One Plus One
/T'lIAT the world loves a lover, or however
the old adage goes, lias certainly been
demonstrated in the wide interest aroused
by the organization of the TCLACA— the
Two fan Live as Cheaply association. To a
jaded public, suffering from a post-election
hangover the affirmation of young love which
the matrimonial movement represents has a
natural appeal.
Howard Kessler, toying humorously with
the idea of banding young campus married
people together for their common weal, sud
denly realized the potentialities of such an
organization. Result—a movement that may
well sweep the country.
As presently conceived the organization lias
two purposes: cooperative effort to secure
a better life for young married couples and
a missionary zeal to show other students that
they can live just as cheaply married as
apart.
* # #
O ECRU IT 1 NO efforts of the organization
yesterday received a sly jab from the pen
of Quincy Scott, cartoonist of the Oregonian,
who mocked the idea of two living cheaply
as one, drawing an academic cupid adding
one plus one and getting one for the answer.
Friend Quincy is right, of course. One
plus one equals two. Hut he was wrong in
his assumption that Kessler’s movement is
based on that old, oft-exploded “two can
live cheaper than one” idea.
Apparently it didn't occur to him that
loving Eds and Coeds each have, incomes from
parents, from savings, from work or from
other sources. If such incomes will support
them each singly, is there any mathematical
fallacy in supposing that life will go on if
they pool their resources? Of course, there
is the little matter of persuading parents of
this arithmetic truth.
But suppose Grocer Brown sends John fifty
dollars a month on which to go to school.
And suppose Farmer Jones sends daughter
Susie fifty a month for her expenses. Ami
suppose that John and Susie arc head over
heels in love with each other. Is there any
reason to believe that the couple couldn't live
a life of wedded bliss on their combined in
comes without any greater drain on parental
purses?
No earthly reason for doubt—unless Papas
Brown and Jones cut the young lovers off
at the pockets. There’s the rub, making the
elders see the/ light.
# # #
P A RENTS could be brought to reason on
the matter if they would give heed to the
observations which the new movement has
drawn from University faculty members.
Quoting a few:
Demi Karl Onthank: “There have been
many eases in my experience where a student
has been worth very little in school until
after marriage, when he develops under the
responsibility, makes a wiser selection of ae
tivities, and improves his scholastic stand
Prof. L. Kenneth Shumaker: “I think you
will have a lot of fun and will accomplish
a {treat deal of practical value.”
Prof. E. II. Moore: “Couples who attend
university together have this advantage, that
they are engaged in a common enterprise
which assures a greater community of inter
est in the first year of married life than is
many times the ease with non-student mar
riages.”
jyAVN in the panhandle state, where the
longhorns range free, the regents of the
University of Texas last July bulldogged the
Daily Texan, student publication, and herded
it into the corral of censorship.
The Longhorn student body gave the editor
a three-to-one vote of confidence. Prominent
Texas citizens, members of men's and wo
men’s journalism honoraries, and Texas stu
dents have waged a three month's campaign
to end this abuse of the press’s traditional
rights. All to no avail.

gECAUSE he felt that the Texan should
he put “back in its place” as a college
paper, not as a newspaper with the sacred
right of freedom of expression but as “ari
index to the university,” President Benedict
requested the censorship. The Texan was hog
tied without consulting the board of directors
of the paper at all, violating a pledge which
the regents made in 1902 when the conditions
of the Daily’s campus charter were laid down.
The Texas campus is finding the bonds of
censorship oppressive in their strangulation
of free expression. After a 35-year period
during which editorial discretion was entrust
ed to the Texan’s editor, the right to accept
or reject contributions lias been taken from
iiis hands and given to an assistant professor
of English.
# . #
PROSCRIPTION of journalistic freedom is
an expression of the fascism that is now
sweeping Europe and of which the United
States is so proud to he free. It is by freedom
of the press, limited only by the laws of libel
aid by the fine ethics of the journalistic pro
fession, that American newspapers have been
able to draw a clean line between news and
propaganda and earn their enviable reputa
tion for integrity and reliability.
The editor of the Texan was chosen because
lie was adjudged capable of exercising this
freedom. Texas students have affirmed their
confidence in their editor and have voiced
their disapproval of the censorship, but the
"gag” is still effective.
* # *
JN the same measure tlfat Texas is unfortu
nate, the University of Oregon is well off.
A liberal policy of freedom of expression
within the hounds of decency and discretion
Juts always been maintained in regard to the
student daily of this University. This free
dom lias been recognized as essential if the
Emerald is to depict campus life, if its work
is to lie effective, and if its statements are to
he accepted as reliable.
in giving the Emerald free reins within the
hounds of reason the students and the ad
minist ration oi the University ot Oregon have
declared their democratic faith.
Truth can he approached in the field of
Pl,blie affairs only when no subject of public
import or interest is barred from free and
open discussion.
Passing Show
(Continued from page one)
tention of German wealth within
the Reichsland boundaries was leg
islatively strengthened yesterday
with the passage of a startling se
ries of new laws. Hitler himself
presided over the cabinet which
passed the bills.
Included in the six pieces of leg
islation was a luw setting up a
death penalty for Germans ‘‘un
scrupulously’' hoarding wealth in
foreign lands and another pushing
exploitation of mineral resources
"even when owners are unwilling
or not in a position" to undertake
such exploitation.
Not Pessimistic
Heedless of unprecedented
drouth conditions, Multnomah
county commissioners yesterday
looked into the snowy future and
ordered nine new snow pln^a.
Showers in scattered portions of
the state and light flurries of snow
in the hills above Portland gave
old-timers awed at the dry month
of November—-reason to expect a
break in the weather.
Censorship Lifted
Ttie self-imposed censorship by
British periodicals of news or com
ment concerning King Edward
VIII's relations with Mrs. Wallis
Wai field Simpson was lifted last
night with endorsement by promi
nent provincial newspapers of a
church bishop's declaration con
cerning the king,
Edward VIII, according to the
Bishop of Bradford, needs God's
grace and "some of us wish he
gave more positive signs” of rec
ognizing Uiis need. Kditorial com
ment in t Ire Yorkshirt Post said
the bishop "must have had good
reasons for so pointed a remark."
Mrs. Simpson has left London, in
favor of some more secluded resi
dence, friends reported, because she
believes her actions are being mis
interpreted.

