Collegiate Stupidity QNIA' .“>(). 17 percent of college students in 115 colleges in 1 lie I'nited States believe I £5* I'11it<■ <I States should enter the league ol nwfums. jSi'Phat is the verdict, according to tin; sSSii-l’ina I returns in the collegiate peace Ii|ffl being conducted hv the Association "I (Siege Hditors in coopera! ion with the literary Digest. •JhXfter the harangues of Louisiana Sen afisr Long. fat her Coughlin and California Senator •lolinsoii were combined with the campaign of the Hears! newspapers against tSe entry of the I'nited Stales into the trtfrld court, it was not surprising that the sS&Jile rejected the proposition. yj'Tlie senators are responsible to the great iifB-Ks of voters and Hie flood of telegrams tjjgv received in response to the pleas ol Messrs, Long, Coughlin, .Johmseu and Hears! cgiild naturally he interpreted as affecting tlnnr votes. ««Jl. iii surprise, however, that only 50.11 pfTcent of American undergraduates favor American participation in the league. Col legiate opinion should express much the same ideas as those fostered by informed opinion. College students are subjected to informed opinion all through their years in school. Informed opinion is almost univer sally in favor of I lie I'nited Slates' cut ry into 1 lie league. Oregon students, in a Hniversitv more liberal than most, tire almost evenly divided upon the league issues even after exposure to informed opinion. We are led to the conclusion that college students want peace, hut are not interested enough in public affairs to assimilate the opinions of those who are informed. Sublimation of Traditions LRKADY plans arc well mnlcr way fur year's .junior weekend. The di.ree lorate has been appointed and the campus buzzes with the appointment id' committees and subcommittees. It is a far famed occasion, this junior ■weekend with its canoe fete, its campus luncheon, its junior ipieen. and its prom. It is one of tlie things for which only the I ni versity of Oregon is noted. Oregon's junior weekend is what we would call the ideal of traditions. It might, indeed, be termed a sublimation id' tradi lions. Campus traditions, if no) from the psych ological. at least from the popular stand point, seem to be instinctive judging from the eagerness of most collage students to enforce them. If it is not an instinct, this passion lor traditions is near enough that the non-psychologists may imagine it so. I'Yom this standpoint, thou. Oregon's junior weekend is a sublimation id' the tradi tional instincts. Tor it lifts to a high plane 1 ol education and entertainment the same spirit and thrill which college students get from a general observance of traditions. Kmphasis of such glorious traditions as junior weekend even overshadow the tunic tits ot other customs. Memories id* ihe taneilul scenes of the canoe fete drifting down tlie mill race to dreamy music - mem ories of the ipieen's coronation after a harshly contested election- themorics of the lines ot loyal Oregon students gulping piiueh and lud meat sandwiches at the cam pus luncheon - will not these be tin- finest possible campus traditions tu relate in after years, when someone-asks *'Tdl me ulrtmi when you were in college?” “T_T AITTMAXN to burn” blared tin press. And so, at its close is one of tin- most lasting and over-publicized press stories since tin war. All over rlu- nation newspapers I'octr-cd the spe w '• on the Hi or.' carpenter a flemin^tou, N. J. Ai'-airwliile city council Hauptmann l.ravrs l >• I meetings, ami great discoveries were shunted I to a hack page. A dirigible had lb dive into the Pacific ocean to push Hauptmann off the banner lines. r For months miles and miles of newspaper •'olumns lon e carried ihe ihinntK amt sordid facts of the Lindbergh ease. Back Jo routine * work, waiting for the next big news break, have gone the ace newsjiounds of the nation. They did a good job covering the trial. But they made it too much of a good thing—-not because they particularly wanted to, hut because their city editors demanded it. Conservative editors of conservative papers played t Ik* trial stories all over their front pages. The American public doted over the developments each day. If one paper did not give full coverage, renders bought copies of a competition paper. Editors had little choice; their papers have to