TAOWN through the years ring Lieutenant Deca tur’s stirring words. Often has their dema gogic appeal been scoffed at; still more often have they been referred to as the theory which under lines war. But appropriate indeed to a situation that confronts us .of the University is the phrase Originated by the hero of the Barbary war more than 100 years ago. We have a football team here at Oregon. It has not been as successful as pre-season prognosti cations predicted it would be. In two conference starts it has been tied once and beaten once. Vic tory was virtually within its grasp at Portland Saturday, but an 11th hour pass thwarted it on the threshhold of glory. Largely because of this episode, the student body's interest and confidence in the team has waned. Why, it is difficult to say. The team has done nothing to be ashamed of; it tied a great Washington eleven; it bowed to a courageous U. C. L. A. team whose fighting finish was unparalleled in conference annals. Cannot we be big enough to rise up and say: “Our team, right or wrong!” Whether Oregon wins or loses, ii. still is our team and it is incumbent upon us to support it. Hi Hi H< Don’t make the mistake of thinking Oregon is through. There is yet Oregon State to beat. South ern California and St. Mary's loom upon the hori zon. Young Coach Callison is putting all his knowl edge and efforts into the building of a successful team. Now, in an hour of adversity, it is no time tor the student body to withdraw its support. Any body can kick a man when lie’s down. Surely the Oregon students are not fair-weather friends. They must have the fortitude and courage to stand by in the face of defeat. To date the football season can hardly be called an absolute failure. The team has given a good account of itself in botli its conference games. Re sponsible for much of the gloom that now exists is the fact that an unjust number of victories was expected of Coach Callison prior to the start of the season. :!l :k* si: Lung before the autumn campaign started, those interested and in charge of football here and this does not include Coach Callison dispar aged the endeavors of Dr. Clarence W. Spears and pointed to Callison as a successor who would ex cell the famous doctor. It was a tragic blunder and led people to believe Oregon was a coming cham pion. To have placed such a measuring stick as Doc Spears' success beside a young coach in his first season was little short of criminal. C. VV. Spears is a great football coach. Denial of that fact is futile. Why, tin'll, demand a new coach to equal or excell his efforts? We believe that Coach Callison has not been a failure to date this season. To say he has not suc ceeded because lie has not matched Doc Spears' splendid record is ridiculous. The only persons who deplore Callison's work are those who have been led to believe he would do better than Spears. Never has Prink Callison himself claimed he would overshadow Doc Spears. He is too shrewd a man and coach to do that. The zealots who pre dicted championship attainments of Callison in his lirst season undoubtedly meant well and thought they were helping the coach, but they placed an additional and unjust obligation upon him. * » » So let us just consider Prink Callison as one of us, as Oregon’s first alumnus coach in to years, and let us forget that bo is the successor of the great Dr. Spears. We will benefit both ourselves and the coach to look upon the season's results lo date us highly satisfactory, lie must bo giveg a chance, and the Emerald is sure tie will succeed. Home wasn't built in a day. and neither are good football teams. Dr. Spears has been a football coach since lie became head of Dartmouth's force: at the age of 22. Long years.of experience lie back of his admirable record. So let us definitely align ourselves in support of Coach Callison, and let us remember that his team is our foam, and that it is "Our team, right or wrong.” He is only fantastical that is not in fashion— Robert Burt: n. I DR. KERR GOES TO BAT GONE by this time must be any doubts that ever existed as to the sincerity of purpose of Dr. William Jasper Kerr, Oregon’s new chancellor of higher education. The chancellor has shown him self to be an executive who understands the troubles of his students and the problems of his state. His efforts at the meeting of the state board in Port land Monday proved that, conclusively. Dr. Kerr went squarely before the board and recommended that the anti-automobile legislation of last spring be modified. In so doing, he. showed the students of every higher