Viewing the pinnacle-holding Heavers from their lowly spot at the bottom ot the eonference ladder the Ducks mean business. Still smarting I'rom the ignominy of losing to Mr. dill's redhots two weeks ago by an overwhelming score, the Webfoots have tossed their Kmily Host into the ash can along wit h t heir inhibit ions. With Oregon’s Mr. Heinhart eoidrolling the stralegy the Ducks gave the croud an inkling of 1 heir revised technique in the second game of the Husky series. Now it's a matter of pride, and history has shown that when Oregon pride is at stake Oregon teams carry the battle to the offenders. That s why we say it's going to be a good fight. With tremendous odds in favor of the Corvallis hoys, Oregon (State may force 1 hi'ongh to another victory. With the Webfoots in a lighting mood Oregon may nip the gay old Heaver. Mr. dill's squad has the flash of light ning—the drive of a steamroller. Mr. Heinhart s proteges have the old Ore gon fight. It's going to be one fine ball game! Aiiollirr Si*>n of llrultlt r IMIK Oregon campus is, this weekend, largely the seem' of maneuvers .on the part of the Order of tlie “O." Varsity lotlermen are to play multiple roles—entertainers, hosts and authorities to brilliant high school athleles many of the best the state of Oregon will graduate this spring. To the campus the wearers of “O” sweaters will he the sponsors of a gala all campus dance. To many people on and off the campus that will lie the story .just another of Ore gon's scintillating weekends. Hut that is not I he w hole story. I’nderly ing the obvious factors arc those far more important. This weekend marks a rejuvenation of the Order of the Traditionally, down through the long history of Oregon, Varsity men have played a fundamentally effective part in the development of I’niversity cam pus life. A few years ago the Order of the "O" faded rut her conspicuously from vital aetiv ity on the campus, lint the new life injected into the organization this year seems to us to he another sign of increasing health at ()regon. There is a definite place, traditionally and functionally, for the Order of the "it.” It is gratifying to see the leitermeu once more offering valuable emit rilull ions to the lure of student life at Oregon. Students Kaise I lu ir \ oiees IT is evident. from tlit* first reports of tlie Literary Digest poll mi war ami peaee that, in tlm collegiate opinion, the da\ of war as an instrument of international rela lions is on its way out. Collegians have shown that when they think quietly they think clearly. They strongly believe that tlm Vniteil Slates can keep out of another great war. One has only to consider the diplomacy and the leadership which precipitated us into the late war to arrive at this conclusion The more closely one studies this period the more evident docs it become that a certain degree ot incompetence was in pari to blame. N\ e have less to t ear a long this line than we had twenty years ago. President Uoose velt in particulur, and the administration in general have shown that they arc capable of handling international affairs through dl l' ••• . at'.et til iii folCe. Til ir \. dlie , ... to do I hi.- ims Inn n drumud rated a l•• v. da, , past in tlic world court issue which came within a few votes of passing the senate. These efforts will undoubtedly continue, and eventually bear fruit. Preponderance of student opinion is def initely against fighting should the TTiited States play the role of invader. This a pa in could be the result of our sorrv experience in the last war. at which time our men fought on hrench land, fell on French land, and in many instances were buried in French graves. These answers are sensible and intelli gent .They indicate the ability \to think rationally and independently. This is the characteristic which must be | maintained in the future, d'his will be our greatest problem if the European tinder box. or perhaps the Far East bomb, flares up again, llystei'a is always the arch enemy of intelligent consideration. Patriotism is none the less lervenl it one refuses to fight another country’s battles. When he doesn’t refuse, however, that pat riotism has been reduced from the sublime defending one's own home to the ridicu lous -being the cat's paw in another country's war. The long prayed for day has arrived. January HI. and what it means is that this is the last day we will have to listen to the strains of ‘‘Its June in January" that is. unless they start singing “its June in Feb ruary.” If they do that, at least we can pray for March. Our prayers unanswered, we at at rate feel assured that “Its June in -June” is too ridiculous for any hand to slobber over. One Man's Opinion - By stivers v«‘|‘"“n AN Associated Press dispatch from Astoria divulges the startling news that two under takers are engaged in a price war to obtain the contract to handle charity burials in Clatsop county. The figure, after holding at thirty-five dollars for some years, suddenly under the in fluence of competition, took a drop to fifteen. Thence in succeeding years it dropped to five | dollars, one-tenth of one mill and finally the contract was awarded to the undertaking house which bid “no fee.’ A bit startling, isn't it? Why in the name of all that’s holy, should an undertaker find it to his advantage to bury a county charge for absolutely nothing? On the face of it, the whole business looks extremely silly, much as though two under takers actuated by an overly acute sense of pride, were simply cutting one another’s throats for the fun of it. More particularly,' it. has an incongru ous appearance since we learned that the fee for burial of county charges in Lane county is fifty dollars. However, every business has its angles and every angle has its possibilities for making a spare nickel or dime. Our curiosity quite got the better of us in this matter and we could not resist the temptation to get in touch with Lane county coroner, Charles P. Poole, to find out just what was the angle that made the rival concerns in Astoria so eager to land the contract. It. sounds fantastic but here’s what he told us: The landing of the contract automatically gives I tie undertaker the responsibility of burying, upon their demise, any of the inhabitants of the county poor farm oi other county maintained in stitutions. As a general thing this job is good only for the amount of the pie-determined fee. (In the case of Clatsop county, there is no fee.) However, once in awhile more frequently than one would guess it happens that one of the erst while residents of the poor farm turns out to have a goodly pile salted down somewhere but for reasons best known to himself chose to go on the county rather than to spend it on the every day necessities of life. Under these circumstances he is no longer a charity burial ease and the un dertaker has his chance to sock up a nice little burial fee against the estate. Pretty cute, isn’t it ? We asked Mr. Poole if these instances were frequent enough to make the contract a paying proposition. 11 is answer was that no undertaker could make big money at it but to supplement a regular business it usually provided black figures to add to the ledger at the end of the year. In other words, the number of 1 eases in which there is a nice little slice of change j more than of sets those which are a total loss. All of which just goes to prove that its the little things that count, whether it is in selling groceries or caskets. Really, its too bad. We had such a high opinion of those two morticians in Astoria. They appeared to be such high minded philanthropists. Now we know they are just good, hard-headed business men. j The Passing Shoiv J VM Aia, ItlHo, IN WOULD 1“I U I) rpHK first month of lSUib will probably be J- viewed in retro.speet as a time of great achievements in the cause of world peace. This month several of the problems left un solved ot poorly solved by the treaty of Versailles history’s great lie have been settled Fust came the news that Germany had re gained the German Saar Basin, and that the league of nations council viewed Hitler's streng thening position as improving the prospects for peace. Next came the British cabinet’s move to abro gate the military clauses of the Versailles treaty and to view Germany’s illegal rearming t under the treaty* as legal this in return for Germany's whole-hearted participation in a general pact for the limitation of armament. .

Michigan Daily, The Day’s Parade fVinf's Over Mexico jyjEXICO, long-famed as the ren dezvous of bandits and revo lutionaries under guerrilla chief tains, is again the center of another sporadic revolt. The present dis turbance is centered in the moun tainous districts in the states of Nueva Leon, Jalisco, Durango, Za cetaca:;. Agues Calientes, Puebla. Michoacan, Tlaxcala and Tehaun lepec. Sporadic Outbreaks All of these states, in various parts of the republic have long been points of unrest. Some ob servers, have pointed out that it is the outlying districts that the hold of the Catholic priests is still evidenced in the greatest force and that consequently, these sec tors are the most likely to be the arenae for revolutionary distur-i bailees. Unrecognized as Vet The present revolt, which the government refuses to recognize as very serious, is being conducted un der the same sporadic plan as past campaigns. The insurrectionists consist almost completely of rov ing bands who make the local con stabulary and government officials the victims of their nomadic at tacks. Defeated Politician Leads Officially, at least, the present outbreak is under the guidance of one Jose Vasconcellos, a one-time presidential candidate and popular figure in the more sparsely popu lated districts. Tlaxcala and Her History Of great interest, both roman tically and historically, is the little state of Tlaxcala which for cen turies maintained its status as an independent state and has king been the Asturias of Mexico, both as regards its physical makeup, the hardiness of its people, and the restless spirit they have evidenced. Tlaxcala is admirably fortified by its mountainous physical make up. and small as it is, it was the only state in Mexico that was able to successfully resist the entire Astec federation in the days before Cortez. Since then, it has on sev eral different occasions precipitat ed fierce and sanguine struggles in short-lived attempts to regain its lost freedom. The people of this lit tle state are still the hardiest and most courageous of all the Mexi cans Best Ten Tunes Of Month Picked li\ Dick Watkins Emerald Feature Editor ri’he following' ten tunes have been selected by dance orchestra leaders all over the country as the best of the month, and those most frequently requested. In the order of their popularity, they are: 1. Dancing With My Shadow. 2. Blue Moon. 3. Object of My Affection (still going strong' in the East.) 1. You're the Top. 5. June in January. G. Winter Wonderland (we won der how come this still rates), 7. I'll Follow My Secret Heart. S. Love Is Just Around the Corner. !). What a Difference a Day Makes. 10. I've Got an Invitation to a Dance. That "You're the Top," tune, the latest by Noel Coward, the English playwright, composer, author, mu sician, lyricist, etc., etc., is about the catchiest on the market and due for a fast rise, on the score board, judging by how often it is now being played on the air. Irving Berlin has been signed on the dotted line to write seven new songs for "Top Hat," the new pic ture soon to be made starring that perfect combine. Fred Astaire anti Ginger lingers, again. . Kate Smith has gathered in over a mil lion cool simoleons during the last four years, and is still drawing down So.000 per week for her broadcasts . . yes, we agree with you radio must be quite a jolly game.

