BRUCE McINTOSH, once pre mier soda-jerker for Joe College's inn, the Side, is known to his pub lic as singer of note, a lover of blarney, and a devotee of the fem inine sex. But now, ladies and what few gentlemen there are on this campus, we present him in a new role that of a poet. This lay of the last minstrel was found tacked to a wall ... the typing was almost accurate and it was evident that the author had given it much thought. BRAVER—By Bruce McIntosh Our father who arc in California, Hollywood lie thy name. The cinemas come, Thy stills lie dumb in Eos An gples as In New Haven. (jive us this day our daily news reel, And forgive us our censorship, As we forgive those who show double features liefore us. Bead us not Into musical come dies. But deliver us from Wild West erns, For thine is the King Kong, the ' Powell, and the Mae West, For ever and ever, ah me! * * # I WENT to last Saturday’s scalp ing because I am a pledge in my house and you do what the upper classmen tell you to do. They told me to buy an ASUO card arid go to the games. So I did and I am. The game was, of course, veddy, veddy fine but the surprise of the afternoon was not the Ducks but the bloomin’ band. They've actual ly learned three new pieces—and what’s more they can play ’em. Added to that they have more members, a new leader, more pep —I’m cheering myself hoarse over !em. All the turn tiddy um turn boys need now is a lialie who has the looks and the ability to get out and drum major for the outfit when they go on parade. Wash ington had one that fairly jerked ’em out of their seats and so have one or two other colleges. Mr. Cornell, how’s for a drum majoress for Oregon? * * * THE SCN SHONE on the new green of Hayward field. The Stan ford Indians were there and the Oregon Ducks ... so was the chan cellor and so was the president. We were all there. The voice in the field address system was giving well deserved words of praise to the Sigmu Nils for their part in the turfing of Hayward. Suddenly his larynx did an outside loop on him and the address system blared out the gratitude the University should feel the “Sigma MOOS” . . . entirely fitting of course, with all that green grass, but the scarce ly-repressed snorts of the audience was hardly reward for all the work the lads did.

(Ore a cm The Oregon Daily Emerald, official student publication of tile University of Oregon, Eugene, pub lished daily during the college year except Sundays, Mondays, htoldays and final examination periods Entered as second-class mail matter at the postoffice, Eugene, Qregon. LEROY MATTINGLY, Editor WALTER R. VERNSTROM, Manager LLOYD TUPLTNG, Managing Editor The University Puts Its Best Foot Forward AIITLV through 1 h <• direct efforts of A I’resident Boyer find partly through a committee lie lias at work to investigate pub lic relations, Governor Martin is going to In* properly welcomed when lie comes to tin* campus to address tin* year s first assembly. Last spring The Emerald indicated the need for such a body. Oregon has been lax, even rudely careless, in the matter of receiv ing its distinguished guests. Of the problems placed in the hands of the committee Dr. Boyer now has at work, one is the formation of a permanent body to administer this deli cate phase of campus hospitality. rJ'MIE program which has been arranged for the governor’s visit is, from advance notices, a well-planned and well-rounded one. Governor Martin is Oregon’s first citizen and his visit to the University campus is to us just jis important an event ;is wji.s l’’raTikiin ]). Roosevelt's brief call to Portland, It is true tliat such a program not only fails in its purpose but acts in reverse fashion *if jit is over-lavish, or insincere, or is not handled with good taste. It is. however, de manded by the same good taste. And, be cause the student body is really interested in outstanding personages like the governor who visit the campus, a welcoming commit tee provides the best opportunity to convey for it that interest. There are going to be other celebrities visiting the campus soon. There r<re also other phases of campus contact with the state which should be developed, but if the presi dent 's committee provides for adequate handl ing of the greeting situation, it will have done the University a worthwhile service. Name Plates for Open House—or Why Have Corns? P ROM th<* dim environs ol a fraternity over on Potter street—Sigma Alpha Mil, to he exact comes a pertinent suggestion for the solution to one of the most pressing problems the campus will face this year -a problem that must be met and solved within the next five days. It must have been .just one of those things, for this solution is evidently the result of in spiration. Fraught, with far-reaching social consequence, the brilliant, answer to a long felt dilemma probably came to light in one of the bull fests for which campus living organizations are famous. Picture that ylrninatic moment. The sub ject of argument there are always argu ments at bull sessions—lias probably been tossed back and forth for long and smoky hours. The topic strays—girls, the Side, col lege ah —Open house! JEW) It the bunion derby, those hours of quick j scene change, quicker girl change, of J tired foot and faces raw from blushing—I Coonskin-Clads Hail New Gridiron Era TTWO years, or even one, ago, the “leads on some 75 or a hundred sports stories written Saturday afternoon would have read something like this: EUGENE, Oct. 2.