VOLUME XXXI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1929 O NUMBER 23 This 'n That By Ron Hubbs Discrimination ... A New Song . . . About Sidewalks . . , JT is our suggestion that the Southern Pacific enter its Springfield bus in Homecoming noise parade. With as much clam or as an entire battery of field ar tillery and a few incidental ma chine guns, it delivers periodically a harrassing attack on class reci tations. The minions of the law are very diligent in seeking out student offenders who operate noisy automobiles. What particu lar virtue, may we ask, rests in the racket perpetrated by the busses? Why are they allowed to maintain a nuisance when the students are strictly prohibited from doing the same in a much lesser degree ? The noise at times is almost intolerable, and cer tainly in an age of mechanical achievement the difficulty could easily be remedied. We sincerely hope the bus compa'ny will find a damper for noise which would be far more appropriate to a Fourth of July celebration than a public carrier. rpHE noise committee comes forth with the idea to stimu late original composition and to produce a new variety of Oregon songs. To be the author of an entirely individual and original piece, .accepted by the student body as its official alma mater song, is a unique distinction. But the contest won’t end with this one result. If it is properly re sponded to, we should have an increased number of singable songs. The musical scores will receive the acid .test of popular approval as judged by the adap tability of the songs to group singing. There is going to be no element of arbitrary selec tion by a committee. The stu dents will choose their own. We repeat, it is an unusual oppor tunity for university musicians to originate a satisfactory alma mater song, and to receive the commendable approval of their fellow students. * * * TJWITH fear and apprehension we take up the cudgel against the newly acquired independence of women. Forsoothe to say, we are not going to swing very hard, and intend to confine our attack to a very minor problem. Cer tain very prominent members of the faculty have attributed the crowded condition on the sidewalk from Johnson to the education building to the reluctance of the women to give away any portion of their cherished right-of-way. However, the women can very ef fectively charge the men with cluttering up the sidewalk space in front of Oregon and Commerce. Let’s build more sidewalks and preclude any feud between sexes. * * * rpHERE is no more discouraging A task than attempting to lead a few hundred half-spirited stu dents in a yell practice. Obvious ly the purpose in holding tl^ese practices is to better organize the rooters in mass yelling. To ac complish this without the impetus furnished by a tense football game requires concentrated co-opera tion. It is practically impossible to teach students new yells during a big game, and so we choose the medium of impromptu practices and rallies. The yell staff needs student body co-operation to make these successful . . . not collegiate nonchalant indifference. Hall Returns From Travels Over Oregon Mother’s Clubs Formed in Many Cities; Tour Takes 10 Days GROUPS ARE FORMED President stresses Need For Co-operation With Outside Forces “The Mother’s clubs, which were successfully organized throughout the state in our recent tour will prove as beneficial to the mothers as their organizations will to the university,” declared Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall upon his return to Eugene yesterday. Accompanied by Mrs. Walter M. Cook, president of the Oregon Mother’s club; Mrs. J. F. Hill, president of Portland Mothers; and Miss Marian Phy, executive secretary of the mothers, Presi dent Hall and Dean Powers, of the extension division, have been trav eling about the state for the past 10 days in the interests of the Oregon Mother’s clubs. During the tour, besides form ing Mother’s clubs in every town visited, a complete course of study for Oregon Mothers dealing with the problems and policies of the university was outlined. This study, i.t is believed by Dr. Hall, will aid the university in carrying out its three primary functions; mainly to give intellectual and spiritual training, to conduct re search, and to foster adult edu cation. Mothers, Dads Have Job | “Spiritual training must re ceive the support of the home,” Dr. Hall said, “and it is the job of the mothers and dads to give this needed training. It is also the desire of the university to de velop a true relationship between the university, the students, and the parents.” The Mother’s clubs will be a large factor in this growth, Dr. Hall stated. Through the new course of study, which will be handled by leaders chosen by local groups, it is hoped that an intelli gent understanding of what the university accomplishes for their sons and daughters will be ob tained by the various Mother’s clubs. “An intense interest in the uni versity was shown all over the state,” Dr. Hall said. “The moth ers were enthusiastic over both the organization and*the course of study suggested.” ^uesuons uuuineu The outline contains questions and information on ten topics to be discussed by the grodps. The plan is to use this outline as a basis for open discussions and re ports. A complete description of all schools are contained in the outline, adequate information of living conditions and expense, an explanation of the honors system and other useful data. In each of the thirteen towns visited, a general meeting of Dads, Mothers and alumni was held, which was followed by separate meetings of the dads with Presi dent Hall, and mothers with Mrs. Cook. Both groups organized and elected officers in towns where this had not already been done. Every section of the state was fConlinued on Page Three) Students of Violin Display Talent In Excellent Recital at Auditorium By V. H. Lovers of the violin were in for a treat when Juanita Oskins and Esther Wicks, students in the school of music and pupils of Rex Underwood, presented a recital of delightful music before an atten tive and appreciative audience last night. Beginning the program with a duet by Bach, the two young vio linists, recipients of the Julliard scholarship, at once won the hearty applause of the audience. The first number “Concerto in D minor’’ introduced three definite types of music. Vivace, the first part, was offered with all the briskness of the professional and from the very start it could be sensed that the students were put ting whole-hearted effort into their playing. Largo, a second, was presented in its true sense, a solemn degree of movement. In stead* of being introduced for merely temporary effect it seemed the underlying motive for entire part. It was as a cradle rocking one to sleep. All the swager and life of the free violinist seemed to be brought out with the final movement of the first number. A quick lively, j and vivacious touch allowed ease from prevailing formality. Individual characteristics could be detected from the solo groups presented by both students, the first of which was given by Miss . Oskins. Leading this group was ' "Gypsy Dfince” by Nachez which | undoubtedly was the most fasci nating of the three. Enchantment | of a mysterious nature existed ' throughout every minor strain, and nothing could have seemed (Continued on Page Tm)_ Interest Shown In Dime Crawl Next Wednesday Is Slated For Jitney Dances inert; is iiiucn interest titiutii the campus in the first of the three Dime Crawls of the year, slated for next Wednesday.

In all of them I was disappointed to observe that none of the alumni knew any Oregon songs well enough to sing them even pass ably well. “Nor is this the fault of the alumni. It is a sign that our present songs are not of the type that become bound up with mem ories of the alma mater.’’ Tom Stoddard, president of the A. S. U.

Mysterious Fossils Discovered in Dark Basement of Old Villard FTNDER the scuffle of hundreds of pail s of feet, down in the basement of Villard, dark, low ceilinged, and dirt-floored, rest serenely and peacefully (not at all bothered by Professor Howe’s daily lit survey quiz and the trou bles that infest the upper regions of the building) the remains of mammoth whale bones, huge teeth, and head of some fossilized pre historic monster, who roamed this country, geology profs only know how long ago; funny shells, leaves, and rock formations that would make the profs over in Con don shout in glee. In one corner is an old-fash ioned folding bed, you know, the kind that looks as if it might fold up on you some night while you are asleep in it. Where it came from, why it is there, and where it is going, is a mystery. The building where English is taught is an appropriate place for folding beds. On top of it are two huge dilapidated coffee urns, the kind that used to be used at “Joe’s Place,” and other such elegant dining houses of yore. Mystery No. 2: why are the coffee pots there? A remnant of student life in the pre-Volstead days is a lone beer bottle, all cob-webby and dirty, but flaunting a gaudy label, “Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Lager Beer. Bottled by W. W. Renshaw, Eugene, Oregon,” perched on a table. Mystery No. 3. WHY was that bottle there and where did it come | from ?
