Only One Portland Weekend—or, Save Hallowe'en Until Oct. 31
'T'ODAY football will start attracting a Rood
part of 1 lio "WVbfoot. student body 1o
Portland, and tomorrow football will trans
form Portland. Tonight on Broadway a good
sized street rally is on tlie sebedule. Pre-game
enthusiasm will run high. Tomorrow night, no
matter what happens there will be more of
this enthusiasm peeuliar to football weekends
in Portland.
All in all, many interesting things will
happen, and possibly a good time will be bad
by all. It is certain that University of Oregon
students will have considerable opportunity
to present themselves to the public gaze. They
will, whether they like it or not, be very much
in the public eye during Uieir hours in Ihe
city.
Now whether a good time will be had by
all, or only by some, will depend to a large
measure on how the wearers of the Lemon
and Greeii conduct themselves. Spirit is fine,
if kept within the borders of good taste, l’ut
Portland is not a university town, instead it is
filled with citizens who live much different
lives than we do here. Some of the things
which arc all right nn the campus arc likely

In Out of the Cold Again—Pardon for the House GPA List
''JTIME lias a lialiit of accomplishing much
that nothing else can do. A case in point
is (lie decision of 1 lie faculty jo permit (lie
publishing or inspection of sludenl and house
grade point averages. For a year a cloud of
official secrecy has surrounded shell grade
figures, with no publication being permitted,
although each house knew how it stood.
The argument which held the most promi
nence at the time the prohibition was inaugu
rated was something to the effect that houses
low on the list wen1 discriminated against,
come rushing time, that it was an actual
handicap. The faculty felt at that, time that
it encouraged the enrolling in “pipes"’ for
the benefit of the house (il’A. It was true that
low-graded courses were, frequently dropped
in favor of the house standing.
Now, however, it is believed that grade
publicity will encourage and stimulate stu
dents, and it cannot be denied there are
strong grounds for 1 his reversal. (Iroups with
high grades are justly proud of their stand
ings and will strive to maintain or raise this
level. Other groups far down the bidder prob
ably know exactly why they rest there.
* * *
r£"MIF old plaint that grade publication dis
criminated against low-standing groups
would seem to be a rather strange adaptation
of justice, for, having earned their high
marks, why should not tin* high-rankers be
given due credit? Indeed non-publication
would be and was discrimination the other
way.
Tlio year’s silence ns 1o house standings
■was a black year for high CPA houses, a
good oue lor lliose otherwise inclined. I lie
newest action of the faculty brings the em
phasis back more nearly to where it belongs.
As long as there are going to he grades, and
apparently no better, more workable system
can be found, there should be ratings. Publi
cation is consistent with grading. Many facul
ty members have always felt 1he newly-re
pealed system Avas an injustice, but for one
reason or another they were willing to see
iionpublicat ion tried out. This week they
acted again.
# # >$
QF course the release of comparative stand
ings will in the long run hit Creek-letter
living' organizations hardest, especially the
men s houses. When grades Avero last pub
lished these were at the bottom of the list.
Only one per cent of this group made the
honor roll, the lowest percentage of any
group. Opinion Avas divided as to Avhether
fraternities Avero pledging inferior men or
Avhether it was the system which made it
impossible to study as hard as other types of
organizations. Highest on ihe lists were co
ops and dormitory groups.
However, for Creeks as compared Avitli
other Creeks, the new way, or rather the
reversion to the old Avay, is fair. As nearly
as can he determined from the known facts,
the faculty is to be congratulated on uncloud
ing the issue. Future congratulations may be
anticipated for houses who will appear at the
top of I he list.

On Voyage Home
While sailing home from a Euro
pt'fin trip this fall, two members of
the art school narrowly missed the
fate of the passengers on the Brit
ish ship, Athenia.
The boat on which .Tack Stafford,
art student, and Assistant Ihofes
sor W. S. Hayden, booked passage,
sailed over the fatal location a day
earlier than the British steamer.
According to the two men, the
people in Europe, at the time of
their visit, were not entirely
alarmed over the European situa
tion. All of the small countries, ex
cept Denmark, were making' prep
arations for defense, though there
was no definite fear.
A few Oregon graduates who
were visited by the travelers were

by reason of (he Southern California tie of
last week, the hoys will be out to demonstrate
that last week's performance was no flash in
the pan, that they do have the right to say,
as they do, that they should have beaten the
Trojans.
At this point in the season it is too early
for any rash predictions as to future success;
such prognostications only put two strikes at

to them, and they have a bad psychological
effect. The “Olivermen,” as local sports
scribes arc prone to call them, arc still, to all

season. Most, of the way is yet to go.
Sometimes it oeenrs to ns that it would be

comes with a shock that it should have hap

But seasons do not slop, there are many
more games to be played before the cleats are
hung up, and tomorrow is another tough
hurdle. The Oregons, on the stadium field to

feel that they have the backing of people
already proud of them.

Phil Bladine was placed in

Island Curios
Shown at Libe
Hawaiian Items
Theme of Display
Gathered by Prof
From a year’s sabbatical leave
spent in the Hawaiian islands, Pro
fessor and Mrs. A. L. Lomax and
their family have returned to the ■
campus with a most interesting
collection of Hawaiian items. Part i
of the collection may be seen on
display in the circulation depart
ment of the University library.
One of the most striking things !
to be seen is the specimen of tapa
cloth, made from the bark of the ,
paper mulberry tree. This cloth
was once used by the old Polynes- i
ians for clothing, though now it is
primarily valued as a curio. Pro
fessor Lorhax said that most of the
cloth is not even made in Hawaii
but is shipped in from Samoa.
Koa seed necklaces and brace
lets are made from the seed of a
“shrubby” tree. These seeds are
collected by Chinese and Japanese
and are treated in such a manner
that they may be strung.
Hawaiian leis are made from all
kinds of fragrant flowers found in
the islands. Very popular are the
carnation leis, also those of the
pikaki flower and ginger leis are
frequently seen.
Cocoanut shell buttons, made by
natives, are also on display. How
ever, according to Professor Lo
max, there is little native handi
craft left in the islands, imports
from California making it unneces
sary.
