You have shown that you can't pass fair judgment upon hot controversial issues. You have demonstrated that you can form fair minued evaluations of more or less remote moral and religious cpiestions, but your partisanship be tiay., itself when you approach the burning political issues that arc raging around us today.” Such is the gist of a lecture which might have been delivered this morning by Dean Eric VV. Allen to the 25 members of his class in "Investigative Methods of Editing.” The lecture will not be delivered. Dean Allen gives us permission to announce, for the editing class in an "Arguments Test” taken recently has educated young men and women in their approach satisfactorily demonstrated the fair-mindedness of not only to abstract social and moral problems but to such a living issue as Landon versus Roosevelt. ETURNIJ'JG from Europe where he had been able to regard the American political scene from across the Atlantic’s cool expanse, Dean Allen fell to wondering if political campaigns were really educational, if the American electorate could really | make intelligent political decisions in the turmoil of charges, denials, boasts and promises that marks the current presidential contest. He determined to find out by using the test employed by Goodwin B. Watson, Columbia professor of psychology, in a survey of public opinion made in 1927. The test dealth with such religious issue as im maculate conception, Buddhism, efficacy of prayer and life after death; such social questions as the value of higher education, dancing, divorce, profit sharing in industry, child labor, and the Ku Klux Klan; and such questions of political interest as socialism and the diplomatic recognition of Soviet Russia. The capping political issue was, of course, the presidential campaign, added to the Watson test by Dean Allen. T? ACH of these subjects was posed as a question with six arguments on different sides listed beneath. The student was to indicate whether each argument was ‘‘weak” and unimportant or "strong” and worthy of consideration, regardless of his own personal view. Some of the arguments were “weak”; some were "strong.” In socring the test it was assumed that a student who marked as “strong” all the argu ments on one side of an issue and “weak” all argu ments on the other side was allowing his judgment to be impaired by partisan considerations. Results of the test show that on almost every question students were willing to concede weight to the arguments of both sides. On only four questions out of the thirteen wes there any exhibi tion of bias or any indication that the issue was considered an “open and shut case.” npHE editing class is composed of representative -*■ University seniors, with perhaps a sharper than-average interest in current events, but prob ably with no greater background of knowledge in philosophy and the social sciences than upper classmen in other schools. It would be interesting, however, to see this test given among a wider range of students to determine the difefrenee such fac tors as class and scholastic interests might cause. It is reassuring, nevertheless, to see an indica tion that the greater number of educated young men and women approach the problems of life and the spirit with logical dispassion, even in such times of mental confusion as these of our quad rennial mud-fight. The Lecture That Won’t he Given T'vEMOCRAOY is fighting a desperate battle to day as fascist mercenaries press on toward Madrid. Fascism, unholy tyrant of western Europe, is a grim spectre to the workers and farmers of strife-torn Spain. Perhaps one can better under stand what fascism means for the masses when he realizes that Spanish loyalists are “fighting to the death" rather than give up their country to the ruthlessness of the authoritarians. From mill and factory, farm and field has come the civilian militia to give its all for democracy. What hope has the wake-worker, the mechanic, the clerk, the tiller of the soil, if the black night of fascism descends upon him ? Feudalism at its worst was never like this. And we, so smug, we who love peace, can we understand why these brave men and women will brave the horrors of war and death to defeat the advancing swastika? Loyal citizens of Spain, we are not radicals, wy are not warriors, but today we extend the hand of hope to you. May the fascist horde never stain the streets ol Madrid with the blood of your inno cent citizens. Have courage. To fight for what is good is noble. And you who have fallen and will fall in defense of democracy, you will not have died in vain. Faculty Bull Session By HOWARD KESSLER This is (he fifth anil finul article of a scries recording the discussion of six University faculty members who last summer traveled in Europe.) After more than an hour's bull session, the observers of a conti nent that, on the surface appears to be normal but is politically in turmoil, were willing to disclose i few impressions of the situation. Hollis: 1 believe tliaL Mussolini knew what the internal condition of England was when lie hewed to the line on the Ethiopian conquest. He knew that the English govern ment would go to any lengths to avoid a war that could only harm] its power. J orit's on tin* linn ('lark: It was unbelievable to nn to see the overwhelmingly Tory government of England backing down to Italy on sanctions. Hollis: And it was almost unbe lievable to see labor backing up j sanctions. f.'lark: The most alarming con-1 dition I found was class feeling. The Times, Post, Telegram, and ether London papers sympathise with the rebels in Spain, and the. Baldwin government quite evident ly wants them to succeed. On the other side are the laboritcs. Hollis: In my opinion, the only] way in which arms can be kept out of Spain would be to close the ; Portuguese frontier to Spain. And England isn't showing an ulaeritj ia carrying out such a blockade. O'Connell: While it is quite true, as Dr. Clark says, that Baldwin and many other British seem to be morally supporting the fascists in Spain, isn't it true that Sir Os wald Mosley, the English black shirt, was stronger a few years ago. before recovery began in England ? Washke: Certainly, however, there is much class warfare in England. Schumacher: I thought England was opposed to the fascists, and more inclined towards the govern ment in Spain. Communists in Control Hollis: There's no doubt now. though, that the Madrid cabinet is controlled by communists. That tends to alienate British sympathy. Washke: We met a lady on the Aquitania on the May home, who had been taken out of Spain ill a Herman Junker plane and ar American Mar ship. She main tained that (lie