Students Discuss Old A^e
Pension Plan Before
Puldic Group
Intense interest was displayed
by all community organizations be
fore which the members of the
men's public discussion group ap
peared during their expedition to
Portland over the week-end, W. A.
Dahlberg, coach of the group, said
today, evidently much pleased with
the work of his men. The five stu
dents and Dahlberg returned late
Tuesday night.
Mefore over 400 people Frank
Nash, Lee Ellmaker, and Fred
Hammond Sunday night set forth
the old-age pension problem in the
First Congregational church in
Portland. Violent opposition to the
Townsend plan was offered by a
number of leaders in the forum dis- j
cussion that followed, Dahlberg!
said.
Gladstone Hears Men
On Monday Kenneth BeLieu and
Paul Plank discussed county re
alignment in Oregon before an
SERA adult education class in
Gladstone; and Nash, Ellmaker,
and Hammond presented a discus
sion of old age pensions before
approximately 100 members of the
Wheatland community club. Sam
uel Lancaster, who has an honor
ary degree from this University,
gave an illustrated lecture on color
iffects of photography during the
evening.
The program carried out Tues
day night included a discussion of
county re-alignment before the
Aurora community club and of the
pension situation in Jennings Lodge
before an adult educational class.
The enthusiastic response of
every eudience to the problems dis
cussed, Dahlberg credited to the
timeliness of the subjects, the ef
fect on taxes, and the high current
interest shown in the proposed
Townsend plan.
The members of the expedition
spent Monday night with II. S.
LaFollett, peach farmer of Wheat
land. Tuesday morning they had
the novel experience of plucking
oranges for their own breakfast
from an orange tree he grows. It
has 110 organes on it, says Dahl
berg. And they'rs good! Ask the
students. So what, California?

Stehn Leads
Band Concert
At McArthur
Group Presents Number
Of Irish Melodies
Sunday at 3
The University student body
band, under the direction of John
Id. Stehn, will play in concert at
McArthur Court this Sunday after
noon at 3 o'clock.
"Irlandia” by George Drumm, is
one of the numbers to be present
ed. It is a selection which has
caught the very essence of that
“bit of heaven Ireland which the
angels lost and found again, float
ing on tlie surface of the sea.” It
was so beautiful that they gather
ed stars to decorate it with and
left it “where it lay.” A very pretty
legend, told in music, this selec
tion has all the delicately frail ele
ments of the story, but also com
bines the ruggedly beautiful effects
achieved by magnificent brass
chords, the full volume of tubas,
trombones, and baritones.
Wayne Gilfry, baritone player,
ic featured in the number, “Believe
Me (f All Those Endearing Young
Charms.”
Later in the number, the solo
trumDets have “Come Back to
Erin,” accompanied by the band.
This number is one which gives ar.
opportunity for ttie cornet soloists.
In the finale, it seems as though
George Drumm has caught all the
j turbulent Irish life, its roarine
: seas, the majesty of its mountains,
| in a blending of volume and sweet
| ness which defies description but
, which lingers in the memory pleas
I antly and unforgettably.

Of Y Organization
Activities in Many Fields
Sponsored by Group
Why is there a Y.M.C.A. organ
ization on this campus? Gene
Stromberg, Y secretary, has re
cently published a statement of its
purpose on the bulletin board in
the Y hut.
The purpose of the University of
Oregon Y.M.C.A. is to provide a
fellowship of students and faculty j
who desire to discover for them
selves the highest ideals of Chris
tian living and service. The Y is
attempting to make these ideals
operative on this campus and
throughout tlie world.
To realize this general purpose
the Y.M.C.A. sponsors student ac
I tivities in various fields. Those
formed to foster the development
j of a religious faith for today are
| the student Christian council; dis
I cussions with local ministers; talks '
hy Dr. Bruce Curry of New York,
in April; and the publication, the
I Ir.tercollegian, of which Charlie
Paddock is regional editor.
In the interests of developing in
jUrnational mindedness and a
peaceful world society, is the
: World Fellowship organization led
| by Alfred Fajardo. With this spirit
in mind, the Y hut is open to all.
Instead of developing a moral
| code full of "don't’s” and other ta-!
boos, the Y.M.C.A. fosters a posi
tive standard. Manifestations of
this are the Dill Pickle-Question
mark luncheon club and the Inter
collegian.
The Y has a concern about mod
I ern social issues. The opening of
the Y hut for political discussion,
faculty-student retreats, and the
World Fellowship club demonstrate
1 that fact.
Other activities created to real
ize the general purpose are: Fire
! side forums, which will be held in
| the men's living organizations
February 20, March 5, and March
12; and the sending of delegates
to the Seabeck conference in Wash
ington.
Anyone interested in any of these
activities may see Gene Stromberg
in the Y hut, local 241.

