New Deal in Traditions PRESIDENT Boyer's recent move in bau A ning' the enforcement by violence of Ore gon traditions clears the deck for even more effective action. The act culminates an ex tended effort on the part of those interested in the campus life of the University to bring' to the attention of the students the necessity for unified action in raising' the morale of the student body through the common ob servance of traditions. Although the enforcement of traditions by violence lias been adjudged impractical by l)r. Boyer this does not diminish the value of traditions on this campus. 11 is act. estab lishes a freedom of action for the students of the University, and this freedom should not he violated. It should be taken with a reser vation. letting the common sense and good taste of the individual govern his attitude toward the various customs that have been established over a long period. All will agree that this theory is the ideal one, and a workable application would be most desirable for the further development of the atmosphere of a university such as this one. It is hoped that the abolition of forceful enforcement of traditions will not be con sidered as an excuse for the shabby anil unnecessary practices of those who would unthinkingly violate1 Oregon traditions. The I'anerald believes, however, that the talk of “warping personalities by barbaric, sadistic physical violence" is not pertinent to the past method of enforcing traditions by the Order of the O and that this group tull'died ils mission of tradition enforcement with a minimum of indeseret ions both as re gards the detection amt punishment of tra dition violators. A Palm to Mrs. Ernst r Is 111'. Oregon laeulty scores again! Hut this time these words strike a little closer home, with 1he announcement of the appearance of Alice Henson Krnsfs 'High Country," a volume of four plays of our own Northwest. Dramatics critics say that in the field of regional literature the Northwest is almost an untouched territory. So Mrs. I'rnst has drawn from a source from which there still remains considerable possibilities for devel opulent. The publication of such a work neces s.arily entails a careful and intensive stud\ of the subject involved, together with the interpretation of a true artist. Another leather in Mrs. Ivrnst s cap is the appearance of her plays on the recom mended list of the \alional Theater confer once, for this group recognizes only those works which it considers definite literary contributions. further lavorablc criticism is contained in the preface, wriiten h\ Kdith -I. K. Isaacs, ed it or ol the I'll eat er Arts Mould ly. w ho pre diets that Mrs. Krnst is "a new playwright worth watehiug." '1 his. however, is only one example of the commendable work being carried on b\ laculty members of the state educational iu sl buttons, under hardships line to financial and other si ringcueies. 1‘erhaps flic greatest achievment is ihe ability of an individual laboring under these difficulties to successfully carry out the writing and publication of such a work in spite of the added burden of a heav\ scho lastic haul and an inadequate pittance. To this ambitious group we ma> give most id the credit lor keeping our economic depression from tunimg into a cultural one. Oregon State One Up (Editor’s note: This is the second of a series of articles describing student union buildings on various other campuses, to he jmblished by the Oregon Daily Emerald in an effort to impress students of the University with the facilities which might be provided by a student union building on the University campus.) F all existin'*: student union buildings. the nearest and consequently most familiar to Oregon students is the luxurious •+700,000 Memorial Union building at Ore gon Slate college. Constructed in 1028 with funds subscribed by students, faculty, alum ni. and friends of the college, this spacious building has become the center of student social life, the headquarters of student gov ernment,' and the hub of all student and alumni activity. The main floor of the building, entrance to which is made through an elaborately furnished vestibule, contains a ball room, men’s dining room, kitchens, coffee shop, and fountain, in addition to a series of small banquet rooms which extend across the en lire west end of the building. At one end of the ball room is a stage, providing space for music at social and rally dances, and making it possible to convert the ballroom info a gigantic assembly hall for student mass meet ings, lectures, and concerts. The ball room is also used as a banquet room for assembl ages too large for the smaller rooms pro vided for that express purpose. The mens’ dining room can be used for small banquets, matinee dances, and lunches, while the coffee shop and fountain are equipped to furnish regular luncheons and short order service. The banquet rooms fill the need which is raised by 1hc constant campus demand for accomodations for small dinner parties and banquets. On the mezzanine floor is located a bar bin' shop, the student co-op store, rest rooms, and