The Oregon Daily Emerald, official student publication of the University of Oregon, Eugene, issued daily except Sunday and Monday during the college year.

Hare of Hillsboro, a capable attorney, an upright citizen, and a man whose public record is spotless, has rejected an ap pointment to the state board of higher education. If evidence were required that Governor Meier was justified in his recent reorganization of the board, the frank language of Mr. Hare supplies it. It is evidence that thinking citizens are tired of the internal strife, the baok-alley whisperings of corruption, and the frequent outbreaks in open A CITIZEN SPEAKS OUT niiuwn uuvt iavjuuucvi W lUtn nave in and about the board were working at cross pur poses and were obstructing the real goal: namely, the impartial, honestly planned administration of the affairs of higher education in Oregon. Mr. Hare's refusal to accept a seat on the board, which by all rights should be a position of highest dignity and esteem, is his implicit declaration that if he were placed on the board, he could not be free to take steps which he feels should be taken, because the wise-acres would broadcast far and wide that he was acting in collusion with political forces. His very words are a rebuke: “Neither politics nor personalities have any place in our educational system. The sole con sideration is the welfare of the youth in our institutions of higher learning, and the rights of our people who are struggling to pay the costs of their education. A subtle charge that, my appointment to the board of higher educa tion has political significance has impaired my efficiency to render service and makes it im possible for me to accept the appointment. “I am sure that when you offered the ap pointment to me you were not thinking along political lines. 1 know that when I told you I would give the matter consideration my sole thought was whethei I could make the sacrifice necessary to be of service to the state. “1 do not have the slightest personal desire to serve upon the board. I gave consideration to duty to render a gratuitous and possibly a very unpleasant service. Before I had arrived at my decision, the question of politics in higher education was raised. In justice to you, i to myself, and to the cause of higher education, X have no alternative except to decline the service. “1 appreciate the sincerity of your purpose, and I trust that you may have the support of the people of our state in your efforts to bring about educational peace." In the light of such considerations, Mr. Hare was amply justified in refusing a seat on the board. It is only fortunate for the cause of higher educa tion that a man of equally good standing and of equal ability has been found who will take his place on the board and, along with Governor Meier and the other true friends of higher education, pitch into the task of scrubbing higher education's dirty linen. Willard Marks, in accepting the task, knows that he, too, will "render . . . possibly a very un pleasant service.” When the legislative interiih committee meets Saturday and confirms the appointment of Mr. Marks and Roscoe C. Nelson, the board of higher education will be off to a fresh start which will re store it to its deserved place in the public’s esteem. DVD’S DAY SO far as the Emerald has been able to learn, plans for a Dad’s Day celebration this year are still very, very much i i a haze. No chairman has been appointed, no date has been definitely selected, no program has been worked out, no advertising has been distributed. All of these things may seem of slight Importance until one realizes that Dad’s Day can only be a little more than three weeks away. For a number of very good reasons, the week end which brings to the campus the Idaho-Oregon football game on October 20 is practically the only one which will be available for Dad’s Day events. On the week-end immediately following, the foot ball team is in Los Angeles, and on the next suc ceeding week-end, when the team returns to Eu gene, Homecoming will be occupying the attention of students and alumni. The next week-end, that of November 3-5, will find the team in Seattle— and so on for the remainder of the season. Emerald files show that on a corresponding date last year arrangements for Dad’s Day were well under way. Unless immediate steps are taken to broadcast news of the event, attendance will be painfully slender. The Oregon Dads have done much within the last year fof which the student body is sincerely grateful. It would be indeed unfortunate if the arrangements for their entertainment were neg lected in even the slightest degree. THE CARNEGIE MUSIC GRANTS BACK of the aureal-tinged mask of college life that confronts the entering freshman, and even behind the hocus-pocus of the daily modicum of learning so carefully injected, intravenously as it were, into the recalcitrant student, there is certain work going on toward education. In many respects leading this serious attempt to make colleges a field for intelligent research in fields both aesthetic and intellectual, is the Car negie foundation. Enc'—!