4 This 'n That By Ron Hubbs Russian Football . . . More Room Needed . . . ■ Wall Street Crash .... A Cultural Contribution . . rpHE serenity of Moscow has been seriously disturbed over the athletic situation. In fact the uninterrupted working week in troduced recently in Russian in dustry will flop, according to a Moscow newspaper, unless the A football schedules are changed. The new system operates to allow the worker every sixth day free. But this is not an advantage they claim, for football games continue to be scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays, and they are uhable to enjoy getting a day off in the mid dle of the week. We are chagrined to say the least. Here we thought we had a real problem fretting over the expose of our collegiate athletic subsidy, and we discover Russians are willing to go so far as to revamp their industrial sys tem in favor of football! Please page the Carnegie Foundation! * * * T^HILE the building urge has its • ' grip on the university may we plead for wider and WIDER side ^ walks? The big parade between the classes on Thirteenth street is painfully congested. The en trance walks to Commerce and Oregon buildings are always the locations for capacity crowds with • no right-of-ways observed for the pedestrian. If the students are re quired to be at a designated place at a particular time, the expedient thing to do would be to make physical locomotion possible. Any one who dares bfave the tide of humanity on the sidewalk—at a gait faster than the typical col legiate shuffle—is out to conquer the impossible. We are many, and. . . . we need sidewalk space. MONTH ago it was the temple ^ of power . . . the sanctum of the almighty dollar . . . the im peachable source of wealth. But our golden little playhouse, Wall Street, has burst with its own de flated importance, and the dear people must return to the irksome * task of making an honest living. This playing the stock market has always been a fascinating game . . . when the odds are in the in vestor’s direction. The willing provider of riches has turned, how ever, from a benevolent genii to a ruthless and harsh tyrant, de manding in return all that it has given. From the recent financial crash we’ll venture one conviction . . . money bet on a county horse race is a safer investment. * * * W/E look with favor and interest ,J at the series of concerts spon sored by the university faculty. Good taste in music is largely con ditioned by repeated opportunities to hear artists of merit. Students who are genuinely interested in establishing a worthwhile, cultural background should avail them selves of the opportunity to hear some of the finest music composed, as played by musicians whose in terpretive skill is undisputed. The f few minutes spent in listening to these enjoyable concerts is a prof itable investment. We hope that the attendance keeps increasing ... if for no other reason than to refute the indictment that a col legiate’s crowded existence has no room for cultural development. Dean to Visit Offices Of Portland Papers Dean Eric W. Allen, of the school of journalism, is leaving for Portland Thursday. While there he will visit several newspaper of fices in the city, and will call on prominent newspaper men. i Oregon Choir Selected; 47 Pass Tryouts New Group Organized to Give Campus Classic Type of Music BOARDMAN TO DIRECT Harold Ayres Selected to Accompany Students At Piano Forty-seven students have been named on the polyphonic choir of the -university, it was announced yesterday by Arthur Boardmab, head of the department of voice, and director of the choir. Harold Ayres has been selected as accom panist for the organization. The choir is a new institution, organized with the intention of producing classical and modern music witn an eye to the develop ment of a broad understanding and comprehension of this class of music in the student body. Will Be Sacred Music Much of the music presented will be of a sacred nature, but the choir will in no sense be a church organization, Mr. Board man states. It merely happens that sacred music offers the finest examples of polyphonic writing. The first year’s work of the body will consist largely of com positions of the earlier schools of Writers, with some attention being paid to Russian liturgical music and negro spirituals. When concerts are presented by the choir, it is not expected that the entire membership will be used at any one time, according to Mr. Boardman. Eugene Students Named Students named to the choir are: Grace Burnett, Pauline Guth rie, Dorothy LaBelle, Lucy Nor ton, Katherine Snapp, Anne Beck, Wanda Eastwood, Rose Simons, Joseph Gerot, Harry Lamb, Maur ice McNabb, Kenneth Rodener, John McMullen, Ralph Coie, Gif ford Nash, Eugene Pearson, and Gene Love, all of Eugene. Others selected for membership in the choir are: Sara Addleman, San Francisco, Cal.; Helen Ashli man, Salem; Thelma Breshears, Inez, New Mexico; Berenice Brown, Long Beach, Cal.; Cecil Coss, Medford; Ruth Griffin, Portland; Pauline