Keeping in Proper Channels
OIM’ONKNTS o!’ compulsory student body
fepK have declared their i1111-ntio11 oL'
submitting this involved controversy to
those people who are least interested the
people of the state of Oregon.
In taking Ibis step proponents of the ref
erendum movement will do two things
which we believe wrong:
1. The citizenry of the state of Oregon
are not affected directly with the problem
and as a whole are the least qualified to make
a decision upon this strictly educational
matter:
2. The result would necessarily l»e in
favor of the group which spread the greatest
amount of effective “propaganda” to disin
terested persons to whom it would l»e virtual
ly impossible to convey the facts in order
that a thorough study of the case could be
made.
The stole legislature Inis empowered the
state board of higher education at its dis
cretion to levy a student body lee upon every
student attending an institution in the state
system of higher education.
State senators decided that the whole
matter of student fees should be left in the
hands of the members ol' the statesman!.
State representatives voted that the
state hoard should he the body to consider
the matter of student fees.
(lovciMior Martin approved the action ol
1he legislators, showing that he, too. was oi
the opinion that the state hoard should con
tinue to direct the policies of higher educa
tion.
Oregon students should aquaint them
selves with the facts pertaining to the stu
dent fee controversy.
Oregon students should study every
plva.se of the student fee issue.
Future action should he left to the state
board and to the students themselves.
Instead of making the mistake of both
ering and confusing the people of the state
with this educational issue, Oregon State
college students are keeping the student fee
controversy in the proper channels by voting
in open meeting upon tile following resolu
tion drafted by the student body executive
committee:
WHKRKAS, A uniform student associa
tion fee had been in effect at Oregon State
college and at other higher educational insti
tutions for 25 years, without question or
serious objection, ns a means of financing in
part the many activities aside from regulai
classroom work which form an integral and
valuable part of college training, and
WHEREAS, This uniform fee was de.
dared illegal under present laws by the
attorney general of Oregon and was hence
made optional despite tlie expressed desire of
the state board of higher education to main
tain it, and
WHEREAS, II was the experience of this
campus that the abandonment of the policy
of levying a moderate uniform student activ
ity fee resulted in uncertainty, lack of unity,
misunderstandings, loss of morale and gen
erally unsatisfactory and undemocratic con
ditions among the students with respect to
this phase of their college life, and even
affected the attitude of many toward other
established college regulations and programs,
and
WHEREAS, An enabling act has now
been passed by the state legislature and
signed by the governor which empowers the
state board of higher education to levy such
a uniform fee at any or all of the institu
tions under conditions as it may deem wise
und in an amount not exceeding So a term,
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the students of Oregon
State college at a call meeting March (5, l!)3o
express their sincere gratitude to the Oregon
state legislature for recognising the problems
and needs of college students by passing this
enabling aet by the decisive majority and
their appreciation to Governor Charles H
Martin for his support as expressed by his
signing '.he bill, and be it further
RESOLVED, That the Oregon State stu
dents express appreciation to the slate board
of higher education for its effective handling
of this difficult situation and rccpje.t that
the board inform the public concerning
facts in eider that current misunderstanding
ana mismiormauon may ue uonecieu, anu oe
it further
RESOLVED, That it is the sense of the
Oregon State college student body that a uni
form student activity fee properly admin
istered and under the general control of the
state board of higher education is the most
democratic, efficient and economical system
of insuring to all students regardless of finan
cial condition the full advantages that come
from college attendance; that instead of be
ing an unfair burden laid upon the student of
limited means, the fees would provide a
method whereby through the payment of a
moderate sum he is assured of equal advant
ages and opportunities in the enjoyment of
and or participation in such activities as
musical organ' ons, concerts and lectures
brought to the campus, forensics, publica
tions, athletics, a id the many forms of stu
dent government.- 1 activities the limits or
effect of which cannot be sharply drawn;
that in view of these facts we deplore
attempts to mislead the public as to the fair
ness and value of this law and that we oppose
any movement designed to delay its taking
effect; and be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of this resolu
tion be forwarded to tne speaker of the house,
Mr. John E. Cooter, and the president of the
senate, Mr. Harry L. Corbett, in the Oregon
legislature; to Governor Charles H. Martin,
and to members and the secretary of the
state board of higher education, and that
copies be supplied to the press of the state.
One Man’s Opinion
E wonder what will become of little Alyce
Jane McHenry, the 10-year-old girl whose
internal workings were so completely gummed
up that doctors had to operate to place them in
their proper order.
Little Alyce was just another American
schoolgirl until the trouble was discovered. When
illness made examinations necessary, the doctors
found that her stomach - among other things
was upsldedown. Other of her vital organs were
located in places where they simply had no busi
ness being located. So the good surgeons oper
ated to right the wrong. If she recovers she will
probably be quite a curiosity along with the
Dionne quints and the Hilton sisters, the Siamese
twins.
The American people are curious folk. We take
the most enormous and childlike interest in such
things as the quints, the Siamese twins and now
little Alyce Jane. Some new curiosity is con
tinually chasing the old ones off the front page to
the back and finally to oblivion. Ripley has cap
italized admirably on this bug of curiosity which
flourishes inside of us. The holder of the vaude
ville contract for the Dionne quints will cast in
with huge dollar signs when the youngsters are
old enough to exhibit.
In comparatively small quantities, this cur
iosity is in all probability a healthful thing. It
is only when it goes to extremes that it becomes
a sign of morbidity and the basis for future
decay. There is a very fine line between the
wholesomely interested attitude and that of de
praved curiosity concerning sordid things.
Speaking of signs of decay, a certain writer
whom we follow quite closely, points out that
the greatest structural efforts of a race almost
invariably come when they are approaching their
downfall. He is speaking of purely physical pro
jects of building and cites as examples the build
ing of the Egyptian pyramids with the subsequent
fall of that empire and also the fall of Rome but
a short time after her building efforts had reached
their height.
If there is anything in comparison with ancient
empires, he inquires, can there be any significance
in the fact that America has in the process of
completion, the most gigantic building enter
prises the world has ever seen? Speaking, of
course, of the great dams now under construction
and of the San Francisco bay bridges, as well as
the skyscrapers already completed.
Personally, we believe that there are so many
"signs" that an amateur prophet may find an
indication of most anything he might wish to
prophecy. It is quite the open season for prog
nosticators. In fact, from the rapidity with
which the public debt is mounting, it might seem
that the theorists are trying to make their
dreams come true by spending huge amounts in
furthering them. As yet, it is difficult to deter
mine just where idle dreaming leaves off and
actual constructive building begins.. Actually,
I he whole subject makes our head whirl just the
least bit. Anyhow, such things keep' our mind
occupied and keep us from worrying about the
things congress might do if it went completely
liog-wild instead of only mildly balmy. And sure
ly that is some comfort.

