FROM PUOWHORSE TO PEGASUS ^vREGON, the undisputed cellar champion of the Northwest in basketball last year, came out of the basement Saturday night and knocked over the Pacific Coast conference champion Beavers 30 to 26. Not only did they get the jump on the Oregon State series, and lay the foundations of a good season, but they made sure that no reptition of last year’s debacle will come this year. Thirteen games remain on the schedule. In those, Oregon can take any position on the ladder that the morale of the team, and the spirit on the campus will allow it. That we have a good team was shown Saturday night. That we have a good coach was also shown when a carefully planned passing attack completely routed the longtime air tight zone defense .of Slats Gill. That game was a spark. It may grow into a flaming spirit that will carry the team to a great season. It glowed brightly all over the campus after the gun sounded that gave Oregon victory. More than the rooting sections, and the yell leaders, and the pep rallies, is the attitude of the University at other times than game nights. NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT IFE was too easy for Viola Sayles, above, pretty 19-year-old Carnegie Tech drama student, daughter of wealthy Pittsburgh parents, and she slipped away to Cleveland and found a job, so she could pay for her own education.” So runs a cut description under a picture re cently released by NEA (Newspaper Enterprise Association). Next to the Horatio Alger boy who wins his way to the top through pluck and daring, America loves to romance over the child of wealth who, tired of the stupid round, strikes out for himself and finds true happiness in hard work and the simple life. It is an outworn institution of the halcyon days of the twenties when the worker did the employer a favor to work for him, when production was everything. Today it is nothing more than an example of vain and insidious grandstanding. Grandstanding not only to the rest of the world but to the smug little ego of the self. It is as detrimental its it is hollow, when one who lias plenty takes the job of one who has not, robbing that person of an income in order to satisfy a selfish whim. Of course one such ease will not contribute ma terially to unemployment. But then, one murder does not deplete the human race, either. Ml l i.I K ami nir. niMiui !' HANCELLOH HITLER'S recent tangle with the churches in Germany, fallowing as it does the heavily manipulated election in November, has left some doubt as to the strength of the German dictator's position. Concessions the Nazi govern ment has made with respect to church practices where they have come in conflict with state poli cies have been interpreted as a sign of compromise, With prospects of further giving way. His denouncement of the terms of the Versailles treaty and his military-minded political organiza tion have given the rest of the world the fervent hope of a breakdown in Hitler's political machinery. Besides the present church controversy, another affair pounced upon as one of those much looked for signs is the apparent growing friction between Hitler and his bull-necked confrere, Premier (Goering of Prussia. Protestant bishops met at Halle to organize their protest against religions nationalization, and were not molested. The Catholic archbishop of Munich voiced disapproval of ins church, and no “storm troopers” appeared, though previously they have interfered with and arrested a number of priests. The religious controversy holds little serious threat for Nazi control in Germany, though a few more errors in diplomatic judgment on the par} of Hitler himself may alter his position in the or gauuiation. Hitler and Nazism are by no means jsynouyivou.. though a tremendous v ave of peisoual popularity and emotionalism, pent up through lung years of humiliation at the hands of the Versailles signatories, swept into office the eloquent adven ture-spirit, Hitler. This latest of dictators to rise on the European horizon thus far has a strong grip on his position, thanks to his national popularity and thanks to Paul-Joseph Goebbels, his masterly minister of propaganda. The National Socialists have wandered far from their traditional liberal policies, and have embraced the interests of industrialists and financiers. A. Nazi spokesman recently declared there shall be no further government ownership of the means of | production. Under Nazi tutelage four steel trusts have become one, consolidation has heightened the pyramids of industrial and banking organization. Increased centralization of German economic life is being carried out under Nazi sanction and de cree. The Nazi government has much more than pop ular enthusiasm as a be ;is; it has the backing of Germany’s most powerf 1 interests, and will have as long as it furthers their cause. Public enthu siasm in Germany will not suddenly die out, and even though it should the