Non-Partisan Politics
''J'WIXT the Scvlla of the CPA and the
CImrybdis of failure in liis office, ASUO
President Fred Ilammond tried to steer a
course. But lie gave too hard a rudder
against the latter, and the CPA monster—
the skinny one that picks at the thin fare of
law school grades—reached ouL and took
him to her maw.
We know Hammond to he a conscientious,
hard-working student, and we know that it
must have worried him to neglect the hooks
in devotion to his student body duties. Every
one of those hours that ho spent last term
organizing and administering student gov
ernment, was an hour that he might have ex
pended in the law school library. Hours in
committee meetings, hours spent in consulta
tion with fellow students and faculty mem
bers—it’s a lot of work running this student
body, and Fred Ilammond was doing a good
job of it. Too good a job for his own ultimate
welfare.
#
# #
COME oik* said of him that lie must have
kept a chart hy which he balanced his
appointments; for certainly the plums of
patronage at his disposal did not go to any
closed circle of his supporters, as lias often
been the complaint directed at past student
administrations.
By his adherence 1o non-partisan prin
ciples in making his appointments, there is
only the slimmest chance, however, that
Hammond may have set a precedent; which
will work for the welfare of student body in
the future. We say “the slimmest chance;’’
for we are not such a gull as to suppose that
future AKUO presidents will be undeviat
ingly so impartial as Hammond.
In fact we doubt whether the precedent
set hy Hammond will hold for long. Campus
politicians are frail when it comes to cam
paign promises, and it s all too easy to dangle
the bait of jobs for votes.
m # #
^JRAVY politics will probably never be
ended with any certainty until the stu
dent electorate goes right to tin' root of mat
ters, and removes the president’s appointive
power from all possibility of abuse, l’ut a
few inhibitive strings on that power, and we
would see ASFO elections in which presiden
tial aspirants would have to base their cam
paigns on much more than a whispered prom
ise of spoils.
Hammond exercised his patronage powers
with laudible benevolence; we hope his suc
cessor, (Jib Schultz, will do as well. Bid we
want something more certain than preced
ent ; we want a plan based on something
more of a surety than the character of the
elected officer. And now, before the heat of
campus politics is fanned into its annual
blaze, is the time for such a plan, to he
dev eloped.
Greeters Committee
J^KW ANl'O President Schultz seems tu
lie attacking his work with a great ileal
of vigor and enthusiasm. And most of his ef
forts are apparently directed along progres
sive lines for the betterment of the student
body and the University. The new proxy
has a hi;;' job on his hands. There is much to
he done. For the next few days steering: tlie
ASFO meiubership campaign will no doubt
keep him quite busy.
But tis soon as routine business etui be
cleared up temporarily there is something
which should be done. For years campus
politicians have promised student voters
that upon their installation, a welcoming?
committee for official visitors and note
worthy campus guests would be provided.
The Emerald recalls hearing members of
both political parties last spring? assuring
their listeners that such a group would be
organized.
Lack of a committee such as this to make
guests here feel welcome is a serious de
ficiency of tin1 University. Other schools in
the state and throughout the country
virtually meet their important guests with
brass bands. Oregon students would also be
quite Milling to play the gracious host, but
there is no machinery set up for them to do so.
Here is an opportunity for President
Schultz. Administering his office with the ef
ficiency expected of him, he can easily s,-,
that this committee is provided for. Students
would be surprised, but gratified, to see a
perpetual campaign promise lived up tu In
one who did not even make the promise
himself.
Sports on The Upgrade
I?ROM recent happenings in Oregon's atis
letie world it .appears safe to judge that
Wcbfoot sports are definitely on the upgrade.
Frist came the announcement of 1 he plan to j
lift Hayward field out of the mud, and now j
the long-awaited appointment of a capable |
backfield coach has been made,
For years Oregon 's lines have been among j
the best, hut only occasionally has the back-1
field sparked in accompanying manner, inn
ing flic season past, with no backfield coaeli
at all, the weakness of the backs was appar
ent to all. And even in the days of Kit/.miller !
the backfield did not function in too out
standing a manner, for Kitz was obliged to
spend much of his time with other duties.
* *
rJ'41E appointment of “ Iron Mike” Mikulak.
famous spearhead of the renowned
“cruncher play’- of the early thirties, meets
with favor from all quarters. Mikulak lias
piled up an admirable record us an outstand
ing man with tlie professional Chicago Bears
during the last three years, Ih* is reported as
a smart football player, and in the school of
physical education as a good teacher.
Mikulak will be in good condition and will
know plenty of new tricks. If the boys don’t
understand what lie means and play the way
he wants them to, he is the type of fellow who
will get into the scrimmage and show them
how it is done.and he knows how. Foot
ballers regard professional football as one of
the best schools for a future coach.
Students of the "University can justly hope
that addition of “Iron Mike” to the football
coaching staff is indicative of a new milepost
in Oregon’s athletic achievement.
Men and Nations
By HOWARD KESSLER
In our attempt to be first to print with world j
events, wc are today beating the AP, UP, NEA,!
Reuters, and McGuffie’s News agencies by at
least a month, maybe six months.
A month from today, (maybe six months), your
daily paper will carry the following features. And
here's a tip to progressive editors: wc give you
leave to reprint these two stories on your editorial
page when the BIG MOMENT arrives.
The first was written by George Bernard Shaw,
well-known vegetarian, in the London Daily News
for August 6, 1914.
Now that we are at war, it is well that we
should know what the war is about. To begin j
with, we are not at war because Germany violated
any pacts.
World War, Whyf
"Our national tricn o>f virtuous indignation is
tiresome enough in peaceful party strife at home;
in war it is ungallant and unpardonable. This war
is a balance-of-powcr war and nothing else, anti
the fact that wc all have to face is that if our
side is victorious the result will be an overbalance ,
of power in favor of Russia, far more dangerous
to all the other combatants than the one we are j
fighting to redress.
“Germany with hostile France on one side and
hostile Russia on the other is in a position so
dangerous that we here in our secure island can
form no conception of its intolerable tension. By
our blindness we have brought about the war.
We have deliberately added'to the strain by mak
ing a military and naval anti-German alhance
with France, without at the same time balancing
its effect by assuring Germany that if she kept
peace with France we would not help Russia
against her.
“Is it to be wondered that Germany, with a
chronic pride in its militarism, raised to despera
tion by the menace of Russia, France and England, ;,
made the wild attempt to cut its way out, after ^
a despairing appeal to us to let it fight one to
two instead of one to three ?
“History will nol excuse us because after uiak- ,
ing the war inevitable, we run around at the last i ,
moment begging everyone no* to make a dis
turbance.”
There. Didn’t we tell you so? Cut out “secure"
from before “island" and you have the situation as j ,
wc go into tire Second World War, H137.
Number two of our ready-to-print features
is by Harold Begbic in the London Chronicle, Aug
ust 5.
j
The (.lorh ISto/is
“This war means tIn' sudden stopping of the 1
eloek by which we moderns have regulated not
only our meals, not only our journeys, hut the
habits of our minds. The big stick of brutal force
has been suddenly thrust Into the exquisite ami
delicate mechanism of civilization. Already, now
a( (his moment, civilization stops . . . stops dead.
“Religion, philosophy', literature, painting, and. i
chief of all, perhaps, science with its torch at the |
head of our hitman hosts, are suddenly flung back- i
ward; they become of no moment. Who wants to
know about immanence? Who cares to hear what ;
Bergson and Kucken thinkWho bothers about i
books and pictures? We are back in the age of t
sticks and stones, but perishing science . . . so
the struck eagle' . . . has armed us with other »
weapons; the slaughter wiit be more hideous, the i
ruin will be more calamitous, and for nobody will j
there be a crown of glory.
“Mr. Norman Angell told me this morning t
tha^out of this war ‘everybody lighting and
nobody wanting to tight' . . . two changes of -
transcendent importance will emerge. We shall c
have a Cossack Europe, and New York will hence- g
forth be the center if credit liu . n must win 1

