Oregon’s Day \X/"ITH the cutting- of the string which for years ’ ’ has held the Trojan jinx over Oregon football elevens, Prink Callison and his determined Webfoot gridiron machine confidently await this afternoon’s clash with Southern California. No longer in the shadow of defeatism, the Ducks after turning in a great victory over Oregon State will meet the men of Troy on an even psychological basis. Today’s fray should be decided -barring the breaks of the game, of course—upon the mastery of the art of football. Oregon, with its enviable season’s record, stands to break the touchdown drought long enforced by the henchmen of Howard Jones. Southern California, no longer the supermen of the gridiron, will be fighting harder than ever before to uphold the fast fading semblance of the prestige she once enjoyed. It is Oregon’s year. Team performances and com parative scores point conclusively to a glorious Web foot victory. A loyal, united student body knows Oregon has the better football team, and expects Oregon to win. If by some chance Oregon has an "off-day” or the Trojans play over their heads to come out with the larger score, Oregon still knows it has a great football outfit a combination that is better than the best that U.S.C. can muster. A Sculptor Speaks OINCE, in these times of economic breakdown and ^ monetary turmoil, there has come upon the peo ple as a whole a growing distrust of tiro materialist ic way of life, and an increasing drift toward the sounder foundations offered by the arts, greater in terest than formerly will greet the lecture of Lor ado Taft Monday night. And Mr, Taft, who is one of the foremost sculp tors of the day, will well repay the attention of his listeners. He has the reputation of being an easy and fluent speaker, spicing his words with humor, and witli the happy facility if converting the feel ing he expresses in his sculpture into terms of the spoken word. Jt may easily be that his lecture will bring to more than a, few of his listeners a deeper anil truer appreciation of art, an appreciation that will broaden the scope of their enjoyments greatly and measurably enrich tHeir lives. It is an opportunity that is not to bo passed by lightly, in the pursuit of more trivial entertainment. Don't miss it. Your student body card may be a passport into a new world of enjoyment, now un known to you. Henry Ford and Vagrant Genius XTI/HAT’S this, Mr. Henry Ford? Really now you should look into things before you let that mouth of yours tumble forth such witless Panglos sian placebo. Surely you knew that horrid man was going to publish those utterances, that folk the country over would cup eager ears when a man of your industrial star became oracular. You knew that Collier’s week-1 iy would give a big spread In its November 10 issue ! to your talk of the future, "This Is the Duy of Op- j portunity." You know you could have kept quiet rather than exclaim:"Why those homeless boys, tlioso boys rid ing around in box cars. That’s where we are going to get the new inventions. Why it’s the best education i in the world for thoso boys, that traveling around, j They get more experience in a few months than they | would in years at school." I’ll bet you kicked yourself, Mr. Ford, or were your statements premeditated? Wo won't broadcast i it but we know that your contribution to society was the Model-T, and that you have been taking it easy ever since, putting your capital in the trust of ! younger hands. And we can believe that in the hours ; of leisure your wealth affords you’ve taken a scholarly immersion into the problem of vagrant t youth. You know, it’s a pretty pressing question right now. In fact, Mr. Ford, half the graduate students in sociology in this country today are doing their masters’ theses on this very state of affairs. You are to he envied, Mr. Ford. You can retire to your forest sanctuary, surround yourself with every intellectual pabulum, and tackle the problem with a scholarly earnestness. Being an industrialist you are probably nearer the root of the matter than we are. In the rush of the times in which we youth find ourselves blocked, we must rely for our infor mation upon periodicals, matter written passionately for the most part, statistics and such, and case records—dislocated stuff, too, that isn’t comprehen sible in our social scheme, lacking the calmness that Dr. Pangloss would put to it. Bear stories all, and so much bosh, these fear3 of the sociologists that the homeless children of America may band in marauding wolf-packs, like the post-war Bezprizomi- 750,000 homeless Russian children, many of who n lived in the old sewers and cellars of Moscow and Petrograd. Why, man, there are now only two or three hundred thousand wand ering children in the United States! We forget, Mr. Ford, but weren’t you a tramp of some sort; and one day with the assistance of a few kindred raga muffins didn't you haul forth the first spluttering Model-T from your box car laboratory? It’s a glorious experience these homeless boys and girls are having. And