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.”

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!

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.

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!

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.

Blanche Moore, Rita Wright, Jean

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.
