Shipwreck Kelly sat on a flagpole for an incredible number of weeks, and some thousands of young boys worshipped him and emulated him by perching in trees for incredible numbers of weeks. Well, omi thing we can lie tpiilo sure of is that those who admire Madame Dionne cannot emulate her by going homo and hav ing quintuplets any old day in (lie week. Following li|» F AST spring a group of four young men, •fay Wilson.

I lie only expense lo these students was that oI the passage across and back. Tliev were guests o! (lie Japaneses tourist bureau and (lie board of tourist industry after their arrival in Japan. -Now representatives from the group of sb students who attended the conference last summer are promoting a similar eon lorenco lor this coming summer. Wiulic W il helm. Jr., ol Wood college in Portland is the chairmen ol the committee working on this project. Here is an intelligent use of the confer cnee met hod. Not only does it give those di reetly concerned a new insight into the daily lives ot others, but it gives t lieui a personal acquaintance with one another which will make directly for more intelligent under standing. It cannot fail to encourage better lee ling between the two peoples. I'o the Japaneses goes I he credit for the lirst concrete advance with the idea. To the representatives who went to Japan last summer goes th(‘ credit for the very important laetor of emit inning the good work which has been begun. OneMan’s Opinion ■ Hy Stivers Vernon_ \ N aggravated politician in Portland lets out ^ *- an awful squawk because Governor Martin put flic kibosh on a pet measure which lie the politician was sponsoring. In a lather of patriotic fervor lie opines that the present chief executive of this state has de signs on the idea of becoming a second Huey Long. Whereupon, the population of this peace oving commonwealth giggles and tells each otliei what they’d do to a Huey who raised Ins head m the Northwest. No matter what oue tlnuks of Governor Mar tin's policies the time is not yet ripe to liken "mm to the senator from Louisiana. In the first place he hasn't the strangle hold on his constituency hat Long lia. Martin does not have as many friends who would die for him uoi as many enemies who would cut his throat if the oppor tunity arose. And the governor ha . not yet . er d su; ativu of sticking an c„.:iuti-. finger into ihe University a private and particular little pie. Not that he won’t he probably will have to in some way or other before his term is up. If he can work around the chancellorship issue for the period of his term in the state hoiIs'\ ae is a better side-stepper than we think he is. Then too, there is the matter of the body guard. No public character in these United States Tas reached the proportions of a public menace jr a public benefactor until he has to have a oodyguard. As long as the Kingfish could walk .he streets of New Orleans or Baton Rouge un ittended, he was practically a nobody. It was tnly when enough people began to hate him so nuch that he was in danger of bodily harm jnless protected, that he became a top-holer in he national picture. And, by tin. w ly, Brother Long may have permitted his bodyguard isn’t his name Joe Messina?—to beat up one too many newspaper men, The fracas at the Baton Rouge depot the other day, in which Messina practically scrambled an AP cameraman, left a fearful taste in the col lective mouth of the nation's news dispensers. In a convention of a national news-writers guild in New Jersey about this time, a resolution was passed condemning Huey’s action and threatening to turn the power of the press against him. Now if you think this is an idle threat just witness a couple of things this aforementioned power has done in the past few months. In the first place there is the case of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. He has constantly been referred to in press dispatches as “the stolid machine-gun ner,” or some other appelation which does any thing but promote in the breast of the reader a friendly feeling for the Teuton. The press tried Hauptmann and found him guilty long before the courts took up the issue. Or the case of Huey himself. The papers have devoted countless thousands of words to his mad escapades. These words may not always have been in strictest accord with his maneuvers but at least they played them up in a manner that was excellent publicity. The press, as a whole, has dealt favorably with Huey largely, perhaps, be cause he was picturesque and he was “news.” Now then, suppose they swing to the other extreme. Suppose the scribes malign him with such phrases as they tied to Hauptmann or per haps ignore him altogether. What will happen to Lhe Kingfish? Just this: He will fade from the national picture as quickly as he appeared and run back to the bayous of his home state where iie belongs. So don’t worry about Governor Martin. Our guess is thal he is dangerous to no established order not until lie gets a bodyguard. Moods have recently played havoc in southern ( aliloruia. The l,os Angeles eliamb er ol eonnueree will probably capilali/.e on this by sending the information io residents of llie dt'oiilh area.