—(Blaah Features) —Stanford’s touchdown machine almost went aground on a sturdy Oregon defense here this afternoon but rallied in the final quarter to push over a score. The conversion failed. Final score was (i to 0. Undoubtedly the Blaah Feature Service’s star scribe would have found more glowing terms to describe an expected Stanford vic tory. But that was two, or even one, years ago. # # * T AST year The Emerald waxed enthusiastic at the first signs of the coming of open football. The season, of course, went much like other seasons except that Oregon had worse luck than usual. Nobody, with the one “southern’’ exception, scored much on Oregon. As far as the big green team was concerned, 'Webfoot football players were about as far from the average coast confer ence goal line as they were from heaven. Saturday a touchdown - starved student and town crowd got up on their seats and yelled until Hayward field’s none-too-steadv beams did a rumba. For Uoacli Oallison’s boys, and in particular, two of his sopho mores, had .just scored on one of the sweet est pass plays a football magician ever pulled out of his hat. The crowd that went home from that game was tired but enthusiastic. For once an Ore gon team had scored and did not immediately set back and adopt an “I’m tough—come and get me attitude.” If they erred at all in their brilliant baptismal show on the new turf, it was on the Ode of discretion. Of course, one i reason the Ducks pressed the attack was lack of a kicker, but those scrappy pigskin pushers never let up. no matter what the reason. • # # ——• rJ''lllK year, it seems apparent from the scoring, Oregon’s line is not as tough as has been the average lemon and green for ward wall. But, and apparently despite the lack of two great offensive weapons, a strong punter and a crunching fullback, the Web foots are dangerous every time they get their hands on the ball- Oallison’s roster includes several men who are dynamite in the open field and a couple who can toss that elongated apple with a pretty reasonable idea of where it’s going to land. This season already has turned out a big ger success than last. You can tie but you can’t win if you haven’t got the stuff to score. hlusiutig h<*(*aus<* om* <*nnhot i (‘tih'iiiihm pronounce one's own name—is onee more at hand. Picture those lads, sprawled in a close tdrele, tugging at their hair and emitting smothered curses because of the immediacy and significance of the problem suddenly thrust before them. Then suddenly someone, perhaps it was an aw-strncken freshman, suggests a solution—the solution. * *= * '\\7’I1V not wear name plates to open house? Picture the shocked surprise written on those faces, dust like a bomb in Shanghai, only less expected, it has come—the true solu tion. No more long introduction lines, no more fumbling with the lips tor an under standable syllahilization of a difficult sur name. Longer dancing periods as a result, names coupled with faces, and a better time to be had by all. The campus decorum had been saved. The name of that man should go down in Oregon’s hall of pain. Oregon's 1937 football aggregation lias that ability. The games it loses are going to be interesting games; the games it wins are going 1 o be thrillers. All of whieh is going to irritate Oregon fans not a bit. Nor is if going to make Anson 11. Cornell a “pieklepuss” when they add up that column, “gross receipts” at the end of the year. Football is essentially a spectacle and scoring is the number one thrill in that spectacle. That touchdown pass will have plenty of the boys putting their money on the line before the Oregon State game. Sweet-Scented Short Story By JOHN PINK There was once a nice little girl -not too un usual. even in this present day of ours—who thought it would be a very handsome idea to be come well-educated. Little did she know of the danger, the pitfalls that lie on the tortuous, and rocky (not the kind of rocks that have purchasing power! road to higher education. She was very eager to be one of the higher educated, and she figured that this Universitas was just the place she could get that wonderful thing. So. accordingly, having finished high school she arrived in this place of higher education, our college. But before she could expose herself to the elements of higher