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 senfle 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 nnd achievement can be justified only in so far us they muke 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 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 nnd 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 r re involved, with u 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 he 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 Schurz. A NEW ERA LOOMS ANEW era in student body government was ushered in yesterday when the judiciary com mittee handed down a decision depriving the execu tive council of the power of arbitrarily rejecting candidates for posts in various campus activities. Injecting the doctrine of "reasonableness" into the matter of appointments, the judicial group declared that “good and sufficient reasons” must accom pany rejection of any qualified candidate. No longer will the executive council have the dictatoi'ial power of refusing to appoint candidates, as it may please. The positions of managership of athletic teams and publications never again can be filled solely on the basis of political partisan ship or personal prejudice; the death knell has been sounded for the motto, "To the victor belongs the spoils.” If this new doctrine is rigorously’enforced, and we are confident that it shall be, the election of a given "ticket" to office shall not award to it un restricted patronage. Recommendations of com mittees, made after long and arduous study of the merits of competing applicants, shall not in the future be dismissed by the executive council wltu a wave of the hand. Such action as the refusal to appoint Parks Hitchcock to the editorship of The Oregana must be accompanied by specific reasons reasons that will satisfy the judiciary committee as "good and sufficient." We welcome this new policy for it means more efficient student government; it means the man agement of activities by the best qualified, not the best "hanger-on." Campus politicians will no longer "divide up the spoils" in anticipation of victory at the polls. With the advent of this restriction, the era of high-handed council action on appointments is relegated to oblivion. All that now remains is for the development of n system of committee recommendations that will make every campus position open to the best quali fied student. With the examination of the merits of every applicant, and the recommendation of the student best suited, we will go a long way toward accomplishing what must constantly be our goal; namely, a system of student activities based on efficiency and equality, with politics, partisanship and prejudice banished forever. THIS IS THE l> OILVKR-TONGUED orators will rise from the ^ floor at Geilinger hall this morning and nomi nate a set of A. S. U. O. officers to save the stu dents of the University of Oregon. Resurrection of the constituents is expected to got under way immediately, for have not the campaign managers told us that the anticipated candidates have the best interests of the students at heart? Sheer altruism prevails m politics this spring We have entered the promised land at last. All the candidates who yet have appeared on the hori zon hold the students and their interests in the highest regard. The wishes of the students are next to the'r hearts. It would be little less than criminal for us not to be grateful for the oppor tunity to cast ballots in so noble a cause. And yet the Emerald the old meanie -still is not quite satisfied. What we want in the next group of student body officers is the courage to advocate change, the decisiveness to initial pro gressive movements, the intelligence to discrimi nate between what is good and bad. Forget the platitudes and generalities; speak in facts and plain statements. Remember the fact that a student has peddled ice-cream cones and swept up dance floors for campus committees does not necessarily qualify him as a skilled executive to determine whether football shall have $40,000 and minor sports $100, or vice versa. One of the chief objections to Abraham Lincoln as a presidential candidate in 1860 was that he never had served on the various lower commissions and boards on which his adversaries had spent their time. And Lincoln was a pretty good president. Think it over. TRAGEDY IN THE RIVER OPRING term the mill-race and the river are par ^ tieularly inviting to the student. Canoeing on the lazy waters seems as pleasant and safe a sport as can be found, but behind its seeming safety lies the ever present possibility of fatal accident and tragedy. -In a letter to the Emerald today, Karl Onthank, dean of personnel administration, warns the stu dents of the dangers of the seemingly peaceful mill-race. He points out that on the average there has been a fatal accident every two or three years. Says Mr. Onthank, “As I look back over my years at the University it would seem that we re quire an accident of this nature to warn students away from risks of this kind. We have not had such an accident for several years. I am afraid that the younger generation of students at least, not having been shocked by such an accident, are taking excessive risks. The river is unusually high, swift, and cold this year. Any upset in it is likely to be serious and almost certainly so unless those spilled are exceptional swimmers.” There have been far too many drowning acci dents on the Willamette river. Most of these would have been preventable if proper precautions had been taken. It was only a few years ago that the editor-elecL of the Emerald met this fate, and there have been many recent upsets that did not lead to fatal results. In the old days the typical collegiate student shot the rapids in his canoe, not because it pre- j sented any particular difficulty, but principally be- ; cause of the thrill of disobeying a University regu