Traitors to the Cause
'yjy/'E GET awfully tired of writing about
the grass, in fact, sometimes we wonder
if it’s worthwhile. Wouldn’t it be simpler
.just to put an inch of gravel over the whole
campus and let people walk where they darn
please? We can sew Professor Cuthbert, who
is iu charge of campus landscaping, nodding
his head in weary agreement with us.
Seriously, though, there are too many
rugged individualists in this institution who
find the walks and paths not to their con
venience and who strike out for themselves,
pioneering so many new trails that the cam
pus is taking on the aspect of a rabbit war
ren.

01 Hi way tip to 1 lie basketball game
the other night we fell in behind a group
of young women. Across the diagonal path
over the flat toward Gerlinger we went. On
the terrace above the Pioneer Mother our
ways parted; for 1 hey cut straight across
toward the front of the hall, and%we—iu a
lone and probably futile gesture of rebuke—
took the rather longer right-angled way
along the sidewalk. It made us feel fright
fully righteous. But we felt resentful, loo,
at the heedlessness of students who are cut
ting that path across the frozen lawn on the
terrace there.
That action is not only heedless, hut it is
treason to the cause of this university’s
beauty, a cause that every student among
us should work unselfishly to promote.
Let’s Have None of That!
^J.ENEIIAL agreement met the recent deris
ion of the athletic activities committee to
turf Hayward field. The propeel, had almost
universal approval as being necessary and
wort hy.
There are still details to be ironed out
before the long-needed work may begin. One
of these is the ever-importaut problem of
financing. Two members of Sigma Nu frater
nity have pledged their services to the or
ganization of a drive to raise $1,000, the sum
necessary to insure completion of the work.
* * #
IF TUK Sigma Nu plan is to be successful
it must have the cooperation of every stu
dent and living organization on the campus,
its hackers are attempting to interest every
campus group and the University alumnus in
working actively.
Cooperation is absolutely necessary. The
money is being raised to give this University
the kind of an athletic field it should have
hud years ago. Because it is absolutely neces
sary to raise the money and because the funds
collected are going for a fine cause, every
Oregon student should get in and plug for
all he is worth.
This is the time for action not for Greeks
to be sucking the sour grape because some
other fraternity thought of a good idea first.
Let's have none of that!
Classic Gentleman
“JJTK WAS a gentleman."
That is tha tribute paid Frederic S.
Dunn by one of his colleagues yesterday after
lit' was buried in the Oregon earth upon
which he was horn.
That Professor Dunn was a gentleman,
even we students in a hustling age, when the
old. gentler amenities are being forgotten,
could appreciate. That gentlemanliucss may
we he pardoned—was one of the things that
made him seem a hit quixotic in our brash
midst.
Oner we wrote a story about Dr. Dutm s
participation in the hi milleuial eelehrations
of the birth of Horace, ami we were so erode
as to twist the gender iu one of the l.atiu
phrases he gave us. lie caught us on the
street a week or so later and went gently
into the subject of our error, much as though
lie were teaching a childish barbarian.
Professor Dunn was a scholar of the old.
departing classical style who believed in giv
ing the mind a broad, solid base in the hu
manities and in girding it with accurate tools
of expression. And we students in a day of
increasingly narrow specialization in training
may well suffer a twinge of regret at the
departure of one who so well represented that
old school.
Beast at Large
JT IS such a crime as the murder of the
Mattson boy in Washington that works
against the humanization of our penal sys
tem and the abolition of capital punishment.
No matter how one’s humanity rebels at the
gallows, no matter how one's faith recoils
from the notion that a man can be so evi!
the state must, take his life—there can be
little mercy for the perpetrator of so bestial,
so depraved, so needless a crime as the mur
der of that unfortunate child.
May the authorities ot all this nation know
no rest, until that crazed beast, is brought
to justice. Here is no matter for punishment.
Here is no crime for which atonement can be
made. Here, in no event, is a case in which a
criminal s social resurrection can be consid
ered.
Here is a case where he world must be rid
of a fiend.
Men and Nations
By HOWARD KESSLER
The University’s perennial favorite is back
on the campus.
He is Colonel John Leader of the twinkling
eyes and facile tongue, who has captivated Uni
versity coeds and won the admiration of Univer
sity men ever since he first appeared at Oregon
from the British Army in 1917 to whip into shape
for service overseas a thousand students with an
appalling ignorance of things military.
On Monday, although suffering from a cold,
Colonel Leader arose in time to speak for one
hour to Dean Allen’s nine o’clock class in editing.
Then he turned to goose grease and mustard
plasters.
When he recovers we hope to have a long talk
with the amiable Colonel, after which we should
like to present the views on contemporary world
problems of this expert in armies and armaments.
Just now we shall have to content ourselves !
with a statement made by Colonel Leader in his
rambling and highly interesting commentary to
the journalism students.
Inevitable War?
“As long as men will defend their women, so
long there will be wars,” said the. Colonel. “We
may be able to stop wars of aggression, or un
necessary wars, but it is silly to talk of stopping
war altogether.”
We have a dread that Colonel Leader is right.
Certainly, attempts made thus far to prevent
wars have failed miserably. Yet, if that verdict
be accepted, what hope ?
That wars can be regulated according to rules
of fair and foul? How successful has this been
in the past?
That wars may be limited to the “necessary
wars" as suggested by the Colonel? All ware are
necessary in the eyes of the armies and com
manders waging them.
For the sake of future generations, therefore,
it is worth while to determine whether wars are
inevitable or not.
“War is an effect of human nature when put
under certain conditions, but is not a fatal pro
duct of that nature.” This from <i. I.awes Dick
inson, noted professor of economics. He cites the
seven causes of war, such as wars for subsistence,
wars for territory, for soldiers, for safe frontiers,
to spread civilization, etc.
Finding a Substitute
"The civilized nations can be saved from war
by political and economic action. The struggle1
for power will always exist. It is a question, as I
William James puts it. of finding a substitute for i
war.” So write Major K A. JUratt in his "That 1
Next War?" And continues:
"The study of peace as a positive state of
being is still in its early beginnings. For ages
wav has been studied intensely. For a few cen
turies the possibility of non-war was vaguely
dreamt of, and it has been tentatively organized
since 1919. But the conception of peace as a last
ing condition of mankind is hardly older than the
renunciation of war by the Kellog pact.”
Concerning inevitable war. Colonel Loader’s
compatriot, Sir Norman Angell, has this to say:
“Which war? Any war proposed at any time
b\ nn> irresponsible newspaper about anything?
Plainly some wars can he prevented. Further,
militarists don’t believe all wars are inevitable
beeuse they urge more armament on the ground
that that will help to preserve peace.
"Disease is inevitable, but we have eliminated
ancient pestilences like the Black Death, bubonic
plague, leprosy, cholera, by better sanitary mea
sures. The measures sometimes fail; we don't
thereupon abandon them; we stiffen them. Our
national constitutions sometimes fall to prevent
civil war, but we nevertheless know that constitu
tions are better than making every election a
civil war."
Wo would like to believe that wars can be
prevented.

