The Real Meaning
Of Homecoming
Homecoming approaches.
What is Homecoming? What is it other
than the football game?
Next weekend Oregon students will be
divorced from their own interests. Their isolation
as a distinct community of people will be tem
porarily penetrated. Alumni will flood living
quarters and the campus. On Saturday over 2000
Oregon State students will be present on the
campus. Parents of students and citizens of the
state will gather, and the University will become
a cosmopolitan society.
The problem presented is Sn essential one—
essential to the whole development of individuals.
Students at the University are not finished hosts.
They are hosts to people of their own kind and
people who reflect like sentiments. Training in
this kind of guest management is simple. But for
students to be intelligent hosts to a heterogen
eous group of visitors is another matter, a prob
lem that has not been too successfully solved by
past generations of Ducks.
If our students could look upon the little ob
ligation as one that challenges wit and ability,
the position as hosts would not loom as irksome.
College students too often look upon them
selves as finished individuals, not only capable
of coping with intellectual entanglements but
certainly with social changes. Now they have a
chance to throw open their establishments and
direct their interests to real social adjustments
at a time when such adjustments are necessary.
Student Movements
In Italy and U.S.
rpHE student movement in Italy is character
-1- ized by a flagrant attack on all merchandis
ing- establishments which are controlled by the
Britons, whereas here in the United States the
student movement is witnessed in organized
moves to establish world peace- a fellowhood of
races and nationalities, a more genuine academic
freedom, and a democracy in fact as well as in
name.
The contrast between the two leagues of
action is as that of white on black. The student
in Italy accepts the status quo with all its fas
cists jingoism and goes unto the byways to
render destruction and vandalism that is con
doned and agitated by a propagandists nation
and dictatorship a ravishing display of the un
reasoning, emotional, unscientific sort of "pa
triotism” which is wont to be praised in every
country that depends on militarism. As catastro
phic as it is to civilization, the Italian unfortun
ately believes as he reads, and what he reads is
generally, if not entirely, organized propaganda
of the autocratic state.
The majority of the students of America is
oppositively critical of what he may read, and
what he reads is an endless chain of opinion and
expression uncensored by the government. He has
learned by the elevating influences of education
to observe, experiment, uul reason by induction
before arriving at a conclusion a conclusion
which may be altered or changed at that time
when further evidence may impair former and
partial knowledge or assumptions. Truth mani
festo itself as does the mightiest element in any
phenomenon, and it is the American student to
day who appreciates this fact. American student
movements on the whole eternally seek to bene
fit humankind the world over, by education to
ward peace, by love and brotherhood, and his
impartial convictions ate applied in all practical
instances.
It so happens that this country was founded
on democracy and that enough of this foundation
remains to insure to a great extent freedom ol
speech and true education. We Americans should
feel fortunate that the students in our higher
education strive not to please the present gov
ernmental administration, but instead to change
those many elements in the status quo which over
a period of time have proved themselves to be
Inadequate and unsound.
By this scientific and brotherly approach it
is quite possible someday that the efforts of edu
cation "shall not have been in vain," that other
nations shall become imbibed with reason, and
that each nation and the world as a whole will
“long endure" as a more apportioned common
wealth and absolute democracy.
Is the University
A’ Black Sheep?
''INHERE isn't a major university or college on
-*• the Pacific coast that doesn’t have its own
radio station either on the campus or in the
college town except the University of Oregon.
The official station foi tire University (and
tin* other state schools I is located at Corvallis.
The other schools on the coast and the ma
jority of colleges and universities throughout the
n .woti a. iji uccp in diiv.c: contact with ta -rr
alumni, friends, and state citizens by radio. Ore
gon must send her representatives over to Cor
vallis to do this.
Realizing the value of the radio contact with
Oregon citizenry the University has sent as many
students and faculty members as feasible to Cor
vallis to broadcast University programs, but this
number has been entirely too small.
If the proposed remote control station over
KOAC and located on this campus is installed,
the University will have the opportunity to
parade her students and their acocmplishments
| across the ether waves and to pass on to Ore
