HER BIG OUTDOORS Tradition says that many years ago a Frenchman, travel-worn and tired stood on a towering pinnacle of the Blue mountains and gazed with rap ture at which he gazed. "La grande! as colorful as a Mediterranean sunset. Tepee fires, winding rivers, bound ing antelope, meadow larks in a mighty evening concert, hoary peaks on the Jagged horizon, rolling billows of emerald grass profusely tinged with eamas blue, were In the pic ture at which he gazzed. "La grande! Grande ronde"! These were the weary JTencnman s exclamations. In the French language, his words painted the picture on, which, he gazed. Such Is the lege mi of how La Grande and Grande Ronde valley were named. " Eastern Oregon in the vicinity of La Grande Is a beautiful picture of the big open spaces.

Of course it is yet too soon to judge the action of the board ; but it is our hope that the new plan may eventually work out in a satisfactory manner, and really succeed in giving us a more efficient system for less money. Oregon in the past has served at various times as a prov ing ground for new ideas of a political nature, and it may j be that now the state is giving birth to an exceptionally meri- j torious scheme in the realm of education. j The least we can do, as loyal Oregonians, is to withhold : criticism, bear with the board, and support the plan in every ; possible way, until we are certain that it is a failure or a success.

It is certainly not right that students should feel all this financial pressure for athletics which do not interest them," the committee said.

Democrats ARE WE LAZY? After subscribing to the hypothesis that Germany became a great industrial and scientific nation because her ieoile got up an hour earlier in the morning and worked an hour J later, and after attributing America's present leadership in ! industry, commerce and science to similar reasons, a Dutch university professor sees in the United States a disposition j to sleep a little later, to take longer holidays and to see how much easier a definite task may be accomplished, and finds I this disposition not to be for the good of the nation in the long run. It is true that we cannot safely rest on our oars at this stage of our national development. There can be no standing still. Either we move forward or slip back. Rut it is just as true that we have worked for world leadership in these things to make it the means to an end, not the end itself. The ultimate objective has always been a little more surcease from the labor that enslaves both mind and body. Perhaps the Dutch professor misunderstands us and our system. He does not know that when an American factory cuts two hours off its working day it knows that the shorter day, because it will increase the efficiency of its labor, will ! not curtail its output. And it is very likely that he is judging ! American !alxr by his slow-moving European worker. , j At any rate, American workers take exceptions to his rioi'l I-.-: . . ....
