THE TRIAD IS GONE THE Miami Triad ball in henceforth and forever banned from the University campus. To point a moral is a distasteful task, yet there is a lesson to be drawn from the action of the stu dent welfare committee yesterday. It is that stu dents, if they are to continue to enjoy the freedom of conduct permitted them under new conditions, must expect to stay within the lines of decency and sobriety. The penalty that has been meted out to the I three houses who were sponsors of the dance is j severe. Particularly severe in view of the fact that nonc of the fraternities involved would knowingly have countenanced misbehavior. It was the action of a few individuals which brings a penalty to all three fraternities. Repeal of prohibition brings witli it a freedom hitherto unknown to students. University officials, acting on the theory that college students are ma ture enough to uphold decent standards of conduct, have laid down no binding regulations to cover new conditions. Yet officials cannot wink at flagrant abuses of the new privileges. Whenever any student so de ports himself as to reflect discredit upon himself and the University, he must expect to suffer the consequences. And in some cases, as in the present one, the consequences may involve not only the restriction of iiis personal privileges, hut those of his entire paternal group, perhaps even of the entire Uni versity. OSCAR MDNOER T?ROM The Dailes yesterday came a news bulletin •*- that brought a pang to every veteran member of the Emerald staff. It told of the death, at the | age of 23, of Oscar Monger, who last year held a, high editorial position on this newspaper. A grave physical handicap which endured through his college career and ultimately caused his death, was no bar t• > the progress of this young man. A dogged courage and strength of will raised him to a position of eminence in scholarship and, executive responsibility far above most of his full bodied classmates. Monger’s talents and ability were given sig nificant recognition at the close of his senior year in the award of the Turnbull-Hall honor trophy fori the outstanding senior journalism student. In the1 Emerald's hall of fame the inscription on that plaque will remain a fitting memorial: “To the University id' Oregon senior who has shown the most outstanding ability in journalism, who has worked most earnestly and consistently on the Oregon Daily Emerald, and who has proved the greatest inspiration to his 1 fellow staff members.” The University has lost a promising alumnus,; and the profession of journalism a promising re cruit. KKVOT.l TION IX VIEW v fT'ERRORISM has swept through the streets of another onee-glorious European capital, Vienna in Austria. Unlike the Paris riot where masses of Royalists, Communists, and irate taxpayers joined in wild protest to official corruption, social ists wore blamed for the Vienna outbreak. The task of quelling tin mobs was placed in the hands of a grange assortment of police sol dier;, and members of the az' Haimweiir. hath sides making use of machine guns and hand grenades. The incident is just one more chapter in the j march of Austria toward fascist rule—rather, nazi rule. Socialists, realizing the writing on the wall, have taken one of the few remaining opportunities to register their protest. Reduced to a remnant of the former power that was pre-war Austria, that inland nation is now only one-third the size of our own state of Oregon, and has a population of a paltry six and one-half millions. Ninety-four per cent of Austria’s peoples are of German origin, hence are pro-German. Herr Hitler has brought to Germany an exalted sense of nationalism; he has dragged out the old family album and expounded the glory that was once Central Europe's. Quite natural has been the response of millions of Aus trians. The midget chancelkDr. Engelbert Dollfuss, has during the past sev ral months played a bril liant political game both at home and abroad. A personal interview with Premier Mussolini netted him Italian sympathy, and a few friendly words with France gained the support of that anti-Hitler stronghold. Concessions to the Nazis along lines of industrial reorganization and political revision slowed down the tide, but renewed attacks by Hitler adherents were practically inevitable. In the