We were filledwith the milk of human kindness andwe resolved to write a nice, sweetarticle before the milk of kindnesscurdled within as. In such a mood,we proceed to a discussion of cam¬pus mixers. andFish Are StudentAuthorsTwo classes of people go to mixers.There is the class of heaven’s blessedwho go to every function given oncampus and mixers are just anotherfunction to attend. Then there areGod’s step-children who never go anyplace and mixers are the only placeto go.What of heaven’s blessed? Well,there are the hosts and hoste.sses.These people are whirled into actionfrom the battery of campus studentbig shots and howitzers. Others arejust sons of gun.s. To mix the meta¬phor completely, they are comparableto English countr>' lords who on holi¬days invite the servant quarters upto the drawing room for tea and thustiny rest content with their demo¬cratic concession.'. The ht»sts and host¬esses who sponsor the mixers forma very select group and they standsilently off in a corner and with longdrawn faces they survey the rabblein its one night of glittering gayety.I'nfortunately for the self-esteem ofthe hosts and hoste.sses they are notrecognized by the merry-makers.They have risen in their own social¬ly select groups only by elbowingaside others with similar aspirationsfor rising.

BEGIN WINTER DRIVEFOR CAP AND GOWNSUBSCRIPTIONS TODAYEducation ShouldTeach Students toThink, Barden SaysWhat of God’s step-children? Well,there’s always the person who be¬trays the inward state of his discom-forture in a hostile group by comingup to somebody he knows only bysight, and asking that person wheth¬er he has seen or whether he knows“so-and-so.’’ The person doing thequestioning may have just seen“so-and-so’’ a minute before, he mayknow that the individual to whom-hedirects his question is not even cog¬nizant of “so-and-so’s” existence.But all this is incidental to the hopeof a possible conversation that mightarise from the question—anything torelieve the over-burdening feelingarising out of a state of mind whichsays, “I love the world, but the worlddoes not love me.”There now. I’ve written a nicesweet article full of human pathos.Blessed is the man who is contentwith his own lot, providing there is askyscraper on it. Members of the Social ScienceParliament agreed for the most partwith the educational policies of JohnBarden, editor of The Daily Maroon,in a general discu.ssion yesterday inwhich Barden explained and defend¬ed his views. Disagreement was chief¬ly over the definitions of variousterms.According to Barden, the object ofeducation is to teach students tothink. He believes that students inthe College should trace the thoughtof the world’s greatest thinkers, andthat fact-learning should be left tothe work of the Divisions.The opposition, led by Louis Dex¬ter and Marie Berger, argued main¬ly over the definitions of terms, rath¬er than discussing the fundamentalprinciples involved. Dexter stated thatfacts and ideas are interrelated, notseparated, and hence facts must belearned along with theories. This re¬sulted merely in more wrangling overdefinitions. In spite of the disagree¬ment over terms, the general consen¬sus of opinion was in Barden’s fav¬or.DIVINITY SCHOOL TEAThe Divinity School will hold an¬other of its weekly teas this af¬ternoon at 4:30. Mrs. Charles Childs,wife of the head of the departmentof Zoology, and Mrs. Frank R. Lillie,wife of the Dean of the division ofBiological Sciences, will pour. OnFebruary 6 a series of extension lec¬tures will be presented regularly inBond chapel. The Cap and Gown will start itsannual winter campaign today in anendeavor to reach its goal of 1000subscriptions. More than 87 clubpledges have agreed to sell the year¬book and the club which succeeds inconvincing the most people that theannual is indispensible will receive afree page in the book. The value ofthe photograph to appear on thispage, according to Waldemar Solf,business manager, amounts to $25.However, a club must sell at least 25subscriptions in order to be eligiblefor the award.In order to