To attempt a diagnosis of the ailment is not our particular assignment, nor is sports prognostication within the editorial prov ince. Hut it is apparent to even the most casual observer that Oreo-on really has a ball club this year, even though the Pucks are doing a lot of waddling while trying to hit their stride. It is likewise apparent, at least; from the exhibition during the second Washington game, that Oregon will flatly refuse to he relegated to the conference depths without putting up a terrific scrap. The way the Webfoots hawked the ball in the second fracas showed that they were not in there to lake it lving down.

So Imw as the Ducks carry through that l‘i<i’111i11*>■ spirit they don’t have to worry about support from the stands. We still maintain that on that Oregon sipiad is a winning; combination which, if it plays long'll basketball, gels the hands of the gallery. With the crowd and the team together Oregon should climb several rungs on the ladder before the campaign is fin ished. All the rooters want is the old Oregon fighting drive. That depends upon the I ea m. A Tradition: Dolls for Boys 'T'lIK -Murray Warner Oriental Art mu scum has aimimiieril a display of festival (lulls an anthrnlie collection ul' tlm 12-inch figures of national warriors and statesmen which are tile treasured possessions of -lap anese hoys. On the fifth of each May in -lapau, hoys take from the family chest their festival i dolls, which represent the holmes of the I country, arrange them in a prominent posi tion. and gaze admiringly upon the military j and patriotic accomplishments embodied in these figures. 11 is an interest ing tradii ion. On the fifth of May in Kugriie. we vent nre. most hoys who are not tossing baseballs in the middle ot the streets are luisv running' errands. At most, they are far from the proximity of such a thine' as a doll. The | closest that American Jimmy usually gets to that despised article is at Christmas time with a condescendiii" glance at his sister's presents or in a streak of impishness when he dee ides to hide the ha by s I o \ s behind the bookcase. Patriotism and dolls? Incompatible! I'-ven to the older youths who. with their increasing interest in women have ahan doued little Jimmy s scorn of all things re luted to the fair sex. the idea sounds a little far-fetched. Incompatible. And yet in Japan the hows doll festival is as much an expression ot patriotic sentiment as js the explosion of i ireei'Mekers and the shooting of roman i candles on Jimmy's fourth id’ Julv. It might he wise for those with scorn \ et in their hearts to glance at the effeminate display which rivals baseballs and sk.\ rockets.

The be! fry, tOo. is erect, but the roofs arc slightly asbimp. The gray walls have lost their initial polish through months of battling with the elements. Kven the windows have been boarded, eliminating what little pleasure small boys might receive from “plunking’" tItem with their slingshots. The building occupies a. valuable site near the I niversity. The superintendent of city schools says that tile building will not be used again. We. in our bumble way. ask tin; city of I'lugenc to remove it. One Mon’s Opinion _liy livers Vernon_ /"AX the editorial page of the New York Ameri can, operated by the Hearst interests, ap pears an editorial which might, without too much straining of the mental processes, prove to he food for thought. The writer of the piece opens his discourse by enumerating certain words and expressions which have been coined by the present national adminis tration and winds up by placing special emphasis on the twin words "over-privileged” and "under privileged.” According to this writer the national govern ment is attempting to better the status of the under-privileged element in our population but in so doing cannot help lowering the status of the class now referred to as over-privileged. This is viewed witli typical Hearst alarm, the conten tion being by implication that all under- priv ileged people are by the very nature of things, incompetents. “The greatest danger of our age," our writer vouchsafes, “is the attempt to reduce the stand ard of the competent man to that of the incompe tent . . .” And he goes on to remark that those who enjoy the bliss of financial comfort have arrived there by virtue of their contributions to the civilized life of our nation. Only those who are com pet t at contributors should be over-privi leged. Right here we might insert an interesting dis cussion of tlie meaning of the word "contribu tion.” For some reason or other we persist in clinging to that old fashioned interpretation of the word which indicates that a contribution is something which is given or a participation in the giving of that which is of value or of practi cal use. Now of course, we might be lightly accused of being backward in our thinking in some respects, buL we simply can't dope out any way in which a Wall street market gambler is a participant in the up building of our country’s prosperity. And yet, by the popular definition of over-privileged, he would seem to fit in that va.i,t:gw ly. Again we fail to see what contribution to the general good is being made by racketeering politicians into which class so many of our public servants fall. Or shyster lawyers. Or salesmen of gold brick securities. (These latter, thank God! have found the field of their operations somewhat limited since the depression.) Or a lot of others. Think around can’t you name a hundred chaps whose labors have been for naught save their own good ? On the other hand, we still persist in the idea that the fellow who digs a ditch or pushes a street broom around or drives a taxi is a gen uine contributor to society, lie is a part of the vast and infinitely complex mechanism that has been set up to permit, our world to move and live ami have definite being. Vet Ibis chap compared with the gentlemen mentioned in the other classi fication is forced into the class of the under privileged when the first chili winds of bad limes blow in. No, it isn’t adjusted quite right somewhere. We still believe that the democratic administra tion, while keeping a weather eye out for votes in the next election, is really trying to solve lire difficulties which are bred by such a maladjust ment. And the editorial writer on the “American” after all the poor devil is only working for WK1I. And anyhow, maybe it, was a bad day lot good editorial material and he just had to say NO.MKTUING.