Eastern Tyrol a week ago the Nazi Heirn wehr, or “home guard,” apparently finding renewed confidence in French absorption in home troubles, dared to set up Nazi military rule in that end of the country, under the Heimwehr Commander Prince Ernst von Starhemberg. General Starhem berg, by the way, had proclaimed his allegiance to Dollfuss but one week earlier. Austrian Nazis are well aware that foreign intervention on behalf of the present government is extremely unlikely. Chancellor Dollfuss has announced he will ap peal to the League of Nations, but the contempt held throughout Europe for that body’s diplomatic powers in international politics indicates the futility of such a move. Austria is little more than a Ger man province, despite energetic attempts of France to divorce her tv/o wartime enemies. The only hope for independent Austria is in Hitler’s downfall in his own country, and that seems unlikely. As many Austrians feel, the question is not whether Austria will succumb to Nazi persuasion, but where Dollfuss will be when Nazi rule is offi cially proclaimed. STAGE-STAKVED STUDENTS ATHERINE CORNELL with her “Barretts of Wimpole Street” company played in Portland a short time,ago. Last Saturday Eva LeGallienne brought two Ibsen plays to Portland, “Hedda Gabler” and “The Doll's House.” On both occasions many Oregon students have been able to make a weekend trip for the express purpose of seeing these two actresses who are braving the west three thousand miles from their native haunts. And not only students went to Portland for Cornell and LeGallienne. It was remarked, at Portland's Playhouse, that you couldn't look at three people without seeing one from Eugene. But in spite of the large numbers who could go, there were many who stayed home and wished they could have gone. vIn Eugene we have not the opportunity of see ing even the poor circuit repertory companies. The only dramatic attempts are student productions. They are usually ambitious pieces, sincerely done with the best principles of artistic treatment in mind, but, with all respect, they cannot begin to compare with the cream of the legitimate stage. It seems deplorable that we are able to get such splendid organizations as the Portland Symphony, and such artists as Roland Hayes, but never rep resentative of professional stage. The response given to local musical events proves that Eugene is highly receptive to cultural entertainment. The University, we like to boast, has given Eugene many features of this kind. Popular interest in the stage is far greater than popular interest in music. With all of the indications in regard to attend ance here and in Portland, it would seem to sug gest that some of these dramatic artists might do worse than to take a chance on Eugene. And those who select the student entertainnren here could do worse than to consider the possibility of attracting some sort of good stage productions here during the winter seasons. OVERFLOW QEQURL: Saturday's little dissertation on the ^ pixie that prompts patents to give their broods fanciful names matched like a set of golf irons brought forth an example that puts ours to shame. Seeing our citation of the family whose children were named "Wilma, Wilfred, William, Winona, and Wilhelmina" prompted a friend of ours to tell us of the names of his mother's family. The five girls were named: Millie, Manic, Mertie, Morna, Mettie. Sing it out fast in a high monotone and you'll sound like Cab Calloway. A man who just returned from San Fran cisco told us of one of his traveling companions on the train. She was a very haughty lady of clipped accent and noble bearing. She had been study ing her time tables and travel literature down along Klamath Falls. She leaned over and said: "Beg youah palidon. but could you tell me how fah it is to Creator Lake?" While waiting for the waitress to bring tIre soup the other night in a restaurant, we picked up a newspaper and started to work the cross word puzzle. Some other poor soul, in harried flight from the muttcrings of fate, had also sought refuge in the puzzle, for his black scribblings and dots were scrawled all about the margins. He hadn't been doing so well with the puzzle, though, for not until he was nearly t.. the bottom had he guessed a word. There, all by itself, was written the word "Note."

