An Editorial
That Failed -
(Continued from Faye One)
read by those concerned and was purposely disregarded in
the belief that silence might be the most effective combative
weapon.
There are doubtless a number of the faculty who would be
glad to simplify registration in the manner suggested, but who
feel that the subject is not one of sufficient importance to cause
very great concern. If such is the case, the Emerald heartily
agrees with them. Neither Alfred E., Smith nor Herbert
Hoover will be interested in the slightest over the outcome of
the question and the Portland Chamber of Commerce will not
halt in its progress to marvel one way or the other.
On the other hand, there will be some 3,000 students af
fected by tbe change.
The Emerald is not endeavoring to assume the duties of
the university administration, but it seems obvious that the
suggestion is one which will result in the improvement of a
necessary but unproductive function.
# # * *
After the foregoing editorial was written a news story
was submitted to the Emerald by a student who had gathered
its contents as an assignment for reporting class. It is only
fair that the receipt of the opinions expressed concerning the
proposed change be acknowledged, despite the fact that they
were given only in response to a point-blank request made in
an effort to fulfill class work. Any of those interviewed who
feel strongly enough about the subject lo write their opinions
to the Emerald in the form in which they would wish to see
them in print are cordially invited to do so.—The Editor.

To the Editor:
Why are we not going to liavo &
rally in Portland the night before
the Washington game? is the Ore
gon spirit dying out or what is the
matter? As a freshman just enter
ing this University I was all pepped
up for this rally and dunce after
the game. Will you tell us' fresh
men through your columns just why
we cannot have a rally in Portland,
October lit, 11)28, for the big game?
I am sure our alumni will not
think much of us, if we do not have
the midnight matinee to show our
pep in Portland. Hoping that you
will take some action on this,
1 a nr a loyal freshman.

Foreign Student Looks at Co-EaIs,
Pigging, Gatnpus Life, Is Amused
By CAROL HUELBURT |
“Isn’t she interesting!’* Every
one who meets Enise 11 ills, the
(rennnn stinlent brought here by
the Women’s league in the interest
of international friendship, is fas
cinated bv her. Her three room
mates in Susan Campbell hall love
her. The reporter is charmed with
her. in general opinion Frauleiu
Huls is altogether delightful.
She was Imm in Belgium, but
moved to tiermuuv when she was
five years old. The rest of her
life was spent there, and she gradu
ated from the University of Berlin
with In r doctor of philosophy degree.
Her primary aim in coming to
the United States is to learn the
way that foreigners, as she puts it,
live and act.
In comparing the European schools
with the American, she explains,
"The method of teaching is ipiito
different. There the professor lec
tures the whole hour. He doesn't
ask any questions and lie doesn’t
stop -” Kruuleiu Huls looked
inquiringly at the reporter while
her eyes crinkled with laughter at
not remembering, “roll, yes, ho
doesn’t stop to take the roll.
"There is uo pr.gram. When you
I'omt' ns a freshman 1»ort' you have
to study certain things. Tn the
University of Beilin you can take
whatever you want. Perhaps this
way is better, because the students
there are so glad to be free that
they never study; they spend all
their time in pleasure and in fun.”
"Are the teachers much alike.”
was the reporter’s question.
Kraulein lluls looked pensive and
rather troubled as she hunted for
the right words. "They are much
alike," she finally answered, "but
the professors there have (she hesi
tated and blushed prettily as the
word evaded her)—Oh, well, it
means that they have their minds
so much with their subjects that
they don't care for the things about
them.
"Now what is the word 1 mean.'”
she looked Imploringly at her inquis
itor. "1 must fetch my dictionary."
Off she rushed, eager, alert, anx
ious to make herself clearly under
stood.
When she came buck with her
pocket sized Knglish -German dic
tionary, the reporter met her with
another query; "And the stud
ents {”
The young Ucrutau woman laugh
ed. “Oh, yes, the students are a
lot alike.”
“But do they dress differentlyf”
“Yes, in a way; hut it is hard to
explain. The men there are more,
what shall I say-elegant? Here
they dress for sports.”
“I)o they wear white corduroys?”
She only laughed.
“And the girls?” the reporter felt
mischcvious.
“Ah! Yes! They are different,
too, but it is difficult to explain.”
As this young Teutonic woman
searches for words and phrases to
explain herself she does not use
her hands as a person of a more
impulsive and emotional typo would.
It is her face and eyes that glow
with meaning.
“But in what way are they dif
ferent?” the inquiry was pushed.
“There is, perhaps, the difference
between you and me.” The inquisi
tive one took this in. Fraulein Huls
is typically a student, earnest and
interested with purpose. The report
er is a foolish young woman with
frizzy hair and a red mouth. The
difference is decided.
The fraulein went on to talk in
a general way about the schools in
Germany. They hold no examina
tions to pass students from one class
to another, but the teachers hold a
conference, discuss the students and
then pass judgment as to whether
or not the student is capable of
going to a higher grade, but an en
trance examination is held before
admission into the University.
The conversation drifted to the
scholarship that Fraulein Huls had
won. “Three hundred students ap
plicated for it,” she explained with
her very English accent of the Am
erican language. “AT>out 30 won
out, and then 30 students went from
the United States to foreign coun
tries.”
The talk turned to her class work.
“I am timid in th'e class. It is hard
for me to talk and to express my
self. I do not understand the Eng
lish, the technical terms and the
names of your factories. It is hard
for me to follow.”
“How,” the reporter asked with
many misgivings, “does Germany
feel toward the United States after
the World war?”
Eraulein Iluls immediately grew
serious. “You do not understand.
We are not an unkindly people. We
are heavier than you, if you under
stand? It is a characteristic of our
race. We are not so quick to be
friendly to meet every one, but we
are not unkindly.”
“Then the conversation became
more frivilous again. “Do they
feed you well here?” the reporter
asked with her insatiable curiosity.
“The food is good, but much of
it I have never heard of before.
At each meal I must ask: ‘what is
this and what is that? Sweet pota
toes wo haven’t, but I don’t like
them,” and she made a grimace.
A green-capped freshman' passed
the window with his lady love.
“What do you think of that?” was
the question. “Oh, 1 think they
look funny,” and the German gir
laughed at the novelty of it all.
Traditional
(Continual from l'ugc One)
or not might bo a question. The l
greeting symboli/.ea the friendly i
spirit. of tho West but there might j
be some other way of expression.” j
“With the constantly increasing j
attendance at the University, I i
think tho old custom of saying
‘hello’ is passing into disuse,” said |
Professor K. K. Def’ou, head of the
mathematics department and a mem
her of the facility since 190 2. “It
was a good thing when the student
body was not so large as it is now, i
but it is something that numbers,
make impossible. For whereas it was
spontaneous before, now it is made
artificial. 1 do think, however, that,
the spirit of the ‘hello generation’,
that is, the spirit of democracy,
should bo maintained in some other
manner.”
“Why yes, 1 do think that the old
custom of saying ‘hello’ is becom
ing a thing of the past,” said Ben
Bmith, class of ’27. "I have notic
ed that the students on the campus
have limited their greetings, and
now they speak only to personal ac
quaintances. It was rather a nui
sance before, because when going
from one class to another you .just
keep your mouth open in a continu
ous ‘hello’. But it certainly became
a habit. Why, 1 still speak to every
one 1 meet on the campus, and if
it happens to be a girl 1 smile also.”

