Hundreds of Oregon graduates will gather in Eugene to day to attend the annual Homecoming football game and to take in the various alumni meetings. Homecoming is generally recognized as the greatest celebration of the school year and much has been done by the student directorate to insure a good time for the visiting alums. The Emerald takes this occasion to officially welcome the former students who are attending the celebration. “Welcome back, grad, we are certainly glad to have you with us.'' Each year the plans for Homecoming become more elaborate and this year those in charge have done their utmost to make the occasion the greatest ever. The feature attraction, naturally, will be the football game between the Webfoots and the U. C. L. A. Bruins, with the big Homecoming dance scheduled for this evening where alums and students will gather together to enjoy a good time. The present student body members owe much to these alums who will visit the campus. When any new enterprise is planned it is always the members of the alumni association who are first asked to do their share to help put the idea across. In past years they have responded nobly anti we, as members of the student body, ait. greatly indebted to them. Oregon has a great alumni organization which functions over the entire country and today plans will be laid to have it spread out to include the whole world. “Once an Oregon student, always an Oregon student,” might weH be the slogan of the association. We want the visiting members to feel as much at home now as they did in their undergraduate days and foV those who were unable to come back we extend you a stand ing invitation and hope you will be with us next year at Home coming. ■fV These are the words with which derisive classmates greet the student who has just turned away from the exchange of a few words with a professor. It represents a widespiead type of public opinion on the campus which is vicious and intolerant. A student should be allowed to gain more from college than what he can get from text-books. If that was all there was to acquiring a higher education, there would be no need for centralized universities; the correspondence school and extension services could meet the demand for canned knowledge satisfactorily. Contact and conversation with members of the faculty, many of them men of brilliant minds ami magnetic personalities, should be the unrestricted right of every student. But let him make a move toward developing any sort, of cultural association with an instructor - let him pause at the desk a moment after a class to discuss some fine point of the day's lecture, or stop to speak to tile instructor on the street, and cries of “handshaking" and “grade-raising” arise from the unthinking. This smothering point of view is so widespread that it seems to have been adopted by some members of the faculty, whose attitude becomes coldly impersonal or even hostile at the approach of a stu dent who desires special information. The basis of the whole evil is, of course, our grading system. In English universities there are no term grades, and relations be tween professors and students are richly productive. But here the cry is; “Handshaking, huh?” 'Handshaking, Huh?’’ <« a HA! Handshaking the prof again, huh?” Let’s Call In Science HERE’S no way out of it, folks. If we are ever going to solve the student-ticket puzzle, we are going to have to get the scien tists. those Delphian oracles of today, to lend us the aid of the robot. Let's be constructive. Here's a practieal suggestion for telling without any doubt whether or not a person who approaches a gate to a grandstand with a student ticket clenched defiantly in his mitt is a bona-fide scholar or just a member of the great proletariat try ing to cut down the high cost of living. Send to police headquarters in Portland and hot row a "lie-de tecting" machine. A simple mechanism, but oh. how el'lective! As each football fan approaches the student gate, he is grasped firmly by two huge guards, and a rubber tube filled with mercury is des irously wrapped round the birep of his left arm. He is then told to look directly at a stern inquisitor, preferably a faculty member, who asks him in a deep anti solemn voice: "Are you a student at. the University of Oregon, duly registered and in good standing?" The quaking neophyte says, "Yes." The inquisitor turns to look at a big dial which is connected to the mercury tube. If the man has lied, his blood pressure rises from the strain on Ins conscience, and the pointer on the dial waggles ominously higher. "Avast with him, varlets! He's no true .nan of Oregon.” Simple, isn't it? The two freshman girls who meekly complied when ordered to appear in bathing suits for a null racing were a credit to their class and sex. In furnishing an example in sportsmanship to many boys who will be shivering to Lad themselves in the ; ante iituatiou they showed exceedingly g' od form.

'Leave Car Home/ Eugene Police Say rpo relieve parking congestion for townspeople and mit-of town visitors, students are re quested to leave their cars on the campus instead of driving them to the football field at the i time of the Homecoming game. If students and alumni will go to the game on foot, parking • and traffic difficulties will be minimized. —EUGENE POLICE DEPT. •THE WETFOOT • “ALL THE NEWS THAT’S FOOT TO PRINT” WELL, LADIES AM) GEN TLEMEN, HOMECOMING IS ONCE MORE UPON US.