Another million And yet another million of the e c
sixteenth-century peasants. And when it is all 1
over, those who are left will go back t - their i

perhaps millions, arc the very flower of civiliza

our common existence. We shall destroy utterly

.(range and valuable creatures whom they called
witches.’ We are destroying the brightest of our
angels.”
Substitute “Communist” for “Cossack” and use

That's okay. No charge.

TODAY’S ATTRACTIONS
MCDONALD: “Come and Get
It” and “Can This Be Dixie?”
H E I L .1 G: “Pennies From
Heaven.”
STATE: “Two Ir Revolt.”
MAYFLOWER: “Pigskin Pa
rade.”
REX: “Midsummer Night's
Dream."
Bing Crosby comes back in one
of the best of his recent pictures,
“Pennies From Heaven” at the
Heilig. Not since his first pictures
has the music been as good as "So
Do X,” "Let's Call a Heart a
Heart,” "Pennies From Heaven,”
and “One, Two, Button Your
Shoe.” Bing is given fine support
by Edith Fellows—a thirteen-year
old girl who has appeared in more
than one hundred films — and by
Madge Evans, who furnishes heart
interest for the singing star. Louis
Armstrong and his swing band
give additional entertainment.
Another cf Edna Ferher’s popu
lar novels comes to the screen in
“Come and Get It,” a fast moving
drama of love and strife in a Wis
consin lumber camp showing at
the McDonald. Edward Arnold,
Frances Farmer, and Joel McCrea
have the featured parts. “Can This
Be. Dixie,” starring Jane Withers
and Slim Summerville, is the sec
ond attraction. Critics have not
given very much in the way of
praise for this feature, in which
everything seems ,t» have gone
wrong as far as the story and the
players are concerned. The story
itself is not new and Jane Withers
is buried under such an avalanche
of poor situations she has no op
portunity to display her talent.
At the State is “Two in Revolt,”
featuring Louise Latimer and John
Arledge, in a picture supposedly
filled with exciting moments, but
with a horse and police dog taking
most of the limelight.
“Pigskin Parade,” starring Stu
art Irwin as a barefooted football
playing hill-billy from Texas, at
the Mayflower for the last times
today. Featured with him are
Betty Gruble, Patsy Kelly, Arline
Judge, and the Yacht Club boys,
who are becoming increasingly
popular.
At the Rex for the last time
today also,, is one of William
Shakespeare’s most famous works,
“Midsummer Night's Dream.” It
has been some time since such an
array of stars have appeared in
any single production. Among
those who are either starred or
featured are James Cagney, Dick
Powell, Joe E. Brown, Victor Jory,
Hugh Herbert, Frank McHugh,
Hess Alexander, Jean Muir, and
Olivia de Haviiand.
RACK STAGE: Gordon Gordon
was recently assigned as press
agent for Simone Simon . . . but
studio offiieals deny that the
script to her next picture will be
written by Arthur Arthur.

ROTC to Get New
Cadet Colonel;
Morse Ineligible
A new cadet colonel is soon to
be appointed for the local unit of
the ROTC. As Roy M. Morse,
former cadet colonel, has completed
the course in military science, he
is no longer eligible to hold that
office.
Morse completed his work and
received his commission as a
second lieutenant in the reserve
at the end of last term. He is, how
ever, still active on the campus
and will continue his regular
studies.
News of the new appointee is ex
pected from the war department
within the next few days.
