UNION UPHOLDS FREE SPEAKERS — Interference of College Au thorities Opposed RADICALS ARE DEFENDED _ l Publicity will Follow All Cases Discovered Interference by college authori ties with the right of students to hear radical speakers has prompted the American Civil Liberties Union, a national free speech organization, with headquarters in New York City, to form a eommittee on Acade mic Freedom to act wherever the is sue arises. The union has been engaged for seven years in fighting for free speech throughout the country, re gardloss of whose rights were at tacked, but has not before entered the college and school field ac tivity. It has about 800 lawyers in leading centers, over 1,000 local correspondents, and a national committee of 68 persons distin guished in liberal, radical or labor circles. The acting chairman is the Rev. John Haynes Holmes of the Community church, New York City, and Roger N. Baldwin is the di rector. Work Is Outlined The union’s announcement cover ing the work of the new committee says: “We are now prepared to tackle through a competent committee any case of interference with the ac tivities of liberal or radical stu dents and instructors in any col lege or school in the country. There havo been many such cases of inter ference in tho last few years, but each has been handled locally without the backing of a national organization. We purpose to go in to each situation promptly, to get1 the facts before the public, to or ganize effective protests and to bring to bear national publicity on every local invasion of what wo re gard as tho rights of students and instructors. “This committee will not dupli cate work done by other organiza tions primarily concerned with re strictions on class-room teaching and the discharge of teachers for their views. It will deal with (1) laws restricting teaching, such ns those attempting to prohibit the teaching of evolution, of pacifism and of certain concepts of history; (2) with college and school rules restricting student liberal and radi cal activities; and (3) with inter-, ference with freedom of opinion of individual students and teachers outside the class-room. Liberty of Thought is Aim “We are opposed to all those forces which seek to twist educa tion into their propaganda, or to limit the discussion of public is sues outside the class-room by stu dents or teachers. In recent years our schools and colleges have suf fered unprecedented attacks on freedom of opinion. We invite all those interested in promoting toler ance and the utmost liberty of thought to cooperate with us.” HOSPITAL PLANS ARE PROGRESSING RAPIDLY I _ (Continued from page one) staff mid iiuraos, and a few private J rooms. Plans Are Outlined The second floor of the north niul south wings contains a clinical lecture room and space for patients divided into wards of four beds each assigned to boys, and three 1 private rooms. This flooi has a solarium at t ho south end. The third floor of this wing contains i the babies’ ward and the wards for girls, with a solarium at the south end. The elevator gives access to the roof, where further open-air space is provided. VARSITY LEADS TEAMS IN NORTHWEST GROUP (Continued from page one) Quite a few of Anderson’s kicks were off in less than two seconds, which is remarkable time and ac counts for the fact that the Husk ies failed to block any of his eigh teen punts. It is quite impossible to review any outstanding playing made by any man in the line, for the Ore gon line played as a single unit and established a reputation ns one of the hardest lines to hit, in the coast conference. Hob Mau'.z caused the Husky backfiold more trouble and worry than an end is supposed to make. Mautz stopped many a back before he even got started, lteed, in nailing the Husky safety, saved j many yards for Oregon, while | “Fat” Wilson took the part of sev eral men in plugging the line, mak ing it virtually an eight-man line. One of the surprising facts of the contest is that Oregon did not make a single substitution. In fact, there wasn’t a man on the | Washington bench that was capable of playing better than those in the j original Oregon line-up. The 7-3 victory over Washington j is somewhat of a reversal of the ■ 6-3 win of the Huskies over the Ag gies in the previous week. How ever, in defeating the Beavers, Washington at no time showed the fight that was characteristic of the Oregon team in its victory over the northern squad. For Oregon really excelled in smearing attempted i passes and in holding the Huskies ! from scoring.

Soon after his arrival, he said in a letter, he had just received some mail, and the initial edition of the Emer ald. It made him feel rather bad, he said, to think that he was not a part of the life it described. At the close of one of his let ters to Colonel Leader, he said, “I was glad to receive your letter of the twenty-fourth of September. How I wish I could go to Home coming with you. Say ‘Hello’ to all the boys for me.” PERUVIAN COLLECTION LOANED TO UNIVERSITY (Continued from page one) a hide is uncommon, the most of them being blotched with brown.

VICTORY CAUSES BIG SPIRIT DEMONSTRATION (Continued from page ono) A new yell was introduced by, yell king Martin and a short pep talk was given by him on the game with Idaho next Saturday and the other games to come. "We want especially to express our thanks to the Campus Tramps and the othor volunteers that made the dance a success,” said the yell king last night. "Without them the rally would have been much less Successful.” NEW EXTENSION COURSE OFFERED IN EDUCATION Professor F. L. Stetson, of the school of education, is conducting a course under the extension divi sion. The subject, “School and Its Social Aspects,” which is offered once each week, is open to teach ers and others in Eugene and vi cinity who are unable to enroll in regular University work. This is the first course of this nature which has been given for j the past four years. Extension courses of this kind, according to a statement made by Dr. D. E. Clark of the extension division, are of fered only when there is sufficient demand and a number of persons desiring a course in a definite sub ject. There are 15 enrolled in this , class, but more are expected to on ter it soon. The meetings are hold every Monday evening at 7:30 1 o’clock in room 109, Oregon build ing. The course is open to anyone who, because of work or other du ties, can not take University work during the day. SURVEY OF RECREATION PRESENTED TO EUGENE The department of physical edu eat ion has made a present to the city of Eugene of a bound survey of the city regarding possibilities! of recreation. Many business men together with the American legion have been agitating the question of public playgrounds in Eugene. The survey is a thesis of last year written and prepared bv Ellen M. Mylne of the school of physical edu cation, and contains recommenda tions for recreation grounds as well as a thorough consideration of the city’s possibilities. ■ Grid Review By Wilbur Wester Over the eligibility of William; Cole, U. S. C. tackle, something of i a squabble has arisen. Stanford! and California have both severed i future athletic connections with the Trojans. However, this is purely a triangle affair and does not affect! any conference standing of U. S. ! C. Inasmuch as neither California nor Stanford has asked that the j Trojans be dropped from the con- j ference, U. S. C. is eligible to play j any future game with Oregon or any other conference team. The U. S. C. student body yester day voted to cancel the scheduled game with Stanford for this com ing Saturday. The only future games played by the Trojans will be with the teams in the Northwest conference and probabl r a game or j two with smaller colleges in Cali fornia and Nevada. O. A. C. is advocating a plan to start the Oregon-O. A. C. ETAE start the Oregon-Aggie classic at 1:30. However, the opinion on the Oregon campus is that 2:00 would be a fair compromose, inasmuch as it would allow ample time for Ore gon rooters to arrive at a conven ient hour. The Bell field stands at Corvallis have been completely covered. This news will be welcomed by Oregon football fans who intend to see the game November 22.
