We confessed when we started that we didn’t know beans about the organ ization und training of horn-looters, but now we’re ari old hand. Souza couldn’t tell us anything. There is a realm of inside dope on bands that the layman never penetrates, but a few nights ago, following a particularly warm series of communications on the subject, we were waited upon at our lodgings by a dele gation of bandsmen who, figuratively speak ing. took us by the ear and led us into that esoteric realm. j^AII) they: “You’ve expressed a great deal of admiration for the ‘blank’ band, for the way they snapped through their drill on Multnomah field and all. Well, son, if' you knew the first thing about bands, you’d have seen through that. Didn't you notice that, even though they were a much larger organ ization, no greater volume of sound came forth from their horns than from those of the Oregon band, which is only half as large?” We showed our complete surprise but had to admit the truth of the observation. And then—we say it with all due modesty—with out any prompting from the bandsmen what soever, we reached the conclusion that a pro fessional toodler would have reached: “ring ers! ’ The “blank” band’s personnel con sisted of a balf-in-half-mixture of qualified musicians and of members whose only quali fications was an ability to hold a horn and keej) in step. • # * JIM Doyle, columnist in the Daily Califoru ian, has unreserved admiration as a fellow of the newspaper craft who wasn’t sucked in by fol-de-rol when lie compared the excellent, band of his alma mater with those of the University of Southern California and Stan ford. “(lencrally speaking," says Doyle, “there are two types of college hands. The first type, into which the California hand falls, is the hand that plays and mare lies. The second type, liesl exemplified hy CSC and Stanford, lias defied the most expert attempts at elassi ficaf ion. “The CSC hand, drawn as it is from (lie high schools (d tlic city of Dos Angeles, uecas ionall.v finds itself somewhat lacking in the higher brackets of artistry, so it must employ various spectacular methods to draw t he spectators attention from the music,- Doyle declares. Among these are silk capes, Cos sack garments, seventeen drum majors carry ing batons on swivels and other gingerbread adornments, JK former leader of the Oregon hand, writ ing from New York, reports that many of the eastern college hands are recruited in much the same manner as Doyle reports that ol I SC, only the eastern schools manage to attract professional musicians. The profes sionals play in such hands merely because it enables them to get tickets on the HO-yard line for some of the biggest football games of the country. A^ further remuneration they re ceive free tickets, supposedly for the wife or the girl friend but which they scalp for eight or ten dollars. The writer reports a desertion lately of “Columbia” bandsmen to Fordham, where they get to see better games. No! one more word out of as about the Oregon band. Every one of them is a mu sician even if he can't keep in step; and fur thermore every one of them is a student of the University he represents—a pair of qualifi cations that seem to be exceptional as college bands go. Good Man for Big Job NNOUNCKMENT of the selection of as capable a man as Elmer ('. Eansett for the newly created alumni secretary position will meet with accord from all sources. Much to he commended is the action of the administration and of the alumni hoard head ed hy Dean Gilbert, which has led in the reorganization of the position, so it is now one of much greater importance, and one which, with the accompanying greater salary, can attract an outstanding man. Mr. Fansett’s position of working jointly for a united and larger alumni, the further establishment of the recently conceived Uni versity placement service, and the promotion of the interests of the associated students will unquestionably fill a long felt want. "Y^ITIIOUT doubt his work will tend to establish good will towards the Univer sity. Under the new scheme he will be able to carry out many of the fine things former secretary Robert K. Allen was unable to do because of lack of finances. The problem of working for the three in terests will he a lai'ge one, it is true. But also il is evident that the aim of all three groups is ultimately the same. They are all working for the better welfare of the University in all ils elements. Mr. Fansett's three-way position, enormous as it is, dovetails into one harmon ious and coinciding aim. ' It should he with pleasant anticipation that students, faculty, alumni, and University friends, all took forward to the excellent work which can, and no doubt will, be done by the new secretary. r -i Campus Comment (The views aired in this column are not necessarily expressive of Emerald policy. Communications should be kept within a limit of 250 words. Courteous restraint should l><; observed in reference to personalities. Xo unsigned letters will be accepted.) GERM OF AN IDEA To the editor: One day last week as I was walk ing: toward the libe I popped a half stick of gum inLo my mouth. With that innocent gesture there popped into my mind what a predecessor has called the germ of a great idea. Respectfully I submit it to you. U happened that just before my friend gave mo this half stick, I had read in these columns an editorial to the effect lhat we students should become more campus minded for example, we should be discreet in discarding wrappers of half sticks of gum. , Surely your editorial had its desired effect on me, for as r was taking: my gum I also was won dering where I could inoffensively cast my wrap per. Then came the idea. It is this: cans! Oh, make it boxes it you will, call them refuse containers, or something less indelicate to your tender senses, but I say in blunt, language, give us cans! My artistic sense in the matter of the designing and construction of cans for this purpose, as well as the intricacies of color theory and application is definitely limited. These are problems for artists, not journalists. But there you have the idea. Will not this suggestion please be given thought ful consideration ? Surely it is a change that will affect the habits and lives of practically all of my fellow students. Comrades, let us rise to the exigencies of this proposition. Yea, if we must, we Can and will, for the betterment of ourselves and our posterity, turn radical and start a petition. Is that not enough to rouse you, a worthy, peace loving editor, to response? George Bikman. Campus Calendar Students of the geology depart ment will take a field trip Sunday afternoon at 2:15. The trip will be along the Willamette river in the vicinity of Eugene.