educational institu tion in the state that he realized what their atti tude on the ruling was, and that he was eager to act in good faith with them. The editor of this paper was at the board session for a few brief moments and is aware of the time and efforts Dr. Kerr put forth on the students’ behalf in this matter. When you see a student, drive an automobile today, you can rest assured he is privileged to do so largely through the endeavor of Dr. William Jasper Kerr. The chancellor also showed that he realized the financial distress and economic plight of the state’s citizenry when he said no further appropriations would be asked of the 1932-33 legislature. In strug gling along on the amount allotted in the old budget, Dr. Kerr is taking an additional burden upon himself. It is far easier to expand and in crease than to cut to the bone and economize. Commendable indeed have been Dr. Kerr's ac tions since he was appointed chancellor. He is de serving of the confidence and cooperation of the entire state. OUR NEW LAWYERS rPHE 24 law school graduates who passed the state bar examinations are to be congratulated on their achievements. They can be justly proud of their accomplishment. It is a real trust that the state of Oregon has given these young lawyers. We are confident that the graduates of our school of law will not violate that trust, that all of them are worthy of the trust that has been bestowed upon them by the commonwealth. But not only do we commend the students for passing the examination, but also we feel that much of the honor should be given to the dean of the school, his associates in the faculty, and to those pioneers in the field of legal education who founded the University of Oregon school of law and their successors who have carried on the work in the past. It would be unjust, in praising the excellent work of the present faculty, to forget the high standards previously established by their predeces sors, the many volumes of legal works given by friends of the law school in the past that have built up such a fine legal library, and the many other things that friends of the school have done. Of the 29 Oregon students taking the examina tion this year, only 4 failed to pass. This per centage was very small in comparison with the entire class, and is larger than that of Stanford law graduates who passed the California bar exami nations* Without forgetting the honor due to the past, we feel that special honor should be given to Dean Morse and his associates in the law school faculty, for it is their ability and their broad scope of vision that has really been reflected in the out come of the bar examinations. GET BUSY, RALLY COMMITTEE 'T'O DATE this season the football rallies have been far short of satisfactory. Blame for this must be placed somewhere. Certain is it that either the rally committee or the student body in gen eral is at fault. The responsibility naturally must be delegated to the committee, since it is that group’s job to incite the students to participate in the welcomes and send-offs for the team. The Emerald does not take the attitude that the team is going to play any better football or score any more touchdowns because 500 or 1,000 students shout ’’Boomalatcha, boomalatcha, boom! boom! boom!” before the engineer of its train pulls down the throttle. This paper merely contends that a certain amount of organized enthusiasm is neces sary to instill a pioper morale and spirit into both the team and student body. When the eleven left Eugene for the U. C. L. A. battle at Portland, there wasn't a corporal's guard at the station to herald its departure. The uni formed band straggled onto the train. It did no playing. Not a dozen students were present. There was the old faithful of the townspeople Del Stan ard, Beldon Babb, a few others. Col. Bill Hayward exchanged a few remarks with those on the platform, the players boarded the train silently, the big engine whistled twice, the drivers spun on the rails, and the team was off for its second conference game of the year. When the players returned battered, weary in both body and spirit, the victims of a dashing Frank Merriwell finish of the Bruins there was no rally to greet them. This situation must be remedied. Not to be forgotten is the splendid display of spirit last au tumn when a throng of 500 welcomed the team upon its return from Los Angeles, where it was overwhelmed 53 to 0 by U. S. C. It is incumbent upon the rally committee to get busy at once. The team goes to Idaho this week-end. Part of the assembly tomorrow should be devoted