< Macldox Writes About Pan American Meet Coolidgo Address To Be Watched for Change In Diplomatic Tone P.v WILLIAM P. MADDOX The now world’s own league of notions, tho Pan-Amoriean Union, assembles this work at Havana, Cuba, for tlie^sixth of its five-year period eonfereneos. Pounded in 1889 at the instigation of the Ameri can government, the union held four conferences before the war and one in 192" at Santiago. Its meetings have resulted in a vast body of treaties, conventions and agreements concerning the economic, social, edu cational, legal and political rela tions of the republics of Xorth and South America. Many observers believe that this week’s conference will be the most important Pan-American gathering ever held because its very existence has been hanging by a thread dur ing the past several years due to the violent antagonisms aroused in the south by the policies of the United States in Mexico and Nicara gua. These same observers thought that the Santiago conference would also crystallize the clash between Latin-America and the familiarly styled “Colossus of the North.” It did bring forth an unequivocal and extremely unsatisfactory announce ment on the part of the American delegation. They would not con sent, they said, to the substitution of co-operative Pan-American inter pretation and enforcement of the Monroe Dietri.no in place of tho present irresponsible and arbitrary control of the United States. Pan Americanism received a severe blow from this declaration but it still exists. i For the first time since 1919 the American president is attending an international conference abroad and w for that reason alone the Havana ~ meeting would possess significance. There are also the facts of our very much improved relations with Mexico since the arrival of Ambassador Dwight Morrow, and the terrific tidal wave of friendly sentiment throughout Central America that has accompanied the visit of our flying ambassador, Lindbergh. Does this indicate any fundamental re versal of American policy which will find expression in President Coolidgo’s opening address? This week may teM. It is truo that whereas, a year ago, we were storming and threatening the Mexi can government about her land and oil Jaws, more recently tho state department startled everybody by initiating a policy of promoting good-will instead of sending vindic tive notes. And our end was gained more quickly the second way than the first, for the objectionable laws were repealed a few wefcks ago. Does this mean a change in diplomatic method, which will abolish the “big stick” brusqueness and substitute friendly conciliation? If it does, now is the time for official an * nouncement and official action or else Pan-Americanism will emerge from the conference a still sadder looking spectacle than it has ever been recently. But then there is a still more em barrassing question of Nicaragua. One cannot but believe that disre garding all formal rules of diplo (Continued on page three) Eneaco, Violinist Georges enesco, violinist, coihposer, conductor, who will present a violin recital at 8 o’clock tonight in the Woman’s building.

IT. 0.. concert of the school year this evening at 8 o’clock in the Woman’s building. Enesco, who is considered the musical guide of his native land, Roumania, has also been acclaimed by American critics as the “musical colossus of the modern world.” Since his first appearance in America in 1923 as soloist and conductor in a nine concert tour of the Philadel phia orchestra, Enesco has reap peared with all the leading Ameri can symphony orchestras and has been recognized in each instance as a master in the realm of composing, conducting and solo playing. The program hero this evening opens with the formal Nardani’s Sonata in I) Major and closes with Sarasate’s familiar Zigeunerweisen. Several selections such as the Chaus son Poeme and the Saint-Saen^s number will give ample scope to the technical brilliance and soulful in terpretation for which Enesco is noted. Numbers included in this eve ning’s presentation include: Sonata in D Major.Nardani Adagio. Allegro con fuoco. Larghetto. Allegretto grnzios.

Fred Fraternity Succeeds in Winning Miss Sue Sorority in Collegiate Play Joe College Ousted by Clever Rushing Engaged in By Persistent Fraternity Brother The telephone began it all, for it was the day Fred Fraternity (Benny W eatherwax) palled Sue Sorority (Grace Gardner) to ask her to go to hear the Glee Club sing that his rivalry began with Joe College, played by Gordon Stearns. The convention took place in two col * legiate telephone booths on oppo site sides of the stage in the Wo man’s building during the “College Xiglit” program, which portrayed some “intimate episodes of college life” for the benefit of the “prep pers” and their hosts last evening. The center of the stage flashed into brilliance to show the Glee club members singing the “Pledge Song.” “In a Harbor of the Mountains,” “As I Sit and Dream at Evening,” and two eccentric songs followed. Joe, who wa| a fraternity brother of Fred's, took Sue to hear Madge Normile sing her inimitable blues at a night club. She tried to get him to take her to see Fred, under the name of Benny Weatherwax (see student directory), and Howard ■f Boot put on a nonsense skitj but .Toe iras horrid and refused to take her. In desperation, Joe called her up the next day to make amends, and asked her to hear Nancy Thiel son sins' her charming ballads, “Only God Can Make a Tree,” “Charmaine,” and “Indian Da\Vn.” Jack Reynolds and Kate Stang were to present the latest version of a “Flirtation Waltz,” and Fred employed the ’phone again to such good purpose that Sue consented to go to hear Ken Allen sing. Joe kept calling her, however, and since she wasn’t a good bluffer she just had to go with him to see a skit put on by the drama club, even though she registered dismay in pantomime. Even after the drama entertain ment, Sue put Joe off, but when Fred called again she readily agreed ' to hear the Kollege Knights play. Made bolder by Sue’s evident liking for him, Fred had the orchestra’s trio, Tsm Sandvall, Kenny Allen, and Ted O’Hara, serenade her that same night, and that very effectively put poor Joe out of the picture.

