THE COMMISSIONER TAKES A HAND rT"'HE University will take lessons today from the state commissioner of labor on the manner of handling controversial questions. The commissioner has apparently divined the seriousness of the dis pute which has raged over the janitorial service for the past week, and has made arrangements for a flying trip from Salem to Eugend to restore peace. , The plan of attack upon the problem is obvious. At the outset it should be agreed that the length of the working day should be reduced, and the split shift system eliminated; then by conference be tween janitors and administrative officials, the most efficient and humane schedule of hours possible should be worked out. Perhaps the plan suggested by the Emerald last Thursday will be used—more likely the labor commissioner, who for the past 15 years has been settling just such disputes, will be able to devise a better plan. The fact Lliat the corpmissioner has taken im mediate action is an auspicious omen. It is an in dication that the situation will be cleared up promptly, that every person involved will be free to express his views frankly, and that the decision, once made, will be one which will protect the in terests of the University’s plant employees for all time. DEAN MOUSE’S MESSAGE A FEW students have criticized the Emerald's editors for devoting almost the entire second and third pages of Tuesday’s issue to a verbatim report of the momentous address delivered by Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law school, before an audience of Oregon Dads at the Dad's day banquet last Saturday evening. In each case where the complaint was regis tered, the complainer was answered by a question: "Have you read the address?" It happened that none of the disgruntled ones had, but they hail missed Innocent Bystander, Reading and Writing, Mannequin and a number of other popular Emerald features. A newspaper very rarely makes such a radical alteration in its day-to-day policy as the Emerald made Tuesday, and it should be evident that such a. change would not be made without thorough con sideration. The editors took good counsel and reached a deliberate, careful decision before elect ing to devote half their news and editorial space to Dean Morse’s address. We believe that the Dad's day address was one of the most significant pronouncements on educa- ■ tional policy ever heard in this state, and our opin-j ion has been corroborated by a host of capable auditors. The dads themselves were of this opin ion, and many of them urged that the Emerald re print the speech intact, in order that they might have Dean Morse’s words in enduring form, and in order that the 1700 Oregon dads who could not be at the banquet might have the opportunity of reading them. Yesterday’s Emerald, designated as a Dad's edi tion, was sent to 2000 parents of Oregon students. It carried a message that was of highest signifi cance to them, and a message that should be read as well by every undergraduate on the Oregon cam pus. We are confident that a thoughtful reading of the address will fully answer any criticism of the Emerald’s action in sacrificing for one day a portion of the regular news, features and editorials. ALL-AMERICAN DOUOHNIT SALESGIRLS KrpHE right hand knoweth not what the left hand does.” We of the editorial page and the inside of the paper were surprised and mildly astounded yesterday to find that the campus had an All-American doughnut girl. The front page story likewise referred to her as an “All-American Sinker girl,” and in addition (if the ladies in charge of the sale are to be trusted), the doughnuts, or "sinkers” if you are member of the hoi-polloi, are guaranteed to be non-greasy, and of purest ingredi ents. W« have been vaguely perturbed for years over the mention of the Empire State building, elevated trains, television, and so forth, but now we can really sense progress. We have at last been jarred out of our old-fashioned conservatism and realize that we are getting somewhere after all. It isn't every university, college, or junior college that can boast of an All-American doughnut girl. No, not every high school, either. But you can’t say we didn’t see it coming. All Americans have been gaining ascendancy every year. We're willing to bet, however, that there are few institutions of higher learning that have beat Oregon to getting a doughnut queen. They have to get up mighty early . . . And then that bit about the “sinker” girl— there’s something vaguely sinister in all that. We feel sure it should have been “sunker,” and then that would lead quite logically to “dunker,” and who knows, that might lead almost anywhere. It’s easy enough, once you get the swing of it. We’re still a little puzzled, though, and a little taken aback. It’s all very well to have an All American girl, but that bit about the doughnuts not being greasy. We hate to admit that we’re skeptical, but doesn't that sound a bit hard to swa llow ? FATE OF THE FARM STRIKE TT' ARMERS of the Middle West have declared a *• nation-wide strike, calculated to prevent the movement of necessary foodstuffs and force an ad justment of produce prices satisfactory to them. In doing so they .have taken a leaf from the mode of procedure of the industrial brotherhoods, and have, incidentally, started out to do the very things that were most obnoxious to them a few years ago. In 1916 when a nation-wide tie-up of American railroads was threatened by the engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen in order to secure an eight-hour day for train and engine service em ployees, no one was louder in denunciation of the objects or methods of the transportation strikers than the American farmers. Gloomy pictures were painted of large cities cut off from the normal sup ply of necessary farm products; they forecast thou sands of children without milk, and huge population areas cut off from flour, butter, eggs, and meat. The transportation brotherhoods realized before their eight-hour movement had progressed very far that the element of public opinion would either make their program or break it. They came to the conclusion that public opinion would not tol erate a paralysis in the essential industries, and entered into arbitration for a peaceful settlement of the dispute. The result was the Adamson eight hour law. Subsequent legislation has practically eliminated the possibility of any future nation wide transportation tie-up. It was public opinion that demanded such pro cedure in the handling of an industry as essential as the railroads. The farmers ,if their movement assumes dangerous proportions, will soon feel the same pressure. And the nature of their work feeding the nation makes it evident that public opinion will be heard in no uncertain terms. It is quite possible, of course, that congress, in fluenced by its rural constituency, may enact new and even more revolutionary laws for farm relief at the next session. The present administration has appreciated the plight of the farmers and has set up agencies for relief. And it is quite possible that the next con gress, influenced by its rural constituency, will enact new and more drastic farm relief measures. But until that happens the farmers will probably be forced bv public opinion to wait until the slow moving Agricultural Adjustment administration has been given time to prove its worth. Farmers now enjoy the popular sympathy; a measure as coercive as a widespread farm strike might lose them this sympathy. According to the paper, the Little Theatre group will give "Seven Days." According to little Jason, they should be given 10 years. Now that the dads have gone home, students can put away their books again. Innocent Bystander I By BARNEY CLARK /AH hu, say we, sniffing battle from afar. The Chi O clan has sent us a brisk Jit He note in which they insinuate that the Kappas are a big-eyed group of female Win chills in the first place for paying attention to their den, and sec ondly, that the only reason that! the Chi O’s left their den lights; on was because the Kappas sent over a note requesting that they I do so, as their pledges were get ting eyestrain from trying to sec i in the dark, and thirdly that the : reason they don't pull the curtain in their den is because the Kappas have evil minds. So there! That's telling ’em! .. * # * Things happen fast to In nocent Bystander. Here lie lieconies engaged of a Friday evening to "Boo" I'.ton, prom ising to release ner when a better man comes along, and of a Saturday Itnthlc is wear ing a Fiji pin. Well, we never believed in long engagements, any w ay. * » * o' Already preparations are under way for the Oregon State game in Portland. Don Caswell an;l Peggy Chessman, proudly flaunt ing the white ribbon of the W. C T. U.. are planning to buy a cou ple of tire-axes after the game and revive memories of Carrie Nation by smashing the bars in the big city', aloes. acJ crusting te atoms tlie container: of their vile stock in trade. And won't they be popular! Innocent Bystander regrets to. state that the news editor of the Emerald has the vicious habit of shooting the locks off dog-pound doors. This mania is attributed to the fact that he saw "Bring 'Em Back Alive” and a Western on the same evening and tried to combine the two techniques with disastrous results. » * * KOMANt K til THE W EEK Boris (island ami Hob "Im port'’ Ferguson. The Old Mill and a declaration of indepen dence are in oil this deal. Here's looking at you, 1’i 1’liil OGUKN GNASHES "There's no one fairer Than I' McNamara!" Only God can maht a tree! By STANLEY ROBE It’s a Tough Pull EDUCATION Reading Writing PEGGY CHESSMAN, Editor NO matter what your taste in literature, there ought to be something in the ensuing list that will satisfy you. If you are an art major you will welcome “Rockwellkentiana,” a book of few words and many pic tures. It is a volume of commen tary remarks and facsimiles of drawings, woodcuts, lithographs, and paintings. (Co-op). If you are a journalist, a pros pective teacher, critic, educator, student of philosophy, literature, or of esthetic—if —you want to be taught how to enjoy books thoughtfully, be sure to read Hen ry Hazlitt's "Anatomy of Criti cism.” He develops his theme, “criticism is the one art that all humans practice,” by means of ten trialogues. (Old libe). If you are always tired, if you want to learn how you may be able to do more and enjoy life to its greatest capacity, look forward to reading “More Power to You!” by Walter B. Pitkin, author of “Life Begins at Forty.” The book is a guide to an efficient and hap py peak of perfection, based upon psychological experiments. It is a working technique for making the most of human eners-v. If you are a pacifist, you will en joy reading “No Time Like the Present,” an autobiography by Storm Jameson. Her shrewd com ments on war, her passionate sen timents regarding the outcome of battles and the effects upon na tions are written in a convincing style. If you are an admirer of War wick Deeping, if you liked “Sor rell and Son,” you will thrill to "Two Black Sheep,” the tale of two lonely, misunderstood souls who found happiness together. It is a simple, but dramatic and poig nant story of compassion, love, and sorrow. If you delight in the nonsensical poetry of Ogden Nash, you will hurry to either the Co-op or the old libe for "Happy Days,” an out rageous book of 100 new verses many of them take-offs on poems of a heavier nature. If you are a student of charac ter . and personality, "Old Fash ioned Tales,” by Zona Gale, will furnish you plenty of food for thought. The entire volume is a gallery of human portraits pre sented by delicate art at its finest Human nature is recorded here by an observing author, who sees not only the delightful shrewdness of the world, but also the irony. . ---—, Emerald Chips Pi Mu Kpsilon to Meet Pi Mu Kpsilon, national honor ary society in mathematics, will hold a social meeting at the Phi Mu house Wednesday evening at 7 :S0. A talk will be given on the! history of the mathematics society at the University of Oregon. The meeting will serve as an opportun ity for the freshmen to get ac-; quainted with other students. Stafford's Article Printed An article by Professor O. F. Stafford of the University chemis try department, is in the October issue of the Journal of the Arneri -aa Cher:teal Society Professor Stafford ha. received manv favor able comments from other schools on his article, which is entitled “Acetamide as a Solvent.” Al though acetamide has been com monly known for a long time, it had not before been thought of using it as a solvent. Late Fines Carry Penalty If library fines are not paid by the end of the term in which they are incurred, they are transferred to the administration office to be taken out of the $5 deposit. An extra penalty of 25 cents on each fine is also charged when fines must be transferred. Amphibian Pledges Three Amphibian announces the pledg ing of Maxine Goetch, Helen Payne, and Frances Kovtynovich. Roseburg Grads To Study English The entrance English examina tions of a group of 14 high school graduates in Roseburg have been received by the extension depart ment of the University. This group wishes to register in a written English course for group study. The examination was conducted by the Roseburg high school prin cipal and as soon as the results are checked a study group will be formed. The written English course will be practically the same as the English composition course on the campus. The students are nearly all students who are unable to attend college this year because of financial conditions but wish to begin their college work. Their discussion director will be one of the high school teachers. t'lHIIIHIIIIMIIIIIHIIIIMIIIHIIIIIKIIIIMimUIIIBIIIIiaill'IMIII. ... Mannequin By'PATSY LEE TS there anything lovelier than * perfume ? It is a luxury, but what a necessary luxury. Women have become so much more per- j fume-conscious in the last few years. In grandmother’s day, one could sprinkle a little eau de co logne about and be perfectly mus ter in the best of circles. Today we have perfume for every occa sion—every personality. All these thoughts brought me to a perfume counter the other af ternoon, where I sniffed and sniffed for hours. Although I left j the myriad of beautiful bottles somewhat confused and muddled, allow me to tell you about the very latest in “parfum.” You have undoubtedly heard of Bourjois’ sequence to last season’s j charming “Evening in Paris.” It is “Springtime in Paris” — all dressed up in lovely bottles, and i what an intriguing odor. Clean and sweet—that’s it. And speaking of clean, lovely smells—just sniff at Yardley’s new “Fragrance.” Oh me—oh my! It reminds Mannequin of woods— cool and green—with a lovely girl of eighteen dressed in an organdy gown or something. To be the true sophisticate— please acquire Guerlain's new per fume extraordinaire “Vol de Nuit.” It is truly a scent moderne, and in case you aren’t up on your French, it all means “Night Flight.” You can just feel the swift cool air flashing by your ears when you in hale a little of this perfume. ' And now for your formal, form £ a ^aseM^i^-^cisJiyjsja.'sraieijoaasiaaraiaaiaiaisiaiai^raar'; jMiiiBiHBianiBiiiiaiiaiitiiKi’iBiiin^ianiiKiaiiiHHViiai^aii'n^iawiniiiiHiniiin Rengo Pharmacy HOME OF Wee Maid Ice Cream Fountain Service Sandwiches Drugs CORN lilt 13TI1 \ ALDER PHONE 1180 Wednesday and Thursday , Complete Showing of Cantilever Shoes From the Portland Store At The McDONALD THEATRE BLDG-1032 Willamette 5Sd^.tSfei£EieidSIcMtMcMSI£fEEJ3SIS(£i'S12JaEIEMSf2®SlSIEISISEieJSMaEiaMiIc3 al occasions. Try daubing a little Chanel's "Gardenia” behind your ears for that very heavy effect of complete formality. Guerlain's “Liu” is the true es sence of chicness for less formal occasions—informal dinners, danc es, and the more formal afternoon affairs. Lentheric’s “Miracle” and Quand’s “Cordray” may be placed in the same category. They are among the very latest and the most interesting of modern odors. If you would be very up and coming with your cosmetology— scrub your face very clean—leave the powder at home, and wear your brightest lip-stick. And now for the finger-nail question. Some like ’em bright—some don’t, but here’s the latest Peggy Sage's shades (what a tongue twister): Diane Red, a swreet, naive color; Pink Coral, which needs no explan ation; Fire Engine Red, especially hotcha; Tomato, a brilliant lovely hue; Blush Rose, an innocent shade; Ex Pale, which wanes; me dium, a lovely conservative color, and of course, the natural. To go a little more Peggy Sage >—be sure to see the lovely new cigarette cases which contain ev ery manicure essential, and which may be used to an advantage for keeping one’s cheroots encased. They come in red and white.
