Round 7n About... WITH WEN BROOKS Certainly are a lot of folks who go through life fooling them selves. As long as they can get away with it, OK . . . but some times these people are brought down to earth with a bang and the subsequent disillusionment is hard to take. * * Sl I suppose all of us fool our selves, are living an act, part of the time . . . makes for va riety . . . but too much of it makes for falseness'and insta bility of character. * * % After all, what is a person as far as the world is con cerned but a name? Your name stands for what you have or haven’t done. You are recog nized and known by your name. You may have wonderful ideas, ambitions . . . but if you keep them to yourself and never try to realize any of these you’ll never be known for any of them. Ask yourself: what am I to date? Analyze your ac tions once in a while. Doing this while you are still in col lege may make a lot of differ ence in the final outcome . . . what you are when you’re through school. Enough of that for now. As a prognosticator I’m a failure. I said that one dog, the Chi I’si dog, wouldn’t he on the campus after Sunday. Huron’s still around. Ken Miller, who came up from California last week, end to get Baron, returned Sunday without his dog. Baron was nowhere to he found when Ken had to leave. Innocent brothers knew nothing of the dog’s whereabouts. Now that Ken’s back in California you might ask Fred Miller where Baron was Sunday night. # # * This ’n that: Frank Meek stranded in San Francisco last weekend after missing his train. Rumors have him seeking a personal attendant before lie takes another trip south . . . Jens Hansen maybe is and may be isn’t. Even has cupid won dering . . . And the Kappa Sigs had some trouble witli the Chi O door Sunday night, knocking it right out of its casing. The Pomeroy pin-planting was be ing celebrated rather late, I’d say . . . And Bob “Smoky” Whitfield with a “racket” com plex . . . And rinse your eyes sometime on the Emerald city editor’s technique as he corners some unsuspecting coed in the shack and proceeds to close in, slowly unfolding all the glamor of the news game. And do the girls go for it! Well, ask Bud “Wolf” Jermain. Students kick at times about the Emerald with such remarks as, “There’s not a thing' in it but advertising,” which fact is occasionally almost true. It might be well to understand a little more about the set-up. This year, under the efficient managing of Hal Huener, the paper is in a better way finan cially than it’s been for some time. The business stair is well, organized and doing a good job . . . hence all the advertising. The advertising is what makes possible the publication of the paper. Any extra money goes into a general fund for the ASIJO, helping promote other student, activities . . . programs for us, the students. Who's kicking? # * * Did you know that Mrs. Fleming, president Erb’s secre tary, has served in the capacity of president's secretary for nine years? That President Erb, as well as other members of the administration and faculty, pre fer to be addressed as "Mister” though many of them have their doctor’s degrees ... an old custom on the campus? That construction on Deady hall begun in May of 1873? * * * OSC SPORES AtJAIN! Stu dents at Corvallis have won out in their fight for a drum mn jorcss and once again the ques tion has arisen on this campus: why not a coed leading tin* band at Oregon? Might make Eugene Mattress & Upholstering ■ Company i 1122 Olive Phone 812 some of flic hoys march with more snap if a high-stepping rl were at the front! Friday night Oregon students will have a chance to mix with “staters” in Portland at a dance at Jantzen beach. Binford playing. *!• !? * Batest news from the love front lias Henry ('amp at last pinning Nancy Gardner. A week-end in Portland seems to have done the trick. And truth, like many a football roach, will out if just given time. Phi Psis learned just last night that Irving Johnson had pinned Chi O’s Lois Hogan over two weeks ago. When fellows at the Chi Psi lodge heard the phone ring v eight times finally to be an swered by a sophomore, they were suspicious . . . and right ly. Freshmen walked out yes terday afternoon, leaving very unostentatiously. Haven’t been heard from since. ■* * * W. A. Dahlberg, professor of personality in the speech de partment, should never have trouble filling his classes . . . not after coming out with a statement favoring apple-pol ishing such as he has in today’s paper!

G/YTES With the traffic cops holding out their arms in a Nazi-like salute, the WPA projects dis playing red flags, we’re sure King George will get the wrong political idea of this country. * * » The Emerald tells us Mr. Sprague is a "cordial support er” of the two state schools. This is too much of a political statement; does he mean he’ll bet on both teams in the Ore gon - Oregon State football game? We’re told personality is the right kind' of character in the right kind of wrapper. Trans parent cellophane, no doubt. Diogenes, looking for an honest man, was born too soon. He should have had a radio so he could hear a candidate for an office telling about himself.

