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,

For thine is the King Kong, the

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.

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.

It must have been .just one of those things,

of the bull fests for which campus living

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
