NUMBER 74 Novel Ideas On Kappa Sig Radio Hour Tap Dance and Organ Solo On Tonight’s KORE Broadcast PALMER WILL DIRECT Phi Delt Program Not To Go on; House Asks Later Date A tap dance by Hal Hatton, and a pipe organ solo to be broadcast by remote control from the Fox McDonald theater are two of the novel stunts prepared by Kappa Sigma for their radio offering to night in the Emerald-KORE con test. Bob Beck will be at the con sole of the McDonald theater or gan for the organ number. Omar “Slug” Palmer and Hal Hatton, joint program directors for Kappa Sigma, announce their offering as the “School Days” idea. The program will start at 8:30 p. m. Phi Delta Theta, which was scheduled to appear on tonight’s program, has requested a post ponement of its broadcast, on the plea that its presentation is not yet ready to go on the air. Con sequently, this evening’s program will be only one half-hour in dura tion. With the Kappa Sigma program the Emerald-KORE contest enters the last half of its schedule. There still remain 21 houses who are yet to be heard in competition for the 9-tube Majestic radio which has been offered by McMorran and Washburne as grand prize. Norton Pleased Fred Norton last night ex pressed complete confidence that the remaining weeks of the pro gram would be as successful as the first three weeks. “The contest, now half over, has succeeded even better than we had hoped,” Norton said. “I believe that much of the credit for this belongs to the houses who are competing, for the excellent pro grams that they have prepared, and the cooperation they have given the directors of the project. So far as we are able to learn, nothing like it has ever been at tempted before. One House Withdrawn “So far, only one house, Delta Tau Delta, has definitely with drawn from the contest. I hope that no more houses ask for post ponements of their broadcast dates, since it is only by chance that we may be able to find a place for them on a later part of the schedule.” Frank Hill, director of station KORE, announces that a large number of letters has been re ceived daily since the competitive broadcasting started. Many of the communications, according to Hill, are from points in Washington and California, indicating the wide spread attention which the con test has attracted. Edit Outstanding Country Paper Rewarded fo.. g Mr. and Mrs. Ve u the large silver lo g fessional journalist ^ efforts to publish an excellent weekly paper, Kinney, of the Hillsboro Argus, were given p offered by Sigma Delta Chi, national pro rnity. -.« Tli c Moving Finger -o YELL LEADER APPOINTIVE MANAGERIAL SYSTEM . . . -By OLIVER POLITICUS Despite the favor that it has received, the proposal for mak ing the office of yell king appoint ive instead of elective has several minor problems. It is almost cer tain that the plan will be adopted, for the present administration proposed it, the present yell leader endorsed it, and the campus seems to accept it. The first question after that general agreement is “Who appoints him?” * * * If the power is given to the president the office may still remain political. If it is given to the executive council there may be some who would dislike seeing any further power go to that body. Yet it must go to one or the other of the two. * * * The system chosen will probably be the managerial. That is, there will be a pyramid type organiza tion, with promotion based on amount of work and ability cou pled with the recommendation of the immediate superior of the can didate. The plan has worked well for sports, music, and other activ ities, so there is not very much danger of it proving faulty for yell leading. * * * That managerial side needs a little explanation. Several stu dents having evinced dissatisfac tion with present procedure be cause of the Florida football in cident. They expect a remedy for such a situation to be incor porated in the constitution. That can hardly be done if a clear and concise document is expected. * * * Such matters belong to the ex ecutive (pouncil at present, and their duties need not be specifical ly listed. The constitution should be but a pattern for the student government, its officers a temper ed reflection of student opinion, and its double check the Univer sity officials and the proposed judiciary. Many Small Printing Shops Do Hand Work Says R.F.Lane "i-rmung is young, democratic, and the most influential art in the world,” said Robert F. Lane, instructor of mechanical compo sition at Carnegie Institute of Technology, and graduate of Ore gon in 1926, in a talk before Dean Eric W. Allen's class in printing and publishing yesterday i.ftep noon. “In this age of machinery we k expect things to be done over night,” said the former Oregon student, who despite his youthful appearance, speaks as a crafts man with a deep knowledge of his art. “We picture great presses in large rooms doing a hurried busi ness,” he continued, “but in the United States today there are 3,000 small print shops where the type is taken from cases a letter at a time, the pages carefully composed, the printing done in a private press, the ink put on, the paper wet, the folding, and the binding all done by hand. These painstaking printers whose indi ^ vidual enterprise is developing the fine art of printing have a public of about 25,000 which can appre ciate and pay for their work.” Patronage, he said, has played an important part in the develop ment of printing. The kings and monks supported