Democracy Results 1
From Unique Plan
President to Be Elected
At Convention
With the Homecoming directorate
appointed and plans well under way
for the once-a-year event to which
old grads and students alike look
forward, the alumni secretary, Jean
nette Calkins, announces the initia
tion of a new system which will be
used this year to appoint delegates
to the annual alumni convention at
the University on November 10. The
unique plan, it is thought, will give
an element of democracy to alumni
representation that has heretofore
been overlooked.
Previously, the delegates have
been chosen by a committee ap
pointed by the University presi
dent. However, this year, ballots
are being sent, under the direction
of Miss Calkins, to the alumni over
the state. The state is divided into
districts and each district allowed
delegates according to the number
of alumni residing within it. The
delegates names appear on the
printed ballots mailed from the Uni
versity. Mail votes will be mado
and immediately returned to ythe
alumni secretary where a count will
be taken, the highest secified num
ber winning the election.
An attempt has been made to se
lect the candidates from men and
women who were prominent in ac
tivities when they were on the cam
pus and in alumni work since grad
uation. Also, Miss Calkins said
they ondeavored to have as many
graduating classes as possible rep
resented.
The alumni, at their convention
on November 10 at 2 p. m., will
have the usual run of business to
transact, most important of which
will be the election of a president.
Harold Young, son of Dean Young
of the sociology department, has
held the office for the last three
years. Mr. Young is also associate
editor of the Oregon Voter at the
present time. There will also be

Oregon Department
Claimed Superior by
Professor Sutherland
^ohn W. Sutherland, professor of
psychology, has returned to Oregon
after a year spent in work at the
University of California. Although
this is the first time that Professor
Sutherland has taught on the Ore
gon campus, he has been active in
educational work of the state for
the last 10 years.
After having acquired an inti
mate knowledge of the Paeifie
coast colleges, including Stanford,
California and Washington, Mr.
Sutherland says that Oregon’s psy
chology department is superior to
any other on the coast.
At the University of California,
he held an assis-tantship in the psy
chology department. Some years
ago Mr. Sutherland was in a
clinical laboratory in San Francisco,
where he conducted psychological
tests and experiments. Following
his work there, Professor Suther
land spent several years teaching
in the high school of Bend. It will
be only a short time now until he
will be ready for his doctor’s de
gree.
Professor Sutherland was born
near Edinburgh, Scotland. After
graduating from the home town
high school he attended an insti
tute of technology.
“While I was in Scotland,” con
tinued Mr. Sutherland, “I was al
ways interested in athletics—track
w-as my hobby.”
‘Romanza’ to Be Played
By Hopkins at Vespers
Sunday’s vespers will include a
musical program by George Hopkins,
piano instructor in the school of
music. He will play the “Bomanza”
from Chopin’s “Concerto in E
Minor.” A condensed orchestral ac
companiment will be played by John
Stark Evans at the organ. Mr. Hop
kins will also play a piano solo,
Chopin’s “Nocture in E Major.”
Keverend F. Jennings, pastor of
the Episcopal church, will read
the scripture passage.

How, this reporter arises from a

its onslaught for the championship
when the Sig Ep basketeers gar
nered the most counters? For two
years the Phi Delta have been im

Phi Epsilon, with its Arizona atmos
phere, an all-state man from Tucson,
comes along and administers the
pill. Potter, the forward in ques
tion, made more points than the
whole Phi Delt team.
Gore Spilled
The other three games of yes

nothing more. Sphinx butchered
Psi Kappa, Sigma Nu made sausage

used a meat-ax on S. A. E. From
a spectators point of view, the

Attempted long shots, wild short

The Sphinx demonstrated a real
brand of team play, and worked the
ball up and down the floor with
ease. Poliear, Sphinx forward,

18 points for 30 minutes of play.

Student Names Prove
Bane of Professor
“What’s in a name?” One is told
to find the answer in the Student
Directory, but Mr. Caswell of the
physics department finds no relief
from this source. S. O. S.! Aid!
Assistance! Or whatever it is that
one needs in such cases* Tor when
a poor professor has students in his
classes with Goetchius, Itzikowitz,
Sehlesser, Shuholm, Perozzi and
Werschkul ns their official titles, it
is time for more than a directory to
come to his aid.
Varied Piano Recital
Given by Students
Of George Hopkins
The second of a series of student
recitals was given at tire home of
George Hopkins, instructor in piano,
Monday evening. The recital was
unique because of its informality.
Mr. Hopkins commented upon each
performance showing how the stu
dents might improve the technique
of interpretation. This feature made
j the program instructive rather than
! a mere display of talent.
The program included Mac
Dowell’s Starlight and Mozkowski’s
Guitarre played by Myra Belle Pal
mer, Chopin’s Nocturne in E Minor
and Albeny’s Tango played by Lu
ella Elliott, three Schuman num
bers, Important Event, Traumcrei,
and The Knight of the Hobby-Horse
played by Katrine Parsons, Chop
in’s Nocturne and Etude in D flat
played by Arthur Hicks and May
Night and Roeckel’s Air Dauphin
played by Robert Wilcox.
Mr. Hopkins plans to have num
erous recitals in order to acquaint
his students with each other’s work.
The next one will be given Mon
day November 7.