he was only the pitiful exception—that forlorn waif of twelve who was found after existing for months in a grimy subwa.y tunnel, picking at peelings and refuse for his daily sustenance. It was for his soul and body’s good, though. He’ll do great things, for he has had the “best education in the world.” And we college students are suffering under a misapprehension. Our schooling is only a spiritual self-excitement. We should be out on the broad high ways learning how we may really contribute to the advance of civilization. For Tyro Statesmen 'T'HE National Institute of Public Affairs is pioneering- a new era for youth in governmental and political fields through the establishment of the interneship plan. The plan offers selected college stu dents and graduates practical training in the human elements of government and politics. The winners of appointments to the institution's laboratory at Washington, D. C. will be instructed by a staff of outstanding social science professors for a two month period, and will each serve as an apprentice to a government official. At first glance it may appear inconsequental that only four candidates will be selected from Oregon to vie for appointments. On the other hand, it is a def inite recognition of the ability of youth. It is a movement designed to train young men to compe tently face and solve the constantly changing gov ernmental and political problems. It is a small, but progressive step toward the preparation of American youth for practical governmental administration. The interneships are opportunities which should not find closed doors at this University. The Passing Show Whither Do We Go? OIXTY-SIX years from now, the world will be en ^ tering into its third thousand years of existence wince the birth of our Lord. How many of us living today will still be living to welcome that epochal time ? For it is epochal when we stop to consider what great and far-reaching changes have occurred during the past two thousand year. Who. two thousand years ago, would have thought that their descendants would be riding about in automobiles at unheard of, undreampt of speeds; would have been travelling around the world in less than a week; hearing people speak thousands of miles away from them with no medium but the atmosphere between them ? i ne worm mis gradually oecome accustomed to these marvels of science so that we scarce stop to think of even the greatest wonders. The only way a modern person could truly realize the innumerable benefits civilization has conferred upon him. would be if he were suddenly transported to some country wheie all the conditions of living approximated those of Europe, say in six or seven hundred A. D. Those were the dark ages—Roman culture had practically disappeared the people led a hand to mouth exist ence, living in wretched hovels, half clothed in non descript rags, and periodically ravaged by fearsome and devasting diseases. Gradually with the cessation of the barbarian invasions Europe began once more to become organized, the feudal system arose, form ing a nucleus about which the elements of civili zation and culture gathered. That march of progress which has culminated in our life today had definite ly begun. Many educated and cultured people today believe ! we have reached the pinnacle of our present era of civilization; that we are about to tumble headlong into chaos; to return to a period of life approximat ing the dark ages. Even Paris at the time of Louis XIV, the great French king, had no system of sani tation or drainage; everything was thrown out into the middle of the street and left to rot there until it disappeared. Just imgaine walking along a street today, and hearing someone shout, “Ware below"; we would not know what to expect was coming, but, in former times they would promptly have clucked for shelter, because it meant that a bowl of slop was being dumped into the street. If the unwary pe destrian was not fast enough to move, he got it in lhe neck. And to think today, that the harrassed pedestrian can sue for damages, the autoist who merely splashes him with a little dirty water! Such ; in graphic terms is the advance of civilization. Is the coming thousand years going to see the world return to a period of civilization contempor ary to that of a thousand years ago, or is the uni- 1 verse going on to a new era of progress and pros perity. That i.- the question thousands of people ate asking today. Some say yes, others, no. Yet very few of them realize one very significant fact—that at no time in the world’s history has every part of it been living in a manner akin to that of the dark ages during the dark ages in Europe, there was i very decided degree of culture and learning in the Byzantine Empire centered at Constantinople. Simul taneously India and China were arriving at new peaks in their civilizations. Today the whole world knows what, is going on next door to it and it is nost unlikely that one part will be civilized and the lext in a state of barbarity. The world is advancing md will advance still farther.