LET’S CLEAR THE ATMOSPHERE
TT is time for a decision on the matter of recruit
ing students for the University and the state
college. Last summer a group of Eugene citizens,
assisted by the affiliated living groups of the cam
pus, conducted a campaign to induce high school
graduates of the state to continue their education.
The activities of that group have been subjected
to criticism, largely induced by an editorial in the
Morning Oregonian of October 3.
The Associated Friends made no secret of their
work. They announced publicly that il was being
carried on, and they were given the support and
commendation of the chancellor. They tried con
scientiously to give applicants for information fair
and unprejudiced information. The tactics they
employed were praised by Charles D. Byrne, direc
tor of information for the state board of higher
education.
The Oregonian not only condemned the recruit
ing activities conducted by the Associated Friends
of the University but also those conducted by the
state college. Says the Oregonian, the ‘‘need of
the Oregon university and the college is not for
pulling and hauling of prospective freshmen. Under
that system we are getting lower, not higher at
tendances.”
The Emerald realizes that the state board of
higher education expressly forbade recruiting ac
tivities by the separate institutions. And it real
izes that recruiting is conducive to rivalry and ill
feeling between the two schools yet the Emerald
condones the recruiting activities on both campuses
in the light of circumstances that are beyond the
control of the university and the college.
These circumstances are well known. They cen
ter about the administrative bickering and the fac
, tional strife and confusion on the state board of
higher education itself, which were reflected and
magnified by the press of the state until public
confidence in the system was destroyed. The result
was, of course, that great numbers of students be
gan to go outside the state for their higher edu
cation.
It was to stem this tide of students going out
side of the state that the Associated Friends of the
University directed their efforts.
The chancellor made no objections when Oregon
State college, issued a special edition of the O. S. C.
Barometer to all high school students advertising
Uie advantages of Oregon State college. He recom
mended that the Emerald do the same, but the
Emerald, as the organ of the Associated Students,
felt it unwise to publish such an issue. Last spring
the Oregonian's report of a speech made at Cor
vallis quoted the chancellor as saying that the state
college should adopt a broad program of recruiting,
and that he planned to tell the university folk to
do the same. At the final assembly last spring the
chancellor urged every student to bring back one
or two new students.
If the university is to be criticized for the sum
mer campaign of the Associated Friends, the chan
cellor should be among the first to defend that cam
paign.
At any rate, the q ■ \stion of recruiting should
be brought up at the next meeting of the state
boatd of higher education, and should be settled once
and for all time. It is obvious that some form of
recruiting is necessary, whether conducted by the
citizens of Eugene and Corvallis, the living groups
on the two campuses, or by the state system of
higher education. Without it the schools of Oregon
will continue to suffer as the schools of neighboring
states draw Oregon students.
THE V. (. \. S<{1 \HBLE
TT is extremely doubtful whether the charges
■*- brought against the campus Y. W. C A. yester
day by certain cabinet members arc as serious as
at first blush they would seem to be. Counter
charges brought by Y. W. C. A. officials seem to
indicate that blame for the dispute should not be
concentrated wholly upon the president of the Y.
W. C. A. cabinet and those of her officers who re
mained loyai to her in the present dispute. The
Emerald will probably never bo permitted to see
to the heart of the trouble or discern the motives
and grievances which precipitated the squabble, aud
the Emerald shall not presume to attempt to set
itself up as an arbiter.
The fact is that the Y. W. C. A. has been the
object of intermittent criticism for a number of
years, anti the general attitude of the campus to
ward the Y. W. C. A. at present is not such as tq
make prospects seem bright for a hasty recovery
from this present crushing blow.
The criticism at the Y. W. C. A. has been un
wittingly fostered by the organization itself in its
unremitting succession of drives and sales. Men
and women on the campus have grumbled, but have
usually come across. Here are the activities that
have aroused criticism:
The sale of small green pennants decorated with
a yellow "O”; price ten cents.
An apple sale; price per candied apple, if we
remember correctly, ter. cents.
A waffle luncheon; all men’s houses were ex
pected to close their diring rooms on the day of the
sale and the men had to buy the Y’s waffles, served
at sorority houses. If your idea of a satisfactory
luncheon did not coincide with that of the Y. W.
C. A^, you bought your lunch at a restaurant.
A “donut drive”; probably one of the least an
noying of the sales, and one for which full value
was returned in merchandise; but a nuisance when
added to the other sales and drives.
A flower sale; an innovation last year, we be
lieve, launched at junior week-end.
In addition, the Y. W. C. A. asked each member
of every sorority to give 00 cents a term for the
support of the year’s program. There was nothing
compulsory about this contribution, and several
houses were willing to pledge only 50 cents for the
entire year.
Had the feeling been prevalent that the Y. W.
C. A. was returning to the campus benefits propor
tional to the sums taken from the campus, the fric
tion would not have occurred.
We are convinced that the Y. W. C. A. is mak
ing a sincere attempt this year to eliminate much
of the political activity that has obscured its true
purpose in the past, and that it, has had the inten
tion of eliminating some of the sales which pro
voked animosity. We believe that Miss Binford,
president of the cabinet, is sincerely striving to
keep the religious and educational aspects upper
most. Yet in the past we have been informed that
little time was devoted to religious matters in com
parison with that devoted to discussions of sales
and drives and social activities. The greater num
ber of those underclass women who attended did
so under compulsion—the Y. W. C. A. was regarded
as a stepping stone to campus "activities,” and
nouses gave "activity points” for participation in
Y. W. C. A. activities.
The internal strife that has split the Y. W. C. A.
cabinet has had its salutary effect as well as its
destructive effect. It has brought into the fore
ground the fact that the Y. W. C. A. is attempting
this year to improve its status on the campus. The
Y. W. C. A. must now redeem itself still further.
It must show the students that it is returning some
thing to them for the support they give it. It must
prove that it has reduced the scale of its financial
program to a degree comparable with other organi
zations of a similar nature. By the services and
benefits it renders, it must show that it deserves
Ihe esteem that it has lost in the eyes of many by
reason of its former compulsive, grasping policy
of year-round mendicancy.

