The World aHMs.& of Nations This Week: British Labor Party not defeated. Consti tutions are obsolete. —- By Glenn E. Hoover — American conservatives are con gratulating themselves a good deal and deceiving themselves a little on the results in Britain. The elec tion does not indicate a decline in theh strength of Labor. Labor re ceived more votes than ever before. It probably indicates the final pas sing of the Liberal party, which is exactly what MacDonald set out to accomplish. In the future the La bor party will profit from the votes ■of those who are disgruntled with ■the Conservative government for any and every reason. Labor will -undoubtedly increase its vote still further at the next election. Both Britain ana the United 'States are struggling along with political machinery that is as out ■of date as a 1900 model car. The constitution of neither of these countries is adapted to a three party system. In the new British Parliament, each Conservative will represent fewer than 20,000 votes, each Labor member will represent 38,000 votes and each Liberal 94,000. The Conseryative party, lacking a majority of popular votes by 1,000,000 will have a two-thirds ■majority in the House. The late model German constitu tion precludes such a political ab surdity by providing proportional representation not only for the Beiehstag but also for state and municipal elections. Bernard Shaw says that the alarm ing thing about the British election is that England has at last got the government she deserves. Soviet Russia claims to be in -desperate need of a loan. She had planned to get it in London but her chance is nil as a result of the re turn of the Conservatives to power. Unfortunately for Russia, money is not lent on the basis of need but on the credit of the borrower. In fact the greater the need, the smaller the loan. A General Fascist Congress held recently in Rome, condemned the Masonic lodge, forbade its members to join the Masons and insisted that those of its members who already belonged should withdraw. Not withstanding the many excellent results they have accomplished in Italy, the Fascisti insist in making themselves ridiculous even in the eyes of Catholic France. And yet It is just the Italians who are the most surprised and outraged that the Latin culture finds serious competition in the world. The Czar of Ali The Russias, Theodore Roosevelt, Kaiser Wil helm and Premier MacDonald all taught peace by precept. Comes now the Kingdom of Denmark, by its Socialist cabinet, and particu larly by Herr Rasmussen, Minister for National Defense, and proposes to abolish its own,—not its neigh bor’s, army and navy. While the example of Denmark may not be followed by its neighbors, it can not meet with less success than the disarmament movement sponsored (Continued on Page Three) THREE DEBATERS TO MEETOXFORD Patterson, Malcolm, and * Frazer Uphold Oregon At Contest December 3 ALL MEN EXPERIENCED University Has Affirmative Side of Proposition on Referendum Desirability Paul Patterson, Joe Frazer and Walter Malcolm have been selected to represent Qregon in the Oxford debate to be held on the campus ; on December 3. The men will up hold the affirmative of the propo sition that the referendum is a de sirable part of representative gov ernment, the Oxford team taking the negative. Paul Patterson, who is a junior in law received his B.A. in 1923. While an undergraduate, he took part in debate for three years. He represented Oregon in a State In tercollegiate Oratorical contest; won, in 1923, the tri-state oratori cal contest; was the winner of the Failing-Beekman senio1^ oratorical contest in 1923; and won the Hilton contest in 1924 for the best presen tation of a designated legal subject. He has been assisting in the English department, teaching ex temporary speaking for the last two years. He is a member of Bachelor don, of Tau Kappa Alpha, honorary debating fraternity, and of Agora. His home is in Seattle. Records Show Old Wins Joe Frazer was a member of the varsity debate teams last year and took part in the debate with O. A. C. and Reed, in the British Colum bia, Idaho, Oregon debate, and the Oregon, California radio debate. The Oregon team won each of these contests. Frazer is a Phi Delta Theta and Tau Kappa Alpha. Walter Malcolm was on the Ore gon debate team with Joe Frazer last year and took part in the same debates. He is head of the student forensic committee of the A. S. U. O. and is a Phi Delta Theta and Tau Kappa Alpha. Final arrangements for the exact procedure of the debate have not as yet been made. The Oxford team landed in America early in October and has _ been traveling through the east, meeting various college teams. The Oregon debate will take place in December. -•_ EMERALD STAFF MEETING SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY A general staff meeting of the Emerald will be held Wednesday at 4:15 in the Journalism building. All staff members and aspirants are requested to attend. QUAINT ATMOSPHERE FOUND AT OXFORD BY OREGON RHODES MAN Arthur Bosebraugh, last year’s Bhodes scholar from the Univer sity of Oregon, has, from time to time, jpeen writing to Colonel John Leader some of his impres sions of Oxford and London. “The middle ages aspect and atmosphere of the place quite take one’s breath away,” he says. “Anything modern in it seems quite out of place. What a wonderful place High Street is. One can stand in one end of it and imagine he is in the middle ages, until some mosquito of a car honks at him with its most unmusical horn, and jars him out of his reverie. “My sitting room looks out on Tom Squad, which is certainly a beautiful and^ impressive place. My dining room and bedroom look down on a walled ^garden just be low, and then on out over the beau tiful Christ Church meadows to the Thames. TKe whole town is such a wonderfully quaint, peaceful, beau tiful, and interesting place that I am quite sure I shall learn _to love it more than any other town in the world, as so many have done be fore me.” Art has been on a, shopping ex pedition, of course. “The stores and business methods strike me as most peculiar,” is his comment. “No one seems to want to sell you anything. You have to beg them to show you things, and then they untie them and show them, one at a time as though they were afraid you would buv'two. One has to beg the banks to take his money, and then they treat him as a criminal.” However, it is evident that all of England did not impress Art as so picturesque as did that particular spot at Christ Church college. In fact, he offers some suggestions as to various improvements which he things might be brought about in London. “First,” he says,_ “get rid of the coal smoke or get more baths and faster and cheaper laun dries. Second, scrub the historic land marks, and memorial piles at least once a century. Third, straighten, widen, rename, and re number the streets and alleys, or ge^ enough policemen to personally conduct strangers. Fourth, pay servants a living wage, and abolish the tip system. Fifth, find some way of heating the hotels, and buildings, or J^ave hot bricks on the street corners where one can get one to take around in the day time, and take to bed at night (Continued >n Page Four) FRIARS ELECT Ted Giilenwaters. Jack High. Victor Risley. Wistar Rosenburg. Edward Miller. ELECTS FIVE SENIORS Men Prominent in Campus Work are Honored Five men were picked from the crowd at the Homecoming luncheon Saturday by the black-robed Friars, upperclass honorary society, and placed in the procession as evi dence of their election to the or ganization. Those honored were Ted Giilen waters, president of the senior class, letterman in basketball and head of athletic managers of the Associated students: Jack High, chairman of Homecoming this year, assistant di rector of the same affair last year, and a member of the junior week end directorate last spring; Victor Risley, president of the Order of the “O, ” letterman in, football and track and recently elected vice president of the student body; Wistar Rosenberg, letterman in track, runner-up to Ralfffi Spearow last year in field events, afld Ed ward Miller, managing editor of the Emerald and member of the student council. GIRL’S DEBATE TRYOUT WILL START SATURDAY Japanese Exclusion Act is To Be Question Tryouts for the girl’s varsity de bate team will be started next Sat urday and will continue over the following week. Eaeh girl will be permitted to try-out at a time which is convenient if it is impos sible for her to appear on Satur day. Each aspirant has been asked, by the debate coach, to call at 206 sociology building to make an^ap pointmeut for her particular trial. The question for the tryouts is the same that is being used in doughnut debate, which is the Japa nese exclusion act. The varsity team will enter a tri angular debate with O. A. C. and Willamette, and also one with Washington and California. Under tentative plans both debates will take place in February. At the last elimination of men for the men’s varsity team, seven of the squad were dropped leaving eight who are still working toward a place on the team. Four From this group will finally be chosen to meet O.^.. C. in January. The eight aspirants are: Sol Abramson, Robert Creamer, Iierschel Brown, Jack McGuire, Benoit McCroskey, Lincoln Erwin, Ernest Henilikson and F. Reid. These men have already been working for some time on the ques tion for the debate and meetings for discussion are held three times a week. At these meetings, new phases or points concerning the question are brought up and dis cussed. A few of the men were varsity debaters last year, but many of them have been working on debate this year for the first time. SPACE FOE AUTO PARKING TO BE COMPLETED SOON The new parking space on Thir teenth avenue beside the Adminis tration building will be completed immediately if the rain will stop long enough, according to H. M. Fisher, superintendent of the Uni versity grounds. The work was started several weeks ago, but owing to excessive rain, was never '■ •ompleted. CAMPUS WALKS REPAIRED AFTER HOMECOMING RAINS Recent rains caused by the ad- [ vent of Homecoming, according to H. M. Fisher, superintendent of the ■ampus buildings and grounds, have made it necessary for the work men to re-gravel the campus walks. ; Over eight cubic yards of sand was , needed to repair them. I Monday Afternoon Devoted To Serpentines, Dances And Pep Demonstrations ALL CLASSES DISMISSED MaddocK Praises Student Spirit; Squad Members Join Rejoicing Crowd Wild, cheering serpentines, a campus dance of like nature and a rally at Hayward field marked the spontaneous bursting forth of Ore gon spirit yesterday afternoon in honor of the Lemon-Yellow victory last Saturday. All classes were dis missed and men and women alike joined in the festivities. “It started with 15 loyal Oregon rooters lining up on Thirteenth street at 1:15 and starting a ser pentine,” said Freddy Martin, yell leader, in discussing the event. “Within 15 minutes the crowd had grown to 1500 rooters who went into the rally with the same pep as the original 15.” BuiltUtxgs Left Empty All the buildings were entered by the cheering mob and most of the professors dismissed their classes at once. The serpentine wound about the campus and ended finally at the men’s gymnasium where^a “rough-neck” dance was staged, the Campus Tramps and other vol unteers furnishing the music. Coach Joe Maddock addressed the gathering during a lull in the jazz, complimented the students on their spirit, told a few amusing anecdotes and received a loud hand from the audience. “I like your spirit at Oregon,” said Maddock. “The fight of the student body reflects itself in the team. The spirit of both go hand in hand.” Most of the members of the foot ball squad were present at the dance and it was held largely to give the men some recreation after working hard for a long time on the gridiron, said Martin. Yell Practice Held At 3:30 the dance stopped and another serpentine was formed which ended in the grandstand at Hayward field after circling the track. Here the yell staff lead the rooters in yells for the team and individual members of the squad, as well as the coaches. Pro fessor Howe, who is out on the field in all kinds of weather, was given a cheer. The band rehearsal schedufetTfor the barracks was changed to the athletic field and the band was on hand to supply the crowd with mu sic. The varsity went through their nsiinl wnrk-mit rliiriruy vpII nroa+iao WEEK’S PHOTOGRAPH SCHEDULE MADE OUT Houses scheduled to have pho tographs taken this week: Tuesday—Alpha Phi. Wednesday—Beta Theta Pi. Thursday—Alpha Omicron Pi, Delta Omega. Friday—Thacher Cottage, Al pha Xi Delta. Saturday—Delta Tau Delta. <£>---— Seven organizations are scheduled this week to have their photographs taken for the 1925 Oregana, and it is asked, by Augusta DeWitt, edi tor, that the house presidents make it a special point to see that the members of their respective houses be down during the allotted time. Time cards will oe given to each fraternity, on which the day is di vided into ten minute periods. Each person in the organization will be asked to fill out the period dur ing which he can most conveniently be at the studio, and it is essential that he be there at the time ar ranged so that the periods do not become confused. HOSPITAL PLANS SHAPE RAPIDLY $200,000 Structure is Gift In Honor of the late Frank B. Doernbecher GROUND BREAKING SOON Will be Memorial for the , Benefit of Children; Best Accomodation Provided Plans for the new $200,000 Doern becher Memorial hospital for chil dren to be constructed on the cam pus of the University of Oregon school of medicine on Marquam hill, Portland, have been completed and ground will be broken shortly. The $200,000 gift was made to the Uni versity