Guthrie, Eu gene; Dena Lieuallen, Adams; Velma Powell, Moro; Betty Prin dle, Portland; Esther Saager, Freewater; Marthalee Taylor, Spo kane, Wash.; Nancy Thielsen, Sa lem; Margaret Simms, Salem; Helen Voelker, Cornelius. Many Win Posts Amelia Anderson, Long Beach, Cal.; Margaret Cummings, Klam ath Falls; Estelle Johnson, Port land; Agues Petzold, Oregon City; Rae Stevens, Juneau, Alaska; Winifred Tyson, Springfield; Ilo Wilson, Portland; Don Eva, Port land; Oley Frigaard, Colton; Thpmas Johnson, Hood River; Alan Kammerer, Portland; George Barron, Ashland; Alfred Frese, Springfield; Edward Fisher, Sa lem; Dale Robbins, Salem. Samara to Meet for Pledging Thursday Samara, honorary botany group for women, will meet Thursday at four o'clock to formally pledge Margaret Ramsey, graduate stu dent, who was recently elected to the organization. At this meeting, which will be held in room 304 Deady, initiation plans will also be made. Dr. Ethel Sanborn is adviser to the group, and Eleanor Flanigan is president. Ogle-Eyed Reporter Negligent As Missionary Bumps Forehead JMAGINE a well dressed, middle aged, partly bald, otherwise se date man down on his knees bump ing his forehead on the floor— “cracked!” you say? No, only Dr. Gilbert Lovell, formerly mis sionary to China and now secre tary of the Life Work department of the Board of Christian Endeav or of the Presbyterian church, demonstrating a Chinese way of greeting to an inquiring reporter. Mention of “kowtowing” had been made and immediately Dr. Lovell had pricked up his ears, and dropped to his knees to dem onstrate the correct Chinese meth of of doing such. Much to his surprise the reporter was accused of being negligent in his duty and given the explanation that the proper method in such a procedure was for the party being greeted to run forward and stop the guest from kowtowing on penalty of having to do the same himself if he were late in his duty. “One of the most devastating ideas of Chinese students,” said Dr. Lovell with a' smile, “is the | custoito of expressing their indig | nation at a poorly cooked or served i meal. At a given signal all of the boys in the dining hall raise their rice bowls and crash them on the ! floor. I had a hard time convinc ing them it wa3 not necessary in my school.” Another of the strange student compacts related was one in which the students made a compact with the cook that if one of them found I a centipede in his meat course the * [Continued on Page Three} Students to See Scrimmage of Varsity and Frosh This Aftetnoon At Grid Field; Stiff Battle Expected Yell Practice for Rooter* Scheduled by Jim Raley; Attendance of Freshmen Made Compulsory By Committee At 4:30 this afternoon the cam pus at large will be given an op portunity to see and judge for themselves the strength of both the Varsity and Frosh football teams when they meet in a real honest-to-goodness scrimmage, on tT 'ard field. h Cap McEwan and Prink r? n plan on making this y % age the basis on which to f ^ ^ ?ir lineups for the games sc S. % 1 at the end of the week an % C: of fight is expected as the % -S n the second teams are anxi ^ 5 r a chance to show their y Jim \ \ chairman of the rally commi /. -,as issued a statement urging Lne heads of the various living organizations to make an announcement about this big scrimmage at noon today and to make it compulsory for the fresh men to attend.

Any Student May Try Out for Cast Of Next Drama ‘The Last of Mrs. Cheney’ To be Directed by Cecil Matson Satire on English Society Conies Winter Term The dramatic department is planning a new procedure in se lecting the cast of the next Na tional Collegiate Player presenta tion, “The Last of Mrs. Cheney,” according to Cecil Matson of the drama department and director of the play. Under the new system, every student on the campus will have the opportunity to try for a part, whether or not he or she is a mem ber of the drama department. This has never been attempted before except for one instance when all campus men tried for parts in “Gods of the Mountains.” There are six men and eight women in the cast of “The Last of Mrs. Cheney.” Plans for the play which will be shown early in the second term, are nearly complete, said Mr. Matson. "The Last of Mrs. Cheney” is a satire on English society with a melodramatic plot involving a group of jewel thieves and is full of sparkling and sophisticated dia logue. It has been reproduced as a talking picture starring Norma Shearer and Basil Rathbon. It also had a recent Broadway run with Roland Young and Ina Claire. Frederick Lonsdale, the author, is characterized by Mr. Matson as one of the most brilliant English writers of the day. GRAD WILL SPEAK TO CLASS IN NEWS Miss Marian Lowry, '28, will speak to the class in elementary newswriting Thursday morning. Miss Lowry is now working for the Eugene Guard as society edi tor and special features writer. Her “Mirrors of Eugene” articles, sketches of well-known people about Eugene, have been appear ing regularly in the Guard for some time. The newswriting class has been writing biographies after the style of Miss Lowry, but, according to Dean Allen, the instructor, the students have not been having much success. For this reason she was asked to come and speak to them and give them some advice on the writing of these sketches. Miss Lowry worked her way through the school of journalism while attending the university. She is now regarded as one of the most effective reporters in Eu gene, according to Dean Allen. Dean Esterly Gives Account of Travels Dean Esterly’s account of her recent travels in European coun tries was the principal feature of j the regular bi-weekly meeting of the Cosmopolitan club, Tuesday evening in the Y hut. Music was furnished by Dionicio Baptista on the mandolin, and Vicente Espirito on the guitar. Music Program To be Presented Tuesday, Nov. 5 French Music Concert Is Postponed Since Announcement Second of Faculty Series On Schedule Originally scheduled for last night, the evening of French music program has been transferred to next Tuesday evening, it was an nounced yesterday. The story on the concert printed in yesterday morning’s Emerald is said to have caused some little misunderstand-'^ ing in the matter, since the first of the faculty series of concerts proved extremely popular, and it seemed likely that this second of the series would attract a large audience. ' The concert is to feature Pro fessor Rex Underwood, violinist, and Aurora Potter Underwood, pianist. Professor and Mrs. Un derwood were also featured in the first of the series, with Dr. John Mez, ’cellist. Music in the second is to be entirely classical, includ ing selections from Saint-Saens and Cesar Franck. THETA SIGMA PHI PLANS TEA NOV. 16 The local chapter of Theta Sig ma Phi, national women’s journal ism honorary, will entertain mem bers of the Corvallis chapter at a tea immediately after the home coming football game, Saturday, November 16. The women’s room of the Gerlinger building will be the scene of the affair. The custom of homecoming teas was started last year, when the Corvallis chapter entertained the Theta Sigma Phi’s from Eugene, after the game at Corvallis. Mary Frances Dilday will have charge of the affair. Punishment of Freshmen Starts Soon Order of O to Administer Paddles to Breakers Of Traditions RIDINGS TO SUPERVISE Oregon Knights to Watoli For Violations of Yearling Rules Paddling of freshmen on the library steps will be started this week. Thursday noon at 12:40 the first breaker of traditions re ported by the Oregon Knights will assume the ancient and time-hon ored angle on the steps and re ceive the punishment for their negligence, it was decided at a meeting of the Order of the "O" held at the Phi Delta Theta house last night. The lettermen will co-operate with the Knights to see that of fenders are meted out justice and punishment. A new system will be employed by the latter group in getting the names of frosh of fenders are meted out justice and the athletes last night. Duplicate Slips Chosen Each Knight will hand tj^ie freshman a slip when he discovers him breaking an Oregon tradition. He will keep a duplicate slip to be turned over to the Order of the “O." This system, Dezendorf pointed out, will eliminate any tendency to fake charges on the yearlings. Gordon Ridings was appointed chairman of the vigilance com mittee and will make arrange ments for a short speech on tra ditions to be given to the offend ing green-cappers on the steps be fore each paddling session. Tyrrel 'Lowry and Stan Almquist, to gether with Ridings, will meet with the traditions committee to arrange details. Slashing of the verdant lids or cutting them up in any way will be frowned on and will lead to a summons to library steps, it was brought out at the meeting. Oregon Traditions Listed Traditions, which if broken will lead to punishment, include: 1. Failure to wear green lid at all times. 2. Wearing a tuxedo at any time. 3. Failure to learn Oregon yells and songs. 4. Smoking on the campus. 5. Sitting on senior bench. Profits realized by the Order of the “O” from the two gridgraphs held this fall will be used to de fray expenses for the annual ban quet for alumni and undergradu ate lettermen. The group ruled last evening that all earners of letters will be considered mem bers, whether or not there was an Order when they were in school. Before the Homecoming game the annual march of the letter men will be held, with all mem bers outside the stadium on the frosh football field. The next meeting of the order will be held at the Beta house on November 12. RFPORT LACKS SUBSIDY * & * Student Funds Make No Mention of Aid Being Given Football Team; Subsidies Unneeded By REX TUSSING Editor's Note: This is the sixth 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. The Carnegie Foundation report on athletics sounded one of its fainter echoes when, soon after Fail! Ager i its issuance, two students invaded the u n i v e rsity comptroller’s of f i c e, and de manded of Paul Ager,. in charge of A. S. U. O. audits