Sure by nature, we could never
see “sermons in stones, books, in
running brooks, or good in any
thing" if we may paraphrase the
immoral bard. But today we have
a reason for a plug for weak, one
lunged KORE. It is their “What
Lane County Thinks,” a street poll
conducted for fifteen minutes or
half-hour each day.
Of course they drag in a good
many yokels during the course
of the program who are not en
tirely certain that they do think,
hut occasionally a few really in
t e 11 i g c n t remarks trickle
forth. Only unfortunate thing
i about the hour is the fact that
i the mercenary management has
to have its pound of flesh, and
so insists upon advertising spe
cials in tootii paste, and women’s
wear. Fashion note on women’s
wear: there have been fewer
dimpled, dainty, and uncovered
knees since the recent cold snap
. . . and fewer chilblains, our Pi
Phi spy tells us.
And then there was the fresh
man woman who blundered into
Dean Allen's austere editing class
|. . . silenced—for once—by the pro
: found and slightly musty air of the
! place, she sat for 50 minutes con
vulsively clutching her pocketbook
and compact . . . afterward she
could remember nothing but that
“they used Time magazine for a
textbook!”
Martha Kaye, the so well
stacked k;U in College Holiday,
is almost as good on the air
where you can’t see the figger
as she is on the screen. Possess
ing a very pleasing voice, it is
too had she can’t use it a bit
more instead of yowling contin
uously. Sunday and Tuesday.
Worth hearing.

