And Every Saturday, Blood
P'OLLOWING their avowed policy of never
looking beyond Ihe next weekend’s game,
1lie Lemon and Green again lakes to the grid
iron today, after having lasted blood on three
successive Saturdays.
Although they have knocked over three
by no means easy opponents, today’s struggle
is not exactly in the hag. True, on the basis
of past successes it would seem that the Web
foots are not exactly in the underdog posit ion.
If they keep going like they have been, there
just doesn’t seem to be anyone on the sched
ule who can trip them.
On the other hand, there is still a long
way to go, and this is no time to start count
ing the chickens likely to be hatched. Fur
thermore, having gone through 1hc first part
of the toughest schedule in history, three Cali
fornia outfits in as many weeks, Tex Oliver
fears his charges are due for a letdown, or
so lie intimates.
'jpHERE is not. mud) point 1o reviewing llie
general setup; that part is generally !
known, and anyone’s comments would be as j
acceptable on the subject. However, 1be cam- !
pus, swarming with 1bose who are proud of
1he way the year is going, is bubbling over
with enthusiasm. Tex Oliver is stronger than
horseradish with one and all, and so are Jiis
boys.
There’s no getting around it, people like
to see winning football, especially when it is
their own team as this one is. Already the
year looks like a record-breaker; already you
can hardly buy seats for the Oregon State
game of November 11.
Last night’s rally was a well-organized,
spirited piece of work. It showed the feeling
piled ui) behind the gridmen. Beyond that it
is u]) to Tex and his boys.
And next week maybe there will still be
headlines reading “Unbeaten Oregons.”
They Came to Learn; Instead They Taught
r I'TIE average college student, especially
after lie has been a college student for
a year or two, is prone to consider his high
school younger brethren as rather unfledged
material. From this type of material not much
is to he expected in the way of useful ideas,
1he forgetful collegian is all too apt to decide.
Yesterday,* in Hie guild theater of John
son hall, this idea ran into a snag, or rather
it suffered a complete rout, and at I he hands
of a group of these same pre-college youths.
It seems that they not only have their own
ideas, but they have plenty of them, and
the ideas are good. More than that, they are
not a bit bashful about sounding off about
what they think and what they have done.
Not many college students are that way.
To anyone sitting in on yesterday’s ses
sions of the high school press conference it
was impressive 1he way these youngsters
came through. They got up in a crowd they
did not know and sounded off. They told of
their “student days,” in which students take
over the school, run tin* classes, and have a
field day in general. They told of their trou
bles in arousing enthusiasm for various school
projects. And 1 hoy know plenty about. news
papers also.
in all, it. was a question as to who was
learning the more, 1 lie high school jour
nalists or 1 he few stray collegians who for
business or curiosity wandered into the meet
ings. It is certain that everyone came away
with something new, something useful.
All is not lost if high schools are turning
out material like this these days, if the per
sonal views will be pardoned. Although the
phrase lias been used so many times, it might
again he permissible to say that the Univer
sity is fortunate in having these high school
conferences here each year. The University is
indeed fortunate, for not only do the young
sters learn, hut they also teach. Possibly they
teach more than they learn. And there is al
ways room for such teaching, if it is going
to mean so much mutual benefit.
Only complaint possible is that it is too
had more of the college young people could
not contact, the youngsters to see how much
they had forgotten.
Rockets Should Go Farther
INTERESTING angles can be counted on to
develop as lime goes on, and this is true of
almost anything which can be named, ll is
true of this year's slndent body membership
campaign.
Only a week ago the drive was being
hailed as the most successful in the history
of optional ASUO fees. It was, in some ways.
It did sell more cards than had ever been sold
before, and of these it did sell more $15 cards
than last year’s all-time high, which means
winter and spring term percentages will hold
up better.
But enrollment is up, and in selling more
cards, the drive still netted a lesser percent
age than last year, by nearly four per cent.
Of course the term is not yet over and many
of the returns are not yet in, but this is fairly
close to a final figure.
