IN WHICH WE EXPRESS THANKS
THE EDITOR of the Emerald takes this oppor
tunity to thank the students of Oregon for their
cooperation in making the presidential straw poll
the success it was. That the total number voting
would exceed any previous figure in campus annals
was not expected, but it is a most welcome sur
prise.
The editor also wishes to thank those faculty
members and students whose individual efforts and
assistance were given cheerfully in the conducting
of the poll. Without their valuable aid, the straw
balloting most assuredly would not have been con
ducted as efficiently as it was.
It is not amiss to mention below those who co
operated so splendidly:
Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism.
Robert C. Hall, superintendent of the University
press.
Ronald H. Robnett, assistant graduate manager.
Orville Bailey
Bob Hall.
Bill Bowerman.
Hal Short.
Johnny Marrs.
Otto Vonderheit.
Jack Bellinger
Sterling Green.
Jim Travis.
Parks Hitchcock. k
Gordon Day.
Bruce Hamby.
Dudley Lindner.
Ned Simpson.
Cecil Espy. ■
Harry Schenk.
Butch Morse.
Brian Heath.
Julian Prescott. *
Neil Bush.
Johnny Yerkovich.
Rolla Reedy.
When the various groups anil departments can
work together as well as they did yesterday it
speaks volumes for the success of future student
enterprises. The assistance given the Emerald by
the persons mentioned herein, and also by the stu
dent-body in general, was gratifying to every mem
ber of the staff.
IOWA UKKAIXT8
ND NOW comes news that the University of
* town is defaulting: Us bond issue of $830,000,
floatted to finance a new field house and stadium.
The Hawkeyes have eben having tough luck every
since 1030, when they were ousted from the Big Ten
conference charged with athletic recruiting beyond
the rules.
Iowa hasn't won a conference game since 1929.
In fact, it hasn't even scored on a conference op
ponent since that time. No wonder it is having
trouble in liquidating bonds for a football stadium.
Iowa elevens of the past have had their share
of Big Ten honors. There were, for instance, the
great unbeaten elevens of 1921 and 1922. Coming
down to more recent times, Iowa has been among
the topnotchers although not unbeaten.
But Iowa again expects to lead the Big Ten
conference. Under a new coach, the Ossie Solem,'
who is serving his first year after his success at,
Drake, the Hawkeyes are re-pointing for a confer
ence victory.
Iowa isn’t asking for sympathy. A bondholder’s
protective committee has been formed to work out
some feasible reorganization of the college’s fi
nances. They have found in their own efforts the
solution of their difficulties.
Football at Oregon usually pays. Last year the
season cleared more than twenty-five thousand dol
lars. As a matter of fact, it pays for the rest of
the student program—‘basketball, swimming, base
ball, and track, none of which break even. Besides
the Emerald and the Oregana, football is the only
major activity that makes its own way.
It is doubtful whether the present season will
be as profitable. Although statistics are not avail
able, it is probable that the profits will be much j
less. Fortunately, we don't have a huge bond issue I
to be met and amorti:: jet.
THE OTHER FELLOW’S SIDE
TWO STUDENTS, cigarettes poking out of the j
corners of their mouths, were collaborating in
the reading of a metropolitan newspaper. A head-1
line caught their eye. Its words they repeated
aloud: "Legion commander thanks boy scouts.”
Openly they scoffed. “Boy Scouts!” they derided.1
“A fine bunch of goody-goodies they are."
These shrewd and astute critics then directed1
their attention to the sports section. A name caught
their eye. “Humph! Schissler. There’s a big
washout. I hope he loses his job this year.”
Further remarks of the pair were avoided as
being unnecessary.
Comment in the order of the above is not typ
ical of Oregon students, for which we may be;
thankful, but it is indicative of a certain bigoted i
class. Toleration for what the other fellow does, j
for what he represents, and for what he wants to
do is a quality some of us must learn.
When one thinks of it, the idea of a couple of,
callow young fellows scoffing at an organization
that has done more for boys than virtually any
other on the face of the earth is little short of ridi
culous. The Legion commander whom they refer
red to was carrying the Stars and Stripes over
seas when they were in knee pants, so, there again,
do their remarks lose what little strength they
might have possessed.
To those who know Mr. Schissler the thought
of someone deliberately expressing the wish that he
lose his job does not sit well. He has a family; he
has obligations. The young men who hoped for his
downfall showed neither sympathy nor intelligence
in their discussion.
Remember the other fellow. There’s always his
side to every question. Think it all over before
you express yourself. Lincoln said; "The man who
will not investigate both sides of a question is dis
honest.” *
JOURNEY’S END
DISEASED in body and sick of mind, Dr. Simon
Strpusse Baker, one-time president of Wash
ington and Jefferson college, ousted because of stu
dent disagreements, went upon Quail hill in the
center of his old campus, gun in hand, one night a
short time ago, and never came back.
Ill health was charged when the suicide was in
vestigated, bul back of that superficial excuse,
there lies as pathetic a history as eiier was un
rolled on the annals of American education.
Dr. Baker was forced to resign the presidency
in 1931 because of student agitation against the
strictness with which he dealt with the athletic
side of school life and his attempts to raise the
dress standard by forbidding corduroy trousers,
and the like. He was an educator of the old school.
He knew but little of the modern methods of edu
cational training. To him the students were indi
viduals who were enrolled to learn. A strong, stub
born, rosolute character, he went down to defeat I
at the hands of the moderns he knew not how to ;
handle.
He resigned from the presidency with these
pathetic words from the lips of an old man . . . . j
broken: "I have tried to win their friendship, but
I have been unsuccessful. Sometimes I think the
fault is mine.1 hope my resignation will
benefit the college."
And a year later an old man walked once again
on the slopes of Quail hill.He had been sacri
ficed on the altar of modernity .... long years
of trying, only trying .... and then a bullet in the
head and a sodden corpse by the side of the ditch |
j on Quail hill.

