The Bailie Flames Anew
n A ('AI)KM1C freedom does not appear to
■ thrive in the shadows of a ‘cathedral
of learning,’ ” dryly observed Professor Col
ston H. Warne of Amhcist <*<» 11<*{<(* the other
day. 11 is remark was a jibe at the condition
of scholarship in 11n* halls that duster
around the base of the forty-storied (lolhie
lower that stabs the skv above the rumpus
of the University of Pittsburgh.
Pitt is in the teeth of a row in which
professorial protestants against the shack
ling of campus 1 bought have raised their
gowns to kick the mud of “vulgar, abusive
slanders’’ on the more imperial togas of the
college administration, much to the apop
lexion of the very worthy scholars ^lio com
pose the Pittsburg chamber of commerce.
'Pile issue of academic freedom in that
eastern province—where three centuries ago
William Penn proclaimed the tolerance for
■which history justly acclaims him —was
sprung by the dismissal of a liberal instruc- ;
tor.
From const In coast now the Italtle lor
liberty of academic 11 ionirht and expression
flames, but it hasn't. struck the. I'niversity
of Oregon yet and we might hope that it
never will, -were that not a futile optimism.
It is the inevitable accompaniment of in
evitable change that new ways should be.
resisted by those who have u stake in the
old order. Academic freedom at this institu
tion was tentatively challenged by a candi
date for governor last fall who threatened:
“If 1 find a man on the staff who is‘red’ In
is going to get out!" But as a vote-getting
gesture his threat fell flat. It was premature. .
The present order of government in Oregon !
does not yet feel itself challenged danger- I
onsly by youthful thought.
It is an axiom from political history that
institutions take form by a process that can
be described no better limn by the word "in
evitability, and wln-n institutions fail, when
the world lias swept oil to a place where
the older order can no longer cope with
events, it is not a mat ter of willing 1 lie thing ;
it is inevitable that social arrangements take
a useful form
When problems begin to grow faster than
tile social harness can be altered to fit them,
then will In- the time that free academic
thought will he dangerous to old institutions,
and the withering old order will make
frantic efforts to maintain itself.
But, when that time comes, all reaction
ary efforts w ill he like dykes of matehstieks
against the thing which will move as inex
oraldy as a glacier.
Perhaps it is because ol our belief that
the time hasn’t come that we see little reason
for adherents to old institutions to fear free
thought at the I’nivcrsity of Oregon. That
being tile ease, how do w e account for the
“ red scares’' in other states? A re they jump
ing the gnu, or have we read things wrong I
and the old order is crumbling?
“Sister Aiinec” Again
rT'ilK most amusing bit of news that luis
crossed iIn- salty blue of the Pacific for
some days is the report that Aimec Scuiplc
McPherson. Los. Angeles, evangelist, is mak
ing a big hit with her revival meetings in
China.
A recent service given in Shanghai I»\
‘‘Sister Aimec' was the prelude to a four
day campaign in which she hoped to win
many converts to her “four-square gospel.”
it was something unique in Shanghai relig
ious history due to various features such as
applause inspired front the platform, and the
anti-climax provided in the midst of the
dosing prayer by the detonation of a photog
raphers flashlight, wl)ich disconcerted the
audience.
After the service tile evangelist visited
several Shanghai cabarets conversing with
those in charge, and also with the White
Russian dancing hostesses, inviting all to at
tend her revival meetings.
For years Mrs. McPherson was one of the
leading shows in Los Angeles. Her many
court appearances, however, caused her
prestige to suffer a serious decline. One of
the most laughable incidents attributed to
the evangelist occured at the time of her
abdication from the southern temple about
two years ago. “Sister Aimee,” (then Mrs.
Hutton) had procured tickels for passage
on a slow boat for about a year's cruise to
the Holy Land. Being too ilL to hoard the
boat otherwise, she was carried to the ship
on a cot. She had been able however, a few
hours before, : , appear at the temple to
receive “an offering” which was taken up
by the faithful for the purpose of helping
pay the expenses of her trip.
From what America can recall of the
antics of Aimee Semple McPherson, it is
sure the peoples of 1he Orient have a great
show in store for them.

