t Thielen Lists Business Staff For Emerald Nineteen New Appointees W ith Eight Assisting; Other Positions Open Hammond Appointed Associate Manager Charles Reed Advertising Manager for 1928-29 Willi the announcement of this ypfll-’s business staff of the Emci ubl, made yesterday afternoon bv Larry Tliielen ij a r r y Thielen 111 a n a g e r, six ■weeks of inten sive competition for berths on the force have ended, and the handling of the university daily's business has come official ly into the hands of what the man ager terms “one of the most effi cient personnels the Emerald has naa m a numoer at years." “Efficient Staff” Named Commenting on the sharpness of the contest this fall, Thielen declar ed, “I consider this year’s person nel one of the most efficient we have had for a number of years. We were fortunate in having an unusually large number of promis ing aspirants apply for staff posi tions this fall, and competition for appointments has been very been. “This does not mean,” lie added, “that the staff is closed, however, for we will welcome further ap plications from any who are inter ested in gaining experience in the business side of journalism.” William Hammond, Oregon City, junior in journalism, lias been nam ed associate manager, Thielen an nounced. His appointment climaxes three years of experience with the Emer ald, marked by a steady upward climb in handling responsible posi tions. Hammond lias had previous newspaper experience other than on the Emerald, having served as ad vertising manager of the Oregon City Enterprise for several sum mers. He was advertising manager last year. Heed Advertising Manager The office of advertising manag er lias been given to Charles Beed, junior, Oregon City, who is also in liis third year of staff work. Bichard Horn, Fall City, junior in "journalism, and Harold. Kester, of Pilot, Bock, also a junior in journalism, have been chosen as sistant advertising managers. George Weber Jr., of Portland, a junior in business administration, becomes foreign advertising man ager with the appointments. Dorothy Ann Warniek, LaGrande, a freshman, has been named assis tant foreign advertising manager. Phil Hammond, a freshman from Oregon City, lias been appointed to the service department, a branch of the foreign advertising division, and Both Creager, sophomore from Portland, will bo cashier and sec retary to Thielen.

Because the student direct ory was not out when the list was made some names were omitted by the invitations committee. Those in charge of the tea hope each wom an connected with the faculty will consider this a personal invitation and arrange to come. Because of a conflict with this ten, the 'Women’s League tea sched uled today will be postponed till next week. Work On Signs Ongiil To Start Says Hamaker Homecoming Posters Must Be Completed by Nov. 23 For Bristow Cup Prize Homecoming signs must be ready by Friday night, November 23, oT they will not be considered as being in the running for the Bristow cup, said Kenton Hamaker, chairman in charge of Homecoming features, yesterday. Work on the signs should lie started at once and plans out lined so that if necessary, a full week may be devoted to their con struction. Buies governing the sign contest are announced to be the same ns wore in effect last year, namely: 1. Signs shall be limited to a cost of $15. 2. A record of all expenses in curred in constructing each sign • must be submitted to the committee in charge or the sign will not be held eligible for the award. .3. All signs must be in place and finished by Friday night, November 23, in order to be considered. Points on which the signs will be judged will be originality, effective ness, and significance. The official, permanent Home coming slogan, “Home to Honor Oregon,” originated by Dean James II. Gilbert, should be incorporated into the signs, along with features expressing the spirit of friendship which is to be the keynote of this year’s celebration. Such a combina tion will be highly desirable, said Hamaker. Details of the sig-n competition are being worked out by a com mittee composed of Sid Dobbin, Eleanor Flanagan, Dorothy Croath, and Bill Wbitely. Letters of in structions will be mailed to all or ganizations within a few days. Infirmary Population Raised to Six Patients Election day was evidently hard on the student body health, for the infirmary population showed a gain of four over yesterday. The six •students in the infirmary are: Mar jorie Weseott, Winston Strong, freshman in business ad; Bradshaw Harrison, junior in business ad'; Clinton Millett, freshman in biol ogy; Tom White, freshman in pre law; and Dorothy Bussell, sopho more in education. 