The University Row
The governor of Oregon and the regents of the state
university at Eugene are being called to task by the student
body for having had the temerity to dismiss one professor,
and abolish his department, accept the resignation of another
and failed to reappoint a third instructor because the
university faces a $60,000 deficit and economies are declared
essential. The student newspaper sharply lectures the
regents, and instructs them in policies to be pursued.
What else can be expected in these modern days when
students run the schools? It was very inconsiderate of the
regents to take any action without first consulting the
student body and securing its consent. Regents should
have learned this lesson from Reed college, where the selec
tion of a new president precipitated such a hubbub.
At the same time the university regents, not only in this
case, but in many other instances, have laid themselves open
to censure for the secrecy with which they veil their
proceedings. They act as though this state institution was
thejr own property, instead of the public s and have system'
atically suppressed accounts of their procedures concerning
expenditure of taxpayers money.
The regents' plea that their actions were dictated from
motives of economy, must be taken with a grain of salt.
There has been no real effort made to reduce expenditures by
elimination and consolidation. There is only one way to
effect material economy in our higher educational institu
tions, and that is to place them all under a common board
of regents to be conducted as parts of one institution instead
of rival schools, each overlapping and duplicating efforts
of others.
Violating the Constitution
Says the Corvallis Gazette-Times:
A Salem man has ecu (tiled $3,000 and sentenced to a year In
ail (or operating a still. We would like to see the case eo to the
miri:a.e court. 1( this doesn't violate the section o( the constitution
relating to "cruel and unusual punishment" then nothing docs.
Most tiwe case convictions violate more than one con
stitutional provision and unless an appeal is taken to the
highest c Jar t, which requires money, the conviction stands.
The constitutional provision alleged violated is
Article 1, Section 16: Excessive ball shall not be required nor
feXt'ewive (ines Imposed. Cruel and unusual punishment shall not be
inflicted, but all penalties shall be proportioned to the o((ense.
A constitutional provision even more frequently scrapped
lor prohibition is
Section !, Article 1: No law shall violate the right of. the people
to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against
uurcasonoblc search or seizure; und no warrant shall Issue but upon
probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly
describing the place to be searched and the person or thing to be
seized.
Another provision generally ignored is
Section 12, Article 1: No person shall be put in jeopardy twice lor
the same offense.
Yet cities habitually penalize a person, then turn him over
to the county and the state to penalise him again, and then
he is passed on to the federal government for a third penalty,
Another constitutional provision violated every day in
booze cases is
Section 9, Article 1: There shall be no Imprisonment (or debt
except In case of fraud or absconding debtors.
Yet our jails are filled with persons who cannot, because
of poverty, pay the fines exacted in addition to imprison
ment, and are compelled to remain in prison for a credit at
the rate of $2.00 per day to apply upon fines which is noth
ing but imprisonment for debt.
It is principally the poor who are penalized because they
cannot afford to establish their riglits by appeal but th"y
are perhaps lucky in not being shot at sunrise.

It's no eflsy mutter to borrow

I realized that when 1 beg. to

money .to heln Vli-tfinw out, so
that she couli nay for the a:ock
tthe'd bought.

much as he'd want to. Anyway.
I hal no intention of poing out
and borrowing money. This was
going tc be a business-like trans
action. Oh, how I enviei women who
are alile to earn money! 1 tried and
irled to think of something that I
eould do, and there wasn't a thin?,:
not one.
Virginia hal told me the name of
her broker. Finally after racking
my brains for an hour, I decided to
so to see him. Perhaps he could
till Street something.
I drowsed in my prettiest clothes
picked up the gold mesh bag with
the emerald clasp that had caused
me more than one pans' of con
science, and summoned the car
that Frank Harrison had been ao
Insistent about our using. After
all, I might aa well do the thing in
style:
The broker Virginia dealt with
had an office downtown, so I brav
ed tho tenors of the business sec
tion, whore I'd never been before.
I felt terribly out of place in the
elevntor which took me up to his
office. Everybody else locked so
important. There were two girts
about my own age who might have
been stenographers or something
like that. I could tell from something-
they said that they worked.
How I t-nvled them!
And then I saw one of them
glancing at my mesli bag, and I
realized that probably she was en
vying me. It alie d only known
the tr.itli!
.1 found the right office, and
went in, and r.sked f-jr the r.ian
whose name Virginia had given
me. She asked who wanted to nee
him, and I said Mrs La mi tea, ami
she wrote something on a curd cud
gave it to an office boy. My eyes
are very keen even unslde down
I could se? what she wrote. It way
Hhe's awfully pretty."
I felt better after that. If he
was the kind of man who's influ
enced by looka, I knew that U
wouldn't be quite to hard for me
to face him.
"Mr. Jordan will see you now,
Mrs. Larabce," the girl said a mo
ment later, and I followed tlie boy
down the hall, and Into a private
office.
A man glanced up nj J. t-ntercd.
My heart be;jan t flutter like a
caged bird.
It. was the man I'd run away
from ju?t a few days before, the
:nan whose house I'd blundered in
to In an effort to escape Frank
Xfarrison when I was on my way
to keep an engagement with Nick.
I'd have run away again if I
could have. Hut I couldn't. I juM
leaned against tho doo. for an in
stant, and thon went forward and
twit dewn besile his de3k as If I
hadn't remembered him. After all,
I'd had only a glimpse of him. Per
haps he wouldn't remember me.
Uut he did. He had rien when
I went In. He just stood there and
milled, and then broke into laugh
ter. "Ah the young lady v.ho was
looking for 'an old school friend'

discovered that she couldn t get

and thtn ran away from her boat
the moment his back was turned."
"I hod to, ' I niuiwcred. "Jt was

couldn't wait to say geodbye."
"And now you've come to be?

another invitation?" he asked.
trust that's the case.
"No, I've come on business," I
told him, and explored what it
was.
He was awfully nice then, and
nfter he'd talked half an hour and
used a lot of terms that I dijn't
know the meaning ofhe said that
Virginia could have a week mora
In which to pay up the margin on
her stock, and that he was cure it

then she'd be all riht.
"And now you're gcing to prom
Iso to dine with me .uid keep the
promise," ho sail, when he'd fin
ished. "Oh, but surely. I replied; with!
that weight off my mind I'd have
promised anything within reason.
After all, he had been kind.
"Tonight!" he asked. I said that
would do. I had an engagement,
but resolved to break It and get
1 tis other thing off my mind at
once. He aaid that he would come
for me.
But shortly after I got home a
boy brought me a box of spring
flowers, jonquills and tulips and
daffodils and hyacinths a won
derful maw of color.
Tucked Into the middle was a
note. Wouldn't I dine with him at
hid home. A few friends were
coming, nnd it would be delightful
if I would.
There was Just enough of an ele
ment of adventure In It to tempt
me. I sent him a telegram saying
that I'd be there.