a ticket office. Rv such a location the co-op store is placed in a convenient and central spot on the campus, is on school property, and is made an integral part of the student activity center, as it should be. In addition to the many facilities pro vided for social life, the building affords offices for student publications, honor and service organizations, the associated stu dents, the associated women students, the alumni association, and Memorial Union headquarters. In contrast, it might here be pointed out that on the Eugene campus pub lications offices arc located in two widely separated buildings, the journalism building and McArthur court; honor and service or ganizations meet either in Johnson hall, Oommcrce hall, the Y hut, McArthur court, or the journalism building; the associated students and associated women students have offices in McArthur court: and the alumni offices are in Friendly hall. The Ore gon State Memorial Union affords an op portunity and the adequate facilities for a coordination of these related groups. The Passing Show PARENTS’ RESOLUTIONS |N Uie unlikely event the state board of higher education wants to put its various institutions back into a state of competitive turmoil it should promptly accept the advice of the Oregon Dads and Mothers clubs. At their meeting here Satur day the Oregon Mothers adopted a resolution asking the state board to abolish the office of chancellor on these grounds: (l) Unnecessary expense would be saved a system already hard hit for funds, (2i the University's progress under the unified plan has not been comparable with that of similar institutions, (3) the state board is fully competent to "correlate and control the work of all” institutions. The Mothers’ resolution was similar to one adopted by the Dads recently. We teel pretty sure neither of the resolutions would ever have been proposed had not Dr. Kerr been chancellor. Doth resolutions are unquestion ably creatures of the still lively opposition to the Kerr chancellorship. Thus the request of the two organizations becomes a little too much like seek ing the abolishment of the presidency of the United States because of objection to the incum bent of that office. A wiser and more direct course would have been to ask that selection of the new chancellor be expedited. The chancellorship should be the most im portant and responsible office in the higher edu cational system. Members of the state board, be they ever so competent, cannot be expected to give the time nor apply the expert knowledge rquired in administering the system. The state board's position should be similar to that of the board of directors of a business corporation, hold ing final authority and deciding matters of gen eral policy, but placing the general management in the hands of a competent administrator. Under the unified system the presidents themselves need a chancellor to keep them from getting into budgetary, curricular and other kinds of admin istrative snarls. The question of the identity of the chancellor is another matter Neither the office nor the system should be blamed for shortcomings seen in tli - person who holds the office. Obviously, the state's system of higher learning will never settle down until the new chancellor is chosen. We suspect that Dr. Kerr will he glad to step out of office the minute his successor is chosen. Eugene Morning News. President Royer’s effective action to put an end to this nonsense will meet statewide ap proval. the more so because this latest outbreak ha.- been linked with political controversy be tween the "athletic crowd ' and the group which is fighting the compulsory fee system. It. might be a good idea for the state board to take its lea 1 lroiri Royer and look into the "vigilantes” which are reported to have "strong-armed" free opinion on the Corvallis campus. Though of course, it's their boast to i>e "old fashioned’ over there. Eugene fiegi. ter-Ciuaul.

Its name is well known to you—Camel. Here's what an Olympic champion diver, Harold ("Dutch”) Smith, says about Camels: "I’ve found a great deal of pleasure in Camels. They never interfere with my wind.” Rip Collins, of the St. Louis Car dinals, says: "Here’s the best proof I know that Camels arc mild: 1 can smoke them steadily, and they never get my wind.” Rowland Dufton, of the New York A. C., says: "Squash is a game that re quires Al condition for tournament play. I’ve found that Camels are so mild I can smoke all I want, and they never upset my nerves or get my wind. That’s what I call real mildness 1” Dick Shelton, world-champion steer dogger, says: "I must be sure the ciga rettes I smoke are mild. Camels arc very mild—don’t get my wind.” And those two brilliant golfers, Denny Shutc and Helen Hicks, have come to the same conclusion —"Camels do not get my wind.” How this mildness is important to you too! Camel smokers can smoke more—and en joy smoking more, knowing that sports champions have found Camels so mild ! YOUR OWN PHYSICAL CONDITION is impor tant to you too. So remember this: Camels arc so mild you can smoke all y ou want.
