It is the obli gation—nay, the duty of every student to use each of his cards to advantage. The fate of the Univer sity hangs in the balance. To use the choicest bits of old hero Israel Put nam’s words: “Make every postcard count!" ON WITH THE ELECTION THIS PAPER does not share the fear of one of its contributors that the result of the campus presidential poll tomorrow will bring down upon our heads the displeasure of two of three factions throughout the state. In a communication to the editor, which appears in the “Safety Valve” column, a student suggests the possibility that the outcome of our straw ballot will incur the wrath of cer tain minoriteis, regardless of which of the three candidates is victorious. Virtually every representative institution of higher learning in tire United States is conducting a presidential poll. The majority of those schools are dependent upon the good-will of the people for their appropriations and support, yet they do not hesitate to broadcast to the world the political preferences of their students. We have nothing to hide from the people of the state of Oregon. They know what kind of young men and young women we are. The fact that our school now exists because of their generosity is proof positive to that effect. There is no reason why the students of the University should not tell the state who they think is the outstanding presi dential candidate. Tho students of I tie college did so without hesitancy. In previous presidential years, when tire Univer sity of Oregon depended entirely upon new appro priations from the legislature to continue as a school, straw ballots were taken, and nobody shiv ered and shuddered over the result. No Oregon stu dent hesitated to vote for a Democrat because the majority of the legislature members were Repub lican, or vice versa. So let us go ahead with our vote, cast our bal lots conscientiously, and have implicit confidence in the fact that the people of the state will interpret our opinions as they should be interpreted. JAPAN HAS PROPOSAL rpROM THE land of the rising sun comes a news ^ dispatch stating that Japan will present a com prehensive program for reduction of naval arma ments when delegates to the disarmament confer ence meet in Geneva early next year. The plan is understood to affect all categories of naval craft, but to strike primarily at offensive weapons. Details, however, are being kept secret until the conference. Japan is in a peculiar situation as far as arma ments are concerned. She is in no danger from a land power. The only threat on her supremacy in the east can come by way of water and that from only two nations, Britain and the United States. Reduction of offensive war vessels would put Japan in a position of absolute security in the Ori ent, as long as she could maintain supremacy over the Chinese in Manchuria. And no other power could make an armcl protest against Japanese acquisition of this lan I of vast resources in min erals and grain. On this side of the ocean, Alaska, Canada and the United States would be equally secure from inroads by the Nipponese. Australia would have no further need for worry. The Hawaiian islands would be in no danger. The Philippines, on the other hand, would be left more than now at the mercy of Japan. There have been proposals by President Hoover and Stanley Baldwin that would have achieved practically the same end—minimizing rivalry in the Pacific. Elimination of the possibility of armed pressure to make Japan withdraw from Manchuria Would force the other powers to use economic pressure. The use of economic pressure, while it brings per sonal hardship and financial loss, is far less expen sive than war. It is to be hoped that the delegates of Britain, the United States and Japan can agree on arms reductions that will stay the rivalry and prevent armed pressure being brought to dampen the eco nomic aspirations of the Japanese and other na tionals in Manchuria. ONLY A CORPORAL’S GUARD PPROXIMATELY 70 seniors participated in yesterday's election for a new class vice president. This is not a very imposing proportion out of a group that includes more than 300 students. We congratulate the young woman who won. Prob ably the result would have been the same had every member of the class voted. This is no at tempt to detract’ from the credit accorded the vic tor. She is to be felicitated upon her success. But the deplorably small number of ballots cast is a subject not to be ignored. In the past there have been other fall and winter term elections at which the percentage of class members voting was even smaller. However, two wrongs do not make a right, and the fact remains that there are numerous elections held here every year in which the majority of the students do not even know what is going on. This betrays either a fundamental weakness in our political organization or a total lack of interest upon the part of the students. We would think it funny indeed if our elders turned out in as small numbers for a municipal or national special elec tion. There are two possible immediate remedies that suggest themselves. One is to avoid all special elections by permitting a committee, appointed by the class president, to name officers to vacancies created by emergencies. The other is to fix a quo rum of ballots necessary to make an election offi cial, 40 per cent of the entire class, for instance. STUDY ABROAD! The goal of every advanced student in art, medicine or science. But the measure of profit derived from such study is sub jected to searching criticism in November Harpers, in an article by Olaf Axelgaard. Lured by famous names and hazy conception of what European study really is, the average graduate student is victim to a hundred pit-falls as he embarks blithely for the continent. Does he know the exact field he wishes to investigate? Does the institution of his choice offer the best courses and instruction in this field to be found in Europe? The very finest should be the objective of every intelligent student. Lastly, is his command of languages adequate to enable him to use libraries and absorb lectures in a foreign tongue? The importance of these three considerations cannot be over-emphasized, All. Axelgaard believes. if every graduate student contemplating going abroad for study would apply these tests to his present store of information, there would be elimi 1 nated many of the cynical, ultra-provincial scholars who return disgusted or discouraged to their own countries. Northwestern college is organizing an associa tion of college widows. Only those are eligible whose "loves” are far away, and who are refusing dates on the campus.

