PHONES Business Manager .951 Editor .-.655 Concerning the Bonfire Three weeks is too long to spend in the construction of the annual frosh bonfire for Homecoming. All-night toil for any length of time is a serious handicap for the freshmen and should be eliminated if possible. The suggestion that the length of time for work on the pyre he shortened was made at the meeting of the faculty Wednes day and is the result of instances of failures and poor work in the past. The Emerald feels that the limit of time should be emphasized rather than the limit on size. With the size of the bonfire held down to certain hard and fast dimensions there is little opportunity for class spirit. And class spirit is something which will become a little weaker year by year unless something is done to strengthen it. The chief reason for spending so much time has been that organ ization has been poor and a few freshmen have been left to do most of the work. If the working period could be limited the students could expect every freshman to do his share. As it is, only those whose loyalty to the University is greater than their regard for themselves and their studies do consistent work. With the proper organization it should be possible to build a bonfire of sufficient size without taking so much time. Leaders and committees could be appointed beforehand and sources of material could be located, without disturbing the work of the freshmen. Then a few days before the Homecoming game the whole class could turn out and do us much work as they could do without organization in three weeks. The proposal to start work Thursday noon and continue until Friday night fails to give sufficient time. Those who have partici pated in the work in former years know that even if every man in the freshmen class worked all Thursday afternoon, all that night, and all day Friday the result would bring 1o the returning alumni, disappointment and the feeling that the University was gradually losing ils traditions. The University is obligated to the old grads who will come home November 11, to make the occasion typical of Oregon Spirit. If Homecoming is to be maintained, if we are to hold the alumni, we must make them feel that even in the rush of becoming a big Uni versity we are maintaining our traditions and keeping our individ uality. The time limit idea is excellent and is better than emphasizing certain dimensions, but care must be taken not to make the limitations too strict. Set a time limit and then let the freshmen show the stu dents and alumni that they can carry on their studies and still build a bonfire which will help Oregon to victory on the morrow.

"MONTE CRISTO" IS GREAT - I Vlexander Dumas, considered by many book lovers as the greatest wri ter of fiction of all times, almost invar Idv used as his theme the safety of thi uies: but is his classic “Monte i t isto," which Hu* been made by Wil tarn Fox into a super photo production, which i< now showing Friday and Sat urday at Kugeno theater, Dumas drifts from the theme of which he seemed to be the master, to that of the oppression of a sou! that lived but to oppress other, souls. Though the story deals with a period in French history which abounds with dramatic incidents that well might serve as a plot for historical writing, i. e„ the Napoleonic period, yet, the writer was not tempted by such an al uring bait. Nevertheless the story is in all absorbing one which grips the spectator and holds his attention to he very end. CAMPUS BULLETIN Notices will be printed in this column for two issues only.
