LEGISLATORS AND HIGHER EDUCATION cpHE governor has acted wisely in requesting that the state legislature confine its delibera tions to emergency legislation specifically, to the problems of state liquor control, unemployment re lief, public school finances, revision of tax laws and consideration of the truck and bus law. Sighs of relief rose simultaneously from every higher educational campus and from every friend of higher education when the governor’s recom mendation was made known, and when the house of representatives appointed a steering committee to keep the legislators adhering closely to the busi ness immediately at hand. For rumors have been seeping to Eugene, Cor vallis, LaGranue, Monmouth and Ashland that a dozen bills were ready to be tossed into the hopper, sanguinary bills calculated to finish the job of butchering higher education that the last regular session started. There were rumors of proposals to close all higher educational institutions for a period of two years, proposals to consolidate schools, plans to carve budgets that were already too lean, proposals to shut down two of the normal schools. Apparently the governor and the leaders of the house and senate are convinced of the course that the legislation should follow. They are refusing to be tempted by any savings that might be made by denying to the youth of the state the right to the best higher educational facilities possible. Apparently the only opportunity for higher edu cational affairs to come before the legislature will be in the senate’s ratification of the appointment of a new member to the board of higher education to replace Roscoe C. Nelson, if the governor makes such a recommendation before the legislature ad journs. It is to be hoped that the house and senate will confine their activities to the field covered in the governor’s recommendation. If they solve the six problems offered by the governor, they will have accomplished more in the 20 allotted days than many past legislatures have achieved in full regular sessions. The educational tangle now seems to be near its unraveling without legislative intervention, and efforts to curtail the higher educational pro gram would only result in heated resistance by the many friends of higher learning' within the legis lature, and would impede the deliberations on the present emergency problems that are crying for solution. THIS MORNING'S SPEAKER Dudley crafts watson-, who win address an assembly this morning at 10 o'clock in Gerlinger hall on "The Development of American Taste,” will be a speaker well worth hearing, for he combines, we are told, a remarkably able grasp of his subject with a pleasing platform presence and a contagious sense of humor, So well liked was Mr. Watson when he appeared in a recent convocation at Oregon State college that he has been asked to return and give another lecture there this evening. Students at Oregon have this term been un usually fortunate in the selection of speakers to grace the Gerlinger stage. Today's program, we prophesy, will be no exception; we are confident that it will be one of the most entertaining and instructive of the year. THE 1*E1* I’AIROL QOUND the trumpets, dip the colors! The senior ” Pep Patrol is marching out to do battle for the health of Oregon’s womanhood. This is W. A. A. Health week, we are. informed, and it will be the duty of the swaggei'TPep Patrol, nattily uniformed in Order of the O sweaters and P. E. P. badges, to increase campus interest in keeping out of the in firmary. The idea is a good one, and we particularly like this stunt of dropping in on the women’s houses unannounced at meal times, to see if the cook is putting out the same kind of menus that the sororities turned in to Health week officials in the health menu prize contest. In the present deflated condition of our finances, a job as model menu taster would be the solution to a lot of worries. One part of the program has us baffled, how ever. That's the part of the program, as announced in yesterday's Emerald, to "label the trees on the campus as to posture.” That strikes us as a step too far. Some of the trees have been standing un offensively cn this campus for years, and for some one, even the Health week Pep Patrol, to go around making invidious comparisons is distinctly odious. A DISSENTING OPINION WITH all due credit to the evident sincerity behind Dr. Kaju Nakamura’s defense of Jap anese imperialism it should be apparent to every one that the theme n lis address is decidedly threadbare. We heard Yosuke Matsuuka and Dr Nitobe stress these same points, namely, that Japan is not aggressive and that the coolness between the United States and Japan is due to "misunder standing and misinterpretation.” It is true that Orientals find western customs outlandish, while occidentals believe oriental cus toms are quaint to the point of queerness. Never theless, this did not prevent cordial relations be tween the United Stages and Japan three decades ago. Today Americans understand the Japanese much better than they did in 1904, and therein lies the reason for the present “misunderstanding and misinterpretation." Japan, like England, is blessed with a "silver strip of sea” that separates the islands from the mainland. The English channel saved England from the continental strife of the fourteenth, fif teenth, and sixteenth centuries. The Japan sea saved Japan from