And it is manifesting itself. All anyone has to do to satisfy even the most skeptical nature is to make a trip to the University library any night. At the library will be found every desk filled, every seat occupied, every cubbyhole crowded with learners, and in the halls a roaming pack of unsuccessful searchers for seat, desk, cubbyhole, or stone step. The libe is fairly bulging these days and nights, in truth, crowded to the limit. This of course happens each term, shortly after mid terms, when the rush assumes capacity pro portions, so this year is not particularly an exception, although swelling enrollment helps. Even with the new library, with its greatly in creased facilities, the crush of numbers is terrific. * * * 'yyilAT would be ideal, of course, would be for every student to work out a program so as to study all term long with equal vigor; at any rate the rush might be spread out over the term and not crowded into the last month or three weeks. Hut human nature is not built that way, and the ideal is never the actual. The libe is crowded now and will be until Christ mas. What to do when the rush comes is not so easy to decide. For many who have good study facilities at their living quarters and no particular use for library books or other fa cilities it will probably mean studying at home. Anything is better than tramping the halls and waiting for someone to leave. There is not that much time around to waste. One complaint which has been heard al ready. although its validity is naturally diffi cult to track down, is that sororities are hold ing their study tables at the library rather than in Ihe houses. This would multiply the library load, if true. Another complaint is that freshmen and other lower division students are making use of the upper division rooms for their purposes, which is not only contrary to library regulations but unfair to the upper division whose load is heavier. * # * pKOBABLY the best measure of the amount of studying going on at the University is to he found right here at its intellectual heart —the library. It is now fairly obvious that the rush is already in full swing, although it may yet increase to further cram the libe with crammers. • About the only advice which can be of fered is that a sense of fairness prevail, so I hat sleeping will he done at home, in bed, dating he done otherwise, and those who can study at home do so, in order that those who are forced to make use of the library for reference or other special books may do so. A library-consciousness might help to iron things out. Incidentally, it, is good to see a library crowded, it means something is being accom pl ished. Clubbing the Way Through to Peace 17VE11Y once in a wltilo, whenever a sub ject in which (here is more Ilian one school of thought is handled, something is likely 1o he said which may go much against 1 he grain of a meniher of one of the rival camps. Aliy faelion is likely to gel this idea in relation to its own interests, depending upon what psychologists call their “menial sc I ’ at t he time. The “mental set" was right for a ease in point today, as witness the outburst of one. irale letter writer, who slopped short of delv ing into opposition ancestry, at the same time making some rather positive statements. 11 is entire letter is “In the Mail” today. Occasion ior this tirade was one of the Em erald's rare non-campus editorials, lids par ticular one being on the subject of peace “fronts,” appearing a week and a half ago. This editorial, our letter writer decided, smacked of rank heresy; in fact, it was an attack on the “Leavenworth club”—about which nothing at all is known save that the name appears at the end of spasmodic yellow paper bulletins, mostly about keeping out of war. The language is highly colorful. K # AS for the editorial itself, it seemed self explanatory at 1 he time, and still stands. Its concluding statement was that “fronts iiiji.v or iiki y not Im t i i ck hiiswit,'’ No refutation ol the letter writer's ar«*u mrnl is herein intended. Name-calling is one ol the oldest propaganda devices, lint it might lie pointed out that what lie does not say" is what, good it docs to be just ‘'ag'in” war, let ting il go ;tt 1 lift 1. Things are not lluit .simple these days, and there must lie a strong' pro gram to have any effect. The 1 rouble with the peace front people, ■whether they like to hear it or not, is that they are doing exactly what the Germans and their head man want done, perhaps unknow ingly and unwillingly. The Germans can al ways use another pacifist. In fact, their only hope is that other peoples will not have the w ill to fight them until it is too late. Chamber lain almost waited too long. # # ■JJNKOltT! NATEM , and it is no fault of the Emerald or any other such small group, it is not a time of promise for the pacifist. They lace great odds, and their light is shaded under dark, dark clouds. Nobody "ants Avar, but there is