The Gridgraph ....
Literary Censorship ....
Student Automobiles ....
T ET’S blow a lusty blast on the
trumpet of progress, and see
if we can’t awaken interest in an
improved manner of presenting
football games at McArthur court.
The gridgraph in its balmy days
was a worthwhile institution. Now
radio ha3 come to take its place.
The color, the thrill, the intimate
details of the game ... all these
are to be had with little or no
difficulty, yet we continue to put
up with a mechanism which at
its best can never give more than
an inaccurate account of the game.
Also we have to contend with
these self-elected Paul Reveres
who gallop in with disconcerting
news several touchdowns ahead of
the slow gridgraph. If radio con
nections could be arranged for,
the same social event could be
made of the affair, and the same
fee charged. What do you say,
Order of the “O,” could it be?
* * *
ALL caricatures of con
gressional buffoonery the
most ludicrous is about to be
drawn. An austere and enlight
ened group of congressmen have
made themselves the protectors
of American morality by black
listing some four hundred for
eign works in literature and are
seeking to prohibit their impor
tation into the United States.
The pure must revel in joy for
among those slated for exclu
sion are, “The Arabian Nights,”
“Boccaccio,” “All Quiet on the
Western Front,” and a host of
equally tainted masterpieces.
We are sorry we can’t enjoy
this holy game of book censor
ship, for we elect to stay out
side of the prudish parade. It
is all so unnecessary. Books
written with no other back
ground than salacity and vul
garity suffer a natural death.
On the other hand, scattering
the pages with primroses and
moral niceties doesn’t necessar
ily create genuine merit. And
what’s more, we believe that a
congressional moral criterion for
the books we read wins the
prize for absurdity!

WE LEARN from very official
’ sources, chief of the Eugene
traffic division to be exact, that
the local police are more than
gratified over the co-operation
displayed by student automobile
owners. They have had less dif
ficulty than in any year previous,
says the automobile chief, and
they are very anxious that such
co-operation continue. This should
be excellent news to those who

SPEECH SOUND IS
SLIDE TALK TOPIC
A slide program which will
show how speech sounds are pro
duced will be giveen in Villard
hall, October 16, at 7:45 for the
benefit of language students. The
slides were formerly intended to
be shown during the past summer
session with Professor Barker of
the University of Utah, a well
known authority on phonetics, to
explain the pictures. He was in
vited to give a series of lectures
and demonstrations showing just
how the various sounds that go
to make up words are produced
in English, French, and other lan
guages. On the way, he met with
a serious automobile accident and
was unable to reach Eugene be
fore the close of the session. His
films and slides were forwarded,
however, and the romance lan
I guage and drama departments are
now planning to have them shown.
The demonstration is free and
everyone interested is invited.

Emerald Aims at Closer Contact
Of Mothers, Dads with Student
Activities; Copies Sent to Parents
Advantages of University
Daily Explained in
Large Issue
Intimate Side of College
Life Exposed
Three thousand mothers and
dads of Oregon students and all
of last year’s alumni will read
this copy of the Emerald.
Through the courtesy of the
business staff, the 3,000 extra
copies which have been made of
today’s paper will be sent to the
parents of every Oregon student
and to every member of last
year’s enrollment.
This is being done because the
wish to follow the activities of
sons and daughters on the part of
parents and to continue keeping
up with the progress of the Alma
Mater more closely than occas
ional letters permit has often
been expressed. The only way to
get a better understanding and a
more intimate knowledge of the
lives of the students is to read j
the student daily publication.
The Emerald brings to every j
student and will bring to every j
parent a clearly outlined picture •
of campus life, as it attempts to '
give an accurate, adequate account |
of every event.
In its pages is presented the
thrilling combat of athletic events.
Its editorials present the view
points of the youngest voters, and
it gives a graphic account of the
construction, and the struggle be
ing made for the greater Oregon.
Its features cartoon the humor
ous events of fraternities, sorori
ties and dormitories.
The administration and the fi
nancial operations of the univer
sity are explained in its columns.
Students can read news of their
friends; parents can read of the
social merry-go-round. News of
classes and professors is played
up in the paper, as well as extra
curricular activities and student
government.

