/M-Student Committee."
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.

“Cooperative efforts have sharply reduced the clashes., and
no fatal altercations have occurred for three weeks . . .. the
Associated Press reported vestcrday in connection with Russo
American altercations in the United States occupation zone of
Berlin.
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.

“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!

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.”

With Jan Garber and his orches

Homecoming Weekend celebration
at University of California at
Berkeley is expected to be a ter

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!”

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

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

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.
Dolores.

On the Classical Side ...
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. This set consists of four
ten-inch records.
