In fact nothing in nature indi cated that some -40 million citizens would go to the polls today and mark their choice for the presidency of these United Stales. Some say that this has been the most hard fought campaign in the history of the nation. Certainly it has broken at least two records: party expenditures and 'the number of voters registered. And on other scores it has been remarkahie. New techniques fur the molding of public opinion have brought lightning-fast, ladies. Radio has been used as never before. Telephoto has played a big ride. Rapid trans portation has whipped candidates around the country. The ordinary devices for news dis semination have been geared up. lCveu the phonograph, in the ease of Senator Vanden burg s much-discussed debate, was put to novel use. Jgl’T the really remarkable aspect of the campaign is that for the first time in re cent years the two major parties have (dearly split on the issues. In the minds of I he mil limis who go to the polls today there will not he iniii'h doubt as to the principles for which the I wo major candidates stand, and the vote will he a correspondingly clear expression id popular opinion on those principles, a thing which happens about once in a blue moon. Again parties mean something. Prink’s Passing Show 'T'llKRK was plent\ of do or die spirit on Multnomah field Saturday afternoon. There was the element of surprise, injected when Coach Prince Gary Callison sent a couple of unknown sophomores into tho lineup and thereby put the forward pass back into Oregon football. Oregon didn’t win, but it wouldn’t be much of a gamble to say that in the minds of the 3 1.000 paying customers, Ihe assembled stu dent bodies of the two universities, and the Portland poliee force. Oregon’s gridiron stock has taken a decided upturn. # * * ^JNEXPKCTLDLY Callison had equipped bis cruncher-less Webfoots with one of the most effective passing combinations seen in action o)i the coast this year. There were plenty of (In-ills: alert Caplain Del Bjork blocked the firsl punt which Hither Logg has had smothered in four years of hooting; Washington crossed midfield just once and capitalized on their single opportunity with a beautifully executed goal line thrust. But topping those thrills for Oregon fans .jaded by drab, line-punching football were two passes, Gammon to Verby for 31 yards, and, again Gammon to Verby for 24. The astonished crowd Went wild when, in less than 4n minutes, Oregon completed more passes than she did in the 1935 season and the frist half of the ’36 combined. # * * C ALLISON took last year's freshman pass ing eombihation and showed the Wash ingtonians a passing attack they not only couldn’t fathom hut that would have shown up well against Texas Christian or SMC. teams that fill the aii' with footballs. Apparently Oregon crowds are ready for more razzle-dazzle in their football—color, not crunch. Apparently, also, Oallison and his men are going to supply it. Regarding Snipe-Throwers “CIVIC pride” they call it in cities and t owns. ‘‘Campus pride” we may call it at the University of Oregon. Justly we ask the home folks to admire our smooth green-swards, one vine-clad halls of learning, our weeping willows and stately firs. We have a right to take pride in our cam pus. Not many schools of higher learning in the nation have more picturesque settings, and thanks to a competent staff of grounds keepers, the Oregon campus usually shines with neatness. # 4 a g'lTDENT1 cooperation, however. is a neces sary adjunct, to professional care in the maintenance of a clean campus. Cigarette butts strewn thoughtlessly about the lawns, sidewalks, and in the buildings, paper torn into minute fragments and scattered to the breezes, can make ugly the best of schools. The students’ contribution is largely a negative one. It consists in not destroying, rather than in building up. If students do not drop snipes on the campus, do not throw papers or apple cores on the paths, the task of the University workmen is made much easier, and we can say to Dad next week end, “This is our campus. Don’t you think it \s a beautf” Campus Comment (The views aired in this column are not necessarily expressive of lCmerald policy. Communications should be kept within a limit of 250 words. Courteous restraint should fie employed in reference to personalities. No unsigned I letters will be accepted. To the editor: What is the matter with Oregon’s band? It’s an awful slate of affairs when the opposing team’s band has to play “Mighty Oregon" for us. Courtesy to the visiting team is all right, but not when the W ashington band steals the show. First we started to have a “swing band," but now even that seems to have disappeared. We have just as good players in our band as Washington, and should have just as concise for mations as those exhibited last Saturday, so why don’t we use them ? Come on Oregon, we don’t have to take a back seat to anyone. Show us what you can do next time. . , .

Ships bound to port numbered 115 last night and others were du 1 to be held when they reached ports along the coast. Estimates showed that 37,000 marine workers were on strike, and jobs of 20,000 lumber workers were threatened by the tieup. Fruit shippers in the Yaki ma territory indicated that 200 carloads of apples will be sent for loading in British Columbia ports where ships are not affected by the strike. » * * Falling Mercury Below zero weather hit Oregon yesterday to formally usher in an early winter. Theremometers .sank below the zero mark in Meaeham. Ukiah, and Burns. Eugene’s low _ mark yesterday was 23 degrees.

