Bundran Emerald Makes Startlin g Political Revelation The Emerald 1ms heretofore kept a discreet neutrality on the poignant question of national politics but the time has come to lay the cards on the table. Without loud shouting and vociferating concomitant with so many politicians the Emerald editors have silently and thoroughly investigated the records and histories of both as pirants to the exalted position «f pdesident of the United States and are prepared Jo come out with an unqualified en dorsement of the man who, ill our opinion, is the only logical man for the job. Employing some of the best minds on the campus in our untiring search for the truth we have reached a conclusion • which we feel is the only sane one. Realizing our duty to the A. S. U. 0. we are ready to unveil a collection of evidence that will reveal one nominee in his true colors. It is not often that a man of the calibre of this candidate succeeds in keeping hidden from the people his pernicious, infidious, self-seeking character. But even his enemies admit his cunning. Are you going to vote for this man? Rising up ■ in righteous editorial indignation we proclaimed to ourselves, , “Not if intelligent editorial guidance will prevent it!” Fortunately we have the undeniable proof. There is not the least doubt about the man’s perfidy. Unfortunately the source of our information could not tell us the candidate’s name.-—L. II By L. FENLABON K. T. Hodge, pVoffssoi- of geology, favors Smith for president on moral grounds. He believes that, a return of the present administration to of fice would amount to telling the rising generation that dishonesty is the best policy to fo.lo\v. “1 can not condone or approve the misuse of money, the misstate ment of fact, and the actual eases of downright thievery which have existed i» the Republican adminis tration,” he stated. “1 used to admire Hoover and considered him a very clever young man until lie became silent in the known presence of so much corrup tion. He must have been aware of the abuses, or very dumb; I don't believe that he is dumb. In keeping silent ho has disregarded his oath of office and his duty as a citizen. 1 think Hoover has sold his soul for a chance at the presidency. Of course lots of good men have done that before him.” Mr. Hodge is not a cut and dried Democrat ; ia fact, he is a Repub lican. 11 is f irst impressions of Smith were not altogether favor aide. “It was only after I had made a study of his record that 1 realized what a truly remarkable man Smith is. He is a second Abraham 1,in cola; a man trained in the art of government, witli no blemish on his private or governmental life.” Smith’s stand on the prohibition issue Mr. Hodge admires because it is “intellectually honest.” "We won’t get any [dace unless we face facts; an 1 it is a fact, 1 think, that prohibition is a failure. Smith recognizes that and is trying to find a remedy.” Mr. Hodge approves of Smith’s use of the vernacular in public ad dress; and claims that his gram matical errors do not exist in his formally written addresses. “Smith can write a paper just as well a-< Hoover, and lie doesn’t take j three weeks doing it. “Smith has shown that he is con cerned with the welfare of the whole peope; 1 don’t think that Hoover has any interest in the work ing people. Smith has great sym pathy with his fellow man. It is a wonder to me that the American people have failed to understand a man of such remarkable character and accomplishments. He lias raised himself from the gutter. Hut tlie fact that he had no wealthy rela tives to give Him his edu ation is no argument* against him.” Hoover (Continued from Vage One) have Wen seniors. {Seven graduate students, but not a single member of 1 lie faculty voted yesterday. Opinions over the campus on the la me raid s poll are varied. William Adams, thairiuuu of thy Campus Republican club, Joes not believe that the Emerald’s vote is an exact index of campus political sentiment, lie points out that the opinion of many who have real interest in polities is lost in a vote of this hind simply because they do not take it seriously enough to vote. Not Interested “Students are not interested in politics,” Adams insists. A great deal of trouble has been taken to get them registered and to interest them in political matters, and al though they may seem to concern themselves over public affairs for a time, when the real test comes they fall down. They will not go to the polls. The primary election last spring was pointed out as an example. Even though many stud ents were registered, only a very few voted. Miss Doris Gramm, vice-president of the A1 Smith-for-president club is another one who does not think that the straw ballot mirrors cam pus opinion accurately. Miss Gramm, a supporter of Governor Smith, nev ertheless does not think that there are as many Smith adherents on tile eampus as the straw vote re turns would seem to indicate. Women Interested “Women are just as interested in polities as men are, certainly,” an swered Miss Gramm when she was asked about the status of polities among women. Married women are interested because they hear their husbands talk polities, and univer sity women are just as interested because they are just reaching the age where they can vote, and poli tics are something new. Miss Gramm said that women in business profes sions are too busy to pay much at-; tent ion to polities. j “Everybody you meet oil the; campus asks you how you are vot-I ing,'' said Miss Gramm. "I don’t j see how anybody who is registered can help going to the polls and vot- i ing.” Hieatei-s , COLONIAL Lust day, " Tin Shepherd uf tJio Hills,” with Molly O’Dav ami Aloe B. Brands.

