Assistant day editor: Lucille Davis Night Editors: Lew Evans Dick Lit fin Bill Davenport Assistants: Betty Bohnenkamp Anniversary of a Radical JN T1IH way of a congratulatory note to Reed college, which now is celebrating its twenty-fifth year, may we pass to them a bit of undergraduate scorn we've heard uttered frequently. It is the wise-crack inevitably vented by some sophomoric lout when a per son has ambitiously sounded off on a topic of higher intellectual interest: “Lord, man, you should have gone to Reed!’’ The Portland school may well take glory in being the butt of such a crack; for it de notes that Reed, through its uncompromis ingly high standards of scholarship and through the methods of education it fosters, has become tagged as an institution that of fers something several degrees above the ordinary in things intellectual. Reed, hi its opposition to the competitive idea in education and in the emphasis which it places upon the development of the indi vidual, has now for a quarter of a century been waging a revolution against traditional educational met hods. # # # £\UIZZES, competition for grades, honor societies, the lecture system, policing of classrooms, strict moral regulation of stu dents, and all the traditional trappings of education have been radically examined, and, where their presence or the emphasis placed upon them has been found unjustified, they have been abolished or reconditioned. (’hief pride of Reed is the absence of for mality in the struction of its students. Stu dents and teachers participate in a coopera tive scheme of education. Lectures don’t have the exclusive position that they have in other schools; instead they are employed merely to maintain a progressive continuity in the courses, -while the most fruitful work is done in frequent class discussions and in confer ences with instructors. Quizzes are rare; in their place students undertake independent research upon tehir own initiative, with pro fessorial advice and guidance. No less is Reed proud of the individual attention which each scholar receives. Edu cation is not a mass production process; every student is regarded as an individual seeking his own development, and his education is a process of individual treatment—he is not an object placed on an assembly line, so to speak, to which perfunctory touches are added. * # # y^ND THE success of Reed's educational revolution, at. which academic fogies once snickered, cannot be doubted. Every other year since its establishment it has sent a Rhodes scholar to Oxford; in fact, the last four years successively Reed has achieved that honor. As a local touch, add to this fact tins excellent performance of Reed stu dents when they transfer to the University of Oregon’s law school or medical school, a fact that is abundantly attested to in the praise that Dean Morse of the law school and Pro lessor Hears of the medical faculty give to the Portland institution. Reed may with ample justification pride herself, as she celebrates her twenty-fifth anniversary that she has persevered in her “revolutionary” ideals. She may also receive thanks from other western institutions of higher learning. Certainly, different condi tions—size of enrollment, character and needs of students—call for different treatment, and perhaps other schools shouldn t go the whole way. But, still, it can be said that Reed has blazed the general direction. IN'iml last, night was praise of Duke Ell' ington s band as a relief from more elevated aestlietie delights*— tenors, ballets, sym phonies and sueh. It was fun for a change, we admit, to go to a concert where one was expected to tap his feet. Campus Comment (The views aired in this column arc not necessarily expressive of Emorald policy. Communications should be kept within a limit of 250 words. Courteous restraint should be observed in reference to personalities. No unsigned letters will be accepted.) POOR DEARS To the Editor: If the little dears cannot be honest in a competitive world, where are they going to be honest? ERIC W. ALLEN. (Editor's note: Yes, indeed, where are they going to be honest? We accept your criticism that we missed the moral note called for. But, I in our campaign ol the past week, cheating was treateu merely as the evidence of a faulty, com- j petitive system of education for which we were ! trying to project a cure. We were by no means j trying to find an extenuation for undergraduate dishonesty, painting a picture of unfortunate stu dents caught in the meshes of an evil system and driven to cheating. What we were pointing out was not only a system in which a large percentage of the students cheat, but also a system which has an evil effect even upon those students with moral j strength enough not to cheat.) Hop’s SKIPS (f JUMPS By ORVAL HOPKINS 'J'VHE number of writers, news paper men, who have done about-faces during' their careers is surprising. Some have had com paratively short periods in the pen and ink racket, some are long time men. In recent discussions 1 liuve learned that several of our so-call ed >Jig name writers have started early to be the champions of democracy. Self-appointed champs perhaps they were, but at least the idea was there. In later years we find these men, David Lawrence, Arthur Brisbane, some others, slowly turning their eyes from the \ ista of “truth, right, fairness” as their ears detect the jingle of swell of importance and pride that comes with authority. Our latest discussion was oil Walter Lippmaii. \ Harvard graduate and one of the atknow ledge “brains” of the newspaper game, he came in for a good share of praise, much of it war ranted. lie was tile energetic one, the