Hop’s SKIPS & JUMPS interview comes to hand which begins thusly, "What's the matter with Oregon?" and continues, "I’ll tell you what's wrong,” (reminding me that Marx Groucho once said it’s pretty hard to be wrong when you’re talking to yourself). The piece goes on to list, among others, such gripes as: we don't want green lids, we don’t spank frosh for smoking on campus, we don’t have pajama parades, we don’t have “good old rallies.” And not only that, but “twenty years ago we used to hate other schools just for the joy of com bat. Bring back that something that makes the old boys get a thrill and a tight feeling in their throats whenever they hear ‘.Mighty Oregon,’ ” and such. That’s not ail there is there ain’t no more, but it will suffice. pirst of all, there is such a thing as becoming outmoded regard ing some practices which might have been alleged traditions. Green hats we do wear, especially at foot ball games and when it rains. The allusion must have been to what are called "dinks” in some quar ters. Now the dink business was long ago filed systematically in the wastebasket in every univer sity at which I have had' the pleas ure of leaving my books around to gather dust. Thi3 you may see me about in my office. As for spanking frosh for smoking on campus, or for any thing else for that matter, the idea is to handle freshmen with great care. And if they find themselves spanked in public their only reaction is hurray for college and what swell publicity. All this outside of the fact that spanking them for anything whatsoever is indeed a fruitless measure and not what I have been led to believe is spirit. Pajama parades and “good old’’ rallies I'd like very much to leave to their sweet slumber. In our tcwr,the college boys used to have pajamarinos and tremendous ral lies but after a while somebody got the idea that “spirit” should be something more—“deeper” I think was the word' than simply a ges ture by which sophomores could show off and freshmen could be shown off. In short, it’s a lot of hooey and slice it ever so thin it remains so. * * * 'J’O be brief about this next one, I saw entirely too many "thrilled” old boys with that "tight” feeling during the recent home oming to appreciate that argu ment, especially as one for bigger and better spirit. If the “old boys” can’t do better than that, then we've ample school spirit. Now about that twenty years ago stuff, I’m sorely tempted to come back with “that was twen ty years ago,” but I won’t. In j those dear dead days the idea ! was to “hate other schools just for the joy of combat” apparent tly (this I confess is right past me), just as the idea today is for everybody to hoot in to Port land and forget. It’s all the same emotion ami nobody means a word of it nor ever will. Frankly false emotionalism is something which I am against. Itj was responsible for all the “fire” i shown by our noble doughboys at j the time of the last war and it may get the same credit again one of these days. But there will be a few who will look beyond the free ride and the free grub. They'll say. "the hell with that stuff.” JNations By HOWARD KESSLER Spain for tin- nrvf war! Here is a campaign in which Paddock and Prescott may join forces. Do you remember this paragraph from Remarque's “All Quiet on the Western Front?” "Kropp on the other hand is a thinker. He proposes that a dec- i laration of war should be a kind ot ' popular festival with entrance tick- ! ets and bands, like a bull fight. || Then in the arena the ministers and the generals of the countries dressed in bathing drawers and I armed with clubs, can have it out 1 among themselves. Whoever sur- 1 vivos, his country wins. That I would be much simpler and more j just than this arrangement, where I the wrong people do the fighting.” II <* II ant Graves! Today, we may not reasonably i hope to carry out this admirable j | plan as Kropp conceived it. Surely, 1 however, We may have some voice in choosing our battlefield, if we are to be burled thereon.. We “vet erans of future wars” demand to 1m* humored in this respect at least. Here is the case for Spain: 1. Who started this thing any way? Well, maybe it would have been better to ask where it started, since Portugal is pointing fingers at Russia and claiming that a lot of Itchy Ivans did it all with their little sickles. 2. Spain got out of the last war, which ain’t justice. Any by the cheerful abandon with which Span iards are carving up their brothers new it appears that Spain is bin ding for bigger and better wars to be held in their stadium. 3. Spain has a lot of nice scen ery which it would be a pity for Joe Jenkins from Iowa to miss. France had ..something to offer along that line too, but most of it was burled in mud. Spain is pre eminently noted for its sunshine and beautiful girls, and Who does n't like sunshine? 4. Spain, being a comparatively barren country, has less popula tion, less built up territory, and fewer cathedrals than other Euro pean nations. Pretty good scraps could bo staged without damaging the setting irreparably. We admit that the motion picture moguls are going to oppose this campaign of ours from the start: without shat tered spires as a background, their’s will be feeble films. Make It Easy 5. Spaniards just love not mov ing. If we hand this war over to Germany, Spain will drop out. Ger many is too far aWay, and besides it doesn’t have such good siesta weather. No sir, Jose Will stay where he can lay full length in the sun and rest his chin in his hand as he pops off the enemy. We don’t want Spain to miss an other really good war. 6. Things are cheaper in Spain. ! Private Jenkins will want to get j all he can for his dollar a day, and ! seven course meals of fine food cost but 15 cents. In France, a dinner bill, with 15 per cent for service, adds up to a dollar or more. * 7. Have you ever seen Spanish 1 girls dance ? 8. Have you ever seen Spanish girls ? 9. Have you ever been to Spain ? We have other reasons, but this will be enough for us to start working on. We want Spain! Train for Spain! No rain in Spain! No pnins in Spain! Bury your troubles in Spain! Spain! History Museum Given Part of Preserved Tree A section of a tree preserved for hundreds of years in the cold wa ters of Clear Lake at the head waters of the McKenzie river has been presented to the natural his tory museum of the University of Oregon by Perry Thompson, super intendent of the Willamette na, tional forest. Several hundred years ago, a lava flow, probably from Belknap crater, dammed up the McKenzie river and formed Clear lake over what was then forest land. Through several centuries, this forest has been preserved under water, and can still be seen through the clear waters of the lake. Calvin Hall Will Make New Hereditary Tests A new buildin has been added to the psychological research group. Calvin Hall, assistant professor of psychology, will make some experi ments relating to the inheritance of emotional behavior in rats as soon as heating facilities are ob tained. cAsteel speaks to pta The River Road PTA was enter tained last Friday evening by John L.
