Just such an experience is to be the prize in the Murray War ner essay contest on international relations. Believing that per sonal contacts with people of different nations and races are the most effective way to bring about mutual sympathy, Mrs. Murray Warner, sponsor of the contest, last year substituted the journey to China and Japan for a cash prize. Announcement of the con test with its unusually appealing award has just been made for this year. The generosity and very sincere interest which Mrs. Warner has in promoting friendship with the Oriental nations has made it possible that the prizes offered winners in the contest are of sufficient valuer to cause students to think very seriously about entering the contest. It is not every day that one has a chance to compete for a trip to the Orient not every day, and for most of us not more than once in a lifetime. Students really qualified to write such an essay as the contest calls for would do well to consider doing so seriously, for, aside from the mere training which would be gained, the possibility of spending next summer abroad is a goal which should and undoubtedly does entice every one of us who has an ounce of adventurous blood in us. Quest of adventure, however, is not what Mrs. Warner and those interested in the contest arc chiefly concerned with. They are not anxious to provide a glorious vacation full of exciting experiences for some fortunate college student. To show that they mean business, a provision in the contest rules states that students shall have had some preparation in anthropology, art, economics, history, international relations, geography, or Far Eastern politics before submitting essays. Mrs. Warner wants to send to the Far East a college student who knows and under stands a little about the people he will be meeting, in order that he may be more efficient in his study and appreciation of them. She hopes to get a good return on her investment in the form of increased interest and understanding on the part of peoples of the Orient and those of the United States, and she expects the student she sends to Japan and China to do his part in furthering this cause of internationalism. And so we say, if you have the prerequisites for entering the Murray Warner contest, start now and make a good job of it, fpr surely there are few rewards for a student’s efforts greater than the summer in the Orient offered the writer of the prize winning essay. Oh For a Horse 'T"'HE story of the Alaskan youth who traveled the 1700 miles ■*" from Sitka in a 16-foot dory in order to attend school at the University of Oregon rather puts to shame the tales of our grand fathers who boasted of traveling 20 miles for an education in the good old days. Of course there is a difference. The Alaskan boy is in search of adventure as well as education. He contemplates further jour neys even more glamorous and exciting. Not so our grandfathers. School for them was serious business. Getting an education neces sitated putting up with many hardships that lacked any romance of adventure. We want to go to school in a 16-foot dory. An education is enhanced by’such an experience. Unfortunately, not all of us can make such interesting journeys. But we can adventure in books and the lives of men. Don Quixote was no fool. People with imagination find life less drab and ordinary a voyage through the reasonably safe Alaskan inside passage is momentous enough an occasion to merit life-long memories. Richard Halliburton has nothing on the young man from Alaska who adventures in a 16 foot dory. Someday we, too, are going to start out in a boat of our own. And the beauties i f Gastineau channel and Chatanr Straits will dim in comparison with what we find. But though we have to wait until school is over before we can begin these adventures of our own, we still have a brotherly feeling toward the man who did not forget his Alaskan heritage. dlEY gave a new thrill. Not Rudy Vallee and a nationally advertised brand of cigarettes this time, but the Oregon band. 72 strong, attired for once in natty uniforms and making an ap pearance at the rally Thursday night worthy of the University it represents. It has been a long struggle to build up Oregon’s band. Each year there have been uniforms, but never such outfits as these in the. West Point style. We look back now on the olive drab army uniforms of last year ami the poor-appearing lemon-yellow and green outfits of the year before with a pardoning smile, and then turn to view the band in its new and deserved splendor with a feeling of pride. John 11. Stehn, band director, is the man probably most directly responsible for the excellence of Oregon's band, both in music and appearance. He has worked hard and built up an organiza tion of well-chosen men. Then there's Hugh Rosson, graduate manager, who has done all in Ids power to put the baud away ahead of similar groups in other universities ami colleges. And let s not forget those classes of the past few years who have turned generous parts of their funds into the band uniform total. We nominate them all lor our special hall of fame. Here comes ’1 HE band! Here Comes The Band! ♦ LAME DUCK ♦ Greetings from the four hoarse ; men. But we’re going to keep right on yelling till the game’s all over. «' * * Which reminds us that while we were coming down on the Rally Special a Kappa Sig asked Jack /£?) w Rhine, "Was that your new femme I saw you with in the Pullman?” “I guess so,” said Jack, non chalantly lighting a fag. “Bob Johnson and I were tied for hon ors, but I won by default.” * * * Jack Granger: Are you sure your mother knows I’m coming home with