No Icy Dunking!
'TRADITIONAL mounrners of (lie passing
of traditions were given another beef last
weekend when frolicsome, hewliiskered sopho
mores decided not lo dunk their beardless
brethren in the anarctic waters of the mill
race.
Although it was artfully announced by
the soph vigilante committee as an act purely
and altruistically designed to aid health ser
vice workers in their battle against the cur
rent wave of “flu,” it is more likely that the
decision was prompted by the University ad
ministration, who in late years have frowned
more and more on hazing—especially the sort
of hazing, like mid-January mill-racings, that
might result in injury to its victims.
Whoever gave original impetus to the
decision, it marks another welcome crisis in
fife last lingering of mill-racings and other
traditional puitive tricks.
The attacks on hazing have had an over
greater telling effect on the ancient institu
tion.. We can hardly wait for the last spasm.
Education for Marriage
ALL the things about which today's
generation is apt to become smug, per
haps our educational system is (he most like
ly. Which is all right.
It is quite indisputable that the educa
tional set-up has taken huge strides forward,
and that opportunity is given students of real
ability that lias never before been offered.
Along with this; there lias been an attempt to
change the curricula to conform with chang
ing trends of thought. Is very year we get
further away from the stodgy confines of
the three “ li’s.”
Students learn to become artists, business
men, dramatists, educators, and .journalists.
They learn, in fact, a great deal about how
1o get ahead in their chosen vocation. Hut,
surprisingly enough, in a world which prides
itself on its advance in almost any field you’d
care to mention, the vital problem of the
most intimate human relationships is still
badly neglected.
# * *
pivlOI’A RATION' for the one tiling which
almost every college student will face
marriage is left to elianee. And so, bright
young things that they are, they go out into
the world, perhaps aeeoniplish some degree
of financial sueeess and, in one ease mil
of si\, make a royal mess out of their married
life. In a day when youth is bettor prepared
than ever before, theoret ieally, to meet life 's
problems, the shadow of divorce grows men
acingly dark.
Stronger than the need for abstract, often
useless, knowledge is the need for instruction
in how to manage the marriage relationship,
when it comes, in a sane way. For upon its
sueeess depends much of I ho indi\ idled \s hap
piness and adjustment to life.
# ■# *
r ( '1 i K presentation of the love and marriage
lecture series on this campus now is an
attempt to meet that need. It is an effort to
help the student to achieve a clearer, saner
viewpoint; to answer his questions, and to
direct him towards a course of action which
will enable him to get the most out of his
marriage.
The advantage of education along other
lines has been recognized and eargerly ac
cepted, often in connection with things not
vittaly important. Surely the advantage ot
education for one of the most important
things in life, marriage, should he accepted
as eagerly.
Men and Nations
By HOWARD KESSLER
All, yes. Our hero, Adolf, had just failed miser
ably in his entrance examinations to the Vienna
architectural school. Or he had been highly com
mended. We weren't quite sure, since Rudolf
Olden wrote the former story in his biography
“Hitler;” while Heinz A. Heinz related the latter
in his biography, "Germany’s Hitler.'’
Both men are German journalists, both men
are able to cipher, but one of them is simply
currazy.
To continue:
Heinz: “The work was hard, and for five solid
years Hitler never knew what it was not to go
hungry, daily.”
Olden. “He can have been at work for no more
than a few months, perhaps weeks.”
Heinz: “We get the impression of a fearfully
serious and responsible-minded young man debat
ing these things as youths of his age in England
might debate the chances of the cup-tie.”
Olden: “It is the picture of a young man who
even before he was mature had already lost his
grip, of a man declassed, who, arrogant and un
certain at the same time, could not harmonize his
ambitions with his opportunities,”
Heinz: “‘Whole week.; would go by without
Hitler so much as budging out of the house. He
camped in his room like a hermit with his nose
stuck in those thick, heavy books and worked and
studied from morning to night.’ ” This from his
Munich landlady.
Beer Hall Politician
Olden: “He was now> able to indulge his elo
quence around the beer tabic. He preached his
political theories to his casual neighbors in the
beer halls without arousing offense.”
Heinz: “‘Yes, yes, Hitler was always the one
to buck us up when we got downhearted: he kept
us going when things were at their worst. Often,
he would take another man’s place if ho could . . .
preferably a family man’s . . . and volunteer for
the extra dangerous job in his stead.’ ” This from
a war comrade, Ignatz Westenkirchner.
Olden: “Hitler was a crank. He behaved quite
differently from the other soldiers. Hitler was
not among the storming front rank. He palpably
spent the entire campaign as an orderly with the
regimental staff.”
Heinz: “A band of hefty and enthusiastic young
supporters were specially told off by Hitler him
self to keep the doors, and to act as ruthless
chuckers-out. at the veiy first sign of disorder.”
Olden: “Truckloads of yelling young bullies . . .
every entrance to the meeting was guarded In
groups of these violent young men. Hitler picked
out bullies and rowdies with a natural leaning to
violence.”
Heinz: “'People needn’t wonder why we love
the Fuhrer. He was always for us small folk. He
never had no time and no wish to think of him
self.’ ” So says Frau Schweyer, and relates a
heart-warming talc of Hitler’s gratitude and ap
preciation towards his friends who gave hirn a
little food after his release from Landsbetg
prison.’ ”
Olden: “Blit it is altogether doubtful whether
he has ever shown much gratitude.”
The Putsch„ 192;!
Heinz: "Hitler’s immediate neighbor being shot
dead dragged him to the ground in falling, severe
ly wrenching the Leader’s shoulder . . . Hitler’s
chauffeur found him somehow, and with scream
ing brakes brought the car to a standstill beside
the fallen Leader. Hitler dragged himself to his
knees . . . and then on to his feet . . . one arm
helpless . . . and was making to get into the car
when he blundered over something in the way. It
was the body of a boy, bleeding and senseless.
“Hitler caught it up as best he might with
the arm still sound, and dragged it to the car.
ami was shoving it in when one of the police
sprang forward with his weapon levelled. Hitler
thrust the boy behind him, to cover him with his
own body. In the nick of time lie gained the
automobile.”
Olden: “At the first shot Hitler hail flung
himself to the ground, lie sprained his arm, Imt
this did not prevent him from running, lie found
his ear mid drove into the mountains.”
With respect to the story recited above, Herr
Olden writes: “Not a word of all this is true;
this does not prevent it from becoming part of
the National Socialist mythology."
Which all goes to show that no matter who
owns it. a male bovine is still just a lot of bull.