Instead ol being catered to and sought alter, it becomes their task as humble neophytes to eater to and seek after. Tins transition may be difficult to accept, at least it will be somewhat disconcerting at first. The good sport, however, will accept that which tall.-- to Ins lot in the spirit in which it is intended and proceed to enjoy his pledgeship. Although progressive fraternities generally arc much less severe with their pledges than in past yeais and have to a large extent abolished corporeal pun ishment as a means of inspiring certain stubborn novices to toe the mark, there still will be a few pledges who will resent the treatment they re ceive, h or the latter it is necessary to point out that, essentially, the duties of pledgeship and the ceremonies of initiation . pm ate to weld the new comer to ttie group. It is a period of trial during which eithe. party to the pledge individually or mutually may discover a lack of essential har mony in aims, ideals, or fellowship.

The motion for adher ence failed of the necessary two thirds majority for passage. The vote was 52 in favor of adherence to the protocol to 36 against. Radio Lobbyist The bill, which had sped through the house with little opposition, met with decidedly stiff contro versy in the upper chamber, and after a rapid propaganda attack, led by that renowned off-the-floor lobbyist, F'ather Coughlin, failed of the necessary vote. Press re ports show that radio campaigners against the bill induced nearly forty thousand people to wire and write their senators threatening the loss of their votes if the bill were supported. Judgment or Hysteria? Thus another bitter comment is written upon the margin of our legislative history. A few men, who doubtless knew far too well the impending perils of the “pol icy of isolation” sold their votes down the river at the instigation of a radio impressario who by his very popularity is able to sway a bloc of voters to his opinion. Newspaper Opinion The reaction of the local press is interesting. The Democratic; paper in Portland (occupied no aoubt, too deeply by consideration j of the governor’s present coup) re-; fused to comment editorially, al though a long and competent story i was run in their columns. The lo-l cal afternoon paper analyzes the situation: “The defeat of the World Court says that people who are hungry, troubled with their own woes don’t give a hang about the affairs of other nations.” The I nfort unate Senate Such a surprising' display of acu men has rarely been met before. Are the members of the American senate hungry? Are they troubled with their own specific woes? Is it the affair of other nations if we j become entangled in another war) with its millions of deaths and in juries ? Optimistic Editor If in one's veins ran the rhapso dic blood that apparently courses through the flesh of the commen tator for the Guard, he might al low himself the pleasant and innoc uous pastime of building brilliant mental pictures of the suffering and starving senators, condemned tr live in poverty and need, with their souls forever haunted with the vision of insecurity and hunger. But no more. It is enough. We have spoken of the woes of our nation's legislators too long in “slow and bated breath." Let us continue with the Guard’s scintil lating analysis. "The World Court goes on with the United States out of it. If its work is effective, constructive, America will go in soon or late.” The Press Steps in Line sion of ulterior aims has long characterised the American people, I sc we should hardly be surprised! to discover the press echoing this view: it is increasingly obvious that our senators have adopted this excellent and fruitful policy of giving nothing and taking ev erything. Should we be surprised to see this attitude in the press? McViry (. houses Peace But citizens who see more in sincerity than opportunism, or who can admire integrity more than personal success, must of a neces sity realize that the time must come when a nation that is avowed ly neither bird nor beast must pay some reckoning. The only ame liorating factor for Oregon in this1 disgraceful affair lies in the ac tion of her two senators; one, an j administration man, followed his party, the other, with more faith m his convictions, than in iris chances of re-election likewise east his vote for the cause of peace.