you? Johnny Painton: She ought to. I argued with her for a whole hour about it. We asked a Friendly hall lad' what he thought about the sys-; tern of grading by letters. “I’ll tell you,” he confidentially remarked, “It certainly has its ad vantages over the old numerical system. The D’s change to B’s so easily.” f * * * Heard at the Board of Higher Education meeting: While we are sitting here, let us see how we stand on the running expenses. * * * “Dear Lame Duck,” writes “Old Subscriber”: “Your column read today. Some of your jokes I have seen before. Some I have not seen yet.” * « * Well, it's time to waddle into the grandstand with a ’mum un der one pin-feather and a rooter’s cap under the other. Binford Tours Europe with Representatives, of Y. W. C.A. Partaking of a spoonful of honey and a glass of water, as all other travelers do at one of the oldest monastaries in Europe located near Sofia, Bulgaria, was one of the experiences of Helen Binford, who toured Europe with seven other girls this summer under the sponsorship of the Y. W. C. A. student council. Whether they performed the ceremony right, these American students judged by watching other travelers, for the monk spoke only German. In London Miss Binford attended the reception of the Prince of Wales. “All eight of us were pre sented to the prince. He smiled but we don't know which one he meant it for, so no one could claim to be the lucky one," she said. In the Y. W. C. A. group there were representatives from Bryn Mawr, University of Nebraska, University of Colorado, Mary Baldwin college in Virginia, Wash ington State college, and two from the University of California be sides Helen Binford from the Ore gon campus. During their tour they were the guests of the Euro pean university students who were mostly men. “To which we girls didn't object at all,” Miss Binford naively added. Sailing from New York City June 19, the group stopped in London. There they attended two Shakespearian plays presented by Shakespearian actors, which im pressed the Oregon girl as being unusually good. After spending two weeks in Paris, studying and sight-seeing, Muniche was the next place of in terest, because of its college and students. From there the group traveled to Oberammergau where they had the privilege of talking wit h Anton Lang who played Christ in the passion play last year. Their itinerary took them to Budapest, Hungary. Here their rooms overlooked the Danube. "We waited for a serenade, but the men didn't always favor us with one,” Miss Binford said. “We eight girls looked anaemic beside the darker skinned people of this southern European country, when we sunned ourselves on the beach at Margrette Island in Budapest,” she snid, continuing to be reminis cent. Sofia aroused the pity of the travelers because it was so devas tated during the war. In contrast to this their next stop was Bel grade. Jugo-Slavia. "It is sort of a second Paris," Miss Binford de scribed. Sarajevo, the most oriental city of Europe, and Regusa, a summer seaport of Jugo-Slavia and mecca for the rich vacationists, were other cities they visited. At the latter the girls tried to be as elite as the rest, according to the Ore gon represent a live. In Geneva. Switzerland the Y. W. C. A. travelers sat in on a few League of Nation sessions. The group of American students studied the customs, arts, econ omic, and political problems of each country before entering it. This enabled them to talk intelli I gently with the leaders of the country and the students. The way the people of those European countries look to the United States for the first move for the disarm ament conference in February, impressed Miss Binford. These countries are so jumbled that some will have to sacrifice in order to straighten out the econ omic and political situations of all, she believes after hearing the opin ions of both leaders and students. Before returning to Oregon, Helen Binford attended the Mount Holyoke conference for interna tional student service. This was very beneficial after traveling in the countries which were dis cussed. While making the trip from New York home, Miss Binford met the foreign minister to Siam. They were congenial traveling com panions for they had something in common — international minded ness. •TALKIE. -NEWS Colonial — “The Tailor Made Man,” with Bill Haines.

Landsbury, of the school of music at the University of Oregon, spoke at the Anglo American International Musicians' conference in Lausanne last sum mer. He left America July 16,. and landed in France at 3 o’clock one morning in a rainstorm. The conference which the dean attended is an international con ference, but is attended mostly by British and Americans who pre sent problems and discussions on musical education. The dean spent some time trav eling to various places in Europe where he saw some of his rela tives and acquaintances. After spending a week in Lausanne at the conference, he visited the monastery of St. Bernard. The next place which Dean Landsbury visited was Baton. This place has been the dean’s ancestral home since 1248. At Lucerne and Zurich, the dean spent several days during which it rained practically all the time. At Zurich the dean met a cousin, and they took a trip to the place where his father was born. After visiting Vienna, Berlin, .Stockholm and Gothenberg, Dean Landsbury sailed for home Au gust 25. “On our way home,” said the dean, “we had two days of good weather which we did not deserve. Outside of that, the rest of the trip across the ocean was rotten.” Dean Landsbury spent two days in New York, then went south on a business trip and later returned to Eugene.