gonians the benefits of research and entertain
ment in this school, even as other coast institu
tions are doing for their states.
Youth Would Like
A Concrete Challenge
« A CHALLENGE to Youth”- How many
times during the past five years have stu
dents heard this ph-asc flung at them from plat
forms, pulpits, radios and in writing? Innumer
able times; so frequently in fact it has become
■—as it doubtless was in the beginning -a mean
ingless phrase.
What is this “challenge” that the older gen
eration is making to youth? In what way do they
expect youth to take up the challenge ? Un
fortunately it has not been made explicit. Youth’s
ideas are ground to nothingness under the wheels
of the great political machines that run the na
tion’s politics.
It would throw out a glimmer of light on
the subject if at least one of the scheduled
political speakers, who address the student body
assemblies would “Challenge Youth” and back up
his challenge by giving the students suggestions
as to how it can be met.
IIIR wonder, has the make-up editor of the
* ' Portland Journal a sense of humor? Else
how can the front page gem of a recent edition
be explained.
Under the stern visage of Benito Mussolini,
well known dictator, there is a caption which
reads: "In pronouncing defiance to the League of
Nations today Mussolini declared ‘We will oppose
it (the economic seige) with our most implacable
resistance, with our most firm decision and with
our most supreme contempt’.”
Then, since that night was Hallowe’en, a
poem to the festive eve was placed directly under
neath this caption, with the title in bold face:
“Boo!”
Europe Firsthand
By Howard Kessler
the train from Strasbourg to Paris we were
crowded. A paunchy beef-eater with a bar
tender’s curl in his hair occupied one corner, and
when a lean, lanky Frenchman in a derby led his
family into our compartment and began treading
on everybody’s toes as he slung baggage around,
Bettle blew up. In ten second the place was a
holocaust. Everyone waved his arms frantically,
shrieking at the top of his voice, slamming things
about, and to my uncultured mind it looked like
brewing homicide.
Yet the throe people in my half of the section
didn't bother to look up from their newspapers,
and in another ten seconds Lean and Fat were
cheerfully discussing the weather. Then someone
got up to reach for a bag and Beetle exploded, i
I-lis booming bass filled the carriage. Shortly af
terwards he was feeding candy to one of the i
children.
Writers have raved about the charm of Paris
in spring time, and who am I to dispute expert |
opinion. Certainly there are beauties, but they are
all architectural. The air, laden with the smell
of powder, is depressing, as are the painted faces
that exclusively make up the feminine sex. Every
woman under 50 looks like a prostitute and every
woman over 50, like a cancelled stamp.
If all the powder used by the demoiselles of
Paris in one day were collected and set fire to,
you would have to light a match. Not an out-of
door complexion in the lot, and how can one at
tain any sort of Individuality when all wear those
hideous waxen masks.
I will freely admit that Pals is the most
pleasingly beautiful city I have yet visited. The
French have a knack of arranging things for
effect. The English throw up a Saint Paul’s or
a Tower Bridge and think, "Well, that's that,"
whereat a host of dirty tenements spring up to
obliterate the beauty of their creation. The Ger
mans go one better and sling everything into
the Kaiseiplat/.. London is ugly, Berlin is scarcely
less so, Madrid cannot triumph over its environ
ment, New York is impressive, but Paris is strik
ing. The Arc do Triomphe is placed at the top
of a long hill, and tiie magmticlent Champs Ely
sees leading up to it. gives it priceless advan
tages: the Tuilleries do not compare in size with
the Retiro park, Hyde park, or Central park,
but it is infinitely more attractive than any of
them.
It was with some difficulty that I located the
Folios Bergere, being held back by two kinds
oi traffic automobile and woman. Tire difference !
between the two was that the former slackened
off when I returned to the hotel at midnight,
while the latter increased, so that in some streets
it was like bucking the line in football.
The Folios was mildly disappointing. It was
a good revue. but undeserving of its internation
al notoriety. The price of my seat in the gallery' . I
was St'.t’o. and I have seen more amusing pro
ductions in New York for fifty cent They tins
even descended to jugglers and aerobatic dancers,
and that belongs in live-a-day
Featured in the program were skits pointedly
aimed at Hitler and his Nazis, while the French
chamber of deputies did not escape ridicule, la
a grotesque dame, girls wore masks caricaturing
all the French law makers, subtciy poking fun at
their individual idiosyneracies.
Parisian usherettes are like leeches in their
insistence on tips. They will not leave you until
you have shelled out, and it not satisfied with the
amount rendered they politely but firmly insist
oil further disembursement.

