Worried About University?
Come’n See Us Sometime
THROUGH the soft fir boughs of Oregon’s lovely
campus there occasionally stirs a hot riffle of
wind, carrying with it words of doleful lament
about the University, that bubbling tub of social
ferment words swept from the mountains and
plains of the south and east, and sucked from
the concrete-lined canyons of the north.
Little notices of worry and anxiety fall softly
on the grass. Now comes a loud clear call for
volunteers to cleanse, cleanse forever the ettmpus
and classrooms of open, unabridged discussion.
But it dies a lingering death before the cold, stone
eyes of the Oregon pioneer, marching grandly to
ward the millenium there to rest satisfied that
he has carried the University of Oregon to the
heights of cultural, intellectual excellence.
Who is worried? Who is anxious? Is the Uni
versity a leading factor in today’s society? Has
it ever given up the task of meeting the gruelling
pace in social change? Has it ever refused its
services in building Into the social structure young
men and women with courage, knowledge and
frank acceptance of social responsibility?
Are the students disgruntled? Do they respect
the government and tradition of the United
States? Aren’t they preparing themselves for the
plunge into the torrent of social activity, to make
a living as honest, clear-eyed Americans, and to
keep this country's lace in the sun rather than in
the shadows of suppression, autocracy, dictator
ship ?
# * 51*
Of course they ARE! The students are alive!
They talk and act as Individuals. It is the job of
the faculty and all education to remove prejudice
and regimentation and bias.
Rather than hide behind the great, archaic
gob of nineteenth, eighteenth, and seventeenth
century conventions, institutions and morals, they
prepare for leadership in a changed world of
stream-lined trains, social security, Pan-American
clippers and equality of the sexes!
Students want and are getting light! When
the light is taken from the dark corners of the
body-social and the things that breed there, ignor
ance not enlightenment dominates the world.
Visit the school. Listen to the babble. Watch
the smiles go by. Then, thank God that some of
the future generation lias Its feet on the ground
and is willing to take on all comers!
A Different Type
Of Fine Entertainment
BEARING with them resounding praise from
Northwest critics as near perfect In their
fantastical, realistic, and romantic interpretations
of symphonic music, the Christensen ballet dancers
offer Oregon students good entertainment tonight
in McArthur court.
Almost since man lias walked, he has danced.
Down through the ages this expression has taken
different forms. Artistic dancers have used it as
a means to convey an emotion, a thought, or an
ide-i. The style of the Christensen balelt originates
with Nijinsky, the genius who in his prime lost
his mind and with it the capable fervor and magic
which enchanted his audiences. The ballet is an
outgrowth of Pavlowa, fragile dancer of the Swan,
as great in her field as the unequaled Sarah
Bernhardt in hers. It is created to describe, to
combine beauty and technical excellence into a
great picture.
Tonight's artists began their work in a Port
hind studio. There every day for months the cast
congregated and practiced. Day in and day out
they worked to achieve the excellence they now
can justly claim.
A different type of entertainment a program
offered by an accomplished group of artists few
will want to miss such an opporunity.
Youth Gets a Peek
Into Government Work
rt ->i IE new National Institute of Public At fairs
-* is today carrying out the wish of George
Washington as bated 111 his farewell address to
congn s to train the nation's ablest young people
for public service.
Governmental problems have become so com
plex that rigid training and practical experience
is required to handle them adequately. The era
of pute home sense Is slipping over the political
horizon and one of horse sense mixed \\ ith a strong
dose of training is being substituted.
Each year a considerable group of tire most
competent college graduates in ttie country is
taken to Washington for interneship experience
as assistants to government administrators. These
students have already received a thorough educa
tional background in public service. During their
nine months training on a $1200 or $1500 fellow
ship they act as personal aids to executive heads
such as secretary ot the interior, becoming' in
timately acquainted with the department's prob
lems.
Several times during n week these internes
attend meetings at which guest officials discuss
problems peculiar to their department... They al o
attend graduate seminars receiving partial aca
demic credit for a Ph.D. after turning in a final
report of their activities.
Upon graduation these trained young people
are in great demand for various public positions
throughout the entire nation. They have acquired
vital expeiience and first-hand knowledge of the
difficulties encountered in government administra
tion and are as thoroughly prepared to work their
way out of this tangled mesh as a clerk in public
services of five or six years standing.
The first president had keen foresight. The
public has acted slowly on his suggestion. Thirr
tardiness should be justified by greater efficiency
in youthful public administrators.
Don’t Scrape
The Moss Off
CARLYLE once said, “What an enormous mag
nifier is tradition! How a thing grows in the
human memory and in the human imagination,
when love, worship, and all that lies in the human
heart, is there to encourage it.'’
Tile University of Oregon has had her exper
iences with traditions. Some of them were found
wanting in value and were dismissed as college
badinage.
Long recognized as Oregon’s foremost tradi
tion is Junior Weekend. This tradition will last.
It should be glorified not only as a medium for
advertising the school but a splendid occasion that
is always remembered by all Oregon students.

