Sometimes the days seem grey and flat, the books prove recalcitrant, and there is no savor to our life. But we eat and are clothed without much worry to ourselves. Our support comes mostly from our parents, and we don’t fight the world for the right to exist. Our work isn’t particularly hard, and it isn’t particularly boring, and we have agreeable companions for our leisure hours. College years pass easily enough. But afterward—there’s the rub! When you have to stand on your own feet, fight your own battles, compete with other men for one of the woefully few jobs offered, feed, clothe, and house yourself, and try 1o put a little money aside for security; that’s where life becomes real. And that’s were worry creeps in; that subtle, icy poison that puts gall in the brightest day, jangles the nerves of the strongest, steps up the competition, and puts a constant drain on energy and initiative. It isn’t so bad if you have a job. It isn’t so bad if you can keep pace with the com petition-drive, drive, drive all day long— plan as well as the other fellow—think as fast, and hold up your end of the game. Even then an overheard phrase, “Bill got the axe oday—they're cutting down on the sales force,” will put a sudden load on the heart that is hard to shake off. But when you don’t have a job—then is when the going becomes really hard. Worry dogs you then—spurs you constantly—puts thin lines of despair on your face and racks your sleep. Acquaintances turn a little cold, for it isn’t pleasant to be around someone who’s running in hard luck. Your applica tions for jobs are generally refused pretty abruptly. It saves a lot of arguing if a re fusal is harsh. Life can be pretty grim, and you’d bel ter take that into consideration while you’re still up here where you can figure the angles and change your course to fit your capa bilities and your opportunities. You might start now to promote the position you want when you’re out of school, instead of wait ing until you’re tossed out into life, sink or swim. Duck vs. Beaver TPONKillT they clash. Oregon’s dribbling Bucks and the Orange hoopsters will mix on the Oregon State, court to decide— for the present—the leadership of the north ern conference. Each team lias scored victories over the same opponent. Oregon State, which has proven to be the real “dark horse’’ in the conference, will face a Bill Reinhart “story hook basketball team. A team, that has twice, when oppressed by overwhelming odds, strengthened in the latter minutes of play to snatch away victory. The contest will be fast and spectacular. This is no ordinary game. It is the season's first meeting between these ancient and col orful rivals. The stands will be packed with enthusiastic rooters __ altering, shouting, and yes—howling. There is more than mere game victory at stake. The winning school is giving it mom ent of marked superiority over its rival— and ;t conference championship may he in the offing. But let ns get our lulls, we must he off to Corvallis. One Reason, Mr. Long PRESIDENT James .W Smith, of Louisi ana State university, and Huey 1*. Long, selfmade dictator of Louisana, expressed a certain degree of indignation when Edwin Rogers Etubree, president of the Julius Kosenwald Fund -devoted among other tilings to educational interests.denied that he had ever said L. S. lT. would he ranked by him amongst the first twelve institutions of learning in the country. Time weekly reports that Emhree did so declare himself last spring when he passed through Baton Rouge. Nevertheless Etubree denies it, saying that no southern university will he named by him among the first twelve in the order ot excellence. No reasons were given for this reversal. We would like to offer one reason why L.S.l . might not be considered one of the country’s leading universities. Freedom of expression of students opinion at L. S. LT. was destroyed. The incident, as will be recalled, devel oped from a letter to Ed tor Jesse Cut rev, which was reprinted in the columns of the Revielle. Huey Long, informed of this let ter which criticized him and his policies, so Cutrer reported to the Intercollegiate Daily Neswpaper association in Washington, D. C . had every paper in which it appeared des troyed, and had tile paper reset and rerun with the letter omitted. Cutrer and many of hi* staff resigned their positions to protest such control of the 1 press, and in turn. President Smith removed ! the protesting group from the Uuiven.it>. ' Some were reinstated, but the principle ‘‘of fenders” refused to return. President Smith’s action unquestionably came from his desire to stay in the favor of ‘‘Dictator” Lon?. Direct political control over a university’s policies is detrimental to educational interests; but that is the end towards which President Smith moved in this case. lie had no alternative if he wished to re main upon the payroll of the university, as his signed resignation has reposed in tin* files of the Kingfish's office for some time, just in case any emergency should arise which did not meet Long’s approval. There must of necessity be some political connection with state-operated