Our Need, Their Gain
COI'PLE OF WEEKS ago we took it
spring from the topic of cheating as it
exists upon this and other campuses and land
ed over our head in the involved currents of
education purposes and how they arc to be
achieved. We finally came gasping and blub
bering to the surface with the notion that
education, if it is to by worth its salt, must
be concentrated on the development of the
individual — not upon pitting one student
against another in the senseless sort of com
petition that gives rise to cheating.
This “individualization” of education, we
declared, is to he gained, first, by arousing
the intellectual curiosity of the individual
student ; and, secondly, by instructors’ giving
attention to the specific needs of the student.
The process, as we see it, is one of give-and
take—not, however, with the student always
on the “take" side and t ho "professors always
giving. Such formalization of education must
be broken down. The professor must be on
the “take” side part of the time, receiving
from students their individual problems, and
prescribing accordingly.
jEVXCEl’T IN A RARE few instances, the
University today fails to give this sort
of educational opportunity, with the result
that on the campus an organization is now
being formed to supply “individualization"
by private initiative — a “coaching school"
staffed with upper-classmen and graduate
students as tutors. They will give students
individual instruction and arrange seminars
over various subjects, but at a price which
some students may find rather steep. Thus,
the failure of.the I niversity to answer this
vital need means money in the pockets of
these enterprising tutors who will.
One hates to throw cold water over a
scheme as yet untried on this campus, espec
ially since it has a very successful record in
eastern schools, but it is doubtful whether
such a tutoring system will fill Oregon’s need
of individualized instruction with any degree
of completeness. Chances are, the chief ap
peal of the service will be to floundering stu
dents faced with the bugaboo of exams. Thus
it may become a kind of set-up for last-minute
super-cramming on the part of sub-marginal
scholars, instead of providing for the pro
gressive development of the individual, as the
ideal educational plant would do.

SHADES OF CRIMSON
To the Editor: Yes, 1 saw rod! And it wasn't
on a corner fire-plug-. I saw screaming scarlets.
outrageous oranges, and sickly pinks, as well. And
I think it’s high time someone said something.
These girls who lavishly smear on the war paini
day after day with no thought or consideration
for us males who have to be the spectators . . .
well, something should be done. Definitely! They
certainly outdo the American Indians. A girl
should take pains to choose the right shade that
will match her complexion. It wouldn't be a great
deal of bother to find out what suited her ai d the
effort would be well spent. Would make the differ
ence between a Venus and a wild Apache in many
cases. How about it, girls? And this matter of
dabbing your faces all up to kingdom come . . .
from your forehead to your chin and around your
eyes. Please ... I beg you. Use a little less an''
you will look better. Reminds me of a verse I saw
once. Don’t remember the author. Went like this
. . . “Silly girl, what is the cause . . . Putting paint
upon the jaws ? Man loved woman years ago,
when her face was white a ; snow . . .” and so on.
Now I don’t recommend giving up the stuff en
tirely. If there’s anything I hate to look at it’s a
pan that looks as though it had been dipped in
a flour barrel . . . pale, sickly white or ashy gray.
A little coior of the right shade is swell! Just a.
little less in the future. And your paint will last
longer, your faces and youth will last longer, and
we males will last longer. I thank you.

