They cither like to stay home by the fireside or po out in the backyard and spin a rope.” That, says Bud Bowman, Emerald ex change editor, is why Ted Beckham, operator of an “escort bureau” in New York will give the black hall to UCLA and I ISC men when he opens a western branch of his enterprise in Eos Angeles. But, along with smoothies from Yale, Princeton and Harvard whom he will import from the east, Beckham will em ploy Stanford men. We'd say “Orchids to the hoys from Balo Alto” and brand them a bunch of sissies, if we weren’t sure they’ll refuse to acknowledge Beckham‘s compliment. Meantime, eongral illations to tin- Eos Angeles institutions for their inability to turn out fine gigolos. Why We Call Ourselves We* jyfK. HOPKINS, of Hop’s Skips and Jumps. yesterday lifted a blond eyebrow at tlie use of the editorial “we,” which touches u in a tender spot, for we use it all the time. And, although we hate to appear thrown or the defensive by a little guy like Hopkins perhaps an explanation is forthcoming. “We,” as we use it, is not a persona! pronoun; on the contrary, it is quite imper sonal. It indicates that the opinion expressed is not merely that of the editor, but an ex pression of the paper itself, of an artificial person, so to speak, made up of the editor and his staff. “We” is not used as an evasion of the distasteful “I.” Naturally, there is a centra! direction of editorial policy in the hands of the editor himself, but the editor does not write all the editorials, nor should there be any presumption that he does. Even if he did, the use of “1” in the editorial columns, unless they were to be regarded as a mere series of personal essays, would be out of place. For behind every expression of opinion stands the paper itself, not merely the poor editor creature. As far as that goes, however, “we” is not the only word that could be used. Conceiv ably some conference of journalists might devise a newterm to express this collective subject. Hut why go to all the trouble, when the word “we” contains at once the idea of plurality and evidence that the expression is intimate with the organ uttering it — the paper itself? Mexico, hitherto renowned for tamales, tortillas, Popocatepetl, and Diego Rivera, has lately made its contribution to the science of the age. A Mexican scientist advances a phys ical explanation of mental telepathy. Says he: man is a radio apparatus, cells being the tubes, skin and bones the condensers, hair the antenna, and the number of hairs determining the frequency or wave length. The gastric chorus that punctuates II o’clock classes, we presume, is static. Anti-War Strike Adds to Support The Student Christian Council Monday became the fourth co sponsoring- group for tile local stu dent strike against war April 22. At a meeting Monday the council, representing nearly a dozen Eu. gene student Christian groups, voted 6 to 3 to endorse the strike and send two representatives to the central strike committee. Other co-sponsoring groups to date are the local chapter of the American Student Union, the YMCA and the Wesley Founda tion, Methodist student group. The strike will also be decided upon by the YWCA and Westminster house, Presbyterian students, this week. For the first time in local his tory, the faculty of the University may also sponsor the strike, and send delegates to the central strike committee. The faculty and admin istration is also cooperating with a student committee in the spon sorship- of a peace week, one week preceding the strike. Psychology Graduate Pack for (laiii|»us Work Philip Moschella, graduate of class ’3(5 from Oregon, returned yesterday to the campus to com plete a WPA general extension course on creative personality and t write courses dealing with other phases of psychology. Mr. Moschella was a major in psychology. Following graduation he taught gymnastics in a private institution in San Francisco. He lias just returned to the University from Portland, where he has been doing research work in psychology and related subjects. His office is now located in room 213, Friendly hall. University Should (Continued from page one) the advice to mind our own busi ness. Many of the more common ills of our university are but symptoms of our constitutional disease of vaguoq£ss and the sentimental de sire to. do good. Thus we encour age students who have no interest in learning to come to tlie univer sity and to stay here to their own real detriment anil to the great injury of the university, because we of tiie faculty and administra tion are not clear in our own minds about what we are trying to do. We drift vaguely about in dis organized good intentions, fteflee- j tion may show that cheating is the j natural outcome of such a state of i affairs. Students lose sight of the real aim of study perhaps because their teachers have lost sight of it. They think that to appear to know i- just as well as to know. Tin y get the masks of learning to strut aero.-.- the world's stage inoutiling its line . A great deal oi sham in the universities is traceable , to the fact that we don't know ; what we are trying to do. I One other source of weakness in the university is that revealed in the saying that the university should serve the student. This is second only to the heresy that the university should serve the teach er. For both student and teacher should forget themselves in the pursuit of learning. What discov eries are likely to be made by those who are more interested in them selves than they are in atoms, or history, or literature, or econom ics, or law? If you can answer this question in more than one way you will have discovered a principle of logic not hitherto suspected. Peo ple in the university sh'uld not be encouraged to exploit themselves but rather to devote themselves to that which is far more lasting and important than the seif. One of life’s sober ironies is that he who finds nothing greater than himself has found but little. But it is probably misleading to imply that universities have failed except in the sense that the church and the state have failed. In one sense everything fails, but the church will not have failed so long as it expresses and fosters man’s aspiration for the good. The uni versities are really not failing so long as in each generation they find and foster those whose zeal for truth enables them to bear the torch of enlightenment.

Fishing Problems To Be Discussed; Problems threatening the fish '•Ing industry in Oregon, because of the Bonneville dam and other fac tors, will be discussed by Dr. L. E. t^lriffen, biology professor at Reed college, in Villard hall Wednesday evening, March 3, at a public lec ture. A possibility that fish ladders are not constructed in such a way as to permit fish to successfully ’■each spawning ground is felt by Dr. Griffin. Importance of the fish ing industry to Oregon will also be emphasized by the speaker. Professor Griffen formerly worked with fisheries in the Philip pine islands, and has made a thor ough study of Oregon's problems. Campus Calendar L. E. Griffen will speak on pro blems of Oregon fisheries in a public popular science lecture at Villard hall tonight at 7:30.

Several checks were among the loot. Although the libr ary has been visited by book thieves in the past this is the first time any money has been stolen fronj it. The thief must have been cut when he broke the door to the elevator shaft, as blood was also found on the marble counter of the circulation desk. The marble counter was cracked about the cash drawer showing that a heavy implement was used to pry it open.

WHAT Fred McDaniel {belou•} says about Camels is backed up 1009c by baseball’s "Iron Man,” Lou Gehrig — by Frank Buck, of "Bring ’Em Back Alive” fame —by Eleanor Tennant, the outstanding woman tennis coach of the U. S.—and by millions of other Camel smokers in all walks of life. Enjoy Camels at every meal. They speed up the flow of digestive fluids. Increase alkalinity. Help you enjoy food. Camels set you right! They’re the cigarette for steady smoking. Light up a Camel and get a "lift.” ■■■ s. “AFTER RIDING HERD from sun up to sun-down, the chuck-wagon looks mighty good to me,” says Fred McDaniel {above, also right}. "But I’m sure 1 wouldn’t enjoy my 'chuck’ half as much without the pleasure I get from smoking Camels with my meals and afterwards. After a good meal and Camels I feel plenty O.K. Camels set me right! They’re throat-easy, and they never get on my nerves.” v ,:ht, V ", R. J. Roynolda Tobacco Omrmy. Wmston-Saletn, N. 0. TEDIOUS STUDIES tend to drag on the nerves, often penalizing digestion. But Camels help in two specific ways: You get a "lift” in en ergy with a Camel. Again, smoking Camels with your meals and afterwards helps di gestion run along smoothly. And Camels don’t get on your nerves or tire your taste. Camels are mild! BUSY SECRETARY. "I smoke Camels—nothing else!’’says Jose lyn Libby. "Camels put more fun into eating and smoking too.
