Fears wi'i'c ex pressed that she would never play again. Today Miss Brockman leaves for the East to compete in a national musical con test of young artists, after winning highest honors in tlie NorlInvest. lJer meteoric rise is the result ol strong determination and hard work coupled with a naturaI gift for music. Oregon acclaims .Miss lirockman with pride and wishes her well in the eastern contest. Bow i'or lln* General, Girls came through Eugene, where I was ~ ’ told the students held a pacifist strike last Friday. Those things make me laugh. You know, the hoys don’t really feel that way. Inti coeds get to talking to them and telling them a lot of learfnl stuff and coax the lads to get up it strike. It doesn’t mean a damned thing, we all know that ... It's just to please the girls its said, that makes these funny strikes . . .” Hu, hit ami ha! With those words Major■(leueral Charles •I. Hailey, visitor in Portland yesterday, settled the whole economic and moral prob lem of militarism versus pacifism in the columns of the Morning Oregonian. The term, “strike," which lit* employed, was used either inadvisedly or as a result of misinformation. Happily, students til the University of Oregon are under the modern lion of a faculty of such enlightenment that, it isn’t b\ means of a walkout that we dent onstrate our destcstalion of war. But this hair-splitting won’t counter the reasoning with which the old soldier probed the bottom of student pacifism. It must be answered in its own kind. The flaw in bis logic is bis misunder standing of tlie feminine heart. What would make a girl lachty muse in her plea for pari fism'/ “There's something about a soldier, tra-la lit, and, contrary to bis reasoning, there isn’t a girl hut who would cry her eyes out to see her -loutiie stripped of Itis natty W.O.T.C. uniform. Sec him swinging down the street. Stout fellow. It fills her lira rt. Freud showed that “libido" ma\ be used to prove anything, and here evidenlK is a ease in which it can explain the interest in pacifism or war. Friend of the University WENTY .years ago Charles C. Whit (on moved to Kugene from Denser. Colo rado. lie became interested in real estate and developed the major portion of upper College Crest, livug for mans seat's in bis home on Inspiration point. Mr. Whitten had mans friends in the I’niversitv and ss as interested in the sselfare of the I'nisersits. Mr. Whittens ssill bequeathes to the I'nisersits spotKJ to be used a-- a loan fund for students This fund is to be known as the Elizabeth Whitten memorial fund in honor of Mr. Whitten's first ss ife. its- donating this fund to the I'niverstij iir. Whitten did three tilings; he established a lasting memorial to his first svife; lie showed his friendship lor the I'nisersits , and lie displayed a sympathetic heart and good judgement in leaving this memorial to needy students. Mans students base never heard of Mr. Wnit ten or Impiratiou point before. linns \sdl soijn forget his name. But there ssill be those to whom the Elizabeth Whitten memorial fund will mean the difference be tween gaining a higher education anil go ing back home. They will remember Mr. Whitten for what he was—a true friend of the University. The Governor Acts Wisely HOSE interested in higher education in A Oregon will have little to worry about in the coming shakeup in the state board personnel if Governor Martin -maintains ns wise a policy in his choice of members as he did in his recent reappointment of E. (,'. .Sammons. Mr. Sammons in his six years on the hoard has gained an understanding of the intricate proble: .vhicli face 1 hi* group, and as chairman of the finance committee has beyu in a large measure responsible for im proved administ rai ion of that department. Hi- is a man who has fought for the policies lie believes right, lie has shown re markable judgement in his choice of policy. Governor Martin is to be commended for keeping Mr. Sammons on the hoard. East night four of the umteen candidates for editor of the Emerald sat about mildly poking fun at each oilier. All were agreed that the oilier was I he logical man. Diogenes was conspicuous