Referee: Ralph Coleman, O. S. C. By RICHARD H. STRING Sports Editor The growl of the Gonzaga Uni versity Bulldogs was not fierce enough last night. In fact they failed to show many of the te nacious and pug n a c i o u s tenden cies so character istic of their breed, and as a result, the Uni versity of Oregon hoopsters romped away with a 54 to 15 score before one or the largest crowds ever to Gordon Hidings witness a pre-conference game in McArtliur Court. The largo crowd, consisting of townspeople and hun dreds of visiting high school dele gates, was a guest of the A. S. U. O. last night. The win over the Catholic hoopsters makes the sixth straight win for the Webfoots. Show Big Improvements The AVebfoots showed a vast im provement over the performance in the two Willamette games last week end. Led by Gordon Hidings, floor captain and forward, the Lem on-yellow basketeers looked like a real scoring combination. Last night was a great night for scrappy Gord Ridings. It seemed like he just couldn’t miss and garnered 10 out of 27 attempts for an average of .370. From the foul line his average was even better, dropping the ball through the hemp six times out of seven tries. All told, this scintillating Webfoot forward scored (Continued on page four) Webfoot Frosh and Commerce High Will Meet in Game Today This afternoon at 2:30 the Web foot freshmen basketball team goes under fire for the first time when it meets Commerce high school of Portland. Spike Leslie, frosh men tor, expects the game to give him some idea of the comparative strength of his caging proteges. Commerce high is rated as a fast prep aggregation. Tho game will be played in Mc ! Arthur Court and is one of today’s features for the visiting high school ] delegates. They are to be the guests j at the tilt. Next week the freshmen will prob | ably go on their first trip, playing | the high schools of Medford, Ash land, and Klamath Falls. ' The yearlings have been working out at 7:30 in the evening during ! the past week instead of the usual [4 o’clock period. This change was I partly to relieve the congestion of the varsity and the freshmen prac ticing on the same floor at the same hour, and partly to give the coach a better opportunity to watch the hoopers work. The squad has been thinned down | to about 30 men, which makes it easier to get a line on the respective abilities of the players. The line-up of the freshman team has been given out by Leslie. It will include Gene Eberhart, center; Ed Stoddard and Woodward Archer, |forwards; Cliff Horner and Harold iOlinger, guards, w I Delegates Advised To Take Today's Copy Of Emerald Home Copies of today’s Emerald carry full information on the high school conference meetings of yesterday. Delegates are urged to take home copies of today’s paper to supplant their notes, by Hubert Galloway, managing editor.} Living organiza tions where the delegates are stay ing will be glad to supply their guests and additional copies may be secured at the University Co Operative store. Emerald reporters covered every speech in all meetings. This was made possible by the cooperation of members of Professor Turnbull's newswriting and reporting classes. “Wien delegates are called upon to give a report of the conference be fore their respective student bodies they will appreciate having the fall reports of the Emerald, Galloway said. Press Delegates Hold Joint Meet Morning Session Representatives Divided Into Four Groups In Afternoon The1 press division of the eighth annual high school conference was called to order yesterday morning by David Or. Wilson, president, of Lincoln high school, Portland, who spoke briefly to a capacity crowd of delegates. Erie W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, was the first speaker to be introduced by Wilson. “Keep your eyes open for those who arc real workers when choosing your staff,” was the frist bit of advice in Dean Allen's talk, which was entitled “Organizing the Staff.” x Circulation Key Purpose Dean Allen believes that the real bulk of work done on a high school paper falls upon' a little group of people, the heart of which is the editor himself. He explained, how ever, that the spirit of work which must necessarily permeate this or ganization of devoted workers, is not sufficient unless it is transmit ted to the whole staff. The key purpose, not only in high school journalism, but in any jour nalistic field, as stated by Dcna Al len, is circulation. “If you can print your paper and circulate it so that it will bo nor mally, and usually, carried homo by the students and looked over by mothers, .the advertisers will be sat isfied.” Editor Must Raise Tone It is up to the editor and his inner circle to raise the tone of the paper, to make it appeal to more people, the dean stated. lie advised the students to use their cleverness and imagination, and furnish news which would interest the freshmen as well as the senior, the parent as well as the student. “A good high school paper is worth three parent-teacher associa tions,” said Dean Allen. “Such a paper, valued by the merchants for its selling power, valued by the home for its accounts of school affairs, and valued by the students for its editorial power, is as real and im portant in its field as the New York Times.” To develop good sportsmanship, to smooth over quarrels, to develop town pride in the school, to strength en school organization, and to keep elections fair and clean, all should he among the aims of every editor, according to Dean Allen. Lyle Kelling Speaks “Townspeople are as interested in the administrative policies of the school as they are in tho football and basketball games,” said Lyle T. Kelling, news editor of tho Eu gene Guard, in his talk “Daily and Weekly Newspaper School News.” Kelling emphasized the fact that while downtown papers are cramped for space, they can always use news of the schools, if it is written brief ly and concisely, and in news style, with the most important facts first. Kelling said that his favorite type cf school news is material written in editorial form on a school sub ject of common interest. May Addresses Meet Advertising in a high school paper should be sold on a basis of its bene fit to the advertiser and not as an appeal for support for the paper, said Wlalter W. R. May, of the ad vertising staff of tho Oregonian in his address to the joint session of the press conference yesterday morn ing. May suggested that business man agers should classify their advertis ers and make different members of the staff responsible for a specified (Continued on page four} Preppers Busy; Heads Will Be Elected Today Conference of Prep Students To Close Today Informal Discussions To Be Featured This Morningf Frank Jenkins To Speak At Press Meeting The remaining half-day’s program for the visiting delegates to the eighth annual high sehool conference is full of interest for the delegate seeking solutions to problems con fronting him in his own student body.

