PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON Fred W. Colvig. editor Walter R. Vernstrom, manager LeRoy Mattingly, managing editor Desk Staff This Issue Day executive: Virginia Endlcott Day editor: Clare Igoe Assistant day editors: Beulah Chapman Lew Evans Night editors: Frank Nickerson Bob Knox Night Staff This Issue Assistants: Betty Ann Miller Nix On Barbarism “"LIANG your clothes oil a hickory limb, but don’t go near the water.” That pretty nearly expresses our advice to Corvallis-bound Webfeet, at least so tar as manifestations of school spirit are concerned. ' Cheer, cheer, please cheer deliriously while Bjork and the boys bait the Beaver, but when we've won the game—we hope—let s show the humbled men of the Orange our sports manship. If we lose — heaven forbid — let s show the staters we can take it. In either case let us not permit our spirit of rivalry to express itself in the vandalism that has marred our relations with the college in times past. There was a time when the orangomen thought the proper display of school spirit meant painting the Pioneer and dynamiting the concrete “0” on Skinner's butte and when the Webfeet Miought Corvallis streets must run with lemon and green paint if the big game were to be fittingly celebrated. Those were the dear old days. * ■» # rjpODAY, although sonic mile ol‘ paint has been spread by the more irrepressible st.u dents without official censure, the towns people of Eugene and Corvallis and the ad ministrations of the two institutions frown upon such effusions of spirit. Last year, owing largely to a friendly visit to Eugene by Jack (Irabam, OSO student body president, a truce on vandalism was arranged, and the big game came off without any mater ial damage either to the properties of the two schools or to their respective spirits. Dr. Boyer, who admittedly raised as much hell as the next lad in his undergraduate days, pointed out before the Reaver-Duck clash last year the change in public opinion of inter scholastic vandalism. “We can’t stop a lot of underclass barbarism,” be declared, “but let us do our best. A savage demonstration will destroy the good will which marks our present relations. I am going to be sitting next to President Peavy at the game, but I am not going to turn around and swat him— just as at a banquet I wouldn’t pull on the 1 a Idee lot 11 a in I turn the gravy over in his lap.” Campus Comment; (The views aired in this column arc not necessarily expressive of Emerald policy. Communications should be kept within a limit of 250 words. Courteous restraint should j be observed in reference to personalities. No unsigned letters will be accepted.) WHOLE HOG OR NONE To the Editor: A raise in pay for Orval Hopkins, who at last has blurted out the truth about femi nine knees! How many mute inglorious males have felt the urge to say the same thing, even if they had to start a column to do it ? Where the women got the idea that a pair of corn-grater knees have sex appeal, I can't imagine. First the side-pslitting skirt made its debut, pre sumably to tantalize the wary male; then came the knee-action ha'f sock which served only to widen the breech; and now, (shades of Hezekiah!), our sophisticated feminine friends are tripping about with Uncle Hiram’s winter overshoes done in green suede. Now I’m no puritanical fanatic, scandalized with the immodesty of it all. I'm merely commenting on the lovely half-undone effect it produces—like little Junior wandering around with the seat of his pajamas flapping. If you women want more leg room, cut off the skirts. Go as far as you like. And if you don’t like stockings, take ’em off or wear anklets. But for heaven’s sake declare your selves and be done with this mongrel style of ex posure! All or none—none or all! Freed Bales SWEEPSTAKESITIS To the Editor: If your Mr. Pollock doesn’t stop panning the Hit Parade I'll be forced to do some thing drastic. The orchestra is not "lousy,” and the vocalists are not only “not bad” but pretty good. I” admit the "Sweepstakesitis” would get on anybody’s nerves, but no more so than the adver tising schemes of several cth:r radio programs I could name but won't. So lay off my pet program, please. Ellen Wachtel MOLDY MALES, TOO Bob Powell. Granted that coeds have lost their individualism, as propounded in your article "The Coed Mold,” in yesterday's Emerald. But as the coeds are moldy, even so are the males. Haven't you noticed ? A case comes to mind. I knew a freshman last year who came here with a store of affectations, trite jokes, and a stubbornnes of will that would let him bow down to no upperclassmen. This is another year. The freshman is now a sophomore, quiet, polite, courteous, thoughtful, and will even obey reasonable commands. It happens to most of ’em. Is it, however, a change for the bad ? You’d have to prove that, Bob. You see, when these nicely-molded college youth enter the outside world they aren't