Traditional Moan
For More Traditions
“'•pRADITIONS are dead. 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

English novelist, who like.
Proust, Slcndnhl, Turgenleff, ani
Murnsnki, we owe the title of thh
column. To Milton Plllette, Guil<

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.”

W/E have two biographies of a
well-known dictator. 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

“Fine,” he replied. “I’ve been

you have here.”
This Cougar ace is from Escon

His number is 28. If he plays

"The friends and the foes of the
parties,
Were touting the good and the bad;
While all over the paper like meas
les,
Were sprouting political ads."—A
little poetry so early in the morn
ing is good for the soul . . . even
if it isn't good poetry.
Bing Crosby, he of the dreamy
eyes, quavering vocal cords, and
slipping hirsute decoration, is first
choice of the Marquette university
football players as their favorite
radio star, if a recent poll can be
trusted through a press agent's
hands . . . close on his heels were
Rudy Vallee and Morton Downey
. . . with Tarzan and the guy that
plays Popeye not even among the
also runs . . . '
Old Alonzo Stagg will break out
a fresh bottle of liniment and tot
ter up to be interviewed by Ed
ward Everett Horton on Shell Cha
teau this eve . . . the spot is on
KGW from 6:30 to 7:30 . . . in ad
dition, the oil company paid for a
pretty good orchestra, V i c t o 1
Young's. Should be worth rushing
through dinner a little early for—•
although you’re lucky if you don’t
have to eat in a beanery and sleep
in an alley, this being homecom
ing.
A lyll limy program wmcn is
really good, the national barn
dance, goes on a mythical tour ot
the world tonight . . . mentioning
Swedish stomach aches, and the
acid condition of the South" Seas
head-hunters in their plugs, no
doubt. Anyway, it Comes on right
after the Hit Parade—which we
still say is nauseating—and it’s on
KOW.
All week hardly a gripe. So now
we get the venom out of our souls.
It concerns radio announcers who
read poetry over the air. Like
corpeclians who play Hamlet, only
about one in a hundred of ’em can
do it . . . yet they get some yokel
who has had a couple of lessons to
pound the studio's squeaky organ
and, against a background of its
sobs and sighs, proceed to unload
the agony that is in their souls.
Shoot ’em, we say!
