After “The Girl You Most Want to Come Home lV’ has given them the official welcome, many of Oregon s Homecoming alumni will find themselves surrounded by old familiar places and no familiar faces. Their return may be quite different fioni that pictured in fancy. In typical Oregon fashion we have named a welcome girl to represent all present-generation Ducks, but we can’t delegate friendliness to one person or group of persons. Our guests will not he so wrapped up in memories of past days that they won’t want to meet the Ducks of today. 1 heir interest in Oregon now will be made clear when they make the trip to Eugene to visit their favorite campus. Let’s include them in all the activities—not just allow them to enter a campus social function. We don t need any campaign for a cheery greeting for every alum who attends Homecoming. Our friendliness will he shown in small courtesies and in formality in our contacts with them. 1 his is a reunion for the Web foot family. Webfoots planning to attend the Homecoming game have been repeated! v requested to make the short trip to the Educa tional Activities office for the special — and gratis tickets necessary for admittance to Haywarddield Saturday. Presenta tion of a student body card and 7'/e minutes are the only lcquiie ment. Issued for the purpose of determining in advance the number of students to be present in the rooting section, the tickets will assist the activities office in handling the capacity crowd ex pected at the "civil war” match. Of the 2800-odd students in the University, 710 have roused themselves to obtain the special tickets. In order to avoid waiting lines and an unnecessary amount of confusion, students ate urged to get the tickets before Friday morning. Mot equipped with a goon squad, blackjacks, or wrist-twisting methods, Frances Gifford, ticket manager, resorts to a plea to the sympathy of the students to get their rooting-section tickets for the Oregon-OSC game—now. Oregon rooters will put on no dress parade for Homecoming this year. All-campus Social Chairman Louise Goodwin has an nounced that coeds will wear campus clothes to the game despite the special occasion. In making this ruling the social chairman recalled that Oregon State set a campus-clothes style for the game at Corvallis al though Dads' Weekend made it a special occasion. Oregon State students face the same travel difficulties we did then, and they may expect us to return the favor. Oregon coeds mav consider themselves lucky to avoid the accent on dress that the 1 lomecoming game usually brings forth. They have been well satisfied with the campus-clothes order at previous games. I'nder the guise of a favor to the Oregon Staters, the order puts the game ahead of fashion and beauty and lets the coeds enjoy their final game of the season. “As every modern psychologist knows,' he says, "character is the big thing for which the public schools should aim. Top notch educational experts tell me that the answer lies with properly directed emotional visual education. 1 he Daily J ex am University of Texas, Austin, Texas. Stating that he is opposed to "babying" or “amusing" chil dren, Mr. llabson says that he even believes the bamboo stick and black walnut ruler should be restored as a part of the pub lic school system. Hotel 0a Record I i i On the Jazz Side By JIM “POPS” WINDUS I have just been reading the results’ of the first tabulation of both the Down Beat and the Met ronome polls. And what did I find? Well, for one thing, my boy, Woody Herman is out in front in both polls, in the fav swing band and large band push. But to boot it home that he has the top crew of 1945, his sidemen are in top spot or close to top, in the fav in strumentalists’ selection. Bill Harris leads the hot tram spot, Flip Phillips for tenor spot (the Hawk paces first on Metro nome, Auld, second), Dave Tough on skins. Chubby Jackson on bass, with Frances Wayne running be hind Billie Holiday and Sweet Anita O’Day for chirp with a band. Of course, these are only the first returns, and only contained some where around 100 ballots, but it does give an idea of how the vot ing is going. More Returns Would you like some of the other returns ? Well, you are going to get them anyway. So relax, and enjoy it. Johnny Hodges leads for altos, and will finish in first place. He is still in a fine groove. Benny Carter and newcomer Charley Parker will be close, however. Ziggy Elman leads the Beat poll; why, I never will know. Dizzy Gillespie or Char lie Shavers or Emmet Berry can cut him any day or night. In the key slot, Teddy Wilson and Mel Powell are cutting it out, with Johnny Guarnieri (I can’t pronounce it either) easing in third. Oscar Moore is tops for git box hipsters, with his boss, King Cole, taking tops in small combo stuff. The Duke, Sy Oliver, and Ralph Burns, from Herman’s Herd, are in as arrangers. Guess who is in at the clary chair? I can't imagine either. Where, oh where, is.Ed Hall arid his fine stick. What, you haven’t heard him? He cuts mostly for Commodore, plays a lot like Goodman used to play; very direct, some subtlety, but nice and clean. Sinatra and Crosby Der Bingle and “Daddy” Sina tra are going to it for male vocal ist spot. Bing had better watch out or Frank will catch up to him in this numerous children kick. If he holds up, that is, it looks as if B. C. will cop the fav soloist spot. Another perennial, he and the flowers. Good to hear that Eddie Miller and his fine combo is going to play for Homecoming Saturday night. Dug his work this summer and the crew really kicks. Has a Dixieland combo within the large band, and they are reminiscent of the Bobcat days with Crosby, the one called Bob. Leaving South Gate The band just concluded a run at the Trianon in South Gate, where they were getting fine raves. Metronome comes forth with the exciting news that Irving Fazola, clary great who has been living in New Orleans for the last several years, and refusing to leave the old home, has finally con sented to leave. Supposed to have joined about the fifth. Nate Kaze bier, noted hot trumpeter with B. G., and others also joined. So, come on kids and dig that riff, dig that beat, you’ll get knocked out on your feet. Well, guess I’ll cut out about here. I’m beat and stuff. Will be back after the holidays with a lot of news and views about the band situation. Merry Xmas and a Sloppy New Year. Take five, boys . . .

No one understands me. People say I am nuts. Someone said there is no one nuttier. That is a lie. I have three exam ples which are not only nuttier, they make money out of it as well. Number one is Allen Smith, he who searches for a pillow stuffed with belly button lent. Number two is Ogden ‘parsley is gharstley’ Nash. Number three is William Steig. Smith says in prose what Nash says in verse what Steig says in cartoons. Smith cashes in on twenty-some odd years as a newspaperman. Naturally, when he writes the truth about what goes on in the newspaper business, people think he has a fantastic imagination. Nash writes crazy verses frown ed upon by sophisticates, but Tie merely smiles because he makes lots of money. If Nash would only quit being bad he could become very good and probably very poor. Steig is a man that can show us what we are without drawing anything that looks even slightly human. He uses about five words with each ‘thing.’ There is only one thing crazier than Smith, Nash, and Steig. It is Detroit. Detroit found an ebony citizen named ‘Sugar Chile’ John ston, age seven, who plays boogie woogie like Stacy Trent. Yeah, that’s right . . . Detroit is making money on him too—he’s teamed up with Van Johnson in a forthcoming movie. Maybe it pays to be nuts.