FOUR YEARS OF HITLER
“All I ask is four years," said Adolph Hitler in
January, 1933. “Then judge us and give us your
verdict.” He added later in an interview: “. . . And
if at the end of those four years conditions are not.
better than they are today, the people may kill me,
crucify me, t-e-a-r me to pieces!” The four yeans
are over now. A survey of the German situation
reveals some startling cultural, military and eco
nomic facts.
"Rearmament and the Four Year plan have
placed a severe strain on German finances,” ac
cording to the Foreign Policy association bulletin
(2-12-37). Germany has repudiated every part of
the Treaty of Versailles; her armaments budget
mounts higher and higher, twenty billion marks
having been spent for war materials in the last
four years, according to The New York Times
(1-31-371. The Nazi drive tov/ard war already
has been concretely evidenced in Spain where thou
sands of German soldiers fight side by side with
Moors, Spanish Fascists and Italians in the Rebel
army. Nor has Hitler masked his desire for the
territory of Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Ukraine.
Culturally Nazi Germany is now almost a
vacuum. With her leading intellectuals in exile— i
men as prominent as Albert Einstein and Thomas j
Mann with books burning and a ban on literary j
and theatrical criticism, and German “culture” |
under the aegis of Herr Goebbels, a man whose j
literary efforts were mercilessly howled down by
the critics in the pre-Hitler era, Germany has
subjected the seven arts to the art of war.
“. . . The German people are having to draw
in their belts. Prices are rising and wages falling
correspondingly” (N.Y. World-Telegram, 1-30-37).
Cannons, which unfortunately cannot be digested,
have tiiken the place of grain and fats. There is
an acute grain shortage in Germany of 1,000,000
tons of wheat and 1,000,000 tons of rye. The fat
scarcity is so alarming that a plan was proposed
to scrape and utilize “drainage greases.” With
trade unions illegal, the German workers have had
to accept wage decreases, voluntary donations and
special assessments until the average weekly wage
is now approximately $11. Discontent has spread
to such an extent that a penalty for “grumblers"
is mreateneu.
The fear of Hitler policies lias caused another |
feverish armament race in Europe. No amount of ;
calling for and praising "peace” can dispel, in
Great Britain, France, Czechoslovakia anti the
Soviet Union, Hitler's determination to regain the 1
lost colonies and to "expand” in Central and Ea it- 1
ern Europe.
Four years of the Swastika have meant four
years of degradation and economic insecurity for
Germany’s (100,000 Jews. The anti-Jewish cam-1
paign, less violent and spectacular now than at;
the beginning of Hitler's rule, has been none the
less ruthless and unbroken. German Jews are no
longer considered citizens of the State. They;
cannot own land, vote or hold public office. They
are subject to attacks, both verbal and physical,
by loyal Nazis.
The mentality of the Nazi State, comments
Westbrook Peglcr, "is comparable to that of a
little boy who pulls the wings off flies and tortures
birds and frogs,” Certainly the attempt of the
Naz.i chieftains to substitute paganism and the
worship of Thor and Wotan for Christianity has
not helped to dispel the suspicion of the demo
cratic peoples of the world toward the things
which German Nazism holds dear. American

IBlack Menace
By
H. RIDEM RAGGED
> EPISODE EIGHT
(What Has Gone Before: I)in Toomas, threatened with death'byTh"'
black menace, unknown killer running amuck on the campus, is in n
booth at the College Side with Honey Lorraine, close friend of Ton
Masters, Emerald reporter. The black menace, from a vantage point
on the balcony, has succeeded in planting a small poisonous creature
on Toomas’ neck.)
-“Escape” -
Honey Lorraine was stricken with sudden terror as she saw
Din Toomas shudder once, then slump down lifelessly in hi:
scat, his eye3 glassy and still transfixed on the spidery creature
which his foot had smashed on the floor.
Only one other in the room knew that anything out of the
ordinary was happening; the mingled babble of conversatior
and tittering laughter did not stop until he, Tom Masters
pointed to the monarchial black figure on the balcony.
“Guard the doors! Don’t let hfn
get away,” he shouted as he dart
ed from his booth toward the stair
case.
Pandemonium broke loose; whili
women screamed and men gasped
all scrambled into the aisles in i
mad rush toward the door.
It was but a second later tha'
Tom reached the balcony, only t<
find the hooded one had vanished
There could be only one avenue o:
escape, he thought, and ther
screams from outside told him lit
was right—the front windows.
rt was more than a fifteen fool
drop to the sidewalk, but it was
not enough to keep Tom from div
ing out in pursuit of the myster
ious killer whose capture had now
become an obsession with him.
Crowds gathered on the side
walk and hustling across th<
street toward Bayler’s indicated the
fugitive’s path of retreat.
“He can’t possibly get away,’
Tom assured himself, but when he
arrived, panting at the rear oi
Baylor’s, no trace of the killer was
to be found. A throng of curious
excited people had gathered at the
spot where it was agreed he had
last been seen. Theories no end
Tom heard from the wide-eyed on
lookers.
“He climbed in the co-op win
dow, I'll bet. Wouldn't be sur
prised if it was this Cuddelly guy,
after all— ”
“What happened?"
"Maybe he’s hiding in Bayler’s
kitchen. Suppose it could be old
Bayler himself?”
“What happened?”
"Just an Emerald pubilicity
stunt. I saw ’em rehearsing it yes
terday.”
"Somebody lost something?”
“It was like this— I saw the
whole thing—”
“What happened?”
After an hour of snooping about
outside the co-op house, Tom was
forced to admit failure and joined
Honey Lorraine in Bayler’s where
she had been waiting for him.
"I wish you’d forget about this
olack menace, Tom,” she pleaded
when he had settled down in a
oooth with her. “It's dangerous."
Tom smiled, looked around fur
lively, then leaned over the table
toward Honey. “Just between you
ind me, Honey, I’ve got a plan
that I think will end the black
nenace forever, (applause from
readers). It's just a hunch got
t from a remark that was made
nit there while the trail was still

Tom stopped as a nattily dressed
,’oung mail stepped up to the table.
"1 heard you talking about the
nenace," he said. “I'm only a
Teshman here and don’t know
nany of the people on the campus,
mt I think I know who this black
nenace is."
“You do?" Tom breathed.
“Yes sir. I’ve been thinking it
wer ever since that general from
he University war department
vas killed," the informer eontinr
ted. “It’s so simple. I'm surprised
-omebody hasn’t discovered it be