BIGGER AND BETTER
To the Editor: To keep the record straight, I'd
like to say that the other day l allowed myself
to be misunderstood by your Emerald reporter,
and the result was a statement unfair to diction
ary salesmen and their good. What t thought l
was telling the reporter was, that the smaller dic
tionaries were of little value aside from providing
the spelling and pronunciation of words; I do
not recall saying that the small dictionaries "con
tain nothing of pronunciation." This, obviously,
is incorrect The salesmen, too, 1 am informed,
are chiefly concerned with vending a very re
spectable abridged i ictionary for So.00. The one
point, however, that l intended to get over was
correctly reported: The smaller books can't tell
us enough about the words. A big dictionary is
to a small one as a modern refrigerator to a little
old-time icebox My newswritiug students report
ed Thursday that almost all of them have dic
tionaries, most of which they brought with them
to the university. If this little flurry contributes
to the encouragement of the dictionary-browsing
habit, it will not have been in vain.

by a chance remark of mine to one of our worthy
faculty members. I meant in now way to cast any
reflection upon a school so widely known as a
great University.
The work of Educational representatives of the
various publishing companies is meant to be con
structive, not destructive. These representatives
are sent out by the publishing companies to study
the needs of educational life, to seek new educa
tional books, to find out the general educational
trends and are in fact the link between the j
schools and the book makers. . . .
I note with interest the (statement of your
librarian, Mr. . Douglass. Having spent several
years on the staff of a large western University
library, I can truthfully say, "The good usage
(sic) the students of the University of Oregon
make of their library is indeed laudable."

