Economists Admit Gain
For Prohibition, Says
Dr. J. H. Gilbert
Meets Many Oregonians
While Away
“Contrary to popular notion, the
program of the American Economic
Association did not deal with ab
stract theory but with vital, press
ing and controversial matters such
as the economics of prohibition,”
said Dr. James H. Gilbert, acting
dean of the college of literature,
science and the arts, who returned
Tuesday night from St. Louis,
where he attended the meeting of
the association. “The problem of
the farm surplus, the standard of
living, the work of the Internation
al Labor office, and the motor truck
as a competitor of the railway were
also considered.
“The round table on the eco
nomics of prohibition developed the
fact that no economist in the United
States could be found to deny the
economic gains of prohibition. Some
did venture the opinion that Irving
Fisher and Blackman claimed too
much for prohibition in the way of
economic gains. Fisher’s claim that
prohibition has meant an economic
gain of six billion dollars a year was
questioned by some. General con
sensus of opinion was that a sub
stantial share of prosperity in re
cent years, especially the improved
condition of the worker, is due to
prohibition, the increased steadiness
and dependability of workmen and
the transfer of purchasing power to
legitimate lines of business.
Fanner’s Plight Reviewed
“More attention was devoted to
the farmer’s situation especially in
the eorn and cotton belts, than to
any other problem. Increased ef
ficiency in agricultural methods,
creating a surplus, failure of foreign
demand and deflation of the cur
rency, Hvere held responsible for
the farmer’s plight. The tariff,
which had built up manufactures
at the expense of agriculture, also
came in for a share of the blame.
“The '.onference was not hope
ful about the future of agriculture.
Belief will come, if at all, very
slowly, and the near ruin of agri
culture will have to deplete the
country population before the sal
vation of agriculture can be accom
plished. With the exception of
Frank O. Lowden, speakers had little
faith in remedial measures such as
farm relief legislation.”
Oh his way to St. Louis Dr. Gil
bert met Justin Miller, former mem
ber of Oregon law faculty, and now
professor at Berkeley. At St. Louis
he met Earl Kilpatrick, former dean
of the extension division who is now
with the Bed Cross in Missouri. He
had recently been doing relief work
in the neighborhood of Nashville,
Tennessee.
He also met Glenn Hoover and
Kimball Young, one time members
of the Oregon faculty. On his re
turn he stopped at Stanford and
visited for a few hours with Charles
N. Reynolds, former secretary of
the medical school, who is finishing
his work for a doctor’s degree in
sociology. He also met another Ore
gon ptofessor, now on the staff of
Stanford school of education.
Girls Glee Concert
Planned for Feb. 9;
Program Is Varied
The University Girls’ Glee club,
which will give a concert on the A.
S. U. O. series February 9 at the
Woman’s building, is completing its
preparation for the presentation.
The program is not too difficult to
be done well, and yet it is of sueh
variety that it should appeal to
most everyone, according to Eugene
Carr, the director.
Last year a separate concert was
not given, the two Glee clubs com
bining to give the well-received mus
ical version, Alfred Noyes’ “The
Highwayman.” A big effort is be

The first part of the program will
contain serious classical numbers by
the Glee club and soloists. An ef

Following will be a Spanish feat

The final part is given over to
songs and stunts of a less serious
nature, including a ladies’ quartet,
a Dutch doll trio in costume, piano
logues, and college songs in which
the club has arranged to appear in
collegiate costume.

“Rig Vida” to be Read
At Vespers, Sunday
Two hymns from the “Rig Vida,”
the earliest piece of Arian religious
writing, which is now extant, will
be read by Warren D. Smith to a
musical accompaniment on the pipe
organ, at Vespers next Sunday. John
Stark Evans will play the organ.

“Creation Hymn” and “Hymn to an
Unknown God,” and were written
between the years 1500 and 2000.
Vespers will begin at the regular
hour of 4-30.

McEwan, Vidal io Offer
Indoor Winter
Courses
All freshman and sophomore gym
students will have a chance to se
cure football fundamental work this
term and receive regular credit.
Captain John J. MeEwan. head foot
ball coach, and Gene Vidal, baek
field coach, will give primary in
struction to all who can arrange
their gym work to come between
10 and 11 o’clock in the morning,
and two to three o’clock in the
afternoon, Mondays, Wednesdays,
and Friday*.
This is not a coaehing class, but
one intended to give new men an
idea of the inner workings of foot
ball training and possibly to un
cover new talent that may not know
its own strength. This is the first
time such a course has been under
taken at Oregon. All interested are
requested to sign with Harry Scott
now, shifting their gym hours to
Conform with the periods of instruc
tion, as work will start Monday.
The linemen will work on the
wrestling mat with various blocks,
tackles, charges, and holds. Exer
cises will also be given to develop
certain muscles required for foot
ball. The backs and ends will work
with the forward pass, various
shifts, and formation drills.
A telegram has been sent to Gene
Vidal, who is wintering in Los An
geles, and he is expected to reach
the campus next week. Vidal's re
tention is highly gratifying to Mc
Ewan, as he is but little short of a
head coach in ability.
Spring football practice will start
early next month, and continue until
McEwan is satisfied that he has a
line on the ability of the various
candidates. He hopes to complete
the work this term.

Southern Trip

Oregon Mermen
Abercrombie Has Balanced
Team; Frosh Look
Good on Paper
A southern trip including meets
with the University of California
and Stanford is in store for the var
sity sw’imming team which has start
ed in its program of advance train
ing this week.
Oregon *8 swimmers will have six
swimming meets in 1927, two with
Multnomah club, two with O. A. C.
and the two southern splashes. They
also have a possibility of competing
in the state meets and the Pacific
northwest championship meet in the
spring.
Coach Ed Abercrombie has a big
squad practicing in the tank in the
Men’s gymnasium, so big in fact,
that it almost fills the small pool
to a point of being crowded.
Foremost in the candidates for
the 50 and 100-yard dashes are
Boggs, Larsen, Monte Stone and
oA. STETSON l<x>ks smart every
day of its unusually long life — in
hats the best is real economy.

Sheridan. Larsen is an alumnus of
last year’s frosh splashers and the
other three are experienced varsity
men.
For the 220 and 440-yard grinds
Abercrombie has McCook, Frank
Reid, Hambo, Greulich, Woodworth
and Ed Johnson all trying out. The
breast-strokers are Smith, Fletcher,
Newbegin and probably Bill Mc
Gregor.
Fletcher, Kaer and Smith form
the back stroke entries and Perry
Davis, Thompson, Joe Brown and
Byerly tend to the “jumping off a
board into the water” end of it.
On paper this year’s freshman
team looks better than tho varsity,
Abercrombie avers, with the addi
tion of Bob McAlpin, backstroke,
and Taylor Eccles, free style, new
additions from Multnomah club.
The scheduled meets for Aber
crombie’s paddlers are:
January 22—Multnomah club at
Portland.
February 5—Multnomah club at
3ugene.
February 11—University of Cali
’ornia at Athens club at Oakland.
February 12—Stanford Univer
lity at Palo Alto.
The dates for the two O. A. C.
neets have not been set yet but will
probably come before and after the
southern invasion.
