We gaze up at old Deady hall and try to visualize it in 1876—standing all alone in a grassy field. We read of the struggles and hardships undergone by those ■who have built our institution. And we’re probably sitting back and saying, “They’ve done a good job.’’ This is fine, for a minute or two. Then let our thoughts return to the present—and go on into the future. If the University people of 25 years back had, on the school’s 50th anniversary, said “We’ve done a good job.” and just left _ it there, there’d be no library, new science building, no Stu dent Union, no increase in curriculum, no additional faculty members. Xo, we should during this day of celebration of our 75 years of progress think ahead and plan for the future. The realiza tion of the work done before us should inspire us only to forge ahead—toward our goal of giving the best possible education to Oregon’s young men and women. Now, after 75 years of building this University of ours, let’s start work on another 75 years of progress. Time For a Trial? We’re happy to see that the ASUO cabinet is considering an honor system for the Oregon campus. Frankly, we don’t think a campus-wide honor system has much chance for success here. On a campus where cheating is tradition, the sudden shift brought by an honor system might be too great a temptation. Admittedly chances for success are slim. But now is as good a time as any to give the system a trial. If cheating continues under the new system it won’t take the professor more than one test to find out. If the cheating should stop, then the system is a success; and we'll have something of which we can be proud. Although a campus-wide system might perhaps be a fruit less experiment, we see absolutely no reason why upper division students should not be given this trust. Juniors and seniors have already undergone a vigorous weeding-out process. By the time they reach upper division status they realize that they must make the most of their courses, not operate on a test-to test, class-to-class basis. Eventually the plunge must be taken. Why not find out now if the system will survive on this campus? If it’s a failure; forget it. But if it should succeed we’ll be able to reap the benefits now instead of later.—D. D. On the Screen... Tuesday Bargain Night at Campus Theater By Wes Robinson Scenery is being built and cos tuming chosen in preparation for the Lab Theater scene jamboree Tuesday afternoon and night at at the speech school. For all those who like the theater, this is a real treat, a bargain night. Every thing is free. A short one-aeter and four 25 ininute excerpts front the plays “Blithe Spirit,” "The Importance of Being Ernest,” “Ghosts,” and “The Women” are being whipped Into shape by technique of acting classes for final presentation. Three out of these five will be chosen for the Tuesday night show. The cinema for the coming week in Eugene: “Rhubarb” (MacDonald): For the first time In something like two years, Ruy Mllland gets to exercise his prowess as a comedi an. Also, for the first time since “Lost Weekend," he gets to get drunk on the screen. And for the first time ever, he gets to play opposite a cat. All of these things plus a good many others all neatly wound up together go to make ''Rhubarb" a pretty good show. Undoubtedly, it would have been a better show had those who adapted it from the H. Allen Smith bool^ attempt ed to keep the humor more H. Allen Smith-ish. In .spots, their substitute slapstick sticks out like a sore thumb. Generally, however, the comedy is pleasing enough to fulfill most anybody's demands. And if you like either cats or baseball or both, it'll be more than pleasing. The story concerns a tough, golf-ball-stealing alley cat (Rhu barb) who gets himself adopted by a milionaire that's crazy about baseball. In course of time, the million aire dies, leaving 530,000 and a major league ball club to the cat. The club’s press agent (Milland) becomes the unhappy keeper of the feline, only to discover that his girl (Jan Sterling) is allergic to Rhubarb. The former king-cat of the garbage cans becomes the lucky mascot of the team, then is kidnapped by gamblers in an at tempt to make the v.lub lose a coming game. Best touch in the picture is the artificial rain-mak ing which floods the field while leaving the rest of New York dry, as a device to gain time until Rhubarb can be found. As it stands, the chuckles are plentiful enough; but a good job of editorial cutting and glueing would help the presentation tre mendously. You can have a really riotous afternoon of it anyway, though. if you simply do ono thing: tuke your dog along. • • • • • “Pickup” (liellig): This Is a class C picture which cornea off amazingly well for ull It has against It. The film seems to la* growing In reputation and popu larity every place It’s shown. The picture doesn't really de serveas much praise as it's get ting, however although producer director-script-actor Hugo Haas is entitled to a big hand for try ing to make it something. The story concerns a lonely man (Haas) who gets hooked into marrying a floozy. The men tal impact of the marriage cuuacs him to become deaf, but he re covers in time to find out she Is planning to kill him for his money. When her asslstant-ln crlnic backs out, Haas is aide to dispose of her and go back to I hr lonely hut happy life he knew In-fore lie met her. One reason why people like this one is because they go ln expect • Ing nothing anil rome out having seen at least a little something. They Ni-cm to get more than then money's worth, ho to speak. But if one goes In expecting anything at all from the picture, hc-'M bound to be dlfiappolnted. The ment of surprise is what makes it good. ‘•Time of Your IJfc” anil “Lit tle <.iunt” (Hex): Abbott mul Costello can In- refreshing if you haven't seen or heard them for a couple of years, hut even so two of their pltcurcs at one sit ting Is pretty wearisome. "Time of Your Life" is more original than most of their vehicles uml not quite as slapstick, lint after you've seen that one, you'll prob ably hsve all the Abbott ami Costello you want. the new college CASCADE CLUB Beyond Springfield on S.

Will Play at the HEILIG^, NOV. 5. 6. 7. —To the Editor— Emerald Editor: Yourn Monday article, “Ger many Renews Student Dueling,” written by the United Press is quite a nice story, but it is not all true. If it wouldn’t be so ob viously nonsensical, I could try to meet the editor in the Uni versity of Oregon’s first duel, without “mask and arm guards” of course as in your story, but not “in secrecy.” Dueling has been forbidden in Germany for a long time. The story said: "Occupation authorities first banned the sport because it was practicied by aristocratic frater nities from which the elite of the army officer corps was selected. It was thought to promote Ger man militarism and nationalism.” That is really the peak of silli ness, for, even in the Nazi period, duels—your “manly sport”—were forbidden, as they are now. Prohibition, of course, can not absolutely prevent dueling, as the study of journalism does not nec essarily make good journalists. There are so many German stu dents on the campus. Why were none of them asked about that problem before wasting your space by printing that stuff? A final word yet: Most of the German post-war students have been soldiers during the war. They won't tolerate being chal lenged to prove their pluck by dueling. Some foolish guys are exceptions, but not the German students.. - - « * * - - Franz Gesarz Take a look In this book Buy your 1951 OREGANA NOW