institutions, but the control foreshadowed by the incident recorded above is too far-reaching and too distant from it's own field to lead to any but harmful ends. So we offer this for the benefit of Huey Long and President Smith as one reason why Mr. Embree will not name Louisiana State university as one of the twelve leading uni versities in the United States. r One Man’s Opinion By STIVERS VERNON \ CCORDING to the forest service animal census, one lonely old silver-tip grizzly still roams the wilds of the upper Willamette forest. This is not pure conjecture. Trappers, hunters, forest service packers, and rangers have seen his tracks for years. They have become a compara tively familiar sight in the upper watershed of the south fork of the McKenzie. At least a half dozen men m the service at present can verify the fact of his existence. One man—now deceased- - reported catching a glimpse of the venerable old patriarch about two years ago. In times past the Cascade mountains were an ideal refuge for the grizzly. The species was not as plentiful as in some parts of the Rockies perhaps, but they were there in considerable numbers just the same .Now but one remains and his time will eventually come to pass on to bear heaven. Census figures estimate that 700 of the small er black and brown bear now roam the Willam ette forest. There has been, however, a noticeable decrease in the young black bear in the south fork country since a certain lamentable incident several years ago. A party of sports—among them at least one big name in American finance —spent two weeks in the upper country. When they came out their war-bag had eighteen black bears tucked away in it. Among these eleven were females. So what — ? Just this: If Oregon would learn to treat each natural resource as though it were her last—which it may be some day- -we would have something to pass on to posterity besides a lot of country that has been raped by bull headed exploitation. We have heard, in our time, a lot of things which we knew made someone gnash their teeth. The one that takes the cake occurred last night over the Columbia Broadcasting system. The pro gram was the March of Time, sponsored by "Time” magazine. It contained a reproduction of a scene enacted in New York shortly after the inauguration of Wirephoto. The sinking of the "Havana” off the Flordia coast was the first great, test of the invention. To draw the com parison between the papers which had the bene fits of Wirephoto and those that did not, the Daiiy News and the Daily Mirror were used as principals in the little drama. The News had Wirephoto and the Mirror did not. After divers goings-on, the villain of the piece—the Mirror— almost scooped the News on pictures of the wreck only to be beaten in the stretch by the coming of Wirejihotos. It wasn’t the story that caught our atttention so much as it was the brazen audacity of Time in using actual names. For a moment this was al- I most breathtaking. Still, Time apparently had the fasts on its side. If they had not been correct, the Mirror might have sued the fire-eating editors for publically making monkeys out of their paper. Here is where our suspicious nature crops out again. We wonder if Time does not have more than a passing interest in Wirephoto. The Passing Show CONGESTED COLLEGES HAT tilt', lecture system is probably the worst scheme ever devised for imparting knowl edge is the opinion of Ur. Hamilton Holt of Hol lins college. "It is assumed that what one man has taken perhaps a life time to acquire by the most pain staking observation, hurd-thinlung, and long-con tinued reflection, can be relayed or spoon-fed to another man who has not gone through a like process," declares Dr. Holt. "Lectures with their subsequent recitations in which the lecturer's statements are handed back to the lecturer by the students word for won! are opposed to true education and are en tirely out ot place in the modern picture where thinking men and women are demanded." Dr. Holt suggests a general use of the dis cussion or conference plan as the means to rem edy this evil. Dr. Holt has much truth on his side in declar ing that lectures are a poor medium of educa tion and that a better system should be found which would allow students to really think in stead of repeating in parrot-like fashion what they have heard in a lecture hall. However, under present conditions, where education is conducted on a mass scale, all reforms that have beeu sug gested to date are impractical. A feasible plan would be to weed out students who are now attending institutions of higher learning because of nothing better to do. More room should be made for students who are realty interested in obtaining knowledge and need higher education for the lino ot work they arc pursuing. With these "ndthing-better-to-do" studetats out of the way, the congested conditions now existing might lie cleared up and a more intensive and personal type of education could be distrib uted. - California Daily Bruin. Music in the Air By George Bickman and Dick Watkins Those of you dear, dear things who have been too busy studying