Bruce Currie, Jim Jarvis, assistants Grass for Oregon’ Grids *JplIK llnivci'sily of Oregon and Oregon State college are distinguished in a way of which noil her students nor alumni are proud: our gridstcrs slid practice and play the pigskin sport on muddy hog fuel. At Oregon State, where the fight for a turf field has been carried on unceasingly for years, a commission of throe men has been appointed to make definite recommendations on turfing Hell field. If their project is successful, Oregon may not be merely one of the last two major col leges which still use sawdust fields, but will become probably the only ranking school in the country where baekficld men slip and slide chasing the elusive ball over a muddy gridiron. * # # 'TMJRF experts and the experience of other schools in the northwest have shown that the cost of maintaining the grass on Hayward field. Hell field, and in Multnomah stadium ^•otild be only slightly higher than the sum now expended on the sawdust, despite the wear and tear of Oregon’s heavy precipi tation. An adequately-drained turf field can be in stalled for as little as $df)0, smaller schools have shown. The initial outlay would be small indeed in proportion to the benefits involved. <* # =» TITTU'1 Linfield lias outstripped her big brother li \ put liny' in t urT. Both long view high school in Washington and Astoria Jdyli school teams are playing on turf at present, while lhe I’ol'tland high schools are contemplatin'; such a move. Willamette is determined to have grass on her grid either next season or in 1IKIS and l’acitic also has an eye on the greensward. Oregon Normal has definitely indicated an interest in chang ing, over to turf. There has long been a feeling in Hugene, Corvallis, and Portland that the state’s three major gridirons must someday lie tnrfed. Ore gon State has worked toward this goal for the past several years and the Beavers are hailing the present investigation of its leas ability as a big step toward put I ing their team on top of the heap in Pacific coast football. It's time Oregon’s major schools should cease having to stipulate that "we don t have any grass ’ when they invite their coast con ference playmates over to their yards to play. We Go to the Polls "Y’KST KB I ).\Y we voted for the first time. The experience has been tenderU filed away with memories of our first girl, the first ‘ down on our lip, and the previous appurtenance of manhood's estate the first time we ever bought a glass of beer without the waitress asking for our driver’s license. The polling place was in the basement ol an old church, where the deal booths must have replaced the chairs and tables of t Ik Sunday school. The air of the plat e, the post ers on the wall and all, carried us back to the Sunday school of our childhood, where our teacher, the town’s wealthy man, used to supplement the pull of the gospel with a ten cent bribe apiece for regular attendance. We thought of our child devotions, but that was not the only thing that made the experience of our first ballot something of a religious one. # # # 'T'HE quiet sobriety of the three middle-aged women clerks and the grayhaired judge of the election board was a contributing fac tor, but Ihe main thing in this pious atmos phere was personal —our feeling of participat ing in something immense, something that reached above and beyond the confines of the little white church. There was something religious in the feel ing that we were having our small but very important say about how this great country is run. There was also in our mind an enhance ment of democratic faith. Indeed there was something too of the feel ing that must move missionaries—pity for the poor heathens in many parts of the world who have given up their voice in government for authoritarian rule.

