In the school of journalism. The
survey will be under the direction
of Dean Eric W. Allen, Dr. Ralph
D. Casey, and Professor George S.
Turnbull, all members of the
school of journalism faculty.
The survey was first planned to
be a part of the state survey to
be made by Dr. A. B. Hall, presi
dent of the university, but it is
now to be a supplement to the
economic survey recently com
pleted by the school of business
administration.
Support Given
Leaders of civic bodies believed
to be important in creating public
opinion in Eugene are giving their
hearty support and co-operation
to the project. Among these are
the following:
H. E. Wilder, mayor of Eugene;
H. W. Goold, superintendent of
schools; Frank Jenkins, editor of
the Eugene Register; William
Tugman, editor of the Eugene
Guard; Roy Booth, president of
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Rotary Club; David M. Graham,
president of the Kiwanis Club;

Assignments Made
The six students of the class
have each been assigned to a dif
ferent section of the survey. In
addition to the separate studies,
the students will discuss in semi
nar methods used in the survey
of other American communities.
Lawrence Mitchelmore, a grad
uate student, will study the influ
ence of the Eugene churches on
the public opinion of the city. He
will. also make a survey of reli
gious journalism in the United
States, and will use the informa
tion in his study of the local sit
uation.
A study of the history of public
opinion in Eugene will be made
by Joe Brown, senior in journal
ism. Brown will study particu
larly the times when important
issues arose in the city.
Club Purposes Sought
Ralph Millsap, another senior
in journalism, will study the aims
and purposes of service clubs,
women’s clubs, commercial organ
izations, and lodges, and the part
they play in forming public opin
ion.
Working for her master’s de
gree, Jeanette Calkins, editor of
Old Oregon, alumni magazine,
will study the public opinion of

The Crook!
He Laid an Egg
And Got Pinched
London—(I.P.) — The lower
animals were placed on a legal
equality with human beings in
olden days, according to an ar
ticle in The Law Journal here.
The journal points out that in
ancient times an animal which
killed a man, was sentenced to
die the same as a man would
have been under similar circum
stances. As late as 1383 in
Ireland, a rooster was sentenced
to be burned at the stake for
the crime of laying an egg.
GEOLOGY STUDENTS
EXPLORE MINES
Seven structural geology stu
dents went through the Black
Butte mercury mines, Saturday,
according to Dr. Warren D.
Smith, head of the geology depart
ment, who accompanied the group.
The previous day a number of the
students went up in an airplane
to study surface features and Sat
urday went into the quick-silver
mine to study the interior of the
earth.
The class went about a half a
mile into the mountain, the work
ings being tunnels drilled at suc
cessive levels into the side of
Black Butte. They went through
the surface plant, which includes
the immense retorts in which the
mercury is separated from the ore.
The mines, which are located
about 40 miles south of Eugene,
are the largest of the type in the
state, and their general manage
ment is in the hands of Robert
Betts, Eugene resident.
Students making the trip were:
Robert Heitkemper, Prince Helf
rich, Meredith Sheets, Alan Briggs,
Charles Marlatt, Alexander Elba
sani, and Howard King.
TRADE CLASS SEES
PORTLAND HARBOR
On Saturday morning before
the game some of Professor Wil
liam A. Fowler’s foreign trade
students went around Portland
harbor.
A visit was made to the new
Elrod terminal and the class went
aboard a German motor-ship, the
Havel, of the North German Lloyd
line. The assistant harbor master
of the Port of Portland, Mr. Hoss,
acted as guide during most of the
trip.
"The chief item of interest on
the vessel was the motor, a Diesel,
which is in two units and will de
velop 4,500 horse power. The ves
sel itself maintains a speed of
15 knots,” said Fowler.
Professor Alfred L. Lomax, of
Portland extension service, w^s
unable to join the party because
of illness.
RESTAURANT IN THE AIR IS
VER Y LA TEST THING IN EUROPE
“A Restaurant in the Air.”
Huh ? What's that, something
like an imaginary castle floating
in the clouds? Sounds fantastic,
you bet, but it isn't. In fact it is
a unique and beautiful reality over
in the architectural exposition
room in the school of architecture
and the allied arts. It is no other
than an elaborate, artistic, highly
technical, colored drawing, de
signed by Alwin E. Rigg, new in
structor in the school.
This type of ultra-fashionable
restaurant is in actual existence
over in Europe, Mr. Riggs says.
It is where people can dine on
several different serving levels
and look out over the swaying
tree tops. This work and another
piece of his designing, "A Depart
ment Store,” is shown in conjunc
tion with a display of students’
work from the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology.
The exhibit is made possible
through the kindness of Dean Wil
i liam Emerson, of that institute,
from whom it was recently re
ceived.
The display delineates the dif
ferences in the types of work that
is being done in the two schools.
Both rank high among the archi
tectural schools of the United
States. Oregon, according to Mr.
Rigg, a graduate of the Massa
chusetts Tech, leans more toward
the practical side, aiming to de
velop the student to the utmost in
the conception and working out

In the Eyes of a Dreamer
A model of the memorial to Louis H. Sullivan, noted architect,
designed by VV. R. B. Wilcox, professor of architecture. Professor
Wilcox has made no plans for the ultimate erection of the structure,
and explains that his admiration for the architect is his motive for
the work. The model, erected with the help of Professor Wilcox’s
students, stands in the center of one of the bare rooms of the Archi
tecture building.
Frosh Prepare
For Washington
Yearling Game
Remainder of Schedule Is
Announced by Office
Graduate Manager
Rooks to Meet Frosli at
Medford, Nov. 9
With the first of their scheduled
five games out of the way Prink
Callison's freshman football team
is starting on a week’s intensive
practice in preparation for the
game with the University of Wash
ington freshmen, to be played
here, October 26, while the varsi
ties of the two institutions are
holding forth at Seattle.
The remainder of the schedule
as announced by Graduate Mana
ger Jack Benefiel’s office is as fol
lows:
University of Washington
Frosh, Oct. 26, at Eugene.
Centralia Junior College, Nov.
1, at Eugene.
Oregon State Rooks, Nov. 9,
at Medford.
Oregon State Rooks, Nov. 15,
at Corvallis.
This will give the Yearlings a
well balanced season climaxed
with a two game series with their
traditional rivals, the Rooks, and
they will have plenty of competi
tion before then to insure that they
will be in shape when they meet
the Corvallis team.
Practice last night was fairly
easy and gave the men a chance
to get over the bruises they re
ceived in Friday’s game. Only
one slight injury was suffered in
the Indian tilt, Jack Hughes hav
ing his knee slightly wrenched. He
was out for practice, however, and
will only have to take it easy for
a few days. To compensate this
injury Dan Sheehey was out for
practice for the first time since
he was hurt the early part of last
week. He seems fully mended and
should be back in shape shortly.
Though the regulars showed
their stuff Friday it was particu
larly gratifying to see the wealth
of reserve material available. Sev
eral of the men on the second team
showed to good advantage, among
them, Rans and Lewis in the back
field. The former looked particu
larly good and can replace any of
the regulars without causing a loss
in the strength of the team.
Historical Society
To Meet in Eugene
The Pacific coast branch of the
American Historical Association
will hold its annual meeting De
cember 27 and 28 here on the
campus. This is the first time
the association has met in Eu
gene.