The commissioner of education, realizing the
plight of most college students today, has asked
that college students working their way be ex

Taking the stand that the minimum wage and hour
requirements would make college “much more dif

If Administrator Johnson is aware of economic

Contemporary Opinion j
____l
A Wise I’oliey tor Colleges
rT'HK University of Oregon announces a new plan
this year to withhold certain social privileges
from entering freshmen whom it finds to be of low
scholastic ..rating. Tests are given all freshmen as
they enter, and they are scored on the strength
of theii mental ability as well as high school record.
Thus a rating is obtained which has been proven
about 95 per cent accurate in determining the stu
dent's fitness for college work.
The new rules prevent a student who is in the
lower 10 per cent of his class from joining a social
fraternity until he has demonstrated that he means
business and can apply himself to his studies. Thus
he is kept away from the social distractions of the
fraternity and the fraternity is saved the distrac
tions of his presence.
What applies to a fraternity might well apply
to the college as a whole. Too many students are
in college who have no business whatever to be
there. The basis for college entrance in state in
stitutions is simply the ability of the student or his
family to spend the necessary money. The school
pays little attention to the fact that some students!
are lazy, shiftless, or downright dumb. True, there
are provisions for a student to "flunk out." but he
may escape that penalty and still not learn enough
to justify the time and money spent to keep him
there.
Taxpayers feel that they own an interest in the
state-supported schools ami that therefore tlie state
must accommodate their children. Some day this
will be changed, and only those young people wht
can demonstrate real ab'lit' will be given a thane
to attend the colleges.—Grant.* r.t Bulletin.