poOR old Germany. She has surely cut her «
own throat as far as the tourist business is
concerned. Just when everybody was disgusted
with France and ready to turn elsewhere for
divertisement too. It really is a shame. t
Of course, the fact that Germany will be
very unpopular with the tourists in general, does
not mean that social minded people will not jour
ney there to study problems that have arisen
under Hitler. Take college students, for instance.
Perhaps they will be keener than ever on going
to Germany. There is the added spice of the pos
sibility of being thrown in jail for mentioning
something derogator y to Hitler. Or something like
that.
Wouldn't it be a swell story to tell the lads
and lassies back in Cornbelt college? A few
nights in jail and then deportation back home.
The truth is probably somewhere between the
two extremes of human nature. One wouldn’t
think of going to Germany under the present
conditions; the other wouldn't think of not going.
And there you are.
Travel bureaus estimate that the recent acts
of Hitler’s cohorts irr apprehending and in some
cases removing the heads from alleged spies,
will cost the German shop-keepers and business
men many mililons of marks. There will no doubt
be a considerable influx of those who wish to
study the sowial and economic structure of the
Nazi rule but these will not go far toward making
up for the vast tourist thousands who spend their
money so very freely.
We noticed some remarks on the subject a
few months ago. A. writer pointed out that France
immediately turned a cold shoulder to those
Americans who came to Paris without money in
their pockets and groveled before those who had
sheckels. Britain, it was noted, didn’t much care
whether Americans came to visit her shores or
not. The money was a small consideration either
way. Germany, however, always had the latch
string opt to all comers, moneyed or otherwise.
That s why Germany was a favorite country for
visits from the middle-class American.
Now all that is changed. France looks with
scorn on the American for the Yankees are no
longer the spend-thrifts they were. Britain still
iloesn t give a hoot. But Germany she would
dearly love to have visitors from America but has
gone about attracting them in such a left-handed
manner that she will receive little or no benefit,
fiom the tourist trade. And all because someone
insists on jailing everybody who says he doesn’t
like Hitler.

*<|T is not too much to say that the University
ol Wisconsin occupies a position entirely
unique, not only in this country, but in the world,
us an institution which has come nearest to recog
nizing tiie ideals of using the instrumentalities
ol higher education for rendering the greatest
possible service to the country.’’ This was the
idea expressed by Theodore Roosevelt some years
ago when In' was president.
Today Theodore Roosevelt would find that
many universities have written this purpose into
their educational systems.
At the present time Wisconsin has a new un
employment insurance law, setting up reserves
to he used as benefits. This law was evolved by
University of Wisconsin professors; it was intro
duced in the legislature by a faculty member and
it is now being drafted by the Industrial commis
sion from the university.
The University of Illinois has contributed simi
lar services to the citizens of the state through its
scientific research and scholarly investigations for
the discovery of new facts to advance and pro
mote public welfare.
One authority declares that “Enough wealth
has been realized by the state of Illinois alone
from the results and teachings of the University’s
agricultural investigations to cover, many times
over, the cost of the entire University."
The College of Agriculture is working on 3f>0
major and minor ptoblems and experiments. This
work began 27 years ago with a general survey
which covered the 1-1 great soil areas of the state
and which gave an invoice of the stock of fertility
m 35 of the main types of soil in those li areas.
In fact the University's research, which cov
ers practically the whole field of human endeavor,
has produced results which touch the lives of al
most every poison, although usually not realized
by them.
The revised building codes now being adopted
in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and other
cities, governing the safety and proper design of
structures worth many million dollars, depend in
a large number of details upon the work of the
University research staff m this particular field.
Kor tins reason the contributions of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin to the welfare of the slate
are not unique, but represent the general trend
and aims of many universities, of which the Um

1 Anti-ISazi Sentiment
From Austria
A FTER some little dickering with
Etienne Flandin’s foreign min
ister, M. Pierre Laval, the Aus
trian government has gained the
aid of the French, ever ready to
pull the Nazi’s bear’d, to secure
Austria's autonomy.
Defiant Vienna
On the heels of this important
announcement Chancellor Schus
nigg has issued a defiance couched
i’i no uncer tain terms against any
German invasion of Austria n
rights. Spokesman for this latest
Austrian defiance was Baton Egon
Berger-Waldenegg, Austrian for
eign minister who is now in Eng
land to ask a similai- guarantee
I from smart old Sir John Simon,
Britain’s foreign minister.
.Minister’s Statement
Said Emissary Bcrger-Walden
egg: "Cordial Austrian relations
toward Germany are possible only
v. hen those responsible for Ger
i many’s destiny renounce once and
for all all claims on Austria." Most
newshawks saw this as an outright,
and crushing blow to any plans of
"anchluss” or union between the
two central European states.
Is Schlusnigg Secure?
The point, however, on which the
ultimate success of such a move
ment rests is the security of the
{.resent government in Austria. If
either Kurt Schusnigg's ministry
should topple or "those responsible
; for Germany’s destiny” should go
| out of power, Baron Berger-Wal
i denegg'3 statement might conceiv
| ably be annulled. It remains to be
seen how the Austrian populace re
ceives this definite anti-Nazi dec
laration; a declaration that Schus
nigg is no doubt sure that the
avowed support of France and
Italy and the tacit approval of
England will bolster.
A Split Possible
However, as past difficulties in
Austria have so thoroughly shown,
that nation is hardly a house un
divided. If the present policy is
mistrusted by very many people,
the socialist bloc, exceedingly
strong in Austria, may possibly
align itself with the strong Nazi
forces in an effort to seek a com
promise government which would
look more favorably on Reich
fuehrer Hitler and his Aryan so
ciety.
The true heart of the situation
then, lies not in what Chancellor
Schusnigg’s foreign minister has to
say, but rather in the Austrian re
action to this administration and
its foreign policy.

