NO BATHS IN MOVIES, SAY AUSTRALIAN CENSORS HOLLYWOOD — The Austral ians bathe, but they don’t like to have it done in such a public place as on the cinema screen. At least that is the opinion of W.

Entered as second-class mall matter at the postoffice, Eugene, Oregon. LEROY MATTINGLY, Editor ^ WALTER R. VERNSTROM, Manager LLOYD TUPLYNG, Managing Editor A Foo on the Rally Committee Tj'LSKWHERE in III'1 columns of this issue ^ .in Oregon alumnus, Ha/ Williams, lias told the story of an old-time Oregon rally. Hill Hayward, trainer extraordinary and track coach, augments this with a definition of Oregon spirit. For the past several years there have been attacks made upon the student body, with varying degrees of justification, for the apparent physical and mental laziness Ore gon students display in place of the sound enthusiasm which they should greet student activities. It must he remembered that, the grass always looks greener when one looks hack on the good old days. It is also possible that, the hounds of enthusiasm and rowdyism over lapped to a considerable extent, it some ol the hair raising stories of the past can he relied upon. # # * |!<’ tlx* present {'•■noration of students on this campus lias ruled out violent and destruc tive conduct, it is to be congratulated, d he general opinion ,however, is that it has not stopped with this worthy reform but has assumed a shell of psuedo - sophistication students being refrained by a sort ot “social fear” from joining in the rallying and yelling which are a fine characteristic of college life. Any demonstration which is not spontan eous on the part of the students is bound to fail. No one person or group can inspire in a student body a pride in its campus, its team, and its standing in every respect as an insti tution if that belief isn’t really there. * There is no reason why that, spirit shouldn’t be there, lying dormant awaiting a chance to spring into life. It. is equally cer tain that if it is, it is usually kept well hid den, tucked away beneath a bushel of false reserve. This can be easily observed by a comparison with the activities of other schools, both larger and smaller, if one does not, wish to accept the oft-voiced opinions of alumni on the matter. Too often a former Oregon man voicing such beliefs is mentally hooted and labeled “rabid old grad.” 'Ol # # # ■yiKITORS to the campus usually voice, if the duration of their stay is long enough to permit, observation, one or both of two opinions. These are: That Oregon’s campus, all in all and with the size of the institution taken into account, is one of the best on the coast; and that the students either don’t realize this or are too tired to say anything about it. It is true that Oregon’s football teams the last couple of years and last year especially were nothing to write home about- It is not true of this year’s aggregation, nor is it, true of Oregon’s baseball, basketball, track, swim ming, and ot her teams. Last Saturday that football team scored 14 points against I'SC Oregon’s first touch downs against Southern Cal in 22 years. That, of course, was in Los Angeles, since the Tro jans arc not eager to risk their scalps in the ! northwest. Over 40,000 people thought enough of Oregon’s team to plunk their money on the line for tickets. Three weekends ago, that team out-fought a tough Stanford aggregation, 7 to fi. * * * J~^II) Oregon tear down the grandstand after that contest? The students marched out as quietly as the dinner line at a deaf and dumb school, didn’t, even feel the urge to shake a goal post. There surely was spirit enough in that crowd, which saw Oregon whip Stanford for the first time, to stir up a pretty good sepen tine and evening rally with perhaps a dance. Somebody was asleep at the switch. It took a long time to kill tin* spirit that made the Oregon and Oregon State game the event it is to the coast and the whole nation today. Coaches of a past regime did their part in impaling it when they refused to take any interest in student rallies and alumni meet ings. Peppery Arise Cornell isn’t that sort of man. If he is approached, lie will gladly at tend and address any rally and see that a plentiful supply of coaching talent is also on hand. (Iranting the spirit was there, it seems Oregon’s white clad rally committee was to blame for tin1 wheezy and lethargic victory “celebration.” # # # JpOR the last two years, that rally committee has been, in the vernacular, lousy. It “sold out” to the Park the night of the Stan ford game—collecting $2b and free admission of members by threatening to (and not) hold a dance. Leader Sam Fort is capable and knows his business. 11 is committee is apparently a good one. These talents, however, seem to be direct ed toward getting together enough money to finance a trip to California. That is not the purpose of tin1 committee and it ought to be discouraged if that is.its aim. At any rate the committee gets another chance, its big one, at homecoming- It should have profited by its experience of the Stan ford game. It should know that card stunts are losing their novelty, that only half of the crowd can appreciate them at all, even if they are done well. A well-planned stunt on the field seems more appropriate. The committee’s big task comes after the game. Win or lose, it’s homecoming and some demonstration and an informal dance is in order. Such a dance should be presented by the committee without any charge. If that is impossible, the admission should hi1 ltept under 2b cents, because any campus orchestra could be paid several times from tickets sold at that low price if the rally If it isn’t, it ought to resign enmasse. committee is efficient enough to “swing” a dance. How to Enjoy Life Though Only a Pledge JjW)R years The Emerald has religiously carried feature stories about the pledges of old Tappa Nil Keg who walked out carry ing the front door, all the fuses, the chapter trophies and the cook’s spare uppers. For years it has littered its columns with the yarn about the poor li'l female pledge who participated in a walk out only to find on her return that her sisters had sewed her bed together, had hidden all her clothes, and finally that she would not be permitted to go out on dates for all of two weeks. All this because she had put one cute little foot in front of the other and had gone away from the old tong. Why this urge to walk out shows itself is hard to explain. The pledges —especially those of male persuasion know that when they return as they must—vengeance awaits them. The old oaken paddle, they are tin pleasantly aware, never lias slept securely on its brackets above the fireplace and the chances are excellent that it will develop a grand ease of insomnia on their return. Hut every year the pledges have fared forth to raise hades, to put a prop under it if time will permit, and to return for the laying on of hands. It has been so universal a stunt that the public grows surfeited with the sameness of it. There is no quarrel with the tradition back of it. It is a grand idea and is fine food for letters home to 111a and pa. Hut we ache for originality, for that extra something which makes the jest the more full-flavored. France started it. General Motors publi cized it, John L. Lewis enjoys it—-why not a sit-down strike- It entails no effort, it nullifies the efforts of the most experienced of paddl ers, and it will be as manna in the wilderness to Oregon. B.P. In the Mail LETS GET ASSOCIAED The social activities provided by the University are not adequate. The average student can attend college four years and graduate without knowing or even having seen or heard of another student who lived, perhaps, not more than two blocks away during the entire time. Our parents, friends and politicians tell us that the social contacts in college are worth as much as the academic train ing . . . but how am I going to meet you, your friends, and your friends' friends, and in turn how are you going to meet me and mine? Cer tainly, not under the existing circumstances, where even though we jostle each other in class, our shglit relationship ends when we pass out the door. Not to any great extent at the spasmodic concerts where I may sit the entire time with only the top of my head apparent above the masses that surround me on the bleachers. There must be some way -some logical way— in which we can become acquainted without being accused of being bold, or of lacking in social courtesies, or of being a breaker of tradition. A "nine o'clock shuffle,” more commonly known as the “Saturday Night Hop” is, I believe, the panacea. The Oregon Normal school at Monmouth, as well as the Oregon State college, utilizes this idea. At the normal school the dance begins at nine every Saturday night and ends-af 12 or 12:30. Side Show Editrd by . . . PAUL DEUTSCHMANN, National. BILL CUMMINGS, Loral. I Campus After two year3 of separation, house managers of the campus are banding together again with the old cry, “No taxation without rep resentation.” In other words, Mr. Fraternity Member desires a voice in matters pertaining to his pock et book. The organization, composed of every house manager on the cam pus, is headed by Chairman Mel Rooney, Sigma Chi, who plans to call a committee meeting today for the purpose of drawing up a constitution and a set o fby-laws. The intention is to make the or ganization a permanent one. * * * The immediate rason for the sudden reorganization of the once influential campus body was the homecoming luncheon which was to have been held Saturday noon. Arguing htat an assessment of 25 cents per head was unpopular among fraternity members, and that the luncheon would deprive fraternities of a chance to enter tain returning alumni, the house managers brought about the can cellation of the luncheon. This was a blow to the homecoming direc torate, but the weekend program includes so