Who’s An 'Apple-Polisher’?
^y^giciu ougauoo nas grown Lip aruimu tne campus about
"apple polishing.” It has become a common thing to
call one s enemies "apple polishers,” just as the term "com
munist is applied to political enemies.
So lar no one lias attempted to give a really complete defini
tion oi appie poiisner. In general, it can be said, that an apple
poiisner is a student who gets, or attempts to get, grades not
actually learned in a class, by playing up to the professor.
me term undoubtedly came Irom the legend of the grade
scnoui pupa wno brought las teacher an apple every morning.
Moie recently it nas come to apply to anyone who stays and
talks to tne professor alter class, a student who laughs too
hard at tne professor’s joke, or anyone who looks interested
uuring a lecture.
* * *
JL1 AR too much stress is put on the effect of “apple polishing.”
very lew professors can be fooled by so shallow a thing
as tnat. it certainly isn’t very flattering to them to think that
grades arc gained on the basis of how hard a student laughs at
a joke wnicn isn t tunny. With tests and examinations proving,
at least tu some degree, how much has been gained from a
course the etiects that apple polishing might have arc small.
The anti-apple polisher campaign which has been going on
among ihc students and faculty has harmed, rather than bene
fited, the cause of education, it has served to make an increas
ing number of students and faculty members conscious of such
a tiling—so much so that many students will not go to a pro
fessor with a question after class.
It is harmful because these little talks, personal contacts,
witn the professors are very often of a greater value than actual
classroom work. To be able to discuss problems or questions
otten helps clear up a point which was not made clear in the
classroom.
The professors are human. They know an apple polisher
when they see one. Why lose the education in a valuable per
sonal contact?
Don’t Rest on the Oars
“^|.1VE us a student union !” has long been the cry of Oregon
■ students. It has been constantly repeated during the
past few years, "Give us a student union !’ The demand, while
perhaps not ignored, has certainly not been answered.
Last year it seemed that the student union advocates were
finally getting down to brass tacks. The goal did not seem so
distant as to be unattainable. A frosh committee to serve for
'four years was appointed. It was thought that this committee
would unify the student union movement, give it a permanent
program. The activities of the student union backers receiv ed
much publicity, both on and off the campus. Everyone was dis
cussing, in a rather hopeful tone, the student union situation.
This year the committee has, apparently, announced that
“All's quiet on the student union front." The student union
has received no attention. The hopes and interest of the stu
dents have died. The committee, to all appearances, sleeps
peacefully.
If they are doing anything they have certainly not let the
students know about it. Their actions, if any, have been
cloaked in the deepest secrecv. To sav that we are disappointed
would be understatement.
* * *
pERHAPS it is true that a building will finally materialize
on the Oregon campus even if the students do nothing
at all about it. The fund will continue to grow and grow and
finally the building will be built. Even that assumption is
not entirely safe. Hut supposing that it did work out that
way, there are several objections to such a policy.
In the first place, we feel that the students should roll up
their sleeves and go after what they want. If they do not they
don’t deserve to get it. And it is up to the leaders to take the
initiative. In the second place, there can be no room for doubt
that student action will speed the process and bring the attain
ment of their desire* in much less time and the student union
has been delayed far too long now. In the third place the union
° hall, when it is built, will not fit student needs nearlv so well
° ° ^ e
as if students have taken active interest in the work and a
definite effort has been made to evoke campus interest.
We feel that valuable work was accomplished last year.
The good results of that work should not be nullified because
this year’s committee may wish to rest on their oars and ride
with the stream. They ought to roll up their sleeves and really
pull. So “Slow, gang tow! -li.0.
Boy! What Music!
'1'HE masters would have been mighty proud to hear the
fashion in which John Stehn and his 50 student musicians
played at a public concert in the music auditorium Sunday
afternoon. The hall was packed with people who once again
discovered the art of giving applause. Yes, we of this race
still show our appreciation when given good reason.
Why was the concert so well liked? Here arc some of the
reasons: we have a good band, led by a man who knows how
to team them; musicians “give" when people turn out to
listen to them; and the public is music-starved. But even if
there had been no ASCAP-BMI feud the presentation would
still have gone over.
Little kids swung their legs and chewed their gum faster
when Art Holman took the podium, transplanted a couple of
bass saxophones and commenced with Morton Gould’s rhum
ba, ‘Tropical.” Everyone was electrified—Holman directed the
same number for two encores. Gould would have liked it too.
The best things for Americans to do in this stage of history
is to hang on for dear life to the coolness of mind that they
still possess. It would be safe to wager that those who heard
John Stehn’s band Sunday completely forgot the darkness
that seems to be engulfing a world that only man can make
unpleasant. Music has a mysterious capability of soothing
the mind.
Another safe bet would be that the school of music will see:
one of its largest audiences at the next University band con

