Emerald Issued By Men Declared Best by Judges Women Journalists Plan Entertainment for Winning Staff If you chance to see certain per sons walking about the campus with haughty attitude and lofty eyebrow, you will know immedi ately they are journalists, for it was decided yesterday that the men had produced a better Em erald than the women. The males feel they have good reason to be supercilious for once. The judges were Mrs. George Turnbull, Ruth Newton, secretary to the director of public relations, Dr. Ralph D. Casey, professor of journalism, and Malcolm Epley, news editor of the Eugene Regis ter. “The margin of victory was not great,” the judges said in a writ ten statement made yesterday. “Indeed, after each judge had made his or her personal selec tion it required a meeting of the board to determine the winner.” Dave Wilson was editor of the winning paper, with Bob Allen as managing editor and Mary Klemm and Elise Schroeder were editor and*managing editor of the wom en’s paper.

The first one located was made in 1888 and smeared in blue paint, and the last one | recorded was March 7, 1980. A depressing sight was seen on the floor amid the old planks, the skeleton of a small bird, stretched in a natural po sition, where it had probably starved to death, having flown in the room looking for shelter. Near it a spider crept, and big flies buzzed frantically against the dusty panes. Varsity Co-eds Regain Honors With Debate Win University of California Women Drop Contest To Campus Team Married Women, Full-time Work Is Question The University of Oregon wom en debaters retaliated last night by "winning the decision from the University of California, on the question, Resolved: That the reg ular full - time employment of married women in gainful occupa tion outside the home should be discontinued. Frances Jordan and Bernice Woodard, who represented Oregon in the debate, upheld the affirma tive side of the question, while Oleta O’Connor and Margaret Hammond upheld the negative for California. Clara Smertenko Chairman Clara Smertenko, of the Latin and Greek department of the Uni versity, presided as chairman and Alvin O’Konsky, of the public speaking department at Oregon State college, acted as critic judge at the debate. The affirmative maintained that married working women are " a detriment to business because* they cause unemployment among men by working for lower wages. They affirmed that if the 2,000,000 married women were taken out of their work more men could have their jobs. The negative came back with the argument that we are only transferring productivity from one place to another, and women are only following their home indus tries to the factory. Regular Employment Flayed The fact that the regular full time employment of married wom en is detrimental to 'the women themselves and is eugenically un desirable to the race, was the an swer brought back by the affirm ative. The negative argued that women work not for luxuries and com forts but for necessity; they claimed that a home with no bread and butter, is no home. Bernice Woodard, the last speaker on the affirmative, came back with the old argument that you. can’t be a full-time mother on a part-time jol), Psychology Club To Have Movies Pictures To Be Shown of Many Scientists Motion pictures of psychologists from many parts of the world, who attended the International Con gress of Psychologists, will be shown Sunday afternoon at 5:30 at a meeting of the Psychology club at the home of Dr. R.

