Radio Station
At University
Is Discussed
System of Remote Control
Made Possible With
Station KGW
Combination of Views
Favor Proposed Plan
Direct Broadcasting Set Is
Preferable
By MARY McLEAN
INSTALLATION of a broadcast
ing station and receiving set on
the Oregon campus is favored by
several faculty members, and stu
dents have also expressed the opin'
ion that it would be a great asset,
At one time the subject was inves
tigated and thought to be too ex
pensive. A scheme of remote con
trol was entered into when the Uni
versity entered into a joint enter
prise with the Morning Oregonian
for the broadcasting of President
Arnold Bennett Hall’s inauguration
address October 18, and the Oregon
Stanford football game last Satur
day. Dr. Dan Clark, assistant di
rector of the extension division, is
of the opinion that it is a promising
Reid. ‘‘The continuaffon of this en
terprise depends upon arrangements
that can be worked out. If we could
get enough funds to make it perma
nent, radio would be a profitable
thing,” said Dr. Clark.
Landsbury Favorable
John J. Landsbury, dean of the
school of music, favors either direct
or remote control of radio. “I do
decidedly favor the installation of
radio on the campus/’ said Dean
Landsbury. “It would be of tre
mendous advantage from the point
of view of the school of music.
'There is no question as to the value
of radio in any institution; there
;is no question whether or not pro
grams from the music school could
be broadcasted to advantage. Our
school could fu»nish a lot of ma
terial. We get calls very frequent
ly for extension work in music;
and in addition we could furnish
programs and contributions to pro
grams. Some time ago a committee
investigated the matter and found
that it would be too expensive to
institute a good station. We did not
want to put in a poor one and re
luctantly had to let the matter
drop, because we would have only
the best. I think that remote con
trol also, would be a success.”
rrom tne point or view or me
Greater Oregon Committee,” says
Dudley Clark, chairman of the com
mittee, “it would be a big asset, in
asmuch as it would display to the
citizens of the state what the Uni
versity is doing. The Greater Ore
gon Committee spent the summer
putting before the public the pur
poses and accomplishments of the
University; broadcasting by radio
would be a continuation of this
work. We need radio for three rea
sons: first, because it is a good ad
vertising asset; second, it would
give students experience in planning
radio programs and operating ra
dio; third, radio is becoming such
an important thing in the world
that in order to keep up with the
times Oregon should have a radio
broadcasting station.”
Would Aid Publicity
“Radio is one of the greatest
assets we could obtain from the
point of view of publicity and
sports,” said Harold Hunnicutt,
campus sports correspondent for the
Eugene Register. “This method of
publicity has met with the greatest
success throughout the majority of
the eastern educational institutions
where it has been introduced. Most
of them have radio. We have the
talent for putting on the greatest
variety of entertaining programs
through the glee club, the band and
the University orchestras. Radio
would give the public and the radio
fans the advantage of listening to
constructive speeches by the fac
ulty.”
Jack Hempstead, general forensic
manager, is in favor of putting in
a broadcasting station, especially
because of the possibilities radio
has in the debate field. “It is a
most promising field and has great
possibilities,” he said.
KarJ W. Onthank, executive sec
retary, states that the business of
fice is much interested in the pos
sibilities of radio on the Oregon
campus. “It would be of benefit to
the state and to the University,”

Bears Hope for
Victory Against
Webfoot Team
Bear’s Chances Low
Because of Injuries
To Star Men
By WEIGHT C. MORTON
BERKELEY, Oct. a8—(Special to
the Emerald)—Treking southward
the Oregon Webfooters will attack
a badly crippled Golden Bear Sat
urday in the Memorial stadium here.
From the north comes reports of
the efficiency and the snap of the
Oregon eleven, while at the Bear
camp, speculation is rife as the
day of the clash approaches.
Coach “Nibs” Price is working
with a handicapped squad this week.
Injuries to many of the men are
prohibiting them from attending
practice regularly, and the probab
ility of a second string starting
against the Webfooters is not too
much to consider.
The fastest and the most shifty
backfield man on the Bruin team,
Brick Marcus, has broken his leg
and is out for the season. Perrin,
another speedy back, is also suffer
ing from a broken leg and will not
see action for several weeks. Andy
Miller, varsity center, is out with
a wrenched leg, while Bart Cock,
tackle, is still bothered with his re
cent injury.
A remarkable aerial attack is at
tributed to the Oregon eleven. The
Webfooters have a fast and bewild
ering passing attack, which worked

