Tribute From the Far Fast OKTJ1Y recognition of ait infernal ion ’ ^ ally known interest in tin-* culture and fine arts of the Far Fast and the establish ment of an outstanding oriental art museum, on the e.arnpus, through the td’forts ol Mrs. (iertrude I hiss Warner, has been accorded the Vuiversify of Oregon by 1 lie Society for International Cultural Relations of Japan. Close on the heels of the recent Carnegie grant to the Cfiiversity aid stdiool. one of two made in the county, comes the an nouncement of 1 he assignment of Jiro liar ada. commissioner of tin* Imperial Household museum of Toyko, and one of 1 hi* ontsland- I jng antliorities on Japanese art in the world to the Cniversity for fall and winter terms ! of next year. Oregon was the only educational insti tution in the I'nited States, out of JO colleges and universities in the world, considered, to be assigned one of the llireo Japanese experts sent out by Ihe Japanese society. 'I’lie Cniversity could not have chosen a better or more qualified person luiff it been privileged to go to Japan and make its own choice. In addition to the establishment of the Cniversity as III.liter of Japanese art and oriental culture for the entire country, the assignment of Mr. llavada to the Uni versity will help to strengthen the position of the art school as the leading art center on the coast and one of the outstanding in the lint ion. Behind tlit* honor of this event is a mon heartening indication, llurt of peace with the orient. One Of Ihe fundamental reasons ex pressed by the Japanese for sending these experts to the educational centers of the world was to further a desire for peace be tween the nations, in places where these thoughts of pence will have the most effect on the future, through making the culture, the art, and tin* mores and folkways of the oriental and occidental common knowledge. It is through appreciation and under standing of other’s viewpoints that we are able to get along with I hem and 1 his asserted movement toward peace on the part of tin* Japanese is not only a eommendalde one but may be a Jar reaching one. Oh, Boy! Oh, Boy! Oh, Boy! arc* si ill hoarse*. Wt* slill have a slight ' ’ tract* of nervous exhaustion. We have j completely run out of superlatives. It s trite to sav it.

Innovation: Symphony on tin* Air JVfA.UvS PIC strains of the music of some ol the worlds greatest symphonic ar rangers tilled Kugeue living rooms Sunday a ft ernoon.

In the nature of a test and an experiment the broadcast, was so successful from a technical standpoint that no longer is there any doubt of the praetibility of releasing concerts as features of the Emerald of the Air. Gratifying is the response to a program presented without publicity. Jn broadcasting concerts of this type the University is doing a service to hundreds of persons living within the 7f)-mile daylight range of KOIiE. to many homes who do not boast radios of sufficient receptive power to ha ve access to fine music these programs can be of real service. That, after all. is the purpose of a Univer sity. Pledge.1—The Martyrs 'T'UE I Diversity of Washington has clamped down on “hell week’’ in fra ternities. Ph-dir s of a certain house recently wen* required to remove the plumbing fix tures from a service station and it was a little too much for the college officials. It is sale to assume that the fraternities will object. How unreasonable of the author ities to become angered because some plumb ing fixtures were taken and how incon siderate ot the service station owners to object in the first place! Surely they should not mind their equipment being carried off when it s all done in a friendly spirit. For a long time now fraternities have unsuccessfully been trying to show that there is really no harm in a few boyish pranks. Hut somehow authorities still object to pledges I urning on fire hydrants and col lecting street signs. And citizens have made the situation even worse. II people wen* not so stubborn in believing their ears stolen when pledges have only borrowed them for a few hours, or objecting to breaking rows of glasses in restaurants, the college authorities might never have started such an era of repression! There was a time when the freshmen and sophomores in the University of Cali lornia used to have an annual “battle” - but .just because a student was accidentally hilled, the tight was banned. It is really tyranny, the way colleges are suppressing such simple pleasures as demol ishing furniture and breaking dishes. Ji’epression ! Ah -d is a tragedy! One Man’s Opinion --s „. ;—By Stivers Vernon - r"|~'WO rocking-chair fishermen almost, but not quite pulled a fast one. ‘‘Rocking-chair" fishermen, in case you didn't know it, are gentlemen of more means than am bition who can afford to hire a boat from one of the various licensed operators on the river, to float down over the best holes and riffles and fish at their leisure. The attempted coup consisted of the intro duction by Senator Allen Bynon of Portland, of bill 114 which would open to boat fishing practic ally all of the navigable reaches of the McKenzie river. We said "attempted.” We prophecy the measure will meet its doom in the committee hearing on the subject some time this week. If it does not, it will be because the moneyed in terests behind the bill are more powerful than a certain group of public spirited citizens