Where is that old Ore gon spirit?” The complaint rises again this year, not so strong as in the past, but voiced as always by the older student who harks back to the dear old days when . . . And it takes its in variable theme: why don’t we hack the frosh more and make them wear their green lids? It is hoped the complaint will meet with the same chilly reception it received a year ago. Per haps the proper strategy would be to Ignore this moan for petty frosh-hazing traditions as was pretty generally done last year, but the event of Homecoming makes this rather a good time to deal with it. The Oregon spirit is not dead. In the Home coming celebration of this weekend is ample evi dence that it is not even moribund. What greater demonstration of traditional spirit could one de sire than the parade, the rally and the burning of the frosh "O” last night not to mention the loyal spirit shown by hundreds of alumni “Eack to Honor Oregon” ? A tradition that means something does not die. It is something of the spirit, something in one’s own loyalty that asserts itself, something that cannot be proclaimed by fiat and enforced with paddles. Valuable traditions like Homecoming will proclaim and enforce themselves. An unreasonable tradition that has to be nursed and whacked along deserves to die. United Front Against Tax Limitation \ LUMNI returning to the campus this weekend form a large section of that group of the people throughout the state who are regarded as the strongest friends of the University and educa tion in general. The various campaigns carried on by the stu dents here in the interests of Oregon education are no doubt looked upon with importance by grads, who are concerned with the same goal of aiding education. During the present political campaign there is proposed one measure which students and faculty, as well as friends of education throughout the state are primarily concerned with, and against which they present a united front. This proposed measure which friends of educa tion are opposing is the suggested amendment limiting and reducing permissible taxes on tang ible property, Nos. 310-311. \ S has been indicated in several articles by leading tax authorities, passage of this mea sure would cut the revenues of education another $1,000,000 by 1942. Education has already had a cut of $1,000,000 since 1929, despite the fact that enrollment is once again at an all-time high mark. All departments are operating at an absolute minimum, and need greater allotments, rather than cuts in revenue. Dean James H. Gilbert has led the fight of the faculty against this measure by writing a series of articles showing the irreparable damage passage would do. Student leaders have united to oppose it. Liberals and conservatives, fraternity groups and independent groups, all have opposed the measure. A special “man in the street” poll of 50 students showed not a single student for the proposal. Student and faculty leaders are hopeful that alumni returning to the campus will feel this unanimous sentiment. They hope that word will be carried throughout the state asking voters, in the interest of education, to fight this proposed measure, and vote 311 X No. A Startling Play, "Bury the Dead” F'OIi the first time in recent University history the drama department presents their fall show to coincide with the homecoming’ of Oregon’s grads. As fitting subject for this unusual occa sion the department will give a unique play, Irwin Shaw's “Bury the Dead.” This passionate, almost frantic, outbreak against war startled and thrilled New York audiences during the past season. "It is alleged that certain members of an in fantry regiment refuse to be buried," says the newspaper editor, re-echoing the skepticism of an unbelieving world upon hearing that six corpses had arisen from their grave to decry war in all its filth and horror. The play is an emotional powerhouse, poorly constructed in places, but ingrained with a frantic but strong appeal for peace, now couched in satire, now disgust, now violent sarcasm and wrapped in an aura of horror. The presentation may startle a few, as conven tional language cannot carry the ardent message, but grads and students should not miss one of the strongest anti-war plays of recent creation. The Thinking Reed By HOWARD KESSLER *pO itobbceu West, •13-yoar-oU English novelist, who like. Proust, Slcndnhl, Turgenleff, ani Murnsnki, we owe the title of thh column. To Milton Plllette, Guil< Hall romantic star, we owe the re view of Westian "Thinking Reed.’ "A psychological study," com ments Pillette, "propounding the theory that man, by admitting hi; inferiority to nature, rises nbov nature. He is a reed in the wind who does not break, but sways with elemental forces. It takes tin heroine of this novel many year to find this philosophy. She insists on fighting violently against vio lence which besets her, until she finally submits to it, and discovers strength in her submission. “The Thinking Reed” is for the thinking reader.” « * « OHOULD you visit the Tri Delt ’ library some evening you will be Introduced to a new departure in house bookrooms, and all is due to Librarian Helm Uorrell, who servos coffee and cakes to the stu eiious coed.

The one, “Hitler,” by Hein/. A. Ileiz, we bought in Berlin last year; the other, "Hitler," by limlolf Olden, we ordered from the Co-op, after relating it as a seven-day litre book. The puzzle is, which to believe? Head them parallel, and your mind goes up in smoke. According to the first, Adolf was the only son of an honest Austrian peasant; the other points out that his father was an illegitimate son. and had j one illegitimate child, two saved from illegitimacy by two of Iris i three marriages, and several other 1 offspring besides Per Fuehrer, Olden insists that Adolf's fath er's name was, until his fortieth year, Schucklbrugor, when he changed it to Hitler. He even sug gests that, had the name remained I Schucklbruger. Adolpf would nev er have become dictator. Can you image 100,000 Ger mans shouting in unison, “Heil Schuckl I bruger!" « « K> ^ ’LASSICALLY profiled \ irgitriu I Son iI it- was di appoin i at hi “End of Summer,” a play by F. N. Behrman. "It is a problem play about a family with too much money. They have no difficulty adjusting' them selves to a world wherein money isn't as important as it once was. “I don't think it would stage exceptionally well, although there is a grand character bit of an old lady, and Denis, the friend of the hero, is a portrait of what one imagines a campus radical is like. The average student, unless he is an omnivorous reader of play \ should not seek it out." «* $ * rjpHE Rise of Liberalism,” by Har old latski, is rather a pon derous history of English and world socialistic trends since feu dal days, according to energetic Bett> Brown. As such, it will hard ly find favor with students-about the-campus. “The working of economic forc es in history, using the theory that concepts of freedom wore planned by the business classes, is the basis of I.aski's scholarly work" \\ S( 1 (diini1 f! e>,j ,'i:> /v ,v i.-i.vl In Guild theater at 7:30 p ut.