in his absence. The Day’s Parade _i_- By Fred Cnum Feared a Flop 'T'HUIISDAY last, a man very .shrewd in his knowledge of young men and women ex pressed the fear that the nation-wide demonstra tion of youth against war would fail its purpose. No passionate anti-militarism would he raised. A few serious-minded votaries of peace would speak and parade, but most students would hang hack and crack wise from the crowd. Instead of there being rallied thousands of young people ernestly vowing themselves to peace, he was afraid that the affair would he something of a lark, like a football rally. And 11 Was a Flop The event, as it came off Friday, bore out his apprehension too well. Youth was represented in the serious minority and .in the boisterous majority that he anticipated. Four or five stu dents stood and declaimed against compulsory military training, boosts in war appropriation, and America’s naval policy in the Pacific. Their oratory was given the sympathy of an interested little group in front; the curious indifference of the greater part of the assemblage; and the boobish heckling of a group of boors who should be back on the farm calling hogs. lint* Do Students Want War? Yet would we be right to assume from the fizzling of this demonstration that the youth of America prefer war to peace? Hardly. Every shred of real evidence, such as the collegiate peace poll last fall, shows that the young men and women of the United States are opposed to war. Then, why can they not assemble and in one voice proclaim their feelings? It is because American students are not politically minded. It is a sad admission, but not one student in five gives a whoop how this country is run. Fost-W ar Siitnrl-Aleeks 'flic reason for the political indifference on our campuses is mostly because we have always had it too easy. Our institutions are democratic, and there is no personalized despotism at which to direct an assembled anger. Most American college students come from comfortable homes, ami they take tlieir good fortune in a most coin postal manner. All this is true, but this political j complacency may also he due in some measure [ to the smart-aleck attitude that has character ! ized post-war youth an attitude which only lately Is beginning to lose countenance. Masses Aren't Indifferent Well, the scene isn’t too rosy in this country now, with the Huey Longs and the Father Cough lins and the Dr. Townsends tempting the hotly discontented sub-college strata of our people. And it won’t be well for those of us with the advantage of education to lapse into bovine con tent. If we are not learning to rule ourselves, to champion our sincere beliefs, lao direct the in telligent government of this country, then we may as well have stayed on the farm. The Passing Show mi; wokst m t ^T'HKRK was a time when the ethics of the -*■ American press forbid dragging family i quarrels, no matter how spicy or entertaining, into the public limelight, but those days are gone. A breakfast table quarrel doesn't even have to be spicy or interesting any more; it need only concern Communism, pacificism or some other Hearst phobia to become "page one stuff." Thus we witness on page one of a local news paper, t He charming spectacle of a Seattle mother's attempts to prevent her daughter, a L'niversity coed, from going to Russia under the j auspices of a Communist newspaper because she I fears her daughter may be converted to the Rus- j sian way of thinking during her stay in the j Soviet, l’.ut snooping teporter ■ brought back even l more 'han details of the quarrel: they got “A Seattle Mother’s Warning Against Red Teach ers." We have long wondered how long the Hears; , press would stop its red-baiting campaign. We have seen professors branded as "teds" because 1 they spoke against war and lleatst militarism: j we have ecu student pacifists crucified because j they paraded on Armistice day. we have soon j high school teachers ridden on a rail because they told their student s capitalism had not been I completely successful and now we witness a j whole family . n rificed that the public may 1 ’ \ "Warned Ajiis.1 F.