many other events that cancellation of the luncheon will probably make little difference in the success of homecoming. The house managers’ group will function parallel to the interfra ternity council, and will meet regu larly for the purpose of discussing such assessments as will be made on fraternities throughout the year. This will eliminate the possibility of fraternity members being "touched” for donations without having a voice in the matter. Those in charge of any affair calling for donations will simply consult the house managers’ organization on the desirability of asking the houses for funds. Whether the^ body will conflict with the functions of the interfra ternity council is a question an swerable only by trial. Presidents of the houses usually’ have the final say-so in matters such as donations, and although the opin ions of house managers probably are more matter-of-fact, the house managers’ council may prove to be a source of irritation to the inter fraternity council. Or, it may assume full responsibility for the fraternities, taking money worries entirely out of the hands of the house presidents’ organization. National Tuesday evening of this week one of the outstanding Republicans of the country, none other than Alf (Maine and Vermont) Landon, ad dressed his 17,000,000 cohorts and pointed out what is wrong with the Democratic administration and what it should do in the coming special session to rectify a few of its many mistakes. With 5000 words of friendly criticism he shook a Republican finger at the unemployment situa tion, the NRA, relief, the proposed wages and hours law, Hugo Black, the social security act, and so on until the radio technicians had to cut him off for taking too much time. There is no arguing with Mr. Landon or with his 17,000,000 stand-bys that the New Deal is as full of holes as good Swiss cheese. Mistakes do exist, they will proba bly go on, and something must be done. We might point out that in spite of holes there is a lot of excellent material in both the new deal and Swiss cheese. But what did Mr. Landon sug gest ? He suggested drafting needed legislation through com missions of learned experts after Music — first by a battered, lid less piano, and later by a fair stu dent band -made the echoes ring in the old gym. Some danced, some stumbled, some walked, some watched—but after two or three weekly dances the frigidity of rug ged-individualism gave way to the warmth of fraternity and fellow ship. Everyone became acquainted with everyone else—knew them not as somebody "in my geology class," but as Johnny, Jane, and Mable. Can't we have the same thing on this campus? Think it over— it's a big time — free — with the chance to meet that cute gal in the Alpha Delt house ... or that A TO. If you are in favor of it. we ear. start the ball rolling today—tell your friends and have them tell their friends. Let's get associated! PAUL P. STEWART, h lengthy investigation. The success □f this system under Hoovef was negligible. Remember the commis sions that investigated for months, turned in lengthy reports, and left ts knowing nothing except how bad it all was ? It must be admitted that they were all very constitu tional, but also that their batting average justified dropping them from the administrative team. Landon’s speech, besides being a warning to one and all, has various political significances. Whether he meant to or not, the “Kansas Coolidge” assumed the moral lead ership of the befogged Republican party when he spoke on the basis of letters from thousand|. of his friends “earnestly inquiring why I riave remained silent so long. But will the GOP elephant be satisfied with a leader whose only policy is anti-FDR? Since not enough of them were satisfied in 1936, the logical conclusion is that Landon has failed to learn any thing from his terrific drubbing at the polls. Move the scene to 1940. The Re publicans will have clung to po litical life for eight years on a neg ative policy. In 1940 they must come out of the rain and find an issue. What kind of a campaign can they propose that will bring together the ossified old guard and the progressives? They will have small satisfac tion that the Democrats will be split into new dealers and anti new dealers. Roosevelt would have a strong hold on one rein at least (unless he chooses to run) of con trol from the back room. Personally, we would suggest that It is going to be a good year for the Socialists. Gamma Net Squad (Continued front page two) this afternoon at 4 o’clock on the courts. Cardinal, though hampered by a sore shoulder, dropped Lewis Cole man, Zeta’s top raking singles man, 8-1, 6-3. Engelke and Moe had quite a bit of trouble before downing Bob Fairfield and Lee Reynolds. The Gamma boys dropped the first set 4-6, then came back to eke out 7-5 and 6-4 wins. Art Grobe and Burton Dake, Zeta’s number two doubles team, likewise took the first set, but they collapsed in the last