Oregon Daily Emer UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1922 VOLUME XXIV. NUMBER 16 IN CUSS TILES TELLS OF JAPAN — Kobe American Vice-Consul Has Words of Praise for Oriental People MAKES PLEA FOR REASON Youthful Diplomat Reminds Students Race Cannot Be Judged by Few — Reluctant to touch on any phase of the international questions in the coun tries of the Orient which would likely be interpreted in glaring headlines by certain newspapers as bearing on the1 so-called Yellow Peril subject, Harold Newton, Universty of Oregon graduate and at present American vice-consul at Kobe, Japan, spoke before the members of several classes on the campus yester day. Mr. Newton in his talks avoided committing himself concerning the Or iental political situation, but in his in formal discussion he showed that he was replete wth information about the coun try in which he has lived for three years. Mr. Newton, who wras a member of Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism fraternity, and Sigma Hpsilon, national literary fraternity, while on the cam pus, told about the scope of journalism in Japan and the manner in which news papers were conducted. He made the student journalists realize that news papers are playing a great part in the affairs of the world, that the publica tions of Japan are comparable with those of any other nation, and that | stories printed in newspapers on both sides of the Pacific are an important factor in the amicable relationship be tween America and the Orient. Literature Touched Upon When speaking to Dr. Bate’s philo sophy class in Villard hall yesterday af ternoon, Mr. Newton, who before enter ing the consulate wras coneneted with a newspaper in Japan and at an earlier date was an instructor in a university in Kobe, gave the students an idea of what the young Japanese thinks about when he reads bits of prose and letters i written by the youngsters whom he had i taught. These missives were quaintly : worded. The meeting and merging of western customs with those of the east were commented on by Mr. Newton. Some of the Japanese celebrate Christmas and when asked why the Christian holiday , is observed they answer, “Why you ob-j. serve it.” Many times during his brief , talk to the various classes Mr. Newton intimated that the Orientals eagerly adopt the ways of the western world. , In concluding his remarks to the philosophy class, the youthful vice-con sul made a plea for a better under standing of the peoples and problems of 'the Orient. He reminded the student group that an entire yellow race could (Continued on page three.) WATCH FOR THESE FEATURES IN SUNDAY’S EMERALD Are college youths boorish and ill mannered?

The greater ■art of the new material is for the dnderv. Books for the library which rere formerly bound down town are iow bound by the University press. This new machinery consists of a iaper cutter, board cutter, a backing nachine to press the backs of books nto shape, a press and a Singer sewing nachine, to be used in stitching.

Twelve people ire employed in the printing depart nent.and a twenty-four hour day is ob lerved, someone being employed in the ihop at all hours. More Time for Building Has Been Granted Considerable: difficulty is bein^ en countered in Living the foundation far tlie new journalism annex to lie raised on the sight of the old “shack.” Water is hindering the progress of the work men, and wooden braces have been plac ed in parts of the excavation to pre vent the soft walls from caving in. At the west end of the excavation a shale rock formation has been found which will support the building, but at the east end soft clay has been struck [reaching to a depth of twenty feet or [more. Soundings made wth an augur failed to reveal solid ground and it -may be necessary to construct under filling on which to rest the foundation, according to Mr. John L. Hanna, super intendent in charge of the work. “Since there will be large glass win dows covering almost the entire sides of the building, the foundation will have to be solid and greatly renforced, otherwise the settling of the structure will crack the glass,” Mr. Hanna said. To this end, there will be reinforced cement piers five and a half feet square, at each corner of the east Hide, and un der the entrance will be two cement piers six feet square. When asked i whether the building would be finished on time or not Hanna said that an ex i tension of time had already been grant ed to the contractors and in all proba bility there would be additional delay due to the soft clay encountered. Some of the older residents of Eugene say that the journalism plot used to be the old river bed of the Willamette, which accounts for the depth of soil, Mr. Hanna announced that the loan campaign buildings, back of the Busi ness Administration building, would be ready for occupation some time next week. The carpentry is finished, but [the paint has not yet dried. EVANS HAS NEW ASSISTANT George Hopkins, instructor in the ! school of music has been appointed as sistant to John Stark Evans, director of the men’s and women’s glee clubs. He will help Mr. Evans with the regu lar practice work of the clubs and will make trips with one of the clubs while Mr. Evans is with the other. Until this year there has been a di rector for each club, but for the sake of more complete coordination it was decided to have one director and an as sistant.

The Mis sionaries plunged the ball to Oregon’s 22-yard line where the Ore gon line held, forcing Tilton to attempt another drop kick from the 30-yard line. The ball fell short and after Chapman received it, Gram punted out of danger and the game ended.