Five leagues, classified as A, B, C, I), and E, of 27 teams arc entered in the Casaba competition, while three brackets, composed of 23 duets, indicate the doubles handball contestants. The drawings for the basketball lineups were made yesterday morn ing at the men’s gymnasium when a blindfolded member drew slips of the teams’ names from a hat. More Teams Enter More games in basketball will be played this year due to the five ad ditional teams from the men’s now dormitory, Cosmos club and the Delta Epsilon fraternity. Leagues <A and B will lead off Tuesday, October 23, when Phi Sig ma Kappa will attempt to shoo off the Delta Epsilon invaders at 4:10 o’clock in the men’s gym, while Phi Kappa Psi will try to puncturo Sherry Boss hall on the north floor, and Alpha Upsilon ditto tlio ueits five on the soutli floor of McArthur court at the same hour.

Scroggs Bros. Tailors 700 Willamette Informality of Old Library Lost As 14,000 Books Grow to 192,000 In “ye olden days” when the li brary was built for a University of 500 students, and every evening a small group would gather around its cozy fireplaces to read and get their next day’s lessons, it was much dif ferent from the busy beehive it is today. ' With an enrollment of nearly 3000 students, a library containing exact ly 192,005 volumes is none too large. Books of all descriptions are found, even the weirdest detective stories, which, according to librarians, pro fessors delve in. Very seldom is a book called for which may not be found in this collection. In 1907, after the completion of the building, the library contained 14,000 volumes. From year to year the number grew until it has reached its present size. An addition was built in 1914, which is known as the stack. Reserve books arc obtainable for various divisions of study such as history, English, foreign classics, German, Spanish and education. Two large reserve libraries are maintained, one in Condon hall, the other on the third floor of the old library. A certain class of books, such as books of letters, biology, travel, essay-, poetry, history, reli gion and science, are kept for stu dents and faculty to read. They may not be used for class assign ments. It has been a source of wonder ment to many how a library «ould keep in touch with all the publish ers, learning which books of interest have been recently printed which may be of benefit to a university library. Perhaps the most reliable way with which the librarian may keep in touch is through the “Pub lishers’ Weekly,” which includes all books published in America. Other magazines are published in which new works may be reached, such a? the Saturday Review, Books, and New York Times Book Review. If the bulletin in the library is watched, most of the now books will be posted and the cover sheets will be found there. A mailing rental service is main tained for graduates of the Univer sity who find it hard to give up "the connection they have with this school. Books are sent to them upon request. According to Mrs. M. E. McClain, circulation librarian, a collection of reproduced paintings is being en couraged for the benefit of students. Some have been received from Italy, and some American prints which are! something new in American art, | have been obtained by the librarian. It. is the desire of all those con nected with the library management that suggestions regarding improve ment iii any way be freely given. It is hoped that all the students will cooperate in making the library even larger and better than at. present. Soph (Continued from Pago One) caid field, the line will parade j through the town streets to Skin ner’s Butte. There Clarence Barton and his collecting cohorts, Sam Lud ers, Norman Eastman, Bill Over street, and Paul Branson, will re ceive the gate admissions from the lowly frosh. Then the paddling committee will function. The frosh will trot up the hill to paint the cement “O” with plenty* of thick yellow paint to. be furnished by Bill East together with Bill Pittman and Stan Cowins. When the party at the butte has been completed, the gang; will tramp their way back to Villard hall where the yearlings will do some fancy kissing. The sacred Oregon seal will be the subject to be embraced —if embracing is possible in this case. A short ways from there