When the matter is held out at arm’s
length and inspected it has all the earmarks
of a paradox. More enrollment, yes, and more
football games at home than ever before. Not
only that, but football games away from home
iire <1 rawing heavy water in llie way of eorn
|)li*1(‘ admission for ASUO members; Berkeley
supplied I lie latest, instance.
HE fact that more of the heavyweight
cards, the all-year fil'teen-dollar numbers,
were sold seems to indicate plenty of ready
cash among the undergraduates, particularly
among freshmen. At the state college the three
thousand mark was reached a day or two
ago, which beats our percentage considerably.
This is especially unusual, for the University
has always led the college in percentage of
student body cards sold, ever since the adop
tion of the optional fee.
The more pondering that is done the far
ther one strays from any logical conclusion.
The best drive machinery in years put on the
best campaign, sold more cards, but percent
age' fell. If there is any reason for this state
of affairs it is not immediately apparent. If
someone has the reason at hand he should
come forward with it.
Oregonizing had a great start. It rolled
far, but it could have rolled farther.
It’s a Salt-Mine Job
*Jj''WO days ago, as a result of annual fall
elections, the class of ’TS, the University's
newest freshman class, became a body with a
head and a framework. They took on a new
president and a new set of class officers, the
first of a four-year line.
Immediately upon learning of their new
found offices, the electees found themselves
face to face with a hand-raised set of prob
lems, generally those which have been fresh
man concerns since the class system was in
vented. Not very stupendous concerns, it is
true, but nevertheless matters which would
come under the “to be done” heading.
The frosh, through their new officers,
found themselves almost completely disor
ganized, an almost invariable characteristic of
any successful attack, according to the KOTO
manual, volume 111. They had carried their
position, but for the moment they were unable
lo do'much more than try to figure out the
#
meaning of tlioir victory.
# #
Jj'IKs’l' on their list was the orango-and
hlaek “O" on Skinner’s butte. The frosli
duty was elearly, as a matter of tradition, to
restore to the huge eonerete letter on the hill
ils original gleaming yellow eolor. That this
was not done the day it was diseovered will
probably be a blaek mark on the elass record
which will be a long time wearing off.
Having cleared up the matter of the “0”
they must then not only guard their work, but
they must get. ready to build the greatest
bontire ever, tor Homecoming, and prepare
to guard that.
The life of the freshman is not 100 per cent
a bed of roses, and the elass story is like that
of the individual. But the frosh should not be
too slow in starting, or they will find them
selves behind the well-known eight-ball for
some little time during their first year here.
The
SHOW
OFF
By NORMAN FOSTER
Dust to dust! . • .
Perhaps you’ve heard the one
about the producer who calls the
novelist into his office and says,
“Congratulations, you've got a
swell story here. We’ll change the
plot, move the setting from Alas
ka to Florida, add some new char
acters and it’ll make a colossal
picture.”
And that’s the way of all nov
els in Hollywood. Take for exam
ple the best-seller, “Gone With the
Wind.” By the time the Hollywood
big wigs get through with the now
infamous novel, it will be some
thing on the order of "Hurricane.” ■.
Incidentally, “Gone With the
Wind” is scheduled for release
around Christmas. Which Christ
mas they didn’t say. And “Grapes
of Wrath,” the picturesque ditty
by John Steinbeck, is still before
the cameras. Steinbeck sold the
story only on the condition that
he could okey the script before it
was “shot.”
Hollywood Backyard ?
In spite of the author’s precau
tions, “The Grapes of Wrath” will
probably be shot in a Hollywood
backyard or alley, if not Florida.
Steinbeck’s "juicy” story promises
to be a headache for the Will Hays
office, and no wonder!
“Mighty Oregon” Recorded
Decca will release discas of the
leading college songs throughout
the country. “Mighty Oregon”
will be one of them, but as yet we
don’t know the band that will
swing out via wax for the Alma
Mater . . . Almost as good as his
“Begin the Beguine” is Artie
Shaw's treatment of the old “I
Surrender Dear.” Top suave swing,
this tune should discredit any be
lief that Shaw and company are on
the downgrade. Besides spectacu
lar clarineting by Shaw, the musi
cal accompaniment for “I Surren
der Dear” fairly makes the plat
ter sizzle and the side fry.