during the past week to read your dear ol' Emerald can hear a com prehensive presentation of cam pus news highlights on the Emer ald program this aft at 4:45. Jane Lagassee and Stan Bromberg will assist in the presenting. Out standing editorials will be read, too. It’s really labor saving, if you'd only appreciate it. Scoop! For the first time in his tory Americans will hear direct radio descriptions of the momen tous elections being held in the Saar. Columbia network at 9:45 Sunday morning. Today at 5:00 on CBS Roxy and his gang will bring new talent and new songs to the air in their 45 minute broadcast. At 6:30 Rich ard Himber and his orchestra with Joey Nash. NBC Goe3 Dramatic! Intensely dramatic. Pipe these Sunday pro grams: "Immortal Dramas,” a panoramic series of stories from the Old Testament, dramatized against a background of choral and instrumental music at 11:00 a. m.; “Counsellor-at-Law” with Paul Muni at 11:30; "Who Was Jeanne Ross?” on Grand Hotel at 3:30; "Faust” in English at 5:00. LAWRENCE TIBBETT is cele brating this month, his tenth year as a Metropolitan Opera star and radio headliner. In January, 1925, TIBBETT was just an un known young baritone from Cali fornia when he was suddenly sub stituted for a sick singer for the role of Ford in VERDI’S opera, "Falstaff,” and was accorded the greatest ovation ever received by a new singer at the Met., this in itial success skyrocketing him to permanent stardom as one of the greatest baritones in operatic his tory. ITENRY KING’S orchestra cur rently at the Waldorf-Astoria, fea tures a violin octette and a choir of voices. Three motion picture studios are competing with each other for the services of CAB CAL LOWAY and his Cotton Club or chestra, yet his highness of ho-de ho appears to be taking his >wn sweet time about signing a con tract with any of them. ELSIE JANIS, famous Broadway come dienne, who won her spurs cheer ing up doughboys in the front-line trenches during the late war to end war, recently became NBC’s first woman announcer. DON BESTOR’s New Year resolution is to write at least one song per month, while HAL KEMP'S is to drink at least one quart of milk per day. Apparently wine, women and song do not mix well with bandleaders, judging from the lat ter. GRACE MOORE, whose perfor mance in “One Night of Love” made the great unwashed public sit up and take notice, is now ap pearing in a series of half-hour song broadcasts every Tuesday night over the NBC at six chimes. BEN BERNIE and all the lads have recently been having AL JOLSON as their guest perform er on some of their weekly radio programs. BERNIE & band are at present engaged in making a picture with GEORGE RAFT. FRED WARING who without doubt, has the most versatile and entertaining band on the air or any place else has had his weekly program extended to a full hour. Listening in the other night, we got the impression it is now too long and not up to the caliber of his previous performances. With JIMMY DIERICK'S band from Corvallis furnishing the mu sic for the Soph Garden Party in the Igloo this evening, a large at tendance should be expected, in spite of the poor publicity given to the affair. Who ever had charge of the publicity angle, ought to be roasted for his negli gence. for up till a day or two ago when the first regular Emerald came out, the Soph jig was kept e deep dark secret, which of course, always boosts the ticket sale. Something is wrong some where. Freshmen Hear Barker Monday Burt Brown Barker, vice-presi dent for the University, will give the third of the series of special freshman assembly speeches Mon day evening, January 1-1. at 7:30 in the music auditorium.

Ducks Battle (Continued from Page One) portion of each game in the series as Corvallis. Bill Berg Out * Almost on the eve of the “big game," Oregon’s chances of vic tory were perceptibly lowered by the news that Captain Bill Berg would be unable to play. His ab sence leaves four lettermen battl ing for the two forward positions. Most likely to get the starting call are Glen Sanford and Ron Gem mel, although another pair of six footers, John Lewis and Rollie Rourke, stand almost as good a chance to start. Willie Jones and Bill Harcombe are slated to alter nate at the pivot post while Budd Jones and Sam Liebowitz will be teamed at guard. The Orange crew will be headed by Captain George Hibbard, a vet eran forward of two year’s stand ing.A dash of color will be lent the game by the appearance of Lefty Palmberg and Mose Lyman, mem bers of the Orange squad of sev eral years ago and but recently re turned from Europe. Oregon State's expert tip off agent, Folen, seems to have beaten off the rise of his young rival, Earl Conkling, and will probably start at center. Bergstrom at guard completes the Orange list. Soviet Plan (Continued from Page One) in a widely-read book. He visited the orient during the heights of its bloody revolution and saw the results of economic instability. He has also spent a great deal of time in Canada. In 1905 Nearing earned his B.S. degree his Ph.D. degree. He spent eylvania and four years later re ceived his Ph.D. degree.