government, if it Mas not actually communist, cer tainly included the communists. Reporter: What is the English view as regards France and Ger many? Which country do they prefer? Clark: The majority are pro French and pro-Russian. Hollis: Don't the English hate the French ? Clark: Yes, they dislike their temperament, but politically they are akin. O'C'omiell: H u u t li e r explains that the English like the French or the Hermans, depending oil po lities! poln y at any time. Clark: When another wai does come. I believe the outcome will depend on England. II r !a>vv England Schumacher: Yea, and the na tions know that. Which is the rea son for their ogling Great Britain for its support. Russia can’t do anything alone. Any action will be up to France. Clark: 1 cannot sec how France can stand for a fascist state in Spain. It is my belief that she will do something to prevent such a government taking office. Washke: Well, 1 wouldn't be sur prised to see a war soon in Eur ope. The vast armies will become discontented if they have nothing to do. and to keep their power in the face of rising discontent, the dictators will incite war. On this solemn thought the fac ulty bull session disbanded. Pastiiu" Slum (Continued from ['Ofje one) ing (the state oft Washington un favorable publicity throughout the United States,” Governor Martin said last night that charges of racketeering and lawlessness in the state are “blastings false and ma- ' 1 i c io us iy in sp i red. ” Answering criticism for lack of action in the Seattle Post-Intelli gencer strike, the governor do- i elated the P-I docs not want to1 open under force but will "wait un til it i.- removed from the unfair I list." Suicide l eap A young couple, each about -o. leaped together from a tliree-story hotel window in Seattle last night in what appeared to be a suicide pact. The husband, P. M. Manning, died instantly, his skull fractured, rho condition of Mrs. Manning. THE CLEAN-UP COMMITTEE Hop’s SKIPS& JUMPS | HAVE a suggestion. By all the 4 laws of human nature there should be lots of folks around this campi what think they can write. They get ideas and think they’re wows. But right there inertia set3 in and that’s all that’s done abou^ it. Now if they were offered at least a chance to see some of that stuff in print, is it not possible that something worthwhile would be forthcoming? In which connection I suggest a literary section of our Oregana in which would be presented the brain children of members of the graduating class, if any, and others who might be urged to submit stuff. For instance there’s my sonnet. In ilie dim distant future I can see myself pointing with pride if not viewing with alarm a piece of my work print ed in the yearbook of the class with which I graduated. I don’t mean either that this sec tion would be simply a place where people could toss stuff for lack of room anywhere else to put it, but a place evidencing a policy of se lection which' might even tend to make it a very brief section. Short stories, poetry, articles, even a short play all would be a distinc tive artistic addition to the year book. I sincerely do not think it would detract from the point aver age attained by the Oregana in na tional competition, which would probably be the most potent factor, voiced or unvoiced, thrown up by the opposition. Besides, you could say to the babes come up an’ see my literary efforts some chime. sj: sj: T ONCE had a prof who said that sense of humor meant the abil ity to stand off and sort of "get” yourself from a distance. Now i know that a great and driving in terest in campus affairs is a com mendable trait and the old fire in there is much to be lauded. 15ut isn't it a hit sad when some of our ardent protagonists seem to build up their entire world around such stuff? I mean lots of people on this campus don't really give much of a hoot and they wonder what's all the shooting and shout ing about. So if the boys would just give a look in their own direc tion now and then and then if they don't think it's funny get in and go. On the other hand it all they want is to see their names in print, there’s an old saying. I’d remind them, whieh starts thus ly: “Fool’s names—” now in King County hospital, is critical. No suicide note or identifying papers were found by investigating officers. Hitlrr's Peace Plan Definite moves toward a Franco German accord, including Italy and Great Britain as guarantors, were reported to have been made by Vdolf Hitler last night. The agreement would be virtually a second Locarno pact, replacing the Locarno treaty which was first scrapped by Germany in her remil itarization of the Rhineland.

Wodehouse's “Thank You, Jeeves,” which is recommendation enough that it will lay you on the carpets, is double-billed with “Pig skin Parade.” Wodehouse will be remembered as the satirical auth or of “Leave It to Psmith” which was presented before student audi ences two years ago from the stage of the Guild theater under the tu telage of Mrs. O. T. Seybolt. * * H’ The Rex is being used as a re serve for the crowds which flock to the McDonald and is running the same program except for the rally. * * * A super drama of the west, “Oh, Suzannah," is running at the Hei lig. Gene Autrey is cast as the singing hero of the range. “A Man Who Lived Twice,” completes this double bill. Starred in this melo drama of a dual role are Ralph Bel lamy, Isabel Jewell, and Marian Marsh. Mayflower's bid for campus pat ronage today is a good old-fash ioned single bill program, “Early to Bed.” Yes, students, when you’ve seen the one feature, you're through, ready to return to your room for combats with the texts, hours ahead of time! Co-starred in this mirthquake are Charles Ruggles and Mary Boland. I NATIONAL SECRETARY HERE Hayes Beall, former secretary of the national Methodist board of education in Chicago, arrived on the campus last week to begin his new duties as director of Methodist student activities, replacing Doro thy Nyland, director for the past six years, who returned last Aug ust to her home in Illinois. Mr. Beall, a graduate of Willam ette university in 1932, attended Yale divinity school three years, getting the degree of bachelor of divinity in 1935. Since then he and Mrs. Beall, also a. Willamette grad uate, have been working for the Methodist board of education in Chicago. The couple will remain here for at least a year. Mail the Emerald to friends. Tune ’er Out...

The so-crewy headlines yester day reminded us of an incident the journalism prof tells: One of the cubs on an Oregon paper, evident ly weary from typing a long list of names, added this note to the lino type operator: “put ’em in.