present a more uni¬form font, the club pledges have beenorganized with the following womenacting as sales captains: Marion Mc-Kinny, Achoth; Dorothy Pederson,Arrian; Geneveive Fish, Chi Rho Sig¬ma; Ruth Callender, Delta Sigma;Madge Bein, Deltho; Mary LouiseCoolidge, Esoteric; Janet Humphreys,Mortar Board; Virginia Prindville,Phi Beta Delta; Elizabeth Thompson,Phi Delta Upsilon; Marie Wolfe, PiDelta Phi; Julia Cottrell, Quadrang-ler; Wilma Watrous, Sigma; andRuth Allison, Wyvern.All seniors in the Law School arerequested to register for pictures inthe Cap and Gown office in Lexing¬ton hall as soon as possible. Miss Edith Abbott, dean of theSchool of Social Service Administra¬tion, has been appointed chairmanof a committee of the American As¬sociation of Social Workers whichwill deal with the subject of thenecessary revision of the Poor Lawsin the various states. Appointed bythe executive committee of the or¬ganization, Miss Abbott will present,at a nation wide conference to beheld in February in Washington, sug¬gestions based on a study of the sit¬uation which she has carried on incooperation with Miss SophonisbaBreckinridge and other workers.The basis of the discussion was aproposal for revision drafted by MissAbbott, which was approved in prin¬ciple and amended only in recogni¬tion of difficulties to be encounteredin securing new’ legislation in thevarious states. The plan contemplate.^not only adequate assistance withservice, but suggests a county-wideunit of administration, state aid dis¬tributed on the basis of standardiz¬ing and equalizing persons, and fed¬eral aid serving the .same pui’poses.Criticizes Relief AdministrationM iss Abbott, who has appeared be¬fore senatorial committees urging theacceptance of these principles, hada recent article in the Nation (NewYork) criticizing the federal reliefadministration which did not at thattime adequately recognize them. .i “.Miss Abbott’s voice has had great! influence in persuading public author-! ities that only w’hen the satisfactionsi of life are shared by all will thereI be no ‘forgotten’ man, woman, orj child,” commented Miss Breckin¬ridge.Hold ConferenceIn preparation for the forthcom¬ing discussions of the Social insur¬ance program, a conference was heldlast Thursday on the University cam¬pus w'hich was attended, beside Mis.sAbbott, by Mr. Louis Brownlow of•he Public Administration ClearingHouse and lecturer on Political Sci¬ence at the University; Mr. FrankBane, secretary; and Mr. Fred K.Hoehler, president of the AmericanPublic Welfare Asociation; Mr.James H. Foster of the New YorkState Department of Social Welfare;Mr.s. Alice F. Liveright, director ofthe Pennsylvania State Department(Continued on page 4) For the first time in the thirty-oddyears in which University studentshave attended Washington Proms, theproceeds of the prom will be turnedover to charity. Previous to this yearall money taken in was used by theStudent Social committee for othersocial affairs later on in the year,“We will turn over all the moneythat we make, and we have hopesthat it will reach $300,” Donald Kerr,chairman of the Social committee,declared yesterday, to the UniversitySettlement. As a result we have feltit necessary that we distribute abso¬lutely no complimentary tickets toanyone. In view of the cause forwhich we are sponsoring the dance,the committee hopes that all thosewho would ordinarily receive com¬plimentary tickets will fall in lineand back the Prom, even more thanin the past.”It is to be definitely understood,however, Kerr said, that fraternityand dormitory salesmen will receivetheir ten per cent commission in anyevent. In other words, ten ticket saleswill still earn one free bid for thesalesman.Patrons and patronesses will alsobe asked to subscribe to the dance.This is the first time that spon.sorshave been asked to aid, but the com¬mittee feels that, under the existingj circumstances, they will give whole-; hearted cooperation. Patrons and pa-I tronesses are, in the main, membersi of the faculties and Board of Trus¬tees of the University.

