Oh Knocked-Out Fall!
Once again the leaves are turning tobacco brown, with just
enough red and yellow to make them resemble brown-red-and
yellow leaves. Once again fall is with us. We read in the papers
that fall elsewhere hasn’t been pleasant. In fact it snowed in New
York. Which doesn’t really mean anything because it didn’t snow
in Alabama.
What a wonderful season fall is. ,To many it is “the” season.
Meaning that days are crisp and crackly, fires are crackly and
•warm, and everything is wonderful. Soon a tawny blanket of half
golden leaves will cover the campus, burying beneath its rich
bued cover streets of drab asphalt and old “election” posters that
are still “lying in the grass.”
Everyone looks forward to fall. Of . course when it’s here
everyone looks forward to spring. And . . .when in the cinema,
everyone looks forward to see the screen. But that s not really
our point. Our point is that it’s fall again. Wonderful!! Joyous
•lull!!
Fall, with its squirrels (little Teddy too) and nuts and stuff.
Fall, with its fine young men beat each other’s brains out on
the football greensward. Fall!!
But what about spring you ask ? Ah ... that’s a good question.
What ABOUT spring? And, we answer, our collective thoughts
residing in the vicinity of ail imagined bock beer vat, how the
heck should we know !! It’s fall . . . doesn’t that satisfy you?
Revival With Reason
A week from today the campus will begin its annual glad
handed, back-slapping weekend, dedicated to all alums and their
dear dead days beyond recall.
Benny's boys and girls have planned a Homecoming weekend
that will make all previous weekends shrink with pale inferiority.
This is going to be stupend, magnif, sensash—in fact, nothing but
good! You can take it from Benny.
This is going to be the biggest revival of pre-war extravagan
zas this campus has seen, you bet! We’re going to revive the noise
parade, the bonfire, old traditions, and everything. This weekend
is really designed to make the old grads proud of their old school
And if the Class of ’23 gazes with some bewilderment at the
quonset huts and defense plant housing, well . . . that will only
make the visitors realize that, despite Deady, Yillard, and the
old traditions, Oregon is growing and progressing.
1 f this is madness, then there’s method to it. For how can Ore
gon continue to progress and grow without the continued enthus
iastic support of her alumni? To he specific, every attempt will
be made to persuade the visitors that what Oregon really needs
fight now is a student union building.
oeriousiy now, every student is aware ot tne actual daily
necessity of a student union building. It will be the responsibility
of each individual student in his own way to make this clear to the
Homecoming weekend guests. If bonfires, noise parades, and the
singing of nostalgic school and fraternity songs around a fire
place will help create the “welcome home” atmosphere for the
alumni, then by all means let us put the show over. Let us by all
means have the biggest brightest hottest bonfire ever, and the
longest, loudest, gayest parade ever, and the smoothest most
romantic dance, and in addition the most exciting gridiron spec
tacle ever.
But let’s not forget the real purpose because, after all, it’s the
most commendable, most useful, most necessary purpose ... a
.Home for Homecoming.
One To a Customer
With approximately 40% of the students living outside of
campus living organizations, the problem of equal Emerald dis
tribution is not a solved one.
Daily the press produces a sufficient number of copies to
accommodate a student body of over 5600. Vet daily, between one
and two thousand students do not receive their copies of Oregon s
newspaper.
Investigation reveals that the fault does not lie with the
business staff. Emeralds are distributed daily (on a quota basis)
to the living organizations and dormitories. The remainder are
placed in the Co-op for distribution to ASUO members living in
homes and apartments off the campus. Yet the slip twixt the cup
and the lip occurs there. Off-campus dwellers complain that the
supply at the Co-op is not visible after 10 a,In.
As purchasers of ASUO student cards, these students have
every right to complain—but not to the Emerald. The dearth of
available Emeralds is obviously due to the fact that members of
campus living organizations, having failed to read the copy deliv
ered to their house or dorm, appropriate Co-op copies before the
off-campus students are supplied.
Plans are in the making to deliver Emeralds at the trailer
and housing units, yet the immediate problem can only be solved
by consideration on the part of the students. To be painfully clear,
students in dorms or houses are firmly requested to respect the
“hands off” implication carried by Co-op copies of the Emerald.

at-large are privileged to contribute. The “As We See It” column, deal

nature. Contributions should be addressed to the editor.
By ROY FRANCIS
Then its, Flo! for the races; give us the greatest steeds, the
shiniest armor, the stoutest hearts: the noblest ideals are already
ours. For we are about to engage in a crusade, a fight even unto
the finish. Out of the atomization of nationalities, we are going
to create One World.
Like the brave knights of old, from whence cometh our inspir
ation, we are set to do battle with a new form of dragons, and a
a new lady-love is breathlessly awaiting our arrival and her sub
sequent salvation. We shall engage in a bitter struggle with pre
judices ; we shall force the fight unto them. We shall knock them
about, tromple them under foot, and, like, unto the serpent, we
shall drive them into the dust until they are no more.
Militant strategenarians, we; the tactics are evolved, the plans
readied. We await only the signal before we loose the flood of
righteous intellectual rvrath upon the unholy forces of power
politics; the signal and the support, that is. We are pausing only
for breath, our valiant steeds gnawing at their bits. We are
anxious for the fray. But before we too hastily embark upon this
great venture, leave that we should regroup and reconnoitre.
Leave that we should investigate ourselves; we, the stompers
of serpents, the tramplers and destroyers of prejudice. Before we
embark, before we become anxious for a signal to retreat, let us
see if we are equipped to do battle with the followers of Kali. A
pertinent question in inspection prior to overt action, methinks,
is this: De we, as students and as citizens of “one world” possess
an integrated, or any kind of, scale of values? Not only do we put
first things first, but do we put second things seconds, and third
things third? Our collective actions hereabout belie the motives
of purest gold. We seem to be at a loss a to what we are supposed
to be doing as college level students. Before we attempt to create
one world, let us make certain that the individual is composed of
only one personality.
