Frazier’s experience, ability, and personality have won him the respect of the Emerald staff. He will “gain the respect o the whole campus next year ... a condition which, as Tom Ka> said, will be “refreshing.” Although, essentially, his ideals and attitudes are very muc i similar to those held by the incumbent editor, Frazier s methods of carrying through his ideas are more conservative, more cautious. As he told the educational activities board which ap pointed him. the editor-elect does not intend to "set the world on fire through the press.” Frazier will not dive headfirst into a ■controversial issue without considering first the chances of winning and the ultimate gains. Unlike the present editor, Frazier intends to appoint a strong editorial board, a group of advisors from whom he will lake suggestions. With his quiet intelligent humor, his toler ance his careful thinking and insistence on accuracy, Bob Frazier will regain for the Emerald the prestige it supposedly lost during the war under the three women editors. Instead of being impulsive, impatient, forceful, stubborn, and hampered at every turn by intra-staff intrigue and all-cam pus disapproval, Frazier will be efficient and effective. We pre dict that spring term, 1948, will find him one of the most admired men on the campus, and his Emerald one of the leaders of collegiate newspapers. Best Foot Forward Appointment hist week of Dr. Eldon Johnson as dean of both the college of liberal arts and the graduate school is con structive step in development of the University program. 1 he combining of the two deanships under the one head, plus the undisputed abilitv of Dr. Johnson as an educatoi and adminis trator, would indicate that the University is definitely on the ■wav toward distinction in the liberal arts field. As the Emerald has noted on a number of occasions, the reputation of any university must rest on its liberal arts pro gram and on its graduate school. It is important, of course, that the professional schools be good, but the reputation of the school as a whole will not stand or fall with them. It will stand or fall with the reputation of the graduate school, and more particularly with the reputation of the liberal arts college. Already at the University the proper pattern has been set— the professional schools revolve around the liberal arts college, with most majors in the schools spending more than half their time in liberal arts courses. This is as it should be. Nationally the University will achieve a reputation through its graduate work. The new system should facilitate the “benefits of a continu ous and integrated administrative leadership through the whole vertical span of our program," which is the ideal President Newburn has in mind in his program for University develop ment. It also recognizes that most graduate work is done in the liberal arts field. The organization of the liberal arts college and the graduate school is left open, so that assistants may be appointed later to assist Dr. Johnson in his work. Our guess is that he will need help, inasmuch as this becomes now more and more the number one education job in the state system. If the assistants, when and if thev are appointed, are of Dr. Johnson's calibre, there should be no doubt that this idea of integrating undergraduate and graduate work will be accomplished in an excellent manner. Dr. Johnson brings to the job a background of scholarship, which is essential to the position. But he brings more than that, for scholarship alone is not enough. He also brings a back ground of administrative experience, proved by his able hand ling of the political science department in the last two years. In.that time the department has become one of the outstanding departments on the campus, and its reputation is growing. His own field is public administration, a new field in the academic picture, but a field which will doubtless grow. This interest, along with his record in pure political science, eco nomics, and history, also contributes to his fitness for the job. the ABOUT INTOLERANCE An open letter to Howard K. Zim merman, Jr., candidate for the de gree of doctor of philosophy in the department of chemistry. Dear Howard, Frankly, I am not particularly worried about dirty gym socks, nor, at the moment, concerned with the charge of out-of-state fees permit ted by Public Laws 16 and 346 un der which we veterans are perform ing what we hope to be college level work. I am interested, however, in what I hope was a careless use of English in which you cleverly used the phrase “an Ethiopian in the woodpile.” Your attempt to dis guise that saying, which is very popular in certain sections of the deep South, was poorly done. Con sciously or no, it reflects a basic at titude of intolerance. It suggests an inferiority inherent in the col ored citizens of the state. And that’s no joke, son. You, as candidate for the Ph.D. degree will soon, whether you want it or not, be forced to actively par ticipate in a tormeted world. Peo ple will listen to your results on some problem in chemistry. They will also listen to your remarks in social relations. Any amount of good in our attempt to reduce ra cial intolerance can be < uickly sub verted by the careless u_ s of racial stereotypes. I trust it was a