California Team Sees
Chance of Victory in
Conflict With Oregon
By OWEN MEEBICK, of
San Francisco Bulletin
SAN FEANCISCO, Calif., Oct. 28
—(Special to the Emerald)—“They
shall not pass,” said some great
French general in a moment of stub
bornness. • Members of the Califor
nia team have the same general idea
when Oregon comes to Berkeley on
Saturday, but from the precincts of
Eugene the pass word has gone out.
It is their slogan this year.
Fans who journey across the bay
i to watch the Oregon and California
1 game may expect to see it as open
| as the mining camp3 of 1884. Ore
I gon must rely on a passing attack
I to humble the Bears, and they cer
j tainly will pass.
California hasn’t demonstrated
j any great ability to stop the aerial
attacks of other teams, but the in
feriority of the Oregon line may
change the situation somewhat.
They might keep one man on the
line and send 10 back to cut down
the attack. Something like that.
One critic said the other day that
California would win. Another fan
queried, “What with?” Up to date
that would be a difficult question
to answer, but both Griffin and Jabs
may look good against a team where
the defense is none too solid.
Oregon does not possess the ends
j that they once could cheer for. The
folks up at Eugene have usually
been able to pick up two stars at
the flank positions, but this year
the wing men do not appear to be
any too hot.
Ira Clay Woodie, the quarterback,
will be the key of the attack, with
Vic Wetzel helping things along.
Woodie is a smart passer and was
successful in getting the ball to his
men in both the Washington and
Stanford games.
The Oregon game should be a fine
j barometer for California. Here is
a team in California’s class, and it
will indeed be interesting to see
just how the Golden Bears act in
such an affair. It should be one of
j the best games of the year from the
spectator’s standpoint, with pass
i ing the principal feature.

Non-Organization
Students to Hold
Dance Tonight
Oregon Club Hopes to
Repeat Success of
Last Year
The dance for unaffiliated stu
dents—those not in fraternal or
ganizations or organized halls—be
ing given tonight in the Woman’s

Mary Benson, president of the Girls’
Oregon club, which is sponsoring
the dance.
“We want each of them to come
and bring a friend, and then find
more friends there," she says.
A dance of this kind was given
last year and, according to Dean
Esterly, was one of the best in
novations of the season. “The Girls'
Oregon club is expressing real Ore
gon spirit by giving this dance,”
the dean states, “and I urge all
those eligible to attend it.”
Kathryn Ulrich, president of the
Women’s League, thinks that a fine
precedent has been established in
having these dances for Hinaffiliated
students and it is her wish that the
students for whom the dance is giv
en will co-operate by turning out
in full force.
Music will be furnished during
the evening by a five-piece orches
tra, and punch will be served.

McEwan Seeking
To Make Oregon
Full-game Team
Two Backfields, One Fast
One Big, to Face Price’s
Bears Tomorrow
By JACK O'MEARA
“Thirty Minutemen” is the title
which has recently replaced Web
foot and Lemon-Yellow when sports
writers refer to the Oregon varsity
eleven. This cognomen was earned
in the Washington and Stanford
games when Oregon led by a fair
margin in the scoring. But in the
second half of each of these games,
the team failed to mark up any
more points while their opponents
ran up an overwhelming number of
touchdowns.
Lack of reserves, poor physical
condition of regulars, was the al
most unanimous verdict of grid au
thorities. But in the California
game Saturday, even though handi
capped by tropical heat, McEwan
will attempt to put an end to these
theories.
Whispers have leaked out of Capt.
McEwan’s headquarters that an en
tire second string will line-up for
the opening kick-off against the
Bears. The backfield will be a line
smashing quartet of heavyweights:
Jones, 197, at full; Wetze^ 187, and
Vitus, 186, as halfback, with George I
Mimnaugh, 165, calling signals at
quarter. The average scaling of
these gridsters is 185 pounds.
These players will go into the
stadium with the Captain’s instruc
tions to batter and wear down the
resistence of the Bear. Then, their
work done, the fresh regulars, a
heavy line and light, fleet-footed
backs will take to the gridiron and
make the figures on the score-board
revolve, marking the end of the
“thirty minutemen” who win games
in the first half and lose them in
the second period. Only one of the
heavy set of backs will be in the
alternate line-up—Vic Wetzel shift
ed from left half to fullback where

to see how his changes in the team,
are going to work out. During the
course of the past week he has shift
ed Chuck Williams from halfback
to end and Rulon Ricks from full
back to tackle. This year there ban
been a wealth of backfield material
and those changes will not greatly
weaken the backfield and they are
expected to bolster up the line con
siderably.

Mrs. A. Sc hr off, Instructor In Art
^ Comes With Training Under Masters
By ALICE KRAFT
It is not often that the University
has the good fortune of getting an
instructor with the amount of past
experience and training that Mrs.'
A. A. Schroff, Instructor Sn the
school of architecture and allied
arts. Mrs. Schroff, who is teaching
in the University for the first time
this year as an instructor in life
and painting, has had trailing un
der great masters. For six years
site studied under well known art
ists in the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts and received a diploma from
the same institution. At Fontaine
bleau she was noted for her excel
lent work and for many years she
was known as a famous painter of
miniature portraits. Her miniature
portrait of Mrs. P. L. Campbell is
a very fine example of her work.
Under Mrs. Schroff's instruction
the classes in portrait and life have
been making rapid progress since
she gives them each individual at
tention. With her valuable critic
ism born of instruction under some
of the greatest of artists she is able
to guide their work skillfully and
carefully.
In addition to her work in classes
Mrs. Schroff has been holding meet
ings of her classes each Thursday
evening in which she devotes the
evening to constructive criticism.
These meetings have been success
ful and acted as an incentive to
the students and have aided them
vastly in their work.
