At Corvallis tomorrow and at Seattle Thanksgiving day the team will fight hard and fight clean. And the campus is united in the desire to prove that Oregon fights to win. But “Oregon Spirit” means more than winning the game; it means playing the game and assuming a sportsman’s attitude. This year’s Lemon-Yellow is no cellar champion and can be classed with the leaders of the conference. Many Oregon students are already planning to go to Seattle to see the game on Turkey Day. Those who have followed the grid scores realize that when the teams representing the universities of the sister states meet, “Greek will meet Greek.” Coach Bagshaw’s men have met defeat only at the hands of California, and the Lemon-Yellow has yet to be downed by a conference eleven. All indications are that it will be a real contest. Oregon students must remember that “Oregon Spirit means courtesy to rivals as well as support of the team. They must bear in mind that anything which hurts the institution in any way is not to be tolerated. The student body must be unrelenting in its prosecution of individuals who digress from the standards of good sportsman ship in their attitude toward a rival institution. We must remember that we are university men and women and that “Oregon Spirit is as much a spirit of fair play as it. is of victory. The varsity is fighting as it has never fought before. The students are solid in their support. There will he two thousand Oregon rooters at Corvallis tomorrow afternoon and a good representation at Seattle Thanksgiving day. Let's demonstrate that “Oregon Spirit” means victory—and it also means good sportsmanship. GIRL ON FRISCO PflPEF Helen McDonald Tells of Work on San Francisco Daily Miss Helen MePonald, class of ’1!) noil graduate of the Behool of Jour nalism, wont to California on a visit. Hhe was there only throe days, befor( commencing work on the Oakland edi (ion of the Sail Francisco Bulletin. It n recent letter to Miss Grace Edging ton, alumni secretary, she tells of hoi work on the Bulletin. Before going tt California, she was City Editor, am then Telegraph Editor of the Ls Grande Observer. On the Bulletin she does some assigned work, but mud of it is original. The main difference in her work on a larger paper, accord ing to Miss Milkmaid, is the organi sation. There is a greater demand fot features, and an effort is made to manufacture nows, or make a feature by taking a different viewpoint on some ordinary news she says that her work is easier and more interest ing than it was on the La Grande paper. Helen MeBonald is doing feature work of merit, as shown b\ the fre quent front page stories written under her name in the Bulletin, Her work covers a wide range of subjects, from Keith Vaudeville Actors Ann and Wright and Ruby Earl with the Keith Vaudeville Company at the Heilig Today and Saturday. interviews with governors, to street buttles, burglaries, and society notes. One of her recent stories was an inter view with Friend W. Richardson, the new Republican governor of California. Another story of interest concerned a California co ed who is now a Forest look-out on McKenzie mountain, Ore gon. The co-ed iu the story is Miss Laurel Canning, a former Oregon stu dent, and member of Alpha l’hi. Other subjects treated iu a distinctly original manner by this former Oregon woman, in the Bulletin, are the pref erence of Fast Bay society for German police dogs, the radio as a bedside aid | for invalids, Women’s Club activities, courses of instruction offered by the Oakland chamber of commerce, em bezzlements iu an Italian bank, and a school of whistling, begun by a Ber keley coed, who says that whistling j is just like singing, and requires as much training. During her years on the campus. Miss McDonald was very active iu student affairs. She was a member of Zeta Kappa I’si, Theta Sigma 1‘hi. Kutaxian, President of Forum, and Secretary of the A. S. U. O. Sho was also editor of the first issue of Old Oregon, which was put out as an experiment by Dean Vilen’s class in editing. While in La Brando, she was President of the Uni versity Club. She is a member of Bautina Phi Beta sorority. CALIFORNIA CLUB TO DANCE Affair to bo Held Nov. 25, According to Jack Meyers, President V meeting of the California Club in th, Commerce building Wednesday evening plans for the club dance were announced. It will be held Nov, :v>. and each membei of the organization twill b. allowed to invite an outsider. Mach California girl asks an Ore gon man and vice versa. This will insure a good sized crowd. Jaik Myers, president of the Club, is in charge of the dance, with the different committees at work under him. Plans for decorations, programs, and a feature are rapidly being formu I lan d. The members were asked to pay their dues early in order to give the I Club sound financial backing.

ORCHESTRAS ARE FORMING Ruby Baugh and Vincent Engeldinger Will irect Two Organizations Ruby Baugh, a senior in the school of music, is to supervise the Newman club “little orchestra” w’hich has recently been formed and Vincent Engeldinger will direct the Hendricks hall orchestra. Other houses on the campus are organizing orchestras and when this is completed supervisors will be appointed for them. These will be chosen from music supervisors who are taking orchestration and they are all to be under the direction of Mrs. Anna Landsbury Beck, of the school of mu sic. Some of the new music which was ordered for the orchestras lias been re ceived, and more is expected soon. The music is supplied by the school of mu sic, except popular or jazz scores, which are to be supplied by the or chstras themselves, since the funds for the music will not cover this. HANDBALL CNTESTS ID STURT IMMEDIATELY Organizations Requested to Play Games Soon Starting immediately, Do-nuteers will all have a chance to try their hands j at a game in which they will be able to make very good use of them—hand ball.