y^BOUT “WINTERSET.”
Maxwell Anderson wrote "Win
terset" in verse because he believed
that ordinary prose breaks dowr
under emotional stress, that it be
comes incapable of expression. So
the movies take his play and pro
ceed to prove the very point he
makes.
To read Anderson’s play as pub
lished is to realize the force and
power of his, if not all, poetry.
Without this impetus the movie
becomes quite an ordinary gang
ster-revenge story.
In his preface, Anderson says,
“ ‘Wintcrset” is largely written in
verse . . . which makes it more of
an experiment than I could wish
. . . ” But that didn’t stop Holly
wood. Hollywood saw a play which
was a hit and maybe would make
Hollywood some dough, so Holly
wood grabbed it and tried to cash
in.
it was obvious that the pic
ture would have to present an
opening and I hate no kick with
the one adopted. It. should have
been obvious that, regardless of
the manner in which the play
ended, Hollywood would change
it. Blit. I’m such a sucker I went
down thinking maybe they
wouldn't, just tiiis once. But
they did.
Anderson’s play gives Alio no
miraculous, bandy escape from
his gangster friend. And lie
gives Mirianine opportunity to
prove the love she has so beau
tifully spoken throughout the
pieee. Both are killed by suli
inuehine bullets at the end.
That didn’t stop Holly w o o d
either. Hollywood had them run
ning gayly off through the rain
with the cop on the beat as the
gangster (hooray hooray I is killed
by his own gunman.
'IMIK picture just isn’t there with
out Anderson's poetry. What
snatches of it as are used seem sc
startling as to throw you off ever
further than you already arc. Mio’.
scathing speech about New York’s
finest, the police, is cut to one
third its length -needless to say
not the best third.
“The bright, ironical gods! What
fun they have in heaven! When a
man prays hard for any gift, they
give it, and then one more to boo!
that makes it useless.” This speed'
of Mio’s plops so suddenly into the
atmosphere that it means nothing
in the movie. It doesn't meat
nothing in the play.
"W internet” just isn't the
tiling for Holly wood to grasp
onto. In. the first place verse is
practically impossible, at least
thus far, on the screen. The fact
that two of t(loti's best pictures
were Shakespearean need not
change that. The first, “Midsum
mer Night's Dream,” was a lav
ish, pretentious, pageant, parked
with star-names. The second
was the oldest, most popular
love story in the world, also
ith a “big name" east. Besides,
as has been said. Vmterson w rote
“Winterset” as an experiment.
The least Hollywood could have
done would have been to experi
ment along with him.
The actors, Burgess Meredith
as Mio, and Eduardo Cianclli as
Trock, are natuVally above re
proach. The thing wasn't their
fault. Margo makes the run of
movie actresses look like amateurs,
but there is stilt a question about
her voice.
As if movie magots hadn’t done
enough they apparently shoved
“Winterset” off on their worst
staff of technicians. Time and
again Meredith’s voice is drowned
out by the swelling, stirring (yah
yah) music. And poor Margo had
but to turn away from the mike
to become quite intelligible. They
might have followed her a little
way.
All this is purely personal of
course. By all means see “Winter
set.” You may think it's swell.

Our good friend Bob Pollock has
gone out of business. That is, he
has gone out of the business of
writing this column of radio chat
ter. Studies and a job have forced
him to give up his brain child.
Poor boy.
So he up and says, “Jack, what
about you preaching the gospel of
publicity that is put out by the
various networks?”
So I says, “O.K., Bob, providing
you will act as our guest artist
once in a while.”
So here goes:
Anna Sten, that exotic screen
star will come to the rescue of
Ben Bernie and all the lads, when
she will act as his guest star for
the evening. (Guest heck! She
gets paid for it.) She will probably
do a few scenes from her picture
“Nana.” KGW—6:00 p. m.

where a popular or historic per
son is described and it's up to the
radio audience to guess who it is,
will be aired tonight with a well

answer will be Rube Goldberg.—
KGW—7:45 p.m.
How not to dig an oil well or

this evening on the Philip Morris

But that isn’t our fault . . . it’s
the fault of the NBC publicity de

As for the CBS programs, that
is something that we will have to