"Yes, yes, I’m listening. Who is

"Well, there’s a paper here on

By ORVAL HOPKINS
HERE'S a lot to be said foi
eating and food. I’ve always
been suspicious of these individuals
who claim they don’t like to eat
just do it out of habit. Such a
person will often turn out to b£
a cut-throat and a thug, you'll find
On the other hand the good
solid jam-it-in eater is nine times
out of ten our jovial lad, the good
egg, often a connoisseur. He be
gins the day with a huge break
fast, corisumes a more than ample
lunch, sits down to a sumptuous
repast in the evening. He then is
able to retire and sleep the sleep
of an honest gourmand.
Of cohrse there are ways and
ways of eating. Some go about it
,in a manner to simply satisfy their
physical craving. Others make it
a work of art.
T^'OVV my dad is one of our
^ more meticulous crammers
Of the hatch. He always stands
around for a few minutes after
the meal is served (and don’t
think he doesn’t hear about it)
in order to catch the aroma of
the steaming dishes. If it’s sum
mertime and there ain’t no
aroma he stands around and gets
the cool look about the lettuce
and listens to the clink of ice
in the lemonade pitcher. During
these periods of aesthetic enjoy
ment his thoughts are often dis
turbed by sonnds of my being
upbraided (seldom justifiably)
by my small sister.
At length he gets down to the
serious business of the meal,
however, and it’s little short of
a ritual with him. 'There is noth
ing, absolutely nothing, that my
dad does not cat and enjoy. He
lays claim to a violent hatred of
jelio, but we always scream him
down when he mentions it. Mat
ter of fact he spend a good part
of his time in research work,
seeking out strange foods in the
faint hope that there will be
something he will dislike but
will force himself to learn to eat.
Next to me, that’s his top pride.
On second thought, I come after
the eats.
J'M sure L. P. should have been a
great planner, a ruler of destin
ies, a justice. No crumb is too
small to be overlooked in his sys
tematic attack on a meal. Every
bite, every morsel is delicately dis
sected from its main body, com
bined with a bit of bread or a
touch of applesauce, carefully in
serted into the oral cavity. He
then lays down utensils and sur
veys the family board in extreme
satisfaction, chewing the current
bite thoughtfully.
And there's a lesson to be learn
ed there. While often I jump up
and run out while my dad still
lingers over the soup, the right
idea is on his side. No hurrying
and bustling about for him when
there's eating to be done. A time
for thought, meditation, commun
ion with one's self and one’s fam
ily is the dinner hour to him. It's
a time when the world should
stand still, when strife must cease,
when the river of life should be
at its most serene.

Action is Necessary
(Continued from page one)
peace over a long period in
Brown's opinion. "The alliance
would he perhaps as dangerous as
it seems to be helpful." he said.
"It would act as a "scare" to war
for a time, but would later resuit
in opposition forces uniting against
Anglo-Saxon domination."
Discontent Behind Fascism
Rather bitter in his attitude tow- j
ards fascism in Italy and Ger- j
i many, the speaker characterized
the fascistic trend and usurpation
of government as "A mass move
ment on a discontented youth
which had no future. Neither of the
movements were revolutionary. A
completely ruthless outfit in small
1 couhtries installed a highly cen
tralized form of government.” He
j said the result is the existence to
: day of a static condition which
i will disappear later with violence.
. Much of the other questioning
centered on the Orient, from where
Mr. Brown has just returned after
a four month's trip gathering ma
, terial for the North American
j Newspaper Alliance.
Asked what the attitude on
Communism was in China, he said
' it was his belief that Communism
|as the word is interpreted here is
! not in the immediate future of
China.
"An agrarian revolution, with
some of the earmarks of Commun
ism i3 a possibility, though,” he
added.
Chinese Disinterested
"China cannot be united and put
up a defense until a larger propor
tion of the people have a stake in
the land,” Brown continued, “They
i don’t care who they are ruled by
now. Their horizon extends only as
far as where the next bowl of rice
is coming from.”
| Later he mentioned that the
students are being responsible for
doing away with a part of this nar
row, "bowl of rice” horizon. These
I students are sent out to harangue
1 the people and promote anit-Jap
| anese feeling, but they see how
bad off the country is and are try
ing to remedy conditions by pro
moting education for all.
In turn, they have been greeted
by a responsive demand for educa
tion that is leaving them flabber
gasted, Brown said. Chinese who
two years ago couldn’t be bribed
to attend classes now fight to get
in school in an almost incredible
manner, he concluded.

and have fulfilled or will fulfill
other requirements are eligible to
receive a blanket,” the committee
resolved to amend the award