->ms and panegyrics with out end have been uttered over the tomb of Andrew Carnegie. But we come neither to bury Caesar nor to praise him. We offer merely an appraisal of the work that has been made possible by the revenues of the Carnegie fortune. The latest evidence of the hand of the shrewd Scotch financier is the grant enabling university students to enjoy free musical instruction in piano, voice, violin, cello, and organ. Lessons, which if taken from a private instructor would entail the payment of a high fee, and if taken under the ordi nary university curriculum would bar students not making music their major, are now offered to the novice and dilettante in music. The grant is given in the earnest hope that the appreciation of music will be fostered in as many students as possible. The university as a whole will benefit if more serious attention is given to the work made possible through this and other grants of a similar nature. Contemporary Opinion Kush Week TJ U3H WEEK, as it. is now conducted at the Uni versity of Oregon and Oregon State college, is an introduction to the regular school year. En tering boys and girls, before they have attended their first classes, are feted and pursued and pledged. And due to the financial predicament of the fraternities and sororities, and the fear of small registration, competition during the week just ended was the keenest in history, both at Eugene and Corvallis. It is to be hoped that in the not distant future, when general conditions have improved and the annual enrollment has become more or less fixed, the university and the college will prohibit pledging prior to the end of the first term, or possibly the end of tlie second term. As matters stand, this would work financial hardships on the houses, opening each year with a considerable number of vacancies. But in the final analysis, the state does not provide higher educa tion for the benefit of the houses, and certainly the first-year boys and girls do not have a fair op portunity to make a choice under the present ar rangement. The individual is hurried into a living unit for which he may be entirely unsuited, and the house in turn may be sorry it signed him. There is no argument for the system as it now stands except the financial argument Most of the larger eastern institutions now have a period of waiting, during which the first-year students have an opportunity to study the special ties and the reputations of the several houses, and during which the houses have an opportunity to observe the development of the high school heroes and heroines under university conditions. The Oregonian. Mannequin By PATSY LEE 'A LONG with the aforementioned new deal of yesterday's col umn in the land of feminispotism (a new word, incidentallyi comes the attempt of today's leading: de signers to create as becoming' a mode as humanly possible. A sen sible, practical mode is foremost, which eliminates all non-essentials, but at the same time giving the wearer a chance to make the most of her looks. A great many utility ensembles are being' shown. That is. a three, or four piece suit which may turned and twisted at a moment's notice to make two or three dis tinct outfits. It is a pleasure to note that alt the dresses of late are particularly neat and tidy without the giddlm ami unconse quentlal ends anti frills which ac companied the styles of not so long ago. Although a certain simplleitj reigns, we have returned to such tailored elegance that the old bank accounts, if any, went under a hor rible strain this fall. Furs, for in stance, are sensational, and the rarer the fur the more sensational the costume! Broadtail, caracul, leopard, and astrakau scent to be highest in fa vor with grey -quirre! giving cle „ant touches to navy blue und black. One coat, which struck Mannequin right smack in the face, had heaps of grey squirrel piled on the shoulders and around the neck-line, which lent a very mili tary, squarish effect. The mate rial was soft black broadcloth, and a slanty black hat of the same ma terial touched ever so lightly with grey squirrel completed the lavish outlay. The price tag read simi larly to the national war debt. Speaking of lavishness Manne quin is not an automobile column —but Mahr Reymers hits the deck today because of his car which un doubtedly belongs to the Edward ian period of collegiatism with its brass-bandings and unusual sound tag nausea vtjch we take to bt a horn. Mighty chic, Mahr. The Big Stick - - - By STANLEY ROBE I Looking at the Orient Editor’s note: This is the first , of a series of interviews with I three members of the University faculty who spent the summer visiting Japan, China and Man churia. Today John J. Lands