The Straw Vote Assailed To the Editor: In conducting a straw ballot at this time the Emerald is making a very foolish move, and one which may cause the University a lot of harm. If the results of the balloting show the student body leaning to ward the Socialist party, the Uni versity will be condemned by the people of the state, who are not enlightened on the doctrines of that party, as a breeding place of communism, radicalism, etc. If the results show a majority for Roosevelt, some of the "old" guard Republicans are sure to be wrathy for this has long been a traditionally Republican state. If Hoover wins, liberal, Dcmo^ crats, duu protciters throughout the state are bound to be dis pleased. No matter what the result of the balloting may be. some group lot' individuals is bound to he dis |pleased. After all we are not half ; so interested in national politics | as we are in defeating the infam ! ous "grab bill," so 1 say forget j about the straw ballot for the harm that it might do to our cause. We cannot afford to make enemies at this stage of the game, and as 1 see it this straw ballot will do us no good, but on the oth er hand it may do us a lot of harm. Let us devote all of our time and effort to the defeat of a IT X. We eannot afford to do anything which may, at this time, turn pub lic opinion against us. Ken Jcttc.

I Our Mr. Callison By KEN FERGUSON CAMPUS CARAVAN _By DAVE WILSON_ ¥ ONELIEST place on the campus 1 yesterday was the polling places in Villard hall for the spe cial senior election. At high noon it appeared that the final count would be three to five. At the freshman election two weeks ago the single clerk was almost mobbed. Yesterday there were two clerks and no business. But perhaps they were intended to keep each other company. * * * What's the idea of encouraging co-eds to write essays in favor of the proposed amendment1 to the i U. S. constitution that “men and | women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdic tion?” It’s the men that should get out and put that over. * * * . Very considerate of Mahr Rey j mers, senior class barber, to ap point Bill Morgan as “chief hack , er“ for his senior traditions com ! mittee of 15. As long as Bill has I both wrists in casts, the frosh can thumb noses at the committee members with complete immunity. * * * I have a theory that the annual variations in campus styles of dancing may be traced to the high schools of the state. Instead of being leaders in the subtle chang es of terpsichore, vainly aped by our juniors in the high schools, we allow incoming freshman classes to stampede us to new styles on the dance floor every year. This year the frosh have im ported a dance step that outdoes their previous efforts at ballroom ; imbecility. We must take steps (no pun intended). I watched it in operation at a sorority tea the : other evening, and could think of no better name for it than the "po j go-stick" shuffle."* Short, unrhyth mic steps, with a four-inch vertical jump between each one, make a group of couples addicted to it look like enlarged versions of the “Black Sambo’’ mannikins that used to be attached to phonograph disks. There’s no grace, no true rhythm, no easy-flowing smart ness about it. If that mania is to be “collegiate” during this year, the time is ripe for a return to the Virginia reel, schottische, polka and square dance. a* * * Of course, dance styles change. I once read that when Lord Byron, whose biography has never been incorporated with “The Lives of the Saints," first saw the modern waltz in operation, he left the ball room, indignant with what he termed a "lewd spectacle.” * * * Today’s column seems to have inadvertently become half-way se rious. So we might as well take up the serious quotation from Al bert Einstein which Mr. Chester | E. Flory published in the letters to-thc-editor column yesterday. Mr. Einstein is quoted as saying “the man who enjoys marching in line and file to the strains of mu sic falls below my contempt.” Isn’t it peculiar that a man who has devoted his life to making the elements of the universe fall in line and march to “the music of the spheres" should hold in con tempt man's natural joy in or ganized activity and orderly rhythms ? * * * Much more significant is the quotation from Einstein which is cut in stone over the fireplace of a new building at Trinceton. “God is clever, but not dishonest.” Just six words express in masterful condensation the spirit of 20th century faith. Moonbeams By PARKS (TOMMY) HITCHCOCK We hear that Tommy Blanken burg' and Austin had an accident the other night. The bus turned over four times (actual count) but they didn't need a wrecker. Set it back on all four and drove off. Pretty good. Speaking of Blankenburg, we hear that he has a rival up at the Fiji tong in. the breast stroke— Bob Seufert. Pretty good team they’ve got up there. * * * Well, well. Alpha Phi Jean Mc Donald seems to have a great love 1 for singing in choruses and smok ing pipes, so we observe. Not to mention that Fiji pin she's toting. And what's this about Don Kva and Morrie Rbtenberg's 'Knowing gum"? And was Donin's face red ? Latest ultimatum from the Mor gan frotft. Bill orders all Sigma Nus out of town, including Ross Bates. Bates