CLASS DESPOTISM
ITH THE school year well under way, class1
’ * appointments are already being handed out
and class projects begun. The spoils system, a
seemingly inevitable consequence of political line
ups. is functioning as usual. But undesirable as this
system is, it could be greatly abbreviated if the
class presidents considered their fellow officers as
a cabinet, with which they could consult when ma
jor appointments were to be made.
Instead, the president assumes the entire re
sponsibility in most cases and the vice-president,
secretary, and treasurer sit by with folded hands.
This matter of choosing competent people for
executive positions is a difficult one, as any class
proxy will readily admit. Wouldn't it be a welcome
boon to him to have advice from his fellow officers
on appointments to be made? Not only would it
give I he other officers something to do, but. it
would Lap a much larger portion of the student
body for good material. Four students and their
friends and acquaintances would form a consider
ably larger quorum than the president alone and
his friends.
Provision for such cabinet meetings should be
made a part of class by-laws, or at least a hard and
fast traditional rule, that presidents would be
obliged to obey.

_By DAVE WILSON
wp/'ELL, well, tonight comes wnat
we’ve been anticipating for
more than a month, that grand
and glorious institution known as
"Open House." We’ll call it “O.
H.” for short, and of course that’s
open to obvious misinterpretation.
Promptly at 7 every man’s tong
will swing into action along the
sorority front, shaking hands with
blurred faces that wind out of liv
ing rooms through dining rooms
into kitchens. Taps will sound at
12:15. Send no flowers.

“Why, of course every student
will participate.”
But you’d betted get to the the
atres for the first show if you want
to avoid the rush. Taylor’s, Col

Green Parrot managers report
that extra helpers will be ready
to handle the rush of business dur
ing the evening. A few people are
expected to resort to the library
for sanctuary from the merry-go
round. * * *
May we offer a few suggestions
to first year men who are innocent
enough to look forward to O. H. i
with pleasant anticipation?
How To Be Happy at Open House
(ll Before starting, fill a knap
sack with spirits of ammonia, corn

’T'HIS is for gentlemen only!
If you are the kind of stu
dent who goes in for intelligence
tests, here is a new game: sit
down, pen in hand, and try to de
scribe a tie . . . adequately. If
you can do it . . . adequately . . .
you are welcome to write next
week's "Promenade."
A tie is a soft, narrow strip of
wool or silk cut on the bias and
knotted at the throat. That is my
definition. Webster's is a little
better, but 1 never realized how
difficult such a description would
be until I delved back into the
history of the tie . . . and it's
a lurid history, to be sure.
The family tree of the necktie
can be traced back to the Eliza
bethan era. Now the tie's distant
progenitor bears about as much
relationship to the modern variety
as a gorilla bears to some of our
athletic friends, as it was a wide
ruff, starched and fluted. The,
ruff's immediate descendant was
the jabot of Louis Fourteenth.
Picture a dashing gallant with
long curls, a blue ribbon tied in a
serene bow under his stern chin,
a ruffle of lace cascading over his
manly bosom.
During the days of Louis the
Fifteenth, the lace cravat reached
the height of its magnificence. Un
der the, regime of the sixteenth
Louis the cravat was knotted in
a soft flowing bow. the ends lace
bordered. The pleated jabot came
into being during the last days of
this same Louis. »,