Nazis fortified their posi tion by allying themselves with what are still the most strongly organized economic forces in Ger many. Controversy with the church failed to weaken Mussolini’s position in Italy, and there is no more hope of its doing so in Nazist Germany. OVERFLOW rvUR efficient society editor came to us yes terday in high rage and asked us to go to bat on this: It seems that the City of Eugene very knavishly constructed its parking laws on alley iike Alder street so that cars could stop only on one side. It also happens that this is the side away from Sorority Row, and that side is, for several blocks, a vast, unspoiled stretch of badlands, untainted by the hand of occupation. What burns the sisters up is the fact that (a) in alighting from vehicles after the correct manner prescribed by law, they are forced to step into an oozy quagmire, and that (b) it is worth a body’s life to have to cross the street to reach the houses when the boys are whooping it up and down that street, and that (cl the number of reverse turns necessitated by The Law make it pretty much of a mess all the way 'round. Any sorority wishing to sever diplomatic relations with the common council of the City of Eugene, county Lane, has our heartfelt sympathy. ■ * * * A new high in apple polishing was struck the other day when a resident of a southern chain-gang had ten years knocked off his sen tence for writing the state prison board a nice letter in praise of the chain-gang system. We never can tell when we ll need the train ing we’re getting here at college, can we ? * * * Useless information: the five-cent slot ma ' chine that has stormed its way from a crude, gaudy little thing to a’ stately fixture requiring a new wing for its housing, pays off on a 60-4.0 basis. The company that owns them gets 40 per cent of the take, while the house gets the 60 per cent and makes all the pays. The house, we understand, pays off some thing like 30 per cent of the loot in prizes. Bear that in mind, young men and women of America, when you next hear the devil’s promptings. We have every right to expect, before long, the ultimate in the way of nickel-eaters: a board 90 feet long, shooting basketballs, with a small grandstand for kibitzers attached. On Other Campuses Library Dating CEVERAL weeks ago, 3,000 delegates of the ^ American Library Association and the Inter national Federation of Library Associations met in Chicago for the discussion of problems concerning the operation of libraries. Present at this conven tion was Hervey Allen, author of "Anthony Ad verse." In a speech before the entire group, Mr. Allen spoke of the solitude and quiet becoming a library. H. M. Jones, professor of English at the University of Michigan, urged that rooms be pro vided where readers might burst into “loud guf faws" rather than having all rooms suggestive of a funeral establishment. Such arguments seem entirely plausible. To those individuals who are desirous of studying in our own library, the popular habit of “library dat ing" is quite annoying. No doubt, financial strains of the past few years have necessitated more eco nomical ways of spending evenings with a date, or perhaps house rules do not permit any other type of home date but that does not give license to the j frivolous couple enjoying a "library date" to sit .across the table from some student conscientiously j trying to study, and to distract his attention with : their uncanny “cooings." That many students are without adequate fa cilities for- proper study can not be denied. Ref erence material is often needed; the rooming house or fraternity, more times than one, lacks the quiet that should be found at the library. Instead of turning his steps toward the library as an aid to studies and a haven from distracting noises, we continually find the student intentionally avoiding j this institution. He barricades himself in his room I amid noises and eonfuson rather than attempt the utilization of privileges that are his. Surely, he who uses the library for dating does j not go there with the intention of acquiring the J maximum benefits from an evening's study. There is no doubt that the mental efficiency of such a i student is greatly reduced by the surrounding en vironment. He can not carry on a jovial conver sation with a lady friend and yet concentrate on some scholarly pursuit. Until the time when he who now abuses the privileges of flic library realizes the true value of such an institution and uses it as was originally intended, the student will be failing in the recog nition of rights due others -others who would use the library ar an aid in obtaining an education — Purdue L.xpouent. Uncorked By STANLEY ROBE Beer Situation Remains Dormant By DOUG POLIVKA rpHE campus beer situation, with reference'fo'the present zone, remained at a standstill over the weekend and yesterday. Proprie tors of campus eat shops were pre paring- to act, while