to the game. There should be a rally at the train to send the Webfoots on their way. There is ample time for the committee to make preparations for both events. A SORORITY LIBRARY •'■MIL SORORITY library is about to become a reality on the Oregon campus. This library, in addition to the time-honored collection of exami nation papers, term theses, and defunct text books will consist in most cases of a shelf of standard reference works, and volumes of good fiction. Some women's organizations already have such libraries, but most of them are starting this year. The need for a well rounded library is felt in every living organization Reliable reference books that may be consulted at any time during home study hours speed up work and supplement ailing themes that otherwise would do without such information. Good fiction avail able exactly when the mood and moment demand it is always desirable. House funds purchase the reference volumes, voluntary but systematic con tributions from the members will build up the fic tion. The Jackson county, Florida, school board has threatened to oust any teacher who attends a dance of any land. I I jThe Leak in the Dyke . t. By KEN FERGUSON | CAMPUS CARAVAN _By DAVE WILSON Z"1 UESS I was a little hasty in painting the pathetic picture of Jerry-the-Cop without any stu dent drivers to drag down to the bastile this year. His job is safe after all. * * * Today’s pathetic portrait is that of O. 'ell Rhinesmith, who must have said that when he saw the news that he was no longer to be the automobile autocrat. Sugges tion for new job:—anti-cigarette inspector for journalism and art buildings. * ft A few people are positively re lieved. Among them is Carlton Spencer, ex-chairman of the en forcement committee. I under stand that he cancelled an order for $50,000 worth of life insurance when he heard the good news. * * # And other people are dee-lighted. Among them are service station owners. I stopped to see one last night. He was listening to a ra dio rendition of "Happy Days Are Here Again” with a broad-beamed smile. “I didn’t hear about it until I read the papers this morning,’’ he chortled. "Gosh, it’s wonderful, isn’t it?" « # « Glen Godfrey, the local theatre magnate, is all up in arms because the University Y. M. C. A. is go ing to show free movies Thursday night. He’ll never rest easy until he gets a city ordinance forbidding churches -to hold Sunday night services because they interfere with the theatre business. * » » A month from today: Vital sta tistics on the Soph Informal to night were 317 lounge suits, 250 tuxedos, 64 golf knickers, 3 full dress and 44 campus-cords. So ciety editors speak of it as “one of the most brilliant dress parades of the fall season.” * * * So 24 out of the 29 law school graduates passed the bar exam ? Wonder what bread-line the boys were in when they got the glad tidings ? » * * Did you read about the costumes that faculty members wore to their “white elephant” party? Just killing, weren’t they? May we make a few suggestions for the next one? Dean Morse as Cyrano de Ber gerac. Dean Gilbert as General Persh ing. Steve Smith as Wallace Beery. Mr. Lesch as Lord Byron. Waldo Schumacher as Herbert Hoover. Carlton Spencer as George Ar liss. George Godfrey as Mickey Mouse. * * * While we're praising the facul ty, we might as well relate the lat est grade-raising story: A well-known student on the verge of flunking out went to see if a well-known professor would raise his grade. "You don't deserve it," said the professor, “but I’m a sporting man. If you can tell me which of my eyes is glass, I’ll give you the grade.” The student studied the profes sorial physiognomy several min utes. "It’s the right eye," he said with conviction. “Correct. How did you guess it?” “It's the only one with any spark of sympathy in it.” T* *T] Washington ; Bystander ' By HERBERT PLUMMER Vf'ASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 18 ’’ (APi The fact that he found it necessary this year to go out and fight for his own seat in the senate deprived Millard Tydings of Maryland of a campaign job much to his liking. In the 1928 presidential cam paign and again in the 1930 con gressional campaign. Senator Tyd ings functioned as chairman of the democratic senatorial elections committee. It was his job to elect and re elect senators to sit on the right of the dividing aisle in the senate. Although he was a first-termer and at the time barely 40 years old. Tydings amazed some of the old-timers with his reputed ability to produce results. It wasn’t long before they were referring