Blue Note
On the Calliope
1IKE Emeralds of the past, this year's paper
-* has done what it could to eliminate the more
undesirable features of campus politics. The
manipulation of class politics by varsity bigwigs,
the practice of exchanging votes for promises of
jobs, the lack of progressive, concrete ideas in
support of candidacy, and the arbitrary exclusion
from ASUO offices of those outside the fraternal
circles, nave been attacked - with some degree of
success. Both tickets have shown, a willingness to
cooperate in solving these problems; and their
cooperation has been appreciated.
Although the Calliope column has erred at
times in its offorts to present an unbiased picture
of the political picture, it has been successful in
that charges of partiality have come from both
campaign managers—not the candidates them
selves.
* # *
Politics in itself, as it exists on this campus,
will hurt few people materially. It is fun, activity;
and it gives some self-styled Jim Farleys the
feeling of omnipotence. This is fine—if the fellows
can get a job with it.
But politics on this campus, as far as training
in civic government goes, is a perpetuation of the
spoils system, ;a a travesty on the ability and
willingness of students to think for themselves,
and is a colossal joke on the boys who are in school
for an education.
But oh me, oh my, oh lackaday! Bring out the
cars, kid the independents, watch the political
fences, dine the sororities to distraction, and
travel fast under the smoke screen of cultural
development. If this is training in American gov
ernment, then don't blame Jimmie Walker. At
least he pulled out an extra suit of clothes.
Step Forward in
Student Guidance
C'EVIGKAL years ago an advisory system was
^ introduced at the University. It was a decided
improvement over the conditions which it usurped,
but it had, and still has, a number oi’ faults and
disadvantages which limit its possibilities.
The time have come to take another step for
ward in the intelligent advisement of students,
and, with that purpose in view, the Student Aca
demic Adjustment committee, whose report will
be submitted at the next meeting of the faculty,
has been considering plans for an improved ad
visory system.
The plan which has found most favor with this
student committee, involves a full-time employ
ment of a number of expert advisors. It would be
the duty of these advisors to spend the summer
months contacting prospective entering students,
t6 advise them and suggest the courses best suited
to their abilities and desires. This would eliminate
the 20-minute advisory period which places a
strain on advisors and students alike.
During the remainder of the year, the advisors
would be accessible to all students on the campus
for consultation regarding their curricula, but also
for vocational guidance. Valuable tests and the
advice of trained educators would thus be available
to all those enrolled in the University.
Needless to say, such a set-up would, almost
of necessity, include Oregon State college and pos
sibly other schools of higher education in the state.
An important feature of such a plan would be
the encouragement and stimulation given young
men and women, both to attend university, and to
complete their careers once they have begun.
'T'HE sun, wind, and rain of a year have played
over that poor nameless waif of the Univer
sity, Anonymous field, and now finally it is to be
given a name.
Long lists of prominent alumni have been
scoured. Men have poured over biographical dic
Oh Give My Child
tionarlea far into the morning. Color charts,
botanical catalogues, history books, telephone
directories—all have been consulted, and now the
happy word has flown out that the list of names
still in the running has been narrowed to five or
six.
Happy is the committee as the young couple
who finally have thinned the field of their first
born's cognominal possibilities to Percy after
Uncle Percy, who once ran for senator or Keg
inald, after a third-cousin back in North Dakota.
And happy is the University that at last
champagne will be splashed on the home-plate of
Oregon's baseball sward.

FLAGS OF THE NATIONS
When we see the flags of nations, in their varied
hues displayed,
■Are they merely decorations on the street for
some parade ?
Are they merely stripped bunting, with an emblem
here and there ?
Just to please the eye that's hunting for bright
colors everywhere.
J. E. Richmond
When our eye picks out Ort
Glory, our emotions hold full
sway,
For we know the glorious story
that its stars and stripes
portary.
But the flags of other nations
have a story all their own.
All men thrill at celebrations,
when they see their colors
flown.
For their crosses, symbols, bars, have a meaning
they revere,
As the glorious Stripes and Stars have a meaning
for us here.
If we know a nation’s history; how its heroes
fought and died;
Know its tales of myth and mystery; its religious
and its social side.
We will realize the oneness of all mankind’s hopes
and fears;
We will strive to make conditions men have
dreamed of through the years,
When no more we’ll settle troubles on the bloody
battle field
But, in friendly consultation, win some points and
others yield.
For the future holds a promise of a time when
wars shall cease
And a better understanding will bring universal
peace,
“When the war drums throb no longer and the
battle flags are furled
In the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the
World.”
J. E. Richmond.

