Tlint message was shouted, blared, screamed, whistled, tooted, and burned all over town last night in the maddest, merriest and most magnificent Homecoming rally Iho campus has seen for years. The crazy, jubilant spirit of Webfoot rooters was impos sible to stem. The noise parade floats blew their whistles and beat their saws far beyond the regular route. The flaming O on Skinners butte flared across the valley and the frosli bonfire answered from out of the mud flats of the Amazon. J^EST feature of the rally in the opinion of many was the spiffy drum mayoresses, borrowed by some inspired Web foot. from the American Legion. The girls twirled a couple of mean batons, all but outshining Oregon’s own fire-slick artist, Les 1 larger. Humor that 1 he rally committee was making attempts to enroll them at Oregon could not be cheeked, but the story provoked thoughts in the minds of many. The question of a drum mayoress which came to such an untimely end last year, has been bruited about continuously, whenever people get together to talk about what's wrong with Oregon. In musing on things in general.it would seem to be an opportune time to start something again. # # # # ^JETTING back to the general spirit of Homecoming, the roaming reporter found a grand comradeship be tween alums and students. They were all good fellows to gether, and most important, all good Webfoots. The in describable psychology of Homecoming broke down the re serves of old and young alike, b'rom tin* deafened Eugeneans who lined Willamette street to the exuberant high school kids who waded in the mud around the bonfire, everyone was having a roaring time. Yes indeed, Oregon is going places. A Problem in the Midst of Fun JX TIIK groat festive furor that is Homecoming tlio moro serious aspects of' college life are all hut. forgotten. The fact flint grave problems confront the University slip into the background. The rapidly growing enrollment of Oregon which lias brought almost 50 per rent of increase since 1900 is looked upon as just another indication of the revival in spirit, the materialixation of the “going places” idea, much of which has been accomplished by the alumni themselves. However, with this enrollment increase has necessarily come a difficult situation brought about by lack of funds. The lack is vividly portrayed by statistics which show that the cost per student at 1he University is nearly 10 per cent below the average of other leading universities. Understand ing comes when it is shown that higher education in Oregon is limping along at Sf> per cent of 1020 funds, while other state appropriations are 24 per cent above their level in 1he same year. It is indicated when people become aware of the fact that salary restorations from depression cuts for employees of the state system are in danger of disappearing unless supplementary funds are allotted. -* * * * rJ''TTTS afternoon alumni gather in Johnson hall at 2 o’clock for their brief business session. We do not ask that they lilan aggressive action or widespread campaigns. We merely ask them to note our plight, realize its seriousness, and leave this week-end of frolic with the intent to think about it. And after they have thought about it, we ask them to talk about it—to let the people of Oregon know that this serious financial condition stands in the way of higher education and the University. We ask them in the name of education and the I Diversity. We ask them in the name of education and all it has meant to them and will mean to the University students of the future. When they have helped us in carrying this message to those who have the power to aid, wo will all be able to join in saying that Oregon is going places, with the added realiza tion that accomplishment can continue. I Round n' About... WITH WEN BROOKS Sometimes wonder whether the returning grads and former students get as much kick out of Homecoming as the students do themselves. At any rate, it's an exciting weekend for all par ties concerned. * * » Clayton Sheldon spent an un comfortable two hours yester day afternoon when fellow Sig ma ('his put that hoy in the “stocks” in front of the College Kemal Ataturk’s Life Story in Anecdotes Graphic Review of Long, Colorful Career As Soldier, Bluffer, Teacher, Dictator By HOWARD KESSLER Anecdotes are to biography what strawberry jam is to a slice of bread. They heighten the enjoyment without detracting from the nourish" ment of the whole. This, we remember with par ticular relish the stories of George Washington and the cherry tree, Ben Franklin and his kite, Abraham Lincoln and the pig caught in the fence, or James Watt and the tea kettle. The career of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, best of the present crop of dictators, is not without a number of anecdotes, and, as with most biograph ical subjects, they highlight the essential character of the man better than a formal description of his qualities can possibly do. For this third and last article on the dictator of Turkey, who spitfully refuses to die, though an AP correspondent wrote two weeks ago that he had at most a few hours to live, I shall attempt an anecdotal biography of Kemal. But first an introductory statement. A Couple of Young Dictators • Kemal was born in Salonika, now a city of Greece, the son, like Hitler, of a petty government official. His father, like Hitler’s, died when he was a youngster, and the boy loved his mother pas sionately, again like Hitler. The young Turk at tended a military school, graduating as a captain from the General Staff college in Constantinople! This was in 1905, when Kemal was 24 years old. As a student, and later as an officer, he ha rangued his fellows to revolt against the Sultan, and to keep Turkey for the Turks. When police caught him leading a secret society, he was sent to Damascus to join his regiment and fight the Druses. He continued his work of incitation, and was pursued by police again. For a year he lay low in Salonika. In 1911 the Turks became engaged in war with Italy over Tripoli, in North Africa. Mustafa Kemal, with two friends, went overland to reach the scene of battle, but they were stopped at the Egyptian frontier by English sentries, who had orders to keep them from crossing Egypt. Mustafa dressed himself as an Arab and approached the border. His disguise was easily penetrated, how