Writer Claims News Victory;
English Reported'Die-hards’
By Howard Kessler
Emerald 1 oroign Correspondent
LONDON '(Special) — Since
landing at Liverpool I have been
literally fighting my way through
England, trying to convince John
Bull that his newspapers are, to
say the least, terrible: but my vic
tories have been only moral ones.
These British are incredibly loyal
I got in with a few commercial
travelers at the hotel here in
Southampton, and since none of us
were prejudiced against talking, we
discussed many things until I led
the subject around to newspapers
with my usual skill, and with my
usual tact I told them their papers
were lousy.
The battle waxing hot I climbed
out of my trench for a few min
utes and went for an American pa
per, the New York Times, as it
happened. Triumphantly, I spread
out a London sheet alongside and
pointed to one of its tophead stor
ies. It read:
MAN WITH
A WRIT
“He Cannot Do This,”
She Cries
THE HATCHET
Jury Ponders
“Simple!” I cried. “As simple,
as logical and as understandable
as a page of Sanskrit is to an Af
rican native!”
“Man, man!” my opposition
shouted me down. “What can
there be about that you don’t un
derstand ? Why it’s as plain as
the face on your nose!”
“Just . . . what . . . does ... it
. . . mean?” I say grimly, pressing
in for the kill.
"Just what it says,” is the im
mediate answ'er.
“And just what does it say?” I
pounce, a gleam of triumph show
ing in my glass eye.
“Just what it means of course,”
is the stunning rejoinder. “How
any chap can ...”
But I can take it. “Now look
at our papers," I insist. “Every
thing absolutely clear there. The
principal elements in every story
at the top, a noun and verb in ev
ery heading, all mental questions
answered immediately, authority
for every statement ...”
At this point, when I’m going
great, I see puzzled frowns on the
brow’s of my opponents. They
aren’t listening to me but are
peering at the Times, and looking
at each other inquisitively.
"Look here,” says one. “Here’s
a mistake and a bad one.”
Impossible of course, but I look,
and follow his finger.
STUDENT INVOLVED
IN TULSA MURDER
CASE SHOOTS SELF
“Well?” I ask. “What’s wrong
with that?”
“There should be a full stop af
ter ‘Murder’ of course. Now, re
gardless of what you say, our pa
pers are always grammatical.”
1 don't bother to explain, seeing
the futility of it, but close my case
bombastically. "Grammar! It’s
terrible! I can show you in your
papers sentences that have no
verbs and no nouns, clipped to tel
egraphic style. We should never
get past the copy desk with a story
like that. Parts of your pages are
left blank, the advertisements and
announcements telling about Mrs.
Brown giving birth to a son Adol
phus who is doing well and would
Father please put the cat out while
she is in the hospital, and you
ser.rch for 15 minutes before you
find any news story, then you read
to the bottom of the story before ,
you find any news.”
"Ah. but we know where to look
for the news.”
* * *
I
So wc barred the gates and went
to bed. It’s absolutely futile try
ing to toll an Englishman he might j
be wrong. People are shocked if
they find you have an idea and
want to do something about it.
Here they have lived for centuries
with the same folkways and will
conceivably continue to do so for
all time to come. To ‘‘do the right1
thing" is far more important tha .
to do the sensible thing, which is j
the principal reason why the Brit-;
ish will rule, the world until
the world changes. In case of
another war. (and it doesn’t
require a great deal of imagin
ation to see one coming) the Eng
l’sh will flock loyally and foolish
ly to the colors, "for King and
country,” just as they have always
done. Count Hermann Keyserling
first said it, and I must agree, “the
v/hole nation, as such, has an un
conquerable prejudice against
thinking.”
Southampton, like all the ports, j
is practically stagnant just now,!
with the blight on international
trade, and the money situation the
way it is. It’s a nice little town,
with the monotonous skyline pe
culiar to English towns, and the
bits of historical buildings thrown
into the cauldron of modern busi
ness, peculiar to European cities.
They have a wall here, dating
from Saxon times, which once en
circled the city. Half of it is still
standing. The Pilgrim Fathers
sailed from here one August day
in 1620, and fathered half the pres
ent population of America. In
1415 Henry V marshalled his army
here for the expedition against
France. While thus engaged he
discovered a conspiracy against
himself and became quite angry.
The Earl of Cambridge and Sir
Thomas Grey lost their heads,
which were placed on public ex
hibition at the Bar Gate for all
young men who wanted to get
hhead. Lord Scrope was subjected
to even greater humiliation. He was
respectfully hanged, drawn and
quartered ... or maybe he was
drawn, quartered and hanged. Any
way Scrope didn’t like it much,
and said if this was the way you
fellows entertained visitors, he fig
ured as how he’d go home. But
ho didn’t. Not in one piece any
how.
That’s about all I know of South
ampton history.

