Gift Problems?
With only 26 shopping days left until Christmas, the annual
problem of “What to get?” presents itself.
An immediate solution to the gift problem can be found at
the Art Bazaar. This annual exhibit features original stud
ent creations from almost every department of the art school.
Any of the articles on exhibition are for sale at a reasonable
price.
The prospective gift buyer can find a selection of original
paintings, landscapes, still lifes, or portraits; ceramics, deco
rated pottery bowls, tiles, and hand woven place mats.
In addition to solving the problem of Christmas gifts, the
customer will help contribute to a proposed scholarship for an
outstanding art student. D. D.
-Out of Focus
Columnist Speculates on Who
Done Us Wrong; Guesses Idaho
The voting is over, California
is in the Rose Bowl and there is
a bad taste in the mouths of Ore
gon supporters. On the gridiron
the Webfoots were never out
fought, but at the conference ta
ble they were out-“politicked.”
Orlando J. Hollis, the Oregon
faculty representative, may not
be from West Virginia, but like
Jim Aiken, he, too, will not for
get a slight. And you can bet
your boots that there will be
some drastic changes made in the
Pacific Coast conference set-up.
The big question as to who vot
ed for whom probably will never
be made public because it might
.put some schools “on the spot.”
These schools are obviously
ashamed of the way they voted,
for a clear conscience certainly
never worries about being “put
on the spot.”
In my own opinion, and I'm
sure that those “in the know”
will agree, the vote stacked up
like this: For California—IJCL.A,
USC, Washington, Stanford, Cal
ifornia and Idaho. For Oregon:
Oregon State, Washington State,
Montana and Oregon.
It was expected that Washing
ton would go along with the solid
south, although it’s certainly dif
ficult to see what Washington
has in common with the Califor
nia schools.
Idaho, who was extremely bit
ter after the Oregon game at
Moscow, figured that they should
have beaten the Webfoots. That
was a minor reason for voting for
California. The second, and more
important reason was the fact
that the Vandal outfit was scared
to death that they were going to
get thrown out of the conference.
As long as politics instead of
the relative merits of the teams
was going to decide the issue,
Idaho should have remembered
that it was Orlando J. Hollis who
was largely responsible for Idaho
being a member of the circuit.
Well, it won’t happen again.
The conference will make some
revolutionary changes in the
rules, providing for playoffs IF
the conference is not shaved
down to eight members. If it is
shaved down, it will be Idaho and
Montana who will get the boot,
and every other team in the
league will play each other
throughout the regular season.
As for the race this fall, it
boils down to this: California got
weaker during the season while
Oregon got stronger. I KNOW,
as do some of the schools who
voted the other way, that the
Ducks are the champions of the
PCC. I take my football seriously,
and I’m a poor sport when it
comes to being “out slickered.”
Come January first, the second
place Big Nine will trounce the
second place Coast team, and it
won’t hurt nay feelings. The Rose
Bowl game was played at Ann
Arbor, Michigan, on October 2.

There is just one consoling
thought in regard to the selec
tion of California over Oregon
■for the Rose Bowl assignment by
those mysterious and secretive
faculty representatives: It is Cal
ifornia that is on the spot and
that will collect the razzberries
in case of an unfavorable show
ing against Northwestern on New
Year's day.
If Oregon had recieved the call,
we folks up here admittedly
would have passed several un
easy weeks, not out of concern
for the opinion of the nation in
the event of a poor game but out
of concern for the leering re
marks from our sister state.
Those remarks under the cir