That is, the two contestants will decide before the game whether or not they will play a long game without courts, or a short game with courts.

Only 3-game scores will be accept ed at the office. ' I COMM UNICA TIONS ON OUR MUSIC To tlio Editor: Yes, we went to the concert and it cost us $2.25 per each. (For even a freshman's time is worth at least a dollar an hour supposedly preparing for something better in life.) And what did we hear? A fair expurgated vaude ville show. Also it is the first, much looked-forward-to University of Oregon A. S. U. O. concert. The chief features, including the chief encore, were the celebrated boon songs They are probably American as most things belong to America. But thev are as representative of modern 1 America as they are of the expatriated Africans who first spent their time ot day indulging in these dignified “spirit uals” to amuse their imbecile selves. | Such songs have a traditional place on every vocal concert program, but when they become a steady diet we j are apt to get chronic indigestion. Cer j tainly such a diet is an insult to the intelligence of any university audience and the University of Oregon is as good as some others. Turning to the rest of the program, the operatic number was not sung with a maximum amount of enthusiasm and feeling. Furthermore the writer glor ifies his own egoism by feeling that there are several baritone arias in the field of grand opera that would have been perhaps more acceptable. Why can't some capable artist give us a program that is largely operatic? There is a wealth of feeling and un icrstanding •> (he mam tin 1 grand ■ ; eras. We need inspiration and a stir ring up of our emotions for the life that we lead here is deadening in its routine prosaicness. We do not need to ask if it will take when we remem ber the crowded auditorium last winter when the Chicago Opera company sang to an audience that could not get en ough music. We must have music that will scud us away n freshed and stim ulated to do our little bit of creative work, not saddened and morose. When, if ever, we can have such a concert let not the German opera be omitted. Also in the rich vocal literature not operatic there are other s, ngs that could be used to make an acceptable program. A program could be limited to a country and give us the best re presentative music that that country has produced. This is not a wild spec ulative suggestion as the writer re members a year's organ concerts when each month's recital was devoted to «ue country. The recitals were given at a place that was not readily access ible yet the people came each time and all remember the pleasure and culture of those evenings. lapst but not least we should have one artist a term or even one artist a year and get a real artist who will , iime and give us his art. Better thirty minutes of Rachmaninoff that will give us something above the routine and go away with the feeling that we are hotter for the time spent hearing him than twelve hours of the same as the last program. No artist needs lower himself and his art to meet our men tality—we are not fools and children. We must have the best and not a con descending mediocrity. Only the best will satisfy Oregon Spirit and promote Oregon Fight. Take heed, you who are spending our money; we must have bet ter concerts in the future. UNSATISFIED. STUDENTS’ WORK PRAISED To the Editor: Of Oregon hospitality and Oregon welcome there has never been ques tion. But perhaps Oregon’s gift for skillful organization has not been bet ter shown than during Homecoming last week. It seems to us who write that the! work of Leith Abbott, chairman of the Homecoming committee, should have special mention whenever Homecoming j is praised. Though all of Mr. Abbott's] plans did not materialize as they were laid, his last minute changes were a proof of his care, thoughtfulness and resource. To Mr. Abbott's directorate, all nf whom deserve individual mention, and to his committee at large we are grateful that the tradition of Oregon hospitality was but augmented during the week-end. The splendid service; of the Oregon Knights brought forth I much well deserved praise. Nor did the wise and dignified leadership of John MacGregor, president of the As sociated students, escape the com mendation of alumni and guests. To the studnt body as a whole we feel is due a large gratitude for the firmness with which they upheld the whole Homecoming movement. The student body has underwritten Oregon Homecoming. P. L. CAMPBELL, President of the University. GRACE EDGINGTON. Secretary Oregon Alumni Association. STRANGER PRAISES HELLO j To the Editor: Give heed, I pray, to one who was a stranger within your gates. I left the busy metropolis of our state to visit your noble institution during its home coming celebration. I came not as an alumnus, an old student, or even a ■ friend. 1 was a stranger. Today all is different. I am not an | alien or a foreigner. I have a stake 1 in your school, an interest in its ae- I tivities. What brought about this | change in me! Was it the sight of your | buildings, the fight of your team, the 1 display of your enthusiasm and | "pep?" No, it was the wouderful 1 school spirit that was manifested in I the friendly "hello." This simple, 1 homely expression was the instrument I that changed my attitude. * l sincerely hope that this custom will ever prevail in your university life. If it does, you are certain to make more friends out of strangers than by any formal speech of adoption. Sincerely. E. BROKENSHIRE. Portland, Oregon.