'Oregon's Fossil Deposits Best In Country% Says Dr.R. W, Chaney That Oregon has the most re markable fossil plant deposits in America is the opinion of I)r. I?. W. Chaney, paloobotanist in charge of fossil study on the Pacific coast for ' the Carnegie Institute of Washing- , ton. Dr. Chaney believes that the | University of Oregon should develop the study of paleobotany a great deal with such good material at hand. “Oregon has more deposits, and ; they are better preserved than in most other places in this country. ■ During the time that the plants ; lived, there were a good many vol canic eruptions. The fine soot and ash that fell on the leaves before ■ they had begun to decay or become ! broken up, finally became compact ed into rock, keeping the impression inside. We come along with a ham mer or chisel and find the print when the rock is split open.” Dr. Chaney has made a detailed ! study of the fossil remains at Gosh en, on the Pacific -highway, a few miles south of Eugene, in coopera tion with Dr. Ethel I. Sanborn, as sociate professor of plant biology. “Oregon in the past as indicated by its fossil remains of plants was I a very different country from what it is now,” Dr. Chaney stated. “The Goshen remains are between five and six million vonrs old, and the remarkable fact about them is that living plants most like them now are found in South China, Mexico, and the Philippines. The plants originally came from Asia.” I)r. Chaney pointed out that from this fact we can infer that Oregon six million years ago resembled these countries and that it was much warmer. The most common forms found at Goshen include fig, per simmon, jasmine, laurel and oak. As the country cooled and changed through the years, these plants either disappeared or came down to us in new form. For one year, Dr. Chaney was with Eov Chapman Andrews of the third Asiatic expedition which went to the Gobi desert and found dino saur eggs and fossil remains. In 1 ft20, Dr. Chaney joined the Carnegie institution, and since 1922 has been located in Berkeley. He is a member of several scientific so cieties among them the Geological Society of America, and the Pale ontological Society of America. Saturday, a visit was made to the fossil fields at Goshen. Sometime early next year, Dr. Chaney and Dr. Sanborn will publish the results of their study of the Goshen fossil flora.

A deficit faced by the Univer sity of Oregon as a result of a con stantly increasing enrollment and a practically stationary income nec essitated the raising of student fees $6.50 a term at the quarterly meet ing of the Board of Begents Sat urday. The new ruling will take effect the fall term next year. Since 1020, the date of the last millago tax passed by the state legis lature, the enrollment of the Uni versity has increased 84 per cent, according to President Arnold Ben nett Hall. During the same period the income from the millago tax has increased but K5 per cent, and there have been no capital appro priations that have survived the veto of the governor. A material in crease in revenue is necessary, Dr. Hall said, if the University is to maintain its present high standards, and the addition to fees was judged the only practicable method of ob taining the increase. The action of.the board of reg* cuts came as the result of a joint meeting of the boards of the Uni versity and Oregon State Col lege at Corvallis last week. At that meeting it was agreed that neither institution should ask the legisla ture for additional support at t}je next session, and that both should raise student fees to meet increas ing expenses. The addition will bring the fixed fees at the two institutions to $26.25 a term, the same as is now paid by students at the University of Washington. “I wish to assure the public that I do not accept this as the final disposition of the matter,” Presi dent Hall said. “I shall not cease my struggles until once more the tuition has been reduced to such a level that the opportunities for uni versity training shall be open to those who have the onergy and in dustry to seek them. “It must not be forgotten that for years we have been trying to meet our mounting costs by piling course fees upon course fees wherc ever it was possible, and by increas ing tuition in our several schools, which must be paid in addition to the regular tuition. “For example, tuition in the school of architecture and allied artH is $60 a year, $30 in the school of law, and $15 in the school of busi ness administration, and so forth. “I do not believe that the budget officers of the state will find any institution so overwhelmingly over burdened and so much in need of preferred treatment as the Univer sity of Oregon.” Among the other agreements or iginating at the joint meetings of the two boards at Corvallis, which were passed on at the meeting here Saturday was one whereby adver tising expenses of the two institu tions were to be uniform and rc rjuced to a minimum, and whereby out of state students were to be charged a uniform fee of $.150 a year under like conditions. Eugene Vidal Quits Oregon Football Staff Back field Mentor Leaves For Washington, 1). C., To Continue Business McEwan Takes Over Instruction of Backs No New Appointment Until After End of Season Eugene Vidal, head baekficld conch nt the University of Oregon, resigned following the California Eugene Vidal Raino at Berkeley last Saturday. Vidal left imme diately for (lie east where he is engaged in busi ness at Washing ton, 1). 