Control Over PublicOpinion Grows UnderNew Deal—GideonseThe trend of New Deal liberalismis toward federal control and regi¬mentation of public opinion, declar¬ed Harry D. Gideonse, associate pro¬fessor of Economics, before a meet¬ing of the University Debate Unionlast night in the Reynolds club. Lastweek Professor Gideonse returnedfrom Washington where he was im¬pressed with the view that the legis¬lators are dealing with policies whosefinal effects on the social order theydo not realize, or are not concernedabout.Dr. Gideonse characterized thepresent administration as the mostliberal since that of Wilson’s, yet hefound a tendency toward an attitudeof non-toleration. The Wallace planfor the control of production offarm goods, according to ProfessorGideonse, means a degree of regi¬mentation far beyond thuu of agri¬culture,Federal subsidies for educationwould result in Federal control ofall education, including private uni¬versities, from which has come mostof the criticism of the New Deal ad¬ministration. Professor Gideonsea.sks the question “How much of thepresent practically unanimous critic¬ism of the monetary policies wouldbe possible if the universities weredependent upon the government fortheir budget? With Federal controlyou get Federal indoctrination.” Twocourses are open for the liberal, whoretains the old ideas of liberalism,one to stay out of politics and remain“master of his own soul,” the other,to conform on many points. 1 “All nations, despite political, so-1 cial, or other differences have fol-; lowed the common lines of similar, recovery policies in counteracting theI effects of the depression,” declaredDr. Melchior Palyi, visiting professorj of Economics, at a lecture deliveredI last night at the Cloister Club of Idaj Noyes hall. Dr. Palyi spoke on “TheI Theory and Practice of Recoveryj Policies” at the regular dinner-meet-j ing of the Graduate Club of Econom-I ics and Business.Professor Palyi outlined the con¬sequences of the bureaucratic meas¬ures which most countries haveadopted in fighting the depression. |“The bureaucratic system evades re- jsponsibility, is biased, and is limited |in its selection of standards,” he 1stated. I“The depression has divided theworld into two groups of countries,” jhe continued, “those which have a !tendency toward socialistic ideas af- !ter a period of anti-socialistic rule, !and those which have reacted con¬versely under the opposite situation.”Dr. Palyi cited the unbalancedbudget situation common to all gov¬ernments as an example of bureau*cratic financial incompetency. “Somenations have attempted to remedythe situation by physically diminish¬ing the budget,” he pointed out,“while others have stabilized the defi¬cit.” All rushing must be confined tothe houses, the Interfraternity Coun¬cil voted last night at its meeting inthe Reynolds Club.This means that fraternities willnot be permitted to hold banquets,parties, or any form of entertain¬ment off campus. The point was notclear in the present rushing rulesand was made as an amendment tothem. Both freshmen and fratern¬ities will be responsible for the en¬forcement of the new regrulation.Third PeriodWhile some objection was raisedconcerning the third period of openrushing week, that is, the time from8:30 to 10:30, it was voted to main¬tain the time limit with the under¬standing that it was to be strictlyenforced.Another major change in the rulesis in regard to the mailing of invi¬tations to freshmen for the finalrushing week. Fraternities are nowpermitted to mail their invitations by5 o’clock Wednesday, January 31. Itwas felt that this would give the fra¬ternities a better opportunity to ar¬range dates and aid the freshmen inan.swering them. The previous mail¬ing date was February 2.There is to be no contact betweenfreshmen and fraternities other thanat the three periods specified dur¬ing rush week, that is, luncheon, din¬ner, and the late period.Unethical RushingFrank Nahser, president of the In-terfiaternity Council, discussed aresolution regarding unethical rush¬ing among fraternities suggested bythe National Greek Council. It isthe hope of this body and the Uni¬versity group to prevent any rushingthat could be deemed as casting as¬persions on any other fraternities.In order that freshmen may bemore aware of this “knocking” ofother fraternities, the InterfraternityCouncil will send a letter to TheDaily Maroon that will explain un¬ethical rushing and clarify it forthem. In this letter some of the ques¬tions . raised by the freshmen at ameeting last week on rushing, will beconsidered for the benefit of all.Sunday evening, from 5:30 to10:30 freshmen are invited to the lastopen house of all the fraternities be¬fore the start of rush week.N S L Group PlansOne Hour Anti-WarStrike for April 6Registrar Plans NewUniversity HandbookA University handbook, designedto meet the needs of students, whoare in residence at the University, isnow being compiled by Ernest C.Miller, Registrar.; The book will sup¬plement the regular University an¬nouncements published to aid pros¬pective students.Tentative outline of the contentsof the handbook, which will be com¬pleted before the beginning of thespring quarter, will include: require¬ments for athletic eligibility, regula¬tions governing examinations, proce¬dure for registration, requirementsfor transfer students, reguiations fordissertations, and procedure follow'edin obtaining degrees. The deans ofall of the divisions and professionalschools have been requested to sub¬mit information which they desire tobe included in the book.The handbook will be comparableto the “Handbook of Divisions andProfessional Schools,” published lastin June, 1932, but will contain sup¬plementary information. Tentative plans for a student anti¬war strike throughout the universitiesof the country were considered at ameeting of the National StudentLeague yesterday in Cobb. Membersi were undecided on any proposals: other than the league’s sponsorshipof the strike as an instrument inpeaceful opposition to war.The strike has been proposed forApril 6, which is the anniversary ofAmerica’s entrance into the WorldWar. The league wishes to persuadeall University students to participatein the nation-wide strike, which will! last for one hour. The action will bej merely a display of sentiment, and; students who support it will not atr: tend classes that hour.The Univei’sity members of thej National Student League intend toj sponsor a mass conference to be heldj immediately after the strike to dis-i cuss the problems which are respon-I sible for the action taken by thei group. Plans were discussed for aj preliminary conference to discuss theorganization of the strike.PURPLE PARROTThe axe is swinging at Northwest¬ern university where the board of“purifications” has censored the stu¬dent humor magazine.

