HK BRAVES CRITICISM HE YOIJNO editor of the A Diiilv Nebraskan of the University of Nebraska is to be admired, rather than con demned, for 11is editorial urg ing Nebraska students to vote for Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for the presidency of the United States, There is nothing especially admirable in t hat Norman Thomas was the man he en dorsed, but the fact that he dared what is sure to be a mer ciless wave of criticism is com mendable indeed. Doubtless there will be a shivering and shuddering of staunch Repub lican and Democratic support ers from coast to coast. The young editor of the Ne braskan will be called a “red”; his staff will be called “social ists,” and all of them will be “those young bolsheviks out in Nebraska.” But, regardless, lie thought Norman Thomas was a better candidate than either Herbert Hoover or Franklin Roosevelt, and lie dared to say so. The Emerald hopes the pow crs-that-be at Nebraska will have enough fortitude to per mit the young man to retain his position in the face of the criticism that is sure to follow. If nothing else, the editor of th(> Nebraskan has shown him self to be a person of courage, ■which is something in these days of compromising and hair splitting. It is not the policy of the Emerald to dabble very deeply in natjonal affairs, lint if it were as certain as the Nebras kan that there was one candi date for president better than all others, it would not hesitate to advocate that candidate to its readers. LAW SCHOOL TO THE FHONT A | ''IMS last summer 1 lii- school of law offered its first sum mer course of study. So suc cessful was the session that plans are now under way not only to continue the .summer sessions in the future, hut also to extend the length of the summer term from six to eleven weeks. Twenty-four students from the I’niversity of Oregon and six from other schools were enrolled in the courses. The session represented the first step toward placing the law school on a four-quarter, rather than a three-quarter basis. An economic waste re sults Imtli to tin1 state and to the law students by operating only three-quarters of the time. The capital investments is the same in either ease. The library is one of the best on the Pacific coast and should not stand idle one-fourth of the year. quent recitations which were required of each student re suited in a thoroughness of preparation which seemed to surpass that id’ the regular sessions. Then, too. the introduction of the summer session in law is a valuable step in Dean Wayne 1j. Morse's plan to establish at Oregon a Pacific coast institute in law and the administrutiou of justice. Sum I lucr session work in law is the nucleus around which this pro i posed institute max be develop j ed. Outstanding leaders in the legal profession would be in vited to discuss in round table groups ^various legal and judi cial problems. A well organ iued and firmly established law I school summer session is neees- t sar.v in order to give intellec I tun! vigor to such an institute, I and the summer work could | serve as a sort of post law i courses for law, trs and judge;. who wish to review certain fields of law. Ever since his appointment as clean, a little over a year ago, Mr. Morse has concen trated on improving the scope and extent of work given in his school, and already has gained national reputation and praise for his splendid admin istrative work. lie and his as sociates in the law school fac ulty deserve commendation for their hard work and effici ency in conducting the school the past session. QUICK! A DECISION! TJ E(JAR1)LESS of its merits and advantages, open house soon will he abandoned permanently if the different or ganizations must conduct a small war each autumn to as sure its continuance. It seems.strange that an af fair so relatively unimportant cannot he held every year with out several campus leaders hav ing to hurl epithets to relieve tlieir personal feelings on the situation. Strange indeed must it seem to the freshmen, for whose par ticular benefit the custom of open-house was founded*, to find the upper-classmen on the campus quarreling over the holding of an affair that was fundamentally designed to pro mote friendship. Does open-house involve so much bother, expense and time that the campus must debate upon it every fall? Other af fairs of far greater importance are conducted annually without necessitating any strife. Sup posing the authorities at Ore gon and Oregon State were to conduct a prolonged argument over the holding of the football game each season? The Emerald is of the opin ion that open-house is a worth while social custom, but does not thyik its value can begin to be proportionate to the time and bother that is expended upon it. There could be noth ing more sensible this autumn than to come to a quick and hasty agreement upon the hold ing of open-house, and then let the decision abide in'the years to come. The annual debate bn tin matter usually delays open house so long that much of its benefit is nullified by the time it is held. DEAN AND SALLY J)KRCllEI) above oue of tin* larjrest colleges on the coast is. or was, a largo electric sign owned by a famous breakfast food company. At night this sign may lie seen shouting to the world in great, brilliant letters, the slogan of the com pany, "I ntouehed by Human Hands!” That is ti neat hit of irony. Another university, smaller than the lirst. The bulletin bottl'd in the Journalism build ing. -V little notice attracts' our eye. "Journalism majors, one and all. tire welcome at Dean and ^ally Allen s home, any or even Wednesday evening from 7 :J0 to 10:.'!0. Not a party, a reception, or tin “At home”: come as you tire, when you please, do as \ on please, and go when you please,” Oregon is not a vast diploma! factory, but neither is it a small university. Personal! touches such as these are till too lacking. Too often students slide the well greased and effi cient tracks in absorbing an education in college with never a touch ot the real personalities of the school. It is easy to see* the causes of the slow death of school spirit when one considers the similarity of many colleges an assembly line in the Ford plant. It is exactly this sort of per sonal touch that makes graclu | ates of journalism remember and love Dean and Sally Allen. Here is no mere employee of an educational system, but a ' great personality whose sole | intent is the better understand : ing and companionship of stu ! dents, so that he may better be i able to guide them. Dean and Sally Allen repre I sent a phase of college life that we are thankful has not been j completely stifled by the Great j System. -- THE EYES OF THE TEAM AN INVALUABLE asset to Oregon's footl»al 1 team is .Jack O’Brien. This shrewd student of the game, who ranks among the premier scouts of the nation, is more than an assistant coach. He is a vital 'factor in the team’s success. When lie scouts an opposing eleven, you may be sure that Oregon’s players will have a thorough knowledge of that opponent’s attack and defense when they enter the game. Like many another capable aide, Jack O’Brien stays ini the background, leaving the front of the picture to others. His name never figures in the j forecasting of football games,! but he plays an important pari | in the shaping of Oregon’s football destinies. The Uni versity made no mistake when it retained Jack O’Brien on its, coaching staff. The popularity of the five cent marble games, which fill [ every campus eating place, still continues despite the de pression. Of course, it isn’t j gambling. In gambling, the gambler presumably has some chance of getting his money The campaign promises of Hoover and Roosevelt in deal ing with the over-depressed farmers, rather makes us won der if that class would be much better off even if all the prom ises were kept. promenade by carol hurlburt pOLLOWING fashions requires just about as much astuteness as following- the stock market. It requires foresight to tell when things are going up or coming clown, and so if you were really clever in purchasing your fall wardrobe, did a lot of figuring at night and window shopped, you are probably just now ready to get your new wrap. So here is the up and up on the situation. * * * If I were buying a new wrap for dress occasions, I’d invest in one of lustrous cloth, cut on the bias, high-waisted, broad - shouldered, and full sleeved. It would be col- : larless, so that with it I could wear one of the tricky coachman’s capes, very smart, very new, fash ioned from soft fur with a short stand-up collar. These capelets, which bring back memories of the Victorian era, de serve a word to themselves, as they can be worn not only over a coat, but over a street or afternoon dress and for evening. They are always short, some of them like tiny shawls, and others like fichus, tying in front with a large flat bow. * * * The cape and the fur jacket, on duty day or night, are designed for the woman with narrow hips and an up and coming circulation. « * * Vionnet created the collarless 1 coat. It is still new, but stylists predict its increasing popularity With it, you can wear not only the jaunty little cape, but a remov able fur collar which ties in front, or a separate scarf fashioned of pliable fur. * * * Cloth coats trimmed in fur have come into new favor this season. The fur swirls up around the face in a luxurious and dramatic way The short plump woman would do well to wear a closely clipped flat fur. • * * If you are considering a fur wrap, this is. bv all odds, the time to buy, as even the most expensive and exclusive furs are selling for almost the proverbial song. The newest development along this line is the three-quarter length affair, either in swagger style or on the redingote idea. « * * And speaking of the swagger coat, that ’remnant of the war and augury for the future" ... it has suddenly seized our attention. If you are looking for a campus coat, you are probably choosing between a polo coat and a swag ger. The always trim, always smart i>olo coat is still much in vogue, but l believe that tHe swag ger coat will be with us longer. llu swankiest. most alluring feminine evening wrap I’ve seen was pictured in Harper’s Bazaar for September ... a swagger coat of black tie silk with pink polka dots, lined with pink, and worn over a frock of pink crepe roma. And as for the man: the most ultra-ultra thing for him is a wrap-around top-coat in dark fawn camels-hair with raglan shoulders, a knife pleat running the full length of the back, English slit pockets, and, last but not least, ! no buttons on the coat and no 1 buckle on the belt. Can be pur chased at Phelps Terkel. # * * We select for Promenade: Miss Anne Kistner because she looks like a model out of Vogue in a ' frock of black crinkly crepe, wide ! collar of black and white that crosses over the bodice and ties | in the back with a high-waisted effect, black and white flower | worn at the back on the left shoul- | der. With the dress she wears a slim black coat \yith a separate . coachman’s cape of black Persian j lamb. Her hat is black, zoops down I over one eye, leaving the other j side of the head exposed. Black suede pumps, black antelope gloves and bag. Contemporary Opinion . . . . Forbidden Cars rpHERE was amusement when the Oregon State college band appeared on the stadium field be tween halves Saturday in old fashioned, horse-drawn dray wag ons, and when three young colle gians rode around on a bicycle with three seats. There was a ripple of laughter, but not, we think, any deep responding sympathy with the cause. The cause, of course, is the re turn of the automobile to the col lege campus. The “stunt” was a mild and good-humored probing of public opinion on the subject. But we fear the students will have to fight it out along their own lines with the board of higher education, availing themselves of ! such help as they can get from the ! garage and service station owners j of Corvallis, Eugene