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.
Wimi I lie Ducks were carrying 1 lu* battle
the crowd wiis rigid with llicut every second

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.

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.

Tins transition may be difficult to accept, at

progressive fraternities generally arc much less

The Press Fithlles
If hile the ft arid
Court Issue fiurns
PREDICTIONS of trouble that
many astute senatorial observ
ers cast out last week when view
ing the prospects of an adminis
tration victory on the question of
the World Court seemed amply
justified with the vote announced
yesterday. 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.

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

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.”