ever, by the Egyptian guard. The sentry’s sym pathies were all with his fellow moslems. the Turks, against the English and Italians, but he could not completely ignore his orders to appre hend Mustafa, whose description had been sent him. So he arrested another passenger on the same train, who had blue eyes, and sent Kemal on his way. You Can’t Scare a Ivcmal Mustafa followed his North African experience with another war in the Balkans, and then, in 1915, became troop commander under General Liman von Sanders at the Dardanelles. There he made his reputation, as a dauntless leader and brilliant tactician. "On one occasion," writes H. C. Armstrong in “Gray Wolf," "he was sitting outside a new trench. An English battery opened fire on it. As the guns found the range, the shells fell closer and closer: it was a mathematical certainty that he must be hit. His staff begged him to take cover. ‘No,’ he said, ‘to take cover now would be a bad example to my men.’ Lighting a cigarette he smoked it steadily, talking calmly and unconcern edly while the men from the safety of the trench below looked up fascinated, watching him. The enemy guns switched to another target. Though covered with the dust of the shell bursts, Mustafa Kemal was not touched.” Kemal has been given most of the credit for holding the Dardanelles from the Australians. It was his genius that probably prolonged the war for two years. I'll Bo Seeing You From 1919 to 1922 were a busy three years for Kemal, driving out the Allies and Greeks from Smyrna, Syria and Constantinople. In 1922, after the successful Turkish attack on Afyon-Kara liissar, the foreign consuls in Smyrna had sug gested to Mustafa Kemal a conference to arrange a suitable peace. His reply was that on a certain day he would meet them at Nif. This town was fur behind the line of the retreating Greeks, so the consuls thought the Turkish reply was sheer non sense. But Mustafa Kemal occupied Nif the exact day that He had predicted to the consuls. Septem ber 9. This sidelight on Kemal's self-confidence is taken from "A Year's Embassy to Mustafa tvt'mm, Dy Charles H. Sherrill. At one time during the '20's, Mussolini coveted Smyrna. Kemal is supposed to have told him that Italy could have territroy in Anatolia if he would send an army there . . . "six feet of earth for every Italian soldier.” This on the word of Henry C. Wolfe in "The German Octopus.” One of Kemal s greatest feats is described by H. E. Wortham in “Mustafa Kemal of Turkey.” "When Kemal recounted the history of the Na tionalist movement to the newly-elected deputies of the People’s Party in 1927. There he made the longest speech of his career, probably the longest in the history,of the world, for it lasted thirty-six hours and thirty-three minutes. During the whole of a workday week he spoke six hours a day." Building a Sea to Scale As he grew older in dictatorship. Kemal lost some of his simplicity. Finding a shortage of water on his farm one day. he demanded a reservoir be lM!l1' on iin- place. What kind of reservoir? "A reservoir modeled to scale of the Sea of Marmora ” he ordered, "and see that the scale is exactly correct.” When Turkey adopted the Latin alphabet Kemal himself travelled about the country as schoolmaster, with a blackboard and plentiful supply of chalk. He was the first man in Turkey to wear European hats instead of the fez. When he introduced the fox trot to Turkey, he staged a great ball, at which he instructed buxom Turk ish ladies the technique of ballroom dancing. He was the first Turk to pose for a statue of himself, violating a sacred Mohammedan law. Mustafa Kemal led the way. 'there you have Kemal Ataturk.

SIDE SHOW Edited by . . , JIM BRINTON By JTM BRINTON One of the measures on the general election ballot will be the “Amendment Repealing the Double Liability of Stockhold ers in Banking Corporations.” Under the present provision of the state constitution each stockholder in a bank is liable to the depositors to the amount of the par value of his stock. The amendment seeks to re move this from the constitu tion. Since depositors in banks are now protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation there is no need for carrying this provision in the constitu tion. The recommendations of the state banking commission and the insurance corporation are in favor of the amend ment’s passage. Sponsored by a group called the Anti-Liquor League of Ore gon, the “Bill Regulating Sale of Alcoholic Liquor for Bever age Purposes,” would place re tail sales of beer and wine in Oregon Liquor Control commis sion stores. Permits would be required for purchase of these. The commission would be for bidden to issue a permit to an applicant if any of his imme diate family protested. Anyone sustaining damage caused by a person under liquor influence would have .right of action against the commission. Driv er's and liquor licenses could be revoked if an individual caused injury contributed' to by liquor. The question arises whether the present sale of beer and wine by private individuals has been satisfactory or not. There have been numerous abuses of retail licenses, such as selling beer or wine to intoxicated per sons, selling after hours, or sell ing to minors. However, it should be pointed out that such abuses are under the full control of the commis-' sion which can revoke a retail license at any time. Beer par lors and wine stores can be closed up in this manner if they do not toe the mark. This part of the present law needs no change; it is adequate to regu late sale of beer and wine. Preventing the issuing of a license to an individual by mere protest of another member of the family doesn’t seem wise. Any family quarrel might re sult in one party getting his liquor license revoked. Now comes the part that is most obnoxious to those oppos ing the bill. The liquor com mission would become the de fendant in any number of civil suits. The drunken person should be wholly liable for his actions while tinder the influ ence of liquor without shifting the liability to the seller. There seems to be no purpose to this part of the measure except to work a hardship on the com mission. Conditions under the Knox law in Oregon are quite satis- j factory. It would be unwise to adopt a measure like the one proposed—one that would bring on new troubles without curing any of the old.