many of the great printers of early times, and now people with an incentive of building up private libraries by purchasing the books of contem porary printers are aiding. “In former days the printer was a scholar, now be is a scholar, an artist, a technician, and a business man,” said Mr. Lane. Mr. Lane believes that Emery Walker is the man behind the modem renaissance of printing which began with William Morris in 1890. Speaking of a little bok of 48 pages which he took six months to ; print because he was making it ; an example of fine printing, Mr. Lane voiced the feeling of those 1 who print as artists. He said, j “My book is part of me and I am | part of it.” Junior Shine Day Set This Week if J. Pluvius Lets up Women in Gypsy Dress Will Sell ickets In Houses Best Seller; Lucky Number To Be Given Prizes Women will have complete charge of ticket sales for Junior Shine day this year, according to Reba Brogdon, ticket chairman for the event which is to be held later this week if weather condi tions will permit. A committee of 14 women will sell tickets on the entire campus, taking the place of the usual house representatives. Dressed in the traditional gypsy costumes of Jun ior Shine day, members of the committee will visit various living organizations on the campus this evening during the dinner hour to begin sales. The woman selling the most tickets for the affair will receive a prize, Bill Pittman, general chairman for Shine day, announced yesterday. Each ticket will be numbered, and a prize will be also awarded to the person holding the lucky number. A public drawing will be held the morning of Shine day to determine the winner. The nature of the prizes will be disclosed later. “A shine for a dime” will again be the rule, that is for everything but boots. Since these take more polish and more shining, they will cost a dime apiece, or 20 cents. Speakers will be chosen soon by Harriet Kibbee to inform members of living organizations of the na ture of the affair. Women who will sell tickets are: Amy Porter, Alberta Rives, Katherine Langenberg, Rena Eg gersdorf, Gladys Clausen, Thelma Kem, Margaret Cummings, Phyllis Van Kimmell, Jane Cullers, Alice Morrow, Marjorie Clark, and Et tabelle Kitchen. Bills for Housing Must Be in Friday Last Day Set for Delegate Housing Claims House managers who have not yet turned in claims for compen sation for the housing of delegates to the high school conference must do so before Friday in order to receive compensation, Day Foster, who was general chairman of the conference, announced yesterday. The houses will be paid at the rate- of $1 per person per day, as previously announced, provided the house managers turn in the proper tickets to Eleanor Flana gan. In cases where the tickets have been lost or where the dele gates did not give them to the managers they should notify Miss Flanagan so that proper adjust ment can be made. Art Professors Hold Exhibit of Own Work An exhibit of work done by fac ulty members of the school of ar chitecture and allied arts is on display this week in the little gal lery of the Architecture building. The work includes all the differ ent phases of work in the school, such as paintings, drafts, draw ings, sculpture, etc. 19 Hours I s Is Record Set By G. Wickham Women Take All Three Top Places on Fall Term Grade Sheet 19 SCORE ABOVE 89 Men Take Eight Places on Roll of High Point Fiends Making 95 points—the highest number possible to make in the University—is the accomplishment of Mrs. Golda C. Wickham of Roseburg, a sophomore in educa tion. Mrs. Wickham carried 19 hours fall term and received a grade of I in all her courses. This is probably a record at the Uni versity, it is declared by officials in the statistician’s office who have just released information on high grades for the fall term. Tie for Second Place Constance Bordwell, Portland,' junior in English, and David C. Williams, Portland, a sophomore in mathematics, tied for second place with 92 points each. Doris Helen Patterson, Eugene, junior in music, was next, earning 88 points, and was followed closely by Hazel M. Miller, Eugene, senior in romance languages, whose total was 87 points. In addition to these outstanding students, the following made 81 or more points for their fall term’s work: Jesse Douglas, Portland, junior in history, 85 points; Her bert J. Doran, Eugene, junior in sociology, Lewis Fendrich, Eugene, freshman in mathematics, and Wendell Smith, Klamath Falls, senior in English, 83 points e^ch. Music Majors Rate ' Margaret Cummings, Klamath Falls, junior in music, and Marion Fluke, Independence, sophomore in music, each 82 1-2; La Wanda Fenlason, Portland, senior in his tory, Edith Winestone, Portland, sophomore in mathematics, Ruth Jaynes, Eugene, senior in physical education, and Herbert Pate, Eu gene, junior in music, 82 points; Ernest A. Alne, Astoria, junior in business administration, Edward D. Kittoe, Portland, junior in Eng lish, Louise C. Harris, Ontario, California, and Stella A. Holt, Eu gene, senior in education, 81 points. Women’s Debate Team Starts Tour — Three on Northwest Trip To University Cities The varsity women’s debate squad of the University of Oregon, left yesterday afternoon on their “home wrecking expedition” to the University of Idaho at Moscow and the Washington State college at Pullman. The team, composed of Mary Klemm, Margaret Edmunson, and Florence Holloway as substitute, will uphold the negative side of