Those who know him say he will be that way forever. rN his long and colorful career Bill Hayward has associated with men whose names are legendary in American athletics. A few of them come to' mind immediately the late Gentleman Jim Cor bett, Jiane Grey, Ty Cobb, Hugo Bezdek, Dink Templeton, Doc Spears, Howard Jones. Harry Hill man, A. A.

That mu b: a place in our hearts. He already has received that distinction from his “boys.” Let us join them in their love and loyalty for Oregon's “grand old man of athletics" -Colonel William L. Hayward. The death of Wilbur Thibault comes as a dis tinct shock to friends and associates in artistic and musical fields, where he was a recognized leader. Many students on the campus, who knew him in no other way, will remember him for his songs and inimitable musical stunts. The Emerald extends its sincerest sympathies to his family, friends, anti fraternity brothers. TWO SPLENDID COMMITTEE MEMBERS t fE are glad that the reappointment of Orlando ” 7 .1. Hollis and George S. Turnbull, faculty rep resentatives on the publications committee, will be little more than a mere formality. They have been two of the most efficient members of any A. S. U. O. committee all year. Mr. Hollis, with his unbiased parliamentary at titude, swayed by neither fear nor prejudice, and Mr. Turnbull, with his practical knowledge of newspaper policies and problems, have been inval uable to the committee. Their leadership has been instrumental in numerous progressive moves. It. indeed gives us great pleasure and satisfac tion to know that both probably will continue on the committee next year. Their reappointment by Tom Tongue and Bob Hall in all likelihood will be a matter of form, and the chancellor doubtlessly will not hesitate one moment in approving the selec tion of two such outstanding men. All year both Mr. Turnbull and Mr. Hollis have been staunch upholders of the age-old standard of the freedom of the press. Anyone who attempt * to forestall their continuance on the publications committee will repudiate the principle for which newspapers have stood down through the cen turies. And that person should be eyed askance by the press of the state. But of course no such thing will happen, and Mr. Hollis and Mr. Turnbull will be reappointed without fuss or ado by the 'A. S. U. O. presidents and the chancellor. That is our opinion. We hope we are correct. A MESSAGE OF THANKS A S we near the end of the year, we take this * opportunity to thank those whose assistance has enabled us to publish the Emerald. To Mr. Hall and his aides at the University press we are everlastingly grateful for their tolerance and pa tience with our many and frequent mistakes and “boners.” Those who assisted Mr. Hall were Stephen Cady, Frank Evans, George Brimlow, Carl Monroe, George Bullion, Howard Petit and Ernest Itae. YVe thank the Morning Oregonian, the Eugene Register-Guard and the Oregon Journal for their kind assistance in loaning us pictures and mats. We thank the faculty members and newspaper men whose generous advice and assistance often times saved us from our own foolish inclinations. We thank those who were big enough to accept criticism in the fair and parliamentary spirit in which it was given. Among this group we include Hubert Hall, the president of the student body. We1 thank the many students who assisted in the pub lication, distribution and financing of the Emerald. We thank the advertisers who were loyal and de voted enough to stick by us, even though some of our editorial views were not theirs. We wish we tiad the space to enumerate every one who aided us this year. But we can only make our appreciation of a general nature. To our many good friends we express appreciation and thanks. HIE LEM I UK SYSTEM A MOTHER critical polemic is leveled against the ^ * lecture system of education in schools where j the attendance compels large classes to meet. Ham ilton Holt, president of Hollins college, writes in n recent issue of “Survey": "The lecture system is a process by which the contents of the professor's notebook are transferred by means of t fountain pen to the student's note-' book, without having passed through the brain of cither. As for recitation, if anything is to be learned it is the student who should question the teacher, not the teacher the student. Did anybody get an education by being a sponge?" 1 he truth of Dr Holt’s attack comes home. But win m should we blame, the system or the student" With the class of students that are of a necessity admitted to higher educational institutions under the present mass education plan, there is no other recourse than to pour the condensed stream of "canned" knowledge into the students’ ears. How far would the average run of present-day colic;;; students “question" the professor on mat ter o class-work if given the opportunity? No matter tiow valid Dr Holt’s original premise iu is attacking the wrong point. Why pick on our educational system? It is deeper than that. It is tiie whole concept of civilization that our pres mt generation advances the idea of mass educa : on of univeis.il conformity -of wholesale pro duction there is the target where Dr. Holt's ar um should seek to penetrate, rather than rldi l'tiling a system that is merely the outgrowth of n civilization, and age. ; 1 1 ti;, a we seek to educate everyone to ap piuximately the same standard, we will have large i . t!:e lecture system, and correspondingly iocffvitive teaching methods for those who deserve PwK’ 1.. .,m„ uiu comprehensive education. Due Honor to Him Tonight By STANLEY ROBE COL. WILLIAM L. HAYWARD 1 On Other Campuses Anti-Climax rI''HE vicious fiends of evil that tear and rend the spirit of man, the all-enveloping canopy of darkness that often blanks his soul, tire blighting fear that grasps and twists his heart with icy fin gers—dread and dire as they are —they are far surpassed in hor ror and despair by the nauseating throes of anti-climax. A thing indeed to shun. The aspirations of man ever ask ad vancement— to pass from one ex perience to another that is richer yet, to have always an expansion of satisfaction, heap upon heap of added sensations, until a weight of glory marks the climax. Our desires reach on and upward, and to them retrogression deals a staggering blow. Perverse actual ity decrees frustration to our de sires, and sends an anti-climax to be our misery. It is not that our moments of joy turn to bitterness. That would be bearable. But the joy vanishes with sickening clarity, and leaves in its stead the nega tive insipidity of disillusion. The champagne does not turn to vine gar, but to tasteless and tepid water.

