CHARITY TO THE FRONT
THE EMERALD this morning concludes its ef
forts to urge Oregon and Oregon State to play
a charity game in Portland November 5. This
paper believes it has done its part in suggesting
the enterprise, and now withdraws from the cam
paign, leaving the decision to the authorities of the
two institutions.
There has been considerable condemnation of
the project and there also has been some praise.
The Emerald has been influenced by neither. It
still believes the original suggestion a good one
and thinks the University and college would be
contributing a commendable service to the com
monwealth by playing for charity at Multnomah
stadium.
Its previous statement that charity, and char
ity alone, prompted the original suggestion is re
iterated by the Emerald at this time. Castigations
and insinuations that there were other motives are
untrue, and herewith are summarily denied.
When it first started the movement, this paper
had in mind the creation of a situation similar to
that which has existed for three years between the
United States Army and Naval academies. Each
autumn the two great military institutions have
played their annual game at neutral stadiums, pre
ferably those with the largest seating capacity. The
receipts have gone to charity, and the midshipmen
and cadets have been transported to the contest
from Annapolis and West Point in special trains.
The rivalry between the Army and Navy in the
East is analogous to that existing between Oregon
and Oregon State in Oregon, and this paper be
lieves a similar arrangement could be worked out
in regard to a benefit football game.
Even if a charity contest is not played this sea
son, the Emerald hopes that its suggestion may
bear fruit in that direction in the years to come.
If that occurs, then the efforts of this paper will
not have been in vain.
NOW TURN TO PAGE I
T> EAD Mr. Prescott’s story on page 1 this morn
ing. Then consider how many like it you
have read in previous years. What’s the matter
with politics on this campus? Unless some im
provement is shown in the near future, student |
government lube will die a natural death. You
can't continue something that is forever the object j
of criticism and condemnation. Last year at this
time the freshman elections of 1931 were running
the gauntlet of denunciation. Now another fresh
man election is under fire.
Obviously something must be done about this.
If no logical solution presents itself, a revision In
the system of class governing might be advisable.
No elections are better than elections conducted
under dubious circumstances.
The Emerald is advocating no change at this'
time. It merely suggests that you consider the
situation carefully. The paper wonders how many
other people on the campus thought the same of
the election as Herb King.
AUTUMN RAIN’S
/"lO-EDS in slickers. The flash of blazers blue,
yellow, brown, dripping with the unexpected
downpour. Cigarette butts stopping sewers as the
water gurgles plaintively through matted grates.
Co-ed raincoats are more colorful than in former
years. Many whites, blues, and toned-down reds.
There are recollections of other days, of other |
nights, with the quadrangle hazy in misted moon
light. Autumn is the saddest time of the year. |
Leaves scrape protestingly along the pavements as
the expectatoin of winter hangs heavily in cool
afternoons and the dusk of dinner time.
Strangely enough after four years, the first
rain of the season never fails to leave this impres
sion with us. An impression of spring far behind,
of winter approaching. Even the temporary color
of I he football season fails to dispell the gloom of 1
rain. ,
ON MU. WILSON'S KKMAKKS
^AUR Mr. Wilson becomes iiuite irritated else
where on ihi- page over the fact that a young
lady, whose year , in our school number only two,
sat on the senior bench several days ago.
We hope that the young lady whom Mr. Wilson
mentions will not take his rebuff to heart. Mr.
Wilson was himself a sophomore once, and before
that a freshman, so he speaks kindly, and his mood
is more fatherly than hostile.
But Mr. Wilson is absolutely right when he says
the traditions committee should begin to function.
We agree with him in his urge that tire committee
start at once.
Believe u. il Barker when ue say that your
I
brief pause on the senior bench is not the cause 1
for our rebuke of the traditions committee. We
would not expect the traditions committee to be
so unchivalrous as to ask someone as fair as your-;
self to move on just because you didn't happen to !
i be a senior and were sitting on the senior bench. j
j But there are any number of freshman boys
j walking around the campus without their little:
I green caps, and it is these offenders whom the
j traditions committee must seek out and reprimand.
So, thank you, Miss Barker, for calling the at-1
I tention of Mr. Wilson to the laxity of the traditions j
I committee ,and thank you, Mr. Wilson, for ealling
! our attention to your comment thereon.