0., aeeord ing to Captain John ,T. MeEwan, t h e \V e b f o o t mentor. The resignation of Vidal leaves Me Ewan with only Dick Bceil, end conch, as an assistant. No appointments will be made this year, however, and Me Ewan will personally supervise the tutoring of the backficld. McEwan Last of Trio Vidal’s loss, although not expect ed, does not come as a complete surprise to the Wcbfoot officials. The backficld coach, pressed by business affairs, hesitated to sign at the first, of the season fearing that ho might be called away. Captain McEwan is now the only member of the West Point trio of coaches who came west to Oregon in 19LM1. Harry Ellinger, who came hero as line coach, was not re-signed after Hie close of the 192(5 season. May Hinder Team The shortage among coaches hits Oregon at an inopportune time. The team is in hard training for the big Aggie fray less than two weeks away. The Webfoots are still in more or loss of a developmental stage and Vidal’s absence may seri ously hinder the team. McEwan, who has spent, much of his time with the lino ttiis year, will now work both the forwards and the backs together in practice. The unity of this system probably will assist in the perfection of a coor dination among the players. Backs Not Consistent The strongest point in Hie Oregon machine this year has been the line. The backficld, although in dividual stars are numerous, has not functioned with the same pre cision and consistency as the line. Perhaps under the closer guid ance of McEwan the backficld com bination will como to the front along with the forwards. It will bo necessary to select a new assistant for next year. The answers to this problem at present are merely speculative. In any case, the appointee undoubtedly will be one whose chief interest is in football, and who is eager to assist McEwan in turning out a winning team. The Oregon football team is still taking things easy after the Cali fornia battering. George Christen sen, tackle, is the only player who will not be in uniform for a few days. Christensen’s injured ankle is not serious, and lie will be back in shape fur the Beaver battle. Letter Shows That People Off Campus Read The Emerald Tho Emerald evidently has a seope which reaches farther than the uni versity campus, as shown by a letter received by Mozelle Hair, director of correspondence study in the ex tension division. The letter was from the superin tendent of the Bend city schools and reads: Extension Division, University of Oregon. Dear Sirs. In the Oregon Emerald I noticed that some special courses have been arranged for Parent-Teacher groups. I am wondering what you may have in mind and if the work offered is something that the Parent-Teacher groups in Bend might be interested in. If you have any printed infor mation relative to the courses of fered, I shall be glad to get the same. Thanking you in advance, I am, Vory truly yours, G. W. AGER, City School Superintendent, Bend, Oregon. Information is being sent, accord ing to Miss Hair. Students to Decide (Iregctnci Fate Soon Launch Drive To See If (himpus Interested Students of the university will dei-ide whether or not they wish an Oregon a this year through the moil Hon Hubbs mm ot a suuscnp tion drive, accord ing to a decision reached at a meet in}; of the publi cations committee last night. The drive, if unsuccess ful, will be con sidered proof that the students are lot sufficiently in terested in the year book to war rant its publica tion. Plans have not yet been made for tlio campaign, but it will ho uiidor the supervision of lion Kubbs, Orcgana manager. He will work out an ostium to of the amount, of money necessary to in - sure the financial success of the year book within the next few days. The dissenting vote of the stud ent: body in the election Inst Thurs day at which a proposed amend ment to the constitution providing for payment of the book through addition to student fees was not really indicative of interest in the book itself, members of the com mittee pointed out. The students in that election were primarily con cerned with the question of fees rather than the question of the Ore gana. The publications committee con sidered recommending the abolition of the Oregana for a period of at least one year and a motion to that effect was proposed. It found no second, tlio idea, of a subscrip tion drive being substituted. Horner Asks Men For Best Efforts; New Ones Needed Each Speaker Allowed Five Minutes To Debate On Either Side of Question ttegular varsity debate tryouts will be held Thursday afternoon at o’clock in Villard assembly room. “I wish to urge every man who is eligible for varsity debate to be fit the tryout and do his best. We need good men this year as much as we have ever needed them in the past. We have an exceedingly large schedule of heavy debates with the largest universities in the west and every man who aspires lo debate is needed in the tryouts,” declared J. K. Horner, debato coach. “A few men fi.-.vo misinterpreted my motive in excusing a few old men from the tryouts. -To date only one former debater bns actually had my approval to pass tho tryouts. It dues not mean that, now men do not have a chance. The safe thing is for the old men to try out along with the new men for I certainly do not mean to put on the team every old man who elects to pass the tryout. “It. would be a good tiling if a few new men beat out a few of the old men. Every man who aspires to debato should fry out for we will certainly need as many good men (Continued on l'age Two) Movies Carry; Hoover Hides On Landslide Returns From Over Notion Show A1 Smith Snowed Under by Adverse Vote Sunday Picture Shows W isi in Every Preeinet Listeners at ‘Pop Watch’ En joy Hot Dogs, Coffee BULLETIN At midnight last night the j count on Sunday movies was: .For 1941, against 1456.

