Exceptional, as Bands Go
have learned a lot in this ruckus over
the band. 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.

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.

rjpHE time has come when I must
unburden myself of a few thou
sand gripes and first on the list
are those who will say, "Who
cares about your gripes?” Maybe
I should keep them to myself, but
Mussolini doesn't, so why should
I?
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."

Discussion of Revels
Is Up Before Yeomen
Whether to have the annual all
campus “Christmas Revels" or a
special dance will be decided by
the Yeomen, independent men's or
ganization, at a meeting Monday
evening at 7 o'clock in alumni
room in Gerlinger hall.
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. Center will be divided as
usual between Vernon Moore and
Ed Farrar.
John Yerby, pass-receiving sen
sation, is a sure starter at left end,
and on the opposite flank will be
blond Hank Nilsen.
Big gun in California's attack is
Morris (Mushy) Pollock, feather
weight left halfback. Pollock
weighs 145 pounds and runs wild
in every game. Sam Chapman is
another Bear Backfield ace certain
to have double doses of trouble
stored up for the Webfoots.
Stub Allison usually has a tough
line, and this year's forward wall
is no exception. Bob Herwig, big
center, is an all-American candi
date.

NOTES FOR A COED’S
The GRAY coat with
GRAY fur! Paris took to
the idea on sight. It’s a
young fashion—striking and
alive! 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. HEIDELS.

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:
