Alpha Upsilon and Alpha Tau
Omega will face the KORE micro
phone tonight in the opening pro
grams of the third week of com
petition in the Emerald-KORE
radio contest.
* Richard Averill, soloist and
program director for Alpha Upsi
lon, reports that he has assembled
a group of musicians v/ho will
^ make a strong bid for the beauti
ful Majestic radio which has been
offered by McMorran and Wash
burne as first prize for the con
test.
Harper To Direct
Alpha Tau Omega, whose pre
sentation, organized and under the
direction of Ermin Harper, has
kept the nature of its program a
secret, which not to be divulged
until tonight.
Fred Norton, contest director,
yesterday announced that all
Thursday evening programs will
henceforth be held at 7 o’clock in
stead of 8 o’clock as in the last,
two weeks. This change was made
necessary by a nation wide hook
up of the Columbia Broadcasting
network which goes on the air
every Thursday night from 8 till
9.
“It is important,” said Norton,
“that contestants appearing on
Thursday nights start on time and
have their programs well enough
rehearsed and regulated so that
they will not run over the time al
lotted, since the student programs
must absolutely be off the air by
8 o'clock.”
Smith To Lecture
On 6Jazzy Blues’
Class Open To Everyone
Interested
“Jazz”—a serious attempt to
deal with the business of this in
teresting type of music—will be
the subject of a lecture with illus
trations which S. Stephenson
Smith, assistant professor of Eng
lish, will give to his class in criti
cism, and to Mrs. Anne Beck’s
class in the “Field of Music”
Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock
in the music auditorium.
Smith will explain symphonic
jazz, and the “blues” music. Dem
onstrations of the characteristics
which he will criticize will be
given by some campus jazz-hound,
and Smith will also use the phono
k graph to play the symphony of
Gershwin, “An American inParis.”
The lecture is open to anyone
interested, and particularly to
those who feel energetic enough
to crawl out at 8 o’clock, accord
ing to Mr. Smith.
Queer Packet in Vault
* * * *
Forever Alivay’s ' Tale
Forever Alway's package still
lies in the vault at the main li
brary. It is a plain brown paper
parcel tied with grey twine. On
the cover of the package is writ
ten in pen: “Records of the route
of travel of Forever Alway from
July 20th to Febr. 25th, 1927. Four
seals of blue and white with a five
point star in the center sending
out white flashes, are pasted on
the paper covering. Around the
outer edge of each seal is printed:
“Alone to almighty God, servient
' Forever Alway.
A wandering botanist, few stu
dents on the campus will remem
ber him. He first appeared two
years ago with a pack on his back,
travel stained and dirty. Last
year he came through Eugene
again and impressed with the kind
treatment he had received here,
left his memoirs and specimens in
care of M. H. Douglass, librarian.
Some day he expects to begin
writing his adventures, then he
will send for his package. The
message may come from Asia or
South America. Perhaps the mes
sage may never come and the par
cel will go on collecting dust, un
til some one of the future will
j open the package to read some
^ thing of the life of Forever Alway.

EXTRA-LEGAL POWERS . .
-By OLIVER POLITICOS
Frosh paddling on the library
steps or no frosh paddling at all
could easily be determined by the
constitution revision committee.
Nor would there need to be any
special legislation on the matter.
If the new government is to be pa
ternalistic, its very nature will de
termine the agency for enforcing
traditionss.
Any executive agency of the
student government should be
provided for in the constitution.
At present the Order of the O
and the Oregon Knights have
taken upon themselves the ex
tra-legal executive authority of
enforcing past traditionss. It is
extra-legal because the consti
tution neither definitely gives
them the authority nor even
recognizes them as part of the
student government.