school of medicine in honor of the late Frank B. Doernbecher by a daughter, Mrs. E. W. Morse, and Edward Doernbecher, a son. The site of the structure will be east of Mackenzie hall, the present main building of the school of medi cine group, and will front on Mar quam Hill road. It will be approxi mately a 60-bed hospital. Building to be Concrete The general construction of the building ‘will be a reinforced con crete frame veneered with brick and trimmed with terra cotta to harmonize with the other structures in the group. The building is L shaped with the long leg of the L containing the patients’ room run ning north and south, and the short ends extending to the east. The entrance is on the first floor of the east wing on the road leading to the Multnomah county hospital, which is on the medical school site. On the first floor, is the space de voted to the dispensary and the steam disinfector. The second floor houses the administrative .offices, the kitchen and the observation wards. The third floor of the east wing, which is also the first floor of the north and south wing, con tains the surgical department; the X-ray department; a ward for minor surgical cases, such as tonsils and adenoids; living quarters for the internes, the superintendent of the hospital, and the superintendent of nurses; the dining room for the (Continued on Poge Four) HOMECOMING WORK PRAISED BY OFFICIALS “Previous University Homecom ings have not been deficient, either as to hospitality to returning old grads or as to organization of stu dent committees in charge,” said Karl W. Onthank yesterday in a communication to the Emerald, “but the spirit in which the stu dents entered this year’s eelebat tion and the capable manner in which they planned and executed the various events, despite the han dicap of bad weather, are both notable. “The pleasure of the . alumni and the other guests was evident. This year’s Homecoming was in every way worthy of Oregon. I am sure that other members of the admin istration and general University staff would wish to join in expres sing to the students in general, and especially to the capable and hard working members of the Home coming committee, their compli ments on the success of the occa sion, and their appreciation of the splendid piece of service to the University.” STUDENTS OF VOTING AGE TO BE SWOBN IN AT SCHOOL Students who are not registered in another county of Oregon and who are of voting ago, may be sworn in at the Patterson school, Alder between Twelfth and Thir teenth. Junior Setou under the auspices of the Republican club, has arranged that two Lane county land-owners be there at the polls to swear in all students of the University who come there to vote in the presidential election. Rumor Is False Regarding An Election Holiday CONTRARY to several gene ral rumors circulating yes terday to the effect that to day would be declared a full holiday for University stu dents. all classes will be con tinued without a break, ac cording to Karl Onthank, sec retary to the president. It was generally believed yesterday that school would be closed for the day to allow students over 21 years old time enough to register their choice for president at the polls. PERUVIAN COLLECTION LOANED TO UNIVERSITY Relics are From Interior Of South America A collection of Peruvian handi craft and textiles loaned to the Uni versity by Mr. and Mrs. Donald D. Smythe, University graduates who recently spent some time in that country, is on exhibition in the gal lery in the Arts building and open to the public today for the first time. The textiles show a splendid color sense, and a skillful conven tionalization of the native environ ment in the designs. The natives who made'them show themselves to be inheritors of the old traditions of the Incas, in the opinion of in structors in the arts department. Perhaps the oldest piece in the collection is a bag which dates back over a hundred years. An interesting contrast is af forded between the fabrics on which the native vegetable d(tes have been used, and the German dyes which the inhabitants are be ginning to use. The former are softer, more harmonious, to the eye, and likewise fast colors, while the latter are harsher and fade more easily. A doll dressed in typical native attire shows the wearing apparel of the present. A carved horn may also be soen with its legond on cup and horn, at one time used for car rying liquor. Old Spanish mine lamps, native woven belts, beads worn by Indians in the Amazon basin, carved gourds, embroidored sleeves, and Navajo saddle blan ket—these add interest to the col lection