Incomplete returns lute lnsl night, showed tlmt (lie measure was carry ing by a lead of about. 15 per emit, ivitli no indication that the final ratio would be different. At the V. M. hut where Oregon’s first radio “Itog Watch” progressed until about midnight, .students sat in quiet groups, listening with an expression of calm that for somo meant resignation and for others relaxing satisfaction. Thero was none of your hilarious tumult that is usually associated with a presi dential election—and particularly with such a breath-taking landslide ns the history-making Hoover Smith race last night proved to be. Walkaway Stuns Somehow the stupendousness of the walkaway stunned the students i who reflected the dazed reaction that tlie voice of tho radio described as prevalent over the nation. As the chances that the man named A1 Smith with a genial grin would take the holm of the United States government dimmed, flick ered and then died —tho genial grin of the crowd, regardless of their political sentiment, at the hut faded. The students were keyed up for ail unforgettable evening; they were in a mood for the color and romance that tho “East Side, West Side” jingle has kindled—and they didn’t get it. One missed it on tho radio and one missed it in the crowd—the size of whieii varied from 75 to about 150 during tho evening. Stu dents of both parties freely admit ted that they were disappointed in the anti-climax—tho election was over too early. Group Representative While tho crowd at tho hut was only a small per cent of tho stu dent ry—it was nevertheless a cross section of tin' campus’ reaction, de clared several who had visited vari ous living quarters during tho eve ning. Many students were in tho business district of Eugene, joining with the election night crowd and getting results there. In a few liv ing quarters private radio parties tool; place, and at others returns wore received over tho telephone. . Returns at tho Y. M. hut, coming in with a pounding relentless piling up of votes for tho Ilooverites-— brought little noisy response from the crowd. A few times, as somo doubtful state was announced, “All for Hoover” — audible comments came. There was a quick hum when (lie telegram of congratulations from (Continued on l'age Three) Laiv Students Wax Verbose and Challenge All Schools on Campus Down in Oregon hall the law stu dents study law. But occasionally they do other things. Last week they held an assembly all of their own. Several students got up and made speeches. In the speeches they said that law students were undoubtedly superior in every way to all other students on the campus, and that they should prove it by defeating all other schools on the campus in any kind of contest which might be suggested. Kichard Morris, law student, was appointed chairman of a propa- j gunda, athletic, and ways and means ! committee. An enterprising reporter i approached Mr. Morris. Mr. Morris I saw the reporter coining, and began to talk when he could see the whites of his eyes. “ (io hack to that journalism school of yours and tell them that we are prepared to take on those typographical errors up there in anything from tiddledy winks to a hog calling contest,” he shouted. “And just to start the ball rolling how about a football game on Arm istice Day?” By tliis time the reporter had ap proached to within throe or four feet, tint Mr. Morris still continued to address the world at large. “We haven't forgotten that you lowdown scribes beat us_ in basketball last winter with the aid of Scotty Milligan. “Wo can get up a football team here on a moment’s notice that could beat the varsity if McEwan wasn’t afraid wo would cripple them all up before the O. S. C. game. We could make enough duck soup out of a journalism team to fill that column in the Emerald for the whole year.” liy this time Mr. Morris was be coming quite enthusiastic on the subject, lie removed his coat, vest and tic; opened all the windows, took a deep breath and resumed his harangue* “And, furthermore, after we get through with you, we arc going to send Uiff Scheiubaum up to Alio shack to seo that the story receives proper recognition, and to see that the linotype operators don’t get tho scores twisted, as they have done on several past occasions which wo remember very distinctly.” At this point the inquiring re porter became very conscious of tho fact that ho was registered in the journalism school, lie quietly and unobtrusively prepared to leave. But there was yet more. Mr. (Continued on 1‘aye Three)
