation if the dollar
goes to a discount in foreign coun
tries. The extent of discount will
depend upon the extent of infla
tion. The advantage to foreign
buyers of American goods will
come from the lag between the
extent of discount of dollar ex
change and the actual purchasing
power of the doliar in America.
The advantage will disappear un
less fresh depreciation is produced
by still further inflation.
* * *
How will the United States get
back on the gold basis ? That de
pends upon how extensive the in
flation and the depreciation are.
If the United States really inflates
the currency so there is an ex
tensive depreciation, getting back
to the pro-inflation standard dol
lar is not an easy matter. It will
require a long period of deflation
with hard times, unemployment,
and bankruptcies such as we are
now experiencing. The country
might decide to repudiate all or
part of its outstanding promises,
and permit the banks to repudiate
theirs, and reestablish a new dol
lar of pre-inflation weight and
fineness. This is what the German
government did when they re
deemed a worthless issue of marks
in a new gold mark at the rate of
several trillion for one. This meth
od was a virtual repudiation of
obligations, and would not be used
unless inflation was carried to the
point where all value of the cur
rency was virtually extinguished.
* * *
The United States might follow
the method the French govern
ment used when it abandoned its
pre-war franc worth 19.3c gold
and established a new one worth
3.93c gold. This had the effect of
repudiating about three-fourths of
the French obligations. There are
now persistent proposals to re
value the dollar in some way.
• * *
At this time no one can tell how
far inflation will be carried,' or
whether an attempt will be made
to get back upon the gold stan
dard. Some methods of re-estab
lishing gold would be laborious
and painful, others are easy. One
may safely assume that the pres
ent problems of inflation will oc
cupy public attention for the
present, leaving the questions of j
re-establishing the standard for a
later time. j
Current
LITERATURE j
By JOHN SELBY
THERE is, imbedded in Ameri
can history, a saga perfectly!
worthy of comparison with any of >
the sagas of the past, even with
the Israel.
Like that imperishable saga, the
American contribution has to do
with a religious migration. Inter
woven in the newer story are the
calls of newer prophets, and par
ticularly the call of one prophet.
Joseph Smith. For, of course, the
trials and eventual security of the
Mormons make up this American
saga.
John Henry Evans, himself a
Mormon, has written “Joseph
Smith, An American Prophet," so
that it may be read by the general
public as well as the Mormons, par
ticularly by those whose interest
tends toward the dramatic in re
ligious history.
He is fortunate in that events of
the last two decades have pushed
the events of which he writes into
a seemingly distant past, so that
a longer perspective may be ob
tained than is accounted for by
elapsed time.
Everything is in the book iron!
Smith's early prophetic urge
through the terrors of Ohio, Mis- ■
souri and Illinois days up to his ,
murder in Carthage, 111., in 1844. I
Mr. Evans’ attitude is through
out simple, judicial and calm, al- i
though he makes no effort to hide
his sympathy with his subject.
There has been an apparently
conscientious effort to bring truth
out of the chaotic mass of material
available to him.
A few will cavil at the prepon- j
derance of sources taken from
within the Mormon church, and as- i
suredly the details of certain stor- ;
ies, particularly those about the ■
days in Missouri, differ greatly
from those current in that terri
tory.
But the portrait of the leader is
obviously one sincerely felt, and
the pages given to Smith’s relig
ious philosophy and his own ac
count of his life and work are
equally readable and equally im
portant.
Washington
Bystander. .
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20
” When President Roosevelt
voiced in his inaugural address a
dedication of his foreign policy to
that of the good neighbor, he
coupled with it a statement about
how a good neighbor should re
gard not only the sanctity of
treaties but the rights of others.
That was read as cutting both
bo east and south at the time. It
brought both the Sino-Japanese
matter and the general question
of Washington's attitude toward
Latin-America into the picture.
The president has been too busy
with domestic affairs since then
to elaborate very much on the j
principles that will govern his
foreign policy. Yet it is notable
that he seized the first opportun
ity, the meeting of the board of
governors of the Pan-American
Union, to sound a note as to his
conception of the true meaning of
the Monroe Doctrine that is
strongly reminiscent of what Pres
ident Wilson sought to do nearly
two decades ago.
* * *
The Roosevelt view of the Mon
roe Doctrine as actually a Pan
American doctrine “directed at the
maintenance of independence by
the peoples of this continent” is
the same as that which President
Wilson, speaking through secre
tary Lansing, sought to establish
in 1915 at the time the United
States was launching on its most
ambitious peace-time military and
naval development.
The Wilson administration had
just formulated a billion dollar
program for increase of the army!
and navy which was enacted in
1916. Speaking to the second Pan-j
American Scientific conference in
Washington in December. 1915,;
Mr. Lansing quoted the famous
slogan of Dumas’ musketeers.
“One for all and all for one.” as
one "the American family of na
tions might take for its motto.”
Eighteen years later. President
Roosevelt's specific exposition of
his good neighbor policy as it
bears on Latin-America might
have been an excerpt from that
Lansing speech.
The world atmosphere in which
Mr. Wilson launched his effort to
widen the Monroe Doctrine from a
national defense policy to a conti
nental declaration of solidarity
against all exterior aggressors was
quite different from that in which
Mr Roosevelt renewed iL
I he world war was in progress;
imerica was as yet neutral and
lopeful of avoiding any participa
ion in the struggle. The military
ireparedness policy of which the
iroposal of a Pan-American Mon
oe Doctrine was an important ele
nent clearly was designed in Mr.
iVilson's mind to meet possible
iangers that might be faced by
he American family of nations
ifter the European struggle ended.
* * *
Roosevelt Pan-Americanism is1
voiced at a time when no expan
;ion of military preparedness is in
)rospect to arouse possible con
lern to the south. Yet the reasser
ion of the idea of a Pan-American
don roe Doctrine, coupled with a
jersonal declaration by the new
resident at Washington that
frowth of the members of the
American family of nations must
■est on internal economic and so
:ial advancement, not on "acqui
sition of territory at the expense
3f an yneighbor,” documents the
food neighbor policy in specific
fashion.

SOPH PREXY REPLIES
To the Editor of the Emerald:
Sir: Although forced by ill
health to withdraw from the Uni
versity during the spring quarter,
I feel that some answer must be
made to the Emerald's latest edi
torial attack upon the dance pol
icies of the sophomore class—a
previous editorial in November of
fall term taking exception to the
$475 that was expended upon the
Sophomore Informal.
In your issue of Tuesday, April
18, you inquire why the dance was
scheduled for the same time as
the high school band contest and
why it was held in a private hall.
In the middle of last winter term,
the Sophomore Whiskerino di
rectorate set the date for April
15 on the social calendar in the
dean of women's office. At that
time there was no other Univer
sity function sceduled and the date
was set with the advice and full
consent of the assistant dean of
women, Mrs. Macduff. When the
band contest date was publicly an
nounced at the beginning of spring
term, it would have been impos
sible to change the Whiskerino
without stopping the beard con
test and dance entirely.
Insofar as the Campa Shoppe's
being used and the Emerald’s in
sinuation of a “racket,” be it re
called that all such functions as
the Krazy Kopy Krawl, Gamma
Alpha Chi fashion dance, and
Journalism Jam, with even largei
attendance, used the same hall.
The Whiskerino Shuffle would
have gone hopelessly over its bud
get in attempting to decorate for
such a large hall as either Gerlin
ger or McArthur court. As it was,
the class paid for the hall on a
gate receipt percentage and thus
made the matter more satisfactory
for both its treasury and its own
attending members.
