Bovard, Oregon's new gumnasinm will he a * monument to his 111 years of service here nil lire than a milestone in Ihc path which he has hewn for physical education on the campus. For Dean Bovard is leaving Oregon in June —not, necessarily for a position in a better school hut for a position which will allow him more time for research in his field. Oregon's loss again will be another school’s gain, for Dean Bovard’s record here lias been one marked by outstanding service and steady progress, lie came here in 1900, beginning his work in physical education when the only forms of activity in that line were gym classes. Ten years later he became department head and in 11120 was made dean of the school of physical education. The latest and most visible indication of Dean Bovard's work here is to be seen in the new gymnasium. Not so easily seen are the results of his work with the intramural pro gram, his development of physical education as vocational work for students and the in fluences of this in the physical education pro grams of high schools throughout the state. Oregon’s intramural program has reached wide recognition and has been the inspiration for similar programs in other colleges. JJOLDING responsible positions on coach ing staffs and in physical education de partments throughout the coast area are grad uates of the vocational school which has been developed at Oregon, largely through the ef forts of Dean Bovard. Consistently he, through the school, has encouraged the dev elopment of physical programs in secondary schools throughout the state. Thus the need for such a program in high schools has parti ally been satisfied. Leaving I lie friends and associates which a person has built up in a 31-year period and the community ties which naturally develop is not an easy matter. Dean Bovard believes that the position which he is accepting at I'CLA will offer him greater opportunity for research. Yet it must have taken a tremen dous inducement to cause him to decide to leave this Cniversity and the school to which lie has devoted so many years of his life. Lull Before the Storm npilKKIO weeks more, and the campus will be iu the midst of the campaign preced ing the ANDO elections. There will be speeches, ballyhoo, and torchlight parades. Then1 will be dinners, desserts, and midnight meetings as the two big factions line up their tickets. There will be house meetings with endless discussion. Handshaking, baekslap pjng, sweet smiles. But one thing there won't be. and that is the promises of patronage that have been ;m accepted feature of ASTO elee tions immemorably. There may be promises, but the\ won’t be worth the paper they've written on or the breath they re uttered with. Dor. in its action oi last term, the executive council derailed the traditional “gravy train.'' No longer does the president of the stu dent body have the unlimited powers of ap pointment that in the past have often made an unprincipled farce ot student government on this campus. Xu longer can the president of the student body appoint officers in total disregard of their competence, merely on the score of their political support. Next year and thereafter, unless the by-laws of the con stitution are unwisely amended in Ibis res pect, the principal appointive offices will be under the control of the student executive council. * % * may be over-hopeful. There may be means of side-stepping the intent of this reform by political combinations larger and more powerful than any which student gov ernment experienced in the past. A large political combine might gain control of the executive council through the election of a straight ticket, a thing which has rarely if ever occurred in the past. But it is hard to organize large blocs of the sort necessary for that eventuality. Blocs must be cemented with promises of “gravy,” and there isn’t enough “gravy” to hold a very large one together. So a subversion of the council reform doesn’t seem too likely. Student government should become instill ed with greater energy under the now system. In the past—this year is a notable exception— the work of appointive officers has often been lacking in vigor and originality, due mostly to the fact that appointees have had party loyalty as their greatest merit. In the future, a higher degree of merit will be called for. Applicants will file written petitions with the be called at a late hour and asked if they’d like to serve. Instead, there will be published notice that this or that position is to be filled. Applicants will file written petitions with the executive council; and later they will be called in for personal interviews in which their plans and their capabilities will be given a thorough going-over. With the fore-knowledge that committee appointees have carefully worked-out plans which lliey are capable of putting into effect, students may look for a great deal of new freshness and energy in the conduct of ASUO affairs. Miscellany BILLIONS FOR DEFENSE Ominous indications that the United States may join the impending world naval race are em anating from Washington. Although the White House and the Navy Department are noncommit tal, Admiral Leahy, Chief of Naval Operations, believes that this country will match Britain's newest additions, just as it did her two battleships of last January. To pursue such a policy would be one more mad move in this insane struggle for armament supremacy. The United States is not forced by partical necessity to spend $5,000,000 every work ing day as England intends to do during the ne t five years. The three principle incentives for naval arma ment are conquest, prestige and security. The first of these is lacking in the case of a satisfied Power such as this nation. The second, in the sense of war strength, is a hollow objective for a nation desiring to avoid circumstances in which prestige is valuable; more desirable is the reputa tion of an uneontcsted leadership in pursuits worthier than battleship building. Japan Only Menacing Power This leaves for consideration the desire for security, both territorial and commercial. Of the Powers needing territory, only Japan is considered potentially menacing. Defense of our continental possessions, including Alaska, is most effective by land, not sea. Insularly, we are hardly vulner able: Hawaii would not satisfy our Western neigh bor, and British interests can be relied upon to check any move towards the south and Philippines. But Japan, like the United States, would not con sider either of our Pacific possessions worthy a major conflict. Our world commercial interests arc equally chimerical insofar as the general welfare is con cerned. Our overseas trade in the best years is less than 1(V; of our total trade; only a third of this is carried in American bottoms. We learned in 1917 what it costs to protect these "rights." Today, everyone who remembers that lesson agrees that embargoes are the cheapest, if not the sole, way of avoiding the next holocaust. Cries for naval armaments, then, are nothing but the amplified voice of a group of tradesmen who would risk all for the hope of profits. In England, where life itself depends upon free sea lanes, such cries are much nearer the public in terest. it is our good fortune to be spared the necessity of matching the largest navy in the world in order to insure our national existence. Until the day when we can rightly consider our selves imperiled, let us stop tilting with windmills and turn our resources to happier and more prosperous pursuits. The Daily Princetonian.

Combatants Confer The nation’s labor front quieted yesterday as bickering for the most part was moved from factor ies to the council table. John L. Lewis hurried to aid in coal wage scale negotiations in New York, while in Detroit attempts at a set tlement continued without him. Hudson and Fteo plant workers continued to occupy their factories, but were exceptions. Conferences arguments in Detroit revolved about United Automobile Workers’ recognition demand and the Lewis Green feud, in the latest develop ment of which 6reen’s statement calling sitdowns Illegal, was brand ed characteristically cowardly by the head CIO man.