A plan aimed to limit the num ber of pledges to sororities at the University of Iowa was adopted recently. It seeks to establish a set number of 35 members and pledges for each sorority. It al lows any sorority to pledge girls at any time, and during the fall rushing season, any sorority can pledges a:; many as necessary to bring the membership up to 35, in any case may pledge at least 10.

By Stanley Robe Right or Wrong EK2E _™ --~-—fr. Again 1 See In Fancy --Ry Frederic S. Dunn -- - Old Deady Hall Is Scene oi‘ Fun Old Deady Hall in its earliest years was equipped with a study room for girls. Equipped ? A bare room with one bench! The girls who could not squeeze into that one bench, sat on the floor, sar torial-wise or pigeon-toed. The men were taboo and took to the board fence whenever weather per mitted. It was a study room, but some times pervaded with that animal playfulness which has presumably come down to us out of tree tops. I did have reference (playfully, of coursei to arboreal ancestry. But the metaphor is quite apt since it has to do with apples from Chi chester’s. When you shy a seed or a core or even a whole apple at some braided head or ginghamed back, what on earth can prevent o giggle? Well, one day, there were ap ples and giggles and Latin all mixed into one indistinguishable, delicious souffle. Anna Benner, seated on the floor with Caesar in her lap,—I mean his ‘de Bello Gal lico,’ had just aimed an apple in terribly girlish parabolic fashion. The door opened and Professor Bailey, with inquisitive gleam back of his glasses, stood there for or.e breathless second, while that ap ple just missed his most apoplec tic center, and sposhed against the wall. It was enough. There was a silence in that study room that endured for two whole days, -until some one raided Chiches ter's barn again. When Dr. Mark Bailey was at work, he took cognizance of nei ther apples nor custard pie. The ancients talk much of Archimedes and his circles and of his death be cause of refusal to be disturbed, here was a wizard in mathematics in our midst, a wizard perhaps not quite so spectacular but just as profoundly imperturbable. “How are you, Professor?", cheerfully inquired Bon B. Boek-; man, ’84, as he sauntered down Willamette Street from Under wood Castle, and chanced to meet Doctor Bailey. The latter did not take it to be a casual greeting but paused to talk with Ben. “Well,” replied the Professor, “to tell the truth, I am not feeling so very active today.” And per haps Ben could recall a great fire in Eugene not so long before when Professor Bailey had thrown off his long Prince Albert coat and worked with tremendous energy at the hand rail engine and in the, bucket-line. “No,” continued Professor Bai-; ley, with a sort of apologetic grin, “I was working on the parallax of a star last night. Mrs. Bailey re monstrated with me several times, but I just could not quit until I had finished my calculations. And it was four o'clock in the morning before I went to bed. Too much parallax for once, 1 guess, but I worked it out.” Next in the series NO CUSPI DOR FOR HIM. Dr. Parsons i !
