Tom Stoddard, i president of the | associated stu i dents, Virginia J. Esterly, dean of women, and Hugh L. Biggs, assistant aean oi men, issued statements yesterday saying that it is up to the indi vidual to build up the Oregon tra dition of clean conduct and tem perance. Stoddard Warns “The problem of Portland games is becoming serious due mainly to the misconduct of a few students while there,” says Tom Stoddard, president of the student body. “For the good name of the uni versity and for the sake of those whom it represents, it is the duty of every Oregon man and woman to conduct himself or herself in a manner befitting their station.” Hugn Biggs declares: “Any mis conduct on the part of a student casts direct reflection on the uni versity and Creates the wrong idea of college life. We are trying to preserve the game so that it can be held in Portland. Conduct in the past has been intolerable and can not be sanctioned. However, it was greatly improved last year and it is hoped that it will be even better this year.” University women are urged by the administration not to congre (Continued on Page Two) Flashlight Saves Faculty Women From Unwelcome Midnight Guests A driftwood fire flickered low in the darkness. Nearby, waters lapped softly on the shore. Two figures, indistinct in the dimness, sat silently by the dying flames. Suddenly one of them seized her companion’s arm in a frantic grip. “What was that?’’ she hissed. Heavy footsteps could be heard crunching through the sand; they came steadily nearer and nearer. The two lonely campers were gal vanized with fright. Deep, growing male voices sounded in sinister conversation. Kidnappers! Pirates! High-jack et's! Help! The two helpless women sat fro zen with fright and listened to the steadily approaching intruders. “Hold-up men!” stated one in de spairing accents. “Tramps!” murmured the other faintly. The approaching men did not see the faint, dying glow of the fire. Suddenly they were blinded by the glare of a flashlight direct ly in their faces. With astonish ed exclamations they stumbled away hurriedly into the night. “Or course,” laughed Miss Mo zelle Hair, head of the correspond ence division of the university ex tension, “we found out in the morning that they were only a couple of harmless campers who stumbled onto our camp in the darkness. But we certainly were scared that night!” Miss Hair, accompanied by Miss (Continued on Page Three) Committee Plans Mammoth Rally For Portland-Idaho Encounter Co-operation of Students Urged; Stoddard, Reed To Talk Over Radio to Instill the Oregon Spirit With the Idaho game only three days away, plans for the rallies to be held in Portland before the game are being rushed to com pletion.

Reed Enthused Chuck Reed, yell king, was even more emphatic in his statements. “The supreme effort will be the big serpentine rally which is to leave the Imperial hotel Saturday afternoon at 1:00 and march to the field. The success of all our work depends on whether or not the Oregon men come out 100 per cent for this serpentine.” Radio is to play an important part in bringing the Oregon spirit before the Portland public.

Yet just that thing is done at Columbia university in New York City where the dormi tories nearly all range from 10 to 20 stories in height, said R. D. Faner, instructor in the University of Oregon English department, who attended the summer session at that school the past summer. “The campus is immense,” ex plained Mr. Faner, “and a lot of the buildings are skyscrapers.” Mr. Faner took a graduate course in American literature under J. B. Hubbell, a guest instructor, widely known as an authority on 1 American literature and author of several books. Mr. Faner found time to visit many of the most interesting points of the metropolis, including the bowery, the ghetto, Greenwich. Village, and the Washington Irv ing country up the Hudson. The old song, "The bowery, the bowery, I’ll never go there any more” certainly applies well, thinks Mr. Faner, not only to the bowery, but the ghetto. Both are indescribably filthy, and cluttered up with drifters. The streets are infested with dirty, yelling chil dren, and with ‘infernal’ pushcarts, as he terms it. It is hard to imag ine how people live in those sordid conditions, with cramped quar (Continued on Fage Three)