have eirculati >n to get advertising and advertising is tie: bfe blood of tin? news paper. Even in remote west coast cities and smaller towns like Eugene editors had to feat,tire the Hauptmann ease to please their readers’ Inst foe 1 lie details. I he Lindbergh angle made the trial one of the most sensational in history. If the murdered baby Lindbergh had been Farmer •lories' tot from Prairie Center, two inches in the metropolitan sheets would have been enough for even the trial-crazy American public. It will he a relief to see frrtiil pages of the daily press return once more to normalcy. The Passing Show GRADING THE INSTRUCTORS— JNTENDED to be absolutely anonymous, an I therefore having no bearing on the grades given in the course, rating scales for Indiana uni versity faculty members have been distributed on the campus by the Board of Aeons. A rating sheet is to be presented to each member of each in structor’s class. On these sheets the students may grade the quality of the instructor's teach ing. Several characteristics of teachers are listed, defining the quality of an instructor's work. Un der each characteristic, there is a line graduated from 0, very poor, to 100, very good, with des criptive adjectives underneath. Students are asked to make a check at the point on the line which he or she considers most appropriate to the particu lar instructor. Characteristics listed include: Interest in Sub ject, Attitude Toward Students, Fairness in Grad ing, Liberality and Progressiveness, Personal Pe culiarities, Personal Appearance, Stimulation of Intellectual Curiosity, Preparation for Class, Pre sentation of Subject Matter and Organization of the Cour se. A space has been left for definite re marks and suggestions on such points as exam inations, assignments, texts, class discussions and specific mannerisms of the instructor. Although several members of the University faculty have made use of various types of rating systems, this is the first standardized rating scale to appear on the campus. In preparing these scales, members of the Board of Aeons collected those used at other leading institutions and se lected what they considered the most pertinent points from alt those received. They also have asked that those instructors who use them here make suggestions or criticisms. The Board lias performed a valuable service, both to the instructors and to the students of the uni versity, in preparing this scale. The scale pro vides the only channel through which a student may express, and an instructor may learn, the good and defective points in the course itself or the manner in which it is taught. Every progressive instructor on the campus will make use of these rating scales, arid should thereby improve the quality of Iris teaching. In diana Daily Student. I1EAKST WAVES A NEW BANNER npHIO Sage of Sair Simeon has a new ace up his sleeve. Not content with prattling against internationalism, he is now devoting his attention to the eradication of college Communism, which, he proclaims, is growing rapidly through the sub versive teachings of bearded professor s. Mr. Hearst has a perfect right to resent Com munism. but there is sufficient evidence to show that tinder the guise of this "100 percent Amer icanism” he is waging a battle against all dissent ing' opinion. That the methods whereby he at tempted to justify his personal ends at Syracuse and Columbia were promptly exposed and con- j detuned does little credit to Mr. Hearst. It does, I however, honor a group of prominent educators who were determined to see no intrusion of Eas cistie doctrine on the American campus, and justly protested against this effort to stamp out freedom of thought arid expression. Mr. Hearst, apparently, is going to encounter more opposition titan he has anticipated Another professedly “clever move" was to sponsor a Washington meeting of the editors of all college dailies. There they were feted and dined, and then removed to New York to be sub jected to the wisdom of sortie of Mr. Hearst's fore- \ most, satellites. Two Washington newspaper men of recognised enterprise asserted this was just ids way of pouring syrup after a challenging let ter sent him by the Association of College Editors Mr. Hearst imagined, they declared, that such generosity would make immeasurably easier the progress of the "red