University of ficials remained silent. The section of the Knox state liquor law, under the heading of “Minor’s Age Limit” was shown to campus food shop proprietors yesterday. The section reads: “No person, under the age of 21 years, may obtain a purchaser’s permit. It is further provided that it is unlawful to sell alcoholic liq uor, which means any alcoholic liquor containing over one-half of one per cent of alcohol by volume, to any person under the age of 21 years, and it is also made unlaw ful to give any alcoholic liquor to any person under the age of 21 years unless same be given by the parent, guardian, or other respon sible relatives.” It is interesting to note that more than one-half of the campus is composed of students under the age of 21 years, also that beer is being sold at present off the cam pus to persons under age of 21 years. In commenting upon the fore going section of the Knox state liquor law, campus eating place proprietors remarked that no ac tion has been taken on establish ments now disobeying this section of the law. It was also pointed out that there is similar state law per taining to1 the sale of tobacco. At one campus eating house vis ited yesterday where the place of business is licensed to sell bottled beer, near the campus, the owner spoke of the disgrace of having students buy bottled beer and open it in the street, within the beer zone of the University. The owner said he would be one of the first to install beer on his premises should the University officials sanction its sale. Pertaining to the sale of bottled beer, one such licensed place of business near the campus last year was forced to discontinue such practice this year because no one bought the beverage in bottled form, since beer was sold on draught only two blocks away. The owner of this same establishment maintained that with the money from the sales lost in food since the sale of beer off the campus, he could have easily purchased a license to sell beer as it now is being done outside the University beer zone. Proprietors of campus eating es tablishments yesterday were pre paring to take up the matter of the present beer zone around the University with University offi cials. No University official could be contacted yesterday to speak for the administration. With the only recent develop ment in the situation being the ad vocation of beer near the campus oy Tom Tongue, student body pres ident, the question remains the same: campus eating place proprie tors maintain that it is apparent that one of two things will soon take place. University heads will soon sanction the sale of beer with in the old beer zone, or the campus shops will be forced by financial pressure to sell beer in opposition to the University administration. Innocent Bystander By BARNEY CLARK Everytime Innocent Bystander gets to thinking of professors and slogans at the same time it pro duces the following startling re sults : “The Lesch said, the better!” "Life is real, life is Ernst!” “Here's Howe!” "If I had the wings of an An gell!" (We got to whistling on this one.) "Ganoe thyself!” "Have a Hart!” "This Hoyts me more than it does you!” (Accent fresh from Noo Yawk.) “What's Dunn is Dunn!” "The Morse code!” “A horse of a different Collier!" "Standard Earl!" (Accent also fresh from Noo Yawk.) “The holy Bonds of matri mony!” "Back to Nature!” "Allah’s Holaday!” (It's your turn to whistle.) “Hollis lost!” (Ow!) “The Powers that be!” “A Rae of hope!” “Twinkle, twinkle, little Starr!” “She sells seashells by the Sea shore!” * * * Just to show that we’re mod est or something, we will step aside and NOT write an “Ogden Gnash” this issue. Instead, we will let Georgie “Tusko” Ben nett contribute one of his gems. Take it away, George! The Campus lntelligensia “We love depth and erudition, Scholarship, learning, and tradi tion; Quiet study, breadth of view, True wisdom; yes we do— Just as it doesn’t interfere With our drinking yeasty beer!” * * * Drop that gun; I’ve got you covered! AMERICAN MAN OF BUSINESS ‘RACKETEER’ (Continued from One) Greeks who followed, was not economy-minded, although his ad justment was adequate for the problems besettting him. “Man realized early that he could conquer nature only by na ture herself.” said the speaker. "The Greeks found it easier for their spirits to soar without the weight of economic problems, so they divided the people into think ers and workers. "Even as late as the sixteenth century, man was not economy minded, although the discovery of the new world, and the corre sponding increase in wealth of Europe made people sit up and take notice. "It was not until the machine began to assume ascendancy over the machine-maker that men arose whose vision was to raise them selves into positions of power by means of tools. "There followed the develop ment of the factory, when men had to ad;ust them. else. to machme.', and a new phase m the history of the human face began. A mad