in this city who are opposing I lie measure. In case you don't, know what all the shouting is about, here are a few facts. By fishing from boats it is possible to reach practically any point on the river1, in consequence, I lie fish have no place where they are reasonably safe from fishermen. This fact has led to a de crease in propagation and in the supply of game fish. ‘file McKenzie has taken a terrible beating irom Hie thousands of anglers to whom it lias become a veritable mecca. If ii is to continue to be a drawing curd for out of state travelers and sportsmen, the supply of fish must admittedly be protected. To this end legislation was enacted whieli permitted boat fishing lit ween the Leaburg dam and Blue River only. The upper river was lett to the bank fishermen, from whom the fish coutd always find a certain safety. The new bill would open the river as far up as McKenzie bridge to boat fishing and once again leave no opportunity for the fish to propagate in safety. To counteract this measure a bill has been diawn up which would close ttie entire measure, lhis bill was written in Kugene and will be in troduced tomorrow by Senator MeCornack. It will likewise provide that the carrying of as sembled fishing gear in a boat shall constitute a misdemeanor. Nou then, what interests are behind Senate Hill III. whieh would prey upon our natural re souiees? Names are as yet but rumors. The most prevalent one indicated that a certain gentleman who owns a palatial summer home at McKenzie bridge and who is associated with a nation-wide transportation company, is the actual sponsor ,n t'onil'a,1.V with him are the sporting interests ■" 1’ortland, the largest of which is a hardware atm sporting-goods company well known in the Northwest, it' the tumor has basis in fact and on the suetace it would appear that it has these in terests are the ones who would despoil the Mc Kenzie for their own selfish profit and pleasure. Whoevei they are, such selfish persons do not deserve the name of sportsmen. IVrsonully. we fail to see the sporting side of persons who. when no tish are forthcoming bv orthodox methods, resort to the douhtful methods known as "hot-dogging. This practice is current among boat operators who arc being paid to see that their passengers get a full basket. We have often indicated our faith in the people °r°Son when it comes to the matter of con servation „t natural resources We reiterate this relict now. However, if public, sentiment allows i he will of the selfish few to be granted, Oregon might as well close up shop and go home as "far us having anything to offer the traveling public in years to come Should the measure opening the river be parsed, it would be only a matter of ! f. a th ijcK Utn pr ..nutcelt a --,j e that m the oahara desert. The Day’s Parade _By Parks Hikdieock Country Medico Hus Statist icians Si am p<ul (iPAKE, bespectacled Dr. F. E. Townsend, oldish country doc tor whose dream of retiring sex agenarians to the lush meadows of $200 a month is a point of sore embarrassment to the men who, knowing “what," must figure “how,” had the house ways and means committee squirming yes terday. Committeemen who scarcely ever : have had their abilities taxed be 1 yond the simple bookkeeping of i balancing a new sewage system for , Hicksburg against what they de | eided should be the building al | lowance, found themselves in a hot ; stew of tricky mathematics. Most Ingenious Paradox! Respectable lawgivers found ! themselves in the position of tho£e I tiddlers who, centuries ago, were i challenged to pick flaws in Zeno’s puzzling paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise. Common sense, they splattered, tells that speedy Achil les will pass the lumbering tor toise. Prove it logically, came back Zeno. And they only fumed. “This isn’t a revolving fund, is it really?” Representative Hill asked the thin-faced dreamer. Answered Townsend: “I don’t j see why not. It revolves from the ! government back to the commun j ity.” Round and round it will go. And | economically fallacious as they say it is,*lance after lance has been broken on the bubble and the peti tions keep on coming in. Scared of Sexagenarian Souses Almost all the political bigwigs' have given up criticizing the me chanics of the plan and are stab i bing it with moral daggers, either | because they feel economically in j competent or because they believe J their constituents more tractable! I when led by the nose-ring of moral habit than by the appeal of logic. About wealthy people: “Could; j they squander the $200 a month?"] 1 Hill asked, referring to men like j Ford, Morgan and Rockefeller. I lie good doctor was chuckling inwardly when he answered: "Why not? It's immaterial what they do. They could buy whiskey with it if they want to. We are not trying to regulate people’s morals, but what we want to do is to get the money into circulation.” Week ago, Statistician Abraham Epstein left his sliderule in his pocket and pounded the pulpit with a fit that rolled of doom. "We will have the spectacle of old people riding around the country in fast motor cars, digging themselves an early grace staying up all night drinking champagne in an effort to spend their new wealth." From Bipstein was a expected a real scientific exposure of the Townsend presto-chango, and in intelligent circles over the country it is believed that the emotion