A Matter of liberalism WITH ii noticeable absence of bombast mid hullabaloo Oregon students, who lire of Hip opinion Hint courses in military training should he offeretl on an elective basis, are signing petitions asking that the University faculty make such a recommenda tion to the state hoard of higher education. While dozens of courses which are really important to a college education are listed as electives, there appears to he little sanc tion from an educational standpoint for re quiring military training for all lower class men students. Throughout the nation, liberal institu tions have, during the last few years, weighed the ease ot liiilitary training on the scales of education and have found it did not deserve classification on their curricula as a required course. The University of Oregon has built for itself through long years a reputation as one of the country's great liberal universities. For the faculty to again vote against making military drill elective would, it seems to us. he in direct opposition to its traditional liberalism. Practically, the change of military train ing from its present status to 11ml ot an elective course would he little more than a formal change of wording in the description of tIre course. With the present liberal and generous committee on exemptions functioning as it lias of late, it is eompavalively easy for a student to he excused from drill. To make training elective it would merely simplify tile existing situation and relieve overworked faculty members from tlediuus routine so that they might he free to devote their time to more valuable serivee. The great preponderance of evidence is in favor of the petitioners. Confident we are that Oregon's liberal faculty will decide in favor of liberalism ami not continue to pul undue emphasis upon military drill, which at most lias an extreme ]v doubtful educational value. A Ski-vut arm an opportunity N K encouraging development ni'ter another piles up to make us optimisin' for tlie future of the University. The liilest is |)chu Alien's announcement that next year the University will again he host for (hi* eon vent ion of the Oregon High Sehool Press association. Since Ill'll this iinnimt meeting dedicated to raisiug the standards of high school jour nalisin in the state has not heeu held. It would l>e unfair to say that Oregon high school newspapers have not, during the interim, maintained a caliber eomparahle to that «d' the years prior to Hid I Hut to keep Oregon Inch school prtbliea tions on l heir present elevated plane and boost them to creator heights of efficiency the University's sponsorship of future eon fereuees will again offer a genuine service of which it may he justly proud. Amoug the' lienel'its given to Inch school journalists are: lns[)iratioual gjaidanee ofiVred hy the Jaetilty <d the school of journalism; Practical suggestions and plans from many o! Oregon s toremost professional editors, managers and publishers Wholehearted cooperation of student journalists at the I adversity. And of particular .interest to the Uni versity and Oregon students is the acquaint iutr of these newspaper persons of the future with the facilities of the University's school of journalism. In resuming the animal press sessions we see further development of high school journalism and the opportunity to show those who would he college trained journal ists why the Oregon sehool of journalism is o't« '' v< . • d as one of tie thl*n best in Uu> United State -. Hearst in Education JT is common knowledge that William •Randolph Ilearst is a rabid nationalist and a fiery anti-communist. lie lias been instru mental in blocking' the I’nited States' entry into the world court and the league o!’ na tions, and Inis taken some pains, through his widespread newspaper domain, 1o bring to light what lie thinks is communism, even when it isn’t present. ! ndotihtedly. then, lie was very pleased to hear the following story From Oglethorpe university in Atlanta, (Jeorgia. particularly since lie is something of a fairy godfather to the institution.: A certain Nathan Yagol. instructor in chemistry in Kmory university, also in At lanta. arrived on the Oglethorpe campus 10 deliver a lecture on Russia, lie went di recl.ly to the assei :b 1 y hall. There, instead of an audience of impartial students interested in international affairs. Yagol found Ogle thorpe football men in uniform wailing for liim. With shouts of “We don't want any of your communism!” the athletes escorted 't a gol. from I he ea m pus. President Thornwell Jacobs of Ogle thorpe. when, told of this, remarked, “ It was a most refreshing exhibition of good old fashioned Americanism. ” It was shocking enough last fall to hear of students greeting Italian student guests to this country with shouts of “To hell with fascism ! (>ut even at lhat time the admin istrations of the institutions at which 1 hi.-; and similar scenes took place expressed their disapproval in no uncertain terms. lint here we have something new in edu cators. lie champions inhospitality of tin* grossest kind and commends young students for physical violence—or at least the threat of it. Admittedly il is a great thing to found educational institutions, hut when the round er shows his hand in the policies of the institution, especially as shown in the above instance, then* is the likelihood that educa tional freedom will be endangered. So vve have one more instance of the Hears! influence. II this is what, young men learn of hospitality and unbiased intellectual curiosity' under it, then tin* social value .of Unit particular school is doubtful. One Man’s Opinion 1 -.r 11 • By Stivers Vernnn--———— JTMMY Walker, ex-mayor of New York, is in " the news again. This time however, his name is in small type down toward the bottom of the page. In rapid-fire order come reports about the honorable James. First, we hear that he is brought into an English court because of failure to pay his honest debts. Second, a radio news ■ reporter tells us that the taxi-drivers of New York haVc appealed to him to return to this country and espouse their cause. (We haven't as yet determined just what that cause is.) And third, a tiny item informs us that he will return to this country and run for the office of state senator in New York. Someone vouchsafes the opinion that little Jimmy, the dude who held midnite executive conferences in Broadway cabarets, is about to execute a political comeback. Something about vindicating himself in the eyes of Mis former admirers is also mentioned. It seems tht his heart inside a pearl-grey vest aches at the thought of the various injustices that have been done to the cause of Tammany in New York since the famous investigations which put him on the skids. If such is his ambition and desire, the wise ■craeking lad who was formerly chief executive of America's largest city, is due for a rude awakening. Jimmy has been living abroad for some years now, slowly but surely running through both his own bank-roll and that of his actress wife Betty Conjpson. Perhaps he doesn’t realize that changes have come to the scenes of his child hood. Perhaps lie doesn't realize that the days of blatant, out-in-the-open piracy in public of fices arc over. (Wee small voice: Sure, the pirates arc all smart enough to stay under "cover nowa days!) The day and time in which characters such as Walker could thrive are gone we hope forever. So little Jimmy, the boy with the swanky spats and the rapid-fire comeback, may come again to New York. His oratory, however, will be wasted upon second-rate party gatherings am I has-been luncheons. Never more will he cleave the air of a downtown night-club as the big-shot executive. His political significance is as extinct as the great auk. And since he. is in his rightful place down in small letters, we can think of nothing ihat would more completely fill our soul with joy than to find beside it in extremely small letters the accounts of the love-affairs of Doug Fairbanks and Kudy Vallee. We would be humbly grateful it we knew tor certain that their sojourn in tire banner head class was likewise over.

