Keeping the Home Fires Burning—The UO Band*
HEN a football team goes traveling it
faces a far different situation than it
does in its home games. At home it has the
driving influence of a loyal and highly con
centrated band of organized supporters to
carry the part of the psychological load.
Away from home it is just another team, and
it has to go it alone. This is true whenever a
team travels.
Naturally, then, if there are any aids
which can be rung in to help the travelers
it is likely that they will seem highly desir
able, in order that the contest be not allowed
to appear to the players to be between 11
to 30 men on one side and twenty to forty
thousand on the other.
It is this situation which becomes apparent
as the Seattle game approaches, if the budget
of the athletic board is any indication, there,
will be no University of Oregon band on the
Seattle field Thanksgiving day, for no pro
vision is therein made for funds for the trip.
'Y^’llETHEH the board intended this omis
sion or whether it, is only an oversight
is not clear. Also, whether the band wants to
go is not, clear—after all, Thanksgiving day
is a holiday, and it may be difficult to gather
a sufficient number of band members to do
any good.
Only two band trips are budgeted for the
year. Of these, one for the Stanford game has
already taken place. The other is to be the
annual “challenge day,” in which the Uni"
versify of Washington band and a group of
Seattle fans invade Portland to challenge
Portlanders to the game.
In considering sending so large an aggre
gation as a band anywhere a sobering thought
appears in the fact that it is bound to epst
money, it. costs around $400 a trip to even
send them to Portland, while it is estimated
it would cost twice as much to send them to
Seattle. This is not exactly chicken feed, but
on the other hand it has not been a bad year
for the University athletic treasury.
* # *
rjp0 send the band to Seattle would be a
gracious gesture on the part of Ihe board.
Certainly there will be a large enough con
tingent of Webfoot rooters in Seattle to insure
that the band will not be alone at the stadium.
In other years the band has made the Seattle
trip.
To arrange funds for such a trip would
require a special athletic board meeting, it
has been indicated by an important member
of that body. That the way is not closed is
indicated by Athletic Manager Anse Cornell,
who declared Monday he would investigate
the plausibility, the band's willingness, and
everything concerned, then make a report.
If the band trip to Seattle is vetoed, the
reasons will probably be good ones. But it is
to be hoped the road will be cleared for this
important functionary group to be lending
its boost in the final game of a hard season.
It’s Always Mother—A Success Story
all the people and groups who work for
the good of the University one of the
most consistent in its effort and ils results is
1 lie Oregon Mot hers.
Year after year the organized mothers of
University of Oregon undergraduates, and in
some eases graduates (sometimes both), non
tribute cash, time, energy, and-much con
structive thinking to the work of helping the
University and various corners of it. They
give cash contributions, some of which go
into (jrcck-letter house furniture and other
such projects, some of which goes for scholar
ships. They try to exchange ideas, and to keep
up with what is going on in the institution of
higher learning at which their sons and
daughters live most of the year. All in all
lliese women probably work harder among
themselves for the good of the University than
any other group which could be named.
Last week the Oregon Mothers rolled up
their sleeves and really went to work. Object :
to raise funds for Oregon Mothers’ scholar
ships, raised in 1939 from .$300 to $300 and
awarded each year to three worthy students.
In Portland every Oregon mother was asked
to give either a dessert bridge party or some
other kindred affair, at fifty cents a ticket.
This was to he the only money-raising project
this year for the mothers.
>l/f
JJO\\ the mothers came out in their en
deavors is not yet known. It is probable
that the money raised, while it will send a
lew students to school who otherwise might
not be able to go, would amount, to a rather
low wage rate for the time and effort the
mothers expended. If they did not take in
enough money last week it is certain they will
keep at it until I he job is done.
The Oregon 11 others serve without hope of
reward other than the satisfaction derived
from helping where they do. They hear little
about their service, yet they go ahead attack
ing new problems and turning in the same
fine record.
I he example ol the Oregon Mothers is
one any group should be proud to pattern
alter. Its record is a mark to shoot at.
The
World
At Large
By JACK BIKER
Who is Europe's number one
man of the hour?
Not Hitler, but Stalin. Con
sequently, in Russia lies the
greatest potential threat to the
worlil of tomorrow.
Some years ago, Floyd Gib
bons wrote a book in which he
prophesied the present war and
its aftermath.
He pictured the complete
disintegration of Germany, and
a broken down group of allies
that had spent their substance
in crushing the German men
ace.
Russia Conquers Eurojie
Then he graphically de
scribed Stalin driving the huge
Russian army in a steamroller
movement, .that swept across
Europe, with part of that Red
army occupying all nations on
tlic. continent.
Gibbons pictured the out
come. as a Russian defeat at
the hands of j\ rncrieas, who
fought rn masse against the in
vader. with tile last, battle be
big fought in our own North
west,
Fiction, you say, but how
else, besides using our nnag
issttta. cis \va predict ri i i
problematical outcome to nut
i.s happening across the Atlan
tic today.
Stalin knew that Hitler
would not attempt a second
world war without his moral
support, which he gave for no
other apparent reason than to
set a struggle in motion that
would eventually end in his fa
vor.
Stalin Slacks tin* Deck
Both Hitler and Stalin have
■anxiously coveted the Poland
wheat fields, and Russia needs
outlets to the sea as badly as
Germany does. Hut it looks as
though Stalin is playing the
more subtle game, with a knife
sharpened that i.s ready to be
plunged into the Austrian pa
perhangcr's back at any mo
ment.
Stalin may be stacking the
deck, but he can't keep a few
good cards from being dealt to
Japan. Manchuria and the Rus
sian border is a proverbial "bird
in the hand" to the Nipponese,
while China as a whole i.s the
"two in the bush," hence the
slowing up of hostilities in
China proper.
Kach nation is checked, so
that while they are fighting at
their front door, someone will
break in through the hack, and
if a few more sea pprts and
some acres of farm land are
the immediate prize, where will
it get them ... in the end V

Dancers Perform
November 20 in
McArthur Court
Ticket sales are moving in the |
educational activities office this
week as campus and city ballet
fans turn their attention to
ASUO’s second presentation in its
1939 Greater Artists’ series, the
Ballet Caravan, November 20.
Scheduled for McArthur court,
the all-American dancing troupe of
Lincoln Kirstein will provide a
free performance to all student
body card holders. Tickets for
non-card owners may be pur
chased at the ticket office in the
Igloo.
The humorous dance program
offered by the traveling group is
based on American ways of life
l and folklore. It strives, according
to Director Kirstein, to carry out
the general theme behind French
and Russian ballets.
ASUO's presentation of the Bal
let Caravan follows on the heels
of the personal appearance of
Lawrence Tibbett, American bari
tone, who started the Greater Art
ist series off last month with a
Eugene concert.
Four Alums Up
{Continued, from page one)
starting each new year following
this meeting.
Alumni also voted for appoint
ment by the president of 36 coun
ty directors who will lead the
group’s activities in their local
ity. County directors will serve
for three-year terms, appointment
of 12 to be made each year to
provide a carry-over in the admin
istration.
Elmer Fansett, alumni secre
tary, said yesterday that the de
cision of the group to appoint re
gional directors was a big step
forward in unification of the as
sociation over the state. “It will
enable the association to keep in
close contact with areas that are
not covered directly by an officer,
and in this way will aid projects
and work of the group,” he stat
