We must get in toueli with the great Oregon family, nearly three thousand in number, and let them know that the Greater Oregon is going to welcome Old Oregon home on November Id with a reception that will revive the Oregon Spirit which burned even back in the eighties. A student committee headed by John Houston^ has the plans for the greatest Homecoming all prepared. Every or ganization on the campus has been instructed to urge its mem bers to write personal letters to Oregon alumni. These letters will be supplemented with follow-up letters and finally post als. Homecoming stickers are on sale at the University Co op store. No alumnus of Oregon should bo allowed to say that be knew nothing about the greatest Homecoming. Alumni, old students, and friends need not be told that they are welcome back to the campus, but they must be noti fied that a pajama parade, a gigantic Frosli bonfire, speeches, stunts and a football game between the University of Wash ington and Oregon will be staged especially for their edifica tion, Homecoming Day is the greatest get-together affair ever ■ngi'ncored by the Unversity. It is a family reunion for the ulttmni and friends of Oregon. Possibly the college days of many of the old alumni is far in the past, but on Homecoming Day this year the spirit of Old Oregon will blend with the spirit of New Oregoy, and for one joyful weekend everyone,is Qfoing to be “at college” again. Acquaint yourself with the program, then write and tell Oregon alumni and friends of the University that Oregon Spirit, is going to roam rampant on November 12 and 18, and Hint every alumnus who visits the campus on those clays, and sees their team play the University of Washington, will feel ignin the thrills of .1015 when Oregon defeated the far-famed Aggies, conquerors of Michigan, 20 to 0; of Homecoming Day Hub when Oregon played the University of, Washington a 1 to 0 gabe; of 1017 when Oregon trampled on the Univer sity of California 21 to 0; and of last fall when our football warriors appropriately dedicated Hayward field when they lowered the Aggie standard 0 to 0. Oregon has never yet been scored on in a Homecoming Day game. Write to your friends who are friends of Oregon that they are wanted to help keep up this record and add an other win to Oregon’s list. I Communications I * —.—--- — ■ ★ SUGGESTION FOR BAND. October lit. I'o the Editor: I have rend with great interest your ■ditorinl uf Wednesday, October litth ’.f.’O. "Give the hand an incentive” and et me nsHure you that 1 tun ei)imlly in erested in the formation of a good 1'ni •e rally bund, liver since the (>. A. 'netball game last year l have looked onvnt'd to the formation of a good band hat would even excel the fine appear mee made by the stmlent military hand roin that school. 1 propose the follow ng scheme which l believe will place the >and on a sound basis and will give Fhe University a hand they desire. The 1!. tb T. Hand consists of It* nemhers playing instruments furnished )>■ the Government, total value of which s about $200(1.00. 'Instruction is being riven this band by Mr. Heritor* Hacker, i student who lias had considerable ex lerienee as a band instructor. Make this nilitary band the nucleus for a Timer c i credit to the Tuiversity. The Mili lary !>epa tment stands ready to assist ti every possible wily in the orgauisea lion and training of this band. KAYMOMi l BAlltH. Major, lufautry, T. S. A. WANTS HIGH-CLASS BAND. To the ICditor: Tour editorial "Give the Band an In centive" is must interesting. It seems to me that your point is not well taken. Band men do tint want or need jin incentive in tile shape of pins on sweaters. It is not n question of reword. Tlu> luiiul musician holds his ideals higher than that. No amount of reward will induce the bandsmen to turn mere noisemakcr. As long its the hand is to have that for its aim, you will necessarily find the hand weak. In short, 1 am emphasising the maintenance ot a high-class concert hand. Take for example the ('allege Orches tra. It has jt skilled leader, one who chooses his scores mt fully, and sees that they jut phtye.t artistically. To him time and tune are of the utmost im portance. N»w take, on the other hand, the av erage bund. Hie i lass of music played is pitifully poor. Almost without ex ception. no attention is put on the ex ceedingly vital nutter of tuning. As yoi may reali/.e. membership in such ;m aggregation is a curse on an ambitious play e:. 1 would suggest that your I’niversity Kind he placed on the same scale as the Orchestra, l.et the same emphasis he placed on artistry. Insist upon its being a high-standard musical organimuinn. Through competitive tryouts select the most proficient. Where instruments or good music is lucking, purchase them. It you will weigh these few points. 1 believe that you will see that it is posi tively not a matter of a veward It is solely a question of having a hand with :t high enough standard, (food repute will follow of its own accord. Then don’t yon see that it will he an honor to belong'. Not until these conditions arc fulfilled, will von have what your editorial | calls "it representative University Hand." i lU lUI. CARTK. The !