about the coming of spring, and
the latter worrying about the
coming of Oregon State.
FANS AND PANS . . .
There is for example:
(1) The "If-Fan.” He always
has the perfect alibi. "If An

. . . If Lindeman had caught
one—”
(2) The "So-What Fan.” He
goes quietly to the game. He
seldom gets excited. If his
team wins "okay.” If it loses
"So-What.”
(3) The "Wait Till Next Year
Fan.” He belives all he hears
about the sophomore marvels,
and lives for the future.
(4) The "Razzberry Fan.”
He boos all evening. He cusses
Piluso one night and the next
starts a "We want Piluso” yell.
He hopes Gentry will break a
leg on the next basket, (a nice
guv).
(5) The “I Wish Fan." He
wishes that the opponents had
n’t played over their heads, and
that his team hadn't that off
night.
(8) The "Just as Good Fan.”
His team is down in the cellar,
but the other teams got all the
breaks.
(7) The "Speed Fan.” He
wants his team going like fur
ry all the time, but he wouldn't
walk a block himself.

From
All Sides
By MILDRED WILSON
Pained expressions and limp
jaws followed in the wake of a
revolutionary statement made
by Professor Walemar P. Read,
from the University of Texas
on the subject of apple-polish
ing. "I believe in ‘apple-pol
ishing.’ The student who in
dulges in this oftimes slandered
art will, in the long run, finish
ahead of those who do not."
Instead of a detailed explana
tion of his statement ‘‘Revolu
tionary Read,” as he is now
called, quoted a homemade pro
verb: “Apple polishee, knowee
teacheree, good marker; No
apple polishee, no knowee teach
eree, no good markee." Amaz
ed students promised the pro
fessor they would bet out their
polishing cloths and begin work
immediately.

The
BAND
BOX
By BLLLi MOXLEI
Glenn Miller finally got his
famous "Anvil Chorus" on wax.
Glenn has been featuring the
number on his radio programs
for several months now, but it
took four sessions at the re
cording studio before the de
seed perfection was eventually
achieved. But the record is
here in town now and sounds
darn nice . . . both sides and all
six minutes of it.
And speaking of Mr. Miller,
he just received the most total
votes for favorite band by the
Down Beat readers. He won
first place with the SWEET
bands and fourth place in the
SWING division. Yes, Glenn
Miller certaiinly deserves the
nomination for Band of the
Year.
Goodman Top
The DOWN BEAT poll also
gave Benny Goodman top spot
in the SWING BAND voting
for the second straight year.
This despite Benny's prolonged
illness and the breakup of his
old crew. Duke Ellington fol
lowed on Goodman's heels into
second place while Woody Her
man placed third. Second and
third place SWEET bands were
Tommy Dorsey and Jimmy
Dorsey. Our friend Bob Crosby
placed seventh among the swing
bands.
Many critics were disap
pointed by the supposed change
in Mr. C’s style of music dur
ing the last few months. After
working hard for five years to
develop a definite Dixieland
style . . . just when the public
was beginning to appreciate it
the band went commercial with
more sweet tunes and soft
warbling by Bob and a vocal
quartet. But perhaps this is all
idle gossip. WE’LL find out for
ourselves . . . won’t we ?