OUR RHODES SCHOLARS
n.
“Cecil Rhodes was too much a man of the
world to suppose that attainments of the
strictly academical sort are all that are essen
tial to the making of a man. His bequest
wisely provides that not scholastic tests alone
shall be applied in the selection of the benefi
ciaries, but that these shall be supplemented
by tests of character, and even of physical en
dowment, to an extent that on the whole sub
ordinates the intellect to the sum total of the
other qualities of mankind.”
* * *
' i 'HE ABOVE statement appeared in the “Dial
magazine of May 1, 1902. It was publishei
shortly after the terms of the will by which Ceci
Rhodes established the Rhodes scholarship had beei
made public. It is an interpretation of the inten
lion of Rhodes which was universally accepted a
that time. And it is republished in the Emerah
just four days before our faculty committee meet:
to nominate the University of Oregon candidate:
for the 1932 Rhodes scholarships.
Cecil Rhodes wanted “men four-square” to go
his scholarships. He recommended in his will tha
they be given students who combined most equit
ably the following traits:
1. Literary and scholastic ability and attain
ments.
2. Qualities of manhood: truth, courage, devo
tion to duty, kindliness, unselfishness, and fellow
ship.
3. Exhibition during school days of moral fore:
of character and of instincts to lead and take at
interest in his school-mates.
4. Fondness for sports.
It goes without saying that a Rhodes scholai
should have shown himself of keen intellect by i
scholarship record well above the average. Bu
Cecil Rhodes considered the other side of a man’:
character to be so important that he virtually re
peats himself three times in his list of qualifica
tions in order to make it most emphatic.
What do points 2, 3, and 4 in his qualification:
sum up to? If we look beneath their surface wi
can hear the spirit of Rhodes saying something
like this:
“I want young men who are interested in life
who find zest in living. I want young men wh<
are natural leaders among their school fellows
who are willing to fight for a cause. I want youne
men who know the meaning of sportsmanship, whc
like team-play and clean competition on the play
ing field or any other field.
“I do not want young men who are interestec
only in themselves and their studies. They are apl
to be amiable introverts, devoid of spirit and of tht
instincts of leadership.”
Rhodes’ ideas were sound. His apologists ofter
say that the tradition of Oxford scholarship is oi
more importance than the intention of his will. Wt
disagree. The Rhodes scholarships were never in
tended to be research fellowships, to be handed
out to “finical pedants” as a chance for a three
year flight into the higher reaches of mathematics,
physics, or Roumanian poetry of the Dark Ages.
Rhodes intended his scholarships for men oi
"power and promise,” for “men who by character
and circumstance are likely to be of political and
social influence in their country.” That’s the type
he wanted, and he said as much one, two, three
times in his list of four qualifications.
It is too bad that within 30 years after Rhodes’
death, the University of Oregon committee of
selection seems to be blind to the significance of
three out of the four qualifications for a Rhodes
scholar.
YOUTH’S CHALLENGE TO YOUTH
f^iOLLEGE men are men who like to consider
themselves a bit in the future of things, never
in the past. They want to be up to the minute on
everything that’s going on in the world, both on the
campus and off. It is natural for them to go to
older men for advice, but it is among the young
men that they seek their leaders.
He who serves in a position such as that of ex
ecutive secretary of the campus Y. M. C. A. should
be a man who has experience enough to act in an
advisory capacity and who has youth enough and
life enough to be a real leader of young men.
We believe that the men who have held such
positions in the past were essentially men of this
type. Yet, we believe that the University is
especially fortunate this year in having a man
just graduated from college, himself a graduate
student here, as executive secretary of the student
Y. M. C. A. Under his guidance, the “Y" should
be able to carry forward a real program that will
have some real meaning to the campus.
Julius A. Oettinger, n stamp collector, has dis
covered, after some research, that there are 28 vil
lages and cities in the United States named Wash
ington. Six of these join in claiming the honor of
being the first so named. Washington, Va., he says,
really is the first. Most of them are very small
in population. Washington, D. C., is the largest
and the smallest is Washington, W. Va., with a
population of 36. More titan 450 counties, rivers,
lakes, mountains and forts are named after Xhc
first president, the only stale in the Union not hav
ing a geographical object so named being Wyoming.
The historic U. S. S. Constitution, as well known
ts "Old Ironsides," now in harbor at Washington.
D. C., has a postoffice hidden away in it, where
those who wish may mail letters which will be
stamped “U. S. S. Constitution—Washington. D. C."
and an unofficial catchet picturing the frigate .sail
ing closehauled with sails set. More than 500,000
letters have been mailed m this postoffice since
the first stamp was cancelled in it September 10.

