Once in a Blue Moon
'JMIIRTKKN million dollars and almost Hint
many speeches at least it seems so
have gone in preparing for this day, but the
sun came up per sehedule and the leaves con
tinued falling on the campus in their ancient
autumn way. 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.

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. . , .

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.”

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.