scare" among the separate colleges. following the conterenre, News-Week el,limed the "Hearst-Youth hatehet buried" us tareical a misstatement as ever appeared in print It eauni't be denied that u few of those present had slightly too niurh regard for Mi Hearts's altruism, and were rudely shocked when he was accused of ul terior motives. Hut the overwhelming; majority came and went in firm opposition to his principles and methods Talks by Hcurst-writers Hiehard Washburn Child and Ha inbridge Colby and in direcl offers to become wavers of the Hearst ban ner did surprisingly little to alter thtup opinion. Crop in the bucket though it may have been, the money which retted from the Hearst urn rot ters to smopthe the surface can be written in the ledger with'red ink Mr Hearst it would seem. !"':v" ' ■ Bit l i f'jiJy l'nuettertian. The Day’s Parade By Parks Hii-ihcoclt l Mr. Bankhead A’sks 7 Pliant Release rpHE author of the Cotton Con trol act has advanced another bill into the senate with an eye to liberating' the small farmer from the press of large competition. Senator Bankhead fhc is Tallu lah’s uncle) Derm, Alabama, has introduced the measure, v/hicli wilt loan government money to small farmers at a rate of probably 4 1-2 per cent interest to enable them to buy the land they are working. In lane With F. D. Mr. Bankhead's plan has been conceived chiefly with his own home region in mind. He esti mates the tenancy percentage in Alabama at. 70 per cent, a ratio which he believes dangerous to the independent citizen. Although the new bill is not directly sponsored by the administration, it will in all probability receive its endorse ment. A Boon to Agriculture It seems, on the whole, a worthy piece of legislature. It will pro vide for loans to any financially capable tenant who is in residence upon the land, to purchase both hi.; acreage and the machinery with which he works it. The whole pro ceeding, of course, from an eco nomic point of view, is essentially sound; the landlord class will be paid with the government money, the same money will be returned to a taxable holder, and in effect (lie power of the capitalistic classes will be greatly lessened in that field where it has done the most damage in the past. Holding Agents Dangerous Although designed to facilitate distribution, the great holding com panies, brokerage houses, and large landowners dealing in commodity products have often greatly hin dered that cause, chiefly because ol' two factors: first, the prime stress placed upon personal profit, and secondly, because of labor dif ficulties and disagreement with the government. Senator Bankhead (and the ad ministration for that matter) is firm in the belief that if the capi talist class’s grip upon agriculture can be effectively broken, a health ier condition will be promoted, both tor the producer, who will be more directly under the control of the government, and the consumer, who will receive his goods at a price that is commensurate with the production cost. It will spell, of course, the death of the middle man, the man who has been get ting the greatest degree of profit in the past, and yet without any useful or reasonable effort.

(Sam Barg er i who has been caretaker of the music building for a long time, is popular and friendly, but, he didn’t want to make statements, either, so the Curious one asked questions of other people and found out many interesting things. John Stehn, addressing the band: “Sam's the best judge of music you mutts will ever play for!” Dr. John H. Landsbury, dean of the school of music: “Sam Barger is the finest man I know. He has a wonderful disposition, is re sourceful, kind, and courteous. I believe if a recital plan called for ihe piano on the roof, Sam would have it up there within five minutes.” Dr. Landsbury also commended Sam for his swift work during the last state music convention when it was necessary to move 200 chairs, reset the stage and do it without noise. “It was Ihe smooth est job I’ve ever seen,” he said, and Dr. Boyer was also so impressed that he wanted to know more about the wizard who handled things so efficiently.

But about one man | there is • a sense of authority,' hullaballoo of Washington. At j present Donald Richberg has as nearly a key position as any mar ! ‘ who ha; entered and left the Wash- j ington scene.