< Major Interest;
11 Opinions Differ
% * -
_ ^ lit and faculty opinion has
bi £ -red both for and against
th osed change in the Ore
goi % rf, iccoming system which
was ^ public last Friday by
stat from Tom Stoddard,
pres, e the student body, and
Jack ,v. Benefiel, graduate mana
ger.
The proposal to make the Ore
gon-Oregon State game the Home
coming attraction every year
whether played in Corvallis or Eu
gene, has found more friends than
opponents among the students,
but the members of the faculty
who were questioned on the prac
ticality of the change regarding
their stand seemed to be about
evenly divided.
Godfrey Upholds Plan
George H. Godfrey, director of
the Bureau of Public Relations:—
“If we want to have a real Home
coming every year, we must have
a big game for it. This plan ap
pears to me to be a real cure for
the spiritless Homecomings which
we witness here the years the
Oregon State game is played in
Corvallis.
Jeannette Calkins, alumni sec
retary and editor of Old Oregon:
—I can’t see any possible good in
this plan. The great body of al
umni would drive from Portland
and other cities to Corvallis for
the game and return at once, with
out taking the trouble to visit the
Oregon campus. We always have
a capacity crowd for the Oregon
State game anyway, and merely
making it the Homecoming game
would not swell the gate receipts.
And it would not seem like Home
coming to the alumni. Homecom
ing would not be Homecoming to
them on the Oregon State cam
pus.”
Suggestion Criticized
Harold Johnson, punior in busi
ness administration: “I am in fa
vor of the general idea, but it
seems to me as though it would be
rather hard on the alumni. And
wouldn’t it tend to lower the gate
receipts for the season? It cer
tainly couldn’t add much to the
Oregon State game receipts, and
would of course cut down the at
tendance of the game played in
Eugene which would ordinarily be
the Homecoming contest.”
Joe Freck, junior in business ad
ministration: “Why not? Stan
ford and California have been
working the same system for
years and they are further apart
than Eugene and Corvallis.”
Bobby Robinson, football star:
“I don’t think Homecoming would
be Homecoming unless the game
were here in Eugene.”
“Tony” Peterson, Emerald busi
ness staff: “I think that in this
day and age of speed, that it is
just the thing to do.’*
John Anderson, star swimmer:
“It’s a good idea; it would make
every Homecoming a financial
success.”
Brad Harrison, tenni3 star: “It
seems to rne that it is the only
thing to do.”
Bill Knox: “A great idea! I'm
all for it!”
Howe Will Have
Operation Soon
All Classes Have Been
Taken by Professors
Prof. H. C. Howe, of the Eng
lish department, has given up all
his classes for the rest of the term,
and perhaps for spring term, to
undergo a thyroid operation, it
was announced yesterday.
Professor Howe was bothered
with thyroid trouble five years
ago, and he recently has had a
recurrence of this illness. The date
of his operation has not been set,
as he is not well enough to stand
it at present.
Howe had classes in survey of
English literature, living writers,
English poetry, and Shelley. All
have been taken over by other
teachers in the English depart
ment except the poetry class,
which has not yet been arranged
for.
And now comes the news that
serenades after midnight at Ne
braska university have been for
bidden by police.

Drought, Raids, Over-taxation
China’s Trouble, Says Blue
Between fifteen and twenty mil
lion people are dying of starva
tion in China, and the chief reason
is the military raids of the revo
lutionary forces, coupled with the
drought, over-taxation, and lack
of seed grain. This is the opinion
of Verne G. Blue, assistant pro
fessor of history, who traveled in
the Orient last summer on a Mur
ray Warner trailing fellowship.
The main famine regions are in
the north of China Shensu, Chi
hli, and Shansi, the sections which
are chiefly affected by the revo
lution which is now taking "place
in China. This is the agricultural
region of China which is naturally
subject to both floods and drought,
and the ravages of contending re
ligious factions, decrease in popu
lation from disease or war, and
the lack of seed grain, have
brought on the worst Chinese fam
ine in years.
“Undoubtedly there is some can
nibalism there, but no more than
there ever is in such a famine,”
says Mr. Blue.
“I believe that the Red Cross
isn’t even trying to do anything
to relieve the famine but it is a
problem too large for any organi
zation to handle adequately. It is
another complete, utter social dis
integration.”
The other parts of China are
doing what they can to relieve the
trouble in northern China, accord
ing to Mr. Blue, but are hindered
by lack of adequate means of
transportation to so much of the
afflicted area.
“The stores of the famine re
gions are becoming so depleted
that even the armies are leaving,
so the worst ravages may be dis
continued and the problem may
solve itself. The danger of sup
plies being seized by rebels is one
of the things that has prevented
relief of the famine, but this fac
tor may be eliminated soon, if the
rebel armies leave,” states Mr.
Blue.