Once again tbo campus vibratos to whispers, conversations and shouts o£ “Why don’t we have a drum majoress?” Back of the revival of interest in Oregon’s drum majoress problem has been an interesting little drama in Corvallis. Last week the Beavers were mourning their loss of two drum mayoresses who were banned from appearing in short dresses and bare legs. The moans grew into a roar of student dis approval until just before the Homecoming game the official edict was rescinded and the girl haton-twirlers appeared. Oregon backers of the drum majoress proposal watched events with interest. When the Beavers came out victorious their whispers grew louder, until last night they were loud enough for all to hear. * -* v, >» OANNING OF the Oregon majoress last year revolved around an opinion that by permitting a girl to march before the band the campus was indulging in the “exploita tion of womanhood.” Exploitation is tl|c “selfish or unfair utilization” of an object or person, usually with the idea of gaining thereby. The drum majoress who was desposed last year was willing and eager to perform. The gain of her performance was improved appearance of the band, added pep and color, which today would fit excellently in the theme that “Oregon is Going places.” If this action is selfish, if it is unfair, if the gain from it is not a general gain to the University—then logic and reason ing have no place in this institution of higher learning. «= * 4* # LETTER WRITER to the Barometer editor, joining in the general protest at Corvallis, raised another point which should be of interest to Webfoots. In his plea for the return of the OSC majoresses he said: “We want to show the Oregon band a thing or two when our fine band meets them on Multnomah field at the Oregon game, and our girl drum majors plus superior marching and playing ability are just the things that can do it . . .” Such an expression should not remain unchallenged. If Colorful Dictator Horthy of Hungary Seems More Impressive, Picturesque Than Rivals, Emerald Scribe Says By HOWARD KESSLER Mussolini entered Rome in the becushioned comfort of a Pullman sleeper. Hitler led his march of triumph down Berlin’s Wilhelmstrassc in a sleek limousine. Place alongside these singularly unimpressive tactics of all-conquering dictators the showman ship of Nicolas Horthy de Negybanya. Resplendent in his admiral's uniform of the Austro-Hungarian navy, Horthy came riding into Budapest on a prancing white charger, leading his troops as a commander should. Barely twenty-four hours had elapsed since the last Rumanian soldiers had de parted the Magyar capital. It was November, 391!), as Admiral Horthy took over the magnificent Danubian palace which he occupies to this day. A handsome and dashing figure, the naval chief of a land that no longer had so much as a yard of coastline knew how to impress the crowds at the outset of his long career in demagogy. Keep Your Kye on Horthy Today Admiral Horthy comes into new promi nence. The success of Hitler’s “drang nach osten,” his drive toward the east, will depend in large measure on Hungary's friendship. To reach the fabulously rich oil fields of Rumania, Der Fuehrer will be forced to march through Czechoslovakia or Hungary, and it is reasonable to believe that he will take the easier route through the latter coun try. Thus the good will of Dictator Horthy is highly to be desired by Hitler and company. To pave the read to an understanding, Horthy visited the third reich last August, and was most royally entertained. It must have done his old heart good to reviwe the German fleet at Kiel, to have his charming wife christen a new German cruiser ’Trinz Kugen," after his own flagship, and to watch a stupendous parade of armament in his honor. It certainly did the Nazis no harm to lavish affection on Harthy, and it may lead the way to a Mitteleuropa such as Bismarck and Kaiser Wil helm never dared hope for. •Meet the New Champ Nicolas Horthy now holds the modern long distance championship of the dictatorship league, by virtue of Kemal Ataturk’s recent withdrawal lrom the race. He is seventy now, and cannot last many more years, which may be an incentive for Hitler to speed up his plans. Nicolas cooperated with Adolf as long ago as 1922 and until the futile pitsch of 1923. As a dictator lie has always been anti-Semitic, and in the early years of his regime he sponsored a reign of terror which com pares favorably with Hitler's own. This makes for a community of interest which a succeeding ruler of Hungary may not have with Der Fuehrer. During the early '20's it was taken for granted that Admiral Horthy intended to set himself up as King of the Magyars. Yet Horthy remains the elected regent for a monarch who has never been named. He is not of noble birth. Dozens of families have more hereditary right to the throne of Hun gary than he, and someday one of them may be chosen. But for nearly two decades the son of a fairly prosperous Magyar squire has cracked the whip over an asembly elected by open ballot. He Flayed the Kiddle for the Emperor The admiral had a brilliant career in the Austro-Hungarian navy before