scramble for world markets be gan, with cut-throat competition between nations as well as corpor ations, leading to a spirit of con quest and war.” Goldenweiser described the great cataclysm of the World war, the subsequent boom, and finally the crash of '29. “all an economic chain of events.” He discussed in detail the present reconstruction of human society. Stalin. Mussolini, Hitler and Roosevelt were inspected, together with the policies they stand for. by the professor. "In soviet society the roots of capitalism have been undermined." he said. “Mussolini has attempted to limit the frivolity of capitalists, as has Hitler. The United States alone is accomplishing something seldom tried before in history, in that she is pulling herself out of the depression with the same out lines of social structure remaining, using measures intended to tide over rather than revolutionize. Roosevelt's achievements ra n k with those of soviet Russia. In summing up hi. pecch. Gel cieuweiaer explained that “the world is sick with economics. It is as if nature, tired of being whipped by man, has turned the tool against the tool-maker. The trouble is not to be found in eco nomic over production but is the result of the utilization of technol ogy for selfish purposes.” After the lecture, Dr. Golden weiser conducted a public forum. Dr. George Rebec, head of the philosophy department and dean of the graduate division, presided at the meeting, which was the sec ond of the lecture series sponsored annually by the Committee on Free Intellectual Activities. Roger Williams of Oregon State college will be the third speaker of the series, lecturing on ‘‘Chem ical Secrets of Living Matter” Wednesday, January 24. GOOD WORK IN STRING GROUPS NOTED SUNDAY (Continued from rage One) Favorable comments come first.

This group produced excellent harmonies dur ing the cello section solo which opens the 1812 Overture. Director Rex Underwood did not establish as rapid a tempo as might have been possible with a professional group of musicians. Professional orchestras have used these numbers over and over again, and their pace has consist ently been faster than that used by Underwood yesterday. This, we presume, was due to his estimate of the players’ collective technical ability. The climaxes, which are very in tense, or at least can be, in the Meistersinger overture and the 1812 Overture, were more effect ive than we had anticipated. The great weakness of the or chestra is quite obvious. It is the brass section. As noted, they missed their cue entirely one time. At others they seemed uncertain of their entrance and, consequent ly, were weak and straggly. A couple of the wind instru ments were a bit off key. More definitely, a clarinet, noted during the Borodin dances, and the big bass horn which was a bit flat in its solo passages of the Tschai kowsky. The Beethoven was rather nicely done, since the bulk of the score was for the string sections. The Borodin was done with con siderable vigor as it should have been done; a tribute, we feel, to the interpretation of Director Rex Underwood.

In what has been called “the most superb single volume in English on the renaissance,” the author describes these four “lawgivers”— Savanarola, Machiavelli, Castigli one, and Aretino—and the era in which they lived—1494 to 1530 in a style both complete and im pressive. “The four figures illustrate four phases of moral life of their age, and taken together they compose the man of the renaissance,” he writes. And in all the 530 pages of his book he devotes his words to a careful analysis of each of the men, never rambling, never di gressing unduly, but taking his pace slowly so that the result may be convincing. He has shown the weaknesses and faults, the strengths and perfections of each, and what is more, has amassed his material so that there is an inter pretation of their lives and writ ings. Shattering the modern concep tions that the renaissance was a period only of great achievement and success, an era of exuberance, Roeder shows ' with authenticity that the time was also one of suf fering and of misery, and that “it was no coincidence perhaps that the artistic glories and moral mis eries of the age came to climax to gether.” “The ascetic virtues of Savona rola, the expedient virtue of Mach iavelli, the convivial virtue of Cas tiglione, the animal virtue of Aretino,” he writes, “what are these but the final solutions of those who fear life, those who ac cept it, those who compromise with it, and those who succumb to it?” Delta Zeta .1.1164 Kappa Sigma .1.1.1018 ALL FRATERNITY .1.0883 Phi Delta Theta .1.0676 Phi Sigma Kappa .1.0539 Pi Kappa Alpha .1.0451 Phi Kappa Psi .1.0298 Sigma Phi Epsilon .1.0180 Sigma Chi .1.0051 Phi Gamma Delta .1.0000 Sigma Nu .9955 Zeta hall .8831 Delta Tau Delta .8589 Sigma Alpha Epsilon .8545 “Patronize Emerald advertisers.” It's Quick-Starting GET IT HERE BILL DeLACY llth and High Sts.