Dr. Marder Is
Added to Faculty
New History Professor Aims
To Become Best Hated
On Campus
The history faculty at the Uni
versity has recently been increased,
by the addition of Dr. Oscar J.I
Marder, assistant professor who
will teach Recent Russia, Europe
I since 1815, and Japanese history
; this term.
Dr. Marder received his bachelor
! of arts degree from Harvard in
1 1931, his masters degree, and his
doctor of philosophy last June,
also from Harvard. He was also
the Archibald Cary Coolidge trav
eling fellow in Europe for one year,
1935-36.
“it is my aim and goal to be
come the best hated professor on
the campus,” Dr. Marder declared
with a twinkle in his eye. "I pro
pose to accomplish this by having
abominably high standards, by re
quiring stiff reading assignments,
and by giving vicious examina
tions,” he continued.
For the benefit of students in
terested in the classes he is teach
ing, Dr. Marder explained that the
course on Recent Russia will be re
placed spring term with post-war
Europe; Europe from 1870 to 1914;
and the Japanese history course
will become a study of far-eastern
relationships.
Dr. Schofield to Meet

Dr. Charles E. Schofield, presi
dent of Iliff school of theology,
Denver, only Methodist theological
school west of the Mississippi, will

and the ministry.
Those interested in talking to Dr.
Schofield will meet at a luncheon
at the Anchorage at noon. Those
wishing to attend should call Hayes
Beall, 2445-J.
Dr. Schofield will visit Oregon
State, Willamette, and Reed cam
puses after leaving Eugene.
Mrs, Murray Warner
Is Luncheon Hostess
Mrs. Murray Warner, donor of
the University of Oregon’s art mu
seum, will be hostess at a 1:30
o’clock luncheon in the men’s dor

vice-president of the University.
At 2:30 o’clock Mrs. Barker will
ecture to members of the Associat
ed University Women in the mu
seum on Chinese tomb figures, a
subject upon which she has spent
much time. Recently, on a trip to
England, she gathered both val
uable. and interesting information
on this subject, one of her favorite
hobbies.
Denial Workers Request
Correspondence Course
Ten field workers in dental hy
giene from the Mississippi state
board of health in Jackson, Missis
sippi have sent in a request for the

rJpHERE'S so much of the old oil
around.
One nice gentleman fails to make
>a three point or whatever it was,
thereby relinquishing his right to
be student body president. He
probably said, ‘Thank Gawd,” too.
And then the vice-president takes
over the office and probably like
wise breathes a quick “Thank
Gawd.”
So they both get out terse,
trite, stodgy, hypocritical mes
sages to the student body, print
ed in the daily blast and read by
nobody but themselves and me.
Why I read them I don’t know,
unless this is it.
Notithat the retiring prex and
the taker-over should maintain a
stony silence regarding their re
spective good fortune. But they at
least ought to put a little of the old
fire in their statements. For one
it’s maybe the last time he'll get a
chance to yap at everybody in gen-,
eral without somebody taking the
blue pencil to it; and for the other
it’s a rare chance to demonstrate
that his will be no stilted reign,
but one in which “things will be
different.”
jpor instance why couldn't retir
ing headman come out with
something like this—brief but to
the point:
“Well, I failed to make my
grades and now I ain't president no
more. Believe me I'm glad of it.
Such a bunch of ungrateful, non
supporting wretches I've never
seen. What do I do—I try to get
around and be one of the boys and
keep up the spirit of the moldy
place and what happens ? The profs
don't give me a break and I don't
make my grades. Rats on the bus
iness. It’s only a puppet spot any
how. He can have it.”
And then our new stooge could
whip off something tremendous
like this:
“I knew if I get in there and
made my grade point average I’d
have a swell chance to be presi
dent of this outfit some day.
Old prexy was too much of a
good-time-Charley, that’s all.
The kid didn’t have it. If I’d run
against him instead of with him
last year he wouldn’t have had a
chance. It was the kindness of
my heart that kept me from just
doing that little thing, too.
“Well, it’s gonna be different
now. If you think this school’s bad
off now, just wait till I get through
with it. Old Prexy was just a pik
er compared to what I’m gonna
throw. Watch me go.”
JJUT alas the boys don’t do it. No
spirit, that's what. Instead, it’s
“I know he’ll be a good president
and will do his best for the student
body,” and “he was one of the best
men we ever had in for the job. I
hope I can do as well.” Or some
such drivel.
Slice mine thin, Bud.