Next come some of the witches around this establishment who go around dressing each other, No sooner does the prof start droning away than some gal reaches out a furtive hand and messes with the collar, scarf, blouse, hair or some thing, of the little friend who sits next. I’m agin it. The, < rud that conies over the loudspeaker during the half of the football game also cooks me. Sonic droop was an all-time all American so he has to talk over the radio between halves. Why | don’t they stick to their clip pings. The clips will buy as many groceries as yapping over the radio with nothing to say. ^^LSO radio announcers who stooge for the funnyman. Those canned laughs they spill don’t add to their charm as far as yours-in haste is concerned. Some of the so-called fair sex also have a sweet habit of turning on a smile and then quickly turn ing it off before a guy has a chance to say “Why, uh—” Much rather a 'no-smile standard than such a business. This is sort of incidental, but I have an awful aversion to people who won't lend me any dough. Who do they think they are—any how? The unmitigated gall of it frosts me. Lanny Ross needn’t think he can escape this righteous wrath, cither. He should do something like, for instance, stop singing over the radio. Another thing: People who say ‘‘he did it” instead of “he done it.” Ah me, what a task lies be fore the educators of this, the I best of all possible worlds. * * * ^^NE of my most important gripes is that person who al ways soaks me a nickel for my second cup of coffee. Sometimes I get so mad I could scream -just scream! Oh, and the lug who ate all the apples from the sanctum-sank stuff of the journalism department [ deserves to be hung up by his toe-! nails and beaten to death with I teaspoons. Bum punsters who iear oft such stuff as “that was no ladle, that was my Unite” are not my idea of some fun. And don't even acknowledge them. There are various dimmarils such as Harry B. Smith of the S. F. Chronicle who start their stuff with "so Dempsey said to me, 'well, Harry—’ ” These are nincompoops, my e h i 1 d r e n— nought by nincompoops. There, too, are those who will come back every time with some thing terrific like "all rightie” or "you said it, sport,” or "you said a sockful, sister" or "okie dokie” or “yea brother."

Don Casciato, Oregana editor, and Howard Overback, business manager, will speak briefly, urging the Yeomen to give their backing to the Oregana. Plans for the initiation will be worked out, after which the Yeo men and Orides groups will meet for their practice dance. Huston are the ahoices at the guard berths, with Nello Giovanini having some chance for the nod on the left side of the line in place of Huston.

Bob Herwig, big center, is an all-American candi date. Good Ship (Continued from page one) Tickets for the affair have been on sale in living- organizations by sophomore agents. The admission price is one dollar, except for sophomores with class cards who are being rewarded with a 25-cent reduction.

That’s why you'll find it in a Coed's Style Book. It is something that is essential to make college life a perfect success. You will find one in the distinguished group of coats at McMORRAN’S. .1 KNITS for those who know their classics! At H. C. HADLEY'S are the most gorgeously soft, gloriously colored knits you've ever seen! Two-piece, with club collars, Brooks, or crew necks. All sizes and all pric es. Velvet SHOES are the thing to go with a velvet dinner dress. At GRAHAM'S you can find the ones that will finish your ensemble off to just the right degree. Go in and look at them. FORMALS this winter may be in rich slipper satin, swishy taffeta, regal velvet, slinky crepe or trailing lace. They may be inspired by Mary, Queen of Scots, Em press Josephine, or by some demure maid from the pages of history. There's a lovely selection at BEARD'S. The DATE DRESS, as ev ery smart collegiate knows, is the most important of all. These little one or two piece affairs of black skirt, embroidered with metal thread, or black velvet, or taffeta are always right for that certain occasion. We take great pride in telling you of these dresses that you can find at H. GORDON AND CO. Be sure and look in there. Black velvet kitten' ear HATS are terribly becoming. They complete the sleekness of a rippling black velvet dress with a fine lace collar. You can find a kitten ear hat at E.

On the Good Ship Swing i ,111111 Time, Saturday night, every body will be thoroughly en joying themselves. The Soph omore Informal promises to be one of the most outstand ing dances of the school year. The houses that are having their house dance this week end certainly have a good start for their theme. Friday the 13th is supposed to be unlucky, but we have an idea that this weekend everyone will have a mighty fine time. It was advertised this week in the Emerald that Johnny Lewis, Sigma Chi. Order of the “O" prexy. was to play the lead victim in -Bury the Dead." We didn't know he was that good. It seems as though a certain DT . Jim Kilpatrick by name, had a political bet with a young coed on the campus. Jim lost and never paid. On the said date everyone waited for the event. He was to roll a peanut with his nose in front of a certain sorority house. The girls are still waiting. He had better square himself in the near future, or else:
