NUMBER 23
Student Body
Election Dates
Shift Proposed
Class, Student Elections
To Be Same Day
VOTERS’ STATUS UP
Committee Proposes Decision Be
Left to Student, or Class
Identification Board
Decision to propose a constitu
tional amendment providing for
class and student body elections to
be held on the same day was made
at the meeting of the constitu
tional committee in Johnson hail
yesterday. It is also planned to
have nominations one week pre
vious to the elections.
Eecause of confusion in classify
ing third year students without
junior certificates as to classes for
purposes of voting and other stu
dent activities, two possible meth
ods of classification were discussed
by the committee.
Disregarding junior certificate
and hour requirements in classify
ing students and permitting the
individual student to decide for
himself which class he would af
filiate himself with under certain
limitations was the basis of one
plan considered.
The other plan provides for a
class identification board which
would decide doubtful cases and
publish a list a reasonable time
before the election. This would
allow an appeal by the student if
he felt that he were improperly
classified.
The constitutional committee, ap
pointed recently by Tom Tongue,
president of the Associated Stu
dents, to supervise revision of the
student body constitution is: Glen
riieber, chairman, Corwin Cala
van, Walter Gray, George Birnie,
Bill C. Davis, Malcolm Bauer,
Geraldine Hickson, Helen Binford,
Virginia Hartje, George Bennett,
John Kendall, and Charles Ken
nedy.
Anyone with any comment or
criticism of either of these plans
or who has anything else to sug
gest is urged to get in touch with
the committee immediately, ac
cording to Hieber.

Smith to Discuss
Philippine Trade
Dr. Warren D. Smith of the geol
ogy department will talk to Pan
Xenia, foreign trade honorary, to-r
night on the possibilities of the
Philippines in foreign trade. The
discussion will be purely economic,
j Dr. Smith will present his views
on the subject, explaining that we
are doing more for the Philippines
than they are doing for us, that we
are not exploiting them as other
nations have their possessions. He
will name some obstacles to our
foreign trade in that part of the
world, mainly in the Philippines.
The meeting, which will be fol
lowed by an informal discussion,
will be held at 7:30 in the men’s

American College Declared
Equal to English Prep School
The universities of the United
States are on a par with the Eng
lish preparatory schools. That is
what Guy Wernham, junior in hu
manities here and formerly of
Paris and London, says.
“The student who reaches the
higher realms of education in
England is chosen very carefully
so that an unusually high stand
ard may be maintained. There is
really no democracy in this sys
tem, and there is no provision for
the below-average man. In this
country anyone may go to school;
in fact, he is compelled to do so.
Whether or not he is fit for the
academic life seems to make no
difference to the authorities,”
Wernham continued.
He declared that an educational
system can be a success only when
standards are sufficiently high to i
insure those receiving degrees
some sense of accomplishment.
“Students in an English school
are treated like adults and are not
coddled like children. A student
is a man and is treated as an in
dividual and not as one sheep
among many. In this respect he
enrolls in whgt subject he cares
for.
“As regards the grading sys
tem, little time is taken up with
the thought of A, B, and C. The
student takes one exam at Hie
! completion of his college work.”
Wernham emphasized the idea
that the English educational sys
tem is successful by pointing out
that the mainstays of the English
government are university gradu
ates.

Noted Lecturer Addresses Assembly:
Kerr Makes Scholastic Awards to
Sigma Pi Tau, Sigma Kappa
“Young people should examine into the fundamental bases of
American civilization as it exists today,” Syud Hossain, Mohammedan
journalist and lecturer, declared in an assembly address in Gerlinger
hall yesterday.
"I can understand the economic depression in Europe, the unem
ployment in Germany and England, the abnormal conditions in Russia,
and the travail of Asiatic countries like China,” he said, “but it is an
incredible situation that the United States of America should have
reached a point where fifteen million people exist on the ‘bread line’.”
New York he characterized as “the city of billionaires—and bread
lines.” Hossain attributed to spiritual rather than economic and social
reasons our failure to uphold the standards which made fhe rest of

tion of the plans for the new li

Freshmen Work
On Big Flaming O
On the night of November 4, a
brilliantly colored flaming O will
light up the sky from Skinner’s
butte as a spectacle for Oregon
Homecoming throngs.
Present plans are to display the
school colors in flaming letters,
U. of O. This will be achieved
by colored flares, arranged to
form letters 50 or 60 feet high.
The laying out of the design,
which requires mathematical pre
cision, will be done some time this
week.
The lighting of the flaming O
will follow the termination of the
parade at the north end of Wil
lamette street and will begin the
Homecoming rally. The freshman
class is starting work now on this
project.
Tyson Recovers From Flu
Allen Tyson, University post
master, is back at his window
again after a ten-day siege of in
fluenza.
l,.ne worm look upon American
civilization as the high - water
mark of material and scientific
achievement.
Within the last three years, Hos
sain said, the idea of American
superiority has had a tremendous
shock. “Never has there been a
greater sense of impalpable inse
curity. Certitude and assurance
have met with serious psychologi
cal set-backs. The whole of the
world,, East and West alike, is in
unprecedented ferment.”
Attitude Compared
The speaker compared the atti
tude of Gandhi with that of the
West (Europe and America) and
of Russia. He showed how the
experiment in Russia makes the
state supreme, and that even in
America the state’s rights are
above individual rights. Both types
of government believe in mass
production and the necessity of
armaments. Gandhi, however, be
lieves in the integrity of the indi
vidual.
“He wants to deal with the soul
of the individual rather than the
body,” Hossain explained. “You
can't coerce human being3. You
must draw out what is noble in
them, so that the social structure
will evolve from them.”
Morgan Scored
Hossain made a scathing indict
ment of the social morality of such
men as Morgan, who avoid pay
ment of taxes and who spend mil
lions of dollars on luxuries while
other men starve. He concluded
his address with a plea for clear
thinking and fearless facing of
facts.
Chancellor W. J. Kerr intro
duced Hossain at the assembly,
Preceding the address, scholarship
awards for the last school year
were made to Sigma Kappa, as
the highest ranking women’s
house, and to Sigma Pi Tau, which
ranked highest of the men’s houses
for the second consecutive year.

Detective Stories by Doyle
Favorites of Syud Hossain
By ELINOR HENRY
As a small boy, Syud Hossain,
alert Indian journalist who spoke
here yesterday, had an ambition
he was never able to realibze.
Some day, he planned, he would
go to London and visit Sherlock
Holmes0 on Bdker street. Much
later he did visit Conan Doyle, the
immortal detective’s creator, but'
the plump Englishman hardly lived"
up to his picture of the lank Sher
lock.
“What I don't know about detec
tive stories isn’t worth knowing,”
remarked Hossain, smiling. “The
test of an author is this—whether
or ngt he creates a character who
becomes a type. Sherlock Holmes
is the undoubted classic, of course.
No modern author approaches
j Doyle’s effective workmanship.”
Hossain’s ideal hobby, he said,
would be horseback riding, if he
were a "plutocrat'’ and0 could af
ford it. . "
•, The speaker showed an easy fa
miliarity with the English classics,
i He regards the English language
as the material with which he must
| work, and he gave this as his rea
son for his evident mastery of it.
If he thinks of concepts fundamen
tally European, he said, his
thoughts are in English, but his
thoughts of India are in his native
tong Lie.
His name is difficult for an
American to pronounce. Say-ud
Ho-say-in, though a trifle far
fetched, is about as near as it can
be represented in spelling familiar