A German Student’s
H Germany g?
By Ccrtl-Gustav Anthon
I IKE so many incidents in international affairs
J the reoccupation of the Rhineland has been
magnified to undue importance by over-anxious
journalists and Geneva tourists. The amazing
thing is tlie seemingly great astonishment on the
part of diplomats that a nation, of the calibre of
Germany, who had been expected, curiously
enough, to continue indefinitely under the pro
visions of the Carthaginian peace of 1914, would
have the audacity to reassert her “natural rights,”
when the bare existence under such provisions
was no longer possible.
Today it needs no persuasion to convince any
one of the pronounced imperialistic aims of the
allied peacemakers. There is no use to disputes
the “right” to imperialism; what is important,
however, is the willingness to assume the respon
sibility for the consequences. It is plain that the
allies committed the same error in 1919 that
Bismarck did in 1871. Bismarck seized Alsace
Lorraine, leaving an unpleasant after-taste for
the French; the allies enthusiastically dissected
Germany, expecting it to live, after a fashion,
more comfortable to the French. Accordingly,
functioning as a wholesome biological law, a re
action set in, and wholesale "violations” of treaties
began. Reparation payments ceased, a little be
lated perhaps; the army was increased, the navy
was increased, and the arrogance is unfathom
able German territory was reoccupied.
The first was tacticaly acknowledged, or
rather, had to be; the increase of the navy has
been officially recognized by Great Britain; and
the occupation of lawfully regained German terri
tority constitutes a natural step in the inevitable
order of events. This could have been anticipated
b\ the allied peacemakers when they devised the
demilitarization clause. Quite naturally, Turkey,
who had been restricted with a similar demilitari
zation arrangement in the costal regions, merrily
followed Germany's example a short time ago. But
this passed almost unnoticed, for Turkey is not
dangerous, not now, at least.
The slgnfiieance of the Rhineland reoccupation, .
then, lies not in the fact that a little strip of terri
tory adjoining France has been occupied by
troops, but in the fact that Germany again asserts
her claim to a dominant place in European poli- I
ties. The inoccupation does not connote an act of |
hostility towards France, but represents only a
minute step in catching up with the other Euro
pean powers. Hitler knows, following the teach
ings of history, especially the present, that a na
tion can “confer” far more honorably and effec
tively with a keen blade on her side, than stripped
as a beggar. One only has to study the attitude
of the lofty-minded League of Nations which has
a great deal of respect for the powerful nations
and their leaders, instead of vice versa.
The talk About war, flourishing throughout the
world, is just what it Is just talk. Hitler has not
the slightest desire for war against France at the ;
present. In the first place Germany cannot pos
sibly afford war activities; secondly, she is not '
nearly prepared to meet the rest of the world:
and finally, she would have little to gain at this
time. But the unscrupulous talkers should bear in
mind that such a multitude i f talk creates danger
ous misunderstanding tnd uncertainty in the polit
ical aii of Europe. 1 hose who advocate economic
sanctions against Germany and think they can
thereby force a downfall of Hitler fail to realize
the strong national morale of the German nation.
It takes more than a men- witholding of eeonomi
goods to extort from Germany the surrender of
her national rights.
What is necessary, then, is not a dogmatic in
sistence on the terms of an impossible treaty,
but an adjustment based on the needs of Germany,
and the granting of certain rights which other
nations enjoy amt which will officially place Get

