I A Matter for the Stale Board
^kFTER passage through the house, the
"^■Wheeler hill empowering the state board
of higher education to assess a compulsory
student fee, not to exceed five dollars per
term, is on the desk of Governor Martin
pending his approval.
Only his signature is now needed to
plaee the dispos'd ion of t his EDI UI AT I ON AG
MATTER where it rightly l>clon*rs IN Til 10
HANDS OE THE M EM HERS OF THE
STATE HOARD.
There will he problems which should and
will he met before Ihe fees are levied by
1 liat board.
There must he some provision and plan
made for the poor student whose DROVED
financial circumstances make it impossible
for him to pay the fee.. It is only .jusl that
the many privileges of ASIT0 activities he
made available for those few deserving stu
dents.
There should he segregation of athletic
and lion-athletic activities.
At the moment, however, these are not
issues. They will become issues when this
strictly EDI 0AT1ONAL MATTER is under
the jurisdiction of the stale hoard, whose
task it is to decide EDUCATIONAL MAT
TERN. In future issues the Emerald will
discuss and present its views on these mat
ters.
Knowing Governor Martin's interest in
the welfare of higher education, we can
hope for the greatest expediency in putting
the whole matter with the state board where
the problems can be worked out quickly
and equitably by those men charged with
the responsildlit v of EDt'CATIONAE I’OLI
CES and AI-’FAIRS.
(lominendtible Vigor
JI’XIOIv weekend, one r»l" the greatest ol' all
Oregon traditions, seeius to he ot‘t' to a
good start this year with the early selection
ol' a motif for the canoe fete.
The three-day festival combines Mother’s
day, the prom, an all-campus luncheon, canoe
fete, mothers' banquet, and various sports,
till into one glorious weekend. It is truly the'
one big accession of the year in which stu
dents, alums and mothers can he participants
with equal enjoyment.
The canoe fete, the outstanding at true
lion of the three-day period, will use as its
theme “Melody in Spring." featuring mod
era popular songs as motifs for the float-.
This mill race fit tract ion which originated
at Oregon, Inis gained wide spread recogni
lion and popularity, hast year Taramount
newsreel men were sent here to film the
picturesque water pageant.
The vigor and enthusiasm wit It which the
directorate has taken over Junior weekend
is highly commendable. The I'niversils
should he pleased to see this gu\ festival
expanded find made more enhancing as tic
years roll hv, for it is truly a fine tradition.
Enlightened Student Opinion
M\ KUSIT\ of Oregon students favor
the entrv id' the I 'nit oil States into the
league of nations.
Oregon State college students fire op
posed to I Tide Sum's participation in the
league.
Tinai returns in the l.iterury Digest A».
soviet ion ol t'ollege I'alitOfs peace poll show
I niversiD undergraduates voted: Yes. l«ls:
State collegians cast their votes: Yes,
dot): Xo, 107.
Strange seems the conflict of majority

schools. Both tin luiiversity and Oregon

There is little difference in Mr. and Miss
Average Student at the University and Mr.
and Miss Average Student at Oregon State.
Taken as a group the lives and backgrounds
and intelligence of the University group is
the same as those of the Oregon State group.
That there should be such a discrepancy
in the opinions of the two student bodies in
a matter of national and international af
fairs calls for more than passing notice, par
ticularly when local economic conditions
make for no differences in the political on'
looks of the two student groups.
To us it seems the the Literary Digest’s
analysis of the nationwide vote applies to
the Oregon situation. Says the Digest :
In general, th >se colleges which have well
established reput tions for liberal educational
policies, are the alleges in which a majority
of undergraduates voted in favor of entry
into the league of nations.
The University has long been known as a
great liberal institution. The thorough
sampling done by the Literary Digest
A.U.L. poll puts the I niversify ever further
in the forefront.
It is good to see University students in
terested enough in world affairs to acquaint
themselves with informed opinion.
One Man’s Opinion
--■ Ky Stivers Vmmn
OELIEVE it or not, “One Man” i.s on the spot.
It probably i.s not a matter of life or death,
one way or another, but we feel a moral obliga
tion to either support or dispute the merits of the
compulsory fees bill.
We have, in this connection, been accused of
attempting to indulge in that well known pastime
frequently referred to as "carrying water on
both shoulders.” We will not devote space here
to a rebuttal against such arguments. Our con
cern in the matter is not that of our personal
angle but rather, that of .some disinterested
party. This may sound a bit far-fetched, inas
much as wc are among those who will be affected
by the ruling one way or the other. However, we
feel that the only true answer to a problem which
has as many complexities as does the compulsory
fees bill, will be found through disinterested
parties who will view the matter in a purely
judicial light rather than from the standpoint of
biased judgment or downright ballyhoo.
inir >. anijiun udii
iino find an unbiased and absolutely fair opinion?
We have talked to quite a number of representa
tive students and University officials and find,
besides a considerable divergence of opinion, that
everyone has an angle that will somehow be af
fected by the decision.
Working students are anxious for the bill to
fail in passage for the obvious reason that it will
hit their poeketbook. The class which has more
leisure is interested because passage will provide
a larger number of activities for those spare
hours. Oragnizations are concerned because pas
sage in some instances will provide a wider range
of Appropriation and consequent wider activity.
The Emerald is interested in passage because it
means that the paper will then be continued
whether it shows black figures or red. The same
holds true of the’ Oregana. Student body officials
naturally feel that passage will simplify the prob
lems with which they are faced.
To be quite candid, our sympathies are all
on the side of the working students to whom $1,>
per year is quite an item. But our hard-headed
consideration tells us that this would be a heck
of a University without a daily paper, a year-book
or lecture and concert bookings. To say nothing
of certain athletic activities whicli are not self
supporting.
The whole business impresses us as a mess.
It is obviously not right for students or anyone
else for that matter to be forced to pay for
something they do not want. On the other hand,
it would be most lamentable for certain worth
while activities to fall by the way-side for want
of a few dollars.
So, "One Man" is up a stump. He can see
no plain track which can be definitely stamped
as "the right." The situation is simply another
>ne of those whicli arise out of a vastly involved
educational system. Since we have been unable to
come to a definite solution of the problem, where
by we can take a clear-cut stand, we shall have
lo wait till some plan is evolved whereby un
desirable features of the student body activities
that is, activities which are appealing to a
group smaller Ilian the total membership can be
divorced from the activities for which practically
everyone is willing to pay. Here only, to our mind,
wilt a logical and mutually beneficial solution be
found. Till someone comes forward with a work
able scheme to do this, we and we strongly
suspect most everyone else as well will simply
have to let nature take its course.
The Passing Show
rou Tin-: kihx t . . .
'T'llOSK who circulated the petitions on this
A campus last Friday night which were opposed
to the passage of the bill empowering the state
board of higher education to collect a compulsory
student fee have apparently left the campus. The
campus is also left with a decided distaste for
their tactics, for misrepresentation for the effect
of the thing was rife.
In the first place it was claimed that nearly
a thousand University students had signed the
petitions on the Fugene campus. As news stories
of yesterday indicate, only slightly over three
hundred had signed. Too. it was stated mislead
ingly in the petition that the board was to be
empowered to eolleet i "mandatory Slf> yearly
levy " The bill which has now been passed
through the house after having passed the senate
provides for compulsory collection up to $;> per
term which gives the state board ot higher educa
tion the opportunity to exert its good judgment
iu determining just what amount is necessary to
operate the student program successful!;,

