FRIENDS IN NEED—
'IT' EjtV students realize the extent of the work done
during the past summer by the Associated
Friends of the University, a group of Eugene busi
ness and professional men and alumni, which, with
the assistance of organized living groups, carried
on an all-summer promotional program in behalf
of the University.
Last night the leaders of this group met to take
inventory of the summer’s work and the benefits
accruing to the University as a result. And here
are some of the results disclosed:
A total of 1400 personal letters was written to
prospective students, describing Oregon's educa
tional facilities and giving advice as to training in
the professional schools and the liberal arts depart
ments.
Four hundred and sixteen graduates of Oregon
high schools were interviewed personally.
A splendidly edited newspaper, "The University
of Oregon Times," was distributed to 10,000 high
school graduates and to 5000 Oregon dads, mothers,
and alumni, painting vividly the benefits of college
training. The paper was amply illustrated with
views of the Oregon campus.
Mimeographed letters were sent to 2000 Oregon
dads, mothers and alumni.
One hundred and seventy-four University of
Oregon students devoted part of their time during
the summer to the task of interviewing high school
graduates and advising them as to the benefits to
be derived from further education.
An office was provided, furnished and main
tained in Eugene throughout the summer as head
quarters for the activity.
Even more to their credit was the manner in
which the Associated Friends carried on their work.
Everything was accomplished in dignified, straight
forward fashion, for from the very start of their
campaign they have scorned to employ unfair
methods of recruiting and have refrained from pre
senting to prospective students any comparisons
whicli would give tlie University an unfair advan
tage over other institutions of the state.
The following statement of policy, adopted by
the Associated Friends early in July, was observed
in spirit and in letter:
"Tlie Associated Friends of the University make
no misrepresentations of the cultural and profes
sional fields of study offered at the University or
at other Oregon institutions of higher learning. We
have no desire nor intention to bring (o the Uni
versity any students whose educational inclinations
and professional intentions would make Iheir en
rollment at the University inadvisable."
The Associated Friends have amply demon
strated that an active, aggressive recruiting cam
paign can be carried on without mud-slinging or
misrepresentation.
It must be borne in mind, as we proceed to esti
mate the value of the work done this summer, that
the University and all the other state-supported
institutions of higher learning have gone through n
peculiarly trying period of financial stringency, ad
ministrative discord, and political shuffling and
that, therefore, the success of the Friends’ cam- ,
paign is a triumph over obstacles of the most diffi- !
cult sort. ■ ^ —
We find that sopliomore, junior, and senior;
classes in the University have all shown drops in
registration in comparison with figures for last |
yeur. The freshman class, however, upon which
the work of the Associated Friends was concen
trated, is larger than it was last year. It is ttic!
foundation upon which will be built ever increasing 1
first-year clashes.
There is another nuaiu of compart on by wine 1 ,
we can determine the value of the work done last I
summer. It is a comparison with our sister insti
tution, the Oregon State college. The Emerald
knows little about the recruiting methods used by
the Corvallis institution, but that it was less effec
tive than the plan used by the Associated Friends
is evident.
Oregon State college, according to the most re
liable reports obtainable, is at the present time run
ning approximately 14 per cent behind last year’.;
registration figures. The University has only a
five per c^nt drop, a showing which must be attrib
uted to a large extent to the work done by the
Associated Friends. A fairly conservative estimate
indicates that the final enrollment on the Eugene
campus will be in the neighborhood of 2200 stu
dents, or only about 100 below the total figures
for the fall term cf 1~22.
Thus analyzed, the remarkable record made by
the Associated Friend;, of the University in their
first year of activity is a splendid one.
Most satisfying of all, however, is the assurance
that the constructive work started this summer will
be continued and enlarged. A year-round program
is in prospect, and an organization is to be per
fected which will be a guaranty of steady growth
and prosperity for the University of Oregon. These
diligent workers for the University can not develop
their program on the ambitious scale that they pro
pose, however, without a full measure of support
from the University itself. This the students must
supply. And when the Associated Friends call upon
the student body for assistance and backing, the
Emerald hopes that every Oregon man and woman
will leap to action and will work shoulder to shoul
der with these true friends of education.
“AN AGGRESSOR NATION”
<< \ N aggressor nation is one using its troops on
foreign soil.”
Those are the words used by Franklin D. Roose
velt last spring when he offered his definition of
an “aggressor nation” to all foreign powers.
Today thousands of labor union radicals in Ha
vana are staging demonstrations against "United
States imperialism," and Uncle Sam has sent, battle
ships to the scene, prepared, if necessary, to land
his troops on Cuban territory in order to protect
American business interests on the island, particu
larly the large sugar holdings.