and the nor- j mal school towns. The fact is that | most of the “old grads” are from j generations that did not know the i automobile as an adjunct to educa tion. They are beind the times in not realizing the importance of the “struggle buggy” in traveling the road to the sheepskin. They can not be expected to stage indignation meetings against the board for its j order barring the automobile from ! the campuses, inasmuch as they ; look back with considerable wist- | fulness upon their own leisurely ■ college days, and feel that even ! their legs carried them along too j swiftly. There are arguments on the side j of the car owners. But the young , gentlemen will have to press the j cause themselves. No public upris- j ing will take place in their behalf, and we suspect that even a good many of the parents are secretly pleased that their children are thus kept from roaming so widely and at will from the college towns.— Morning Oregonian. GIRL OUSTED FOR VIOLAT ING AUTO BAN ON CAMPUS (Cent in tied from Faye One) cost of a driver's license in the state. New Permits Granted After Miss Gorrell’s case had [ been passed upon, the committee granted several more permits, all either to married students or those who live excessive distances from the campus. The latter group, however, will be allowed to drive their cars only to and from the University, and will not be per mitted to use them on the cam pus. Mr. Spencer explained that the majority of the students now driving cars either have applied for permits, or have received per manent ones. He said Miss Gor rell was unfortunate in that she took out her exemption blanks several days, but had not yet filed 1 them at Rhinesmith's office when she was seen driving yesterday. The committee will meet again 1 Monday. ORDER OF “0” TO LEAD IGLOO RALLY TONIGHT (Continued from Faye One) |! Bass Williams, ex-Oregon grid hero; Bob Hall, student body pres ident; Cecil Espy; and Ed Morris, i, Ed Wells will act as master of, , ceremonies. For the'first time a new song. composed by Alan Green of Port land, will be played by the band and sung by all the student body. Mimeographed copies of the words and music are being distributed by the rally committee to every living organization on the campus. An nouncements will be made at the rally concerning the complete program for rallies and student activities in Portland over the week-end. A special student train is scheduled to leave Villard hall at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon, and will be met at the Portland depot by the Oregon band.

We hear the depression was so bad down there that they considered doing away with the millrace and other of their big attractions (like Ham mond and Johnston).

After all the trouble which was caused last spring by the high handed way the Associated Wo men Students decreed that the fraternities would stand treat for Dime Crawl, we had hopes for a more intelligent policy this year. Goodby, hopes! * * * , Geraldine Hickson, president of Pan-Hellenic, comes right out with harsh words. We men are "spine- d less, sluggish, snobs ' if we don t jj get out and stage a demonstration for Open House. Tush, tush, Geraldine! That’s fine alliteration, but it’s poor policy. * * * The mangy male still has some pride. Abuse and harsh names make him sullenly stubborn. Flat tery and honeyed phrases render him completely cooperative. Here’s what Geraldine's public relations counselor should have had her say: “Us girls are dee-lited with the gorgeous spirit the boys are show ing about our Open House. It will be just loads of fun to stand in a receiving line for such charming chaps.” But it's too late now. Perhaps next year. ts * * Since this seems to be Discour tesy Week, we might as well in vade the field of the “promenade” column and blurt out what we think about co-eds’ clothes this fall. They’re messy, unnatural, and elegantly ugly. So there, Pan-Hellenic! The ladies and gentlemen who control student affairs at O. S. C. have finally decided that they’re going to keep the Oregon game of November 5 in Corvallis. This decision arrives after half a dozen changes of mind. It will be a potentially danger ous situation to throw the two student bodies together three days before the martyrdom of Mr. Zorn and Mr. MacPherson, the educa tional Messiahs. I say “potentially” dangerous advisedly. If the University stu dents maintain their present mor ale, and if the O. S. C. crowd lives up to its usual standard of good sportsmanship, all should go well. * * * Nevertheless, it will be a good idea for the Universitites to evacu ate Corvallis and return to home territory as soon as possible after the final gun echoes through the hills of Benton county.

His blue-gray eyes, twinkle frequently and his firm lips are often smiling for he has a deep sense of humor with which he puts life into his arguments. Though aware of the psychology that appeals to the masses, his ar guments depend more on logic than emotions. He is an idealist. His philosophy is one that consid ers the future, but he does not for get the present-day necessities. He -is frank and plain spoken, and even those who do not agree with his ideas admit his sincerity. Referring to the idea that a large socialist vote in the coming election would bring about the adoption of more socialistic prin ciples by the major parties, Mr. Thomas said that in the process of taking out the planks from the socialist platform that the major parties would be apt to split the lumber. The socialist candidate said that he sees few indications for recov ery. He believes that this winter will be the hardest that we have experienced and predicted that there might be 20,000,000 unem ployed. “A vote for myself is not a vote lost,” he explained. “Too many people are voting their hates, vot ing for what they don’t want and getting it, and that is a real vote lost.” Mr. Thomas expressed the fear that if socialism did not come about that fascism would take the place of capitalism.