education there was something she had to do. She had to pretty herself up, \raipse to the various tong-houses on the campus, and make the important decision of what joint she would help pay the mortgage on. She and her mother her gray-haired mother came along, for you see she really was a nice little girl stayed at one of the local hostelries which housed hundreds of other sweet young things, eager to be higher educated. She finally decided upon which joint she would start paying on the mortgage, and the girls who were already paying on the mortgage thought that was fine. She would be in her room at the inn before 10:30 every evening, so as not to draw the wrath of those who make the rules. You see, she was really serious about this higher education. But late one night in this certain be-mort gaged joint, a horrible truth came to light. It had been found out that this nice little girl's father grew garlic for a nation-wide chain of vegetarian restaurants. Horrible. Shameful! The^. could never have this garlic-stained lucre help pay off the mortgage. Eagerly anticipating the swirl of coming higher education, late in the week, with her things all packed to move into this house, this nice little girl was informed that she had been passed up. Stunned by this turn of events, her world of higher education collapsed about her pretty head, and turning to her gray-haired mother she said, “Hell, Ma, let's go home.” And she did, too. Letters Home Our Joe is down at Oregon Where he "wows" them every day He leads his team to victory With a wonderful- one-man-play; He holds the honors in his class With the marks lie gets in school, But when we hear from Mr. Earl, We find he's just a fool. Side Show Edited by . . . PAIX DEUTSCHMANN, National. BILL CUMMINGS, Local. Both factions in the frosh poli tical campaign entered the home stretch of their vote-getting race yesterday #with the two opposing tickets lined up neck and neck, but it appeared that the Bergtholdt bloc would be well out in the lead by election time Wednesday night. Campaign Manager Gleason (Tiger) Payne must have had a busy day Monday, for not only did he select a definite supporting tic ket. for Harrison Bergtholdt, Theta Chi candidate for president, but he distributed a couple of thousand handbills over the campus last night announcing the fact, thus: Harrison Bergtholdt, Theta Chi, president; Ken Erickson, Alpha hall, treasurer; Alice Lyle, Alpha Chi Omega, vice-president; Ann Stevenson, Delta Gamma, secre tary. On the other side of the fence, Campaign Manager Wally Ross mann of the ATO-Beta-Phil Delt bloc made a complete shakedown of his previously announced ticket, lining up a new set of candidates as follows: iirnui ISHUll, OlgllLll < 111, president; Barbara Benham, Hen drieks hall, vice-president; Ann VVaha, Kappa, secretary; Lloyd Sullivan, Chi Psi, treasurer; Bob O’Donnell, Beta, sergeant-at-arms. Most of the 182 class cards, which, so far, represent the total official membership in the class of ’41, seemed last night to be lined up in favor of the Bergtholdt bloc. “Tiger" Payne claimed that the women’s dorms will fall in line with the men’s hall in support of Bergtholdt, despite the fact that Barbara Benham of Hendricks hall is running on the opposing ticket. The combined strength of the men’s and women’s dorms, if the majority of their freshmen buy class cards, is enough to swing any election. And it is rumored that Miss Benham, for this reason, will not draw as many Hendricks votes as Campaign Manager Rossmann thinks she will. Ringleaders of both factions have simultaneously thought up a scheme by which they hope to blast their respective oppositions at the nominating-balloting assembly Wednesday night. It is said that they plan to nominate as many candidates as possible out of the ranks of the respective opposing blocs, with hopes of splitting up the votes. The catch is that these extemporaneously nominated can didates will probably decline, if they are properly coached, as fast as their names are called. Cornish Surveys Wool Manufacture As Eugene Venture An exhaustive survey of the ad vantages of a woolen garment fac tory for Eugene has recently been completed by Professor N. H. Co rnish of the University of Oregon school of business administration, and published in the Register Guard. BARBARA WARD SINGS Barbara Ward, junior from Bur lingame, California, sang the “Star Spangled Banner’’ at the dedica tion of Oregon’s new turf field pre ceding the Stanford game last Sat urday. Miss Ward was recently award ed one of the three Phi Beta schol arships. From Where I SIT Ey CLARE IGOE NEW FACES OF 1937-38 Holder of more amateur swim ming trophies than you can shake a stick at (if that's your idea of fun) is Barbara Baldinger, who entered the University this year as a freshman in journalism. Barbara’s hopes for fame at the 1936 Olym pics in Berlin were