Elaborated Social Calendar there are not enough hours in every day, or enough days in every week, in which to get everything accomplished has been the conclusion of generations of students. Those stu dents who plan and attempt to schedule lectures, plays, pro grams, and concerts have this very forcibly brought to their attention. It does seem, however, that it should not be necessary to schedule two such outstanding events as the annual concert of the University Symphony orchestra and Herr Fischer's lecture on Hungarian contributions to civilization on the same evening. There are many students, we are assured, who would like to attend both and would do so if they came at different times. Quite possibly the scheduling of thyse two events on the same night was unavoidable. The fact remains, however, that this is only one of many instances in, .which important programs are set for the same time. A central office where events of all kinds and descriptions would be scheduled a week or so in advance would be a distinct asset to the campus by eliminating unintentional conflicts and spreading activities over greater periods of time. Something on the order of an enlarged and elaborated social calendar such as is now kept in the dean of women's office would satisfy the need now felt on the campus. Either the A. S. U. O. or one of the University administrative offices is the logical agency to undertake the problem of organ izing such a calendar. It is a feasible and practical suggestion, we believe. . i: Oregon’s Gallant IOO ',J~'HOSE gallant 100 who have been the backbone of every foot ball welcome or sendoff rally this term w'ere on hand again at the downtown depot yesterday noon. Good old loyal 100— we congratulate you. When the Webfoots came back early one morning from the U. S. C. game on the very short end of the score, the same band of greeters was on hand. When the team set out on a 3000-mile trip to New York City, they were present for the rally at the Igloo. Yesterday noon as Doc Spears huddled his Ducks onto the train for California they turned out to wish the boys good luck. Good \>ld 100, always faithful always there. The only rally all term in which virtually the entire student body has shown the least spark of actual interest was the wel coming celebration for the victorious Webfoots when they came home from New York. THAT was a rally. Yesterday’s sendoff was the worst exhibition possible on the campus’ part for a team that was leaving to meet two hard foes U. C. L. A. and St. Mary's with the fine chance of return ing with the second place in the coast conference tucked under its wing. Who showed up? Our loyal 100, plus a goodly number of bandsmen who had heard there was to be a rally. Kelsey Slocum, yell king, was on hand, but there were no yells. Carson Mathews, rally chairman, was there, too, but that's as far as action from his committee went. There were two tunes by the band, a little spontaneous cheering, a few handclasps, and the team went on its way. A fine sendoff! Says you? “College students might as well be given hot dogs as diplomas when they graduate from college, for at least they could eat the hot dogs, but they can do nothing with the diplomas.’’ The foregoing statement was given by Dr. W. C. Krueger, instructor in psychology at Detroit college. What about the mustard. Dr. Krueger? “Unless a scholar can search and tell the world what lie dis covers, it would be well that the University perish from the earth,’’ was the statement made by Professor Miller, who was removed from the sociology department of Ohio Stale university last winter because he attacked military drill and upheld several liberal causes. To take the students and alumni of the Uuiversity of South ern California to their football clash with the University ol Cali fornia, several boats were hired, and three official trains were engaged. Every modern convenience was afforded the enthusi asts, including music And dancing in specially outfitted cars. LEMON ♦ ♦ PALOOKA WHAT ? ! YOU HERE AGAIN?