and re ports, the exact amount of money which was taken from them to subsidize foot t ban. 11 There were two errors in their guest. One was in the assump tion that football requires subsi dizing, the other that the report showed the game requires help, and not the players. An analysis of the football account shows two things. That football is profitable and that any aid given athletes is not through student funds. Note that this does not negate subsi dizing by other than student funds The first error has already been treated in previous articles, show ing that varsity football showed a profit for 1928-29 of $9,739.14. To repeat: “The greatest of these (misleading factors) is that stu dent tickets are not listed propor tionately; that is, football gate re ceipts do not receive a percentage of student card registration fees, nor do any of the other activities Instead, the income is placed in the student funds and all pay ments made from it. Hence gate receipts show only those collected from non-students.” Taken from the receipts of $62, (Continued on Fage Three^ Homecoming Lunch To Be Biggest Ever Film ‘Ed’s Co-ed’ To Have Premiere On November 15 Producers Declare Play Longest, Costliest Student Picture Year’s Work Necessary for Completion It took more than a year of planning and hard work on the part of many people to produce the eight reels of “Ed's Co-ed,” the Oregon campus movie, which is to have its world premiere at a midnight matinee in the Mc Donald theater Npvember 15. "Ed's Co-ed” is the longest, most elaborate, and most expen sive film ever produced by an American university or college group, according to its co-pro ducers, Carvel Nelson and Jim Raley. The idea of making a feature film with campus talent and back ing came to Nelson and Raley while working together in Pendle ton during the summer of 1928. Most of fall term last year was spent in gaining the consent of the university administration to film the picture, and it took all of the winter term in obtaining supplies and planning technical details. James Frank McBride, a Holly wood cameraman and technician, was engaged to direct the photog raphy. When the call for actors was sent out, 535 students re sponded and took screen tests at McArthur court. From this group a cast of seven leads was picked, and the actual work of production began about the first of April. Bad weather delayed the work, and the filming was not finished until the middle of June. It took three months to have the picture edited and the sub titles cut in at Jesse Sill’s film laboratory at Portland. BIGGS TO PRESIDE AT LAW SMOKER Hugh Biggs, assistant dean of men, will act as master of cere monies at the law school smoker, which will be held at 7:30 Thurs day night, at the College Side Inn, according to Ellis Reiter, chairman of the program commit tee. The program for the evening consists of speeches by E. O. Im mel, president of the Oregon State Bar association; Professor Hugh Ros3on; Lee Shaw, president of the law school student body; Wayne Morse.and Orlando Hollis, new members of the law school faculty. Dean Carpenter will de liver his annual welcome to the first-year men, and the program will proceed to the moot trials. The campus magician, Gibson Danes, better known as the sec ond Houdini, has also been se cured to help entertain the law school students. The entire law school and the alumni are invited to attend, Mr. Reiter stated, and many of the prominent attorneys from Port land and Eugene are planning to be here for the smoker. BANQUET PLANNED BY WESTMINSTER A delegation of Portland Pres byterians interested in the West minster foundation on the campus will be here to attend a banquet to be given at the Westminster house Friday evening. Westminster house, the center of social and religious life of the students who are affiliated with the Presbyterian church and oth ers who often are entertained by the student pastor and his wife, is maintained for the students at the university. A similar center is located on the campus at Cor vallis. The manse was built and dedi cated in 1925. Rev. John Max well Adams is the third student pastor to be on the campus, com ing here last year. STUDENTS FINED * * * FEE PAYMENTS LATE When the business office closed last Saturday noon there were still 185 students who had not paid their fees, making them lia ble to a three-dollar fine for late payment with an additional charge of 25 cents a duy for each day late. On Monday and Tuesday of this week over half of these delinquent fees had been taken care of, still leaving a considerable number outstanding. According to the business office, some of these fail ures to pay can be accounted for by students who have left school since registration. It will be possible for students to pay their fees for the rest of the week. If they do not pay by that time automatic suspension from classes will result. After a student has been suspended he must pay the amount he owes plus tines and then petition for reinstatement. Four Elected to Campus Y.M.C.A.