Tune ’er
Out...
By BOB POLLOCK
Today, friends, were honest.
This is going to be tripe — even
worse tripe than it generally is.
We're in a hurry. (There's an old
and particularly apt saying we
could use here, but the blue-nosed
censor on the desk would only cut
it. Come around for a private au
dition and we'll tell all.)
Because we are In a hurry,
we’ll stick our grabbers Into the
large and sometimes juicy pub
licity envelopes dished out by
NBC and CBS and throw at you
wbat we find. First, is an Item
calling Budd on the Stoopnagle
program, vacuum-faced re
minds us of our profs, so that
stays ont. Then, there is a bit
about an eleven-year-old Cana
dian boy who conducts an ad
vice to the love-lorn column in
Toronto. Probably uses the hor
rible example theory. Like
"Look, my Mom and Old Man
got hitched, and see what hap
pened—Or, “Don’t get hooked,
pal, don’t get booked.” All of
which is publicity against the
T.C.L.A.C.A. which we regard as
fallacious anyway.
We flip some more mimeo
graphed pages onto the floor. Ah,
here’s hooey for the hungry hordes:
Kenny Baker, who was making
his living with a pick-ax a year
and a half ago, now has a home
in San Bernadino valley, a big car,
and has recently had to hire a sec
retary to help him handle his fan
mail. Me hearties, there’s hope 'for
PWA workers and journalism stu
dents.
If you listen to fond-of-hiniself
Jimmie Fidler broadcast on
Tuesday nights on NBC and won

for marriage?”
Mrs. Farr, a newiy-wed of last
Saturday and instructor of foods
and nutrition, expressed his opinion
as, “Two may not be able to live
as cheaply as one but I think they
would live more happily than one.
I am surely in favor of student
marriages. Two people should en
joy working and playing in college
life together and it should be a
fine experience for them.”
Miss Martha Mellinger, instruc
tor in textiles and clothing con
struction, expressed her beliefs as,
“It shouldn't be impossible for ma
ture college people, if they were
to be married, to form a coopera
tive system similar to the ones
nvv existing on the campus.
Through cooperative buying of
food and household equipment,
great economies are possible. These
members could study the coopera
tive forms existing in this country
and Sweden and base a system
from this."

Kelly-Conducted
Survey Shows
Voting Trends
A research on the voting pub
lic was recently carried out for
the Northwestern National Life
Insurance company by Prof. C.
L. Kelly of the business admin
istration school.
An even number of question
naires were given to six classes
of workers including white-col
lar workers, student voters, far
mers, housewives, and skilled
and unskilled workers, both men
and women, most of whom were
middle-aged.
The questionnaires were dis
tributed with the intention of
finding out the education of the
voters, their occupations, and
their interest in political ana'
newspaper affairs.
Results showed that of the
groups questioned, 89 per cent
take newspapers, while only 25
per cent attend political rallies,
and 68 per cent listen to political
speakers on radios.
Statistics also proved that 35
per, cent always vote for the
same party.
Only 25 per cent of the people
were of the opinion that the de
pression was caused by political
action.