The Passing Show
JAI’ANKSK IMPIKl \1.ISM
COM10 of the American press has censured
^ Japanese action in issuing an oriental hands
off policy.
These same newspapers, which run periodical
editorials praising the Monroe Doctrine, are
among the first to strike at Japanese imperialistic
policy as a violation of the laws of nations. Japan.
' they say, has cut herself off from the other
countries, and has declared that foreign inter
vention in the orient is tantamount to a declara
tion of war against the Nipponese.
The American newspapers apparently fail to
see any similarity between this pronouncement
i and the Monroe Doctrine. They fail to see that
the Americans and Japanese in both announce
ments were endeavoring to protect their countries
from the ravaging encroachments of foreign
nations Both nations were motivated by patri
otic ideals.
But, these newspapers must sec a peril; if
there is uot a German danger, there might as
well be a Yellow Peril.

TIME CRAWLS ON.

Last week a furious controversy
raged on the campus. Students at
the University were split into two!
definite parties, one contigent was ;
| stringently opposed to big- dark ;
I Marshall Harrison's weedy mus
tache. The other thougt that no- i
thing could be done about it. The !
j former faction decided that a good
plan would be to lure Harrison out!
some dark night and scrape his i
nether lip with a piece of broken
glass.
The resigned pacifists thought
that violent action should be
avoided, even to the point of pro- j
tecting the fur bearer out of sea
i son, or in.
Nignts of conspiracy passed,
and the war party formed its
plans . . . Nights of conspiracy
j passed for the peace party, too.
; A war traitor kept them informed
1 as to which way the wind was
blowing ....
Three nights ago big Marsh re
ceived a call that the little bird
was stranded at Gosser’s with a
four dollar bill for an evening at
the stein.
“What a solo that was,” horsed
Harrison, puffing like a grampus.
Throwing on a light gamp, he
proceeded out in the chill of the
early morning. A score of gang
sters swarmed over his protesting
body ere he had covered half the
distance to his goal. Another score
j attacked the first group, savagely,
laying about them with claymore
and pike . . . Peace ut any cost
I was their motto.
During the ensuing battle the
! wrinkled form of Harrison wended
j unnoticed from under the side walk
I toward the doors of the S. A. E.
I house, and safety . . . (The big,
! fat baboon!)
Further bloodshed was averted
when Harrison saw the light and
scalped his pan. The next day he!
ventured out with bulging sinuses |
but sans mustache and hunted look. |