In an ideal world our satisfying experiences would first come to us in moderation, gradually grow ing in intensity and power, until the acme of their development co incided with the surrender of earthly life. Far otherwise with us. The complete harvest is often emptied at our feet in an early and crowded hour, bequeathing sterile soil to times that are to come. It would be good, in truth, if our existence could bounce itself down the chasm into eternity as soon as the climax had arrived. But hope plays the seducer, and we live. The pangs of joy and the pangs of pain are both unfelt; nothing remains but dullness, the inert boredom of vacuity. The appetite cloyed by anti climax has no grim enemy to be attacked, no devil to be cast out. It sits passive but impregnable, and only the resignation of ac ceptance, or the discovery of yet untasted sweets, can remove its bane. It drags intellect down to indifferent inefficiency, and hints of the blackness of the grave. By heavy heart and heavy thoughts may you know it. It comes like a thief in the night, and the bolts break at its approach.—McGill Daily. was sufficient to fill time and still youthful yearnings. Then the break. There is no point in rehearsal of the various steps by which this man changed from the son of a rich trader to Hie mate of a native woman and the father of three half-caste chil dren. although it would be unfair to suggest that there is not a great deal of fascinating detail turned up along the way. One such bit of detail is the freezing moment when an ancient native crone snatches another na tive’s baby and tosses it to a giant shark in order to propitiate the devilowhose habitat is the huge fish. Mr. Richards even found the white woman who "might have been" but wasn't. Yet probably the real pathos of the situat’on lies in the fact that this m a n ' s hypersensitiveness "sense of sin" has led him to over emphasize the anamolies of his sit uation so tragically. Contemporary Opinion . . . »KP. F. H. LtGuardia of New York, progressive leader in the house of representatives, lev elled some wqII directed criticism Enough Munts at the war department for allow ing U. S. army ordnance to be used for promotion “stunts” of a private propaganda nature. As an example of commercializa tion of army ordnance, Hep. La Guardia pointed out that last Sep tember a banquet was given to the president of a race track associa tion and that military caissons were loaned for the occasion by the commanding officer of Gover nor’s Island, New York, with the approval of the secretary of war. This is seemingly a small matter, but countless such examples could be cited where privileged insiders have capitalized on their “drag” for personal or propaganda pur poses. Staging lavish, expensive mili tary shows for war propaganda purposes is a practice that ought also to come in for round condem nation by progressives.

A Senior Complaint To the Editor of the Emerald: Sir: I noticed in the Emerald this week that graduating seniors will not receive their diplomas un ; til a month or more after the commencement exercises. After j spending four years in college, plus a large sum of money, for ' the purpose of getting a sheep skin, it is most disappointing when one finds that he or she will not get it on commencement day. After all, what thrill is there for the graduates outside of getting the diploma ? The speaker of the day j will probably tell us that there is | a world-wide depression and that we are about to enter a cruel, cruel world. It seems that the least the school could do is to give us the diploma right away, so we could have it to aid in combating this cruel world. So why can't the administration speed up the machinery a bit and get them out next month when we wear our caps and gowns. A SENIOR.

By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, May 18.—What ” ever inspired Joe Robinson of Arkansas, when he rose to the party leadership, to pre-empt as his post of command on the floo / the front row seat, center aisie, on the Democratic side, is certain ly not because he lacked voice power to make himself heard from a more distant location. By contrast, Big Jim Watson of Indiana, Republican floor marsha'., elected to sit in about the center of the Republican side. It is from, that vantage point he always speaks. * # * Possibly Joe Robinson figured iL would be well to place himself im , mediately under the eye of the presiding officer. As minority leader he may have thought it I necessary to make it difficult in a time of parliamentary distress J to ignore his bids for recognition. Or it merely might have been a | desire for oratorical room. Robinson is of the waving-fists roving-footsteps type of talker. The well of the senate, clear of obstructions, and the center aisle give him the space he needs. As the Long-Robinson feud over party leadership developed, the Louisiana “Kingfish” appeared to discover there was some strategic i merit in that Robinson front row ! seat. Long, physically active as ! an orator, roves a lot more than Robinson does. Senate traditions may not be able to curb his tongue to the expected silent role of a “freshman," but its rules put him in a back seat, speaking from the standpoint of the floor plan. Senator Huey, going strong, surges around among nearby desks to the apparent jeopardy of sena tor heads. He crashes among the chairs, beats on any available desk top and usually the discreet I among his senatorial auditors soon | withdraw from his immediate vi I cinity. Just before he left to participate in the Louisiana investigation which grew out of the Long-Brous sard row, Long discovered a new method. He observed a seat, flanking Robinson on the front row but over the center aisle on the Repub lican side, that frequently, was va cant. So he seized upon it. That put him on a geographical parity with Robinson and a lot of their exchanges went on thereafter al most at arm’s length from each other. How Robinson liked the Long innovation did riot appear. Senator Huey found it delightful, however. Every time he rose from the con fiscated chair to shoot in a verbal hot-shot, he would cap it by beam ing at the Republicans seated around him. He was holding the center of the stage, not only fig uratively but physically as well, and Senator Huey P. Long likes that.