A germinate existence was probably forestalled at the very cutset by OSC's primacy of at least I four certificated years, a handi cap which the University has never j been able to overcome. And the i Nornir have ever since been busily spinning curiously tangled piece of i tapestry, one of them, alas! bran dishing an ugly pair of shears. Faculties and Student-Bodies of these later years are conversant enough with the tribulations en tailed by legislative and sectional ! intrigue. But the farther back we | go into the .story, it is found to : have been an ever present incubus, i a sort of pre-natal curse, the shad j ow of the raven over Poe’s cham ber door. The trail of referendums \ and of campaigns to counteract ! perilous legislation takes us back ! into the babyhood of the two insti ■ tutions. During the mid-eighties, as a sub-Freshman in the University, I was regaled with a strange tale which sounds stranger in the tell ing. Word was current on the Campus that the factors contrel I ling the State Agricultural Col ! lege, as was its formal title at that | period, had tendered to the Re | gents of the University the propo | sition that the two schools be com | bmed at Eugene. Just who in par ticular was responsible for this I proffer, there is now no means of ! determining, in fact it may have i been sub rosa. This was before the state had definitely taken over the College, although the Legisla : turc had, as far back as 1868, tak ! en advantage of the Land Grant | Act of Lincoln’s administration. But there had meanwhile been no 1 sale of the 30,000 acres and there fore no interest to bestow upon the College, in lieu of which some pet ty appropriations had been doled out. Only 97 students were re ported and “hard sledding." The inference that prevailed here on the Campus was that the au thorities of the Methodist Episco pal Church, South, under whose auspices Corvallis College was still somewhat dubiously maintained, and legislators who envisioned a unified system, were willing to submit to legislative enactment in order to unite both the College and University into one super-institu tion. The two schools were scarcely aware of the existence of each other. There was no hint of inter scholastic rivalry at the time. In ter-collegiate sports and all inter change of any sort were far in the future. Therefore the news created no very great excitement, except that, is it was reported in the form of voluntary overture, it was looked upon as salutary. And nat urally the University, as the recip ient of what seemed tantamount to a gift, rejoiced. What came of it ? We waited,— land waited. Long afterwards we heard about as strange a tale, - perhaps I am proving myself as not jail angel in recounting it. but this I is just as it came to my ears as a ' student. It was common gossip \ that our President himself had been largely responsible for the failure of the plan, because of property holdings at Corvallis and in the neighborhood, whose value would decrease if the College were abandoned. In effect, he lobbied against the bill. Confirmation of this early ven ture comes from the Minutes of the Board of Regents of the Uni versity, who, on two several occa sions, Sept. 10, 1880, and Nov. 14, 1884, appointed committees to present articles of unification be fore the Legislature. Meanwhile apparently, the people of Corvallis were aroused for action, for, on March 13, 1885, the Executive Committee of the Regents of the University reported their non suc cess, following the session of the Legislature, when Corvallis was given a period of four years in which to erect a $20,000 building. The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, definitely' abandoned the field, and the State Agricultural College, or S.A.C., became a real fact. Next in the series OUR FIRST JANITOR. Answers (!)

His son, John, a Union sailor in the Civil war became disgusted with the post-war attempts at reconstruc tion of the Republicans, turned to the Democratic party, later be came head of the Chicago school board and married a Vermont school principal, a Randall, de scendant of Governor Carver of Massachusetts. When fifty years old, Mrs. Richberg entered medical school in Chicago. At these hands young Richberg received a liberal education. Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1881, Richberg went to the Uni versity of Chicago, graduated from Harvard law school and entered banking, corporation and insurance law. Disliking the work, he ran for state's attorney in Illinois when 31. The progressive movement of 1P13-14 won him over, and he wrote the( 1916 progressive key note speech. His law practice took on greater significance when in 1926 he single-handed waged legal war against 150 corporation law yers in the country’s greatest rail road valuation case. Hard-hitting, with a store of facts and an easy humor, he beat Insull in many utility rate battles. A member of the law firm of Richberg, Ickes and Richberg, he was co-author of the Railroad Labor act in 1926. A ever a J iolent Radical Novelist, historian, economist, musician, composer, golfer, an ex cellent cook and an able lawyer. Richberg is heavy-set, partly bald, ;hy and naturally modest. Critics have denounced him as conserva tive. Yet he can point to his ac complishments as chief counsel for the railroad brotherhoods as an ex ample of what he has done for la bor. But labor eyes with suspicion his efforts at coordinating the fac tions of NRA into a unit to strengthen the country’s industrial attack on a shattered business life. Richberg has never been a radi cal in the sense of violent change —“Every single right and protec tion the individual has in our so ciety has been created legally. And if can by the same process be mod ified to meet our changing needs . . . There is nothing static in our life.” And here, in his own words, is.' Richberg's political philosophy. —A. C. E. Horizon.