bury, dean of the school of mu sic, gives his general impres sions of Japan. In succeeding issues Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, and H. V. Hoyt, dean of the school of business administration, will be represented. By HENRIETTE HORAK Japan, the proverbial land of cherry blossoms, is no longer a stage hand in the great drama of international affairs. "It has be come a star actor,” declared Dr. John J. Landsbury of the Univer sity of Oregon department of mu sic, in an interview based on his recent trip through the Orient. "Japan has become strong militar istically, and the eyes of the world are upon her and watching her ev prv movfl.” Dr. Landsbury, in company with Dean Eric W. Allen of the Univer sity school of journalism, Dean H. V. Hoyt, of the school of business administration, Mrs. Anne Lands bury Beck, and Mrs. Winnie Mc knight, sailed from Portland on the General Sherman on July 26 for an extended pleasure trip to Japan and China, which included visits to principal cities of Japan, Manchoukuo, and Peiping in China. Japan is the land of “art and might" in the face of the common opinion that art cannot go along with might and power, and that like religion, it is supposed by some to be just for old men, wo men, children, and fools, pointed out Dr. Landsbury. “The Japanese love beauty. Give them a patch of bare ground, and they will make a beautiful garden out of it. The costumes of Japan also symbolize this characteristic, in that, they are useful as well as beautiful." Dr. Landsbury said he noticed tremendous changes in Japan E(S01BE1SEJS13®313JSE13J3ISJ3MSJBJSJS® Young Men’s Suede Leather Jackets Leather Collar in Coca and Sand $7.90 Value $6.39 Heavy Double-Sole Brogues Scotch Grain, Steel Heel Plate $4.98 C.J.Breier 1 sjaiaMaEiajaiBiaiajaraiaiaiajaiaiaj HAMBURGER SHOPPE Try Our • CENT HAMBIHUEHS Ne::t Colonial Tbea'sr since his last visit in 1928. All the cities are being rebuilt along west ern lines. It is with a note of sad ness that one sees these changes because there was so much that was beautiful in the old Japanese civilization. One thing that can give Americans an understanding of Japan is to stop and realize that we first, then other nations, pulled Japan out of her isolation, and that she has been an apt pupil. “Japan,” stressed Dean Dands bury, “is now passing through the throes of growing pains, but is rapidly adjusting herself to mod ern conditions and colossal eco nomic and social changes. In short we must realize that Japan is no longer a child; she has practically grown up and must be treated ac cordingly.” Turning to China, Dean Lands bury said that it is the most inter esting, most pathetic, most po tentially troublesome nation on earth today, because for centuries it has been the victim of chaos caused by extreme corruption, and what the Chinese themselves call “squeeze.” She has been an easy victim of western greed. “I believe,” said Dr. Landsbury, “if I lived to be 400 years old, I should see China in the same dis turbed condition, unless China ac quires a spirit of national con sciousness, developed through im provements in transportation, ed ucation, or influences from outside altruistic intervention. "Some Chinese scholars have told me that if Japan were to gov ern China, the country would lose politically, but would at least have law and order.” While the trip was made chiefly for recreational purposes, the Uni versity of Oregon party of educa tors made an informal inspection of Japanese industries, newspa pers, and halls of music. Dr. Landsbury lauded the Jap anese people for their great kind ness, courtesy, and boundless hos pitality, and expressed his great faith in the part Japan will play in the future of nations. * t * 4» * I 4 I I 1 | i DANCE - to - BERNIE FAUNCE’S COLLEGE CLUB BAND Friday and Saturday Nites % + ? + 4 * * I + * MIDWAY Dance Sunday Nite—7:30 to 10:30 * l’liono S[)vins.|'icl,l 1<)4 for Table Reservations Have You Seen Those New Portable Typewriters?

One of the freshman bright lights was heard remarking “that guy—that guy Staff must be aw fully brilliant. Look at all the courses he teaches.” Lousy, isn’t it? A group of the Theta Chi speed-balls beat that though. The lads went down to Lee Dukes for a meal (plug) and during the repast the waitress brought in bullion in the tra dition cups. Says Hollopeter, “No thanks, I don't care for coffee.” That passed without comment, but when Jack Granger, influenced by the re mark, absent - mindedly put two spoonfuls of sugar in his cup, even Cate could see that something was wrong. Another one of our secret opera tives informs us that Mrs. Eric W. Allen, wife of the estimable dean of the school of journalism, earned the family’s bread this summer by cutting Dean LancLbury’s lawn. At least our operative assumes she was paid for this labor, al though it has been maintained that she still retains her amateur standing as a lawn-cutter.