: /pHERE wasn t much or a cara
1 van along 13th avenue yester
day. Along came a little drizzle of
rain, and everyone ran for cover.
It’s the first wet weather we’ve
had in Eugene for six weeks, but
if it lasts for three days half of
us will be growling about “this
awful climate."
* * *
Several things happened before
the rain began. F’rinstance: Elea
nore Barker, only a sophomore, re
clining on the senior bench. It’s
high time for our traditions com
mittee to swing into action. We
don’t give a whoop whether the
frosh wear green-lids, or tuxedos,
| or chips on their shoulders, but
when underclass .women start us
; ing the senior bench, something
must be done.
* * *
Said traditions committee must
have a lot of faith in the frosh.
Everyone knows they won’t wear
those jockey-caps unless there’s
some sanction (translator's note:
means of enforcement, such as
hacking) behind the tradition.
A good rule is never to have “no
faith in nobody,” particularly doc
tors and nurses. A friend of ours
took a heat-lamp treatment at the
infirmary the other day. The nurse
just forgot him for an hour or so,
and now he’s being treated for a
bad case of "baked boosom.”

Personality snap: Betty Anne
Macduff saying : "Gosh, l m

Statement of Policy
The “Caravan” feels that spicy
bits about sororities and fraterni
ties are a drug on the market. The
Greek tongs are like the poor in
more than one way this year, but
they're always with us. So far
this column hasn’t given any so
rority a publicity break, and
what's more, it's not going to. We
haven’t had an invitation to tea
for six months.
* Sit *
But did you read the story about
the San Diego State college prof
who declared that the “average
fraternity and sorority, especially
the ritualistic sort, is a subversive
and frustrating institution.” (Yes
terday’s Emerald). That guy must
have been the Campus Prowler at
more than one college.

“In the west a kiss is worth

Color is the thing which can
change a woman from looking like
a long cold drink of water to look
ing like a wisp of flame, and the
j vogue in color changes more rap
idly than the line and cut of La
, long’s latest creations.
And here is news that will make
a number of us feel passe even
this early in the season: our spe
jcial correspondent in New York
City, Beth Ann Johnson, who was
grduated from the University of
Oregon last spring, writes: “Wine
is practically out here already, and
j tlie brighter and lighter shades of
i red are much newer. Wine is still
smart, however, for accessories.
* * *
» * *
“The shade of shades worn by
the elite is gray. .Combinations of
gray and brown are dashing and
in excellent taste. A very dark
brown is also good."
* * - *
Gray is one of the hardest col
ors to wear. To do it justice a wo
man should have a certain air of
! aristocracy and distinction. Should
know how to carry herself, should
have a fine skin and a clear com
plexion.
* $ *
But if you can wear gray, by all
means invest in a new outfit, be
cause gray adds an air of tempt
ing reserve and mystery to the
wearer.
The newest thing out in the line
of men’s apparel is the brace, to
be worn in place of a belt with
draped trousers. It seems that
belts aren’t practical with the new
pleated waists, which are almost
two inches higher than the old
ones.
* * *
These braces, by the way, are
creating somewhat of a sensation.
They are made of leather (pigskin
is exceedingly popular), are quite
narrow, and are equipped with
small clips.
* *
I
The unhappy beau brummell will
find these clips a god-send because
they attach to the shirt front, hold
ing it flat across the chest and
prevent it from wrinkling around
the collar. Can be purchased at
the Collegiate Men's Wear shop on
Thirteenth.
* * *
We select for Promenade: Car
lyle Sprague, because she wears
an outfit of the bright new red,
bandelero. A coat of rough nobby
wool with wide mink-trimmed
sleeves, a dress of soft wool crepe
which boasts a detachable neck
piece of leopard. With this ensem
ble, she wears black accessories.