Tliirty-one Hikers Make
Trip up McKenzie
River
Clear Atmosphere Adds to
Joys of Climb
A remarkable view through the
clear atmosphere repaid the ef
forts of those who climbed Bel
knap crater with the Obsidian
club last Sunday. Thirty-one per
sons, including several university
faculty members and students,
made the ascent.
The Obsidian cabins, 67 miles
up the McKenzie river, were oc
cupied Saturday night by the
group, who staged an evening
program of stunts and singing.
Sunday morning at 7:30 the
cars were driven to the shelter
house near the summit, where
they were left. The party then
clambered over about three miles
of very rough lava to the crater,
returning by a different route.
Mountains which could be seen
included Mt. Washington and
Three-Fingered Jack as well as
the North and Middle Sisters. Ir
rigated fields near the towns of
Sisters and Bend could be descried.

NINE ACTIVITIES PROFIT
* * * * * * * * *
Two Factors Cause Apparent Losses ami Small Profits
To be Misleading
By REX TUSSING
Editor's Note: This is the fourth
of a series of surveys by Rex
Tussing, associate editor of the
Emerald, briefly outlining the di
rection of student income and ex
penditure through official chan
nels.
Opposed to the numerous activ
ities which lost money for the A.
S. U. O. for the current year
1928-29 there are nine funds
which broke into the credit side
of the ledger. Varsity football,
the Canoe Fete, the Emerald,
Gridgraph, Homecoming, Oregana,
Oregon Knight sweater deposits,
Order of the “O,” and the student
directory all show a paper profit.
However, two factors must be re
membered.
i The greatest of these is that
student tickets are not listed pro
portionately; that is, football gate
receipts do not receive a percent
age of student card registration
fees, nor do any of the other ac
tivities. Instead, the income is
placed in the student funds and
all payments are made from it.
Hence gate receipts show only
those collected from non-students.
The other, and lesser, though
none the less misleading factor, is
that some funds can receive
money but have slight operating
expenses. For instance, the Ore
gon Knight sweater deposits can
mean only income greater than
outgo, but not a true profit.
To discount correctly profits
and losses we must count up the

Enoch Bagshaw Ready to Resign
Post as Head Coach of Huskies;
School Officials Take No Action
Failure of 1929 Team to Defeat Montana, U. S. C.
and W. S. C. Causes Increase in Agitation for
Change; Action May Appear at Once
Following months of fighting
between himself and the student
body officials, Enoch W. Bagshaw
is ready to resign as head coach
at the University of Washington,
according to reports received from
that territory.
The fight to remove Bagshaw
began last winter and the faculty
athletic commission refused to
sanction the breaking of his con
tract which has yet two years to
run.
When his 1929 team was tied
by Montana and beaten by the
University of Southern California
and finally by Washington State,
Bagshaw made a statement that
he was ready to step aside as soon
as a financial arrangement in re
gard to his contract could be
made.
Earl Campbell. Husky graduate
manager, said that some action
was necessary in regard to Bag
shaw in view of two important
games, especially important from
a box office standpoint which
Washington faces with Oregon
and Stanford.
Dr. M. Lyle Spencer, president
of the university, did not com
ment on the new developments,
saying that the affair was one for
Bagshaw, the board of control, and
the athletic commission to handle.
Under the terms of the con
tract Bagshaw would receive $16,
000 if it were purchased by the
student body. His possible succes
sor is as yet entirely undecided.

Advance Shown
I n Disarmament
Of Naval Powers
Meeting of MacDonald and
Hoover Instrumental
Says Mez
Peace Through Militaristic
Powers Flayed
One of the biggest forward steps
toward the success of the forth
coming naval disarmament con
ference, thinks Dr. John R. Mez,
professor economics and political
science, was achieved when Ram
say MacDonald, premier of Great
Britain, left the United States af
ter a conference with President
Hoover on naval parity.
It is a new thing in international
dealings for the representatives of
the two greatest nations of the
world to join in full sincerity for
the purpose of advancing the cause
of disarmament, declared Dr. Mez.
“In the past it has been custom
ary for statesmen to follow the
old method of attempting to se
cure peace from within each na
tion through increasing military
and naval forces. To what results
this leads has been the bitter les
son of the world war. That the
new method of international con
ferences is a more hopeful one has
been amply demonstrated by the
truly magnificent welcome extend
ed to Mr. MacDonald by the Amer
ican people.’’
Public Opinion Strong
The instruments of force must
be replaced by instruments of law,
Dr. Mez believes, for the disarma
ment to become effective. Public
opinion is undeniably behind this
armament conference, but if in
the future disputes are to be set
tled by pacific means, which 50
nations have pledged themselves
to resort to, then these pacific
means must be defined and per
manently established.
The hope of all students of In
ternational affairs is not only to
have the United States cooperate
with the great naval powers but
also see this nation join the per
manent court of international jus
tice, he added.
Disarmament Effective
Dr. Mez pointed out that wher
ever disarmament has been carried

