Coach Starts Heavy Work In Basketball Proverbial Ensaha Sent Flying IIi<rli Through MeArthur Court Ether Six Lelternien To Return; New ProHpeets Make Season L o o k Ttrif'hl “Pass flint hall.” (loach Hilly Reinhart, varsity bas ketball mentor, thus commandeil the thirty-odd men trying out for the r.fjinnl in yesterday’s practice. Most of the time was spent in perfecting the passing attack of the team and Reinhart had the men tossing the hall to each other from every con ceivable angle. The men were also put through practice in the various other fundamentals of basketball, but Hilly was very particular about their passing. Iho first string comlnnnt mil (it Cordon Hidings rind Hon McCor mick, forwards, Hay Kdwards, con tor, and Scott Milligan and .Too Hally, guards, was shown several passing plays and the veterans soon had them working smoothly. Have Hpps alternated at guard with Hally and was very effective, in sinking cripples. After these, men had com pleted their practice the super var sity composed of Hoy Hughes and Jack Dowsett, forwards, Carol Eher linrt, center, and Harold Olinger and Reed Clark, guards, were also in structed in the finer points of pass ing by Reinhart. The other men out for the team were handled by Chuck dost, assistant varsity coach. The team is fast rounding into top notch form and will be ready to go at top speed in the practice games to be played during the holidays. A trip to Portland will probably be arranged where the varsity squad will meet the Multnomah club quin tet and also the Coliseum Checker boards. Several games will also be played on the campus and Reinhart expects to be able to get a line oil the new men on the squad. Both of the Portland teams are composed of former college and high school stars and each year they play several games with college hoop teams. Practice will be continued until the term examinations begin and will be resumed immediately after wards. The hoop lessors will only be allowed a couple of days at home for Christmas and will then return to the campus for the practice games. Several games are expected to be definitely scheduled for the holidays this week and a complete schedule uill be printed as soon as possible. Kvery man on the squad is in very good physical condition, with the ex ception of Alervin Chastain, who was injured in practice last week.

Publish World News With Campus VieivpointSays Dr. Edwin T. Hodge I Iiitfllerliial Slant Declared Absent in Student Paper By BEATRICE BENNETT Contrary 1o tlio general opinion Hint tlio only interests Hint college students Imve radiate outward from Hie enmpns, Dr. E. T. Hodge, pro fessor of economic geology, believes Hint, they me also interested in world affairs that, radiate inwards to the campus and that a university newspaper should therefore contain news interpreted from the campus viewpoint. Students on the university campus do not read outside newspapers. That is the conclusion reached by Dr. Hodge after asking questions on cur rent events of many classes. “But 1 find that they are interested in world affairs,” he continued. “When 1 mention the earthquake in Chile or the typhoon in the Philip pines they sit up and take notice.” “Aren’t students in money and banking interested in the events on the stock exchange? Aren't sociol ogy majors interested in current questions of prohibition? Aren’t physical ed majors interested in the national rating of football teams? Aren't journalism majors interested in any newspaper besides' the Ore gon Emerald?” Dr. Hodge asked. “1 believe that sixty per cent of the student’s interest is in the course he is taking, Others will doubtless disagree. “The Oregon Emerald is missing its mission when it does not become a forum for intellectual fields.” Dr. Hodge stooped and picked up the last issue of the Emerald. “1 think I ini safe in saying that there is not a single article or storv in to day’s Emerald that has an intellec tual slant. “Home newspapers contribute to the public interest. Others pander to the public. Newspapers can arouse interest in anything that they want to arouse interest in.” Professor 1 lodge went on to say To the Sororities and Fraternities— Will’ll you plan refinishing or re-upholstering, wo would ap preciate llu> opportunity to figure on your work.

The Emerald panders to these classes. It creates an artificial interest, lie saidy “If the Emerald for four years would publish well-writteii interest ing articles on outside affairs, it would create a permanent interest in and a desire for world news, and this university would turn out first class newspaper readers. “If the Emerald would take that leadership and publish world news, re-written for the campus, it would not be in competition with outside newspapers as the stories would be written in an entirely different man ner. I do not mean Associated . Press or United Press dispatches. I mean stories written with the col lege point of view giving opinions of professors on subjects pertaining to their particular fields. “Sixty per cent of the Emerald news is to be found in downtown papers,” Professor Hodge asserted. The Eugene newspapers publish cam pus news, but the campus publica tion prints nothing concerning out side events, lie said. “How about it?” Hr. Hodge chal lenged. “The policy of the Emerald seems to show that students are not interested in the intellectual en deavors of the university. If this is true we might just as well quit and close the doors. Last Physical Ability Test Saturday 9 a. m.