in detail.. Alpaca hide, llama hide, skin of a water cat from the oastern slope of the Andes, give an idea of the South American fauna. “The alpaca is distinguished from the llama in that the wool on the neck and legs is longer,” as stated in the record of the collectors. “Though this skin has all its wool white, such (Continued on Page Four) VARSITY LEADS IN NORTHWEST Oregon in Race for Coast Title After Defeating Strong Husky Gridsters FIGHTING SPIRIT 'SHOWN Locals Go Through Entire Contest Without Making Substitution in Lineup By roason of the victory over the mighty Huskies, Oregon is now resting in top place in the north west conference and stands a pos sible chance even to win the coast conference title. Only 6ne man knew that Oregon was going to defeat the powerful Washington squad; Joe Maddock predicted a victory for his men several days before the game. How ever, after watching the varsity fight the northern team in the first five minutes of Saturday’s contest, several thousand Oregon rooters were aroused to delirious enthusi asm by the thought that Maddock’s men had a real chance to beat one of the strongest squads on the coast. Fighting Spirit Strong The varsity team, with the same old fighting Oregon spirit, played the game, using every ounce of scrap and grit that they possessed. It was really impossible for the cool and confident Huskies to beat such a combination. In the first half, when the Ore gon team had their offense going at top speed, the varsity plainly out played the Washington team. In fact, Lynn Jones made more yard age through the Huskie line than any other man has boen able to do in the past two years. Not only in offense, but in de fense, Oregon displayed marvelous ability. Five times, the northern team lost the ball on downs to the Lemon-Yellow gridsters. Once, when only a step from the Oregon goal line, the varsity held four smash ing attempts of the Huskies’ back field to put the ball across. Thir teen times, Maddock’s fighting eleven wrecked an attempted pass made by the opposition. Also twice, the Oregon line ripped past the Washington defense and blocked a punt, one of these blocked kicks accounting for the Oregon score. Anderson Deserves Credit An outstanding feature of the tilt was the cool and excellent man ner in which Louie Anderson ran the team. Anderson also deserves considerable credit for the speed with which he sent his punts off. (Continued on Pane Four) DEFEAT OF HUSKIES THRILLS STUDENTS CONFINED IN INFIRMARY Nearly all of Oregon’s rooters braved the rain to watch the down fall of the Huskies at the Home coming game, but there were three who were just as loyal that were not there. To them, the game that thrilled the watchers up to the final pistol, was only faint echoes of cheers and meagre telephone mes sages. These students were so un lucky as to lie confined to the in firmary last Saturday. One of the number, who was aide to be up, was appointed to “keep the wire hot’’ receiving telephone reports. Between times they watched the dismal downpour and for once wished sincerely that they were out in it. The first word of Washington’s field goal caused their depressed spirits to drop still further, but they clung to the consolation that the Huskies could not break through Maddock’s defense. “Bravo Oregon!’’ was their yell when the word came that the score was now, Oregon, 7; Washington, 3. They knew the score but they did not know how big Bdb Mautz forc ed the Husky kicker to boot the ball against the goal posts, or that Vitus fell on it behind the goal lines with every Purple and Gold player straining to beat him. The phone brought no message of further seores, so they again watch ed the rain, wondering how wet the field was and how muddy were the J players. They heard the “Oskies” that thundered across the field and wondered if Oregon was making another touchdown. No—there was no further yelling. The phone had no new score to tell, and the moments that followed were tense,—the last few seconds seemed ages. Seven to three was enough. Why didn’t the gun end the game? To these three was un known that last few minutes when the Huskies, trying frantically to score, advanced the ball almost ! onto Oregon’s goal line and then lost it. Finally word came of the close of the game, and there was no objec tion from nurse to the yells they gave. Just as the convalescents began to rest easy, in burst the father of | patient number two. “It was the greatest game I’ve even seen,” he exclaimed, and they all agreed, but wished that they . could have watched the fall of the powerful Huskies before Mighty Oregon.