to him as "Militant Millard." After the 1930 campaign his democratic colleagues officially dubbed him "Glad Tydings." * * * In 1928 the young senator made them all sij up'and take notice at election time. In that year, despite failure of the national ticket in the states of Arizona. New York, Washington. Virginia, Utah, Ten nessee, Nevada, Montana and Wy oming. democratic senators were elected. And in 1930, he aud liis com mittee planned the fight clinch rt suited in a net gain of eight demo-' cratic seats in the senate, in addi tion to holding on successfully to two—for a total of 10, and bring ing the party within shadow of control of that body. This year, however, he had to relinquish his job to Senator Swanson of Virginia. Senate tra dition bars a man who has a con test of his own from the chair manship of the elections commit tee. * * * He was successful in getting the democratic nomination for re-elec tion in Maryland, but has a re publican opponent for the general election on November 8. And since Maryland already has one repub lican senator, Tydings had to take the field. Tydings, perhaps, has come as near as any other man to explod ing the time-honored axiom of "the hill" that a new senator is always seen but barely heard. He has seldom marked time in that body. Tydings paints landscapes and dogs. He has written a book or two. And he is rated as one of the capital's most eligible bache lors. Moonbeams By PARKS (TOMMY) HITCHCOCK |AUR friend Ted Kobb says it s true, only too true about that picture dedicated to "My Dear Teddy bear, ' on his bureau, and furthermore Ted says he’s proud of it. * * * What’s this we hear about Jack Bryant mistaking the Phi Sig ban nister for the side of a ship? * * * A mug we know Is Doc Robnett, At counting dough He’s learned to sweat. * * * A certain person informs us that Mark Thomas has sworn to have two dates a month only, with two or three girls of our acquain tance. Perhaps he'll have diffi culty getting those two, after the girls read this. * * * A friend of ours suggests that Betty Powers ought to hire a hall in the future when throwing her chatting contests in the libe. * * * Today's Eva story: We hear that Donald and Darrell Cornell are reminiscing over the affections of a certain Pi Phi. . * * * Weel, weel. Somebody called at the Delt house the other morn and asked in a plaintive voice for “Abie” Green. Speaking of the Delts, we hear that Bob Leeds slashed his hand in a brutal fashion, while beating his way back from the ball game on the S. P. * * * And speaking of little girls we used to know when they were brunettes, there’s Laura Hart, the Tri Delt. Oh, yes. * * * And, oh yes. O’Melveny bowed in defeat in a battle for the af fections, and incidentally, a dinner date, with a certain D G in a ter rific struggle with Jim Wells. It was a ping-pong game. * * * Well, we see where Art Riehl has taken up wrestling to cure himself of that lisp. * * * There was a young fellow named Sleeter, Saw a babe and wanted to meet her, So he cut a psych lab, and jumped in a cab. Now Sleeter is rushing to greet her. * * * Well, we hear the Fiji frosh came through in the swimming meet yesterday, and it is inferred that after their walkout they staged another swimming meet last night. By the way, the Sigma Chi frosh went out en masse the other night—out to the mill-race. After-Dinner Special Manager Andrew M.

Brilliant finger nail polish is day after day becoming more acceptable to the women of discrimination. When first a pol ish of flaming flamingo burst up on our startled gaze, we were aghast; we were appalled. Then we were amused, and now we are wondering. If you think the present exam ples are gore be-steeped, what do you think of this ? The latest dispatches from Paris show nails painted to the base of the nail, exposing no moon and no rim. Tanned fingers are accentuated by starkly white nail polish.

YOU SPEND 2 MILLION Yes, sir! You 9pend $2,704,488 a year while you are in school. That’s quite a lot, and then when you go and spend over 75r< of it right here in Eugene—it’s a heck of a lot! The estimated patronage given by the student body to Eu gene business exceeds two million dollars every year. There is nothing wrong in that. In fact, it is a mighty good idea. Eugene does a lot towards helping and sup porting the University of Oregon. When you do buy, though, read the advertisements in the Oregon Daily Emerald. Buy only from the advertisers and you will be sure of a square deal. Remember-—buy more often in Eugene, but only from the ADVER TISERS. “Influencing 3560Moderns*r