conies the next, event which has been creat ed this year because of the dis obedient^. acts of the lowly frosh. The senior bench will be cleaned up good and hard, says Francis Mc Kenna, president of the senior class. The junior class, under the gener al direction of George Mooraj.1, president, will conduct the next set of events which take place at Hay ward field. Contestants in the var ious events on the field will be the sophomores and the initiates. They will take part in the annual frosh soph mix, which promises to bo the fairest mix ever held here. Stanford Brooks has issued an appeal to all sophomore men to be on hand at the field for the battle royal. “It is important that all sophomores be there!” says Brooks, “because the freshmen will greatly outnumber us.” The .-cane rush" will come first. In this event, the fleetest sopho mores and the fleetest freshmen start at equal distances from the center of the field to see who will bo the first one to grab the cane in the middle of the lot and; bring it back to tde goal line. Phil Smith will be the junior in charge of this event. The horse and rider contest will find two-man teams from both classes combatting against each other and the heftiest of the teams will be considered as victors. The big push ball melee will be the next event. Plenty of sopho mores are wanted for this affair to help 'push the freshmen under the ball into submersion. This con test will bo managed by “Dummy” Speer. The final match is slated for the field will be the polo rush. (Jhet Floyd, acting president of the sopho more class) will be perched on the top of a pole at one end of the field, and it will be the aim of the frosh to yank Floyd dowh from his soft seat. Larry Shaw is direct ing this event. After this, the freshmen will be forced to wear the green lids for ever and ever as long as they .are freshmen. CAM PUT Bulletin Freshmen! Do not pay your dimes till you get to Skinner’s Butte. Avoid unscrupulous collectors ou Kincaid field. All sophomores are asked to report to Hayward field at 9:45 for the battle royal. All seniors are to report to Kincaid field at 8 o’clock \vitl* canes and cotds. ] Admission to the Oregon-WiHahie11o game at Salem this afternoon call J be gained by Oregon students with ^ the presentation of student body ) tickets and 50c, Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, announces. Thacher Selfs His Stories; Wrecks Dope It’s popular opinion that coaches can’t play football, music teachers can’t sing, art instructors Can’t paint and in general that the teacher cap never be the creator as well. But when anyone from the Univer sity of Oregon hears such a state ment he may point to not one but a number of professors Whoso activi ties prove the absurdity of tlio idea. Prominent among them is W. F. G. Thacher, instructor in advertis ing and short story writing iii the school of journalism1, who finds.time during his busy daily program to do short story writing as a sideline. What’s more, his stories are pub- V lished. In- the November issue of * the Blue Book appears another of Thacher's football'stories, this one I being entitled “Trainin’ Table |, Blues.” Last fall Thacher had two football stories published in the same magazine ancFhe has frequent ly had yarns accepted ’ by. other periodicals. In the September issue of “West ern Advertising” Thacher has an art id? entitled “Significance of the 1928 Convention” dealing with the meeting of the national association of teachers of marketing and adver tising which lie attended in Detroit this past summer. While in Chicago Mr. Thacher met and talked with Donald'Konni cott, editor of the Blue Book, “Editors apparently don’t know very much about what makes* their magazines sell—one issue goes well . and the next one. doesn’t, and, they i can’t decide just what writers or J what types of stories actually con- ( trol the popularity,” Thacher says ,)• in discussing his recent chat with the Blue Book editor. Asked what he saw of particular interest in the political light during his trip to the middle' states, Thacher declared, “Southern'Michi- i gan is wide open and all for 1 Hoover.” The instructor found time, during liis summer of travel, to give some time to his short story writing and returned with considerable first draft material.