Mongol suzerainty. The English realized long ago that possession of continental territory was disastrous. The weary Hundred Years War with France completely disillusioned England's territorial ambitions on the continent. Hence we find (he Hanoveiian kings of England disposing of their possessions in Germany because they real ized that Hanover was the weak link»in England's armor. In 1904 Japan had no weak links in her armor. In 1905 she gained a foothold on the continent. In 1910 Korea was annexed. In 1932 the "fissiparous” creation, Manchukuo, blossomed under Japanese tutelage. As Dr. Nakamura emphasizes, Japan is on the defensive. But why is Japan on the defen sive? If Japan had not entertained continental territorial ambitions there would have been no necessity for defensive action on the mainland. Where will Japan’s next defensive step lead her? Manchukuo’s existence is threatened by both China and Rtlssia. Japan may soon wage a defensive war with both of these foes to insure Manchukuoan independence. Since Japan has not profited from England's experience, it is probable that only a crushing defeat in foreign war will convince the island kingdom that continental territorial ambi tion is to be shunned. I Any criticism that might be due the Japanese empire should not be directed at Dr. Nakamura, who is to be commended for his patriotism and for his efforts to restore the amicable relations that formerly existed between the United States and Japan. Our vote for the truth-in-adverlising sweep stakes goes to the Oregon Journal classified sec tion, in which this appeared: “1928 Ford coupe, $135. Good condition throughout. This car won’t last long.” And for playing safe in the headlines, we quote the Register-Guard on the landing of Settle and Fordney in the stratosphere balloon: “Spend Night Sleeping.” The Southern California game might hinder Mike Mikulak’s chaqces for All-American, but there’s still Margaret DeYoung. Bitter disillusionment department: Mae West is reported to be padded. On Other Campuses •V Personal Responsibility 'T'HEl repeal of lhe eighteenth amendment can be either a release or a challenge to American youth. Many have seen in t lie return of legal liquor an end to hypocrisy and disrespect for law. Others consider the removal of restraint another type of moral danger as well as a decided physical hazard. Certainly laws against drunkenness and against drunken driving in particular, must be much more carefully enforced than before. Arrests for dis orderly conduct may prove i more efficient means of protection than technical arrests for “possession” or "transportation" of liquor. But liquor presents to the university student and to university authorities a different problem. In addition to his personal responsibility as a citi zen, each student must see that his conduct does credit not only to his institution, but to education throughout the country. It is a recognized fact that, most people today still consider higher educa tion an experiment whose value has not yet been proved. Liquor has never been a stranger to college stu dents, and more than a few humor magazines have exaggerated this fact uutil th? public is more will ing to believe unfavorable reports than favorable ones. University authorities have a problem of their own in this respect. They have the choice of ignor ing the liquor question or of imposing unpopular restrictions. The first alternative would place the responsi | bility entirely upon the students themselves. The second would show less faith in the good judgment of students, and would arouse a certain amount of resentment; nevertheless, it might be an effective blow for the cause of education throughout the country. A California statute prohibits the sale of liquor within one mile of a state university campus. Sini j ilar restrictions on the part ol' the administration would have no effect on the student except when he is actually on the campus. Thus it appears that no matter what action if taken, the ultimate choice rests with the student himself. Whether the University's reputation gains or suffers is the personal responsibility of every out of ita representative: —California Daily Bruin The Face on the Barroom Floor By STANLEY ROBE C OME TO C145S WITH ME HOWy Coach Phelan on Proselyting From the University of Washington Daily. | ACK of “common sense” prose *-J lyting rules in the Pacific Coast football conference, was de cried yesterday by “Jimmy” Phe lan, Washington football coach, who declared the financial pres sure of big business athletics has forced-the universities into a new scheme of “big time” athletics. In branding the conference rules against proselyting as “foolish” and “hypocritical" and expressing a strong need for some revision of the ruling, Coach Phelan joined The Daily and Carl Kilgore, A. S. U. W. manager in charge of ath letics, in a denunciation of the present conference proselyting code which bans the contacting in any way of high school athletes. * * * “Universities all over Ihe coun try have undertaken such costly athletic building and activity pro grams that they have been forced into ‘big time' athletics,” Phelan said. The conference ruling makes it illegal for any member of an ath letic organization, alumnus or “friend” of the school to contact any high school athlete for the purpose of inducing him to attend a certain college. “It is impossible to