Why Lose Contact With
Alumni After Homecoming?
Barring Jupiter’s annual practical joke and the loss of the
game, Homecoming was a success. The grads came back in
far greater numbers than anyone had dared hope for; further
more they appeared to enjoy themselves notwithstanding the
umbrellas and the score hoard.
Now the grads are gone and the students are attempting to
catch up with their studies. According to common custom the
proper thing now is for the students to forget the grad's for one
year and for the grads to forget the students. After a year’s
separation there will come another Homecoming and everyone
will again play around in the rain.
In the mean time, if precedent is followed, the grads will
read in the various newspapers of the multitudinous activities.
Perhaps they will receive an assessment in the gift campaign;
or possibly they will be approached for a contribution for the
Fine Arts building. At any rate their contacts will be distant;
and few will take part in actual alumni activities.
There will be exceptions. For instance, the Emerajd wagers
dollars to doughnuts that before three weeks have passed vari
ous members of the alumni will have blown the lid off the ath
letic situation.
Fair enough that they should. Dollars to doughnuts the
students do likewise. It is the right of every properly informed
member of the University family to express his opinions.
But what a pity it is that active students and alumni can
not work together when infinitely greater results might be
gained if affairs were handled by student-alumni cooperation.
Witness the recent blow-off in the presidential situation,
when the students said one thing, the alumni of Portland an
other, while the mass of alumni said nothing at all. Why not
work together in order that results and not word fests might
be achieved?
As matters now stand the greater mass of alumni have no
direct contact with the University; and it is only in Portland
where the alumni act in a body with any semblance of regular
ity. Small wonder then that when any matter pertaining to
University affairs comes up for discussion, the reverberations
therefrom sound like a dozen buzz saws eating through as many
crowbars.
A step in the right direction was made last week end when
a visiting committee composed of one regent-alumnus, one fac
ulty-alumnus and three alumni not connected with the Univer
sity was sanctioned by the alumni council. The function of this
committee will be to meet once a year and to make constructive
suggestions for the betterment of University affairs. This will
make an official contact for the alumni, but meeting only once
a year, its value as an active link will be limited.
This committee will probably lead to the establishment of
.a permanent field secretary whose duty will be to cement this
needed union between the alumni and students.
As there appears to be little likelihood of obtaining this sec
retary in the near future, any means, makeshift or otherwise,
to hold the University family together will merit the most care
ful consideration. For the University’s sake, let's work to
gether.

(Editor's note: The Emerald is
not printing any of the communica
tions received yesterday pertaining
to seating arrangements in Satur
day’s game. As long as both sides
have had their say there appears to
be no advantage in carrying the
controversy any further.)
To the Editor:
Now that the University has fur
nWhed us with a brand now dispen
sary, sonic of us are still dissatis
fied. While we sit in the waiting
room anticipating a red hot blast
of spray up our noses and down our
throats we do not feel much like
studying, not are we content to sit
idle. There are some old battered
magazines at the dispensary, but
they are so poor that we feel offend
ed when we are forced to read them.
With a plea for bigger and better
magazines in the waiting room, I
hereby petition everybody to bring
around the mogazincs they would
ordinarily throw away.

in the cold winter blasts and
downpour of rain. It is even
rumored that he had to borrow
a pair of socks from his brother
Fred. Because of our deep sym

in tlie latest firemen’s style,
we are assured that he will look
hot.