lation. The rapids have almost disappeared, but the river is still dangerous to the inexperienced swimmer and canoeist. The appointment of Janies Ghormley as basket ball manager by the executive council was O. K. His service in filling out the uncompleted term this year has been rewarded justly. A total of $28,000,000 is being saved this year by the 83 counties of Michigan, according to a compilation of budget cuts. On Other Campuses CRIPPLING THE COMING GENERATIONS iy>fORE than once President Glenn Frank has \ clearly pointed out an ominous tendency in | American legislative chambers today a tendency j which makes education the scapegoat of faulty t economic leadership. In other words, our economic j Jeaders having run us into various forms of debt, and huge expenditure cuts being made necessary, education has been curtailed unduly to meet these necessary cuts. They have been able to so abuse educational standards because this problem causes j little immediate resentment among taxpayers, be- , cause its effects are not immediately noticeable. And now, in the form of an article in the cur- j rent American Mercury, comes further confirma tion of President Frank’s charge. This time we read that the state of Kansas is wondering about its educational system, and with misgivings. That is as it should be, as it is also perfectly logical for the people of that state to come to realize that palatial school buildings alone cannot do much for students. Teachers are also important, and so are students who have the capacity to learn. But the report also has it that out of these observations extreme cuts in school appropriations are almost certain to result. I lie instances we have of extreme cutting are j certainly not limited to Wisconsin and Kansas. They are literally nationwide. There is nothing mysterious about 1 He reasons behind these cuts. We hr.ve stated them above, and they are bound up with the opinion of those who are doing the cutting that what exists five years from now is not half so important as that the cuts be made now. It is an extremely interesting form of na tional suicide. It is being done deliberately, but with absolutely no vision for the future. What is perhaps more startling to the unsus pecting citizen is this fact: in many places, the citizens are fully behind the moves their legislators are making to destroy the educational standards which have taken decades to build. They feel that they have weighed the question, and that nothing matters now so much as cutting costs. “We must still keep alive,” they say; and they do not realize that civilization thereat slips hack a notch. But ^ even that would not perturb them. The mania for cutting cost, is upon them, let it end where it may. they say. It can hardly occur to them that their children will some day be ashamed of what is now being done. Where wo are drifting cannot well bo judged. Perhaps under a now era education will be worth ies ■ At present, however, it is an invaluable aid toward better living. And as long as we make drastic retrenchments under present conditions, wo are doing nothing less than stealing from the banks of unborn children to balance our hopeless budgets. W o are crippling the children of tomorrow that we may stand straighter today. Their judgment of us. if nothing else, should stay our greedv hands.— i Wi.-cous.in Cardinal. i" V/fneED MORE education-^ \not less.

I| V C'M jCAGO HERALD-EXAMINERj Tne Medical School Fights Cancer II- -■■— /CONTINUED from yesterday is the following article on the University of Oregon medical school’s vigorous fight against cancer. The following paragraphs are excerpts from an article which appeared in the Sunday Oregonian magazine section. This is the concluding installment: * * * Most useful in the study of can cer cell grow’th is the part played by experimental animals, the oc currence of the malady in the low er creatures offering an opportun ity to scrutinize the offending cells not possible in humans. Foremost Among the animals studied are white mice, of which those on I Marquam hill are only a small por-! tion. The life span of the mice being so short it is possible to study many thousands of genera tions of mice during an interval in one human life. One cancer work er in the east has studied under rigid control conditions more than 90.000 direct lineal descendants of certain mice. By inter-breeding and cross-breeding experiments a certain strain of mice which will invariably produce cancer has re sulted. Not only will they produce cancer, but cancer of a certain structure which can be foretold. From this strain of mice are de scended those original cancer mice of Marquam hill, which now num ber more than 250. Breeding to produce a strain which will be re sistant to cancer has not been such a successful procedure. * * * The information obtained from compilation of careful world-wide .statistics and experiments is cir culated throughout all cancer fighting organizations, so that all units striving to reach a common goal may have the advantage of! each other's efforts. Probably the foremost single unit in this coun try is the American Society for the Control of Cancer, the Oregon branch of which is now being or ganized here throughout the state, j Working with this organization are the American Association for Cancer Research, the United States public health service, the American Coliege of Surgeons, and other medical units. Similar asso ciations in foreign countries make the fight against cancer world wide. From these sources of study have come certain authentic facts regarding the cause of cancer in the practical sense, although the absolute cause is still shrouded in mystery. In the first place, there is no evidence to show that cancer is an infection. Under the usual circumstances of living it is not contagious and cannot be trans ferred from one individual to another, although it has been transplanted experimentally under ideal conditions with the aid of an exacting technique. There is. prac tically speaking, no danger in see ing or being exposed to a person afflicted with cancer. This unwar ranted prejudice against those with cancer has worked great hardships on cancer sufferers in i the past, and has been one of the great difficulties in cancer work. # * * \\ itli or without an inherited predisposition cancer will usually not develop in the absence of an exciting cause. This exciting cause may be said to be the practical cause of cancer. It is really a sm - ■ e-'.