Welcome Home—
Alumni of Old Oregon
Alumni of Oregon—the active members of the University
•welcome you once again. To see you and talk to you and enjoy
your companionship once more is giving us the kcenest pieasure
If your enjoyment in renewing the friendships of past days is
as great as ours is proving to be m meeting you, we know your
visit is more than justified; and we rejoice with you.
Oregon is much the same as you left it Oregon is bigger
always bigger—and some tell us that it is better, this last being
a direct result of Dean Straub’s frosh classes As long as Ore
gon is Oregon, we all know that the University will be better;
for the Oregon spirit does not. permit of stagnation.
Bigger—yes, very much bigger, and still bigger. To many
who have seen the University pass through the various stages of
its growth, the tendency to become ever larger and more bulky
seems to carry its peril. The larger, the more limited each indi
vidual’s circle, with a consequent trend to toss aside the demo
cratic traditions that Oregon has long cherished.
Be that as it may, Oregon year by year adds to its enroll
ment; and the new task that now confronts the University is to
inoculate this ever-expanding group with the attitude.
Truly the task is not one to be tossed lightly aside with but a
moment’s consideration. The situation is here-has been here
for some time—and will remain.
Apparently student government is succeeding remarkably
well in keeping things as they should be. This fall with a disap
pointing football season, the students individually and in mass
retain their thoroughly Oregon attitude with never a hint of
disloyalty. Oregon undergraduates returned to the University
this fall with their heads up and their chest out, and still are
carrying themselves in that manner.
We believe that today Oregon is much as she has always
been. Of course, crowded sidewalks make the‘‘Hello” imprac
ticable at times. Some miss the significance of that word; but
taken throughout the Oregonian of today is the Oregonian ot
y° The Oregon of today is anxious to give you returning men
and women the chance of looking deep into our newer Univer
sity, and is doubly anxious that you drink richly of our hos
pitality To the extent that you enjoy your stay—learn to know
us and carry away with you a real desire to come again, we
shall be satisfied with our part in Homecoming.
The big moment today will be at 1:30 when the kick-off
takes place. Some wit has suggested that the championship of
two counties is at stake. That may be true enough to one who
doesn’t know Oregon. However, wit or wits, the Oregon-Ore
gon Aggie game counts more than can be expressed. One must
' be present at the kick-off to appreciate the significance of that
annual encounter.
“Oreo-on Will Win,” declared the Emerald extra yesterday
afternoon. Of course Oregon will win. It is taken for granted
that Oregon waxes polite but very rough with our rivals.
The Frosh did well in getting the fire up at the last minute.
They are now permitted, by an ancient Oregon custom, to begin
thinking up stories to tell the next Frosh class. “Now when
1 was a Frosh—” __
REQUIRED READING LIST
OUTLINED BY TEACHERS
A list of books, principally from
English literature, but including se
lections from the classics of other
European nations,., is., being pre
pared by Dr. Rudolf Ernst and
Prof. 8. Stephenson, who are in
charge of tho general literature de
partment, a section of the Eng
lish department. Majors in the
course will bo required to read these
classics. They will be examined in
them at the end of the course,
more in criticism than in knowledge
of the subject matter. “The pur
pose is to develop a critical scale
in dealing with books. Wo hope
to get the students to acquire some
senso of tho values in literature;
we think that they can best ac
quire both taste and judgment by
doing intensive reading,” said Pro
fessor Smith.

GATHER AROUND
Today’s gallant effort is dedicat
ed to those brave lads and ladies
•who braved the rains and mud at
Oregon when it was deeper than to
day. To them good old days when
a feller could wear peg-top pants,
pug-nosed shoes, and funny little
hats, when the gals wore garters
and gaiters, lifted their skirts to
cross a mud puddle, and never smok
ed anything stronger than a corn,
cob pipe—we lift our hats and say
whoopee-e-e! Welcome back.
The Seers fairly beamed with sat
isfaction and pride when they gloat
ed over the results of this last Lim
erick contest. Such bright, witty,
intelligent answers, such a fine
showing of poetic genius by the
students! Truly it was quite re
markable. As an example of the
great ability to rhyme something
with Margo we quote the following
bright ones: Lardo, lumbago, darned
if I know, aint it now tho, your pa’s
dough, hard show, Pajamarino, and
Mardi Gras. Clever? However,
there were mjany that showed real
wit, and it was harder than ever
for us to determine the winners. We
hope they keep up the good work
and enjoy the show:
First Prize
There was a fair co-ed named Margo,
Who wanted to go see ‘White Cargo,’
When he gave her an ’ask,’
She took him to task,
’Twas a Freshman, that’s why the
embargo.
Vincent Hill
Second Prize
For he work at the local Wells-Fargo
Sam Suwol
Third Prize
Because he couldn’t make his Star go
Ed Manning
We will be glad to dole out tho
(free) prizes to the above lucky
ones if they will call for thelm at
the editor’s office the first of tho
week.
PRIZE WINNER FOR TODAY j
RADIO DEBATE CONSIDERED i
I
Arrangements for a radio debate!
with a California university have!
not been completed with the Port
land Oregonian, according to Alfred
Powers, assistant director of the ex
tention division. In case KGW, and
tho Oakland Tribune broadcasting
station, KLX, are available, he bo
lieves the debates will probably be
hold again next spring.
BUNGALOW TO BE OPEN
The Y. W. C. A. Bungalow, a
cheery fire and a piano will be at
the disposal of students and their
alumni friends any time Saturday
or Sunday.
This graceful yacht with its
white sails full, gaUanty brav
ing the deep as it rides the
waves on the Amazon we donate
to Fred Hendrix and Ed Theri
eau, heads of the rally and pa
rade. We believe that in the
last Week these two young men
have shirked their duty, lain
down oh the job and in every
respect shown themselves to be
lazy, shiftless and idle. We give
them this boat therefore, not be
cause we feel they deserve it
but because we suggest that
they get on it. *
When a rival provoked Julius
Caesar
He’d give him a bust on the beezer,
But he fell hard for Cleo;
He bought her a Reo,
And went to the limit to please her.

LUMBER COLLECTED
FOR FIRE BY MISTAKE
The class of ’29 has already ex
perienced difficulties in fegard to
some of the things that they have
used to make the bonfire grow. It
has been reported that a pile of old
automobile tires are missing, and
Hargreave and Lindsay Co., con
tractors, say that about 1,000 feet
of lumber was taken from them by
mistake.
“The boys go around and solicit
for their materials,” said Dean
Walker, dean of men, in discussing
the subject, “and often when they
are collected the boys on the truck
are not the same ones who soli
cited the district. In this way mis
takes are sometimes made in gath
ering the things up. It is not in
tentional on their part because they
are warned every year in regard to
this matter.”
The freshmen always pay for
these mistakes, and the money this
year will probably come out of the
class fund, according to the dean.