presently attached to the plan will continue to be a menace until fig ures acceptable to the populace are mustered up in opposition. Cleopatra Also Had Her Faults Editor, the Emerald: The battle of the sexes is on! In ibis corner, ladies and gentlemen, is Miss Marge Petsch defending! the citadel of the female and in this! corner is J.A.N. defending the rights of man. They meet in the center of the ring. Petsch leads! with a broadside at the manners of man, and J.A.N. counters with a flowing eulogy on the place of woman in this world of ours and their little faults and sins that you do. J.A.N.'s reply to the scorching and unjustified vitrol of Miss Petsch was no doubt the outward manifestations of great experience but nevertheless quite failed to hit the spot. No doubt tho policies of Caesar1 hail their faults but those who I criticized him were not judging'! others by themselves. As the sav ing goes their togas dragged in the muck they accused Caesar of spreading And again Anthony may have been a better lover than Caesar but he didn't mold a few; disjointed states into a mighty' Homan empire And Cleopatra had her little faults, too! Which comes down to the solid; conclusion that although the males] do have their rough spots and the i women may be the medium for smoothing these nobs off. never-1 tlieless as self styled judes of the male order the average woman is woefully inadequate, not being per fection personified herself, and that literary manifestation.-. of this judging i- an undoi i at. ../iroivery t ■ | > m&J However e, women mu.t alwas ->i have the last say and so to avoid argument and to allow the specie her self ordained prerogative here with is submitted the first sentence of an editorial on the women's page of a recent issue of the Emerald which adequately explains the whole situation and sums up the women’s arguments in a few' words, ‘‘We feel silly . . . And so feeling silly we’re going to write something silly ...” The editor .al goes on to qualify this state ment. Respectfully submitted, Jean Montesano. JSed Gee To Sing On Air Program By George BiUnion Emerald Radio Editor “Blue Moon" and “If I Had a Million Dollars" are two of the songs to be sung on Ned Gee’s fifteen minute program today on KORE at 4:413. Chuck French, nimble-fingered gentlemen of the keys, will accompany. It’s the regu lar Tuesday edition of the Emerald Of the Air. Sunday afternoon we broad casted, tiior:> or leas us an experi ment, the University symphony orchestra’s concert from Mc Arthur court. According to re ports thus fur received, the radio presentation was highly succesx iul. *t is hoped thei th" broad casting of University musical concert ; will soon come to be a regular Emerald of the air fea ture. Good programs today: on CBS there’s Bing Crosby with the Mills brothers at 6:00, followed by the Isham Jones program; Comedy Stars of Hollywood at 8:15. On NBC Lawrence Tibbett who’s com ing soon to Portland at 5:30. Grace Moore at 6:00, Ed Wynn at 6:30. Leo Reisman at 8:30 followed by Ben Bernie. Andre Itostelanetz, maestro of the popular CBS cigarette pro gram, lias abandoned the use of formal batons because souvenir hunters have taken more than $100 worth from him. Glen Gray ' recruited Vic Rubey, CBS sound j effects man, as an emergency ! drummer for his Casa Luma band during a recent broadcast. Which no doubt goes to prove j something or other. Radio Stars of 1934 Awarded By Dick Watkins Emerald Feature Editor The recent awards for distin guished services to radio in 1391 went to the following; twelve artists a n d programs: Jack Benny, The Gibson Family, Fred 1 Waring, Jessica Dragonette, One Man's Family, the NBC and Merle Aylesworth, Paul White- ; man, Admiral Byrd, the Show- ; boat Hour, the Beauty Box Theatre, the CBS and Johnnay Green, Andre Kostelanetz . The “Gibson Family" weekly radio program, which seems to be doing darn well by itself, is the first musical comedy written ex clusively for broadcasting, so pio neerd the field and due to its popu larity, will probably prove the fore runner of many other similar air i shows. The music is being written j by Howard Deitz and Arthur Schwartz, America’s foremost pop ular song writing team, and have collaborated on such outstanding Broadway hits as the “Band-' wagon,.Three’s a Crowd,” and1 Flying Colors." They are also re sponsible for those two sweet dance tunes, “Dancing in the Dark," and | “Give Me Something to Remem-r her You By,” which are still mak- j. ing the rounds as much as ever although written a number of years ago. Listening in the other night to ' Frank Black’s “Pause That Re freshes,” program, we were cer tainly impressed with his beautiful arrangements and the way he blends the music of one number into another, leaving the melody i unbroken . . . Black is fast be coming the star arranger of radio shows and appears to have the un canny ability of blending all the various instruments of a large or chestra. along with a mixed chorus, into one single organ of melody. Hear him any Friday eve at 7:30 over the NBC. Also, we take hack what ever we once said about Fred War lug's new hour show being too long . . . After his Thursday's performance, we’re under the im pression it isn’t long enough now. That swell girl singing combine, headed h\ ('oak ley’s rx-sidc-kiek, lv;n Thompson, which Waring is featuring, is absolutely dehixo aild grandis ■iiuo . . .

