Yesterday Maximum .... Minimum . Precipitation 62 45 .19 NUMBER 6 Rally Chiefs Plan To Make City Grid-Mad Demonstrations of Oregon Spirit Will Rouse All Portland ‘Every Rooter Wear a Lid,’ Is Plea of Chairman Brian Mimnaugli Rousing rallies that will impress Portland with Oregon’s spirit and make the city a football-minded one for years to come were planned by members of the rally director ate in a meeting with Brian Mim naugh, general chairman, at the Phi Delt house last night. “Every Oregon student a loyal rooter,” is the objective of the ral ly committee workers who plan to make Portland's population ► gridiron mad and keep it that way. Unrestrained noise and en thusiasm at the rallies will do much to focus the attention of the city on the Oregon-Washington game, Mimnaugh pointed out at' the meeting. Want Rooter’s Lids “Rooter’s lids will play an im portant part at the game,” Mim naugh said, "and I want every stu dent to get a lid now. Houses should cooperate with the rally committee in stressing this point. Rooter’s lids make an effective grandstand display and there is no reason why we should let the traditional wearing of lids at games vanish.” The first student rally in Port land has been set for Friday night at 8 o’clock in front of the Fox Broadway theatre. Yells, short, pep talks, band numbers and plen ty of noise from the assembled mob will hold forth on the Broad way and Salmon street corner for about 15 minutes, according to the committee’s plans, and the root ers will then serpentine down to Washington street and disband. First Rally Short “We are going to make this first rally a short, snappy one and we expect everyone to turn out for that reason,” Mimnaugh said. Radio rallies over several Port land stations will follow the stu dent pep outburst downtown. Band numbers and talks have been ar ranged over KGW, KEX, and KOIN so far and other stations will be secured if possible. An hour before game time Sat urday, rooters will gather at the Imperial hotel and then serpentine to Multnomah stadium behind trucks loaded with all sorts of noise-making devices. The co-eds’ singing section at the game will prove effective, it is thought by Marjorie Clark, di rector. Roster of the rally committee is as follows: Aaron M. Frank, of Portland, honorary chairman; Bri an Mimnaugh, general chairman; Harry Van Dine, assistant; Alber ta Rives, secretary; Slug Palmer, radio rallies; Mac Miller, features; Jim Gilbaugh, serpentine; Bill Knox, noise; Bob O'Melveny, traf fic; Bun Stadelman, Order of the O section; Dick Givens, lighting and music; Dorothy Jean Murphy, house speakers. With Marjorie Clark on the co-ed rally director ate are: Maxine Glover, Carolyn Haberlach, Velma Powell, Carol Werschkul, and Marguerite Tar bell. Allen,Turnbull Given Tomatoes JJEAN ALLEN and Professor Turnbull, of the school of journalism, are not going to lack in their daily vitamins if Daljit Singh Sadharia, graduate of the University school of journalism, can help it. Sadharia, an Indian who fin ished school here last fall and is now living in Corinne, Utah, sent each of the professors a large box of ripe tomatoes, which they received yesterday. A year ago, he sent them each a box of dried prunes and some grapes from California. Sadharia intends to do grad uate work in either the East ern states or England, it was learned today. He has contrib uted numerous articles to dif ferent papers and magazines on Oriental religion and philoso phy. Frosli Politicians All Set for Polls To Open Friday Voting To Start at 10 and Last Until 2 o’Clock In the Afternoon Since the withdrawal of one of the parties on Monday the political situation in the freshman class has followed the course customary with most political races—a set tling down to steady campaigning. With but one day left for political argument and pep meetings, there still remain three parties, all vieing for the votes of the frosh. The polls will open tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock in the main hall of Villard, where the voting will be done on printed ballots and dropped into supervised boxes. The vote will be closed at 2 o’clock, and the final results will immediately be checked up by committees ap pointed by the Associated students. No changes have been announc ed on the three tickets, and they remain as follows: John Kendall, Portland, presi dent; Irene Waltz, Portland, vice president; Joan Cox, Portland, secretary; and Jim Ferguson, Pen dleton, treasurer. Dick DePittard, McMinnville, president; Billie Eastman, Silver ton, vice-president; Louise Bar clay, Portland; and Bob De Graff, Portland, treasurer. Ray Clapp, Portland, president; Kenneth McKenzie, Tillamook, vice-president. The other two po sitions have no candidates in the third party. « W.A.A. Bulletin Issued First Time Since 1925 W. A. A. has issued their pep bulletin for the first time in sev eral years. The little booklet is composed of 20 white pages of pep talks, written by the student man agers of the various sports com prised in W. A. A. activities. It is bound in gray, with the W. A. A. slogan upon the front, “Play for Play’s Sake.” The pamphlet is obtainable at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow or at Gerlinger hail. All girls are urged to secure one, not only to foster their interest and increase their knowledge of W. A. A., but to ben efit their own campus life and ac tivity. Metschan Praises Women For Work Done in Politics “It is an inspiring thing to have ^ someone interested in politics and the promotion of a successful cam paign without an eye to public of fices and appointments,” said Phil Metschan, Republican candidate for governor, who wa? in Eugene for the day on his way to speak in several towns in the valley. “And this is what women are doing to day,” 0 he continued. “More and more women are becoming inter ested in their right of franchise, and are learning not only to vote intelligently themselves, but to in fluence others with their opinions. The franchise of women has brought political discussion to the home, and children benefit from the opinions of the family circle. “In the future I think that wo ' men will be a great influence in their work for child labor laws, workmen’s compensation laws, and things relating to public welfare,” Mr. Metschan declared. “It will be interesting to see the outcome of Mts. Ruth Hanna McCormick’s campaign as a Republican nominee for United States senate. “The fact that women influence men has been proved in their splen did work for prohibition,” he said. “Prohibition is becoming stronger every day. People of all classes are not drinking as they used to. When the novelty of giving parties with | liquor from father’s cellar for the j pleasure and unusual entertain ment of guests passes, the new j generations will grow into a habit J of prohibition.” Mr. Metschan observed that, (Continued on Page Three) Students Will Speak at Noon On Dads’ Day Committee for Advertising Named by Chairman Bob Miller 600 Set as Goal for This Year; Attention To Be Given Co-ed’s Fathers “Invite your Dad now" will be the message of campus speakers today noon when they will call on Bob Miller CVCI^ living : ganization to im press upon them the importance of inviting their Dads early for the biggest Dads’ Day ever to be held at the Uni versity on Octo ber 25. “Special atten tion is going to be given to get co-ed fathers down this year,” ' said Bob Miller, chairman of the "In past years it has been mostly fraternity dads that have regis tered. Over 350 dads attended last year, and this year we are setting our goal for 600.” The committee named by Bob Miller last night which will assist him in handling the entire campus advertising for the event are: Dor othy Jean Murphy, assistant chairman; Helen Chaney, secre tary; Winton Hunt, banners and campus decorations; Dick Goeble, downtown decorations; Lois Nel son, speakers; Fred Hellberg, fra ternity and sorority organizations; and Wallace Baker, who will formulate a special organization in the dormitories to insure a large representation of their fathers. Speakers Named The speakers and the houses they will address, as announced by Miller, are: Jack Stipe—Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, and Alpha Delta Pi. Slug Palmer — Kappa Alpha (Continued on Page Four) Uniformity Found In Oregon Births Article by Oregon Duo Is Result of Research “Considerable unifor m i t y is found in the average nuAiber of children per family among the pro fessional, business, farmer, skilled labor, and unskilled labor classes in Oregon,” Dr. R. R. Huestis of the University biology department, said yesterday. Dr. Huestis and Mrs. Aline Max well, graduate student of biology, have been gathering information on this subject for the past two years. They wrote an article in the Journal of Heredity called “Student Test-Score Rank and Family Size,” which told of their experiments and data gathered on this topic. The freshman men tal test and information gathered from professors on the University of Oregon campus were used in Dr. Huestis’ research. “The usual tendency of the la boring class to produce larger families has diminished,” Dr. Hues tis stated. "We found that fami lies of business and professional men averaged slightly lower, and the families of farmers and for esters somewhat above the aver age for the families in the whole group.” “Brighter children are found to come mostly from small families and the less intelligent from large ones. However, this difference is not so pronounced here in Oregon as it has been in former years.” Work Seekers Swamp Employment Secretary Empoyment this year on the campus is particularly bad, accord ing to Mrs. Donnelly, employment secretary. There are numerous men here who need work, but there are far more applicants than there are jobs. Anyone who hears of a job, from throwing in and stack ing wood to chloroforming a pet cat, is asked to get in touch with I Mrs. Donnelly as soon as possible. KORE Will Broadcast First Emerald Program Tonite! Art Potwin Again To Direct Tuesday and Sunday Presentations “Station KORE, The Oregon Daily Emerald of the Air’’ will again come over the ether at 8:15 o’clock tonight when the local campus newspaper begins its sec ond year of popular radio pro- j grams featuring University of Ore gon talent. Art Potwin, director of last year’s broadcasts, is in charge of arrangements for the program and announced Wednes day evening that the Emerald broadcast will be a regular KORE feature on Sunday from 6 to 7 o'clock and on Thursday nights from 8:15 to 9 o’clock. Potwin and his assistant, Chet Knolton, have prepared a schedule for the year’s entertainment that will bring many of the old nota bles as well as new talent before the microphone. Tonight’s pro gram will include such favorites as Maxine Glover, Sally Halloway, Marvin Jane Hawkins, “Sing” Har per, Adele Wedemeyer, and Louise Marvin. Carolyn Haberlach, who did splendid work at the studio V last year, will be back on the staff for the initial program. Intermin gled with musical numbers will be interesting campus newsbits, red hot from the editorial offices of the Emerald, and peppy inter views with those in the University limelight. Numerous feature skits are be ing prepared for the broadcasts, including a clever continuity scheme for the Sunday programs that will make trips, via the “mike”, to the living organizations and spots of interest in the Web foot territory. Said Potwin in regard to the Emerald radio service: "All cam pus performers and would-be per formers are invited to take part in these programs. Although the pay is poor, the experience is ex cellent, and some of this talent may find a big-time job through their noble efforts on KORE. Who knows ?” These hours of entertainment were inaugurated by the Emerald last spring as a means of discov ering varsity talent and they proved extremely popular both on the campus and in the city of Eu gene. Public Speaking Club Nominates Seven for Office Blais Appoints Committee On Intramural Debate Investigation Nomination of officers was held by the Congress club, campus pub lic speaking organization, at the first meeting of the year, held last night.

Leroy Goff, sophomore, was unanimously elected treasurer, and the vice presidential position will be filled by the defeated candidate in the election of president. The club went on record as fa voring the barring of varsity de bate and oratory squad members from participation in the Jewett extempore contest. Two committees were appointed by Merlin Blais, president. A con stitutional committee will be pre sided over by Emery E. Hyde, with Roger Pfaff and Lewis High as as sociate members; and a commit tee to investigate the possibility of intramural debate will be com prised of Wallace Campbell, chair man; Robert Gamer, and Emery Hyde. Professor Likes Research in East E. D. McAlister on Staff At Smithsonian Professor E. D.

(Mail to Circulation Manager, Oregon ^aily Emerald, Eugene, Oregonj Health Service Notes Decline In Campus Ills F,i"ht Students Confined In Infirmary at the Present Time Statisties Show Deerease Of 96 in Number Of Cases If figures don't lie, sickness is on a decrease at the University of Oregon. Records at the infirmary show that 381 patients were con fined to that building during the last school year- 1929-30. Figures for the preceding year show that the infirmary handled 477 cases during the year 1928-29. Thus there has been a decrease of 96 cases, serious enough to cause con finement at the infirmary, during the past year. This fact is quite a tribute to the men and women who are handling Oregon's health service. So far this term, 30 cases have been taken care of at the infirm ary. There has been no serious illness, however, as most of the patients are suffering from colds. At the present time there are eight students confined to the in firmary. These students are Mary Linn Saeltzer, Marguerite Phelps, Zelda Finley, Marion Merrill, Rob ert Patterson, Henry Levoff, Percy Bergerson, and Charles Stryker. Health service at the infirmary and at the dispensary is free to all registered students at the Uni versity of Oregon. If the illness is serious, a student will be taken care of at the infirmary. Other wise he will be treated at the dis pensary. The number of cases that can be handled at one time in the infirmary, however, is lim ited to 13. Soph Managers To Have Signup This Afternoon All Candidates for Jobs Requested To Meet At Igloo According to Hack Miller, senior manager of sports, all sophomores requesting positions as managers on any of the managerial staffs are requested to be at a meeting to be held this afternoon at 4 in the classroom on the second floor of McArthur court. Any sophomore who Is inter ested may attend and sign up, as no previous experience is required. The managerial staff work offers an opportunity for a! man who is interested in athletics and yet is not an athlete, to work in contact with the teams and to gain valu able experience. Miller has also announced a plan for awarding junior man agers who are selected out of the sophomore group at the close of the season of the sport they are working with. Senior managers of all sports are requested to attend this meet ing as well as candidates for the sophomore positions, according to Miller. Scholarship Exam To Come Monday Rebec Urges Many To Try For Rhodes Award “I would advise all students eli gible for the Rhodes scholarship to take the examination next Mon day night whether they feel pre pared for it or not. The exper ience is excellent preparation for the time when they will actually expect to win the scholarship, and gives them an idea of the nature of the examinations,” said Dean George Rebec. Students from the University of Oregon who have won the Rhodes scholarship in the past include: Lu ton Ackerson, '16; Kerby Miller, '20, now a professor at the Uni versity of Missouri and secretary of Rhodes scholarship for the state of Missouri; Arthur Rosenborough, '24; Clinton Howard, '25; Alphonse Korn, '27; and Theodore Ruch, '27. U. of W. Tickets At Co-op Today Students Must Sign Otrn Pasteboards Student tickets^ for the Oregon Washington football game, to be played a week from Saturday at Portland, will be placed on sale this morning at the Co-op, Ronald Robnett, assistant, graduate man ager announced. Each student must call in person for his ticket, present his student body ticket, and one dollar, and sign the ticket he receives. This system, although it seems more complicated than that previously ii: use, will vindicate itself by act ing as an additional safeguard for the student section of the stands, Mr. Robnett said. A small number of grand stand seats are still obtainable for those desiring tickets for relatives or friends. Music Building Is Greatly Improved; Lounge Renovated Ensemble Practice Room Is Among Facilities Added A remodeled and refurnished lounge and a new and acoustically perfect practice room for instru mental ensembles are improve ments which have been made in the school of music building dur ing the summer. The work on the lounge, which opens off the music auditorium, was made possible through a gift of several hundred dollars to the school, the source of which Dean John J. Landsbury said he did not care to reveal at present. The outdoor porch, which opened off the west end of the lounge, has been enclosed as a sun-room and writing-room, and connected to the main lounge through an at tractive arcade executed in the Spanish style. The ensemble practice room has been put in at a cost of $2000. A partition was torn out between | two smaller rooms on the south! wing of the second floor to give sufficient space. Three thick lay ers of felt were placed over the sound-proofing on walls and ceil ing which is standard in all the building partitions before they were repapered attractively. The sounu-ieilecting surfaces of the windows have been success fully eliminated in this room by installing heavy silk drapes lined with similar felt. Two upright pianos complete the new equip ment. The addition of this room to the facilities of the building has led to plans for a greater number of instrumental ensembles from stu dents and faculty of the schbol than ever before, according to Dean Landsbury. Already the de mands for practice time in the room are so numerous thrg; it has become necessary to work out a schedule for every day in the week. Visit to Eastern Cities Planned by Dr. Parsons Dr. Philip A. Parson, dean of the school of applied social science, will leave for the East the last of this week. His trip will take him to Chicago, Washington, Philadel phia, Dover, Delaware, and New York City. Dr. Parsons plans to return to Eugene the last of this month. i 62 Band Men To Leave For Seattle Today Web foot Musicians All Set To Invaile Lair of Husky Paek Challenge Parade Will Be Staged on Washington Campus Friday Sixty-two members of the Uni versity band of 80 pieces will leave Robnctt j^ugene mis ai ternoon for a two day trip to Seat tle and Portland, the object o f which will be to increase interest in the Oregon v Washington foot •i ball game in Portland October 118.

Opportunity for College Men In Civic Bands9 Says Stehn “The aim of every good military bandsman in the country is a place on the United States Marine band,’’ John Stehn, University band di rector, stated yesterday. College students musically inclined may find as equally high a goal in the marine organization which plays here Tuesday as in the Portland symphony and other orchestras. “Two-thirds of the players in the University band will settle in cities which have an interest in and which support civic bands and orchestras,” Stehn said. Even when students do not expect to devote their entire time to their playing, they find that their abil ity stands them in good stead in smaller cities. "In the East and Middle West most of the communi ties of any size have such organi zations, and the movement is rap idly spreading to the Pacific coast. “Leaders in such work find that their ability and the contacts they make count much toward econom ic success,'* he declared. “Such contacts give bandsmen a “drag” which they find well worth while.” Stehn believe sthat musicians al ways profit by hearing good play ing, and he rates the United States Marine band at the top of the list. He has requested that members I of the University band attend either the matinee or evening con cert given Tuesday. The band will be presented at McArthur court.
