All advertising matter is to he sent to the Lmerahl Husincss What Would Hon. Moore Do Other Than Talk? CARRIED away by fear that the United States will be plunged into war as a result of the adoption of a neutrality proposal intended to keep the United States out of war, John Bassett Moore, the eminent ex-world court judge yes terday blasted the pending legislation as “a cur ious blend of homicidal with suicidal mania.” The vehemence of the attack was startling, and, considering that almost any measures would be better able to keep this country out of war than the "freedom of the seas” policy that certainly was the deciding factor for our entry into the world war, the bombast was rather un warrented. In his fear that we may be ultimately in veigled into cooperating with tire rest of the -world, Mr. Moore evidently overlooks the power of more than 50 nations against one aggressor, and cries that sanctions imposed in concert witli those 50 nations will mean war. That is to take a very unflattering view of the mentality of those who control the destinies of that one lonely aggressor. Destructive in context, blaring in tone, pre senting no constructive suggestions, ex-Judge Moore's document will not help clear the issue at hand. By appealing to the traditional isolation ist prejudices of the American people, Mr. Moore has set the clock back to the time, many years ago, when American could reasonably isolate it self. That time has passed. Now, America must shoulder her responsibilities as an integral part in the world mechanism, and such reactionaries as John Bassett Moore do but retard a little longer the ultimate decision that must be made. Being a Consideration of Ground Hog Politicos WELL, well, groundhog day has come and gone, and the plump little animal has emerged for an instant, sniffed and dashed back into his pile of dirt to rub the snow off his rosy snozzle. Even so, have the plump little cam pus politicians scurried from the depths of the fraternity house den, poked their inquisitive noses into the traditional wind, and dashed back not into their pile of dirt but to begin the collection of that pile of dirt, which each spring, when suf ficiently piled, they blow systematically into the receptive eyes, ears and noses of a gullible cam pus audience. m s> w Not that the possessors of the eyes, ears and noses will complain. No, they never complain. At least, they never have. But we, in our easy chairs, and veterans of at least three of the annual spring term politicos, must rise in our righteous unselfishness and humanitariani-un and complain for the poor dears. “Forgive them, for they know not what they do" might be one way of phrasing the first at tack. But somehow that oft-quoted sophism has always seemed just a wee bit jelly-fishy to us. Because it would seem that, after several decades of vote-chasing, sidewalk-painting and speech making, someone should begin to find out just what they do do. * e * The real question, therefore, is not*“what they do’’; it is “What shall we do?” including in that vague “we” all of those who are sick and tired of slap-stick campus politics, in which candidates are decreed by fireplace bosses and the ballots of entire organizations, made up of supposedly in dependent campus citizens, are auctioned off on a block emblazened with the words “You'll get yours.” What shall we do? That is the question. It is early yet; but already the air is filled with the usual odor and the ear is filled with the usual whisperings. As things are going, it looks like the same old hokum. And it will bn the same old hokum, unless the students of good old Oregon stand up on their little used hind legs and demand a peep into the machinery of a rotten campus political system—a system born of petty personal greed and nourished by a general campus in difference. # # # And you, gentle readers, what's the use of being gentle? You can do your share in fumi gating student government. The next time the house’s Big Stick rises in the sanctity of the chapter room, and reveals that all the fellas in Rho Dammit Rho will vote to a man for good old Peter Pill; all you boys rise, also, and ask your first question; “Who the hell's Peter Pill?” If they can answer that one, there’ll be more questions coming; and not the least of them will be: “Whose student government is this, Peter Pill, yours or ours?” More Building Money? Oregon Needs Theater IF it is possible to obtain any more government aid for buildings on this campus, there is no more worthy or needed project than the con struction of proper auditorium and stage facil ities for the drama department. For many years the drama department has struggled along on an old-fashioned and entirely inadequate stage, in a small, box-like auditorium. Choice of plays has been restricted by the im poverished physical conditions in which the de partment has to work. The drama department on this campus has students with the ability to tackle some of the better and more difficult plays and directors cap able of handling them, but they cannot produce them on the dinky Guild hall stage. Even if they were able to bring the high-royalty play to the campus, the .190 odd seats in Guild hall will not accomodate enough persons to make ex penses which must therefore be paid out of an inadequate and unsympathetic budget. Were the drama department to have a modern stage to work on, it would be possible to produce, not only the classics, but many of the bright, scintillating comedies, the powerful dramas, the effective plays which have but recently scored on Broadway. Once the students were assured of a first-rate show at every production they would give en thusiastic support to the plays. The students would benefit; the drama department would bene fit; and the University could acclaim its drama as it does its arts, its law, and its journalism schools. Watch for the "Rat ’ Next Basketball Game T AST Saturday night some 3000 fans slumped on the benches of McArthur court, and booed the referee of the Oregon-Washington game until he awarded the Huskies two technical foul shots. They made them both. Now no one asks that the old Bronx cheer be completely eliminated. Such an expression of disagreement is quite natural, especially among people who are irritated, and polity about the demise of the home team. It is impossible to prevent it. Why pretend that it can be done? But tnere arc boos and there are boos. And that chorus of “birds” that held up the ball game Saturday night was of a pale, watered, and sticky vintage emanating from persons who were lacking in the elementary understanding of good taste and decorum. The Oregon basketball team had been fight attempt to subdue the Huskies. And when it ing an uphill fight in an hysterical, desperate seemed that Oregon had the Husky backing up, when the crowd should have been helping every minute, several self-appointed big-wigs let that team down in a manner that is a positive disgrace to any one who calls himself a sportsman, or a gentleman. Even when the players, after having torn their hearts out in 3d minutes of gruelling play, turned to the crowd and asked for con sideration, the crowd ignored that plea, and carried on the booing. Anybody participating in that booing could see what they were doing. They were GIVING, yes GIVING, points to the Huskies. And when Howard Hobson asked for silence, there was no quarter granted here. Who do the students support? That exhibi tion of ignorance indicates that they reserve for them.'-Ives the light to go to the ball game and beat their own team. And if anyone on this campus has this conception of loyalty, he should be "informed by those who know what it means to fight for a cause or a game and then has his constituency ‘ rat" on him and pursue its own course of excerising his lungs in defiance of u luit is right -just for the sake of being a smart guy. Watch for him at the next ball game! Bible Lecturers To \ isit Campus Milo F. Jamison, organizer of the University Bible clubs and president of the Radio Bible Fel lowship, with Xrviu T.