Hoover
or
A1 Smith
By L. FENLASON
, A. H. Baldridge, instructor in
English, is an independent Socialist,
not a Democrat; but he’s all for
Smith.
“This is the best chance for a
long time that the independent pro
gressive element in the country has
had to express itself. Hoover may
get a majority of the electoral votes,
but the elections in the state will
bo close.
“Republicans talk about Smith
and the Tammany organization, but
they don’t mention the three erook
edost machines in the country—
Varc’s in Philadelphia; Big Bill
Thompson’s in Chicago, and Andy
Mellon’s in Pittsburgh.” «
Hoover’s business ability as a
qualification for office, Mr. Bald
ridge considers one of the worst ar
guments. he has ever heard (and
being a public speaking prof., he
has probably listened to quite a
will not make the best president
“just because he has gone to Europe
a few thousand times, like a lot of
other Americans, and has dabbled
in engineering.”
“The government is not a business
organization, anyway,” he declared
number). The Republican candidate
emphatically. “The English system
is the best illustration of that—the
department heads in the cabinet
there are men like Smith.
“Another thing—the Republican
party kept us out of the league of
nations because it didn’t want us
interfering with foreign affairs; the
Republican party kept us out of the
world court because it didn’t want
us mixed up with European nations.
Now this same Republican party
says we Should elect Hoover because
he is qualified to promote our rela
tions with foreign states.”
The English professor believes
that the campaign is being centered
on the personalities of the candi
dates to divert public attention from
the record of the past Republican
administration. He also censors the
party in office for its demand of
strict prohibition enforcement when
“Mellon heads one of the greatest
bootlegging bands in the country.”
“Radio is going to cut down the
influence of the press in this elec
tion,” lie stated. “That will help
Smith, for 90 per cent of the bi.g
newspapers are Republican, or sup
porting Hoover.
“And another thing,” he added to
the departing reporter, “—but I
guess that wouldn’t do for print.”

F!amous star selects OLD GOLD
“One cigarette of the four I
smoked in the blindfold test
was like shooting a scene suc
cessfully after a whole series of
failures. It just ‘clicked’ and I
named it as my choice. It was
Old Gold. Which clears up a
mystery, for the supply of Old
Golds in my Beverly Hills
home is constantly being de
pleted. It seems that Strong

only motion picture stars who
don’t smoke them.”

How does OLD GOLD do it?
What’s the secret of OLD GOLD’S winning charm?
The answer is very simple. Three types of leaves
grow on the tobacco plant . . . coarse, heavy top
leaves, irritating to the throat . . . withered ground
leaves, without taste or aroma . . . and the heart
leaves, rich in cool and fragrant smoking qualities.
These golden-ripe heart-leaves give OLD GOLDS
their honey-Uke smoothness. That’s why so many
people choose them. And that’s why you too can
pick them . . . even in the dark.