Dunn Uncle Abe and Aunt Sarah Pat terson, grandparents of our own Kenneth, Doris Helen, and Mar tha. were entertaining a guest. He was not “an angel unawares,” for they had known him of old. He was a character. He was probably wearing the same grimy' duster of the Lincoln type in which I saw him draped some years after. His breath was redolent of combusti bles he had imbibed, and he spit, spat, sputtered continuously. In between spats, he talked, and Un cle Abe ana Aunt Sarah listened or did not, for it made little dif ference in the speed or continuity of the eructions. But what worried Aunt Sarah ^ was the fear that he might miss the fireplace. While he was rather! adroit and seemed to take delight i in seeing how nearly he could come to the rim of fire brick, above | and at the sides, nevertheless Aunt i Sarah had a house-wifely respoil-' sibility. So, every now and then, she would push toward his chair a highly decorated cuspidor, which j in the days of more prolific to bacco chewing, was a domestic nc-1 cessity. After two or three such attempts | to draw it to his attention, she succeeded, but was met with the highly scornful ejaculation, “Say, efen you don’t take that gosh-darn thing out of the way, I'll shore spit in it.” Uncle Abe winked at Aunt Sarah as he threw another log on the fire. This lengtny, gawky, unwashed, profane, toba.cconish individual was ‘Lish Applegate, the man who saved the University, the hero to whom we might erect a monument of a “spitter without a spittoon.” Not even a quatrain has been dedi cated to him. It has often been branded as a legend, that story of how, when the people of Eugene were de pairing of raising the bonus de manded by the Legislature before the University could be located here, this impecunious do-nothing y:awned as he asked to know the remainder yet unpledged. He was told, in a casual sort of way, so many thousand dollars.” “Gimme the paper," Applegate «► i drawled. And, without a cent to his name and no earthly prospect of a rich uncle dying, he appended his name against $25,100.00. A witty ne'er-do-well had outwitted Gordius and saved the day for the committee connived at this fulfill ment of legal requirement, sent in the paper to the legislature, and the bricks began to pile up on the campus. Confirmation may be found in the village newspapers, if not in state documents, for the original subscription list can not now be lo cated, though citizens are plentiful who have seen it. For instance, under date of March 1. 1873, the Oregon State Journal of Eugene City prints a list of the subscribers, with this appended item, “The above does not include the Apple gate subscription of $25,100. The required amount will undoubtedly be raised." A 5 lb, box of Star Plug to your manes, Elish Applegate. I dare say you will appreciate it; while twanging the scales on a golden harp. Next in the Series, “WAS IT AT McCLUNG’S ot DUNN’S?” '31- Book Output Lists 8,000 Titles By George Koot Emerald Literary Editor So you're “keeping up” with the I new books ? —What a prodigious j lot of reading you must do! (Have a pair of bifocals and a couple of blinders on the housed i We have just found a reliable tabulation of last year's literary output, and the total number of new titles issued during the past twelve months (1935's January not counted) and it’s somewhere around 6.788! The total number of all books Issued by optimistic American publishers reached well over 3,000, but around 1,400 were new editions of previously published books. And over 1,350 new titles were fiction alone, the brain chil dren of more than 1,300 manu script-minded men and women. —A little staggering, perhaps to think of that much fiction in one year. (And powerfully discour aging to the ‘would-beV and haven’t-yetV when you consider that only a few ever make a sell out.) The avalanche of Anthony (Ad verse. if you must) rolled out of the presses to the tune of 176.100 sell-out to chalk-up with its 300. 000 sale in '33, but for the second year in succession it topped the ‘best seller’ list. Woollcott gave Hilton's "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" a pat on the back and it scored a sell-out better than 100,000 copies and second to' Anthony on the ‘best’ list. Woollcott’s own book, “While Rome Eurns’’ led the non fiction list with an approximate sale of 84,000 during the year. Of the ten best sellers in the fiction field last year, seven au thors are American, two are English, and one is Danish. Six of the ten authors are women— against only three women au thors represented in the “best” list in '33.

I Maybe the dough-heavy college playboy of your father’s time could burn his twenty dollar bills to make a big impression on his latest flame, but its a lot different today. You college students must spend your allowance wisely and make every dollar count. I That is the reason we recommend that you patronize EMERALD advertisers. With out exception they are the merchants of Eugene who keep up with the modern business trends and are prepared to give you the greatest value for every dollar you spend.
