It went, into action earlier in the week, but at this point it seems likely that it fell slightly short of the mark. In its desire to give someone a rather quiet pat on the hack for a neat job of work ing up an introduction stunt for the new drum majoress the editorial also did a rather neat job of passing up those directly respons ible—the. rally committee. Of course it was stated in the rather in adequate editorial gem that “rumor has it that it was Les Ilarger.” However, that does not eliminate the fact that tin' rally committee was left out in 1 lie cold. * # ■* A/TAYBE Bob IToehuli, rally e o in m i It e e chairman, hit the nail on 1he head when In* said it. was too bad the “Only time the rally committee gets a good idea they don t even get the credit.” There can he little defense at host for an error of ommission ; but the fact that an at tempt was made should help some. Anyway •\ve said it was a good jon wHI done. And while the subject is open, it might he added that this sort of thing is what the rally committee ought to he spending more of its energies doing. Taken away from 1 lie men tal strain of trying to work up erowd enthus iasm by adopting the rightful duties of the yell leader, the committee might show itself capable of far more than it has so iar been encouraged to do. r\N the question of where the rally commit tee should be during games its own chair man says he is willing to try something dif ferent. lie admits it would probably be better for the committee not to be dragged out in front of 1 he stands, Hint it could produce more otherwise. What the rally committee does, how it works with I lie yell squad, are things for the veil king and the chairman of the committee to decide. Half the combination has been heard from. If half feels this way, maybe the two should get together and hash the thing out before very long. Regardless of whether anything is done to remedy the main ditlieulty, it was still a clever little duck tlm rally committee wheeled out on the field. Fifteen Days Until Homecoming I rlL 1 lip approach ol I wo unrelated mu nevertheless important functions, name ly midterms and Homecoming, it becomes in creasingly apparent that then* is work to In* done. For midterms the answer is obvious. The same is true of Homecoming, bul the answer there is more detailed. Homecoming this year has something no other Homecoming has ever bad so much ol — natural strength. No matter what kind of program there is for the three-day event the tiling is bound to have more intrinsic power than ever before. .Just now it is difficult to see any weak point in the setup. It can’t miss, unless some unforeseen and unexpected calamity hits Ihe planning, such as a general smallpox epidemic here and over the state, sprained knees for the entire foot ball squad, or the complete disappearance of Hayward field. It will be great because it has been a big year for Oregon football, for one thing. The fact that Ihe traditional Homecom ing grid game is with the traditional hottest, rival, Ihe state college, does not lessen tin* buildup either. Also, the game is being played on a holiday Saturday, something which hap pens only once in a blue moon. Hayward stands will probably be jammed to the rafters, and then some. HPIIE game itself would be enough, in all probability, Oregon and Oregon State al ways attract more attention when they play each other than any other combination the conference can put on an Oregon field. Sagas of past clashes, when the Staters were ‘‘Ag gies” and the games were played in mud, are still going around the state. It is only natural that interest should bo so great for the two major sum1 sniums m always that way. Anolher reason for increased interest, in 111is year’s Homecoming is the climbing en rollment. (treater enrollment means widening circles of interest and infhiene.e. Also not to he forgotten is the faet that winning the national basketball ehampionship last spring focused attention on the I'niversity and has continued to have this effect. in all it looks like a great Homecoming year, which will succeed, with a few stipulations. First, the campus itself must develop Ilomocoming-eonsciousness. ’flu1 thing is big, with alums coming hack to see what has come over 111«* old alma mater; there is more to it than just getting them here. The campus must radiate some kind of electricity which will tell everyone that Homecoming is something more than just an ordinary week end with a good football game thrown in, and perhaps an exceptional mini her of visitors around. Another good suggestion is to let the secret filter out of Eugene, even if it has to go through tin* U. S. mail, that this is going to he a naturally strong event. That Saturday being a full holiday it is likely that more visitors will he able to come to the campus than would otherwise appear. In any case it will do no harm to suggest to anyone not already here that if would he a wise idea to take advantage of this year's setup and come. So Homecoming is going strong, even at this early date. Only two weeks from tomor row the thing will he going full blast. Now is the time to get in the groundwork which must he done if this year is to he the grealest ever, even without ballyhoo. So This Is Law ^^NE of llio most vociferous groups in exist ence anywhere, the law school student body, is this week up to its perennial tricks, this time with reference to their impending orgy which they compliment by referring to as a dance. Already the Emerald is receiving a daily drenching with the stuff one of their more active committees seems to consider as good publicity. The only thing they overlook is the little matter of balance. In their desire to give vent to their appeals the publicity committee feels called upon to carry on at great and un printable length. So far has the matter gone that bv now the Emerald suffers daily bombasts from the two-man committee, which verbosely declares freedom of the press is being abused, that facts are being suppressed. Personally we have ever since coming to college admired the law school boys for their very el’ferveseenee, and we have evf>ry desire to maintain friendly relations between kin dred professional schools, journalism and law. T what must be decided is whether to print their stuff with a sort of “throw it and duck attitude or refuse to have au\ thing to do with it until it is fit for civilized consumpt ion. Lot the law school men have their dance. They are outside the jurisdiction of the school anyway, and will probably do as they like. Anyone represented by the Lmorald is entitled to a chance to be heard. The law school men are entitled to that chance. But, doggonit, we somehow just can’t help wish ing they would give us half a chance by bring ing over something printable. UO Students Gain ROTC Distinction Rosson New Cadet Colonel; Receives Second Post Fifty pairs of heels clicked smaitly and fifty uniformed chests stuck out proudly, last Wednes day as the senior officers of the ROTC received their official cadet, commission certificates. Chosen because of their outstanding re cords during their three years of training, the officers compose the ! senior division of the advanced military students. 1 Colonel R. M. Lyon, head of the , military department, was enthusi j astic over the new cadet officers. “These officers," he said, “have j been trained for three years in military discipline and leadership, and now they are prepared to command the lower division cadets of the ROTC. It is no easy task to train nearly a thousand men, but I have the highest confidence in the ability ol' these new offi cers.” The officers were assigned to their respective companies last week, and were in command of all the units at last Wednesday’s uni formed drill. Top new officer was William B. Rosson, with the rank of colonel, and second in command was Ar thur McM. Murphy, who was commissioned lieutenant-colonel.

H is situated on Fail-mount avenue, between Orch ard and Villard streets. A miniature model of the house was made by Charles Endicott, an architecture major, and the land scape was done by Josephine Lumm, a landscape architecture major. Wednesday, the model was removed from the library where it had been on display since Spring. Both the model and the actual house are built from plans of no. 5 house in the September 26, 1938 issue of Life magazine.