James T. Brown, who was a l professor of business administra • tion at Oregon last year, and who s is now living in New York, was s' walking home one dark and rainy night—but perhaps it would be best to let him relate the incident : as he told it in a letter recently received by Dean David E. Fa ville. “I was walking home one dark and rainy night while living in Brooklyn, and as I came up the steps approaching the New York tower of the bridge, two men stuck guns in my face and de manded, in no uncertain worBs, my money. I told them I had no i money, but they found my pocket book and thought it a good joke i when they found $35.00 in hard I earned cash. ‘‘Never did I see a time when j; io one was on the bridge—usually :wo policemen—one at each tower, Jut it was such a bad night not i person came along so they searched me at will and found my vatch. It was worth over $200 ind I certainly regretted losing t. They ordered me to walk on :o Brooklyn so I had several times is far to go as they had, since hey returned to the New York tide. “I spent that night and the next lay with a detective going over he rogue's gallery down through he Bowery, but to no avail. Quite in experience!” Listeners Write Appreciation Of Organizations' Programs A veritable snowstorm of fan mail descended on station KORE yesterday, starting with a mild flurry of congratulatory messages in the morning delivery and as suming the proportions of a genu ine blizzard in the 1! o’clock de livery. The downpour was caused by radio fans of the vicinity who wrote in to express their opinions in the matter of picking the win ners of the Emerald-KORE con test finals broadcast Thursday evening. Many of the messages contained expressions of apprecia tion to the Emerald for originat ing and sponsoring the contest. * * * Mrs. F. B. C., who signs her self a KORE listener, expressed herself as follows: "I was undecided who should have ‘first’ until the Kappa Sigs mentioned ‘a bottle of beer’ as a school prize so here are my choices, after penalizing them: “1. Sigma Chi. “2. Kappa Sigma. “3. Independents. “The programs were always i well rendered and came over good in spite of small interference by other stations. Let’s have some more of ‘what-have-you’ programs from our U. of O. students.” * * * ‘ The final program last evening was splendid. I enjoyed every bit of it."—Mrs. E. C. Post. * * » ‘‘It seems to me that the Em erald-KORE contest has been tre mendously worth while—snd the program tonight presenting the finals in the elimination contest was especially interesting.”—Alice Spurgln. * * * ‘‘We have just finished listening to the elimination contests held at your station, and Vish to tell you how much we enjoyed them.” — Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Abel. * * *. “Our family has listened to the radio contest many evenings and enjoyed the programs given by the various houses.”—Lenna C. Ragan, Lee Ragan, Mrs. L. C. Cavanaugh. Pre-medical Club To Present Film For Vaccination Hal A. Webster To Lecture Before Students on March 11 Asklepiads To Have Show In Villard Hall To vaccinate or not to vaccin ate is no longer the question be lieve the members of Asklepiad, pre-medical honorary; they take, all question away from the sub ject in agreeing on the potency of such a step. To back this argu ment, a film will be shown March 11 at 7:30, in Villard hall, spon sored by the Asklepiads, and will show the manufacture, production and general nature of biologicals and the results obtained in cer tain diseases after the adminis tration of potent serums and vac cirjes. Hal A. Webster, professional service representative for the Squibb's company in Oregon, will explain complexities, answer ques tions, and speak about new prod ucts such as erysipelas anti-toxin and the scarlet fever group. Seven Colleges Send in Reports On Rifle Matches Oregon’s Hopes Rest in Lower Scores From Incoming Teams The latest report of last week’s intersectional rifle match, that of Davidson college, which made 3,653 points, as compared with Oregon’s 3,580, brings the total number of institutipns heard from this week up to seven. Unless the scores of the three schools yet to report are lower than those so far received from the schools matched against the local team last week, Oregon will be at the bottom of the list for that week. The respective scores so far re ceived this week are: Ten man teams: 7th U. S. infantry, 3,813; Oregon State college, 3,723; Dav idson college, 3,653; University of Washington, 3,652; University of California, 3,631; University of Wisconsin,. 3,597; and the Univer sity of Oregon, 3,580. Five man teams: University of Southern California, 1,849. The Mooing Finger Executive Council Boost . . . New Control for Editors . . -By OLIVER POLITICUS Change of the control of pay of editors and managers of publica tions from the student body through its vote on by-laws to the executive council has been recom mended by the regular publica tions, committee of the A. S. U. O. * * * This suggestion, if it is adopt ed by the committee to which it will be referred, and then by the whole constitutional revis ion committee, will not be such a reversal of form as first ap pearances would indicate. The change will be made a perma nent resolution, and will prob ably need a two-thirds vote of the council for amendment. * * * One change suggested by pub lications committee is that the Oregana minimum salaries be placed at $100 instead of $150, and that amounts above that be placed on a 20 per cent basis in stead of the previous arrangement of 50 per cent until the total for the editor and manager reached $300 for each. * * * Since the publications com mittee is composed of editors of the student publications, besides the president and vice-president of the associated students, two faculty members intimately con nected with publications, and a representative of the faculty at large, the unanimous vote ac corded the recommendations seems to dispel any fear of too great control of the publications by the-council. • * * Practically, the cry against the executive council is not against its members or its action, but against the problem in theory. Too many faculty members ARE on the council, and too FEW of the sti^lent members DO voice their opinions, IF the council does per form its duties with too little re spect for student opinion. * * * But the question resolves on that “if." The executive coun cil does its work well. Any ser ious attack directed against that body is really against the future possibility of a council not so able. And that attack is always embarrassed by usually well-performed actions of the council in office. Independents Hailed Second With Quartet Majestic Radio, Loving Cup And McDonald Contract Go to Leaders Kappa Sigma Nabs Third Place Among Scorers By STERLING GREEN Phi Sigma Kappa was declared winner of the Emerald-KORE ra dio contest by a unanimous vote of the judges, it was revealed yes terday by Fred Norton, contest director, after all returns had been turned In and tabulated.

Faville, of the Univer sity school of business administra tion; Dale Coolly, local enter tainer and musician; Leonard “Mike” Gross, well-known Eugene musician; and Arthur L. Schoeni, editor of the Emerald. scoring system Uiven These judges, who listened to the programs from different points in the city and reached their de cisions independently of one an other, sent their ratings in to the studio late Thursday night and Friday morning, where they were compiled by representatives of KORE and the Emerald. A simple point system of scor ing was employed in tabulating the results, whereby each of the five competing houses was cred ited with five points for every vote it received for first place, four points for every second-place rat ing it received, and three points for each third place vote. Thus the Phi Sigs, by receiving first place mention from all five of the judges, made a total score of 25 points. Under this system the following totals were reached: Phi Sigma Kappa—Five first place ratings: 25 points. Independents — Two second place ratings, two third-place rat ings, 14 points. Kappa Sigma — Two second pdace ratings, one third-place rat ing; 11 points. Kappa Alpha Theta—Two third place ratings; 6 points. Sigma Chi—One second-place rating; 4 points. The winning program was planned and directed by Lawrence i Wagner, and was entitled the ‘Pot pourri” idea. Several entertain ers well known in campus circles were featured, including the fam ous Phi Sig trio, composed of Vin ton Hall, Lawrence Wagner, and Jack Morrison. A seven-piece or chestra was a feature of the pro gram. Personnel of the band in cluded the three members of the trio, Marcus Woods, George Bar ron, Ed Graham and Kenton Ha macker.
