I Medford, November 9,
Says Council
Appointment of Lester McDon
ald as editor of the Oregana to
succeed Serena Madsen Scheffer
was made at a meeting of the ex
ecutive council yesterday after
noon.
McDonald was recommended to
the group following recent action
by the publications committee se
lecting him as the outstanding
candidate for the editorship, va
cated when Mrs. Scheffer resigned.
Managers Appointed
Debate managers were also ap
pointed, following the recommen
dations made by the forensic com
mittee of the associated students.
Eugene Laird will be general
manager; Robert Miller, men's
manager; Florence McNerney,
women’s manager; and Hobert
Wilson, manager of oratory.
In a report presented by the
music committee and passed by
the council, provision was made
for a meeting of the yell leader,
chairman of the rally committee,
director of the band and of the
glee clubs for the purpose of stim
ulating activity in music at the
university. Special emphasis will
be placed at this meeting, which
will be hpl.d this afternoon at 3
o’clock, upon songs and music for
use a,;t athletic contests. Proposals
that the band act in a more offi
cial jcapacity at the games and
that the orchestra give Sunday
musical concerts have been voiced
about the campus and it is pos
sible that action will be taken on
this Thursday.
Frosh Play in Medford
Official permission for the Ore
gon Frosh-O. S. C. Rook football
game to be played at Medford on
November 9 was voted by the ex*
ecutive body. The Medford Amer
ican Legion has offered $500 for
each team and a large cut of net
profits as an inducement. A sec
ond Frosh-Rook game this fall
will be played at Corvallis.
The council also voted favorably
upon the appointment of Gene
Shields as assistant varsity foot- j
ball coach and Bob Keeney and j
Cotter Gould as freshman aides. !
Ernest McCutchan was to have!
helped instruct the yearlings, but j
did not return to school this fall, i

WOR: ' GOES AROUND
'J^IIE freshmai 'do is no more. Officials of the univer
sity and tin*. 'ent body have seen fit to campaign
against it. again* s promiscuous paddling and latent
cruelty. They are 0 ivor of a more fitting observance of
the initiation of th ^ vcomers into the ranks of the fresh
men. o
The Emerald is \ ily in favor of the abolition of the
parade and the “mix® they have been in the past. De
signed as the parade ^ “instill Oregon spirit’’ into the
first-year men, it has t .icd. The Emerald has always taken
the stand that a quarter-inch oak plank may teach respect
to a moron, but is the wrong approach to a college student.
In the place of the parade and mix will be a fitting and
colorful ceremony, probably the university band escorting
the freshmen across the football field at the Willamette
game, to be “crowned’’ with their green caps at the feet of
Tom Stoddard.
Shell traditions as the Emerald considers useful it will
support. It believes college life should retain all of the color
and gaiety possible.
At the impressionable age which freshmen enter the uni
versity, colorful traditions mean much. To upperclassmen
they also hold charm which seems almost necessary to the
atmosphere of thrill which surrounds campus affairs. We
would hate to see Oregon join the ranks of the business col
lege so far as school spirit and campus life go. We pledge
our support to Tom Stoddard in fighting it to the last ditch.
Oregon has outlived the paddling tradition. The time is
ripe for a change to something better and we believe the
student body is on the right path when it is scrapping the
frosh parade and mix.

of improving college teaching and
questions affecting appointment,
tenure of office, promotions and
the evaluation of instructors' work

D. Barnes Tells of Work Done
In British Museum Last Year
By BOBBY REID
Two years ago Dr. Donald
Earnes was known the campus
over for his lecture courses in
English history, and the ones deal
ing with the life and loves of
Henry the 8th, bid fair to rival
the A. S. U. p. series in their pop
ularity. He spent last year
in England doing research work
on a Guggenheim fellowship on
the life of Henry Pelham, and now
he is back on the campus resum
ing his classes in the history de
partment.
Dr. Barnes plans to write a book
on the life of Henry Pelham. The
Guggenheim fellowship enabled
him to gather valuable material
in preparation of the work.
“Ah, I say," he said to me, “do
! you underestand about the Gug
genheim thing.” I admitted my
rank ignorance, and he proceeded
to explain..
“It’s for men somewhere be
tween 25 and 35 years old, past
the Ph. D. stage but as a rule not
reached the stage of celebrity, and
who are interested in all creative
endeavor, almost all fields are in
cluded.” I thanked him and we
proceeded with the discussion of
Pelham.
Almost all his work was done in
the manuscript room of the Brit
ish museum, where he gathered
his material from two groups of
papers, the Newcastle papers and
the Hardwicke papers.