thinker, a driver, and, of prime importance, an excellent writer. He slashed away all the excess foliage from facts uiul set them up there where every body could see. He was another who started in to fix everything for the common man. He was going to give his all for democracy and for clean gov ernment and for the vote of the people. But after some years as a writer he changed. He began to crawl back over to where the dough was. He began to see that if the jack were distributed somebody might get part of his little stack. So far in our discussion we were not condemning Lippman for the change. The question came up as to how many jolts a man can take and still keep in there throwing them up. Some said he saw the light after a few years, that he was wrong as a young man and right as an older man; that he saw the futility of knocking his head against the side of the gas house and decide to quit. # * * J^OW what 1 have to say (as us ual, take it or leave it) is that Walter Lippman, or any of these others we've mentioned, have no business quitting as the “champ ions of democracy.” They start as liberals and wind up as conserva tives. And T say it ain’t right. The real liberal in this coun try, to my mind, is the guy who walks around the street asking day after day for u job and no go. Weeks and months, some times for years, lie looks for work and can’t find it. Now this man can't quit-he just can’t do it. If lie does, what'.’ On the oilier hand your Walter Uppinans get a good slice of the coin of the realm to defend lib eralism and after a few years with them they decide they bet ter quit. They got too many knocks, they can’t take it any more. So they lie down and col lect their healthy stipend from the other side and on the the strength of the name they have built up as liberals. The most glaring and notorious ! instance of this turncoat type was the late Arthur Brisbane. When he started out (or so I’m told) ! Brisbane was the most righteous 1 cuss that ever came round the hill. But the world in general and newspaper men in particular know how Hearst fixed that. It stands to reason that the lit tle man has a case. You can’t just j ignore that many people as if they weren’t there. And they themselves are not, for the most part, in posi tion to defend themselves where somebody will hear. That’s what the press is for. But if the $60,000, Campus Calendar Dorothy Keburn.

RIDEM RAGGED r EPISODE FOUR “On Death’s Trail” (What has gone before: Tom Masters is held for the murder of Col. E. V. I). Brophy. Chief Bargeman is questioning him when a strange voice breaks in on the police broadcast to predict the death of Din Toonids, who is also in the office.) When the ominous portent of the whispered radio message finally made itself clear to the unfriendly gathering in Barge man’s office, all eyes turned toward Toomas. There was no trace cf fear in his voice, however, as he struck a characteristic pose and said, “Bargeman, this is an outrage—an atrocity per petuated by some campus fiend on an innocent victim. What have I ever done wrong?’’ The question went unanswered. Eargeman had hurried through the door into the next office, stood there glaring savage ly at the radio for a minute, then deciding that the speaker was not hidden inside, turned on his heel and raced back through the door. "Out the front way, somebody,” he shouted. "Grab anyone that looks suspicious. That broadcast was made from right here in this building." Tom was the first one through the door after the chief and Honey Lorraine was hanging on his sleeve. "I'm going, too, Tom,” she squealed. Bargeman bounded up a flight of steps leading to the next floor and the broadcasting room. Tom pushed through a pair of swinging doors and outside. No one was on the street. He looked up at the lighted window of the broadcasting room. A second later, it opened and Bargeman's head poked out. "Around the side . . . Hurry!” came the officer's order. A half dozen long strides brought Tom to the corner. Just i glimpse he caught of a fleeting black figure before it was swal lowed up in the darkness of an alley across the street. Honey Lorraine was left standing at the ,'urb. Sho saw Tom run into the dley. heard the roar of a starting motor and the whine of second -tear as the car sped away. When •he reached the end of the alley, ill was quiet and Tom was not '.round. Hours later in Bargeman's of ice, anxiety was beginning to tell n Honey Lorraine. Her face look 'd aged. "Why don't you do something V die pleaded with the chief. "We can do nothing but wait1 iow. Miss Lorraine. Every man on he force, all three of them, are out a the case now. We ll hear some lung before long." Honey's lips quivered and she lid over and over again, "My Mm, my Tom." An extra edition of the Register-, h'.ocd was lying on Bargeman's desk. A scareline announced: BLACK MENACE ON LOOSE. Toomas picked up the paper. “Black nothing. Red, I'll bet,” he said, at the same time glower ing at Cuddelly. Cuddelly smiled dryly. “Red is your favorite color, it seems," he addressed Toomas. "Or would you rather have your coffin lined with a real dark black?” To Honey Lorraine, an eternity passed between every tick of the big clock on the wall. The telephone rang. Bargeman grabbed at it, barked hello, listen ed attentively, without saying a word for a long time. Honey Lor raine was on the edge of her chair. Bargeman said goodbye and hung up. His face wore a doleful expression as he lifted his eyes. “What is it? Was it about Tom? Tell me!” Honey shrieked. Bargeman only stared at her blankly. * * * l WHAT SAD MESSAGE HAS COME OVER THE RHONE TO CHIEF BARGEMAN? IS IT ABOUT TOM MASTERS ?