When the suggestion was orig
inally made to move the big game
to Portland it was defeated. Now,
lo and behold, in the name of char
ity, everyone thinks it would be a
grand idea to play there. It shows
how much people can be swayed
from a rational attitude by some
one waving an emotional appeal in
their faces; they just can’t seem
to get on the bandwagon quickly
enough.
If charity is to be a factor why
not play the game at Corvallis and
give charity a cut opt of the re
ceipts, and use that money for
helping local conditions which are
just as bad, and where there isn’t
as much wealth to help the needy
as in Portland ? It may also go
further!
There will be many more stu
dents who can afford to go to Cor
vallis to see the game than can
go to Portland. Doesn’t charity
start at home?
Portland, for a long time has
been trying under one guise or an
other to have the game moved
there; and do you think for one
moment that if we play at Port
land this year that it is going to
be easy to have the game at Eu
gene next year? They will say,
“look how much more the game
can draw in Portland," and we will
| be left with a few “breathers"
| played at Eugene with all the big
games at Portland.
If charity is the real reason for
the move and if so, just how much
will the needy benefit from the
game ?
It bears every taint of a success
ful oil promoter saying to his none
: too promising neighbor—“Brush
your teeth four times a day instead
of three and you will be a suc
cess!”
Portland is trying to get our
only last big tradition and if we
aren't careful, our university goes
next.

To the Editor:
In connection with the com
mendable effort of the Emerald
] to have the Oregon State game
j played at Portland for the benefit
I of the needy, may I suggest that
i the endorsement and cooperation
j of Dr. Kerr be secured as an
' added impetus to this worthy
| move.
The appointment of Dr. Kerr to
I the post of chancellor of higher
1 education was a tribute to his sin
j cerity of purpose and an acknowl
1 edgment of his freedom from in
i stitutional bias. I feel certain
that he will have the moral cour
age. as well as the requisite vi
1 sicn. to risk criticism of the dis
i grunt led and add his influence to
] effecting a transfer of the annual
game to Portland.
Critics of the proposal maintain
that the motive prompting the
suggested transfer of the game is
an effort to hit the Zorn-Mac
pherson school moving bill. Even
assuming that this were true, the
spirit of impartiality that has
actuated Dr. Kerr in all his offi
j cial duties would induce him to
commend the shift of the scene
of the game to a neutral zone.
As to the alleged “upset” of a
traditional series, may I suggest
that the University more than
meet this argument by offering to
play the 1933 game at Corvallis
j instead of Eugene.
At any rate, an opportunity is
presented to Dr. Kerr to demon
strate to the students of the Uni
versity and the citizens of the
i state his ability to rise above the
J moment and voice in clear and un
! certain language his approval of
j the humane and thoughtful pro
I posal that the Emerald has spon

on the campus, are eagerly await

restriction be again placed on the
students.
The synod had before it, as well,
a resolution to prohibit the stu

to make it a sin for members of
the church in the state to dance,
but this resolution was defeated.