(3) If you must go down the
line, pronounce your name to the
housemother slowly and distinctly.
If you’ve got a name that can
easily be transposed to an embar
rassing sound, call yourself “Mr.
Jones,” or, better still, “Mr.
Zilch.” For instance, if your name
is Hitchcock or . . . well, maybe
we'd better not give any examples.
Just use discretion.
(4) To realy enjoy the evening,
pick out the first alluring stran
ger you see amongst the co-eds
and spend the rest of the evening
getting acquainted with her. This
is an age of specialization. A

revolution was made manifest by
a loose peasant-like cravat of linen
or cloth; it also brought the first
throw-over cravat the progenitor
of our Ascot. The first simple
neckcloth . . . the stock . . . was
introduced during the Directoire
period. The gentlemen who wore
them looked as if they were suf
fering from acute sore throat.

The first “choker" collar came
in with the consulate and was
worn with a tie that resembles a
diploma. These choker collars
would be practical for any man
with an emotional temperament
because he would be forced to con
trol himself. When the Little Cor
poral was at the height of his
glory, a white collar and tie were
worn with a ruffled shirt front.
The first gaily colored cravats
were brought in by the Romantic
Movement in the Paris of 1830.
Drab ties were also worn to con
trast and bring out the glory of
vividly colored waistcoats. Then
came the cravat that was really a
muffler and looked almost like a
baby’s bib.
By 1847 the necktie was fash
ioned like a scarf (explaining how
the words “scarf” and “cravat”
became interchangeable. During
the 1850’s the men of fashion wore
gaudily checked bow ties to match
their gaudily checked waistcoats.
And so on down to the present
era . . . and, can you give an ade
quate definition of a tie ?

Bystander '
By KIRKE SIMPSON
^WASHINGTON, D. C„ Oct. 27
] ” IAP)—It sounds a bit prema
I ture to talk about presidents:
nomination possibilities of 193(
j before the 1932 election is held
There are elements about the
i current campaign, however, tha!
project that question into the pic
j ture.
Take the Republican 1932 ticket
! of Hoover and Curtis, for ex
j ample.
Should Mr. Hoover be returnee
! to the White House, the anti-thirc
term bogey would tend to elimi
nate him even if he desired to car
ry on.
If defeated this year, it woulc
be against precedent generally
should he run again, although hi:
age in 1936—62—would not bai
him and although the rule had ar
exception in the case of Grovei
-Cleveland.
So far as Vice President Curti:
is concerned, his years weigi
against him. He will be 76 ii
1936—a consideration that migh:
have serious weight should hi:
candidacy be proposed at tha
time.
* * *
Future activities of both Gover
nor Roosevelt and Speaker Game
would seem to turn on what hap
pens to them this year.
If the Democrats should be
elected, the natural thing would
be renomination in 1936. Garner s
age of course, affords a parallel
to the case of Mr. Curtis this
year. It might be advanced as a
reason for finding a younger run
ning mate for Mr. Roosevelt four
years from now. should Roosevelt
wish to run again.
It is notable that the two men
relied upon most heavily by
President Hoover in his re-election
campaign. Secretary Ogden Mills
of the treasury and Secretary Pat
I Hurley of the war department, are
| in age hardly more than gradu
i ates of the "younger Republican"
| group. Both are also “little cabi
I net” graduates, having been pro
| moted to cabinet posts by Presi
I dent Hoover.
* * *
Secretary Mills especially is car
i rying much of the Hoover cam
paign in replying to his old friend
I and neighbor, Governor Roosevelt,
j He was a strong man of the con
} vention that named Mr. Hoover to
! succeed himself. Like Hurley, he
| is ambitious.
And it would be readily under
standable if Mr. Mills, as he car
ries the administration's fight
over the country is well aware
that he may be laying the ground
work for a presidential nomina
tion campaign of his own four
years from now.
Particularly if Mr. Hoover is re
elected. Hoover’s voice would be
powerful in naming the 1936 tick
et. And what would be more na
| tural than that he might favor
Mills and Hurley, an East and
West ticket ready made.