ALLEN, Paris corre spondent of the Chicago Trib une, who will visit the campus within the next fe wdays, was once a member of the Emerald editorial staff. The editor of the Emerald at that time, 1921-22, was Floyd Maxwell, now a promi nent Portland theater manager. A few now-famous journalists who were members of the Emer ald staff that year were John An derson, Earle Voorhies, Arne Rae, George Godfrey, Ernie Haycox, and Freda Goodrich. r. O. T. C. appeared to be an important question even then, for in that year the Emerald con ducted a campaign to abolish mili tary training entirely. The fol lowing editorial written by Jay Allen is from the Emerald of Jan uary 12, 1922. It is reprinted in full. “The It. O. T. C.—A Nightmare "Decrying a lack of vision in modern life, John Galsworthy, em inent English novelist, writes as follows in the Yale Review for October of last year under the title of ‘Castles in Spain': “ ‘The past six years have been the result of the past six hundred years. The war was no spasmodic visitation; it was the culmination of age-long competitions. The past six years have devoured many millions of grown men, more millions of little children prevented their birth, killed them, or withered them for life. If we begin again these crazy competi tions, without regard for beauty or the dignity of human life, we shall live to see ten million per ished for every million perished in this war. We shall live to curse the day this day when, at the end of so great a lesson, we were too sane to take it to heart; too sensible nnd practical and busi ness-like and unemotional to see visions and dream dreams, and build our castles in Spain.' "The R. O. T. G. has no place in a castle in Spain. It has no place in university life where if castles are ever to be built their foundations surely must be laid it is a part of the sensible and practical and business-like and unemotional- a part of all t He rot which was to have been burned out of civilization b> the fires of the war. But it wasn t burned away. The fire meant for it has seemingly seared those other qual ities in American life which bowed to the war because the war was to mean the beginning of the end of brutality. "A foster-brother of liberal edu cation, born of the union of Amer ica's colleges and that strange i bed-mate ’war-time necessity,' the R. O. T. C.. the principle behind it. has outworn usefulness. Only taken in here at Oregon because of the stress of those war days and only made a requirement for graduation without regular faculty action it seems now to have fas tened on, to have moved in to stay. Why ? "Mr. Galsworthy would build castles lie says. Very well, let us build too, and not tear down. Let us do wliat the R. O. T. C. does not do except by accident let us put the money spent on it in build mg stryng bodies, trained to live correctly and not to kill. "Thi; novelist who partially ad mit sj a 'deep-seated sentimental nun cvcu m this modern : life, which seems to him a breathless, grudging, visionless scramble from birth to death,’ ‘a night with not stars out,’ says more: “ ‘We of this still young cen tury may yet leave to those who come after us at least the founda tions of a castle in Spain such as the world has not yet seen; leave our successors in mood and heart to continue our work; so that one hundred and fifty years perhaps from now, human life may really be dignified and beautiful . . .’ “Beauty and dignity, no wars surely, no ‘crazy competition’— dream stuff no doubt—but what rare stuff for dreams! At the University of Oregon it will be come increasingly hard to create dream fabric, to take the feet from off the ground, with shackles about the ankles. The R. O. T. C. is such a shackle in university life. It doesn’t belong.” Although military training was not abolished, army officials re The Safety Valve An Outlet for Campus Steam All communications are to be addressed to The Editor, Oregon Daily Emerald, and should not exceed 200 words in length.

To ihe Editor: It is regrettable that our es teemed ex-editor should be forced to waste his valuable time on such a trivial matter as he chose in the Saturday issue of this publication.

Baird from command of the University barracks. With the understand ing that the military department would be conducted decently, as it evidently had not been in the past, Colonel W. F. Sinclair was in stalled in command. Colonel Sinclair made himself popular on the campus by making the following statement: “I won’t have a damned conscientious ob jector in this regiment. I don’t simply want to be lenient, but I want to get rid of them. I want an enthusiastic regiment of boys that want to drill.” Jay Allen is probably most fa mous for an editorial comment appearing in the April 25, 1922 issue of the Emerald. “The editor of The Emerald has never been a Catholic, a Jew or a Negro, but lately because of the activities of the Ku Klux Klan he has been tempted to become all three.” It was reprinted by newspapers throughout the United States. person that our critic so unwit tingly passed, to find his reaction to the insult. Sincerely yours, C. R. H. To the Editor: Was shocked to hear of Oscar Hunger’s death. In the face of adversity he had the courage to surmount obstacles which would have defeated the rest of us. No member of the Emerald staff was more loyal than he. and none had his splendid resourcefulness and high integrity. He exemplified that indomitable will and spirit which makes men rise above the ranks. More persons admired and respected Oscar Munger than any other student on the campus.