Faculty Meddling, Student Dances Are Discussed Student Body Officers Jump for Chance To Argue Topics Tliroc Resolutions Offered By Prep Committee By PAUL WAGNER A welcoming address by Elinor L. Shirroll, dean of moil, delivered at tlio t) o’clock assembly yesterday morning, marked the official opening of the eighth annual high school conference. Immediately after the opening as sembly, the division of student body officers met in the main auditorium of the mimic building and was called to order by Kenneth Allen, presi dc-nt of the association. Faculty Interference Topic Faculty interference in student body affairs, and the high school dance problem were highlights in the discussion at the afternoon ses sion. Holding student body dances un der the guise of receptions and tens were recited lit- one officer as an example of the means used to get around the bans on school dances. A chorus of “Mr. Chairman” aroso when tho subject of student body dances was brought up by the del egate from The Halles fcigli school. Delegate after delegate recited their school’s troubles in this regard, as well as the methods used in meeting the problem. Many Delegates Talk Difficulty in keeping student body affairs in tho hands of tho students has been experienced at Marshifeld High, said the representative from that school. Candidates for student offices have been nominated by the student council, dominated in its affairs by tho faculty. This prob lem was finally solved by having candidates nominated from the flodr. Eugene High meets a similar prob lem by not giving faculty represen tatives on the council a vote. Resolutions Offered Three resolutions were offered by a committee composed of Rex Hart ley, Albany; Mario Bradley, Klam ath Falls; Bryan Mimnaugh, Jef ferson High; Myril Nowlin, Coos River; and Franklin Eborhardt, La Grande. The holding of dances under school supervision rather than al lowing dances to bo given under a camouflage of other names is rec ommended in the first of tho reso lutions. A resolution advocating the divis ion of the state into two leagues ,one for small ond one for the larg er schools, to decide the basketball championship of the st.ato fairly was tho second to be decided on by the committee. Honor System Talked Tho development and education up to the honor system rather than tho immediate adoption of such a (Continued on page two) Banquet Occasion for Mirth as All Delegates Gather in Great Feast Two Minute Orators Discourse as Guests Tickle Palates With Delicious Repast By AMOS BUBO High seliool delegates swelled to tho numbers of the famous light brigade that charged into the valley of death, entered tho gymnasium of the Woman’s building last night to find it transformed into a glorious banquet hall where 35 of the world's most comely waitresses stood ready to serve them. Twelve long banquet tables with all docks cleared for ac tion and with a glass of water at each plate and 41 places at a table welcomed them with restful chairs. There were students who had come from the sun-parched prairies of eastern Oregon, some from the lake country of the south where the geese honk in the marshes; some from tho grass covered meadows of Tilla mook; some from the dunes by the sea, and some from the great human beehives of the state like Portland and Astoria. They met, as men have met for over 200 centuries, drawn together at the feast, by a common bond. George McMurphey and his Kol logo Knights played several selec tions up to the beginning of the in terval that lies between the end of the heavy part of the dinner and the dessert, when Dean James IT. Gilbert as the toastmaster of the evening, took the floor and introduc ed President Arnold Bennett Hall as the first speaker of the evening. President Hall made a short speech welcoming the delegates, in behalf of the student body and the faculty, to the University. Dean Gilbert, in rising to intro duce tho speakers nobly overcame the severe competition that would have overwhelmed a less able man, in the booming of dishes and tho scurrying of tho servers. He wove an atmospheric web around the his tory of each speaker. Dan Beelar, president of the as sociated students, rose next and made an effective talk in which ho said that college studies will train a student for citizenship, but that college activities train one in lcad (Continued on page two)