With Huskies U
Nearly two thousand university
and over two hundred medical
students saw Oregon deal a spec*
tacular defeat to Idaho Saturday,
it has been announced from the
office of the graduate manager,
A total of about nineteen thou
sand, including the university stu
dents, witnessed the game.
Tickets for the Washington
game are being placed on sale to
day at the Co-op, according to
Doc Robnett, assistant graduate
manager. The price is to be the
same as that of the Idaho game
tickets, one dollar, and student
cards will be punched as before.
A whole section of 350 seats has
been reserved for Oregon rooters,
and a section has also been re
served for the general public.
Tickets for others than university
students are to be placed on sale
at the office of the graduate man
ager Wednesday.
Tickets for the game with U,
C. L. A. in Eugene on Dad’s day,
November 2, are already on sale
at the Co-op, the office of the
graduate manager, Luckey's cigar
store, Headershott’s sporting goods
store, and Obak’s cigar store, at
$2.00 each. Students, of course,
will be admitted on their student
body cards.
During its Portland stay for the
Idaho-Oregon game, the univer
sity band excited a great deal of
favorable comment. Oberservers
state that the work of the organ
ization in the various rallies and
at the stadium was exceedingly
fine and that John H. Stehn, di
rector, deserves much credit for
his work.
The university quartet received
much credit for its work in the
radio rallies, in which Jack Bene
fiel, graduate manager, Doc Rob
nett, assistant graduate manager,
Tom Stoddard, A. S. U. O. presi
dent, and Paul Hunt, Greater Ore
gon committee chairman, also
took part. The quartet, consist
ing of George Barron, Don Eva,
Bill McNabb, and John McMullin,
sang at various high schools of
Portland, as part of the extensive
advertising campaign for the
game.
A possibility that the group
may go to Seattle Saturday for
the Washington game was inti
mated at the office of the gradu
ate manager. A definite decision
is promised for Tuesday or
Wednesday.

'8-BALL’ SHOWS OREGON SPIRIT
BY CARRYING DRUM FOR BAND
Oregon has nowhere a more
loyal rooter than the little negro
boy who carried the bass drum
for the university band during its
stay in Portland last week-end.
“8-Ball,” as he was dubbed by
the members of the band, came
out of the crowd during a street
concert Friday evening, offered
his services to Harvey Wright,
drum-major, as a drum carrier.
His offer was accepted, and from
then on “8-Ball” was as much a
part of the band as the sousa
phone.
He waited patiently through
two radio programs Friday eve
ning and then returned to the
Heathman hotel with the band.
Six alums, with rare after-dinner
1 sentimentality, met the band out
side the hotel, and pleaded with
them to play “As I Sit and Dream
at Evening.”
The boys obligingly complied,
and after the rendition was over,
j "8-Bair’ found himself in posses*
| sion of six silver dollars which the
i grateful grads had tossed him.
j “8-Ball” had shown fine Oregon
spirit before, but now he became
genuinely enthusiastic.
Early the next morning, Band
Manager Joe Freck found him out
side the hotel, proudly wearing a
green polo shirt and an Oregon
rooter’s lid which he had bought
with a part of the evening’s rev
enue.
He went to lunch with the bandj
