Goals for Education -
In a recent editorial, we asked President Wilson to help us
define our educational goals. He did just that Tuesday after
noon.
Of course, we realize that no group is separated by straight
*‘generation”lines and it is sometimes misleading to speak in
terms of “our’’ generation. We also realize that we are not the
only generation that has been confused, thoughtful, questioning.
Yet, as we sat and listened to President Wilson’s words,
we had the feeling that here is a man who can talk straight
and who can talk sense to our generation. He can hold on to
ideals, even in the face of eternal world crisis, witch hunts
in our nation’s capitol, smear campaigns and the drive to put
America’s colleges on the defensive as “liberal” because they
still place a high premium on thought, intelligence and the
individual.
Dr. \\ ilson said a lot in his 46 minute talk. He was talking
straight at the confusion of a great many college students. But
what impressed us most was his quick, deceptively easy clari
fication of the place of education in our modern society.
He said it simply, “the final, most important source of society
is the trained mind ..and if we reject the results of reason
as “egghead,” then “it suggests something irrational about
^democracy.”
We have felt sometimes, when we are in communities out
side of our campus world, that America puts a very low pre
mium on education. We have often laughed off snide remarks
that a college degree equips a student only for “Skid Row”
or digging ditches. We have ignored pointed comments that
education is a waste of time and why don’t we get out and
learn to face an honest day’s work.
And we occasionally wonder if perhaps these Main Street
_ philosophers are right. Living could be so much easier if one
never bothered to learn to think. Life could be so simple if it
- ""’ere just a round of eating, sleeping, a job and a chance to read
the sports page and the comics in the evening.
And then we remember a comment that we once overheard
an interning minister make. “God promised man a lot of things
in the Bible. But he never promised the Christian an easy life.”
That could apply to educated man too. Xo one ever said think
ing was easy.
And we hear men like President Wilson say a university
should “be dedicated to asking questions, not to destroy but
to clarify.”
And then when we hear President Wilson say, “we, as an in
stitution” we are suddenly proud that we are part of the Uni
versity of Oregon. We are proud that sometimes we, too, have
the courage to place our faith in “reason and the goodness of
man.”
It's For Real
Eureka! We have found it.
Ever since that big to-do about the rising costs of that delect
able coffee bean, we’ve been keeping our eyes peeled for a place
that is serving 15 cent coffee. (That’s a cup, not a pound.)
And we finally found a 15 cent cup of coffee even though we
had to go clear to Puget Sound in the search. During spring va
cation, we happened to cross from Seattle to Bremerton on the
Washington State Ferry lines. Facing us in the boat’s restaurant
was a neat little green sign reading:
“To our patrons—Coffee still 10 cents when served with any
food item. Minimum coffee service without food, 15 cents.”
Oh, they were polite about it. “We feel that more people will
be better served if we hold firm at 10 cents per cup to food patrons
who patronize our lunchrooms. We must, however, in view of
increased costs, make a 15 cent charge for coffee when served
without food.”
We had to smile as we sat watching patrons come up, sit down
and order a snack with their coffee. Just human nature we re
flected—as we munched our apple pie.

Theme Describes
Purpose of WUS
by Dorothy Her
Emerald Assistant News Editor
’'Hands Across the Sea,” theme
for the World University Service
fund drive, April 19 to 24, aptly
describes the purpose of WUS.
More than 700 American univer
sities are participating in this
year's drive to “help students help
themselves.”
Funds contributed to WUS will
go to help students at universities
in countries impoverished by war
or natural disaster. They will sup
port projects in student lodging
i and living, student health, educa
tional equipment, refugee services,
and mutual education.
Among the WUS donor coun
t tries the United States is foremost,
but fund drives are also held in
j Britain, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, the Scandinavian coun
tries, Switzerland and several
| other countries.
Name Changed
Although the international or
ganization has been known as
World University Service since its 1
beginning in 1937, this year is the
Insurance Plan
Covers Ills
Over Vacation
“Vacation periods, including the
entire summer, are included in the
all-expense accident insurance cov
erage now in force for University
students and faculty,” Wes Ball,
chairman, emphasized today.
Bali and his ASUO insurance
committee will maintain an insur
ance desk in Emerald hall this
week. Students who purchased the
coverage for only one or two terms'
should buy both the spring and
summer terms so as to extend the
24 hour per day coverage until
Sept. 19, the opening day of fall
registration.
Ball explained to those who have
not acquired the coverage previous
ly a group contract arrangement
has secured a rate of $1.50 for one
term. All the expense of any acci
dent is paid up to $500. There is
an accidental death benefit of $500
also. Skiing, swimming, all other
sports and auto accidents are cov
ered.
“Oregon students and faculty
scatter through most of the 48
states and many foreign lands dur
ing the summer time. This ASUO
accident plan covers them where
ever they go,” Ball emphasized.
Approximately 100 students al
ready have this coverage,
i
first time the drive is being car
ried on in the United States under
that name. The American branch
of WUS was known as the World
Student Service Fund, Inc. i WS
SF) until last summer when the
name was changed to correspond
with the world organization.
World University Service in the
United States cooperates with UN
ESCO, in promotion of a UNE3CO
WUS gift coupon plan, and with
CARE, particularly in appealing
for funds to .send CAKE food and
clothing packages to the war-dev
astated universities of South Kor
ea.
Yodvll Planned
This year’s WUS drive on cam
pus will end with the Duck Preview
all-campus Vodvil show. Leading
up to the climax will be such ac
tivities as an auction, carnival,
WUS hostess contest, firesides and
speakers in living organizations,
all designed to raise funds for W'
US.
Also being sponsored on campus
by WUS, but separate from the
fund drive, are three "experiments
for international understanding.”
Oregon is one of about 30 Ameri
can universities in which WUS will
attempt to arouse students to an
awareness of international affairs
and needs.