—McGill Daily. The Day’s Parade By PARKS HITCHCOCK Britain's Dole Finnish Deportation ^RITICS who spend their time J attacking America’s relief pro gram might do well to cast an eye across the Atlantic to the expens es which John Bull incurs in relief for the destitute. With but one third of the population of the Unit ed States, what England has paid out by the Royal Exchequer alon_, totals upwards of $7,200,000,000 since 1920. This is merely the fed eral government’s disbursements to which must be added another good sized sum from local relief agencies. Slum Clearance Gains Of this sum the housing slum clearance program got $2,000,000, 000, old age pensions another two billion, and health insurance $500, 000,000. To the dole has gone $2, 100,000,000 and the unemployment insurance snared another $600, 000,000. No Complaints Offered And in spite of this staggering total the British do not seem to complain, but on the other hand are now planning further and more exteensive relief plans which will dwarf Uncle Sam's per capita ex penditure. Unemployment Insurance Of course, the great boon to la bor problems, and in ordinary times the arrangement that keeps the unemployment problem out of the headlines is the famous unemploy ment insurance. All regularly em ployed laborers make certain set payments per month to the gov ernment, then in case they are laid off they are supported from the general fund. For instance, per sons who have made 30 payments during the last two years are en titled to draw benefits for 26 weeks out of the year. If insurance rights are exhausted before the policy holders return to work they are immediately transferred to a tem porary status where they are sup ported by a government protec tionary fund. F. D. May Adopt This Plan It is some such plan that Frank lin Roosevelt has promised Ameri can labor. The chief objection to this program by the diehards is that it tends to a socialization of labor and gives the government too much control over the employ er-employee situation. To our mind such a situation is highly to be desired. npHE U.S.S.R. has found an ex cellent method for solving the problem of unrest along the Fin nish border. Longfellow’s "Evan geline" is being re-enacted with Russians and Finns as protagon ists in the little known districts of Northern Russia. Evangeline in the North As the British deported the cit izens of Arcadia in the American poet’s piece, so the Soviet is de porting all people of Finnish blood to a new settlement in Southern Siberia. Over 12,000 persons are estimated to have been moved in the last few months Baltic Disturbances Feared Russia has always been a little worried about the danger of the fomentation of disorder and ill feel ing between herself and the Baltic states and this is one of her moves to eliminate any such possibili ties. Innocent Bystander By BARNEY' CLARK rjPHlS is sorta to serve notice that maybe once in a while we will write this thing. Perhaps on alternate Tuesday's (the maid's night off). People have said to us, “Clark, why the hell don’t you write that col. again?” and we have blushed prettily and said noth ing. We were pleased, though that some of the Oldest Inhabi tants still remembered us. So here we are. batting merrily away at our bow-legged old Royal lplug). Y’ou see the depths to which vanity will drag a man, and what our mother is going to say about it all we don't know. Anyway, we have had quite some fun around the office late ly. Hitchcock had a brainstorm the other eve and went rushing around, clipping screwy head lines out of college papers, like "CHEST SUPPORT IS REQUESTED BY PRESIDENT OF UN.” Or, COLLEGE WOMAN MAY FIND jOOD opportunity in field Park-, industriously pasted all U:. r There’s No Quack Here By KELTNER t HOW LET ME See, v^Hat Size Pose id Ap^\lNlSTE& i (Copyrlghf.^V. N. U.) r /FARM MQRT6 AG Federal Bank Control Sv*o\ Ancient Alumni in Session By FREDERIC S. DUNN J^IKE the full moon rising over Judkin’s Point was the Alum ni Association in ancient times, a sober, dignified order. There were no pajama parades to ruffle its serenity, no bonfires to evoke one’s repressed paganism, no referen dums to profer their apples of Sodom. The First Faculty was still intact, the Alumni themselves a sparse number, the Student Body a few hebdomads only, and inter - collegiate contests unheard of. Technocracy had not wiggled into our Eden. During the graduating of the University’s second class, an As sociation was formed and a corps of officers elected, including those to participate in next year’s pro gram. So, Commencement of 1880 saw its schedule amplified to ad mit two new entrants in the name of the Alumni and the introduc tion of a scheme which continued for just one year short of a score. Wednesday afternoon was regu larly dedicated to the ‘Alumni Ex ercises’, while Thursday evening, after the current class had been duly released, was given over to an ‘Alumni Reunion’ and banquet. The so-called ‘Exercises’ fol lowed a very formal procedure, opening with the