a limit to what they will put up with. The day of “peace at any price” is past, for such an escape would be, if practical, un acceptable with the present temper of the nation. There are plenty of valid indicators to establish this in regular opinion survevs. As far as the “Leavenworth Club” is con cerned. the Emerald is not conscious that it, had the opportunity to refuse to print the program of that no doubt worthy, but never theless unknown, aggregation. Were the op portunity to be at lorded, the (pieslion to arise would be: is tin* Emerald justitied in giving such space to any such movement, even I hough l lie “movement consisted only of a couple of “the boys. ' an idea, bitter prejudices, and a case of type. In the Mail PHOOEY ON THE EMERALD To the Editor: Two or three clays late, some one drew my attention to an editorial of yours 1 it led "Drown ing war with floods of fronts','' in which you take gentle c rac ks at the Leavenworth elub. Several weeks past I gave up looking for enlightenment or entertainment in your editorial columns, or 1 would have dis covered it myself, hut perhaps it is not too late to analyze it and see just what you have to . ay on the subject of slaying out of war. In the first paragraph you reveal, in a few thousand well chosen words, that a war is go mg on in Europe and that Iota of Americans don't want any part of it. Mo far so good. Ib'-h ett .i i t'oio tb" .J;'t it was clear the war had uo fricmls on this side of tne wa ter." That is a statement of doubtful truth. In the first state ment of the platform of the Leavenworth club, submitted to and rejected by you a month or so ago, it was pointed out that ttie European war has many friends in this country, and that many of them are in high places. Roosevelt himself, by pushing over his repeal of the arms em bargo, turning the United States into a munitions factory for England and France and thus releasing millions of Tommies and poilus for the firing lines, has demonstrated that he be lieves war is a legitimate way to settle international differences; and this in spite of the fact that he still gives lip service to peace. The rest of the editorial, ex cept that part devoted to the Leavenworth club, of which more In a minute, drivels on into aimless generalizations. \ lot of peace front. " have been formed, you say, and it i doubt ful if I hey will keep Aineru 1 out of war, in spile of then good intention; bv.au.t t i. luiowj the ruad to hell u, paved with good intentions. By and large, if the tone of the editorial were not so defeat ist it would lie innoeuous. It seems to me that, if people are really opposed to war. now is the time to say so, before war starts and we are muzzled. The more people who put themselves on reeord as refusing to engage in “organized murder,” a term at which you sneer, the more hesitant will be our rulers to wave the flag and order us into uniform. As for the “juicy, time-tested terms," which the Leavenworth club bulletins use: to be a paci fist involves no obligation to invent t new language. By ridi culing the term "imperialism." and pointing out tha' it is hack neyed. you are not eliminating ilsexistence. But it more people understood the term, with all it : vicious connotations, then its day - of existence would be that much shortened. .1 could carry this on to much greater length, but I know that 'on have space limitations.

What a vacation that was . . . after dinner every one went into hibernation until Saturday night ... IN PORTLAND there were a few Oregons at Wally Rossman's Uptown deal, and quite a few at Maurie Binford’s dance in the Multnomah, if they wanted to pay highway robbery prices .... But all that was last Thanks giving. THIS TIME there will be no vacation and no celebra tion except the nickel hop . . . But then that won’t be so bad either, if some of the BETTER houses keep the first team on the field instead of upstairs . . . This Thanksgiving should prob ably be used to give thanks to those who arranged the sched ule of no more holidays until Christmas . . . and unless some or.c moves the date up, there will be nothing to celebrate un til after finals, which, of course is worth celebrating. * ■* * Another bit of gossip is that there will be seven more Emer alds after this issue . .. the next three days of this week and De cember 5, 6, 7, and 8 . . .

Isabelle Stanley, Alpha Chi, gets Earl Fortmiller’s Beta pin, according to last week’s re ports. The poor THETAz are trying, oh so hard, to get back their dummies, why doesn’t some one break down and tell them the truth. Contributed: The turkey that got a stay of execution will hang Thursday. During wanderings last week some one revealed that the Pi Phi's Heidi sends home Emer alds. So for everyone's benefit a complete report follows. Joanne, junior, very active in activities doesn’t date much. Nancy, flush, good date, a Pi Phi as is her older sister, live in the Grant neighborhood in Portland.