O. K. BURRELL HAS
ARTICLE PUBLISHED
“An Experiment in Determining
Student Aptitude,” by O. K. Bur
rell, professor of accounting, has
appeared in the September issue
of “The Accounting Review.” Work
has been going on for the past
three years in the business admin
istration school here for the pur
pose of ascertaining the aptitude
of freshmen in accounting for their
work. The experiment is a report
of the progress to date, and is
I part of the general program of the
t school in attempting to advise
freshmen in regard to their work.

APPOINT COMMITTEE
| Matter of Whipcords Will
Be Discussed With
Tom Stoddard
Far from being settled by re
cent disapproval of whipcords by
the Order of the O, and a deci
sion made by sophomore men at
a class meeting held last week
to return to “moleskins” at the
beginning of the winter term, the
"pressing pants predicament” of
j the second-year men is still pend
j ing final adjustment.
Last night at Villard Hall, a
discussion of the trousers muddle
crept into a meeting of sophomore
men primarily called by President
Jack Stipe to consider the aban
donment of the freshman parade.
Reports show that the sentiment
of most of those present was that
the adjustment is unclear.
Moleskins Desired
It was pointed out that the
local merchants declare it impos
sible to procure a large stock of
moleskin trousers such as were
worn last year in less than four
or five months, as the matefTal
must be made up and the pants
cut £6 order. Moleskin^ are not
worji outside of a fe\y 'uniyersi
ties and thus the manufacturers
do not keep them in sfcick for the
general retail trade.!- '
Committee JVamed
At the close of the meeting
Stipe appointed Phil Hammond,
Dick Jennings and Chet Knowlton
as members of a committee to
meet with Tom Stoddard, presi
dent of the Associated Students,
and with him take the matter of
the whipcords up with the Order
of the O. This action was taken
as a result of rumors that the
Order of the O did not disapprove
of the dark grey whipcords, but
frowned upon those of lighter
shades as bearing too strong a
resemblance to upperclassmen cor
duroys.

Frosh Parade
Familiar Stunt
To Early Indians
Revengeful sophomores in
tent upon instilling the old Ore
gon spirit into freshmen with
paddles and a freshman parade
up to Skinner's butte and back i
were not the originators of the
joyous little game, "running
the gauntlet.”
On the contrary! They just
stole somebody else's stuff.
Take the Indian for example.
An Emerald reader with a nose
for news, Francis Coad, sent in
the following historical excerpt,
which seems to trace the frosh
parade back to the heydey of

Class Presidents and Officials to Discuss Proper
Time and Place for ’33 Men to Receive
Lids at New Ritual
Plans for Painting of the ‘0’ Will he Made; Abolition
Of Annual Tng-of-War Not Certain
The frosliman parade is a tiling of the past.
With a regularity that clicked like a cash register, three
official campus bodies yesterday placed their okay on the move
to abolish the traditional march up Skinner’s butte. Along
with it the class mix at Hayward field was junked.
Three class presidents, Tom Stoddard and Assistant Dean
Hugh Higgs yesterday morning went into a conference which
resulted in the recommendation that the parade and mix be
discontinued and an impressive ceremony of some kind for the
donning of frosli lids be substituted.