¥ PUT that town behind me like
-*■ a bad dream. But it proved to
be not exceptional. From there I
went to Neckargemund, a small
community near the Neckar river.
I arrived on a Saturday afternoon,
the Jewish sabbath. At the home
of the rabbi I found a portion of
his small congregation. The hands
of the man were swathed in band
ages; the women were sobbing and
crying. The rabbi told their story.
During the services the Nazis had
broken into the synagogue. They
had thrown the torch and other
implements of the altar into the
street. The women they had or
dered to clean the town hall, with
the command, “It’s about time you
dirty Jews were doing some work.”
While the Jewish mothers and
daughters scrubbed the floors on
their hands and knees, the storm
troopers stood over them and beat
them with whips. The men un
derwent worse torture. At gun
point they were lined up before
the synagogue. Red flags, sup
posedly symbols of communism,
were placed in their hands and set
afire by the Hitler troopers. The
flags burned down to their hands,
but the men were not permitted
to drop them until their fingers
and knuckles were seared. One old
man w hose trembling hands
dropped the burning rags was shot
through the shoulder.
“I stayed three days with those
forlorn people. At night they sat
in total darkness, trembling lest
the Nazis come in and inflict fur
ther punishment. By day they'
stayed in their homes, afraid to j
venture on the streets. Slowly j
they watched their savings dwin
dle, knowing tire day would come!
when they would not longer have
money to buy food.
"Next I went to Heidelberg.
Surely. I thought, that citadel of
German culture, the site of the
famous university, could not be
the scene of such brutalities as we
had witnessed in the Neckar coun
try. The train was crowded with
Brown Shirt troopers. The streets
were dense with men in uniform.
Every building flew the swastika
flag. Even on the streetcars Nazi
banners fluttered. The occasion
was the appearance that night of
Dr. Alfred Rosenberg. Britain had
given him an icy reception, but he
was a hero in Heidelberg. A vast
throng jammed the amphitheater
of the historic castle to hear him.
Its howls of approval as he de
nounced democracy and urged ■
purification of the Aryan race I
echoed along the cliffs below the;
ancient walls.
“The next day 1 visited the uni
versity. The first thing apparent
was that Heidelberg had gone
"football" in a big way. All in
centives to culture, intelligence,
and independent thought had been
removed. The laboratories, where
experiments had enabled Otto
Warburg, expelled for being a Jew.
to discover the difference between
cancer cells and normal epithelial j
cells, were deserted. But the duel
ling ring v.a. net Before Hitler
.tiCeuded to the chancellorship,
dueling had been forbidden for
several years at Heidelberg. Now
it is the rage. Youths with fresh
scars on their faces, courtplaster
on their cheeks, and swastikas on
their arms have replaced the
thinkers and scientists to whom
Heidelberg owes its reputation.
"I also noted the paradox of the
one new building at Heidelberg—
the Robert Schurman lecture hall.
It was built largely through the
generosity of American Jews, but
Jewish professors may not mount
its rostrum. On the bronze plate
which lists the donors are the
names of such prominent Ameri
can Jews as William Fox, Julius
Rosenwald, Mortimer Schiff,
Adolph Zukor, and Samuel Sachs.
Also included is the name of Wil
liam H. Woodin, secretary of the
treasury. I wanted a. photograph
of the plate and opened my kodak.
Uniformed attendants wear swas
tikas came running. "Kein Bild,
kein Bild!” They cried. I was
hustled from the building. A young
Nazi ,,with a bayonet at his side
and a revolver in his belt forbade
my reentrance.
‘‘In Heidelberg I talked with
many brilliant scholars, most of
them non-Jews. They deplored the
havoc Hitler has wrought in the
university and confided the fear
that the once great school was
ruined forever as a center of cul
ture. One old man, a socialist and
liberal, raised his voice louder than
the rest. For 44 years an instruc
tor, he had been dismissed sum
marily for his political views.
‘America must help us.' he said.
‘This is not alone a fight of the
Jews. It is the battle of everyone
who believes in \democracy and
freedom. You will do a great ser
vice if you carry this message to
the liberal and fearless men in
your congress.’ The old man con
tinued to talk freely on the cause
of democracy all the time I was in
Heidelberg. When I left there I
promised to help him obtain a visa
for America. But it was not nec
essary. Three days later the Na
zis invaded the old professor's
home at night. In the morning his
wife found him at the foot of the
stairs, his skull crushed in.
' From Heidelberg I turned again
to smaller communications. .Every
where I saw evidence of cruelty,
violence and death. At Landau a
Catholic merchant and his Jewish
secretary, whom he refused to dis
charge after five years' faithful
service, were paraded through the
streets. About the girl’s neck was
hung a sign, 'T have been this
man's Jewish prostitute for five
years.'' In the same town three
Jews and two non-Jewish social
ists were dragged from a cafe in
the middle of the afternoon and
beaten in an adjacent lot with j
whips ot hose and steel cord. I
saw their lacerated and torn backs.
At Durkheim an old Jewish butch
er from which my fricuds occa
sionally purchased cold meat or
sausage paid with his life for his
refusal to obey a Nazi command
to iii. Onc n.orn1 n^
found the store closed. Ihc old