the question: “Resolved that the modem diversion of women from the home to business and indus trial occupations is detrimental to society.” These debates promise to be very interesting and entertaining if the earnestness of the team members is of any consequence. They firmly believe that women’s place is not “behind the veil.” In both instances a critic judge will be used, and the length of the speakers’ main constructive talks and rebuttals will vary in each debate. This will make it neces sary for the Oregon women to re organize their speeches before each debate. Frosh Cabinet Officers To Be Installed Today Frosh Commission Cabinet offi cers will be installed this after noon at the Five o’clock vesper service in the bungalow. The girls who will take office at that time are: president, Lucille Kraus; vice-president, Jean Lennard; sec retary, Eileen McIntyre; treasurer, Nora Jane Stewart; sergeant-at arms, Aimee Sten; project chair man, Elizabeth Scruggs; program chairman, Clare Maertens; social chairman, Betty Jones. Eldress Judd, president of Y. W„ will be in charge of the ceremony, and there will be special music by i the vested choir. Elected Head i --- At the conference of Oregon’s newspaper men held Friday and Saturday of last week, Louis Fel shelm, of the Bandon Western World, was chosen president. He will officiate throughout the com ing year until the thirteenth an nual conclave. Edlefsen Reveals Feature Program For Sopli Banquet Weber's Bund, Good Eats, No Speeches, Trio, Dance Slated Tickets Must Be Turned in Tonight to Evans George Weber’s orchestra, a trio composed of Maxine Glover, Mar jorie Clark and “Slug” Palmer, no speeches, dancing until 8 o’clock, and “a real dinner that will stick to the ribs” will be some of the features of the “no date” Sopho more banquet to be held at the new men’s dorm St. Valentine's day, according to Jack Edlefsen, chairman of the event. Speaking of the banquet Edlef sen, who was appointed by Jack Stipe, soph prexy, to act as chair man of the affair in place of Bob Van Nice who has been forced out of school because of illness, said: Banquet at 5:45 Friday “The banquet will start at 5:45 sharp so that those who are at tending formals that night will have ample opportunity to go home and get dressed. Those who wish to stand and dance will be able to do so until 8 o’clock. It’s going to be a great affair and, believe me, the menu is going to be out of the ordinary." The decorations, as yet, as some what of a mystery, but Mary Gray, chairman of the decorations com mittee, stated that they are to be in keeping with the St. Valentine’s uixy moLir. Walter Evans, who is in charge of the ticket sale for the event, has reported a brisk sale of the tickets in the various living or ganizations and among the Eu gene students. He urges that all sophomores pay their 60 cents for a ticket today inasmuch as all salesmen are asked to turn in their tickets to Evans before 7:30 tonight so that those in charge of the event will know approximate ly how many students to expect. Stipe Wants Turn-out Speaking of the banquet Jack Stipe, sophomore president said: “As this banquet is the first event of what promises to be a lively schedule of activities for the sophomore class during the re mainder of the school year, it is imperative that every sophomore possible turn out. It will be the first time this year that members of the class will have the chance of getting together socially in one unit. It’s going to be a great af fair and we want to put it over with a bang!’’ Senior Ball Tickets Put on Sale at Co-op For the benefit of those men who are not affiliated with living organizations on the campus 50 tickets for the Senior Ball will be placed on sale at the Co-op today, Day Foster, chairman of the dance, announced yesterday. Those men who have already purchased tickets for the dance should present them at the Co-op at once and get invitations to the dance. Grade Sheet Changes Are Considered Harold Hildreth Is Chosen To Represent Men's Dormitories SEVEN ON COMMITTEE Agreement To Be Reached For Revised Basis of Figuring Grades snail mere ne a grade nsr or not? If there is such a list, upon what basis should it be figured? These questions will be discussed today by a joint committee from inter-fraternity council and heads of houses. During the past week both of these organizations have met sep arately and have come to the con clusion that some changes are nec essary in the present method of placing living organizations on the grade sheet. The recommenda tions that the committee meeting today makes will be considered in turn by the inter-fraternity coun cil and heads of houses. The name of Harold Hildreth was added to the committee from interfraternity council yesterday by Hugh Biggs, assistant dean of men. Hildreth will represent the men’s dormitories on the grade question. It was suggested by the Emerald and other interested parties that inasmuch as all liv ing groups were included on the grade list, all groups should be represented on the committees dis cussing possible changes. Only members of Greek letter organi zations are included in interfrater nity council. Margaret Clark, president of heads of houses, announced yes terday that the committee from that group would be composed of Naomi Hohman, Mary Frances Dilday, and Marjorie Chester. The committee from interfrater nity council consists of Carvel Nelson, Henry Baldridge, Paul Wagner, and Harold Hildreth.