blasted because of an operation which kept her from qualifying for the American team, but under the training of her father, she hopes to win laurels in the 1940 Olympics to be held in Tokyo, Japan. * * * The reputation of the University of Oregon journalism school brought Werner Asendorf, German exchange student, from Potsdam, Germany to the Oregon campus to study this year. Asendorf’s educa tion has been almost international in scope, including travel in China, Japan, Canada, and the Philippines, and work at his own university in Berlin. One of the loveliest new faces on the campus belongs to blonde Margery Churchill, and another dis tinctly decorative addition is the dark, striking beauty of Barbara Benham, California’s contribution to Oregon scenery. Appealing is the word of the piquant charm of Genevieve Casey, sister of Kap pa's stately Betty Jane. Anne Waha, brown-haired and brown eyed, has a quiet loveliness. The Nasser twins, Westine and Jeanne, also from California’s sun ny clime, are so pretty that it seems an excellent idea to have two of them just alike. * * # Two freshmen who seem headed for careers as campus politicos are Mike Miller, who was president of the student body at Astoria high school, and Gleason Payne, from The Dalles. Both boys are already active in frosh politics. Don Mabee, McMinnville football star, all-district basketball player, and a promising track star, seems slated as an outstanding athletic leader. Holder of the state prep school pole-vaulting record is freshman Bob Hendershott, from Bend, who besides is a fine end, and played center in the state bas ketball tournament. Leonard Isberg, all-city quarter back from Benson Tech, is anoth er probable star in Oregon’s ath letic firmament. Then there are Earl Sandos and Toivo Piipo, bas keteers from Astoria. One of baseball’s “fair-haired boys” is Gene Spiker, who played for Toledo in the state league this summer. Gene, it seems, is an out fielder, first baseman, pitcher, and besides was one of the league’s leading hitters. Elmer Mallory, a graduate of Junction City high, will probably play baseball for Oregon this year - -also me brudder Pete, who, they say, is a very promising pitcher, and basketball prospect, besides. J. S. Evans Learns Of Mother's Death John Stark Evans, professor of music, and David B. Evans, Eugene attorney, received news of the death on Friday of their mother, Mrs. W. D. Evans of Hampton, Iowa. Mrs. Evans, who visited here often, was the widow of the late chief justice of the supreme court of Iowa.

Morris Inaugurates New Series Over KOAC Dean Victor P. Morris of the business administration school last night opened the business school's winter series of evening “business hour” radio programs over station KOAC at Corvallis. Presented every Monday and Friday evening from 8:15 to 9 o’clock, the program was started last year and was so successful that plans were made to continue it during the 1937-38 year. Corresponding to the “farm hour” program, sponsored t>y the agricultural school, the “business hour” presents information on con ditions, trends, and developments in business, and gives analyses of business problems. Material is gathered from the research find ings in the Oregon school of busi ness administration. Dean Morris, in opening the se ries, gave-a summary of “General War Conditions Throughout the World.” Dr. D. D. Gage will be the main speaker on Friday night’s program. NATIONAL OFFICER HERE Alpha Chi Omega had as a vis itor Mrs. Carl Winsor of Kansas, ane of the national councilors of the sorority. She spent rush week and part of last week here in Eu gene. 1938 Oregana Sets (Continued from pane one) ment that seniors would not have cap and gown photographs in thein^ section this year. Last night Har bert set forth his reasons for the change: “Tthe photographer has always found it difficult to pose a stu dent in a cap and gown in order to do him justice, let alone to flat ter him. Secondly, the trend in college yearbooks is definitely away from the caps and gowns. The 1937 Oregana was marked down several points in its national rating because it continued to use the comber robes. In the third place, students save money by only posing once. They can, by paying a small fee, however, have their pictures taken in the gowns for their personal use.” The natural color pictures for the 1938 Oregana have been taken \ and are now at the office of the ' lithographer in Portland prepara tory to the technical and expensive process to reproduce them on the pages of the publication. The in auguration by Oregon of natural color in Northwest yearbooks is thought to be a big reason for the increase in sales. Mr. Root and Harbert will go to Portland at an early date and make their final choice of type faces, paper, cover material and design and other matters which will guarantee publication of the book on Junior weekend.