Rolling quietly down Willamette j
street yesterday, a long, yellow i
speed boat on wheels startled'
gawking students who scurried in-.
to stores, and up poles believing
that prohibition days were here
again with the accompanying
dizzy experiences. However, after
more minute investigation of the
yellow vision, it was found to be
a new convertible coupe.-and

The Curious
DON CARRUTH, born in Waits
burg, Washington, August 14, 1914, i
is one of those people who doesn’t;
say a great deal about himself but
through process of time, if you’re
lucky, you will discover many in-!
teresting things about him—they I
are things you’d never suspect and <
each gives a new insight into his
real abilities.
He has for hobbies: photography,
(“till somebody stole my camera
in Chicago last year’’) radio, music
and chess. He is the gentleman who
has built a public-address and
phonograph amplifying system for
use at Westminster house. Every |
Friday evening, dozens of students
dance to music supplied by his,
machines and unless you take the !
trouble to Investigate, you'd never!
know by his manner that he is
running the show.
Don is a science major, taking
pre-med work. Among his other;
talents, he is an excellent vocalist |
and plays the violin skillfully. He i
has appeared over local radio pro-1
grams frequently and is invited out i
to various organizations all over
the state to sing.
Swimming and fishing are his:
favorite sports. He hikes, but like ]
most everything else he does, there
is a real purpose behind it. He goes
out to get specimens for the biolog
ical lab which is set up in the back
room of the “Lemon O” pharmacy.
Don is not decided yet as to
what he wants to do. It may be
medicine, or music—but again it
may not. He is intrigued by com
munications and is working toward
a broadcasting license for his ama
teur station.
Don’s reading again expresses
his constant drive toward accum
ulation of knowledge: articles and
books of a technical nature, on
biology, radio and photography.
The University ? “The right place
for a person who is working to
ward a definite objective. Pardon
the personal conceit, but there are
many attending who have no place
here.”
Don's likeable, easy to become
acquainted with and a staunch,
loyal friend. What finer recom
mendation can anyone have than
that?

Again I See in tancy

3t. ratnck s IJav in tne
A. M., 1891
The Class of '92 in its junior |
year was a “frabjous” lot, if that
means a curious bunch. We did
such queer things, almost as queer
as the next classes both north and
south of us. One day in February
of ’91, we conceived the idea that
we needed distinctive head-gear
which, so far as I know, was orig
inal with us,—I mean the idea,
though the head-gear too was
“non compos mentis.” Perhaps
tnat is not exactly the needed
phrase, but it sounds peculiarly
appropos. So we intimated our
scheme to Messrs. Howe and Rice
of the Brownsville Woolen Mills
Store, operating about where the
Imperial Cafe is now located, and
the result was a pearl-grey Derby,
the old-style "dicer," but conspicu
ously ashen.
I am wrong. There were only
seven-eighths of us that indulged
in this preposterous insigne. We
missed unanimity by one. Joe bolt
ed. Nothing could move him. We
thought him a poor sport at the
time, but now we can see that he
was the only sensible one in the
bunch.
We did hot wear those monstros
ities any too often. They created
such consternation among the co
eds and such ridicule among the
profane. Mine very soon f6und a
deserved niche in the attic where
I discovered it years afterwards,
all mottled and moth-eaten.
we added the colors and accoutre
ments appropriate to St. Patrick,
we certainly were one hiatus mir
acle. Now. Patrick himself we only
knew to be a good Saint, the enemy
of snakes, the friend of the Irish.
His calendar date we accepted as
a signal of jollity and good fel
lowship. Home Rule was as yet
ah antipodal problem, the religious
controversy as remote as Little
America, and oranges only a little
more palatable than lemons. So
we importuned our mothers or sis
ters, or some substitute for the
same, to sew green stripes down
the seams of our trousers and
green bands around our coat
sleeves.
Again I am wrong, for again we
failed of unanimity by one. This
time, it was Porter “Maximus”
who could not be prevailed upon
to don the stripes. Anyway, we
would have been compelled to tele •
graph for more ribbon for his long
legs. We had bought up all the
green available in the village, as
it was.
And thusly we paraded on St.
Patrick's Day in the Morning of
1891, and whistled octetly “The
Wearing o' the Green,” alternating
it with “Marching Through Geor
gia.” “Sweet Rosie O’Grady” and
"My Wild Irish Rose” were yet un
born. But what we rnssed in tune
fulness, we made up in other ways.
Every now and then, Porter “Maxi
mus” would pick up McClure "Min

Bell System engineers long ago began to work out
a way to clear city streets of overhead wires. The
first telephone cables were crude affairs—a few wires
drawn through a pipe. Continuous research brought
forth improved designs, better manufacturing
methods, cables of smaller size yet far greater capac*
ity. The cable with the greatest number of wires
today—3636—is 2%" in

More than 94% of the