The Passing Show THE RKiHT OF DISCI SSION \ MOVEMENT to “purge” American colleges of Communists, “sup-headed college boys and unbalanced professors," is gaining momentum throughout the nation. Syracuse, Columbia, Wis consin, California, Chicago, Harvard, and other universities have been "exposed" as "hotbeds of radicalism," and il is expected that others will be attacked in the near future. Started and vigorously pushed by the Hearst newspapers, the movement seems to be founded on motives much deeper and more obscure than the mere increase of circulation of the newspapers involved. II is militant, strategically planned, and ruthless. The despicable methods used by Hearst men to collect the material for the Red scare news , stories and editorials are exemplified by the “ex | posure" of Communism at Syracuse University. A young man, giving his name as Richard j Smith, called on Prof. John N. Washburn, of Syracuse, said that he wished to enter the uni sian experiment, and asked that liberal professors be recommended. The young man was a reporter | on the Hearst Syracuse Journal. Professor Wash ! burne's remarks, both at the first interview and at a Uim.li the next day where Smith and another I Journal reporter represented themselves as violent j revolutionaries, were splashed all over the front ! page of the Journal with distortions and misrepre sentations. as an exposure of insidious Communist agitation in Spraeuse University. The same tactics were unsuccessfully attempted j at Columbia University. The cry was taken up by other Hearst papers. Senator Hamilton Fish added his voice making charges against several other schools and editorials demanded "What do you [ propose to do about it ?" The campaign has met with some organized opposition, not because the opposing groups and individuals are in sympathy with Rod agitators, but because they believe in the right of every man to state his opinions, and recognize tHo danger of submitting to such Faseistic movements as Hearst is conducting A group of eminent teachers is attempting to bring Mr. Hearst's methods out into the open, and threatens to boycott his news papers. Conferences of professors of journalism and of college editors have passed resolutions op posing any interference with academic freedom, and condemnation of Heaist's policies and tactics has been general and vigorous m the collegiate press. American students, whether they are in sym pathy with radicalism, or ltiieiisely opposed to it. should seize every opportunity to uefend then right of discu: iou ag iin-t campaign:, which are ■! r ‘uou;;1’ 1 - T 1 • > i.ir,; f "f tie.

Frank, chief counsel for the AAA has led to various predictions as to the fate of other noted lib eials. Among newshawks this ten : oency has been strengthened by | Secretary Wallace’s firm stand ' behind Chester Davis, AAA admin i istrator in the purge, and the fur | ther announcement that famed liberal Rexford Guy Tugwell, un i dersecret.ary of agriculture, vaca tioning in Florida, was not consult j cu on the ouster proceedings. De | partment officials admitted that | this failure to consult the under j secretary was unusual. Is Mr. Tugwell Safe? In the same breath, however they assert (through the voice of ; the secretary i that no attempt was ! being made in the direction of Mr. ! Tugwell’s power, Mr. Tugwell and Mr. Frank were not. only good i friends but were hi very close ac cord as to matters of policy, so many astute journalists are in clined to take the department's re marks cum grano sal is. Militant Mr. Jackson Others who were asked to re sign received a great many gra tuitous compliments but neverthe less got the sack. Mr. Jackson, consumer’s assistant counsel, alone refused to hand in his resignation and intimated- that he may fight the issue; he is noted as one of the most aggressive and devoted liberals on the AAA. His chief, Dr. Frederick Howe, chief consumers counsel was likewise deprived of his job, but given another in what Mr. Davis termed the “interests of harmony and operating efficiency.' New Job for Frank? As we. predicted Mr. Frank will in all probability be offered a post in another part of the administra tion, or so sources close to the president have intimated; his val ue is too apparent to be overlooked unless he chooses, as he has con ceded as possible, that he would lather return to his private law practice. The Uherals Doomed? It will, at any rate, be a subject of a great deal of interest in the next few months to see whether handsome Rex Tugwell’s star re mains on the ascendant. If he loses the administration’s favor at this point, liberals cannot but take it as a premonition of their ruin in the present administration, an event which many of the more far sighted fear to be imminent. The Curious The Curious Cub went a-inter viewing last night and although he didn't climb on her knee, he did in terview Miss Mary Finley Graham, i the Emerald society editor and secretary to Bill Phipps, j Mary, in case you don’t know it, it about five feet eleven, Blonde, nice to the people who contact her and highly efficient. In her lap rest the destinies of many a gown and social custom. She was born? Yes, most cer tainly in Junta ra, Oregon, on September 11, 1916, which she un blushingly admitted, makes her precisely 19 years of age (or very close, anyway). Hobbies ? Swimming, golf, read ing and the one she gets the big gest kick out of is driving a car. Mary thinks coeds are “a little pseudo-sophisticated for their own good," which should help answer one of the questions the men have been trying to figure out. The Uni versity is a grand place and Mary feels that two years are essential to any man or woman, not only for the expert training, but for the contacts in real walks of life with teal people but, she says, it's not, In her opinion essential to success (whatever that is). She admitted coyly. "And Cubby, I have a vicious temper." Where upon the Cub departed but not be fore he discovered she is not su perstitious but won't take exams on Friday the thirteenth (if it can be helped), is fond of music and plays the piano for her own en joyment: has as her ambition tire desire to sit behind the society desk of a metropolitan daily give eiders, and go to parties: her pet date is tall, dark, and brainy but they're hard to find. Also another like the Ouija board. "Ihd you ever tell one to go to bell?" she asked. "They never work after that." The Cub never hud (worked or toldi so the inter view was closed • • Q'J tin.