Hamby replaces Walt Baker, sports editor, in pre senting the Thursday sports talks. The 15-minute period will be taken up with a discussion of Ore gon’s football hopes in the south land where the Webfeet are sched uled to meet the UCLA Bruins and the St. Mary's Gaels. These two contests will wind up one of the most eventful seasons in Ore gon history, and whether or not the team will end the season in a final blaze of glory is still prob lematical. Hamby’s discussion will endeavor to clear up many points and provide as sound a basis as is possible for fan predictions. U. OF 0. DEBATERS EVEN SCORE WITH VICTORY (Continued from rage One) Butte, vice-governor of the Philip pines, presented us with the silver loving cup which he had put up for the winning team. That cup is now on its way back to the University of Oregon library showcase in the best hands avail able. We entrusted its delivery to members of the "Oregon Playboys" orchestra, which we found on the S. S. President Madison when we boarded it in Hongkong for the trip to Manila. After having: seen scarcely any Americans at all for four months, the surprise of meeting five fellow students from the Eugene campus in Hongkong was almost too much for our weak hearts. The members of the orchestra who broke uncere moneously into our staterooms just after the midnight sailing were Joe F. Haslinger, Platt A. Davis, Clifton Iverson, Chuck James and Wally Palmer. The only thing that broke up our bull-session that | night was a typhoon that made , the China sea behave in a most uncomfortable way. The trip down from Hongkong was virtually an Oregon affair. Dinner music supplied by the or chestra constantly featured that dear old ballad, “As I sit and \ Dream at Evening.” As the ship 1 pulled into the Manila dock, the orchestra was ou deck playing a syncopated version of “Oregon. Our Alma Mater.” This drew a cheer from a group of Oregon alumni gathered on the dock to meet us. First on board was General Creed C. Hammond, member of the class of 96, who now holds the j post of insular auditor, second in , importance only to the governor* generalship. With the help of this ' old Oregon man we’ve been able to see more places and meet more people in and around Manila than we would have ever thought pos sible in a week’s time. If there has ever been a Univer sity of Oregon banquet held fur ther away from Eugene than the one that was given on the night of our arrival in Manila, none of us has ever heard of it. The five members of the “Playboys" swelled the undergraduate attendance to tal to eight, and five alumni com pleted the roster except for two guests of honor, Mrs. Hammond and Carlos P. Romulo, coach of the team that beat Oregon in 1928; and one guest of suffrance, who was an O. S. C. man. But when you're 7000 miles from Oregon, even someone from Corvallis looks good! Filipino students are the soul of hospitality, and no effort has been spared to entertain us. Several dances have been given for us, and have only served to make us re gret that all the Filipino students who come to Eugene are of mas-, culine gender. The women of these islands are causing members of the legislature sleepless night3 and grey hairs in their campaign for women’s suf frage. The poor men, realizing that the struggle is hopeless, are trying to bargain, offering women the ballot in return for their sup port of a move to modify the strin gent Philippine divorce laws. At present there is only one ground for divorce in the islands, and a criminal conviction on that ground must precede the granting of the decree, so the only way a husband can get a divorce is to send himself to jail for three years! Now none of us three is a flag waving “hundred per-center,” but we must admit that after four months and a half under several variations on the Union Jack, the Stars and Stripes that float over Manila look very nice. And one of the highlights of our week in Manila has been a visit to the man who almost succeeded in keeping these Stars and Stripes out of the Philippine Islands. We refer to General Emilio Aguinaldo, the leader of the insurrection against American occupation after the Spanish-American war, and the first president of the short-lived Philippine Republic. When we called at his suburban villa, we expected to find an oldish man, and were agreeably surprised to be greeted by a vigorous little figure of scarcely 60 years, who had two daughters young enough to be charming hostesses. Aguinaldo lived in this house during the revolution, and he has preserved many souvenirs of those stirring days. One of the most striking is the holes made in the walls of three adjoining rooms by a shell from an American battle ship, which crashed through the house while Aguinaldo was having a council of war with his staff. A hurried week-end visit to Ba guio, famous mountain resort, made us feel that we were back in Oregon. Five