Rats !
A dog got into the law schooi li
brary the other evening and routed
four rats out of one of the book
cases. Is that why the law school
enrollment increased this year?
Another census should be taken
to see how many rodents there are
left in the building.

We hear of a frolicksome young
Americano who, while traveling in
Italy, got himself somewhat bueno
bendo on rare old vino and pro
ceeded to a public square in Rome,
where he had another drink and
then divested himself of several
rousing cheers for I-Iaile Selassie.
The chap was escorted across
the border by a special detachment
of carbini who told him not to
bother about returning. If the
young fellow craves further ac
tion, he might try taking a piece
of chalk ,to Japan and using it to
draw caricatures of Hirohito on the
sidewalks of Tokyo.

Rest in Peace
Senator Borah, the one man
brain-trust from the sagebrush of
Idaho, broke down the other day
and confessed that even he could
not write a better constitution
than the one we now have.
Thank you, Senator. Now we
can sleep at night. No longer are
we haunted by the terrible feai
that the country is going to the
dogs. If you can find it in your
heart to be satisfied with the back
bone of the nation, then, indeed,
all is well.
Hearst Departs
William Randolph Hearst is go
ing to leave California. It seems
that out of his annual income of
$4,000,000.00 he will have to pay
the state of California $580,000 in
taxes, leaving a beggarly $3,480,
000 for him to use in feeding Mar
ion Davies and the kiddies.
“Heaven knows I don't want to
leave,” Mr. Hearst says.
Too bad the people of California
can't say the same thing.
Seems that the Alpha Phi gals
decorated their house with balloons
for the dance the other night. The
balloons all rose up to the ceiling,
and the Phis didn’t have the haz
iest idea of how they were going
to get them down. Along came
the dance. During intermission the
playboys present, thinking it cute,
started tearing the decorations
down. The girls stuck their
tongues in their cheeks and let the
boys work the joint over. The up
shot of the whole thing: The girls
got their problem solved, and the
Joe rah-rahs came away feeling
most elated.

We got quite a shock this morn

John (Egg-head) Engstrom, var

finger nails. On closer examina

training table ketchup.

Harriet Hilliard, pretty vocalist
whom Ozzie Nelson finally broke
down and married, is so good that
they're not going to put her in
the picture she originally went to
Hollywood to make. The film pro

“Follow the Fleet”; she will take
the role of Miss Rogers’ singing
sister.
Fred Allen will welcome Harry
von Zell, his new handy man, to
Bedlamville in Town Hall Tonight
at 9 this evening. Tunes to be
played on the program are “Sugar
Plum” from Allen’s new picture;
“Rhythm and Romance,” “Rock
and Roll,” “On Treasure Island,”
and “His Old Cornet.”
Gertrude Murray, the “one-girl
band” who imitates the instru

exhibit her instrumental virtuosity
with “I’m in the Mood for Love”
on the same program.
“Rose.” songs will be the theme of
Hazel Warner’s matinee recital
this afternoon. She will sing “So
Red the Rose,” “I Gave a Rose to
You,” and “Moonlight and Roses.”
The criticism of having numer

• If you have searched for cigarette mildness, mark the words of
George Lott, the tennis champion, and the 7-goal polo star, Cyril
Harrison. "Camels,” says Mr. Harrison, "are so mild they don't upset
the nerves or affect the wind. And when I’m tired I get a ’lift’ with
a Camel." And Lott adds:”I understand that more expensive tobac
cos are used in Camels. They are gentle on the throat. And Camels
never get my wind." Turn to Camels and enjoy to the full the pleas

Camels for mildness — tound that
Camels don't afleet sound v\ ind or