two, losing them, 6-1, 6-2. Williams Longs (Continued from page one) phone poles driven into the ground to prevent the pile from toppling over. During this time the University and the townspeople were such good friends that all business es tablishments closed down on the day of a game and all the towns people attended every game and rally. Another forgotten custom was that everyone spoke to each other, regardless of introductions and a better feeling was created with the townspeople and students alike. Williams stated that around the year 1924, traditions were lost, and that it was due to the influence of coaches. McEwan and Spear, who did not think that they were im portant to a college team. Little did they realize that a team with out traditions, and the loyalty and pep that follows in their stead, will not get very far as they go to building up a spirit that is al ways needed for Oregon men fight ing on an Oregon field. In the old days there was no public address system and students gathered closely around the plat form where campus professors, football players, and alumni would tell of the outlook on the coming game. Bill Hayward was called on at all rallies, and his speech was always followed by the yell, “Long may she wave.” This yell signified a tribute to his long stay on the campus and the feeling that has from this day onward been carried on by all those who know and love the colonel. At the conclusion of the rally, everyone went to their respective fraternity houses and since the members of the team also stayed there, in respect to them, quiet was the rule of the campus. During this weekend there were no dates until the Saturday night campus dance, as the primary purpose was to entertain and honor the alumni. Following the big game, the dance was held that night and at its conclusion all fraternities and sororities held big bull fests, put on smokers, and swapped yarns as entertainment for their alumni. All beds were given up with active members sleeping on the floor, but it was made a real welcoming for the alumni. Reminiscing, Baz Williams told the story of Alibi Bigby, a mem ber of Phi Delta Theta when it was located just back of Taylors, now the men's co-op. Bigby, one of the most famous football play ers of his time, came back several years after his graduation for omecoming. In the meantime the Phi Belts had moved out and the Newman's club, a group of Catho lic girls had taken residence there. Expecting a warm reception from the brothers, he strolled up the steps and heaved his suitcase through the door but was met with absolute quiet. Alibi immediately let out a string of oaths that any good golfer would be proud of, and the embarrassment that followed is still a favorite campus story. This homecoming is lauded as the greatest since that great day when campus custum and alumni were honored as the year's big event.

Terse Tales FOB TINY TOTS Or stories for the young col lege students — literary efforts from nowhere about anywhere. lIl!ltlllIlllIllllllllll!llllllllIllll!lHllIll!l1ftllllllllllnllll!I!llnlll!lllllmllllllllll!llll||l,ll,l, By MORITZ THOMSEN He taught in a small girl’s col lege before he was given his posi tion here, but he really knew his stuff about his field—psychology. He could analyze all of the emo tions, and he could tell by looking at a college student, all the sins that he had committed. He taught^ a course in mob reaction, and an alyzed the whole workings of mob psychology. He snarled and raged at the class about the hypnotism of the masses, and said that only a few strong minds could resist it. He made it quite clear that he was strong enough to withstand the rule of the mob, and was really quite proud of the fact. One day he went to a football game. He took a seat in the back row where he could look down on the people and the players. He sat there very aloof, and he was glad that he was not being taken in by the hysteria that seized the crowd. During an exciting play he dis covered that he was standing in his seat screaming very obscene things about the other side. He was very embarrassed, and he sat down very quietly while everyone turned around to glare at him. During the half he stood while they played “Mighty Oregon,” not because he felt loyal, but because he didn’t want to be conspicuous. In the middle of the song, he looked down at his nose and found great tears dripping off the end. He had never felt so silly. He finally had to leave the sta dium when he tore the hats off everybody within three feet of him, and began screaming in genuine hysteria. The next day he resigned from the psychology department and put in an application for a position as football coach. They turned ins petition down, however, and gave him a job as cheer leader. He en joyed the job very much, was giv en a “block O’’ and lived to ripe old age. See you at the game Saturday. Your last opportunity to secure your < < Fall Fashioned ASUO Card at a real saving.
