"When ASTJO Presy John Dick and Homo coming Chairman Hurt on Karr went to Cor vallis to sec what could be done about limiting bloodshed to the gridiron they didn't do it because it was suggested to them from above. It. was their own idea, and if it ever gets any where it will lie because 1hey and others in similar positions as well as those they repre sent, Ihe students, want it to be so. The Staters are doing their part, while here every house president has received a letter from the interfraternity council head asking cooperation to prevent a mess. That should help some. During the week there will be some speeches made at various gatherings which should also help. * * # ^ACTUALLY the thing is sound in principle, especially if 1he Beavers are to be guests at 1 ho rest of Ilomecoming, for since when diil anyone consider il good hospitality fo in dulge in ;i free-for-all with a group of guests and then invite fliem up for a soeial evening of rug-eulling? Of course 1 his may lie only crossing of bridges which will never he reached. Two years ago llirre was no catastrophe alter the game, although t hero was an amicable give and-take affair under the goal-posts. It was three days after when the storm broke, and then the only result was many splashes in the millrare and some very wet and bedraggled Beaver boys. Furthermore, 1here is no intent to goody goody il : we’ve been underneath some of those heaps personally, joyously. But no mat ter what is said it is only natural to come back 1o the original point, basic for any such discussion, namely—where does it lead? It, could have perhaps been said, more simply by the unadorned statement that be fore any pooh-poohing of such missionary work is indulged in the thing should he looked at very, very carefully. A Thousand Men in a Telephone Booth the state system of higher education what it is, with higher education operat ing on strictly an operational budget, it is no wonder that, undergraduate and other clamoring for more building has subsided of late, particularly with the demise of I’WA crutches. It is true that planners throughout the state system can see plenty of places where additional building would seem highly desirable, although there is perhaps no imme diate gleam in the eyes of possible fund seekers. However, it is evident that no one will be caught napping, lh’ any such cash is found lying around. As a case in point the Oregon State college Barometer mighi be cited for an editorial of last hViday titled "A New Audi torium—Maybe.” Ostensibly for the purpose of pointing out the need for a new auditorium at the college, the. editorial went on quite naturally to list all the desirable additions for 1 he future, with no direct appeal, of course. Now it ought to he all right to look to the future in any situation; that is not to be held against the Barometer any more than if the Emerald were to do the same. But this matter would never have seen print if one of the items on the list of futures had not been an addition to the college IIOTE quarters, specif ically “an addition to the armory, requiring acquisition of w hat is now private proper! v east of the building.” This, to University of Oregon eyes, only serves to turn the gaze in ward, to t he KO I ('“ barracks on the Eugene campus. EV ER limit for Ihe purpose tor winch it, is now used, 1 lie local ROTC plant is a misfit. It is too small also. Everyone connected with the building knows this, and the matter has gone much farther than frhe campus. The local ROTC staff has worked wonders with the material at hand throughout the years, especially within the last decade, turning out units which have won laurels in open com petition, both in school and in the regular army, which is now liberally besprinkled with University of Oregon men as officers. Kurthermore, the local ROTO building is not even adequate to house all the equipment, to which the corps is entitled. Therefore this equipment is not at hand, and University of Oregon infantry does its competing without that practical benefit. That the men turned out manage to overcome this handicap, by what struggle, is rather a credit to them for their perseverance, and to the officers of the regular army stationed hero to instruct them. Any way the thing is looked at, facilities arc not adequate. With the growth of the physical education department even drill fields have been cut to one undersized pasture behind the barracks. And there is more than this, which, however, can wait. But the KOTU has the largest male enrollment on the cam pus, and 1000 men can never become sardines. Suffice it to say that if there is going to be any KOTU improvement in the stale system it should he hen* first, and to a considerable extent. If and when.