The Marsh
Of Time
Whether you like it or not,
today’s column is going to con
cern itself with the metropolis
of New York City, and, more
specifically, with New York
street cleaning;, no less.
It .seems that the city of New
York has 5,300 miles of streets,
■which distance is equivalent to
five trips between here and Los
Angeles, California. And these
streets must be kept clean.
For this purpose, then, New
York maintains a street sweep
ing force of 14,000 men . . .
literally an army of broom
pushers. Last year this clean-up
army removed from the city
streets over 18,000,000 cubic
yards of waste.
' And they did it under the
most trying of conditions.
Motor traffic has become so
congested in metropolitan areas
that many rtf the streets must
be cleaned in the wee hours of
the morning When most of the
cars are idle. The average
sweeper, working in traffic,
spends more than half his work
ing hours dodging cars.
Even so, scores of the broom
soldiers land in hospitals every
year because they failed to
jump quick enough. The work
ers dont’ mind though. They’d
rather take a chance on getting
a leg broken once in a while
than go back to horse and
buggy days.
But the sweepers real troub
les don’t begin until winter
brings its necessary comple
ment of snowfall. A mere one
inch fall of snow will deposit
3,160,000 cubic yards of flakes
on the city streets. New York's
record snowfall of last winter,
over 14 inches, swamped the
street cleaning department with
well over 41,000,000 cubic yards
of snow to dispose of. So tre
mendous was the job that its
cost tallied up over $(>,000,000.
Fver\ winter brings out a
cron of gonuises who want to
help tin' department handle the
snow burden. Some of them
suggest underground s t e a m

lines heated to temperatures
that would melt asphalt paving
before they even got to the
snow. Last winter, one crack
pot besieged the department
with an idea which concerned
itself with hot plows, which
would dig up the packed snow
and melt it as the same time.
Parades give the whitewings
some of their toughest days.
For example, when Lindbergh
returned from Paris, the wel
come parade resulted in 1,800
tons of telephone books, ticker
tape, and papers which had to
be rempved all the way from
the Battery to 14th street.
You think a street sweeper
never picks up anything more
unusual than cigar butts and
papers. I’hooey. Listen to some
of the tilings street sweepers
had to get out of Gotham’s
lanes last year: 4,000 abandoned
automobiles, 60 cast iron safes,
several hundred radiators and
stoves, 51 goats, 2,435 monkeys,
094 horses, 46 mules, 399 cows,
10 hogs, 64 sheep, 2,181 rats,
11,302 rabbits, 3,020 guinea
pigs, 5 alligators, 3 squirrels,
681 white mlcs, 4 bears, 8 bulls,
1 lion, 4 turtles, 1 tapir, 2
'possums, 3 snakes, and 1 tiger
. . . all of said animals being
deceased, usually through vio
lent contact with cars.
Great Scott, a New York
street sweeper picks up more
game in a week than a safari
would in a year!

Han Wilde (his real name, and
what a pun to live up to) is an
Oakland boy who got his start
at Oakland’s Athens club, the
same joint which natalized Hor
ace Heidt, Tom Coakley and Del
Courtney. Has played at hotels
St. Francis, Palace, and Mark
Hopkins, and is considered one of
the most popular campus bands.
Wilde plays piano and the hand
features “sweet” music. Two of
his best attractions are Virginia
Mills, harpist, and his widely
praised sax section. The theme
song, and you inighta knowed
it, is “Kunnin’ Wild.”
They will broadcast* every

OREGON SONG SERIES*
This is the first in a series of Oregon songs representing
various periods in the growth of the University.
HELLO LANE
If you happen to pass as you’re going to class
At Deady or old Villard,
Be sure that you greet each student you meet
In the maner they all regard. (Chorus)
Don’t ask "How are you?” or "How do you do?”
Or just nod your.head and smile;
That isn't the way they do, but they say
"Hello” in the good old style:
Hello Hello,
The lads and the lasses are going to classes,
Hello, Hello,
Thev’ie passing on "Hello Lane.”
Hello. Hello
Whether in sunshine or rain.
It's the one friendly greeting
That they use as they’re meeting—
Helio, Hello!

MCDONALD_"Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” and ‘ Song and
Bance Man.”
MAYFLOWER—“Don't Gamble With Love.”
Once upon a time there was a feud between two families. And
if you don't think that's enough material for a plot, Trail of the
Lonesome Pine” will cause you to change ycur mind.
You'll find real pathos in this simple story of the backwoods
which tells the tragic meaning of ignorance. But without its great
story this picture would be a screen event.
Through the medium of color photography the full glory of
the Kentucky mountains is brought to the screen. Every scene
possesses breath-taking beauty and complete color naturalness.
And to top it all, there's an A No. 1 cast with Sylvia Sydney, Fred
Stone, Fred McMurray, Henry Fonda, and Spanky McFarland
dishing out fine performances.
As a pure and simple daughter of the mountains, Sylvia is a
natural. It is only when she attempts a Hollywood version of
anger, temper, and grief, that her voice becomes shrill and squeaky.
You'l fall madly in love with little Spanky McFarland, the only
screen lover who can forget about physique, diets, exercises, etc.,
and get away with it.
“Song and Dar.ce Man” is the rest of the double bill.