thousand feet above the sea, Baguio is featured by pine trees that have a real Oregon woods smell about them, and a good night’s sleep required the use of blankets for the first time in more than two months. The only cloud on our horizon just now is the strained situation in northern China. In the light of recent events, the debate we have scheduled with the League of Na tions Society of Tokio on "Re solved: That the United States should enter the League of Na tions,” promises to be very inter esting. But we can only hope that the state department at Washing ton will use discretion in dealing with Japan, for a “Good-Will” visit of three weeks next month would be sadly handicapped by a contin uation of diplomatic bickering over the Manchurian situation. Meanwhile back to the Univer sity of Hongkong, the site of which high on the “Peak” over the harbor gives it one of the most unusual campi in the world and then on to Shankhai and Peiping. * * * David E. Faville, dean of the school of business administration, recently received a letter from Manuel V. Alcid, former Oregon student in Manila. P. I., telling of the Oregonians' successful appear ance in a debate with the Univer sity of the Philippines. Mr. Alcid enclosed clippings from the Manila Tribune. The de bate received headlines in the pa per and a detailed account of the various speeches. The Oregon team won by unanimous vote of the judges, who were associate justices of the Philippines. The presiding officers for the debate 1 were Regent Carlos P. Roniulo, vice-governor of the Philippines, and the president of the Univer sity of the Philippines. The boys were entertained, by, the Rotary club of Manila on the day of the debate, and at the luncheon were three former Uni versity of Oregon students who were graduated in business admin istration. They were Romulo C. Avila, S. G. Padilla, and Alcid. The Oregon alumni in Manila also gave a banquet for the debaters, with General C. C. Hammond, an alumnus of the University of Ore gon, present at the occasion. CAMPUS ♦ ♦ ALENDAR A. W. S. council meeting will be held in A. W.

BOOKS OF THE DAY EDITED BY ROY SHEEDY GRASSHOPPERS The Grasshoppers Come. By Da vid Garnett. Brewer, Warren & Putnam. “The Grasshoppers Come,” by Garnett, the author of “Go She Must,” is a short but exceedingly well written little story of two men and a woman engaged on a long distance air trip to break a record. Their airplane crashes in a i barren place in Asia and the pilot, whose leg is injured, is left alone with practically no food. His slow starvation is almost unbear able. Then one day the grass ! hoppers come in a cloud so great that the sky is blotted out. Their arrival, long stay, and departure Garnett tells with amazing vivid ity. His description of the pilot's suffering shows an extraordinary insight and depth of feeling. Under his brilliant pen the grasshoppers become a devastating, impenetrat able force that moves on eternally, unchecked. The book contains six fine wood cuts by R. A. Garnett, the author’s artist wife. —George Root. * * * NEW BOOKS Some of the novels received by the University Co-op High Hat library are the following: “A Buried Treasure,” by Elizabeth M. Roberts; ‘‘The Almond Tree,” by Grace B. Stone; “Return I Dare Not,” by Margaret Kennedy; “Maid in Waiting,” by John Gals worthy; “Matthias at the Door,” by E. A. Robinson.

Eads, the old man with the long white beard, so familiar to the men in the dorm and to other students who had occasion to pass while he was busy tending his garden or trimming his filbert trees at 1387 Onyx, died Sunday night after an illness of two weeks. He had lived on the edge of the campus for over 20 years. At one time he was a model^in the art de partment. His parents came to Oregon in the second wagon train to be suc cessful in reaching here. He was born in Sheridan and lived all but 30 of his 84 years in Oregon. Announcing The New Rollins Runstop Hosiery Join the collegiate throng that’s making Burch’s its hosiery mecca.

McDonald theatre building A formula to end “Mother Hubbard buying” Bare “cupboards” or overstocked ones —are costly in any industry. In the Bell System a safe margin of telephone sup plies must always be on hand to assure continuous, efficient service. Telephone men attacked this problem of distribution in a scientific spirit — studied every’ angle of purchasing, ship ping, warehousing,costs, methods. There emerged a mathematical formula. From this, tables have been developed showing just how much of any item should be stocked to meet requirements most eco nomically. Result: investment in stock is kept low — turnover is speeded-up — 99.25% of orders are filled without delay! The w'orking out of this formula is typical of the thought Bell System men give to improving the telephone art in all its phases. BELL SYSTEM A 'NATION.^ IDE SYSTEM OF INTER.CONNECTING TELEPHONES