FUTURE OF STUDENT ACTIVITIES
REPARATION of athletic and non-athletic activ
k * ities is indicated as a first step toward greeting
the problem created at the University, the State
College, and the normal schools by the public vote
against the compulsory fee system which has
supported these enterprises for many years. Ulti
mately, it will be possible to restore a moderate
uniform fee for those activities which can be
demonstrated to have educational merit, and this
list could very well include a wide range of popu
larized sports as distinguished from intercollegiate
athletics which can depend on a “gate."
The situation is far from being dark and hope
less. The Oregon schools have an opportunity to
establish a pattern for the management of these
enterprises which will be followed in many states.
There hds been no rebellion against athletics. There
has been rebellion against a tax to sustain activi
ties from which the majority have received only
casual benefit. Time has been the most important
factor in the changes. Intercollegiate athletics
have been burdened with a large and rapidly in
creasing list of “dependents." Many worthy stu
dent enterprises have suffered from being merely
part of the tail to the athletic kite. The reorgani
zation is difficult but it is logical and for that
reason it should win wide support.
In intercollegiate athletics the Oregon schools
have an opportunity to insist on certain changes
which will improve the conditions of competition
in the entire Coast Conference. The Oregon schools
can compete with the best on any plan which
eliminates subterfuge in the procurement of ath
letes. All schools “pay" athletes. It doesn’t matter
a great deal whether athletes are financed out of
donated funds or out of the “gate." It does matter
a great deal to have uniform and strict enforce
ment of decent scholarship requirements, a new
standard of sportsmanship, if you want to call it
that, it is time to drop all pretence, if educational
institutions are to lend their names to sport. The
Oregon schools can lead in that. Eugene Register

To enlarge on statements in our
platform with regard to settling
of any controversial situations
arising, we believe that the stu
dent body president would secure
the opinion of the entire student
body by a campus-wide vote if
necessary, and not allow a small
minority group on either side of
the question to dominate the
scene.

NBC to CCC
CCC boys enrolled in civilian
conservation camp 807, Paris.
Texas, are radio enthusiasts of
the first water. They could
hardly wait to get in from work
to listen to the programs. So
Alvin O. Hue, camp educational
director, fixed it so the boys
could listen in all Ihe time.
“I noticed the boys were
greatly interested in your NBC'
(plug programs,” said Hue,
“Now I hook up a set and take
it to where they are working.
All tho enrollees and 'foremen
are delighted by the programs.”
According to Rue the radio
accompaniment has vastly
speeded up the CCC boys’ pro
duction. Not that there wasn’t
plenty of room for speeding up,
but we have our doubts. Can’t
you just see the guys swinging
their little hatchets to “swing”
music, planting conifers to the
tunc of “Trees” ? Can’t you
just imagine them trying to lis
ten to station PDQ blasting
forth with phonygraph records
while doing their own blasting .’
And wouldn’t you like to see
the results of:
I. Tuning in a program of
setting-up exercises? (Body,
not beer.)
3. Receiving a broadcast of
culinary chiropracties aVmt an
hour before noon?
3. Listening to an aerial lam
basting of Roosevelt and his re
lief policies?
What we can’t see is why they
make the poor guys go out to
work at all. If the radio dot's
’em so much good why not let
them stay in camp and concen
trate on it?

(Continued from page one)
No one will disagree with Finley
that invitations to high school
groups to hold state conventions
here would be beneficial, but the
fact still remains that this should
be carried on indirectly by the
whole student body. This problem
of high school contacts has been
taken care of adequately in the
past by the numerous rushing
functions sponsored by the Greek
letter organizations, personal rela
tions of the Oregon students with
their friends back home, the
“scouting” by the athletic coaches,
and the functions carried on by the
Greater Oregon committee.
My opponent chooses to feel that
we should not have any ideas as
to new student attitudes inasmuch
as the new student executive coun
cil may undergo reorganization.
Both parties agree, then, that there
is going to be a great deal of re
organization in the students’ part
in managing. the affairs of the
ASUO in cooperation with the ad
ministration; but I must say that
they have tactfully avoided all pos
sible suggestions for solutions in
their platform.
Thus I am heartily in accord
with the suggestions of the oppos
ing candidate, all of which have
been included among the details of
my platform, yet I feel that lit
fails to offer any constructive
method or plan by which the unit
ed effort of the student body may
be guided toward a favorable de
termination of its policies.

Visits Campus Today
C. Grant LaFarge. eminent New
rork architect, will arrive on the
ampus today to visit the school of
rchitecture and allied arts. He is
n a tour of the country during
rhich he is observing teaching
nethods and making a survey of
mtstanding schools of art and ar
hitecture.
Mr. LaFarge visited the Oregon
ampus in March. 1934, as the of
icial lecturer for the educational
lommittee of the American Insti
ute of Architects. In his report to
he A.I.A. he said, "and I shall say
hat of all schools I have seen, the
ivest, the happiest, and the most
significant—is Oregon!” He was
it this time the chairman of the
ilumni committee of the architec
mesented for the approval of the
student body. The new constitu
tion, brief and concise, has been
lesigned to do away with the su
perfluous detail incorporated into
the one now in use. Besides gen
eralizing the structure of the stu
dent organization offices of senior
man, senior woman, senior and
junior finance men will be done
away with under the new code.
Eight students were nominated

The architect will meet with the
students in architectural design
this afternoon to talk over the
general requirements for state li
censing and to talk about the work
of the A.I.A. national committee in
regard to this same subject. To
night he will attend the weekly
“open house” given for all art stu
dents at the home of W. R. B.
Willcox, professor of architecture.
Mr. LaFarge will visit the school
Thursday morning and in the af
ternoon will speak to the whole
school in the lecture room. The Al

quet to be given in his honor
Thursday night at the Anchorage.
The noted architect is a member
of a family which for several gen
erations has been famous for its
contributions to art and architec
ture. In 1931 three generations of
this talented family held an ex
hibit in the Wildenstein galleries
in New York that attracted inter
national attention.
Many notable residences and
buildings have been designed by
him. He was the architect for al
most all the stations of the New
York subway system, and for the
club house and grandstand at the
Saratoga race track. He designed
