It is in the land below the •Mason and Dixon line that America's most valorous [football teams are formed. It is said of the drawl ing southern lads that they "speak softly and hit [hard." They are the sort of fellows who almost j break a man in half with their vicious, clean [tackles in one moment and then help him to his •feet in the next. • ■ • Theirs IV. a wonderful heritage, those boys of the 'South. They carry on the traditions of a region [whose men once stood off the might of the nation • lour long years. From the South came Jefferson .Davis, the fiery dreamer, who visioned a country "separated from the Union. At his beck and call, , there rode forth lantern-jawed cavalrymen to [carry the banner of the Confederacy against the • blue-coated Federals assembled by the great man j [ who occupied the White House from '61 to '65. Nathan Bedford Forrest, Braxton Bragg, Pick • ett, Light Horse Harry Lee, Stonewall Jackson, [ Robert E. Lee out of the South they came, those i • valiant men to fight for an ideal they never at-! [tained. The old South has disappeared now. No! longer Is it a land studded with vast plantations and hospitable mansions fronted by colonial pillais.! It is a region of agriculture and manufacturing, much like the West and New England. But still the tradition is carried on, although its ' bearers no longer wear the grey and Jefferson • Davis has been in his grave these 50 years aud ' more. The heritage of the South now falls partially to its young athletes. The Lees, Pickets and For- j rests of today art- Johnny Cain, Dixie Roberts, Don ' Zimmerman, Beatty Feathers, Jimmy Hitchcock. , Herbert Brackett, and scores of other lads who; parade on the gridiron. Which is sufficient reason why Oregon will have to battle for its laurels December 17. HOW TO GKT GK.VOKS <<TF YOUR primary interest in final examinations. is to got ttie best possible grades out of them.: you've got to play up to the professor," Dean J. R. Jewell told a iarge group of freshmen Monday. This paper believes Dean Jewell should be ; praised for his frankness. Such a statement mils' have been hard for the dean of the school of edu cation to make. But coming from such a person, makes the statement all the stronger. For years students have recognized that tlv ^ only way to "get grades" from certain professors , was to repeat on examinations just what had been handed out in lectures. But this is about the first time it lias been given public recognition by a dean of education. However, this statement by the dean cannot lie taken without qualification. There are some "profs" for whom considerable analytical, indue ‘tive and deductive thinking lias to he done in the •writing of final examinations. There are others who would cut down a student's grade if the exam paper had too parrot-like a nature. Seceral young professors have expressed the wish that students, particularly freshmen, would come around to visit with them; not for "handshak ing," but in a natural attitude, just to get acquaint ed. They believe that in this way the student will be enabled to get the most out of the class and the professor will be able to better fulfill the lemaud. ol that particular student. i GET YOURSELF A BACKGROUND SOCIAL contacts and poise, you probably have been told on numerous occasions, are the sole and only benefits to be realized from attendance in an institution of higher education. The next time somebody says that, you might send him over to the art school. Tell him to ask one of the professors how Rembrandt and the other great masters of painting obtained their effect. If he does any in dependent thinking, he probably will alter consid erably his ideas on the importance of social attri butes and graces, not that they aren’t valuable to a high degree. Rembrandt's masterpieces were not great be cause the central figure dominated the scene. Rather were they noteworthy because the rest of the canvas was as fine and excellent as the object which was the theme of the painting. The great Dutch artist achieved greatness because the back ground of his splendid paintings were as correct in detail and excellent in technique as the dominant character, thereby magnetizing attention on the entire canvas instead of its integral. What is true of paintings is also true of human beings. The person with social graces and poise, but has nothing with which to back up these at tributes, constantly focuses attention on himself. He is the dominant theme of everything he does. And, sooner or later, his friends and his foes begin to see his flaws. No one is perfect, and the surest way to make your detriments paramount in the perspective in which others see you is to subordi nate all else to yourself. But the person with a background is like n1 painting by Rembrandt. He does not make HIM SELF the cynosure of all eyes. Rather, he lets his background, which is just another word for knowledge, speak for itself. The man who can con- ■ verse intelligently and authoritatively on art, litera ture, science, history, athletics, government and a j thousand and one other topics does not have to ( push himself forward. His knowledge takes care j of that. Think it over—it's worthwhile. You have an op-1 portunity here to build yourself a background.' Don’t neglect that in a search after drawing-room graces and dance floor finesse. It is always easier1 to put across your background than your manners.1 The former, if it’s good, doesn’t need a sales talk. The latter, if nothing accompanies them, can’t be sent over the pike with the most convincing sales talk ever uttered. ■ I HIS WORK COMPLETED THE RESIGNATION of Alex Brown, alumni secretaiy, is to be regretted, but it does not come as a surprise to his many friends. His work here has been accomplished and under present con ditions the field for his abilities is extremely limited. He was called from the Oregonian because of his excellent record and his organizing ability, to lead the vicious Zorn-Macpherson school moving mea sure. Mr. Brown has had the confidence of the entire Oregon alumni, and his work in unifying their de fense against the measure was invaluable in build ing up state-wide opposition to it. His effectiveness was demonstrated by the huge vote that snowed under the measure. Bob Allen, who will take his place, is well quali fied for the position. He has worked with Mr. Brown throughout the fight against the bill. He has a first hand knowledge of the workings of the office, and a great deal of experience in dealing with alumni. He has had practical newspaper experience on the Register-Guard and several weekly news papers. His appointment is endorsed by the Emer ald. THE REAL SIGNIFICANCE OF CHRISTMAS HE REAL significance of