Dr. Hall Called A way On Business Sunday Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, presi dent of the University went to Portland Sunday on business. It is expected that he will return this noon. Stoddard Flays Stand Of Barometer; Says ApologyNotNeeded i Jack Benefiel Turns Bookworm In Convalescence Nursing his cracked rib along, Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, reads a voluminous and inspiring list of books.

Governor Invites Oregon Professor To Give Views on Topic Need Felt for Uniform Economic Prosperity At an economics conference at tended by representatives of busi ness interests, organized labor, city organizations, and students of economic problems, Dr. Louis A. Woods, associate professor of eco nomics, has been asked to give his advice based on the result of his intensive study of the ques tions to be brought up. The conference, which has been called by Governor A. W. Norblad to consider ways and means of in suring uniform economic prosper ity for the state and continuous employment for labor, will meet today in the Multnomah hotel in Portland. “Dr. Wood is an expert in the field of labor and employment problems,” stated Dr. James H. Gilbert, dean of the college of lit erature, science, and the arts, yes terday. He was absent last year on leave and made an intensive study of employment problems in connection with several Important railways in the east." The question of seasonal em ployment, which is of great im portance in Oregon because of the many industries which are limited to a part of the year only, will be one of the chief topics of dis cussion at today’s meeting. The conference comes as a re sult of President Hoover’s recent exhortation of the states to stand ardize employment and prevent the business depression which must almost necessarily follow a crash on Wall street such as occurred recently. Aggie sheet Furnishes Admission of ‘Guilt’ From Student Body And Athletic Heads Scliissler Denies Making Statements Regarding a Break in Relationship Denying glaring assertions of unqualified apologies which ap peared in the Oregon State Ba rometer after a conference of school officials, Tom Stoddard, president of the student body, yes terday declared that Oregon’s al leged discourtesies were at a mini mum. “If It is true that the conduct of Oregon students was such that necessitates apology,” states Stod dard, “then I am willing to do so.” Newspaper reports hold that ready admission of “guilt in unsports manlike conduct” was made by the Oregon student body president. It is also stated that immediate apology was given at an im promptu conference between Paul J. Schissler, director of athletics of Oregon State college, Ranson Mainke, president of the Oregon State student body, Coach Bill Reinhart, and Stoddard, held to discuss the condition between the two schools. Report Denied Reports of high feeling regard ing the relationship between the two schools have been received here, with the rumor of statements made by Schissler threatening to "sever athletic relations” between the two schools. Although this has been denied by the Oregon State athletic director, information has disclosed its possible authen ticity. Declaring that he saw no ill feeling between the two institu tions at the game last Saturday night, Schissler states that, at a meeting of the O. S. C. student body prior to last Fridhy night’s game, he made a speech request ing them to remain on good be havior and to treat the Oregon players courteously. Co-operation Asked In a statement made by Brad shaw Harrison, president of the Order of the O, he compliments the Oregon Staters on their cour tesy to Oregon students while in that city, and declares that every effort was taken by Order of the O men to create a friendly atti tude at the game Saturday night. Members of the organization vis ited every fraternity on the Ore gon campus, giving advice regard ing good behavior at the games. Answering one of the accusa tions of discourtesy made by offi cials of the state college that the Oregon fans “booed” Buck Gray son, Oregon State player, when he (Continued on Page Three) Chinese Maid From Corvallis Views First Basketball Game A gentle-voiced Chinese maid,, named Mae Ding, who came all the way from Foochow, China, last fall, to go to school at Cor vallis, watched her first basketball game in Eugene Saturday night. She sat on the front row and dis tinguished herself by showing her American hostesses how to be ex cited—quietly. Before the game Mae had her first dinner at a sorority house, heard University of Oregon songs for the first time and spent an hour translating prosaio American names like Smith and Graham into fascinating little Chinese symbols. To the co-eds who spent the evening with her, Mae was like a delightfully sweet whiff from far climes. She is not Americanized —and why should she try to be, when she has a quiet dignity and a demure charm all her own? Though her hair is bobbed, Mae Ding has not adopted the dress of American co-eds. She wore a bro caded silk dress, with high neck and a coat of a light Chinese fur, | different from any American kind. The Chinese visitor received her B. A. degree from Hoi Nan col lege where she plans to teach home economics after she has taken her degree at Corvallis. She is residing at Snell hall on the state college campus. She likes American students ever so much because they are so "sociable,” she says. #"In China we study all the time, too much, I think.” (And when an Oregon student suggested that perhaps it was the American students who study not enough, Mae answered discreetly, with a smile.) The visitor liked basketball. She had a dimpled smile and applauded when ever her school scored. Oregon co-eds invited her to visit them during International week in which she seemed hearti ly interested. Miss Ding was here as the guest of Miss Mabel Mor ton, press conference delegate from the La Grande Evening Ob server who came to know the vis iting student through a mutual missionary friend, Dr. Ida Belle Lewis, now director of Hoi Nan college.