This Is Neils' On KORE Today ISy George Bikman Emerald Hi'.lio Editor A s nappy ..nd intelligent presen tation of campus news and campus th'right of the past week will be delivered by the ‘‘This Is News" crew on the Emerald broadcast to day at 4:15 over KORE. Jane La gasses and Stan Bromberg will take part. Well meaning clitics have submitted in a friendly man ner the suggestion that since no ; last minute news is dispensed on this program, its value as a news 1 feature is let:: ened. Oar reply is that in the first place news proper occupies only a small part of th ■ fifteen minutes; in the second place, most of the campus news is, news to those off the campus. And i we feel that the feature articles 1 and editorials read over the air are of honest worth and that .they merit being broadcast. The pro | gram is intended to be a condensa | t ion of Emeralds of the past week. Fourteen editors of college news papers, will give a summary of | coast-to-coast student opinion on questions of current interest today | at 3:00. From 11:00 to 12:00 | another program in the Metropoli i tan opera series may be heard. Eddie Duchin at 2:00, Our Ameri can Schools at 2:30, Henry King at •4:15, and the Big Ten at 9:00. Let’s I Dance from 9:30 to 12:30. “The Importance of Being Hon | est” is the title of the Oscar Wilde . play to be presented over KORE i tomorrow at noon by a newly or 1 ganized group of mostly ex-Uni versity dramatists. The group’s monicker is the Repertory Theatre of the Air, and they are being sponsored by the local station. Those taking part in tomorrow’s production, which is being directed by George Wilhelm, are Guy Worn ham, Mrs. A. E. Brockman, i Frances Burnett, Mrs. Gerda I Brown, Fred Davis, Mrs. Mary j Wornliam, and William George.

It’s thirty. Time Newsreel at Me Donald Sunday liy Cynthia Liljeqvlst Emerald Theater Editor ! We are pleased to announce the first presentation of “The March of ' Time," a bi-monthly treat begin ning this Sunday at the McDon ald. The exact nature of this news reel has not been divulged but we \ suspect that it will compare the old news reels like Time Magazine i compares with ordinary news or , gans. And that is a compliment. “The Band Plays On" started off well with a dash of originality when it showed the kaleidoscopic changes of the “four bombers" but soon relaxed into a hackneyed pic turization of college life that di rectors revel in. I Perhaps before we die some kind ! director will give the American public a show that represents uni versity life as it is and not this silly drivel Joe College convention that passes as the real thing. "Limehouse Blues" with George Raft and Jean Parker fails com pletely to establish the atmosphere that reputedly surrounds the Lon don waterfront. To begin, Parker, darling of waterfront has about as much individuality as a sweet girl graduate, and Raft made his initial mistake by not showing off tlie dancing prowess that made Bolero r. success. Perhaps the reason was that dancing partner, Wong has only one wiggle to her repertoire. The atmosphere was conscien tiously superimposed on a weak foundation like make-up on a poor complexion. Examples: women of the streets poised at regular in tervals; the whipping of little Nell by a cruel stepfather with a hu morously Neanderthal head; Chi 1 nose lore sprinkled here and there: the wicked Lilly Garden. In contrast to nefarious half breed Raft. Jean's love of Tru-blu Harold proportions spends his time exercising thoroughbred hounds and being kind to old ladies. Lowe begins over an armload of puppies and blooms m Kensington hot houses. In our opinion the picture miss 1 cs aim. but then, that is just a i -alter of Lisp- and you may go in tor the thrilling . muggling escapes. . mu the 1 t ruggle. f At the Igloo Tonight By Stanley Kobe 0:' - '• u ■?: r A Professor Probes Public Opinion --- By Edward I'riv ' B?il Editor's note: Mr. Be!!, distin guished journalist and European correspondent during the war, is in Europe now, interviewing statesmen and heads of govern ments for a series of articles for The Literary Digest. The Asso soeiation of Coliege Editors ar ranged tor Mr. Bell to write a series of articles