product of unthinking on your part; I should have written differently had SI thought otherwise. Trusting you understand the at titude with which this is written, I remain, Sincerely yours, Roy G. Francis, Editor The Graduate Quarterly Browsing ' with LARRY LAU With LARRY LAU A brand new engagement has been added to the many already recorded on campus this spring. AOPi’s cute Connie Fulmer and ; the Phi Psi’s carrot-thatched Les Hixson announced it at a Wednes day desert. It seems like only a few months ago that The Laundry carried the pinning story; congrats kids! A little bird just leaned over my desk to inform me that the Chi Psi Lodge may get a little political gravy veddy soon. The honor of having the first Spudnut Shop in the state of Oregon has gone to the UO. Situated on 11th, the handsome young co-owner, an ex Sigma Chi from Utah is dish ing out bags of those delicious pastries at 5c per (makes the old fashioned doughnut blush for shame). Phi Delt George Watkins, after a very few dates, has planted his pin on Theta’s lithsome Peggy Daugherty (hear tell the gal he had been chasing is nothing but burned). Hen Hall’s droll Phyllis “Boris” Lempke gave Sig Ep Ralph Hogan to understand that she didn’t care how he felt. Maybe the attentions of suave Vic Selman had something to do with this bouquet of shoes. Heard some wicked tales of a loud, off-key serenade in the wee hours by a group of Taus. With the sun play ing tag with the clouds, chances are that the weekend will be nice enough for you and your loved one to take off into the hills on bikes. kHYio **** GOOD bla(f. tobehighpr/ce/p 25* SHAVE5 YOU FOR 3 MONTHS! The Campus Cyclery on 11th has a big bunch of good machines to rent at ridiculously low rates. For two bucks you can get a bike for the whole weekend. A man can cover a lot of territory that way . . . on a bike that is! Golden haired Carolyn Strong, after playing the field fast and furious for many a term, finally succumbed to the spring breezes and took Bob Denn’s Beta pin. Diane Hall has taken herself off the active list in accepting a Fiji pirf from Jack Schnaight. Suzy’s bubbly Roberta Brophy was in a great cloud over the weekend with the arrival of a mysterious Burns bandleader named Ozzie. Dr. Dull remarked in class the other day that Russia has a great fear psychosis. A veteran listener re marked later, ‘‘I just hope they stay scared until I’m about 15!” Ed Dick, Jim Bartelt, Jce Mathews and a few others endeared them selves to what few listeners they had with an after hour serenade. Helen Naugle at the Westgate Shoppe wants to remind all you gals who would look your lovliest on these sunny days that she has a new stock of cottons at $10 per throw, and some crepe dresses and suits at a slightly higher figure. Speaking of figures, Marygail Lund and Phyl George are plan ning to be married although to Graduate*' ❖ * * Transcripts Several months ago a group of graduate students felt that there should be some publication where in graduate students could express themselves, submit articles and, in general, compare notes. This publi cation was to be entirely a student responsibility. Its objective was graduate Student expression on as scholarly a basis as possible, but always keeping in mind that the goal of the quarterly was to over come the tendency which Emerson observed in men, namely: “Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say, ‘I think,’ ‘I am,’ but quotes some saint or sage.” An investigation by these stu dents revealed that such a publica tion would cost $400, and ten years to raise the money. The Quarterly which will appear this week cost $60 and took ten weeks. The follow ing students, by freely giving their labor reduced the cdsts to a mini mum : Lucille Bryant, Roberta Per kins, Dorothy Zerzan, Julian Oran, and Newel Cornish. Costs were fur ther reduced by the gifts of stencils from the anthropology, economics, psychology, sociology, history, and political science departments. Fi nally, generous donations from graduate students and faculty in sured publication. If the fallacious belief that the University of Oregon students lack initiative was never refuted, the above experience should refute it once and for all. ^ In order to overcome any finan cial objection for not publishing an issue next year, the money raised from the sales of the Quarterly will be left for that purpose, since funds were raised for the publication of this issue prior to its going on sale. There are many grammatical and typographical mistakes in this is sue and ten years from now we are confident that Vol. I, No. I will look like a Model T .Ten years from now, however, we hope that the pioneer spirit of those who have made these 200 copies of the Quarterly possible will have started an ava lanche which will make the Univer sity of Oregon graduate school a recognized leader in the graduate field. date they’ve neglected the engage ment stage. If we can believe the Emerald editorials, Stan “Salmon” Williamson is going to risk his great name, earned on the maple woods, in the nasty old political arena. Well, that’s the way it goes. Space is precious, so look me up next Wednesday. —ak. 932 ft-BFLgk GARDENIAS FOR FROSH GLEE Place your order now 11a. m. "OUR BLESSINGS IN CHRIST" 7:30 p. m. Guest speaker DR.