Airing! . . .
Bunny Berrigan has given up
his band in favor of a studio job
. . . Edythe Wright is no longer
with Tommy Dorsey and company.
T. Dorsey’s vocalizing will be car
ried on by Anita Boyer . . . Glen
Miller’s band and the Andrews sis
ters will replace Paul Whiteman’s
on the Wednesday night CBS
Chesterfield cig show.
Can’t Happen Here? . . .
A “gentlemen’s agreement”
among most of the country's lead
ing bands is to the effect that said
orchestras will not play any for
eign national anthems regardless
of the importance of the individ
ual making the request.

view last night the* general pur
pose of the soph infortnal dance.
“It is our desire to give a dance
where the fellows can bring their
girl-friends and enjoy an evening
of dancing or jitterbugging in a
friendly and congenial atmosphere
—all without a too noticeable chop
in the felloWs’ allowance,” Talk
ins explained.
The rules for the “dirtier than
dirt” contest have been set as fol
lows: Entrants must be members
of the class of ’42; any evidence of
an intentional attempt to get the
shoes or pants dirtier than would
result from ordinary wear, will
eliminate entrants from the con
test; and entrants must be wear
ing their own clothes.
In other words, the would-be
contestants must be sophomores.
However, the fact that a partici
pant may be on freshman study
table because, of heavy pigging last
spring term will not keep him
from entering the contest. Con
testants are not supposed to fall
into mud puddles on purpose nor
dab black paint on shoes. Such ac
tions will be considered decidedly
unfair and therefore will not be al
lowed. If a hopeful contestant’s
shoes are two sizes too large or if
the moleskins resemble knickers,
said contestants will be consid
ered wearing other than their own
apparel and will be excluded from
the contest.
A suggestion has been made by
the contest committee to the ef
fect that in order to even be con
sidered for judging, moleskins
should be able to stand by them
selves and saddles should be of the
new “midnight in a Coal Mine”
shade.
Students who expect to partici
pate, will be asked to meet at
some given place in McArthur
court the night of the dance for
judging. The time and exact place
of the judging will be announced
at a later date in the Emerald.

The
World
At Large
By JACK BI KER
Japanese progress in China is
much like the path of a truck
through desert sands. The Nippon
ese invaders advance, but Chinese
civilians rise up around them,
bombing at night and forgetting to
raise crops by day.
The Japanese method of sup
pression in this case is probably
one of the most inhuman acts of
the present day.
Forbidden by death to use opium
under Chiang-Kai-Shek's regime,
the Chinese are having it forced
down their throats at the profit of
Japanese army officers.
Officers Profit
Having captured a town, a
group of Nipponese officers
promptly open several shops for
the distribution of a cheap grade
of opium. Profits from the busi
ness, as do many other similar
grafts, go into their pockets.
China tried for decades to sup
press opium smoking, and under
the iron hand of Chiang-Kair-Shek
was realizing great success. In
1936 the Generalissimo said, “Chi
na’s greatest danger is not from
foreign invasion, but from her old
age opium smoking habit.”
Unusual Warfare
It Is all too plain that such a
degrading method of warfare might
well lower Chinese character and
resistance to a degree where Ja
pan can mold the entire nation.
At the present time 75 per cent
of the Japanese in Manchuria are
some way connected with the
opium industry. This is not only a
problem to China, since nearly all
of the opium imported to this
country is raised' and shipped by
the Japanese. However, these ship
ments are first labeled in Shanghai
or Tienstin in order that the blame
will be placed on the Chinese.
The Japanese as a whole are not
to be blamed for this weird busi
ness in China. The Japanese army
operates on its own authority, lis
tening only to the applause of its
home audience.
Army Control
Having the greatest voice in the
cabinet, the army chieftains are
able to realize their own ambitions
without dissent from important
sources. Therefore, it is almost
the army alone that has profited
from the struggle. Officers are re
turning home from the front
wealthy as a result of systematized
graft sweated out of conquered
Chinese.
Chinese land in Manchuria is
taken over, fortunes are stolen,
and cases are on file of wealthy
White Russians being kidnaped by