Then the new plan and 1have exactly the same end in mind, do we not?Exercon; That is certain, unless someone candemonstrate that our definition of general educa¬tion is entirely wrong.Socrates; The overwhelming silence in regardto challenging our definition surprises me. Doesit not also surprise you, Exercon?Exercon; Indeed the silence is voluminous.Socrates; Since this is so, can we not assumethat the new plan is working toward the samething we have set as an aim?Exercon: Quite right.Socrates: Therefore we differ from the newplan only in regard to the means to our commonend, is it not so?Elxercon: Indubitably so.Socrates: Very well. Can you say that 1 amdestructive when 1 suggest a rational means tothat end and prove that my suggestion is morerational than the system now in practice?Exercon: No, after your explanation, I canhardly call your criticism destructive. But youalso said in our last discussion that investigationsand conclusions about the record of man's in¬tellect should be neither second-hand nor synthe¬tic.Socrates: Good! Since we have concluded thatour students must comprehend ideas conceivedand discovered by man’s intellect, let us look againinto the method of presenting ideas as it is nowand as it should be. Tell me, Elxercon, exactlyhow is it done now?Exercon: In the College we receive most of ourideas from lectures and the latest authoritativebooks in the four general fields, surveyed by thenew plan.Socrates: Could we say that all ideas you re¬ceive are either direct from modern men or in¬terpreted by modern men?Exercon: 1 think that would be fair enough.Socrates: How manjfl really great minds doyou think we have had in man’s history sincewriting was invented, Exercon?Exercon: Of course we can only judge by those ' who have left writings, but of those everyone willagree that there have been between one and twohundred men who have made outstanding con¬tributions to man's intellectual development.Socrates: You are quite right. It is a pitifullysmall number, is it not?Exercon: Very true, considering that it tookthree thousand years to produce them,Socrates: And so, is it not self evident thatthere cannot be more than one or two great in¬tellects existing in the world today?Exercon: Your slander cannot be denied, so1 will add to the libel; perhaps there is only one—Einstein.Socrates: Would you not also agree that itwould take a truly great intellect to comprehend,summarize, and interpret accurately to studentseven a single division ideas found in man’s intel¬lectual history?Exercon: Reason forces me to agree with you.Socrates: Therefore, despite many fine minds Editor, The Daily Maroon,Dear Sir:While the educational school worksclass instruction down to a science,and professors study the alchemy ofeducation: how to culture us ingroups of twenty-five or so during ashort period of four years; while allthis energy is being spent upon asearch for the magic formula where¬by we may pass culture from lip tolip rather than from soul to soul, we,the youth, grist for the mill, are leftto age four years in the store room—wheels humming all around us butalways in the next room.I mean just this: that there is nomagic formula, you experimrntalists, our own wine, women, and song, butgood fellows, good times, and goodintent.Furthermore, we kow-tow to noone fraternity on campus, but desireto cooperate with all of them.Please instruct the above-mention¬ed animal that we shall meet him “be¬hind the Lexington at one o’clock.”V.

For the third consecutive year,the weather man has thwarted the ef¬forts of Dan Hoffer to make a con¬ference winner out of the Maroonhockey team. In fact, it has thwartedhis efforts to make a .Maroon hockeyteam. But since old man Sol is go¬ing to put on a disappearing act ina day or so, according to the weath¬erman’s latest predictions, thechances are that the Midway rinkwill stay hard long enough for somereal workouts.For the pa.st few weeks Coach Hof¬fer has been putting his charges (alleight of ’em) through their paceson the indoor Coliseum rink, but thecoming auto show has ruined that.Adding in the fact that most of thesquad members have had no previousexperience, it is extremely unlikelythat (he Maroons w'ill win the con¬ference championship this year. Infact, it is extremely unlikely thatthe Maroons will play any collegeteam this year.Clyde Devine, center on the Ore¬gon State eleven, played through sev¬en games without giving away to asubstitute or calling for time out.