Boyer, Hollis (Continued from page one) With regard to Roosevelt's con tention that “those nine old men’’ should be put on a shelf, President Boyer commented, “we know many distinguished elderly jurists who have kept their liberal ideas after passing the age of 70 years.” Concerning the question of abol- , ishing or controlling the check that the federal judiciary has on the social legislation, Professor Hollis said, “That court is there to rule on the constitutionality of bills passed by Congress. In our country the constitution protects the minority of the people when the majority party tries to change the laws to suit its purposes. And politics don't matter greatly in their decisions. So we should de cide whether we want to keep our fundamental rights which are guaranteed only by the constitu tion.” Meanwhile, separate forces were girding for the battle in congress when the senate attempts to study the retirement-with-pay bill. At the same time the president is con ferring with various authors of I Tune ’er Out... By JACK TOWNSEND Comes the revolution! Yes, sir, after listening to lots of comments we have decided what we need in this column is a little more local interest in this daily stint. So here’s what we have thought up. Why not run a weekly poll on radio programs ? This week's will be on favorite dance orchestras. . . . re sults Saturday. To lead off with we find the Alpha Chi’s vivacious little Texan, ; Juanita Ball, takes a shine to Guy Lombardo arid to heck with the rest of the mugs. Leo (Little Cae sar) Marlantes, next year's foot ball manager, also picks Guy Lom bardo because of his scintillating rhythym. To Lloyd Tripling goes the or chids for his answer of, “I’ll take anybody except the Lucky Strike bands.” (personally we don't blame him). ‘Buz’ Bowman, Emerald ex change editor, says that for her the real orchestra is Paul White man. Maybe so, maybe so. . . . Look out we ll spot you on the campus and ask each and every one of you, weil at least some of you, so get your nominations ready, hurrryyy, hurrrryyyy.

This second reduc tion took the form of a diversion of $508,000 from the millage ap propriation to the general fund of the state. "Since that time an amount of this millage diversion has been replaced to our funds, but so far it has not all been brought back," Dr. Boyer continued. Because of the shrinkage in assessed property valuations the millage income for higher educa tion during the coming biennium is estimated to be more than $1, 00,000 below the millage income in the biennium 1929-1930. Enrollment at Peak “Along with this came an added increase in enrollment,’’ said Dr. Beyer, “and now with enrollment at its all-time peak, we are faced with this unfortunate financial situation.” For the biennium of 1937-38, 55,218,850 in appropriations have been requisted. Under existing laws the millage income will amount to $3,570,518. An amount of $312,012 is requir ed to replace the decrease in the state funds since preceding bien nium due to shrinkage in millage and exhaustion of the balances. Advancing prices and the large increase in enrollment requires $224,340. An amount of $781,580 is being requested for the restora tion of salaries and wages. The continuing appropriations for federal and cooperative exten sion and agricultural experiment stations, which do not require re enactment, total $330,400. “The solution of this immediate problem, as the state board sees it,” concluded President Boyer, “is the six proposals submitted to the state legislature's ways and means committee by Chancellor Freder ick M. Hunter. This would be our way of alleviating the condition.” KERHLI SPEAKS ‘Dees the State Government Need Reorganization?” was the • topic of a talk, given by Herman Kehrli, director of the bureau of municipal research, to the cham ber of commerce at a luncheon in the Del Rey cafe Friday noon.
