That, is the lime tor all graduates who can get away from their "work to revisit Ihe campus, renew acquaintances, and above all to see Oregon battle Oregon State College on the gridiron. November Ifi is about the dead center of the fall rainy sea son and a homecoming without a downpour comes about once in a decade if t hat often. When it rains,.Ihe annual campus luncheon, for which all students and alumni pay fifty cents, has to be moved into the men’s gymnasium or to the Igloo. As anyone will testify who has attended a typical home coming luncheon, considerable difficulty is experienced in feed ing the immense crowds. Lines of students a block long are forced to await their turn 1o grab their plate. When the lunch eons were moved to the men’s gymnasium, shelter was pro vided for the students only after they got inside. Standing out in the rain in the long lineup was anything but comfortable and kept many away from the traditional feed. Then the affair was moved to the Igloo and again Ihe line moved so slowly that it stretched for a block' outside the build ing while the co-ed waitresses tried to feed them as fast as they could. The Emerald has no bone to pick with the idea of having homecoming luncheons. It feels as does Tom Stoddard, student body president, when he said: “Abolish them? Over my dead body!’’ The fault lies in the system used to feed the crowds. With out fear of being too hasty, the Emerald recommends the re placing of the present system of discing up the meal for each student as lie files by, to one used at several other schools. Namely, box lunches. The food need not be prepared any sooner than is usually the case. Instead of dishing up while the luncheon is in prog ress, the lunches should be put up in pasteboard boxes before hand and handed to the students who file by. By doing this, the long lines standing outside the Igloo in the rain will be eliminated for there is practically no time re quired to {mud out a box. The same amount of food may be included in them as was put on the plates and Ihe confusion attendant with serving every luncheon in the past will be cut ■ down. The cost would lie no more. ' The Igloo will not be 1 axed to handle the larger crowd of (timers who will be eating at one time. Its seating capacity is {nrga enough to accommodate the number who will turn out. Now is the time to start planning that luncheon. Some arrangement must be made to more quickly serve the home codling crowds. Box lunches seem to bo the solution. Increase in Study Notable ET11Eli it means anything or not to have the number of students studying at Condon library double that of last year, there are many on the campus who herald it as a good omen, f It, may mean that more professors are putting books on reserve shelves. It may mean that the student body is liman ing jjiore “study conscious” than in past years, but whatever interpretation is placed on the increased popularity of the lib rary, it points toward a healthy condition in the university. The pick-’em-up-nnd lay ’em dow n dog-shaking marathon *s scheduled for Saturday night. Open house is a tiresome grind to the upperclassmen. Speaking of marathons, we often won dor what the ancient Creeks think of the modern meanings we have attached to their word marathon. The colleges and universities in the Ended States cost tKl.lO.OOO,1100 annually. Not to mention what the students spend who attend them. Scientists say that solving cross-word puzzles are little or no value in enlarging the vocabulary. All that pencil lead wasted.

Much encouragement has been felt by the enthusiastic way in which the Dads are already answering the invitations of their sons and daughters. All the faculty and student committees are working together to make this annual event a greater success than it has ever been before. Speakers who have been around to the different fraternity and sorority houses urging the stu dents to write home to their par ents were: Gladys Clausen, Bea trice Milligan, Katherine Lang enberg, Elizabeth Blew, Barbars Mann, Harriet Kibbee, Mary Eller Foley, Reba Brogden, Stan Brooks, John Yerkovich, Art Potwin, Bar ney Miller, and Robert Miller. Those who haven’t written home yet are again requested to ask their Dads to make arrangements to be down for the Dad's day week-end. A little competitive spirit is to be awakened between the frater nities and sororities on the campus as to some individual decorative features in keeping with the Dad's day signs. However, no specific decision has been made, according to Donald Call, who is in charge of campus decorations. Y.M.C.A. Men Will Go To Council Meeting The campus Y. M. C.
