'Good Neighbor Idea Aid
To Mexico’, Says Wright
A true “good neighbor policy” of the United State toward Mexico
will be a great factor in the success of the present National Revolu
tionary party in fully developing its aims in making Mexico a “land
for the Mexicans,” was the opinion of Professor L. O. Wright of the
Spanish department, who spoke last night at the International Rela
tions club meeting.
Professor Wright said that Cardenas was being pushed quite- hard
in Mexico by the strong labor
movement and because of this
force the recent oil expropriation
may have been a little hasty.
Mexico’s socialistic projects in
its “experiment in self-government,
democracy, and socialism’’ include,
according to Prof. Wright, engi
neering projects to make natural
resources available for the Mexican !
people, the return of cotton land |
in northern Mexico, the return ofj
the acres of hemp land in Yucatan
and the tomato-growing country!
in the northwest part of Mexico to i
the Mexican people.
Interest in Education
Mexico’s New Deal is concerned,
first of all, with education of the!
masses, the government spending
more on this phase than for arma
ments; on the building of rail
roads to transport products across
Mexico rather than fan-wise to the
United States; in the development
of its native art and culture which
was almost lost during and after
the Spanish occupation; and is the
governmnet opposed to the system
whereby concession were given to
foreigners.

CINEMACOLLEGE
To the Editor:
May I suggest to Miss Igoe
that she drop for a moment the
unfortunate attitude she has
taken toward college life pic
tures, to consider the public
that enjoys such productions.
The picture I refer to, “Start
Cheering,” was made in part
at Pomona college, which I at
tended for two years, and
where I had the opportunity to
work as an extra in a couple
of other movies on that cam
pus. My classmates and I
found working in a college pic
ture a pleasant relief from the
tedium of class routine, and
the viewing of the finished pro
duction another pleasing diver
sion. Being myself an interest
ed amateur of dramatics, and
from a theatrical family, I no
ticed carefully the reactions of
the audience to many college
pictures. They laughed and ap
plauded enough for me to be
lieve that they were enjoying
themselves. Must they then
have their cinema entertain
ment limited to intense drama,
■when they enjoy so much the
ridiculous. For those who wish
to be emotionally swept there
are plenty of productions on
the screen today that have just
that effect. College may
NEVER have been like that,
nor am I convinced that it
should be like that; but can we
not suffer ourselves as college
students to be put in a slightly
exaggerated light, if it amuses
us ? When we get really tired
of it, the producers won’t take
long to catch on.
WALLACE PATTERSON.
(Editor’s note: Something
should be said in Miss Igoe’s
behalf. To quote Mr. Patterson,
“My classmates and I found
working in a college picture a
pleasant relief from the tedium
of class routine ...”
Exactly Miss Igoe’s point,
Mr. Patterson. But if it isn’t
“college,” why insist on tack
ing the stigma of the raccoon
coat on higher education.
I would remind Mr. Patter
son that people also laugh in
zoos. "Start Cheering” may be
typical of Pomona college—
Lord help Pomona if it is. If
anyone turned that thing out
and tacked it on Oregon, I’d
be all for suing the producers
for libel, slander, and defama
tion of character. Raccoon
coats—bah!)

night were faced with the prob
lem of finding facilities to house
333 more youthful bandsmen who
will be here Friday night for the

from all over the state will be
represented in the contest. Be
sides these, there will be a num
ber of soloists making a total of
700 people who will participate.
Of these 400 will require over

others will come to Eugene Satur

said'.
In addition to the 67 placed in
the dorms, it is planned to place
the rest of the band members in
sororities, fraternities, and co-ops.
George Root, education activities
manager, yesterday said that the
University would pay $1 a day to
townspeople to lodge extra band
members.
Bob Goodfellow has been named
housing chairman by Root, but he
could not be reached last night
for any details of his plans to
complete the housing.