OF “NEW GERMANY”
To the Editor:
In the Emerald last week ap
peared remarks by Mr. Goodnough
on the article "The New Ger
many" by the moving European
student, Mr. Neuberger. I wish
to state I heartily agree in the
main with Mr. Goodnough.
Back in the first quarter of the
nineteenth century Lord Byron, in
preface to his satire "English
Bards and Scotch Reviewers," said
something we like: "An author's
works are public property: he who:
purchases may judge, and publish
his opinions if he pleases." In our
opinion. Mr. Neuberger's sensa
tional treatment of Nazi hounding
of Jews in Germany recalled an
other farcical production of a flu
ent pen. Here was "Uncle Tom's j
Cabin” in high color and higher]
bias.
Our Emerald's ex-editor, fresh
from foreign by-ways, has early
shown the same penchant that
first-time voyageurs usually are
wont to inveigh. He wants to tell
the world what the world has
missed seeing. With the zeal of a
Stowe and the irony of a Thaddeus
Stevens, he flays the flayer. To
him there is only one purpose with
which the picture of persecution
goes forth in words not dulled by
toleration or judicious weight. He
achieves the sensational by two
routes—playing up of one-sided
sordidness, and the lambasting of
truly great men like Isadore
Strauss. It had to be Mr. Neu
berger who forsook the main ar
teries of travel in order to invade
the land of goblins.
But perhaps we are too rough
on our chauvinistic knight of the
pen. Let us explain. When South
ey, virile Tory critic, attacked
Hallam, Whig historian of Eng
land, for biased views, he could not
forgive perversion of justice in
prejudicial treatment of past
transactions. But he could coun
tenance an unescapable portion of
prejudice from writers of contem
porary history. The latter believe
they present a fair case, because
they represent what seems to them
the only fair party. So may our
contributor to The Nation be
judged.
To deal alone with atrocities
may in itself be called propaganda.
How fresh our memory of the days
when we sailed to France, also
under the auspices of an uncle
(Sam). The Boche should be pun
ished for heinous crimes to civili
zation. After the ordeals of war
fare were over, we came back
home to a waiting audience. But
most of us could not and would
not pour into their ears a story of
“how wantonly cruel the Germans
were.” We had faced "Jerry”
across the trenches, and there our
enmity of him stopped. The “hor
ror" propagandists have long since
been silent. There arose cool and
sane thinkers like Fave.
Let us not forget the chaos that
led to the rise of Hitler in Ger
many. Teutonic nationalism had
to be revived. No one of us wishes
to sanction racial persecution, and
we do not. But persecutions, reli
gious and political, are a part of
every nation’s history. And not
always are we quite certain (until
perhaps a century rolls by)
whether severest measures taken
to save a state may be called per
secution.
While picturing Herr Hitler as
Simon Legree to Jewry, and while
telling us of “even” seeing Ger
man children imitating warfare,
let Mr. Neuberger not forget
Christmas will soon be here. As
usual, lots of little American boys
will be rewarded by Santa Claus
with shiny tin soldiers and guns
that really shoot.

C. A. is definitely beneficial to the
campus.
Benefits Listed
The following are some of the
benefits in which 600 women par
ticipate annually at the Y. W. C.
A. of the University of Oregon:
(a) Benefits which active par
ticipation in campus program
bring are briefly summarized as
follows: development of leader
ship, friendship, talents, associa
tions, ideas, and ideals.
(b) The Y. W. C. A. offers to
the campus the most central and
widely used meeting place on the
campus.
(c) The Y. W. C. A. program is
recognized by the national Y. W.
C. A. as a super-program, thus
bringing national recognition to
the University of Oregon and the
local association.
(d) Everyone benefits directly
or indirectly from the moral and
social influence extended by the
Y. W. C. A.
(e) The existence of the Y. W.
C. A. is not of temporary value,
but a force in building for perma
nent social and economic recon
struction. not only in college, but
also in years to come.
7. It had previously been de
cided that there would be two less
sales this year than last.
s. the Y. W. C. A. receives no
University support, as do some or
ganizations on the campus.
9. The assertion was made and
discussed at the annual A. W. S.
planning conference in September,
organized and led by Miss Failing!
that "the Y. VV. C. A. is known on
the campus only as a political or
ganization, thus defeating its pur
pose." Our efforts have been di
rected toward correcting this
charge.
10. Those who were on the cab
inet for political reasons have been
asked to resign.
11. In this organization the as
sociation purpose and campus poli
tics are not to be mixed.
12. Our effort this year is di
rected toward having an active in
teiested, and thinking member
ship, rather than toward opening a
field for campus political activity.
13. A secretary is absolutely es
sential to the vitality of the educa
tional-program of the Y. W. C. A.
Those acquainted with this respon
sibility know that it requires full
time, although the secretary is
paid and hired only on a part-time
basis. Less than half her salary is
raised by the students.

the Delt took a hefty swing and
landed a beauty in the other’s eye.
Multitudes of people dove forward
to separate them, but it wasn’t
necessary; the Chi Psi took one
look at his opponent, who was
about shoulder high to him, and
decided that he couldn’t be both

elegant mouse the next day.
Our sororities have heard with a
great deal of interest the news

Gwendolyn C. Elsemore, resigned
; '-ice-president of the cabinet, said:
My destructive influence, which
is causing the Y. W. C. A. so much
j consternation, was not brought to
I my attention until after I sug
gested in cabinet meeting a week
ago Monday night that the tenta
tive budget there presented, be cut
$l6o. As for my political designs
while a member of the Y. W. C.
A. , they seem to point to approxi
mately two years of concentrated
effort in that organization.
I still maintain that the recom
mendation which was supposed to
have been presented to the finance
committee was side-tracked. I
base my argument upon the af
firmation of the chairman of the
finance committee.”