An amend meat was added by the coniiuitte The Marsh of Time By Bill Marsh I ■ I..- ■ .. | Scolding The booing at the game Satur day night was not only rude, but it was one of the finest displays of drivelling, yellow-backed sports manship that I've ever been dis gusted by. Granted, a foul was called which looked like a raw deal from the stands. lint the Washington team had nothing to do with the calling of jtlie controversial foul. They were merely playing the game. True, the bronx cheering was aimed, not at the Huskies, but at the referee. So be it, the fact still remains that booing, whether deserved or not, is the acme of bad sportsmanship. There’s some condolence in the fact that most of the razzing was coming from sources not connect ed with the University. High school boys, small town get-hots and other specimens of one-cell fauna were responsible for most of the reverse cheering. I saw many University students trying to (|uiet these animal-like morons down. There’s satisfaction in that. 1 hope someone up at the Uni versity of Washington sees this column. It may serve as an ex planation for the rudeness and dis courtesy inadvertently shown their team, not by the students of the University of Oregon so much as by the small town fans who don’t l like that particular referee, and who haven’t much in the way of manners anyhow. # * $ This one gets the prize silver plated piccolo for the week's out standing comeback.

NBC Plans Delayed by Death of King That the death of King Georg< V of England affects, if not th( hearts, at least the conventions o: British subjects, is evidenced by i letter received by John L. Casteel speech director, from E. D. Ful ton, secretary of the student de bating society of the University o: British Columbia. The letter reads: “We were ex tremely glad to hear from you that you were considering making £ trip north. Unfortunately, how ever, the regretable passing o: His Majesty, the King, has practi cally brought all our activities to £ standstill, for the time being any Art Appreciation Course Broadcast From KOAC “At the sound of the gong it will be exactly three o'clock,” and with this announcement over KOAC every Thursday afternoon, Professor Bernard Hinshaw’s class in art appreciation begins. In this unusual radio class, which is broadcast through the services of the extension division and spon sored by the Oregon Federation of Women's clubs, there is no such thing as rushing frantically to class before the professor locks the cloor, nor is there any praying that he will absent-mindedly forget to come to class. Members who are enrolled in the course may sit comfortably at home while they listen to the lecture and work in obedience to instructions. “Art is pretty boring when it is only talked about,” said Mr. Hin shaw, who conducts his course in a novel manner. Unlike most art appreciation courses, this radio class involves active participation on the part of those who are en rolled in it. Calling it a “discov ery” class, Mr. Hinshaw conducts it through experimentation on the part of the students, as well as by lecturing. Each member is pro vided with a certain set of mate rials with which he works while the lecturer is speaking. “Frankly, we're isolating, re stricting our study of art. We realize it is not the whole of art, simply its formal side with which we deal, for we are interested in investigating its architecture,” said Mr. Hinshaw, “we attempt to unify all art, not in terms of its subject matter or story, but in terms of formal elements which give a pic ture its mood.” While Mr. Hinshaw lectures about lines, color, light, dark, and space as architectural elements of art. his class draws these lines, ex periments with color combinations and with light and dark spacings, thus visualizing for themselves the meaning of these elements. "Lines can be life. They can be flesh and blood. Vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines all have different feeling and mood,” Mr. Hinshaw enthusiastically explained. Students are enrolled from all over the state. There are many in eastern Oregon as well as along the coast. Besides those formally enrolled a considerable number of people listen in to the lectures. Various high school classes in art tune in on this radio class every Thursday afternoon. A 75-cent fee is charged for enrollment. This covers the cost of working mate rials and mimeographed lesson plans which are mailed each week to the students. One of the greatest attractions of this radio class is that there is no conventional attire demanded. Housewives can leaye on their aprons; sleepyheads can attend in their pajamas; and even the plaid tie which came on the Christmas tree can be worn without causing acute pain to others of the class. All one has to do is tune in on the radio, use a magazine or a bread board for an easel, and comfort ably listen to the lecturer's in structions. This "discovery” class could not help but be a success! way. We shall certainly try to make arrangements, but for a week, at any rate, they must be tentative; we will let you know as soon as possible when anything definite is decided. “We may say that the earlier in March you can come, if the trip is arranged, the more convenient it will be, as our examinations will be looming large towards April 1. Meanwhile, we are extremely sorry for the delay and uncertainty, but feel sure that under the circum stances, you will realize that they are unavoidable.” The speech team of the Univer sity of Oregon is planning a trip to the University of Washington March 1 to 6, and had considered going on up to the University of British Columbia. 1 iBarney9 CLARK > The Bitter Bystander, Heeds a Coed’s Cryl Co-ed Presents Problem mMk
