Homecoming plans arc now more than prospective. Actually the first Homecoming weekend since 1942. November 30, De cember 1 and 2 will be restored to its traditional place as the biggest event of fall term—if the students come through. Down to the last detail, Chairman Bill McLennan and his committeemen have scheduled a program designed to entertain returning alums. But the final impression that home-comers will take with them from Eugene Sunday night cannot rest solely with the committees. It appears that present-day students do. not realize the size and significance of Oregon’s Homecomings. In the fall of 41, the campus was crowded with 6000 visiting ex-Webfoots. Eight thousand alums returned to the "old school during the 1938 Homecoming. 'phis year’s schedule, as outlined by the chairman, will in clude the events which have figured in the memories of retmn in«r Oregon students in the past. Mum and Order of the O lun cheons and meetings, a program, rally, and bonfire, a little civil war football game, Homecoming dance, and an official welcome cirl will all make up the first peace-time Homecoming in four years. Among the living organizations, the customary banner •contest will be held. We do not wish to hear the members of the classes of the ]0's, 20’s, 30’s and 40’s lament the lack of spirit and enthusiasm of 1945 Web foots, for we know there is no lack but an occas sional dormancy. Here’s to the biggest Homecoming weekend conceivable—and a student body solidly behind it.

In local incidents and in affairs of international scope, the United States and the USSR are meeting problems which must be solved with mutual understanding if world organization and peace is to he possible. This situation is made plain to the Amer ican public almost daily in the news reports and columns of opinion. . Today Ceneral Victor A. Yakhontoff, who was a general m the Russian armv during World War I. will discuss the focal point of the situation: "Is Cooperation with USSR Possible? (General Yakhontoff was a member of the Russian general stall under the czar and later became assistant secretary of war in the Kerenckv government. Since 1929 he has visited Russia four times and has had a chance to sec the changes made by the Communist party. Whatever his opinions may he, they will be based on a back ground of close association with Russian affairs. His past ex periences in the Russian government give him the advantage over anyone who has made all his observations through re search and studv. Some Americans already are predicting an approaching con ilict with the Soviet union. Ceneral Yakhontoff may be expected to shed light on the possibilities of living with and liking the Russians.

'Debutante Dolores’Advised Damsels By TRUDIE CHERNIS and DORRIE HABEL THIRTY YEARS AGO “WOMEN ARE ALL RIGHT” “1 don’t see why a woman can’t be as good a reporter as a man, if not better, if she has the educa tion.” Those were the words of John L. Travis, news editor of the Ore gon Journal, during his lecture on “Journalism As a Profession,” given in Guild hall. “She should be able to cover a football game equally as well as a prizefight or any other kind of a story that could be covered by a man. I have known about a half-dozen women who could cover a story as good as any man.” “Oregon out-doped, out-exper ienced, out-weighed, is ready for O.A.C. but not licked, according to Coach Bezdeh.” Long headlines for the Homecoming game! The newest thing in women’s footwear by Schaefer Bros.: “These come in soft kid leather in 14 button style. Goodyear welt, Louis heel, and the new gypsy toes—$4.25. TWENTY YEARS AGO Homecoming and U. of O. vs. O.A.C. football game again lead j the news. “This is Oregon’s much sought realm of playing big at tendance football. Football enthus iasm is running higher than ever before. Attendances are larger all over the country, and Oregon has fallen in with the swing of things. Oregon is moving in the big league company for the first time in foot ball history so that it keeps the officials busy finding room for the spectators.” Parade, frosh fire rally, and smoker started off the eleventh Homecoming program. Even the rain was included: ‘‘Rain is an important factor in Oregon’s Homecoming. It gives the coeds a chance to wear their natural garb, sweat shirt, slicker, and galoshes. It prevents the foot ball players from becoming over heated and helps to revive them when they pass out. It has never failed to put a wet blanket on the opponents luck.” A few days later, despite high hopes, headlines ran: ‘‘O.A.C. Wins 24-13.” TEN YEARS AGO From the “Dependable advice fcr dismayed damsels” column by Debutante Dolores: Dear Dolores, I am a bit shy when writing this problem to you—but I hope you will understand.

The campus coeds at Mills col lege rolled up their blue jeans and let down their hair for the most hilarious dance of the year under the theme of Bit and Spur Barn Dance. From reports it lacked only the “characteristic odor.” The president’s office at Mills college called upon a certain coed to serve tea during a not able occasion and was shocked into polite silence by her answer ... it ran this way—“Since the physical education department (whew) ddisn’t allow activity cuts this year, I’m afraid I can’t oblige!” Stanford’s eighth war loan drive is continuing as the Cellar bond booth sold stamps and bonds and auctioned the faculty much hs the University did. Class elections were declared un constitutional at Texas Christian university after the council elec tion committee found that stu dents had been voting for student body offices and offices other than those of their respective classes.

University of California super salesmen parked themselves on the steps of a campus building last week and proceeded to do a land office business for a few days sell ing bubble liquid. University offi cials soon found out about it, and the bubble vendors were forced to tcave by campus police. Olsen and Johnson, laff team of “Laffing Room Only,” and a troupue from that current Chicago stage play kicked-off for North western’s Victory Bond drive. The newest thing in dance decorations was introduced by the Kappas at Indiana univer sity last week.

While the nation is wrestling with the problem of providing full employment, students may see the signs of things to come and prepare themselves to meet future demands. A well-planned program calls for some serious consideration of individual courses before the date of registration. Within the next six weeks, each student has had the time to map out his course for winter term. If he is taking a subject merely as a filler or because he thinks it is a pipe, he should look for a more valuable substitute now. Unless each term contributes something to each person’s education and preparation for earning a living, the whole four vears may just become a period of marking time. feet is spoiled for me because I am in agony for fear my lipstick will be smeared when I come into the sorority house or worse yet, fear it will have left an imprint upon the lips of my date. Sometimes when I feel that the man is about to kiss me I wipe off the lipstick with my handker chief—before succumbing — but somehow the romantic glint in his eyes dies down in the mean time. Dolores, please tell me what to do, I am sure other girls on the campus would also like your advice on this subject. H. D. Dear H.D. My advice to a complication as ponderous as yours would be to wear a scant amount of any lip rouge on evenings when you be lieve such a situation will arise. However, I realize there are times of love at first sight, and' to this I would say, kiss and make up your face later, if there is such a case you will be too engulfed in -yourselves to even notice ot-JlSJt people are smirking at your friv olity, and with each other, love is blind.

By BETTY JANE BENNETT Nathan Milstein has done it again . . . this time it’s the “Sym phony Espagnole” of Lalo. His fine performance as an artist on the Concert Series a few years ago completely won Oregon students and a repeat performance can be heard in his new recording of this celebrated Spanish symphony. In my opinion, there is no finer interpretation of this concerto on wax. Mr. Milstein’s liquid tone and rousing spirit give much lustre to the highly-spiced music. Backed by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia orchestra, this record ing is a must. Eddy Album In sipte of his increasing age and Hollywoodish mannerisms, Nelson Eddy’s performances on records continue to attract much deserved attention. For devotees of light opera and encore numbers, his latest album will prove inter esting. .Arranged as a miniature con-K cert, the album includes: “WiCL^*' out A Song,” and “Great Day” from the musical show “Great Day;” “Red Rosey Bush” and “Frog Went A-Courtin’,” folk songs from the Appalachian Moun tains; “My Message” and “Be cause,” by Guy d’Hardelot; and “I Love You” and “Strange Music,” both from the operetta “Song of Norway.” Mr. Eddy is good on folk tunes, and the two contained in this album are out standing.