Peanut Artillerists J JTriTTPT? education is a fine thin". Through higher education Ihe partaker 1 hereof attains, or is supposed to attain, a level be yond that of others less fortunate who for one reason or another do npf go in for that “ school in"” which lies beyond high school. Fool hall Saturdays, however, sometimes brin" mil queer and interesting aspects ol higher education, which cause the onlooker to wonder .just how far the elevating process has cone, how effective it has been. Witness a typical football Saturday on 1he home campus. Scene: Ihe stadium. The stands are full. Fp in front are the yell leaders, ap parently in fits of rage. Apple cores come hurtling down upon yell leader number one, bid he tries fn ignore them. Pop bottles tumble out of the stands onto the cinder track. The grandstand seems to be divided into different levels of sound. The farther up one cares to listen the more raucous the voices and the more united—united, that is, in about. Iwenty individual cries all the way from “We want .Moshofsky” 1o “ We wanna HOT i>0(i.'’ # # * gFT it is Ihe lower levels who really enjoy the game. Through Hie first half, until throwing arms are paralyzed, spectators near er the front find their watching punctuated by by steady 1 humps as a hail of peanuts in Ihe shell patters around 1 heir unwilling ears. No one is safe—anyone within throwing range is likely to receive a rude awakening via the peanut barrage. All in all, a most enjoyable afternoon, for the more joyous spirits who 1hro\v and let out tlieir oars. It. is perhaps not anyone’s privilege nor Ood*given right 1o say the peanut hoys and every-man-for-himself rooting sections are out of their element. Who are we to observe that the thing is perhaps more thoroughly done by high school brothers and sisters, and grade school. However, it is only a fair assumption that the high-sehool-grade-sohool stage has been successfully left behind when one be comes part of a college or university. » * «= NYONE who saw Saturday’s game from anywhere near the rooting section knows what went on. With the peanut throwers and their ilk the stands became not quite good enough for high school, too bad for college. And Oregon in particular has always been proud of its lack of this sort of thing. There is no answer to a plaint of this na ture, or at least no answer to be given here. The answer must come from the individual. Tf after all he feels that football games are scheduled so he can bounce peanuts off noses from 100 feet away, then it; is his privilege to continue to do so. It is even to be Imped that the game on the field will not interfere with his pleasure. If the prospect of adulthood holds such terrors that reversion to an earlier stage is necessary, nothing but pity is in order. Required rooting section equipment for Saturday: trench helmets, nr some sort of demountable roof. In the Mail 18 YELL LEADERS November 6, 10.10 Dear Editor: Far be it from me to sit down and pan the rally squad just for the sheer joy of it, for I feel, that I know various problems practically as well as they do. Theirs is not an enjoyable job, and, generally speaking, it is one where very little thanks is received for the work put out. But the issue at hands is, where does the job of the rally squad start and where does it stop ? T am under the impression that their job is to do all that they can to raise enthusiasm and spirit during the week and to aid the yell leaders during the half-time period, if their help is so desired. But as to the squad attempt ing to aid the yell leaders dur ing the actual playing of the game, then that is where I feel that they are stepping out of their bounds as rally squad mem bers. The students of this cam pus elected a yell king, and he to choose his two assistants, to lead yells and otherwise raise enthusiasm during the game it self. Tf the yell leaders are not performing their duty that is their fault. But that specific job should be left entirely up to them. I for one would like to see the “U” have just THREE yell leaders rather than EIGHTEEN. T am quite sure that if this letter is read open mindedly by the various members of both squads, they will see that there is some logic in back of it. t Signed) Dick Williams.

The sports coat, once consid ered a luxury, can be pur chased today in a wide range of prices and has become an es And that wonderful success that the AWS carnival was, (it made more money than any other carnival its supporters claim) is being discontinued because the fraternity house managers didn’t want to put up $5 for a booth. Sounds as weak as the “punch” the ATOs tubbed Tiger Payne in. Just venturing a guess could it be something else. The carnival hail a definite carry over from years before and from what the 8 BALL could gather it was considered a social disgrace to attend. sential with college men. Sand and tan with blue seem to be the leading colors in the still popular Shetland coats, particu larly in the lighter shades, The lighter blue, almost a pastel, is generally combined with gray or lighter shades of brown in a hound’s tooth or plaid design. This season blue is also mixed with brown and even dark green in the solid color tweeds, giving a soft mixture of color that is right for autumn and winter days. * * # The shirt on your back this fall will most likely be made of the sturdy oxford cloth with the new' widespread or button down Dover roll-front collar.