Neuberger Say*
Fight Just Begur
Attacks Senator Walker’s
Stand on Payments
Dick Neuberger, law student a'
the University, when informed tha
the state senate had voted to re
es tablish compulsory student bod’
fees said that the battle agains
compulsory fees is just started.
"I am sorry that some member:
of the senate felt their position:
sc weak that they had to resort t<
personalities, rather than to at
tempt justification of their posi
tion in levying an unnecessary $1;
fee on all students, many of whorr
are barely struggling through col
lege now.
Comments on Walker
Senator Walker’s statement that
the students themselves want thi:
tee indicates his ignorance of the
situation. Less than half the stu
dents have joined these corpora
tions under the voluntary plan; 1
understand only about 40 per cent
have joined at the state college.
Show Inconsistency
“Perhaps by ‘the students’ Sen
ator Walker refers to the little co
terie of play-boys who spend mon
ey and enjoy long trips and nu
merous social events. And if the
students want this fee, as Senatoi
Walker asserts, why is it neces
sary to make it compulsory? The
bill which the senate passed is
merely a cudgel to club the stu
aents into line and force them t:
pay this abortive levy, whethei
they be rich or poor, cripple oi
healthy.
Action Unjustified
“We are forced to pay $15 an
nually to take care of past debts
of these corporations. Now it will
be $30. How anyone can justify
such action in these times is be
yond me. I don’t believe it can be
justified; that is why the propo
nents of the bill resorted to per
sonalities inster.i of considering
the facts.”

Winters Season
W ith Symphonies
Van Hoogstraten Departs
From Usual Program
Two symphonies will comprise
the program with which the Port
land symphony orchestra will end
'.ts 24th season in the Portland
public auditorium next Monday
light. As a fitting finale to this
season, which has been in some
respects outstanding, Willem van
Boogstraten, conductor of the or
chestra, has elected to depart from
"he usual formula of juxtaposing a
i.agle symphony against a group
or diversified shorter numbers.
The two symphonies selected are
he fourth of Brahms and the
seventh of Beethoven, both of
which are numbered among the
most popular items in the standard
symphonic repertoire. This will be
;he first exclusively Brahms-Beeth
rven program ever offered by the
orchestra for several years, and
will be the first two-symphony pro
gram in the orchestra’s history.
In billing two great symphonies
on the same program van Hoog
straten is making use of a device
of program - building which has
come into great favor in other
parts of the country. The sym
phonies selected, both authentic
masterpieces, are radically differ
ent from one another. The two
pdrts of the program thus stand
in the greatest possible contrast.
Monday’s concert, scheduled for
the public auditorium at 8:30 p. m.
will be the concluding event of the
orchestra’s series of eight former
symphonies.