and during the war. He was aide de camp to the Emperor Francis Joseph for several 'years. As a naval officer he had to speak German, and it is interesting to note that he still uses Hungarian with a German dialect. In 1900 Horthy became a naval lieutenant, and the next year he married the daughter of a wealthy farmer. Her beauty, intellectual qualities, and simple nature, it is said, have contributed greatly to his popularity. At the start of the World War Nicolas Horthy commanded a cruiser. For nearly three years he frittered away his days without coming to grips with the enemy. Then, on May 15, 1917, our brave commander went into action. He broke through the Allied blockade with three cruisers and two destroyers, and attacked the enemy fleets in a terrific sea encounter near Otranto. A Horthy Never Retreats, Sir! For seven hours Horthy battled five British battleships and eight Italian and French vessels. His flagship was crippled, but Horthy fought on. Shells were screaming and falling on all sides of him, but Horthy fought on. His cruisers were capsizing to the right of him and to the left of him, but did Horthy run away? Not Horthy! Our hero fought on and on. Suddenly a sliver of steel was thrown up at the commander. Too late he saw it and ducked. Too late to avoid the messenger of death. "I'm shot!" he gasped, tin German, of course), and clutched at his breast. iTo be continued.) Oregon Stale can liavo two bare-legged drum mayoresses, can there is no reason why Oregon cannot rise to the occasion with a fitting reply. »J5s ih iff rJ~'ITE ACE when “knees were always covered and referred 1o in a hushed voice as limbs” is gone. The age when young ladies dropped handkerchiefs and fainted on appro priate occasion left with handle-bar mustaches. The age when women were restricted to 1 heir “proper” activities in the drawing room and kitchen passed with the livery stable. Women have been emancipated. Their capabilities have been recognized and accepted. There is no need for a con tinuation of Yietorianism on the Oregon campus. A Joint Reputation Grows J^EPDTATTON is an elusive character. Tt grows and changes; is added to and detracted from. Reputation is an important thing for an individual—no less important for an institution. Therefor the plaudits just received by the Oregon chapter of Sigma Delta Chi are important to the University. The men of the journalism honorary may he congratulated not only because of their personal success but success of their contribution to the fame and honor of Oregon. Rehind the announcement that the local chapter placed highest among tin' 43 chapters of the society with the record breaking score of 90 points in the efficiency contest is a long story. It is a story of service to Oregon and journalism. It contains a list of achievements that have been going on quietly under the direction of able leaders. # *= # * GIGMA DELTA Chi has had a long and colorful career on the campus. It has aided in high school and state press con ferences, it has managed contests for the betterment of jour nalism, it has improved the abilities of its members through contacts with noted men in the newspaper profession. The men of Oregon chapter of Sigma Delta Chi have exemplified their creed. They have truly evidenced talent, have utilized it with energy, and have guided their activities with the light of truth. Journalism in Oregon stands im proved and honored by their activities. In the Mail NO JOKING To the Editor: Having recently regained personal contact with my Alma Mater I have had an opportun ity to make mental note of a number of things—good and bad alike—and the letter col umn of November 9th’s Emer ald seems to indicate that oth ers have similar thoughts. It occurs to me that there is a noticeable lack of coopera tion of the latent power and strength of the great mass of former Oregon students. Is it possible that we have a small group who form alumni poli cies without asking for com ment or suggestion or who dis regard them when offered, or is it a case of everyone not giving a whoop—except the small minority who prefer a “status quo” for some reason or other? If it is the latter then we have no one to blame but ourselves for not exercis ing our prerogative — alumni voting. I attended class reunion and homecom-ing this year and since have been forced to make com parisons. If the several exam ples of alumni organizing which I have seen recently are typi cal of other work, then I be lieve there is a bad case of “dry rot” in the timber struc turn of the good ship “Old Ore gon’’ and it is about time we do some dry-docking and see what is wrong. To assist in bettering our or ganisation I recommend this: 1. Ask and allow construc tive criticism through Old Ore gon and the Oregon Emerald. 2. See that the paid secre tariat organizes and follows up on local alumni chapters. (If such is being done I find no comment on it either in the al umni publication or from in quiries.) Let’s quit “joking” and hear what others have to say—we might get a few surprises that have been long delayed and badly needed. Del Monte, Ex-class of '28. MORRIS SPEAKS ON KOAC Dr. Victor P.