going to be stereotyped. Swimming amongst a preponderate population of comparatively uneducated people, they are then going to be the individualists. The others will be conforming to the mold, we will be strange fish or fowl. Other people will be quarreling, masquerading, making snap judgments, doing the many foolish things tha two have learned to avoid. Then we will be pointed out because of that quiet, calm quality so rare outside a university. Howard Kessler Men & Nations By HOWARD KESSLER Thin talk of n general war be tween fascists and communists. ROOKY! To make a war, eneii side must be convinced that it is going to win. Al’ Foreign Correspondent John nie Evans wrote yesterday that “Fascists and communists are coming to grips in their struggle for world power. Spain is the first battlefield, but other nations are lining up in what may end in a general war.” The “may” was all Dial saved Mr. Evans from making of himself a third-string prophet. A Jersey milch cow "may" attack a raging bull. Couple of weeks ago 1 thought to write a little article on a mock feet shall battle between fascist and communist powers. Each One a Star Starting out with Hitler anti Sta lin at quarterback, the teams looked good. For the fascist start ing line-up there were Mussolini. Franco, Carmona, Beck. Schuss nigg, Mustapha Rental, anti a few other triple-threat men with starry records behind them as crushing ball-carriers. Font the communists there was . . . Stalin. With considerable doubt I squeezed in Blum to keep company with Djugushvili. That's as far as my conscience would take me. Now admitting that Stalin is a cracking good ball-carrier, punter, passer and blocker, it is asking too much even of him to expect consistent gains against eleven bruising taeklers. L’il Abner has Ahijali, Stalin lias to go it alone. Yesterday I predicted a fascist France. Johnnie Evans seconded that. How this esteemed f.e. can foresee a faseist-eommunist wai with France on the fascist side is, well, puzzling. ISo (wood Fight Isolate Germany and Russia and sic ’em at each other. I'll stack my chips on Germany. Then how is Muss going to get a workout, not to mention Frankie, Kemal. Carmona, Beck, etc.? Be mighty disappointing for the boys to get their guns nicely greased and then find that the fighting is all over. Thus far England has remained discreetly impartial, but the lean ing has been toward the fascist nations. 'England Will do her ut most to avoid a war, and if that includes going fascist, England will join the fascists. France is in much the same po sition. The French hate to think of another war. They abhor the dirt, the struggle, the decay and disease that must follow. France will welcome fascism if it means peace. Russia itself doesn't want war. I Bolshevism is built on a promise of peace, and without the assured backing of at least Britain and France, Stalin will stay quietly at home. Then where can you see a fas cist-communist scrap? Vou can’t. Forget it. The nest war will he an impe rialist war, just as most past ones. Is that a new thought for you ? By BOB POLLOCK Like Landon, who had 80 per cent of the papers of the country for him, we don't thing a heck of a lot about the fearful power of the press. For three days we've ballyhooed our boistrous personal ity and begged for a ride for only a lousy 40 miles. Today we sit here, saddened, alone except for the Chi Omegas who staying home to study, and utterly embittered with this cockeyed world. A curse upon you all . . . we shall sit at home with a can of orange and black paint and root for the Bea vers. f er Out... In our brash innocence, we shouted some editions ago that television was just around the corner . . . comes today public ity which says we are right but the corner is five years away. At present, television sets cost from $200 to $1000 to build and are usually obsolete inside of six months . . . Cable for network broadcast costs $5000 a mile, and a television station calls for about $250,000 worth of U. S. * literature. So, if you’d like to get a look at the Tuner Out, send a stamped self-addressed envelope with a five-spot, and don’t wait for television. Harold Burdick, the guy who Has our vote as a first class actor, is writing a new serial, “Dr. Kate’’ which you’ll hear over KEX Thurs days at 8 . . . starts December 10. All about a woman doc. If it’s as good as his “Do You Believe in Ghosts,” and “Night Editor,” it might be worth hearihg. Where Rosy goes, there goes NBC . . . Clear to Buenos Aires for the Pan-Amerlean Peace con ference, this time. First broad cast is Monday from 8:15 to 8:30 on REX . . . you’ll hear ’em at intervals until the thing ends on December 18, And we’ll still buy battleships, so don't count on it. Now our prognostication . . . older and wiser heads than ours keep ’em out of the noose . . . but we’re a noose-paperman anyway.. ..so here it is: Oregon 7, Oregon State, 14. Call for Phillip Morris!