keep alumni and interested persons from mak ing contacts with high school men," Phelan said. “Such a ruling is impossible to carry out. At present in the very face of the rul ing it is being done. The contact ing of high school graduates is a natural outgrowth of the athletic scheme today." The institutions over the entire country which have erected huge stadiums and athletic buildings must meet their financial obliga tions, and do so largely through football revenues. "The college has been forced to make football a heavy revenue gainer and they must have good teams if they are to get by,” Phelan said. Phelan cited the conference rul ing prohibiting athletic coaches from speaking before assemblies throughout the state as another example of the laughable rules in the code. “I have spoken before many high school meetings before the rule was passed,” Phelan said. "And I have never attempted to persuade anyone to come to Washington merely for athletics. There are ! other things in a university be sides athletics. A student's ath letic career is ended after four years, but his education goes on with him for the rest of his life.” The state should aid the univer sities in their promotion of an athletic program, Phelan said. He ! considered it deplorable that an institution the size of Washington should not have a men’s swimming pool. He declared that he believed a good football team with sufficient reserves could pay off the entire A. S. U. W. debt ($600,000) in a comparatively short time. "I think money invested in football l is good business.” Until recently a lack of coop 1 eration by the University admin istration has retarded ' the A. S. U. W. athletic program, but the situation has been remedied and the outlook is promising, Phelan said. From the $85,000 football is ex pected to bring into the A. S. U. W. coffers this year, University sports hope to receive a large share. Baseball, crew, track, box ing, golf, tennis, archery and a score of other intramural activi ties will profit. * * * At the University of California in Berkeley a huge athletic struc ture was erected and must be paid for largely with the football re ceipts. A two-block tract which includes three football practice fields, a baseball diamond, and a track stadium is included. The University of California As • j sociated Students have an indebt- j edness somewhere near the figure , of one and a half million dollars j which they expect to pay off largely from football receipts. “They realize,” Coach Phelan said, “that a good football team is a financial asset.” The uncertainty which has sur rounded the financing of the A. S. U. W. athletic program during the past few years, was given by Phe lan as the reason for the depar ture of Burl Bufkin, sensational halfback, for another school re cently. "I did not feel last year that I wanted to take the responsibility of bringing men to school here,” Phelan said in reviewing the situ ation last season. Faculty athletic representatives are changed too often for the good ! of the institution, Phelan believes. “A man is no sooner acquainted with the rules and workings of the conference than a new one is ap pointed.” Reading -and Writing PEGGY CHESSMAN, Editor 'T'HE unusual amount of news ■ arising from the activity of the present administration has l furnished unlimited amount of ma ; terial for current literature, and j so we have two new books to rec ommend, candid studies of the ; Roosevelt era. “The American Way" by Earle Looker is an in ; sight into the life of the presi dent, and "The Roosevelt Revolu tion First Phase" by Ernest K. Lindley is i complete description of the program of the leader and his cabinet to date. 1 Connecting closely with this general iheme is a new book by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, "It's ' Up to the Women." Throughout her material, she suggests various ' methods whereby the women of America can aid the government m restoring good times. Just to show the versatility of his talent, Eugene O'Neill comes through wiih a book so different ; from ais others that the reader would doubt that O’Neill had writ ten it were there not certain char acteristic phrases. This much discussed book is entitled "Ah. Wilderness," and is an American folk play, a comedy which is i leluxation from the author s usual tragic limpd. "No Nice Girl Sweats by Alice j L.om Moat - is a nee. bool, on etiquette that has the endorsement of Edna Woolman Chase, editor in-chief of Vogue. The author has an unusual style in which she pre sents the material, for she lacks the customary didactic note that most of our authors of etiquette employ. Her chapters deal with all sorts of situations that might arouse some questions, and with each one she presents amusing and instructive examples that teach you what to do and what not to do without your knowing that you are being taught. "All Men Are Brothers," a Chi nese tale interpreted by Pearl S. Buck, that incomparable writer of oriental life, presents what Mrs. Buck calls a picture of the only real China. Those of you who admire George Bernard Shaw will be pleased to know that he will soon release a new book of three poems, the names of which are “Too True to Be Good," "The Village Wooing,” and "On ihc Rocks." And by the, way, Mr. Shaw has just asked hi. American publishers, Dodd, Mead, Co., to print his name as Bernard Shaw, and nothing else, hereafter.
