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.

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.

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.