and they would be as certain as

Despite That'Slight' There's
Much for Which to be Thankful
By Hal Bayle
(AP Columnist)
NEW YORK — (AP)—There
are many things to be grateful
for this Thanksgiving, not in
cluding the price of turkey.
For example, everybody can
still afford a cranberry.
So let the cost of the drum
stick soar. It’ll take more than
that to turn the 1948 Thanksgiv
ing into a turkey. We can always
give the traditional bird a tra
ditional bird—and pick something
besides pinfeathers out of our
teeth.
Forget the turkey. Let's count
a few real blessings to be thank
ful for:
The election is over, and it is
now possible to turn on a radio
without hearing a politician run
ning for office on his vocal cords,
The longshoremen’s strike tied
up scores of vessels, but the ship
of state is still rocking along on
an even keel.
Congress is out of session.
The new look isn’t getting any
longer.
Nobody has started a post-sea
son football contest called “The
Soup Bowl.”
More stores are stocking two
pants suits.
It has been weeks since any
body was bitten by a mad English
sparrow or struck by lightning in
a barroom.
The goose hangs high in the
land. Everybody is working, go
ing to college, or waiting for the
army to call him and end his
housing problem.
The hay fever season is over
and the real pneumonia weather
hasn’t set in.
The business depression pre
dicted for 1949 hasn’t arrived.
The financial Cassandras who
forecast it have joined the polit
ical pollsters on the mourner’s
bench—or else taking lessons in
astrology.
The ghost is still walking every
payday. Most bosses are meeting
their payrolls on time, including
the biggest of all—the govern
ment. It sends checks now to
about one out of every six •fami
lies.
Television programs are bet
ter. Some nights not a single
wrestling match shows up on the
screen.
Lumber is getting plentiful.
Soon a man will be able to afford
to be buried in a pine coffin!

So many motor cars are being),
turned out that by 1951 everybody!
who can’t afford a car will be able[
to buy one anyway.
Russia hasn’t taken another|
European country all year.
Lana Turner has quit wearing
sweaters.
The U. S. army, three years af
ter the war, has a new mediufn
tank in the field equal to any
thing, the Germans had in 193^.
American combat veterans would
have been even more thankful if
they had had a tank like that ih
the battle of the Bulge.

when a woman enters. »
Pretzels are in good supply, i
The United Nations delegates
are still arguing about atom

Yes, all in all, there’s a lot t(j
be thankful for. Everybody work

of peace. 1
Here's a Real 'Natural'--Ducks
And Wolverines in Sugar Bowl
By Vinita Howard
Now we can understand how
Dewey felt November 3.
Oregon seems to be taking a
beating every place this month.
First Dewey’s defeat (Califor
nians voted for Truman which
just goes to show . . .) and now
Oregon gets the heave-ho from
the Rose Bowl. Maybe we don’t
use the right brand of toothpaste.
We still think the new name
idea advanced early last week
for the Rose Bowl would be quite
appropriate. Let’s call it the Bud
Bowl since neither of this year’s
teams quite deserve the title of
full-blossomed roses.
This column started out to be
a commentary on the national po
litical scene, however, events of
the past few weeks (remember
the DuShane plan) have led away
from the traditional political
lights. At any rate, no one in
Oregon is interested today in na
tional housing: all we want is a
place to hang our helmet come
January 1.
We wonder if the Fathers of
the Sugar Bowl are as fast to
see a “natural” as they’re sup
posed to be. If they are, there
should be no question in their
minds as to what teams to invite
south in 1949. We mean, of course,
Michigan and Oregon.
Sportswriters have been pre
dicting for the last three years
that the Sugar Bowl was fast be
coming a bigger bowl than the
Rose Bowl. That’s why it seems
that this year would be the ideal
year to make that prediction a
fact. And, what more could be
asked than that the nation’s num
ber one team should be pitted
against a co-champion coast
team which earlier in the year
came close to giving the Wolver
ines a loss. The game would be
especially interesting because
both the Ducks and Wolverines
were not given the Rose Bowl bid
due to out-dated rules.
Oregon should be receptive to
such a game since it would give
the Webfoots a chance to show
California, and Michigan, who
spoke such high words of praise
for Oregon should also welcome
the chance to make a little new
year money. It’s too bad that the
l?t!C doesn’t wake up to the fact
that the nation is tired of seeing
coast schools being defeated by
large scores in what is supposed
to be the top game of the year..
One consolation to we northern^
y
ers is that after this year thi
of the four California schools i-’
the PCC will have appeared in tip
Pasadena bowl successively (n
successfully) maybe next year i
at least the year after California
will again admit the six northern
division schools to the union. ♦