East Will Hear (Continued from Patjc One) breaks because they come only to those who are ready to take ad vantage of them but because of her tireless study and effort to perfect herself, to become one of the finest violinists in the country. With the start she has, there are many Northwest critics who have heard her play who are willing to guarantee that she will become a world-famous musician provided she continues with here career. She throws her heart and soul into her work. Her renditions are done witn as complete finish and masteiy its she is capable every time she plays them. There is never a. “slack” moment during one of her concerts and at the con clusion she is inevitably greeted with long moments of breathless silence, as though the audience were afraid of breaking a fragile spell. Trip Means .Much This trip means a great deal to Miss Brockman and much to hte University of Oregon which has seen her blossom from a good av erage violinist into one of the out standing musicians in its history. She leaves for Philadelphia with the good wishes of the entire cam pus. her friends in Eugene and The Curious Cub ------ - By Fulton H. Travis-• — It is with great pleasure that the Curious One presents Brandon Young, a talented and already well-known musician, Brandon has appeared in concert with the Junior Symphony, the University Symphony, and has had incidental harp solos with the University of Oregon band. She is a freshman music major. Brandon is one of the refreshing i people in this world who has no definite set with regard to her reading. She is perfectly frank to admit that she “really enjoys” leading popular magazines and again, she has no definite prefer ence. "Anythng that is really in teresting, readable and clean. I very much dislike the too mushy triangle type of story." There's a bouquet which is a real one. She enjoys horseback riding, j golf and swimming: no amount of pel suasion and suggestion was ca ! pable of making her add to the list. The University? “I think it’s all right. I enjoy the contacts I have made and feel that I am ben efitting greatly by my musical training.” Brandon, to keep the statistics straight, was born in Eugene, Sep I tember 28, 3 916. She is a member of Kappa Alpha. Theta ahcl is also a member of Tail Delta, underclass music honorary. Her one burning desire, she .-ays, is that she has always want ed to tackle someone- like they do in football: or, failing that, to hit someone on the chin. throughout the Pacific Northwest; there is a feeling of gratitude in the heart of every one who has been privileged to hear her play, for a something, poignant, thrill ing and cherished which can never be taken away while life remains Saturday Wreck Puts Mikulak on Sick List “Iron” Mike Mikulak was re leased Sunday from the Pacific hospital where he had been placed following an automobile accident on Saturday evening. The acci 'dent, which occurred on the corner of Nineteenth and Fairmount, re sulted in slight lascerations over the right eye, slight concussion, and a praumatic injury to the back, Mikulak was alone when the accident occurred.

Dunn_____. lhe Mishaps ot Musiey Welligan His Methodist parents had chris tened him Wesley T. Mulligan, but that made no difference with us. The Irish in him,—I suppose it was Irish,—constrained us to dubb him, in all affection, Musiey Welligan. And like the good sport he was, he accepted it graciously. When I first saw him, I fell for him, Derby and all,— it was one \ of the kind with the crown elevat ed about two inches above the rim, —and we were pals for years, un til he became eclipsed in the Titian halo that glistened from Emma i Washburne’s head. That was about the time his name became inverted, for he neither saw nor talked coherently afterwards. There was probably no one who more frequently, cheerfully, re ceived free tickets to those mat inee performances we called "extra sessions,” than Musiey Welligan. Even if he had a fairly correct recitation all prepared, President habit of greeting him with “Kum bakatoo," that Wes could scarcely sputter two words before the fell pronouncement had fallen. The mishaps which besprinkled his career as a student always re minded me of the only declamation Wes ever attempted before the Laurean Society. It began, “Hap piness, Mr. President, is like a crow perched upon the peak of a far distant mountain." We all tried t< give him a psychic boost, and he stammered on to a close, but it left me an inerasible cartoon of a crow a-top Spenser's Butte. One moon-lit night we had come back from a boat-ride up the Mill Race with the Converse sisters,—• Florence and Helen and Grace,— and were rather inclined to be re luctant to leave the porch,—the moon was simply elegant, you know. Now there was a young brother in the Converse menage who was sometimes inspired to in terpose harmless innuendos, just to make sure that we remembered his existence. And, about mid night,—it may have been later,— there came a vigorous tap or two on the ceiling above us. Wes forthwith caught up one of the oars which we were carrying home to stow away, and rapped from below, accompanying it with “Come off the perch, old man." The next day, Helen confided to me that those taps came from Converse pater, no spirit at that, but a Christian gentleman, not to have followed up a horrible oppor tunity. That same night as we were go ing home, we were approaching (Please turn to page three) EASTER STYLES WILL GO ON PARADE IN Thursday’s Emerald There Are Reasons ! East woe]; the Emerald printed more "advertising lineage tha'll any other week siure M)29. There are several reasons for this. 1. © Tile advertising department is wide awake and on its toes. 2. • The merchants of Eugene are realiz ing more and more that they get value in return for their advertising dollar in the Emerald. 3. © Students and readers of the Emer ald are realizing more and more tluf Emerald advertisers are dependable merchants and as a result patronize them. 4. • Emerald advertisers know that the best way to reach and appeal to the live college market is through the Emerald. 3. © Spring is the season when students are eager to learn of new styles and want to know where they can buy them at prices they can afford to pay.