retreats to down town apartment. * $ * We see where Ted (Teddy Bear) Robb is doing a little bit on the sly with a certain Kappa pledge up at Pullman. Got the system. A certain friend of ours wants to know why Mary one New geta. such a thrill every time she hears Bob Parke’s name over the radio ? * » * We saw Johnny Holopeter down eating oysters at the cottage the other day. * * * And has everybody seen Newt Smith's new ash tray. It’s a honey, but Mrs. Smith made a statement disclaiming any respon sibility for it. * * * Will someone give us the straight goods on the Mark Thomas, Dorothy Roberts fiasco? We’re interested. * * * A guy we know Is Thornton Gale All Alpha Phis He thinks are stale. * * * We hear that Rosy Gagnon is that way •over a very certain Pi Phi. ° o * * * O The ‘latest story on Shanghai Lil up at the Tri-delt tong. Some body discovered some food under her bed that had slightly deteri orated with age. Had been left there for some time. « » » The Kappa Sigs had quite a fire the other night. Bus Leggett turned in the alarm, and they got two trucks out. Couldn't figure out who started it though. * * * Today’s sad story. Morse tthel butchen and his Kappa are all busted up. Too bad She thinks aie 11 go in for a debater next time. Football players are too rough. * * * Well, we see Jerry Henson is at it again. This time at Theta, though. * * * Just what happens down at the Breaker Arms these days? * * * It appears an SAE and a cer tain blonde Pi Phi have signed a pigging contract for the Christmas holidays. All very legal, too. * * * Well, we see Ethan Newman has contracted a bad case of sore feet. Well, Ethan. * * * A couple of perennial couples: Ned Simpson and Cyn Liljeqvist, and Walt Gray and Virginia How ard. Nice work. * * * We see Bob Hammond is cut ting his girl’s throat in collabora tion with Betty Butler. * * * We hear the Pi' Phi's got fined 50 bucks the other day for kissing in the house. They out to have a more commodious porch like the Gamma Phis. promenade by carol hurlburt 'T’HE man who is known as an J exceptionally good date is not the one who has a good line, but the one who has a different line for each girl. Conversely, a girl who wishes to get over in a big way, to be colloquial, endeavors to suit her personality to that of the man. For example, a giri who has a date with the Honorable Art Potwin would be foolish to dress in pink or red. * * # Nothing helps a girl in develop ing a personality so much as the clothes she selects. Take the sit uation as it stands. If you have a date with a Phi Delt, you want to be feminine, flattering, and wide eyed attention. To impress a Sig ma Nu, dress with smart sophisti cation. For the S. A. E., be dar ing, so that the onlooker draws- his breath with a slight gasp. With a Chi Psi, you should dress conser vatively but with an air. A Beta likes a girl who is natural and un affected . . . try to appear as ii you had a “school girl complex ion”! To attract a Fiji you shoulc be subtly alluring , . .. indifferent $ * * Before going any further ] I might say that there are just about two basic ways of attracting | the opposite sex. A man should be either masculine, possessive, but indifferent; or else she should have a worshipful, attentive, self sacrificing attitude. A girl should employ either indifference or flat tery. To assume the wrong atti tude is fatal. Now suppose that you have a date with the great lover, John Marrs, “Oh, you may reach the sun or the moon, but you’ll never reach Marrs.” It will probably be a sneak date, as that is Johnny's great specialty. Would suggest wearing one of the new rabbit's wool dresses, fashioned, not as a sport dress but as a street dress. Rabbit’s wool is about the least severe of woolen materials, and it’s new. Wear your hair curled softly around your face; plenty of lipstick, but manage to look naive ly inquisitive about life. * * $ If you should be going to a pic ture show with "Black Mack” Mc Kelligon, a black wool suit, built on the new skyscraper plan, high at the throat and broad at the shoulder, would be appropriate. Wear one of the hats that scoots down over one eye and up in back, black strip pumps, and black gloves. For femininity’s sake, the black should be relieved by white . . . white fur on a removable neck piece, tiny ermine tails, or a scarf of soft white peau d’ ange. * * s!« If you should be asking Kek Mc Kean to your pledge dance, garb yourself in a formal that is “noth ing much in front (although it should be high around the neck), and a little less than ‘arf o' that ; behind.” It should mold your fig ure as a glove does your hand. \ If you are a brunette wear dead i white; if a blonde, laquered black. * * * If you have the good fortune to go to a dance with Jimmy (Speed) Travis (probably another Chi Psi will go along so that you will have to be doubly clever) a frock on this order would be eminently suitable: a deep wine - colered bagheera velvet with sleeves and sash-girdle of silk velvet, the skirt ankle length, the sleeves full, but tight from the elbow down, the waistline normal. I think that Mr. • Travis would be intrigued! ALL SIZES—SEE US McMorran & Washburne Wlilr ^ ^ SO-CALLED "BARGAIN" CORDUROYS... OR CAMPUS CORDS? You decide.