LITTLE JUNIUS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE RALLY' STARTED FROM THE KAPPA SIG CORNER LAST NIGHT IN STEAD OF THE SIGMA CHI CORNER AS HAS BEEN THE CUSTOM HERETOFORE. WELL, JUNIUS, THE RALLY LEADERS WERE EVIDENTLY TAKING NO CHANCES ON NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THERE ON TIME. RAEL TRACES SPANISH TALES AMONG NEW M1EXICO FARMERS (Headline from yesterday’s Em erald.) Ah, another Darwin in our midst. If some of our students look washed out after the homecoming festivities don’t blame it to over work and overplay; they may have simply stayed under the shower too long. * a: * A young Theta just told us that Hugh Chapman is so bow-legged that when he gets on a horse he rinds his feet in the opposite stir rups.

Mildred McGee, who is to be the leader for the occasion, will tell the group of her experiences in Eur ope this summer as delegate of the Y. W. C. A. on a student pil grimage to the continent. ALPHA BETA CHI WINS FIRST IN SIGN CONTEST (Continued from rage One) alternately on the same back ground by means of an ingenious lighting device, the winning sign was deemed to show originality of mechanical arrangement as well a? artistic merit. The first of the two representations pictured a duck close to the heels of the U. C. L. A. bruin, and the second showed an Oregon student vigor ously shaking hands with an old giad in front of the ad building. Duck Shelters Bruin The entry which won first hon orable mention for Sigma I'i Tau depicted a baby bear cub being sheltered from a realistic shower of northwestern rain by the expan sive wing of an Oregon duck. Phi Sigma Kappa showed the bear go ing down in defeat at a blow from | a mighty webbed foot, coming up j again only to be again subdued. J Omega hall featured an enclos- j ure inhabited by live ducks placid-1 ly quacking in contemplation of a | central nest filled with footballs j in place of eggs, while the inscrip-! tion, "Oregon Where Better Grads Are Hatched" heralded the display. Chi Psi’s welcoming trlb- \ ute was a float on the mill race, bearing the figures of a webfoot organ-grinder and a dancing bruin, putting on a show all their own. The Bristow cup will be official ly presented to Alpha Beta Chi to WELCOME GRADS We re glad you’re back again. Here’s hoping you have a Big l ime this week-end. I COME IN AND SEE US OREGON PHARMACY 13th and Kincaid PHONE 1086 right at the Homecoming dance, by Walt Evans, general chairman for Homecoming features. Working under Evans as chair man of the committee for the sign contest, Hobart Wilson has been in charge of the competition. His committee consists of Helen Dar by, Charles Jones, and John Pain ton. GRADS ARE GUESTS AT MANY FESTIVITIES (Continued from Page One) lids to carry out the general scheme. Several of the cleverest Home coming signs will be transplanted to the floor of the Igloo today be fore the dance, and will blaze forth again this evening as an addi tional decorative feature. With the “pep" idea at the center of tonight’s affair, informality will prevail. Immediately preceding the dance and lasting throughout the eve ning, the alumni reception, an an nual feature of Homecoming, will be held in Gerlinger hall, starting at 8 o'clock. A program of music will provide entertainment for those attending.

Giving of some 20 minutes to this campus chatter is the result of constant demand for bigger and better propaganding b> students who make up the ra- 1 dio audience. Miller and Johnston announce a continuity for Sunday that will represent practically ev ery living organization on the Uni j versity grounds. Theta Trio Feature Beth Ann Johnson, Nancy Tay lor, and Georgia Miller, who have ; appeared previously this year, will | return to the studios to offer some 1 trio work. The girls are known as the Theta trio. Another singing group made up of three individuals will be the Varsity trio. “Dubs” Palmer, Hen ry Kaahea, and Fletcher Udall are the vocalists. They also have ap- j peared before the KOBE micro phone this year. Wally Palmer and Norman John- , son will bring their trumpets to j present some novel duets of popu- i lar compositions.

Varsitarians Play Again George Nicme, George Barron, Leo Lohikoski, Joe Haslinger, By ron Patterson, and Morgan John son are members of Leo’s Midway Varsitarians, and the boys will again play tunes of the day. Broadcasting facilities in the new College Side Inn studios have proved superior to any yet used. A large crowd of University stu dents was present in the visible studios last Thursday night and thoroughly enjoyed witnessing the making of a radio program. Sunday night’s program is slat- j ed between the hours of 6 and 7 o’clock. Art Potv/in is director of the broadcasts and Chet Knowlton is his assistant. Hello Alums!

It was made under the direction of Aaron Frank of Portland, origi nally for Oregon-Washington game promotion, but has proved to be so much real fun that it has at tracted a lot of attention wherever shown.