At Alpha Delta Sigma
Kick-off Meeting
The advertising club to be spon

tional advertising fraternity, will
be one of the subjects up for dis
cussion at the big kick-off meet
ing which W. F. G. Thacher chap
ter will hold at noon today at the
Anchorage.
At this time George Weber, Jr.,
will give a report of his trip to
the National Convention of Alpha
Delta Sigma at Lexington, Ken
tucky, where he represented. the
local chapter. Well-known busi
ness men of Eugene and profes
sors in the university who are as
sociate members will give short
talks.
Handles Management
Last year Alpha Delta Sigma
handled the management of the
Junior Vod-Vil, Mask and Buskin,
and Guild Theater plays. The
Krazy Kopy Krawl, the fraterni
ty’s big social effort of the year,
is ranked as one of the most suc
cessful brawls of the campus sea
son. Two years ago the local
chapter won a plaque awarded an
nually to the most active chapter
of the national organization.
Officers Listed
George Weber, Jr., is president
of W. F. G. Thacher chapter.
Other officers are: Charles Reed,
vice-president: Anton Peterson,
corresponding secretary and treas
urer, and Cecil Snyder, recording
secretary. Harold Kestcr, Wil
liam Hammond, Edward Bisscll,
Richard Horn, Fletcher Udall,
Harold Allen, Ted Hewitt, John
Nelson, and Addison Brockman
are the other active members. As
sociate members include W. F. G.
Thacher, Robert Hall, David Fa
ville, John M. Rae, Nowlund B.
Zane,' Ralph D. Casey, Arne G.
Rae, all on the university faculty,
and Karl F. Thunemann, Frank
Hill, William Cruikshank, and
Chalmers Nooe, who are engaged
in business in Eugene.
in the afternoon the student ai
fairs committee turned its thumbs
down on the affair which was
slated for Saturday morning.
With these two recommendations,
the plan went to its third group,
the executive council, and received
its unanimous approval.
So the tradition of many years’
standing is relegated to the pages
of past Oreganas.
To Meet Today
This morning the class presi
dents will again meet with Stod
dard and Biggs to work out a
suitable ceremony for "crowning”
the green-cappers. A plan ad
vanced yesterday by Dean Biggs
is receiving serious attention.
The university band, under this
plan, would march at the head of
the body of freshmen across the
football field between halves of
the Willamette game Saturday.
In front of the university presi
dent’s box they would be duly
initiated as freshmen simultane
ous with the placing of a green
cap on the head of their president,
Lawrence Bay, by Tom Stoddard.
A couple of short, timely talks by
President Hall and Stoddard would
end off the program.
Will Paint “O”
At -today’s meeting, plans will
also be made for the painting of
the “O” on the butte. An effort
will be made to place the task in
the category of a privilege for the
freshmen to keep the “O” painted
instead of a duty.
Abolition of the tug-o-war
across the mill race on Junior
Week-End was not thought advis
able yesterday by the student af
fairs committee. It is also prob
able that some revised plan will
be made for the annual burning
of frosh lids which also comes off
that week-end.
GERMAN READING
COURSE OFFEREE!
A German reading course is be
ing offered to graduate students
in all departments. Those stu
dents interested will meet in room
106, Oregon building, Thursday at
4 o’clock. The class will be con
ducted by Diana Deininger with,
the aid of the German staff. Stu
dents enrolling for the two after
noons a week will pay a $3.00
monthly fee. This will give the
students a reader’s knowledge and
will enable them to pass the read
ing examination.
Oregon Senior Tries Chicago Slum
And Factory Life During Summer
Living the life of a factory girl
in the slums of Chicago for six
weeks last summer was the exper
ience of Margaret Edmunson, sen
ior in sociology at the university.
Miss Edmunson was one of twen
ty-eight college women chosen
from all sections of the United
States to participate in a project
of the National Student Council
of the Y. W. C. A. The purpose
of the experiment which has for
several years been held in Chicago,
is to determine how people other
than ourselves live, and to learn
the relationship between employer
and employee.
“We were sent to the city,” said
Miss Edmunson, “without money,
! without a job and without a place
to stay. I went to fifteen differ*
ent places before I finally found a
place in a box factory making
Crackerjack boxes. The hours cf
work were sometimes from five