-ion of causes, listed under the head of chronic irritation or chronic inflammation. It is doubt ful if cancer develops from a single blow or injury to a part. It is much more likely to develop following long-standing, repeated minor abuse or injuries. The injury may be mechanical, as cancer of the lip may develop from the heat of a pipestem, or from chemicals, as cancer of the skin has followed repeated appli cation of certain coal-tar products. Cancers of the tongue may result from infected or snags of teeth, as well as ill-fitting, irritating dental work. Cancers of the skin or stomach may start from the mar gins of old ulcers. Cancers of the womb may follow long-neglected tears or infection following child birth. Hot liquids, certain indus trial dyes and chemicals and long standing sinus or other infections may all serve as exciting causes of cancer if not properly guarded against. Various types of irrita tion, often as simple as the irrita tion of bits of clothing, may cause a previously benign abnormality to acquire malignant properties. Chief in this list is the dark pig mented mole or birthmark, which may become malignant without warning and spread rather rapid ly. # + * One of the greatest difficulties In dealing with cancer is the. treacherous nature of the condi-] tion, which may be present for weeks and months without making itself known to the unsuspecting. Most people consult a physician ] chiefly for the relief of pain. In cancer pain may be entirely ab sent. If present at all, it is usual ly quite late in the course of the disease. Pain in cancer is totally unreliable as a warning of possible danger. By the time it appears the surgeon usually can only shake his head and regret that he was not consulted earlier. There is no set rule for tile ap pearance of cancer. It depends upon the location and the type of tumor present, but usually the earliest sign is the presence of a lump. In times past this is prob ably the one tiling which caused people to see their physician in suspected cancer, and one thing which has saved countless lives, i If the lump happens to be on the! surface of the body it is readily detected and treatment instituted, but if it happens to be within the body, where it cannot bo detected! early, the cancer may have spread so far by the time it is discovered as to be hopeless. In a general way any swelling, bleeding, indi gestion. ulcer or chronic process which does not readily yield to simple treatment should be con sidered suspicious and investi-! gated. Tile time to detect cancer is! before cancer as such has devel-! oped. ”Jhe commonest sites of these forerunners of possible can cer are the skin, lips, mouth, | breast (both female and male),! womb, stomach and bowels. On the skin, chronic ulcers, horny warts or other warts which tend to harden, enlarge or scale, or to become moist and scab, and the single, flat, non-hairy moles of black color should be watched for the development of cancer. On the lip any hard lump at the margin, especially if it is ulcerat ing or scabbing, should be inves tigated. In the mouth any open sore that persists over three weeks, particularly in the elderly, should be considered suspicious. Breast cancers usually manifest themselves as a lump, or an ulcer ating process near the nipple. Any lump should be considered suspi cious, and a physician consulted at once. Not all breast lumps at the time of discovery are cancer, perhaps not over one in four, but many of the other kind may later become cancer if neglected, and the non-professional person is not sufficiently skilled to determine to which group the lump belongs. Early breast cancer can be cured, hence the need for early consul tation. * :!: * In case cancer is suspected there are things which should be done and things which should not be done. It is very unwise to be come panic-stricken. There is no need to fear cancer in this day and age to this extent. It should be respected, possibly, but cer tainly not unreasonably feared, for in many cases, if seen early enough, the condition is far from hopeless. Time is the most im portant single factor. Anything which wastes time before the con dition is diagnosed and treated may be fatal. This includes the well-intended advice of friends and relatives. For the same reason, all quacks and irregular nl thods of diag nosis and treatment should be scrupulously avoided. The danger here li&s in the actual damage which may be done, but more so in the valuable time which may be wasted, for with the wasted time may go the only chances of a cure. If suspecting cancer— without delay—consult a reliable physician and surgeon, preferably the family physician. If he can not recognize the nature of the process he will gladly recommend a colleague more skilled in this respect than himself. Should there be a doubt in many instances it will be necessary to study the growth under the microscope, but by consulting the family physi cian much worry, time and money may be saved. If the growth is determined to be cancer, there is no need for panic. Do not become fearful. In spite of all that may be said to the contrary, and in the face of the failure of myriads of past "cures,” cancer today is ranked as a curable disease. This state ment is not unqualified, and not all cases of cancer are