At the end of the Spa.nish-American war, the
United States did not hasten to evacuate Cuba. At
that time the Cubans were anxious to have the
protecting hand of Uncle Sam hovering over them.
The American troops only departed after Theodore
Roosevelt had seen a Cuban constitution drawn up
containing the Platt amendment, an alteration
which was purely the work of the United States,
but at the same time advocated by many Cubans.
This amendment gives the United States undeniable
right to intervene in such an emergency as exists
today.
Previous to United States intervention in Haiti
and Santo Domingo shortly before we entered the
World war, foreign nations had intimated that they
might intervene should the United States fail to
do so.
It will be embarrassing to President Roosevelt
if he is forced to land marines on Cuban soil, for
it is certain that Japan and other nations will seize
upon the action as evidence the president of the
United States “thinks high and does low" to use
a phrase critics have employed in criticizing Presi
dent Wilson.
It is true that the United States is intervening'
in Cuba purely to protect foreign investments, but
better she than any other power. And already for
eign nations, Spain among the foremost, have sug
gested that the United States adopt protective
measures.
In spite of any embarrassment which the presi
dent may suffer, wise policy dictates intervention
at the first moment that violent outbreaks threaten
foreign lives and investments.
Contemporary Opinion
Deflation Hits Colleges
17EW American institutions have been hit harder
by ttie depression than the educational system,
j Anil their woes are not only those which arise from
a shortage of ready cash; they come from a dawn
ing' realization that the American college or univer
sity has, in too many cases, been off on tire wrong
track during the past decade. The depression lias
i simply made this fact plain.
I The editor of “The Chakett," the official organ
of the Chi Phi fraternity, remarks that evidence
| of this is to be found in the sadly deflated condi
j tion of thousands of college graduates today. Look
ing back at the past few years, he indicts a whole
j college generation, in words that are worth consid
j ering.
Recalling the thousands of young men who wont
1 to college with no particular desire to get an edu
cation and won their degrees without ever really
l opening their eyes to the real problems of the day,
he says:
"I doubt if a more superficially minded genera
tion ever canto of age. It is indeed not at all un
likely that future historians will say that while the
foundations of western society were breaking up,
j the young men of American universities were
watching football games, going to tea dances and
! aping the manners of a corrupt plutocracy,
“From out of these universities, in my time at
least, came thousands of bachelors of arts and
sciences who neither knew nor cared what arts
and sciences are, whose solitary aim was to link
up with a business enterprise in which a lot of
money could he quickly made. They brought noth
ing with them save manners, ‘personality' and
acquisitive ambition."
These men, today, are in a sorry fix; and part
of the responsibility, at least, must be laid on the
universities. The universities, as this fraternity
editor lemaiks. “displayed a greater zeal for plant
and equipment than for learning, they paid coaches
more than professors, they built stadia instead of
libraries, they sought endowments rather than
scholars , . . and made it very easy for young men
to pass through college, degree m hand, but with
minds that had never even been required to think “
Out of the depression, let us hope, there wi'l
come a tightening up of Die educational system, a
return to first principles and a discarding of false
Ideals so that -neb :• criticism a- Mv cca never be
made again,—Eligeue Kegi.ter-Guard.

“I want to put in a minority re
port,” stated Dean Eric W. Allen,
when asked for comments on im
pressions of his companions which
appeared in recent publications of
the Emerald and various other
publications.
“All of our party came back
with a feeling of enhanced friend
ship for the people of both China
and Japan. Nothing could be
warmer than the cordiality with
which we were treated in both
countries. We developed a distinct
liking for both the Japanese and
the Chinese.
“However, I want to disasso
ciate myself from some of the
public expressions of my col
leagues. No one can admire the
achievement of the Japanese
more than I do, and no one has a |
warmer admiration for the fine
and orderly civilization they have
built up in their own country.
“The question of any proposed
extension of Japanese imperialism
over China or northern China is
on the other hand a horse of quite
a different color, and on this I
returned a decided sceptic.
“As I see it these grandiose mil
itary dreams being indulged in by
the aggressive groups that control
a half a dozen leading nations of
the world today, can lead only to
trouble, bankruptcy, and human
unhappiness.
“Japan had undoubted rights in
Manchuria. She should have been
patient and law-abiding; even in
the very trying circumstances that
existed, she might, by continued
civil pressure, have assured a rea
sonable degree of respect for her
rights and a reasonable expansion
of profitable trade.
“As it is, she has indulged in an
immensely expensive military ad
venture. The yen has gone down
to 27 cents, and the national bud
get is in grave doubt. The profits
are all gone.
“I am unable to follow the Jap