dealing with the part that college faculties and undergraduates are playing in European affairs. Ballot Awakens Interest “Our peace ballot has awakened I astonishing interest throughout j Great Britain, and gives every promise'of a complete clarification i of the thought of this country on what we regard as the most im portant political question in the world.” The speaker was a rather slight, trim-looking, high-browed, keen I eyed, affable man of the study, : Great Britain’s foremost scholar : in politics, Professor Gilbert Mur ray, of Oxford, chairman of the League of Nations Union, forceful, > brilliant, and sometimes wither ingly caustic in debate. Clarification Necessary "This clarification of thought j was necessary,” continued the pro lessor. “Wc are not asking our ! citizens the absurd question whe ther they favor peace. But a num ber of other relevant things were far from clear, so far from clear, j indeed, as to be diametrically in ' dispute. "For example, nobody could say ' with authority what the country really felt and thought about our obligations under the covenant of the league, especially the obliga tion to fight for peace, if neces sary. Eminent persons averred that we were bound by all our ob ligations, eminent persons averred that we were bound by none of 1 them, that we were free to act as we might elect. i .in ciupru in k hi; “Even the league itself, the ques tion of whether we wished to stay in or get out, had been enveloped in fog, some declaring that we thought more of the league than ever, and some retorting that we were notoriously sick of it and ea ger to be forever shut of it. What was actually true nobody could tell. All this contention and con tusion was bad, bad for us moral ly and mentally, extremely bad for the cause of peace. "We liked none of it ■ we of the League of Nations Union in Great Eritain. Lord Cecil, a leader, surely, of high sanity, unquestioned patriotism, and great public au thority in Great Britain, took the initiative for a drastic clearing up of all the matters in doubt respect ing British sentiment and opinion touching peace and how to main tain it. The peace ballot was the result. Opposed 1>> Nationalists In the United States, there is a great deal of opposition to any ef fort to get America into the 1 league. “Yes: by .-oute of our newspa pers and by some of our conserv ative-. The Rothermere and Bea verbtook Press is violently it: op Tt i the 1 eo >711 e i and all it means. It is for national solation and independent defensive j irming. It represents everything jut of accord with what we call :he collective system of creating j vorld harmony and securing world ieace. As for the conservatives ,vho are opposing us, they doubt- j ess suspect that we are ‘subver sive,’ patriotic, perhaps, in inten .ion, but dangerous in reality.” Sriiish People Answer But is all this opposition lilirt ng you much, Professor Murray? “I have said that they loathe ;he league. I have said that they picture the British people as par :ieipating in this loathing. Well, :he ballot, so far as it has gone— i.nd it has gone some way reveals :he British people as all but unani mously tor the league. Ninety seven per cent is the showing up ,o date.” King Speaks for League The administration in Washing ton seems a bit more friendly to ward the league of nations just now. Is there any “official friend liness" on the part of the national government in England to what the League of Nations Union is trying to do ? “Its most solemn public expres sions commit it to our aims. We are doing what? Backing the League of Nations. Note these words in the latest king’s speech: ‘The maintenance of world peace does not cease to give my govern ment the most anxious concern. They will continue to make the support and extension of the au thority of the league <>r nations li cardinal point in their policy.' ” Efforts of People Needed Your last word to the world on this subject of peace ? “It is implicit in all I have been saying: Let the men and women, the young and the oiti, of every country and every civilization pour more thought, energy, and money Chili Con Carne 1 Oc fit THE OEEGANA i I FREE DELIVERY i I !
