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

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.”

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.

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.

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.