DEAR OLD DAYS To the editor: Ah this Seems to be a period of j question throwing, what with midterms, and the ■ query in yesterday’s Emerald about Oregon’s band, we would like to ask one too, Mr. Editor WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OREGON’S TRADITIONS? When freshmen arrive on the campus, they are full of enthusiasm for the many customs older friends and relatives back home have saved up and told them about college life. But when they arrive on the hallowed grounds of our campus, they find only an empty husk, and they wonder, no doubt, if those delightful tales of a Hello lane, no walking on the Oregon seal, punishment for painting the senior bench green, pigging, and countless others were merely fiction. But Mr. Editor, they weren’t fiction in olden days, and at the present they serve as many gradu ate's most delightful memories of schooldays. Are we so devoid of sentiment that we are im mune to the charm of these stories which enhance any fireside group on an evening? As we such innane sophisticates that we are bored at the pros pect of standing to sing our alma mater, of stand ing to honor our president or other persons of note when they appear before us, of enthusiastic ally finding and making the freshmen who deco rated our senior bench with a huge 1940, scrub it clean? Have we outgrown the beauty of vine covered halls and the joy of recounting all the little adventures we experienced there ? When there is no more interest in that part of wholesome college fun, it is time to do something. For isn't it the telling of these tales that in later life make on a jolly good fellow? What can be our trouble ? Are we getting too academic? Are we letting our institution "down,” disillusioning and dulling future leaders by our attitude of "Oh, what’s the use, I can’t be both ered?’’ Is it lethargy, laziness, spinelessness, pretended boredom and sophistication which is spoiling so many jars of fun that might be safely stored in our memory closets? After all, a man with nothing more to interest him in the world is better off as a hermit or in a grave. Where has the freshness and joyous spontaniety our age is supposed to possess, disappeared, and WHY DON’T SENIORS FIND SOMEONE TO SCRUB THE NEW GREEN OFF THE SENIOR BENCH ? Lillian Warn. THE BAND AGAIN To the editor: The criticism of the University! hand seems to have changed from discussion of, the type of music played to the band itself. Far be it from me with my lack of musical know ledge to state my views on swing music but when the band is the subject, I can wade into the con- I troversy. 1 believe that everyone, including the band, who i attended the game at Portland realized what a I particularly lousy group we have. The Washing ton outfit was not the best one I've heard but it made the Oregon band look sick. In size, direction I and equipment it was superior. A slight degression to talk about the Oregon band uniforms will not be as forceful as it should, because profanity is barred. Capital punishment j is much too light for the persons who selected j them. Or did economy force the purchase of used bus-driver uniforms ? I do not intend to lay the blame on the band < itself. They are, as far as 1 know, a hard work ing, conscientious lot. The old cry of lack of support has to be raised, and with justification. The band is deserving of the whole-hearted back- I ing of the students. That we need a band is 1 believe generally ae- i eepted. 1 d like to see a smart looking, well-led 1 group that we could be proud of. not one that ! would be the cause of embarrassment. Vie Dellaire. "... SMART GUY A recent letter to the editor of the California ' Daily Bruin, UCLA, read: Dear editor: I just read Tuesday's editorial on I he Italian war celebration; entitled. "You Can't Tool Is; We’re Too Ignorant.” t am deeply Impressed. l*n't it wonderful, fellow students, how that aw till man, Mussolini, can fool those forty - > i tour million poor misled Italians and yet he can t tool our editor. No. I guess our editor is just too smart for them, lie must worry Mussolini and his boys terribly. lust think how lucky we are to have as editor this genius of world polities who under stands the world a* a glance and lets us know the true dope.