or can be cured, any more than all cases of pneumonia or appendicitis can be cured. Nevertheless the percent age of cancers which can be cured is mounting annually. To accomplish a cure, how'-ever. two things are absolutely vital. In the first place the condition must be recognized and treated early in the disease. In the sec ond place, the treatment used must be thorough and adequate, and the type of treatment which has been proven to be the best at our command today, the only treatment which has stood the test of time. To employ anything less is to invite almost certain disaster. To resort to quackery, nostrums, advertised "cures" or irregular procedures, in the face of treatment which r- standard ized a> much as any progressing, intelligent, scientific treatment can be, is to be foolish in the ex treme. Some of the irregular treatments are frankly dishonest, most of them are ignorant, and all of them harmful, if for no other reason than that they may, through waste of time prejudice what otherwise might have been a cure. * * * The best results, weighed in the light of time and science, and the ( only hope of cure are obtained i through the use of early and ade-j quate surgery, or the use of radi-! ation with X-ray or radium. In; this respect the use of X-ray has j been a disappointment. Its field of usefulness in cancer treatment. is distinctly limited. Radium has a decided advantage over X-ray, but its field of usefulness is like- j wise limited. In the hands of the , unskilled, both radium and X-ray ■ may produce more damage than j good, through the destruction of normal healthy tissue, or the spreading and speeding up of the growth. None but a regularly li censed surgeon should be permit ted to treat cancer with radiation, and the specially trained surgeon will do so only after exercising all possible safeguards. * * * Today much cancer is prevent able. If seen sufficiently early after the onset, it is largely cur able. It is not contagious, and it should not be feared. It probably can be avoided to a large extent by frequent health examinations by the family physician, provided his advice is followed, once it is given. If cancer is suspected, se cure an immediate consultation, and be guided by the advice of physician and surgeon trained to safeguard health. If the suspicion proves justified, do not worry or become panic-stricken. The chances of a cure, when treated early, are as high as 80 per cent or more, depending' upon the site and nature of the growth. The one provision in addition • is that it must be attacked early. By an adequate use of the means of prevention, diagnosis and treatment at our command today it is within the realm of possibil ity that within another generation the intelligent use of these alone will go a long way toward rele gating cancer well down the rank ing list of statistics.

SCOPE OF LEGAL GROUP’S POWER GIVEN SCRUTINY (Continued from Page One) no declaration regarding the judi ciary committee’s action. Dick Neuberger, editor of the Emerald, last night said he thought Hitchcock had not been rejected for “good and sufficient” reasons, and declared he would communicate at once with the judiciary committee requesting a decision in the case. The Emerald checked last night with Marguerite Tarbell, A. S. U. O. secretary, to determine whether the motion asking that the judi ciary committee investigate its | statement had been passed unani mously. She replied that there was no dissenting votes to any motion before the council yesterday. QUEEN-ELECT GIVES HER VIEWS ON NATURALNESS .

The editor of the Emerald solicits opin ions and constructive criticism from the members of the student body. Safety On the River To the Editor of the Emerald: Sir: With the advent of good weather students are again taking to canoes. Most students who ca noe doubtless can swim and are skilled enough at handling a canoe so that no great risks are run. But some do not swim and some are not at home enough in a canoe to handle it under unusual condi tions on swift or rough water and so are in danger of coming into grief especially if they venture into the river. Every few years we have a fatal accident almost always resulting from just this combination of circumstances; that is, an expert canoeist who cannot swim or is not a suffi ciently powerful swimmer to get out of the river at this season, and upsets and drowns. Only a few years ago the editor-elect of the Emerald met this fate. As I look back over my years at the University it would seem that we require a fatal accident every two or three years to warn students away from risks of this kind. We have not had such an accident for several years. I am afraid that the younger generation of stu dents at least, not having been shocked by such an accident, are taking excessive risks. The river is unusually high, swift and cold this year. Any upset in it is likely to be serious and almost certainly so unless those spilled are excep tional swimmers. There is an old University regu lation forbidding students to shoot the rapids. The rapids have pretty much disappeared but the dangers in the river to inexpert canoeists have not. Other springs the Emerald has in one way or another warned stu dents against taking unnecessary risks of this kind. These warnings have been large ly instrumental in preventing fa tal accidents on the river during the last few years. We shall be glad if you can continue the good work this year. Sincerely, KARL W.

One of the factors which influ enced the council to wish to recon sider Zurcher was some material which he presented from his pro fessors, several of them saying he had an adequate opportunity to attain the grade average necessary to give him a junior certificate by the fall. A petition signed by 15 members of the Oregana staff, in cluding Virginia Wentz, editor, re quested that the council give Zur cher an additional hearing.
