A three year contract is more acceptable, but we have not the right to bind a future generation of students live years hence and under changed conditions which we cannot possibly forecast. These should be campus games anyway. With forty minute electric service between Corvallis and Eugene in operation in a few months, there is no rational reason for travelling five hours to Portland to play foot ball. Theoretically, at least, college stu dents maintain football as a sport for their own pleasure and benefit. They certainly have the right to demand that the games be played where they can see them. That a great many students could not go to Portland for the game, even during the Thanksgiv ing recess, and that a large propor tion of those who would go could ill afford the expense, is too well under stood to be debatable. An occasional game in Portland may be allowable, but it is certainly not fair to the students of either col lege to contract for four successive games, reaching five years into the future. If O. A. has a more reasonable answer to the University’s fair offer to play this fall on either campus, Oregon students will meet it half way. Put four years for one is going some. ANNOUNCEMENT Faculty members and advanced stu dents in all departments are urgently requested to make some contribution immediately for the first number of the Extension Monthly, the new Uni versity magazine.

BARNETT BUYS RANCH Dr. Barnett, head of the political science department, believes in the “back to the farm” movement. As the result of a search for ranch lands suitable for investment, he found what he wanted near the headwaters of the Mohawk river in the Coburg hills. Early this fall, he became the owner of a ranch consisting of twen ty acres of uncultivated land, which will be converted into a prune or chard. Dr. Barnett reports that the prem ises are infested with wild animals and covered by a forest primeval, but he hopes to have the timber removed before long, by making presents of fir trees, seven feet in diameter, to the other members of the faculty.

MISS GUPPY GIVES GENERAL ADVICE TO FRESHMEN WOMEN Democracy and participation in some form of college activity were the main points dwelt on by Miss Ruth Guppy in a talk given to Freshmen girls yesterday afternoon. Miss Guppy urged the girls not to shut themselves off in some particular clique of close friends, but to become good mixers. The necessity of taking part in some enjoyable form of col lege work, outside of study, was also featured as a preparation for a suc cessful and happy University course. Miss Guppy spoke of the first two semesters as the year of opportunity in which college women can establish themselves firmly in the life of the institution. The Dean spoke on the necessity of safeguarding against the inclemen cies of the winter months, and warned the Freshmen against undue exposure to rain and cold. DEI Photoplays.