The embattled farmers roared up and down the maplewood court shooting from every angle in a wild effort to haul down the elusive duck, who was flying high that night. Wild crescendos of boos ! and applause greeted every effort of the basketeers. Players snarled at each other; at the snarling ref erees. The ball was everywhere; sometimes quicker than the eye could follow. In the tenser mom ents, of which there were many, the thundering herd would con verge under the basket, trampling its erstwhile members underfoot . . In the bleachers, swift moving needles 'clicked without hitch. Dog tired but protecting their narrow margin with deathly grim ness the Webfoot warriors carried the battle to the closing minutes. Then the Staters, playing like demons from another world, made their final bid for supremacy. The hemp of the lemon yellow's basket whispered twice within 30 seconds, urged by long howitzers from the hands of Captain George Hibbard of the Beavers. The faces of the players were pale and drawn under the bright lights. Ten seconds to go. Ten seconds for the Webfeet to guard their tiny one point margin. Ten seconds for the visitors to grind it out of existence. In the bleachers swift moving needles moved without hitch. Oregon snatched the final tipoff, I but before the ball had rocketed half way down the floor, the final gun boomed out over the pande nomium of the 4000 nerve torn on lookers. Before the puff of white gunpowder smoke had curled half way toward the lofty ceiling of the court, the exultant crowds had flooded the floor. They were filing out in howling groups as the lonely knitter mounted leisurely to her feet, smothering a yawn ... A tardy rejoicer hurried by. “Boy,” mewed Peggy Chess man, knitting needle poised, “would you please tell me if our boys really drubbed the HUSK IES ?

Very fond of John Galsworthy, especially “Forsyte Saga” and she I likes the work of Lloyd C. Doug : lass. What’s more, she likes Es quire, "The man’s magazine.” At least, that's the psychology they use in their advertising. She’s affiliated with Alpha Del ta Pi, Gamma Alpha Chi, women’s advertising national, Kwama, W. A. A., and is Associated Women Students reporter on the Emerald. She’s the kind of person who should be affiliated, and we aren’t trying to trespass on the territory of the Octopus! Margery is darned nice and we recommend her to all her friends.

Dunn Grandfather's Clock Carries On Somewhat sputtery, not caring whether chagrin or indignation was the more poignant in my peri cardium, I visited the University Depot and Post Office yesterday afternoon, to find that for long years I had been mocked by a cruel delusion and that the clock into whose face I had gazed so wistfully until it was stolen from my class-room, was only one of a common brand of regulator, fre quent on the campus! There, ticking bravely, as if still (timing the "metric beat of the an cient “hie, haec, hock,” but now' keeping -watch over Rachel Van Osdol, as she in turn checks up on Don Lewis, who in his turn vainly tries to keep all of us straight, hangs the very first purchase made by the Board of Regents, Voucher No. 1, with the name of the Eu gene firm from whom it was pur chased, “Crain Bros.” and the date beneath, “1876,” both broadly blaz oned across its front. As I gazed, a voice seerrred to time in with the “dickory, dickory, dock,” “Proceed, Mr. Dunn”; “Parsing is just a statement of facts, Miss Dorris;” “Oh! call it Tfech-um-seh and go on, Mr. Fish er”; “Come back at two, Mr. Fen ton:” But what was the matter with “Old Dickory’s" countenance” Great patches of enamel were gone from the face of the dial, even whole numerals missing. A battle, a bombing, some racketeering, an earthquake ? Varicose veins or erysipelas ? Or just plain senility 7 No, I learned that the venerable time piece was once found face downward on the floor Of the for mer power-house, where it had been thrown by a steam-explosion. One glad incident varied. “Old Dickory’s” ticking, when the Uni versity celebrated its semi-centen nial and the inauguration of Pres ident A. B. Hall. It was brought tc be hung above the toastmaster’s station in uenmger nan, in oruer to prove its persistent youth de spite its years, having ticked off for us a half century, over ardu ous steeps though not yet to the stars,—with the first enrolled stu dent of 1876 seated on one side of it and the last one to receive a receipt in 1926 on the other. But by what process had “Vouch er No. 1, of 1876” come to be in the power house? Xhis precious oldest relic of the University,— why should it not have its face lifted, both physically and meta phorically, and itself re-established ir. the most central, the most fre quented, the most stately of our Halls ? It should be to Oregon a talisman for all its days. Why should we not have the privilege of creating, here and now, a leg end like those of the Alhambra or the AEneid, that the life of our University is assured "so long as Old Dickory tocks.” Next in the series ST.

Ohmart said that the committee was seeking additional members, particularly students from the smaller towns.

Those unable to attend the meeting this evening were asked to communicate with Ohmart at local 241. Verne Adams, treasurer of the committee, announced that more than $15 has already been contrib uted, and a considerably larger sum has been pledged.
