THE R O T C BATTLE
THE R. O. T. C. BATTLE
There are those who scaffolded at the saturday battle of the R. O. T. C. Saturday morning and wondered what it was all about. The detonation of charges of nitroglycerin discharged the troubled thoughts of those who cannot understand the reason for preparedness. It would be safe to say that the blank cartridges and infantry maneuvers iked some almost into anger. Yet there is a serious reason behind all the firing and field operations of the R. O. T. C. unit. It is far too serious.
The sham battle waged Saturday morning means that a nation is called upon to protect itself. The world is far from ready to settle down and live on a peaceful basis. The armies of the races must train, and then train some more. Neighbors cannot be trusted, and nations eye each other with distrust. The plan for a perfect and permanent peace is left to be worked out in the future. It appears as if this future is far away. One man dreamed of a lasting peace, but that man lies under the flagons of a Washington cathedral. The honors of the nations were bestowed upon him at his death, but the seeds of peace were left un-sown. The world, most of the world, does not desire peace.
One hundred and fifteen thousand men are in training in the R. O. T. C. The eyes of the nation are turned to the day when these men shall take the field in defense of their country. Wise hands realize that the United States must be prepared for the next war. Why is it necessary for another war? Because the world has yet but one method of setting difficulties in which it finds itself entangled. That is by force.
Once more the newspapers have taken up the strain, "thousands flock to our score board to get the results as received by the Yaps Crossing Blareout."
POLITICAL BUNK A LA MODE Personality which has been a considerable factor in previous political campaigns may count as naught in the oncoming presidential campaign. In its stead there may be a pleasant radio voice to sway the hearts and swing the votes of the Great Ameri can public.
Only this week ten great radio stations broadcast the address of President Coolidge which he delivered at the annual luncheon of the Associated Press at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. This chain of stations linked together is the greatest collaboration which has ever been made in the radio world.
It is a formal beginning of what will probably follow throughout the entire presidential campaign. No more will the radio fan sit down on an evening of popular aisles sing and played by the synopsists of the country. If he sits at all in front of his song box it will be to hear glowing promises of "what I'll do if you elect me."
These will be supplemented by vast accounts of the past success of "siff and party." And that is the way we shall know our new office holders. No more can the handsome candidate win the women's vote by his Rudolph Valentino appearance or by patting the touley heads of the off spring as they greet him at the railroad platforms and community house gatherings. He can save a goodly sized allowance from his previous expenditures of cigars. He can save the strain of his hand-shaking hand.
Ah, the salvation of the radio! The
candidate can make one delivery of an address echo around the world to his voters. Moreover, there is a solace for the voter. In a smoking jacket and addressing gown respectively, the voters of the household can sit in comfortable chairs smoking or daring, also respectively, as they are wooed to vote the "right ticket."
THE ETERNAL CYCLE
As the time approaches for graduation, the senior casts an eye into the future with more than ordinary interest. The report of an old 'grad' dinner takes on a deeper aspect, as he pictures himself gathered around the festive board piano his wooden spoon and trencher in the sheer exhilaration of capturing the elusive olive and casting the ear forward to catch the modern version of a very tame happening of long age.
The senior swear that he will never come back to Kansas with a姜 in the corner of his mouth, a diamond on his shirt vestibule, and a shud on his belt. He will not gather a few of the under-grades off to the side and tell wild tales of the days when men were men and students thought nothing of shooting out the electric lights. Nor will he make light of their athletics and point the strong men of his day and age. All this the present senior swears to.
How well the present student will keep his good intentions only history will tell. It is a safe say, however, that he will do as those who have gone before. His boats will cause the weary froth to snore along without a sour note. The boys around the house will force a laugh and then light another cigarette. If he insists on talking they will resolve never to boast when they graduate and come back. So it goes. A class graduates and comes back to throw the dog and brag. Each year finds a larger bunch coming back as a new class is thrust forth into the tender mercies of the world.
The latest form of congressional flavor seizing is to get a trip to Washington free by asking to be investigated. This beats getting a creek drained or a new town pump for rothing.
JAPANESE CHERRY
BLOSSOMS
The Japanese cherry trees, now in full bloom along the Potomac just under the shadow of Washington's monument, might have dropped a little week when Congress passed the Japanese exclusion act. But like Ajaka and Minako, children of the Japanese Embassy, they were unaware of the possible trouble brewing between Japan and the United States.
The Japanese resent the abrogation of the Gentleman's Agreement which placed the responsibility for their people entering the United States upon Japan.
Just when pleasant friendship was being felt on both sides, when both countries had agreed to junk their excess battleships, when America had aided Japan in her recent earthquake disaster, new animosities are stirred up.
They grant the arguments advanced by California—that the inferior of cheap Oriental labor would lower the standards of living in the United States—all the arguments they concede to be well founded, but they hold that in the last fifteen years only 8,691 more Japanese have entered the United States than have departed.
Perhaps Congress, harassed by the recent investigations and exposures at home, acted hastily and without thought. Perhaps the President will look out of his window and, seeing the Japanese cherry blossoms, will understand their significance of friendship and see that an apology is given Japan for America's action.
Usually a poor fish does not get into the swim.

Something new is offered at the University of Oregon in the way of amusement tax. A number of the women's houses will entertain at dancing from 6:30 to 7:30 each evening. A dime—ten cents. That is the only require for admission to an hour's dancing at any of the women's houses. It is urged that the men come on time and leave on time.