welcoming ad dress by the Association’s Presi dent. As the other performers had been elected the previous year, the President was free from much other responsibility and therefore distinctly chosen from an honor ary consideration. The University catalogs for many years carried the ever lengthening roster of its distinguished Alumni whose fel lows had honored them with the annual presidency. Thereafter followed the Oration (masculine) or Essay (feminine), the Poem, and the Annals. As the divine afflatus was not always vig orous, the Poem was sometimes omitted through default of the elected incumbent. Joel N. Pearcy, 79, was frequently commandeered to ‘pinch hit’ in this capacity, and most creditably. The Orator was selected from the conspicuously intellectual and from those who were by now in re sponsible positions. The Associa tion was rapidly acquiring a dis tinguished personnel. The Alumni were proud to display such as Dr. Claiborne A. Woody, ’81, Editor of the Pacific Baptist Advocate, whose topic was ‘Robert Brown ing’ and Prof. Mark Bailey, Jr. '88, then of the University of Washington, in a scholarly expo sition of Pali literature. The Annals tended toward the humorous. Much laughter greeted such wits as Cliff Wass, ’80, and A. C. Woodcock, '83. Students of those days roomed in private homes, so the townspeople were often regaled and amused, as were the Alumni themselves, by the quasi-scandal and farcical filings that were chronicled as appertain ing to former boarders. And then a precipitate revolu tion came in 1900. (The next issue will contain 'THE ALUMNI REFORM’.) clippings on the walls, and then Phipps toddled in and nearly had a set of china dishes. HE said it wasn't dignified. THIS evening, though, the edi tor felt his dramatic ability swelling up within him like dried apples, and he essayed to act like a dope-fiend. This aroused Hitchcock’s competitive instinct, so he threw a fit, and lay down on the floor and rolled around and foamed at the mouth and walled his eyes. Parks has a face for fits, anyway, and he did the job up brown. Things didn't quiet down for some time. Mr. William Russell, sultan of the Chi Psi citadel, gets his pleas ure out of the simple things of life. (No reflection on his dates.) William himself told us that he frequently turns on two showers, one very hot, the other very cold, and rushes back and forth between them for a considerable period of time. Then he steps out of the showers and is immediately "prickly" all over. His skin sticks out in little goose-pimples all over (as we get it) and the sensation is delightful. He is very proud about it all, but we are a trifle doubtful. * * * VICE VERS A “A sinful life Is quick and unsure. But it’s better than being Pallidly pure!" "Blended!—blendd with what?"

The position was held last year by Mary Jane Jenkins, now enrolled in Stanford uni.nrsity.

A south Georgia boy en tered Georgia state college this fall without ever having seen a foot ball game. Emden McCraine, of Willa cooche. had heard a lot of the grid iron game and wanted to play.

At last a new orchest ra has been started up in this band barren campus, and bids fair to gain quick recognition judging from those jobs they already have lined up, which include playing for the Friday evening show at a local theater, both yesterday and to night at Willamette Park and for the Rally dance to be held today at the "Igloo.” This news is the best that has hit this town in many a month, during which good dance music has been as scarce as hen’s teeth and mostly of a minus quality, with only one band worthy of the name on the campus, and that be ing nothing to write home about.

Night before last, a couple of the lads dumped a mattress out the sleeping porch window. It hit with a thud on a section of roof half way down, and then bounced off and came to rest on the grass be low. Then they lowered by a rope some sheets and blankets that evidently had been somebody's well kept (?) bed, and dangled it in front of a window where one of the boys was disrobing. (No, for the benefit of whom it may con cern, it was not noticeable from the street). The boy seemed a bit irked when he apparently recog nized the articles hanging out there in the rain. Senator Bluenose ) Label— they still cal him Label be cause he sticks so closely to the bottle—is of the opinion that you would never have known a certain campus heartbreaker had his p i n planted the way he was light ing up old flames on that dark rally train car coming home Sunday night. That redhead, Signe Ras mussen, who calls fraternities “frats” is surely going strong. Her latest attraction seems to be the Fulton (Floyd Gibbons) Travis. He’s the race model who sometimes wears a black patch over his eye when he's out taking action pictures of a football game. Who was that campus freshman who was seen leaving the Rex theater at three o’clock yesterday morning with an usher? The managing editor must have at some time been greatly inter ested in horse races. Anyway, he certainly scratches a lot of this stuff.