Directorate Will Semi Glee
Cluh to Portland
The university glee club and
men’s quartet will appear before
the Portland high scnools during
the week of the Oregon-Idaho
game, presenting a program of
Oregon songs, under the auspices
of the Greater Oregon committee,
Paul Hunt, general committee
chairman, announced Friday. The
Idaho pep band will also be fea
tured at the school gatherings.
Extensive plans are under way
relative to presenting Greater
Oregon entertainments before the
high schools all over the state,
during the Thanksgiving and
Christmas vacations, at which
time talks, dances, and gather
ings will be featured, according
to Hunt.
Reapportionment Planned
At the present time, plans are
also formulated by which a com
plete reapportionment of districts
will be undertaken, along with a
general shake-up of the commit
tee directorate.
“A different method of work
will be used next year,” Hunt
said. ‘‘The emphasis will be
placed on cities instead of dis
tricts, and a more personal con
tact will be attempted.”
Conditions found prevalent at
the time of the state-wide tour
conducted this summer by Hunt,
Keith Hall, vice-chairman, and
Tom Stoddard, student prexy, will
play a large part in determining;
the extent of the proposed re-!
vamping of the committee.

Many students, prospective stu

While a larger enrollment did

Class Informal to be Held
On Saturday, Nov. 9 1
At Igloo
Stipe Appoints Knowlton
As Vice Chairman
Tom Handley, sophomore in
pre-law, will act as general chair
man for this year’s sophomore in
formal dance, according to an
nouncement made yesterday by
Jack Stipe, class president.
The informal, a feature of every
fall term at which the sophomores
act as hosts for the rest of the
student body, will be held on Sat
urday, November 9, at ‘McArthur
court.
In commenting on his choice,
Stipe said, "I feel that my choice
of Tom Handley is the best I
could have made. Tom was very
active in freshman class affairs
last year, and was successful in
all the jobs he undertook.
“As chairman for the freshman
matinee dances which were held
last winter term he gained much
experience which should help him
in putting on a successful infor
mal.”
The appointment of Chet Knowl
ton of Tillamook as vice-chairman
for the dance was also announced
by Stipe. There has been no such
position in past years, but, ac
cording to Stipe, it will be Knowl
ton’s duty to handle the extensive
business and financial matters
which come up in the manage
ment of a large campus dance,
thus leaving the chairman free to
devote all his energies toward
the arrangements for the dance
proper.
Irma Logan will act as secre
tary to the vice-chairman, and
will have charge of all correspond
ence and office details in connec
tion with the dance.

Fowler’s Survey Now
On Hand at Library
“Oregon Butter and Cheese in
Overseas Markets’’ is the title of
a survey by W. A. Fowler, associ
ate professor in the school of bus
iness administration, which was
issued early in July. Professor
Fowler started work on this sur
vey last spring. It was done as an
extension service for the Bureau
of Business Research of the -uni
versity. Copies of this survey
have been placed in the main lib
rary.
has been in a lone: time. t no
Bearcat line will be outweighed
over 12 pounds to the man, but
there are some comers in that for
ward wall.
Hard Men Listed
Keith Jones, Lynn Jones, thei
former Oregon fullback’s brother,
will be in at one tackle position.
Jones is a freshman, coming from
Salem High, but he plays his po
sition like a veteran. At the other
tackle will be Carpenter. This lad
is a war-horse on offense, and ha
is not so small either. The O. S.
C. players had quite a time shov
ing his 190 pounds out of the play.
Guard positions will be held down
by Gottfried, Philpott, and Ruch
alternating. In the end zone will
be found a new man to football
but an old acquaintance of bas
ketball followers. Ed Cardinal is
proving to be a wingman with
possibilities.
Punts Long
When shifting to the backfield
it is expected that his punt3 will
compare favorably with those of
Kitzmiller. Engebretsen, quarter
and triple threat man, will in all
probability be on the bench.
Keene wants to save him for con
ference play and will not take the
risk of reinjuring Engebretsen’s
wrenched knee. Barrett will prob
ably start at the calling position.
Although these men are new at
the game, when the final whistle
blows, Oregon will know that they
have been in a game and not mere
scrimmage.
The tentative lineup places Bar
rett, quarter; French and Cranor,
halves; Lange at full; Cardinal
and Haldeane, ends; Gottfried and
Ruch, guards; Jones and Carpen
ter, tackles; and Ackerman, cen
ter.

Today promises to be a fine big
event for the varsity reserves
when the Willamette Bearcats
come to Eugene on their annual
attempt to beat a Coast Confer
ence team. The game will start
on Hayward field at 2:30.
While there are only a few su
per varsity men in the starting
lineup for Oregon, due to injuries
among the regulars, there is ev
ery indication that the men who
have not yet earned letters will
be on the field more than half
the time; that is, of course, unless
Spec Keene’s Bearcats pull off
some sort of medieval miracle.

There’s always a lot of kick to
watching the reserves do their
stuff. The more famous of tha