—H. K. | Tune ’er Out... By BOB POLLOCK The election is over, all doubt as to peanuts as rolling stock has been removed, the deserving Demo* crats are smiling oilily, the rueful Republicans sadly, sorrowing over their lost millions, and now we can settle down and get decent radio entertainment. Among the best in the post election revival of radio will be Meredith Willson and his band tonight on KEX at 7 p. m. If you like stuff that makes the ol’ red corpuscles do stjuads right and columns left same as the Colonel’s hoys, try him. He’s playing nothing but military marches . . . and is doing it for Odd McIntyre who asked for it a few days ago in a column not much better than this one—or do we over-estimate ourselves? You’ll set: U. S. Field Artillery march, Washington Post march, and all the best and loudest. KOIN gives us one of the better group singing programs tonight with "Come On, Let's Sing” sched uled for 6:30 .. . guy by the name of Coalheaver, Rodeheaver, or Sea fever does the sounding of the A’s . . . rather think it’s the middle one. Just like the Emerald’s Joe college stylist, Bill Sandford who writes Fashion Headlights, is a new series of radio style shows with all the latest dope on what milade drapes on her over stuffed figger . . . it’s KGW at 1 o’clock Thursdays . . . but their stuff will be original and not re prints from Esquire . . . Rubinoff, fiddle player of some ability, it is said, won’t face his orchestra when he conducts . . . instead he memorizes the score and looks the audience over for blonds . . . maybe he should try paying the band more and then he would n't be ashamed to face the music. We just happened to remember if the Kansas sunflower blooms all unsuspected and Roosevelt is the rueful one, disregard the lead paragraphy. This thing was writ ten at 6 o’clock last night. Advisory Service (Continued front page one) the following representatives: Dr. R. W. Leighton, administra tive chairman; Dean J. R. Jewell of the school of education, who formally organized the service j three years ago; Dean Karl W. On- i thank of the personnel division, vo cational guidance; Dr. Fred N.1 Miller of the Health service, chief consultant for health problems; Dr. Luther L. Mays of the school of education, consulting psycholo gist; L. Kenneth Shumaker, lan guage and methods of study diffi culties; and Dean O. F. Stafford, head of the lower division advis ory system. The members of the committee, state that the most serious schol astic and personality problems lie among those students who are found at the bottom and the top of the ability scale, respectively. The lower division of the ability scale includes students with bad study habits, amenable physical deficiencies and speech difficulties, all of whom the organization at tempts to help. Students who are emotionally unbalanced, whose energies are pointed in the wrong direction, and whose interests are focused on the wrong activities are some of those at the top of the ability scale brought to the attention of the service. It handles students ob tained through the channels of the lower division advisory system, the health service, the heads of houses, and the offices of the dean of women and the dean of men. Two courses now carried by the school of education in conjunction with this work are the mental hy giene and methods of study cours es.

Laur gaard trophy for the house having the highest proportion of freshman dads visiting it. Plans for the banquet, the lead ing event of the weekend, are nearly completed and will be an nounced this week, says Bernadine i Bowman, banquet chairman. Plans are to be released early that stu dents may have the opportunity to tell their fathers what awaits them. LIBE WORK CONTINUES Authorities in charge of con struction on the new library said there would be no holdup in con struction due to the maritime strike now in progress. Nearly all the materials needed have been shipped to Eugene. The rest are being held in Portland un til required for completion of the building. JEWELL SPEAKS Dean J. R.

Thick shakes at TAYLOR’S.—adv. Scientists Bring Rare Specimens From Depoe Bay Roy C. Andrews, instructor of chemistry, together with Max Doty, sophomore majoring in sci ance, and David Rogers, a major in forestry at Oregon State col lege, brought back specimens of a highly poisoning mushroom from Depoe Bay last weekend. Doty collected a large number of mushrooms, seaweed and stalac tites, the latter from the sea caves near the underground lake. Among the nearly 40 different kinds of mushrooms he brought back were some specimens of am anita muscaria, one of the most deadly of mushrooms. It is charac terized by its bright vermillion cap covered with tan blotches. It has both a ring and a cup. The ring is a short flaring fringe around the upper part of the stem and the cup is the remnant of the tissues that surround the young mushroom. ‘‘Early Americans used to crush this mushroom and mix it with syrup thus making excellent fly paper,” said Doty. ‘‘One mush room is capable of killing several people.” Seme of the seaweed were lam inaria, rockweed or fucus, and sea palms. The latter have a striking resemblance to real palm trees. Boarding House (Continued from page one) left unfulfilled promises, unpaid bills, and confusion. Miss Rush managed a rooming house at 639 E. Broadway and a boarding house at Hilyard and Broadway. She last year ran a boarding house for boys at 13th and Onyx. Miss Rush has lived in Eugene for many years, having attended the University at various times, doing research work in psychology. She taught school in Lane county Send the Emerald to your friends.