The Day’s
Parade
By Park* Hlfctheock
Mr. Babson on Gold
. nOGEK BABSON, always the
, first to offer his prognostic on
pny step the government may or
! may not take, claims that business
will take a big boom as the result
of the gold clause ruling, a predic
tion which anyone could make of
course. However, Mr. Bauson's
views on the ultimate results of
monetary juggling bear a more
gloomy hue.
A Set-back Predicted
"A day of reckoning will come,”
he warns us with one eye cocked
to the gentlemen of the press. Sta
tistician Babson undoubtedly regis
ters this sotto voice protest with
the view of being one of the "I
told-you-so” critics in case the
predicted doom befalls the govern
ment for its alleged economic mis
step, but if we examine his remarks
1 more thoroughly there seems to be
no definite idea as to just what
kind of calamity will overtake the
; administration.
Immediate Aid Stressed
Babson admits that the chief
value of the devaluation of the gold
content of the dollar comes in the
immediateness of the relief which
it gives to the government, -but his
analogies on the faults of this de
I valuation are somewhat strained.
He compares the administration to
a bookkeeper juggling the ledgers,
who will get away with this ne
farious business for some time but
who will eventually be discovered.
Shaky Reasoning
Critical observers may believe
that the government’s monetary
policy is faulty, but they will have
difficulty in accepting Mr. Bab
son's vague and indefinite explan
ations as to the ultimate result.
Another League
“League for the Promotion of
War” as been organized on the
University of Iowa (sic) campus
with the avowed intent of foster
ing any attempt to establish a fas
cist government in the United
♦States. The sanguine members of
this organization have chosen no
less a person than Huey Long to
act as their honorary president.
If one did not suspect that the
“league” was organized more out
of personal spite and in opposition
to pacifist leagues on that cam
pus, there might be cause for some
little alarm. The ludicrous title of
this organization, however, coupled
with its obviously repugnant ideals
will in all probability do little more
than to injure the cause for which
this body stands. At any rate, it is
to be hoped that this will be the re
sult.

Hitchcock’s Blast

Editor, the Emerald:
In the midst of anti-Neuberge
and pro-Neuberger mud-slinginj
campaigns it was refreshing to sei
Jonathan Swift Hitchcock's de

methods Mr. Neuberger has beei

friends and a publicity-seeking, op
portunistic politician according ti
his enemies.
Mr. Neuberger’s motives ii
crusading for optional A.S.U.O
fees can be questioned, but the re
suits of his really fine work can
not. (It is a well-known fact tha
Dr. Clarence Spears, former Ore
gon football coach, and Mr. Neu
berger were close friends. If Spear:
had remained, would Neubergei
have conducted a campaign tha

athletic program ? ) Whatever Mr
Neuberger’s motives are, it is un
deniably true that a considerabh
number of needy students cai
thank Neuberger and Neuberge;
alone for a saving of $5.00 pe:

Guard, has pointed out, it is no
“all Neuberger" but a question o
several hundred students who cai
ill-afford to pay A.S.U.O. fees.
While the Emerald's jibes a

for its reaction to Mr. Tugman':