I The Vicious Cycle fRight Behind’ Women’s Editor Editor, the Emerald: I think all this fuss about the men vs. the women is just too amusing. I get the biggest laugh cut of the men saying they are so smart when everybody knows any smart girl can lead any one of them by the nose. Well, if they think they are as smart as all that why don't they show it when they take us out ? I haven't seen a man on the Ore gon campus who doesn't talk about anything except how good he is and how he was a star athlete in high school and all that. And if they think any smart girl is going to swallow all that they are entire !v mistaken. We won’t do it. What I mean is, a girl wants something more in a man than just a hand some face and a line you can catch a fish on. That is, I mean a smart girl. I think the editor (or is it edit ress?) of the women’s page is per fectly right about most of the things she says. If Mr. J. A. N. thinks cosmetics and things like that are bad, why doesn’t he look around at every other campus on the country ? • Maybe he doesn’t like them, either. I want to say that I am right behind the editress? of the wo man’s page and I hope she keeps it up. CHARLOTTE McGILL. J. <4.IV. Comes Back Editor, the Emerald: Just a word to the people who read the first four paragraphs only of my letter of approximate ly a week ago; namely, ’’Jean Mon tesano” and the editor of the wo man’s page. "Montesano" his identity has been revealed to me- has displayed his usual failing of not being thor ough in his reading. He says, “in one corner Marge Petsch, and in the other J. A. N.” He is quite wrong. J. A. N. is in Marge Petsch’s corner and backing her up. Montesano will note that if he reads my whole letter. The women's page editor calls me an "antagonist.’’ and says no point is sufficiently advanced for her to grasp my meaning. Per haps I should use words of one syllable. Therefore the translation of the last paragraph of my letter is as follows: I concede that the girls are right in their squawk and that it is the task of the men to bestir themselves to remedy their ways so that the girls will no longer have any interesting subjects upon which to write for the women’s page.

Dunn- -- Our First President Elect Chose OSC As George Washington was not the first president of the United States taut was preceded by a pro tempore President whom history should therefore capitalize, there are probably not a half-dozen al umni who know that John W. Johnson was not the first choice of the Board, when they"' met in executive session on April 8, 1876. The latter was tendered the chair in Mathematics, which again is a matter of surprise, for Professor Johnson can not be dissevered in our memories from a mo, amas, amat. Greek and Latin were of fered to President B. L Arnold of Corvallis College, which was still operating under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. It is not difficult to diagnose the attitude of the Board in the selection of a President, J. W. Johnson was at the time Principal of the Portland High School, the only one then existing in the State, although there were numerous academies. The Board may have felt that the new University should have at its head a man of greater titular prominence and experience and that the Principalship of a High Schooi, irrespective of the incumbent's eligibility and profi ciency, did not provide a glamor ous enough background. How greatly were they subsequently disarmed of any thought to derate Johnson, once he was installed as President! The man upon whom the choice of the Board fell was profusely decorated with degrees, widely ex perienced in administrative posi tions, and withal, most happily known throughout the State, Dr. Thomas M. Gatch. He had once before been President of Wiliam ette University and now, after an interim in California and as Prin cipal of Portland Academy, was a second time occupying the Presi dency at Willamette. Much that was transacted at this meeting of the Board was either proleptic or later annulled. Prof. Arnold failed of re-election at a later session, though he was subsequently offered a Professor ship. As for the Presidency, Thom as Gatch may not have been in trigued with the prospect of ex changing a long established insti tution, situated in the Capitol City, for one hardly as yet born, and lo cated in a village with no future in sight. No communication is on record. He may not even have been apprised of his election, for subsequent minutes apparently start all over again. At least Thomas Gatch continued at Willamette and Professor Johnson's election to the Presidency of the University of Oregon was consum mated in time for him to issue an attractive little bulletin over his signature and to open the Univer sity in the fall of 1876. But in the University’s fourth year, Thomas Gatch resigned the Presidency of Willamette to accept (Please turn to page four) Answers (l) Salem hi. ('*) One who can't resist a I strong drink.