Christmas, often for gotten in the mad rush of college days, will be re-emphasized Sunday when the combined poly- - phonic choirs and the University symphony orches- j tra will present Handel’s ’’The Messiah.” As this concert is free to all students, it should be well at tended. In times like these, when every merchandising establishment is doing its best to capitalize on the Christmas idea (or Xmas, as they call it in their , advertisements), it is only natural that busy col-' lege students, worried about exams, should be come Xmas conscious instead of Christ-mas con scious. That is what commercialism has done to this great holiday. Attend "The Messiah," but before you do that go to the Christmas Revels. The combination of the two will give you what you should get out of Christmas, good fellowship and fun, on the one hand, and a deep understanding of the real significance of the Christmas idea, on the other. MR. UNDSTROM GOES TO THE RESCUE DOOPERATION of the manager of the Univer sity, Mr. Orville Lindstrom, makes possible the balancing of the budget for the 1933 Oregana. Without the consent of the administration to the collection of Oregana payments, the book woujd not only face a large deficit, even with the carefully pruned budget, but its very existence would have been threatened. Undet the present plan, Oregana payments will be collected at the first of each term by the cash ier's office. This entails additional bookkeeping, but the office has gladly come to the aid of the dis tressed finances of the annual. That the students really are interested in the! fate of the year book is evidenced by the number of inquiries that come to the Emerald daily. The contingent gift of the senior class will meet any deficit that the book may incur up to $500. \\ EXPRESSION OK THANKS K TAKE this opportunity to thank those who have cooperated in the publication of the Emerald this term. We extend appreciation to: Robert Hall and his staff at the University press. George Godfrey and his assistants at the infor mational service. Hugh Rosson, R. H. Robuett, and the other em ployees of the graduate manager's office. Eric W. Allen and George Turnbull of the school of journalism. And all others who, in any way. shape or form, have assisted us in the task of providing the cam pus with a newspaper five times every week. Wo look forward to continued cooperation from them in the winter and spring terms to come. 1 see the right, and I approve it too. Condemn the wrong are! ye! the wrong pursue —bvuuud Garth.

Plight of Minor Sports 'T’HIS is being called a financially 1 unsuccessful footbah*~year 'be cause the receipts have not been sufficient to support the minor sports in the style to which they are accustomed. The failure of football, in other words, is only in comparison with other seasons not with other sports. The trouble with the other sports is that when football first began to become popular and to turn in large sums to the student body treasuries the other sports proceeded to sit down and take j life easy. They quit making a bid for crowds. Baseball, track and field, swimming, boxing and wres tling all proceeded to live off the ill-gotten gains, quieting their consciences as best they could. Only basketball'has to any extent paid its own way And now that football cannot turn in such large amounts, these other sports are bewildered over the prospect of supporting them selves. It has been a mistake from the first. The other sports often re quire a higher degree of individual daring and ability than dees foot ball, and while football is admit tedly the more picturesque spec tacle, the other sports, neverthe less, should have kept up the cam paign to win as many fans as pos sible. If they had they would nqt be so hopeless when the announce ment is made that football receipts are not sufficient for them. They would be able to continue after a fashion on their own receipts. Per haps the present emergency will be good for them. Perhaps it will teach them to keep their own wares before the public.—Morn ing Oregonian. Washington Bystander By KIRKE SIMPSON W/ASHINGTON, Dec. 6.— (AP) ” —If memory serves, the only Nevada native son to reach the senate thus far did so by way of Arizona. That tall, whimsical and silver tongued ex-cowboy, deputy sher iff and what-not, Henry Fountain Ashurst, was Nevada born. Senator Ashur'st will lose that distinction in the next congress, however. Pat McCarran, Demo cratic senator-elect, was born in Reno. So Nevada will come into native son representation in the senate in her own right. McCarran shar ing the job with a Mississippian in the person of Senator Key Pitt lpan, who will be the next presi dent pro tern, of the senate, suc ceeding the defeated but undaunt eel George Moses of New Hamp shire. * * * McCarran’s election reminded The Bystander of a circumstance about Nevada politics he had al most overlooked. It is remarkable to what extent men who figured one way or another in the later day gold rush in southern Nevada in the early years of this century have dominated the Washington representation of the state ever since. What time Tonopah and Gold field were in the heydey of their bullion production The Bystander was newspapering in that region. Among the men h£ rubbed shoulders with were the late George Nixon, who died as a sen ator; Pittman, then a well known lawyer of Tonopah; Tasker Oddie, now defeated for re-election to the senate after service as governor cf his state, and Pat McCarran, then district attorney in Nye coun ty Oddie was the only real miner of the lot. He was, with his broth er, working a lease at Tonopah and as an operating leaser sharing also in the amazing story of the Mow hawk mine at Goldfield. * sfc Nixon. Oddie, Pittman and now McCarran! How their names bring back those boom times in Tono pah and Goldfield. Nixon, a banker and one-time railway telegrapher, made his way to the senate via what amounted to a grubstake to George Wing field, who was to become the great man of Goldfield and, in character istic old frontier fashion, never forgot his obligations, written or implied. The late Senator Ncwlands, like Pittman, also was Mississippi born. He was a holdover from days before the southern Nevada gold rush, a bridge with the interim period of the state’s development, between the Comstock and Tono pah-Goldfield. Since his death men who made that second gold rush their step ping stone have spoken for Nevada in the senate, and will continue to do so when Pat McCarran takes his seat. Oddie is a New Yorker born. Like Newlands and Pittman, how ever, the roving spirit of the fron tier was his. Pittman is also an Alaskan ‘'sourdough." Both are veterans, as McCarran is a native born, of the last frontier.