Many of the leaders in this field were in other professions before they took up song writ ing. Leo Robin and Ralph Rain gcr were both lawyers when they started producing hits . . . Billy Hill, who wrote many famous songs, has been every thing from a hobo to a Fifth Avenue doorman. The principal of his home town school said that he would never amount to anything. A few years later Bil ly Hill made some $60,000 from sales of “The Last Round Up" and "There’s an Old Spin ning Wheel in the Corner.” If Guy Lombardo plays a new song it’s almost sure to become a hit. Guy is noted for his un canny ability to pick songs that will be successes—he played "The Three Little Fishies” the first time it was ever on the air. Movies Of the new ditties, "It's the Whole New Thing" really clicks . . . "Double Solitaire” has clever lyrics. Larry Clinton is still playing "Shadrach” ev ery week. He must like it a lot . . . Bob Crosby has a good re cording of the Hit Parade fa vorite. "Lilacs in the Rain” . . . "Shoot the Sherbets to Me, Herbert" is a title I still like to roll across my tongue. Bell, Four Times Jimmie Fidler gives four bells to Kay Kyscr's new pic ture, "That's Right, You're Wrong." which is certainly something for Mr. Fidler who is usually quite miserly with his bells.

BO LONG. p omeroy’s New Associated P!2 tbs Ca!12D’JS By BOV METZLEB War!! Erich Remarque’s “All Quiet on the Western Front” returns to Eu gene for a three-day re-run at the McDonald, starting tomorrow. Clearly depicting the horror of war, this film is being re-issued through out the country to make America realize that she must stay out of the current European conflict. Young Lew Ayres who is now known for his “Dr. Kildare” roles gained his first leading role in “All Quiet on the Western Front” and his performance raised him to star rating. The late Louis Wolheim wiU always be remembered for his fine portrayal in the picture. Actual World War scenes of fighting liven the picture and tend to make it ap pear more realistic. Little Tough Guys Billy Halop, leader of the Dead End Kids turns in his lower New Y„ork guise for a telegraph mes senger’s uniform in “Call a Mes senger” billed for the Heilig start ing Thursday. The film centers around the experiences of the mes senger boys and the variety of ser vice they render. Featured players include Huntz Hall, the Little Tough Guys, Mary Carlisle, Rob ert Armstrong, and Anne Nagel. Second Buns Both second run houses in town, the Rex and the Mayflower, have outstanding bills. Screening at the Rex are “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Law of the Pampas.” “Hell’s Kitchen” is the usual story of the poor kids in New York and although the kids always do the same stuff it is an entertaining picture. Considered as one of the strong est bidders for the Academy award, “Mr. Smith Goes to Wash ington” moves over to the May flower for a week’s run. This is truly another Frank Capra master piece and just as much educational as entertaining—in fact it is the next best thing to a trip to Wash ington. One reason why Capra’s pictures are top-notchers is the fact that he will keep shooting one scene until it is perfect. Many short scenes in “Mr. Smith” took an entire day of shooting which is expensive and hard on the players. But with the results he obtains nobody cares how long he shoots or how much he spends as boxoffice receipts al ways soar with a Capra production. Superstitious Jeanette MacDonald is supersti tious and prefers to play char acters whose names begin with M or N, preferably M. Ever since "Naughty Marietta’’ Miss Mac Donald has endeavored to have a character which was either Mary or some form of Mary. First came Marietta of "Naugh ty Marietta,’’ then Hose-Marie, then Mary Blake in "San Fran cisco,” then Mary in "Girl of the Golden West,” and Mary Hale in "Broadway Serenade.” In her lat est film, “New Moon,” now in pro duction, she is Marianne. Home Wreckers A completely furnished five room house was demolished before the cameras in Hollywood this week to provide a thrill for movie audiences. More than 100 men worked for | three weeks to build the frame building and painters spent a week properly “ageing” it. The place : was destroyed in exactly eight minutes. The scene was one for i “Grapes of Wrath” and pictured 1 that scene where the land inter ests take over the share-croppers’ homes. John Qualen drove a tractor into ' the house. Henry Fonda and John | Carradine were in the structure at the time, and ran forth as the first timber s started to fall. Subscribe to the Emerald for the folks at home.