Briton Censor (Continued from page one) Pierce Arrow phaeton stopped the whole San Francisco Bay bridge celebration, early Saturday morn ing. They not only stopped the first car to have a flat tire on the new bridge. The boys did not see four new white buttons that rose up out of the road and struck the tires. After quickly changing the ' tire the motor developed a dead battery, and was not started until after a raving cop had pushed the phaeton off the driving lane.

MCDONALD: “Libeled Lady” and “Down the Stretch.” REX: “Poor Little Rich Girl” and “It’s Love Again.” STATE: “Custer’s Last Stand” and “Dracula’s Daughter.” MAYFLOWER : “The Big Game” and Yellowstone.” “Libeled Lady” with one of the best casts since “Dinner at Eight” finds Jean Harlow, Myrna Loy, William Powell, and Spencer Tracy in the starring roles at the McDon ald. An intriguing story of a libel suit against a newspaper for slan der against a young heiress, the film contains one of the longest kisses screened since the days of the silent picture. For those ro mantic souls desiring further par ticulars, Spencer Tracy kisses Jean Harlow for sixty seconds and goes through 5400 celluloid phrames of film. At Tracy’s requist, the scene is repeated several times! “Down the Stretch,” a horse-racing pic ture, stars Patricia Ellis, Mickey Rooney, and Dennis Moore. * H* * “The Man I Marry," bringing Doris Nolan, a brilliant new sun burst of beauty, to the screen in her first motion picture, a swiftly paced comedy, relating the adven tures of a girl running away on the eve of her wedding in order to escape marrying a society snob. She meets a budding playwright and helps him in having his works accepted. Michael Whalen plays the role of the young playwright. Today only, Major Bowes’ ama teurs appear for five complete shows. * * * “Poor Little Rich Girl” with Shirley Temple at the Rex. Gloria Stuart and Alice Faye support her in a show that is very well done, but not quite as good as some of her previous efforts. "It’s Love Again,” one of the best Brit ish pictures seen in this country for quite some time, features the popular singing-dancing star Jessie Mathews. At the State for the last times today are “Custer’s Last Stand” and “Dracula’s Daughter,” both thrillers. The Custer picture is about the life of the immortal hero who died fighting the warring Sioux Indians. “Dracula’s Daugh ter” is another vampire film. “Yellowstone” for those who like mystery pictures, and “The Big Game” for those desirous of a little action on the football field, are the features at the Mayflower. The latter picture has many of the all-American football players of last year in the cast. has as assistants in the campaign Blanche Moore, Rita Wright, Jean Farrens, Harold Hahn, Margaret Jossy, and Robert Hoculi. mmmmWwftm The Oregon Daily Emera4d, official student publication of the University. of Oregon, Eugene, published daily during the college year exvept Sundays, Mon days, holidays, examination periods, tne fifth day of December to January 4, except January 4 to 12, annd March 5 to March 22, March 22 to March 30.

Pioneer’s Beard Painted Orange By Busy Beavers "I will look unto the hills . . . ” Whoa, now, thought Webfeet yesterday when they looked at the concrete “O” on Skinner’s butte—it was painted a brilliant orange. Under the cover of fog a band of raiders from OSC had done their work unseen, un punished. It was not the only bit of paint-throwing diablerie, for yes terday morning the beard of Oregon's venerable Pioneer was tinged with the Beaver orange. On the senior bench mysterious ly appeared the words, “Anoth er Associated Service,” painted in freshman green, but reported ly the work of State pranksters. And in numerous spots along campus byways were written the bright ocre letters, “OSC.” Webfoot partisans have been notably innocent of vandalism this year, although, as if by magic, the initials, “UO,” in black paint have written them selves in different places on the Corvallis campus. Dr. Bakkum Will Speak To Alpha Kappa Delta Dr. Glen Bakkum, of Oregon State College, will be the speaker at the next meeting of Alpha Kap pa Delta, the sociology honorary, November 24 at 7:30 in the men’s lounge of Gerlinger hall.
