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.

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),

'Stick ’em Up’ Yell Brooklyn Bridge Thugs
****** * * * * *
Former Oregon Prof Named Brown Loses 35 Frog-skins
Out of the hundreds of thous
ands of people who cross New
York’s famous Brooklyn bridge
every day, it has fallen to the lot
of a former Oregon professor to
■ have something happen to him on
1 that bridge, that, as far as is
known, has never happened to any
' of the millions who have crossed
■ the Hudson via the bridge since it
1 ' was built in 1883.
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.

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

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.

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. Inde
pendents were awarded second
place and Kappa Sigma third.
Prizes will be officially presented
at the Fox McDonald theater dur
ing the first week of spring term,
Norton announced.
The Phi Sigma Kappa musicians
will receive a magnificent 9-tube
Majestic cabinet radio set donated
by McMorran and Washbume, a
20-inch silver trophy cup offered
by Paul D. Green, and a four-day
contract to present their act at
the McDonald theater. This con
tract carries with it a guarantee
of not less than $50. The formal
presentation of all prizes will take
I place on the opening night.
Lamps to Be Presented
As second and third prizes, a
bridge lamp and a radio lamp Will
be* awarded the Independents and
Kappa Sigs, respectively. Kappa
Alpha Theta, only women’s house
to reach the finals, will receive
the Buster Brown Shoe store
trophy cup, posted as the award
for the best program of all the
women’s organizations.
The five judges were Frank
Alexander, organist and musical
director at the McDonald; Dean
David E. 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.
