Kathryn LauKhridge Autcn Hush Branstetter Jack Woods A College Cheer for Capone "^y^HEN “Scarface Al” Capone and several of his select henchmen attended a football game in Chicago Satur day, they were vociferously greeted by the assembled forty thousand spectators. But the cheers were “Bronx cheers,” and the chorus of jeers and boos persisted so long that the notori ous gangster and his associates were forced to leave the stands before the game was over. The incident marked the first public demonstration of its kind toward Capone since he came before the public eye sev eral years ago because of his racketeering activities. Chicago authorities point out that it indicates how completely the false atmosphere of romance and heroism surrounding the man has been blasted since the federal government began its prosecu tion. However that may be, Capone, at least, has some definite understanding of how he stands in the hearts of his country men. It took a college crowd to shame the man to put him in his place. For the first time he received the kind of a wel come he so richly deserves. The law may mete out punish ment to the gangster after ;i iong trial, but no punishment administered by the law can be so severe as that he received when he faced the boos and jeers of forty thousand college rooters. If future public receptions of gangsters and their kind are as cordial, the real reform in our government will have begun. Student and $1.28 /ANE of the more serious-minded students of fair Oregon just dropped into the editorial den to discourse on the hard lot of the would-be pursuer after knowledge. "You know,” he said, "it’s a heckuva life.” "Yes, we do know," we replied. Editorial writers are well equipped to know that. "Here I am will) a grand total,of one dollar and 28 cents,” he continued, pulling the above-named sum out of a pocket. “I need some razor blades, a lab manual, three gallons of gas, and some tennis shoes.” After considerable time spent in what seemed to be deep meditation he said thoughtfully, “I don’t have to have the ten nis shoes before Wednesday, so maybe I can stave them off a while. The lab manual I don't need until Saturday, and by that time I ought to have a little more dough. But I've just got to have those razor blades right now. I think I’ll get Gil lette’s,” he added confidingly. "You can use both edges of them, you know. Of course you can scoot the other kind around the inside of a water glass and sharpen them that way, but I think I'll get Gillette’s this time.". For a while he was silent as he regarded with apparent satisfaction the result of his frantic planning. "But then, I've got to have three gallons of gas. Cars don't run on nothing, not even in times of depression of the deepest dye. Let's see, razor blades and gas . . . Nope, I can’t make it. Guess I’ll get the gas. One of the brothers will loan me a razor blade until I hear from home.” Having made this decision, he went out airily with a gleam of satisfaction on his face which would have betokened the happy untying of a Gordian knot of statecraft had it been on the face of one of our leading statesmen. Open House in the Balance QPEN HOUSE hangs in the balance today. Meeting around a conference table this afternoon, a committee of seven students will hold the scales of campus opinion and decide whether one of Oregon’s oldest traditions will survive or perish, or whether it will undergo serious changes. We hope the student counterparts of the figure of justice will not be blind, will not take hasty action in a matter that affects so closely all the students in the University. If the present plan of Open House is weighed in the balances and found wanting, let the following alternative plans be consid ered : I. Hold Oner House on two successive nights from 7 to U:SO each evening, thus eliminating the five-hour stretch louiid so disagreeable by many persons. li. Decree Opi n House for the freshmen alone, having each house’s pledges accompanied by one or two up|M*rcluss men and those other sophomores, juniors, and seniors who wish to participate. 3. I.et sorority treslgnen entertain fraternity pledges Mon day nights alter dinner and during chapter meeting hours. Open House is distinctly get-acquainted night lor the freshmen. Some nlaiioimist lie kept. a o But we feel that the ideal plan is the one as it now exists. Open House is the foundation of Oregon's friendly campus feel ing and the “hello” spirit. It should be saved. Asked as to whether they would permit their escorts to drink, a group of co-eds at Ohio State university responded that it was all light just as long as the escorts could keep on the sidewalk, and not forget to take them home after the party. Which confirms a sneaking suspicion that alter all. the co-eds care more for the party than for their "date’s" company, ♦ LAME DUCK ♦ | This rumor about abolishing that fine old Oregon tradition of Open House has evidently pene trated to the east. It was learned yesterday that several representa tives of the corn plaster manufac turing business were actively at work to save the Oregon tradi tion.— * * * Oh, w II—we think it is a fine ] thing for Prohibition. We mean I Open House. You see, after that night the boys and girls have the 1 corn on their feet instead of their hips. * * * What's this we hear about a prowler spying on the race? No, no, Algernon we mean the mill race. Little Jason over in £he cor ner suggests that the spy is Chin ese because of his Pekin habits.— Yes, we attended his funeral. * * * BEFORE THE OFFICIAL PIG GING SEASON STARTS, IT IS ONLY FAIR TO GIVE THE FROSH A LITTLE FRIENDLY ADVICE: Frosh beware Of Kappa Gump— She kisses like A suction pump.

"For the sake of the frosh, we grieve deeply that we can’t con tinue this little saga of sororities. We'll finish the list next time she says, “No.” * * * Frosh: What’s that great big terrible stick Jack Hempstead is carrying around? Senior: That’s his sugar planta tion. Frosh: Sugar plantation? Senior: Yeah lots of cane. * * * We would like to know if the said Mr. Hempstead grew that stick himself. It is rumored that he raised a lot of Cain on his de bating tour. The guys around the gymnasium say that the boxing tournament is not so awfully far off and Little Willie. who aellieved some degree of local fame, because of his ter rihle punch, plans to shine. Of course, Willie's punch is of the li<iuid variety so*we urged him not to try the tournament. lie countered with the reply that his punch was of the mailed fist variety—pretty well spiked.

Mr. Cutler is known to numbers of his students as ''Russ.-' We don't know whether that stands for Russell or Russian. We suspect the latter because he is always rushin' around.

Major Back Will Coach University’s Rifle Squad Major Roscious Back, recently assigned as upper division instruc tor in Oregon’s R. O. T. C. depart nfent, will act as coach of-the Uni versity’s rifle squad this year, of ficials at the military barracks announced yesterday. He will is sue the first call for tryouts in three weeks, and it is expected to draw a large turnout as several men interested in rifle work have made inquiry at the department concerning the formation of the squad. The new coach will bring to Oregon the benefit of his many years of military experience since he was admitted to the army in 1916. Major Back served in the war since 1917, and has been con nected v/ith engineering and in fantry outfits, his previous train ing culminating with a two-year general staff course at Fort Leav enworth in 1928. He entered try outs for national rifle team matches but did not participate in the events. This year’s program for the rifle team includes some tentative telegraphic shoots with other col legiate squads and a shoulder-to shoulder match may be arranged with O. S. C. Persons wishing to try out for the team are asked to leave their names at the R. O. T. C. offices at the barracks. Although the total enrollment in the military department is smaller than usual tiiis year, the officers in charge of the upper division classes announced that unusually large numbers are tak ing those courses, which include machine gunnery and advanced work based on the basic freshman courses.