Books on International
Relations Written by
Noted Speaker
Graham Ilonry Stuart, professor
of political science at Stanford Uni
versity and speaker at this morn
ing’s assembly, is the author of two
books now on the special shelf at
the library. One is a textbook,
“L%tiij America and the United
States,” and the other a brochure,
I A League of Nations.” The as
sembly will close at 11:40 a. m. on
account of the rally which is to
follow.
“l’lie purpose in writing this book
has been to give a brief and ac
curate survey of the diplomatic and
commercial relations between the
United States and lliose Latin
American countries with which our
interests have been most closely re
lated. The increasingly friendly re
lations brought about by the World
War, the development and expan
sion of commercial relations, fthe
improved facilities for communica
tion and travel, have mado evident
the vital importancfe of our future
relation with the nations of this
hemisphere,” explained Mr. Stuart,
in the introduction to his ^extbook,
which was printed in 1922.
“This volume, designed primarily
as a text for classes in American
diplomacy, and for those studying
our relations with Latin America,
will, it is hoped, also appeal to that
part of the general public which is
interested in the bases and develop
ment of American foreign policy.
“Every effort has been mado to
present tho facts fairly .and ac
curately, with particular emphasis
upon those phases of American
diplomacy which have hitherto re
ceived least attention. Eor ex
ample, the diplomatic relations be
tween the United States and Mex
ico have been sketched very briefly,
inasmuch as this material is already
available in excellent form. On the
other hand, our recent relations with
the Caribbean countries and Cen

relations with Argentina, Brazil and

attention owing to the greater dif

Coles’ Performance Earns
Southern Trip

TSy RICHARD II. SYRING
Sports Editor
Kovel! to a high pitch, desirous of
■winning a conference game, and out
to defeat Stanford who lias been
victor in tlie past few meetings, 25
Oregon varsity football players, ac
companied by Coach John J. Me
Kwnn and a corps of coaches, train
ers and managers, will board tlio
Shasta at. 12:10 p. m, for the land
of Glenn (Pop) Warner and his cele
brated Red Shirted Cardinals.
The team’s departure at the
tracks near Villard hall will be ac
companied by one of tho biggest
ovations ever given an Oregon grid
squad on its leaving to battle a
southern moleskin foe. Led by tho
Oregon hand, the rally will form
immediately after this morning’s
assembly and march to tho place of
departure.
unexpected Happens
Lnst. night saw Coach MeEwan do
ing the unexpected. For fifteen
minutes the Lemon-yellow first
stringers battled with the freshmen
in scrimmage. Care of last minute
injuries was cast to the winds in
an effort to have the Webfoots in
a fighting and playing state of
mind. After the first quarter of
an hour of scrimmage the varsity
reserves were scn't. in and they
battled with the greeii capers for
thirty minutes.
Howard Handley, the big 200
pound end who was injured in the
California game,’ will not make the
trip. Last evening’s practice ses
sion saw Frank Riggs being groomed
for his place. The starting left end
will probably bo a toss-up between
Riggs and Ted Pope.
Coles Makes Trip
The backfield quartet was com
posed of Dave Mason, quarterback,
George Burnell and LaSallo Coles,
halves, and Cotter Gould, fullback.
Previous to last night’s practice
Coles was destined to remain at
homo but his last performance was
good enough to warrant his making
the southern trip. “Chuck” Wil
liams will probably start at half,
however, with Coles in reserve.
Dummy practice occupied part of
the time and considerable energy
was spent in putting the finishing
touches to scoring plays which liavo
been devised during the last two
weeks. No chances are being over
looked in case the ball is on the
three yard line and an opportunity
to score. Wetzel and Hatton took
their turns in kicking the ball from
placement.
Robinson Not to Play
Oregon gridsters will enter Sat
urday’s game without the services
of Bobby Robinson. The fleet-foot
ed quarterback is making the trip
but Coach McEwan said emphatical
ly yesterday that Robinson would
not play in any part of the contest.
His place at quarterback will be
taken care of by Dave Mason, soph
omore and graduate of last year’s
freshman team. Mason replaced
Wloodie in the Bear game and show
ed good judgment with his assort
ment of plays. He hits the line in
a good driving fashion.

To enter nil ailment is the pass