The Curious
Cub
“Worthwhile people in a nice way.”
Young Bruin is both proud and
honored to present to his readers
-GEORGE TELTOFT, who has
done more in the past three and a
half years as a stranger in a de
pression-ridden country than most
of us who smugly flatter ourselves
on being native citizens.
George was born November 23,
1913, in Russia. He took his ele
mentary and high school work in
Manchuria, where his father has
the agency for Firestone tires and
Studebaker’ and Auburn cars.
He took English in Manchuria in
much the same way that we are
prone to take French and allied
languages here. George said that
his English was of very little value
|to him when he came to this
country.
In three and a half years, George
has traveled over the entire United
States, has held positions all the
way from newsboy in Oakland, to
window-dressing work. “Almost
from the top to the bottom,” he
said. He is and has been, since his
arrival here, 100 per cent self-sup
porting and is putting himself
through the University. He feels
that this is a “Good University,”
and when asked whether he felt he
is benefitting from work here or
not, he replied: “I wouldn’t be here
if I didn’t feel that I were.”
George speaks perfect English
anu is popular with all those who
know him. He does not in any way
attempt to aggrandise himself and
takes his travels, which to most
Oregonians are only dreamed of,
as a matter of course.
The United Spates ? “I feel that
it is a very advanced country,
mechanically.” As to sports,
George likes ping-pong and tennis.
Monday, he defeated his last op
ponent to take the all-campus
championship. His favorite reading
is in the field of the historical
novels.
George is a business ad major

Wiley and His
Mule-Car
In the latest eighties, Messrs.
Holden and Sons, late from Texas,
electrified Eugene with a mule
car, the mule from Texas also, and
his driver from thereabouts. I have
forgotten the mule's name,—prob
ably "Rose of the Rio Grande,"
(though I may be mixing my gen
ders), but Wiley Griffin, the col
ored driver, has already gone down
in history, somewhere.
The franchise was rather por
tentous at first, involving a track
from the Southern Pacific Station
southward on Willamette to Elev
enth, where there were two branch
es, one continuing south to some
where near 19th; and the other
turning eastward on 11th, to the
University. I have a vague mem
ory that only the latter line was
kept up,—with the one mule sur
viving.
The car barns were in a frame
building, now supplanted by mod
ern structures, south of the alley
on the west side of Willamette be
tween Broadway and Tenth. The
Holdens lived up over the cars and
the mules.
But the driver! Aside from char
acteristics, he was a character, a
and when the Curious One asked
him about his future, he said that
there are so many opportunities,
he does not know what goal to
work toward.
“1 have an opportunity for a
good job in Russia; I may decide to
stay in the United States, or I may
go back to Manchuria and work
with my father; I don't know yet.”
Geoige is a darned human indi
vidual and a wicked bridge oppon

He was Amos and Andy and Light

he had been the King Fish of some
Older, for he showed me a pho
tograph of himself all decked out
ir. gorgeous sash and other insig
nia that would have jaundiced “tha
Sons and Daughters of I Will
Arise.”
And Wiley was most accommo
dating as conductor, engineer, fire
man, and bralceman all in one. If
you were going for a doctor or
were late for the Baccalaureate
Service, or were making a train, a
word from Wiley was sufficient
and he would step on the juice.
These anachronistic metaphors are
very persistent,—what I mean is.
he would lash Tillie’s back,—I
wish I could remember that mule’s
name,-—and she would kick up once
or twice, then unlimber herself
into an awkward gallop, and the
car would come tumbling, rum
bling after, over the wooden skids,
slopping the mud on every side, no
consideration whatsoever for beat
ing the schedule or for possible
passengers waiting on street cor
ners or in the middle of the block.
It did not make much difference
if the car occasionally jumped the
track, but jumping the track was
not a frequent occurrence, for the
skids and the mule simply made
three parallel grooves through the
mud, and Juliet. —no, it was Pom
