Twin Daughters
Welcome ’O’ Dad
QREGON grad and track let
tcrnian 22 years ago is the
history of one Oregon Dad who
will be a guest on the campus
for Dad’s Day. He is Leslie P.
Miller, superintendent of schools
at Drain, Oregon, and graduate
of the University in 1908.
Mr. Miller will be the guest
of his twin daughters, Juanita
Miller an.l Willetta Miller Hart
ley, who are juniors on the Ore
gon campus. In answer to an
invitation to attend the Dad’s
Day activities on the campus,
Mr. Miller wrote: “Did I ever
miss a chance to see a good
game? Of course I will come,
for now I have two additional
attractions.”
Dr. Lufer Plans
Research Work
On Rare Fossils
Ex-graduate Returns To
Study Fossils Found
In Oregon
Dr. R. L. Lufer, a graduate of
this University in ’26, has return
ed to the geology department to
do research work on fossils taken
from an old bed which Dr. Earl
Fackard, geology professor, dis
covered in 1926 in central Oregon.
After graduation Lufer went to
the California Institution of Tech
nology in Pasadena where he re
ceived his doctor’s degree in pa
leontology. He was there three
years, and it was there that he
became interested in the great fos
sil bed in central Oregon. This
fossil bed is an old island which
protrudes up through the lava in
central Oregon. Millions of years
ago there was a series of seas and
upheavals that left one of the most
revealing fossil areas in this coun
try.
Dr. Lufer is working on the
Cephalopods, fossils that were
created during the Jurassic period
some 80 million years ago. He
hopes to relate these to similar de-.
posits in Great Britain and France
which took place about the same
time.
He is able to come here through
the Storrow Fellowship given him
by the National Research Council,
and also by a grant given him for
field work done in central Oregon
last summer. Dr. Lufer will stay
here until December, when he will
go to the University of Washing
ton at Seattle to work under Dr.
Charles E. Weaver, head of the
geology department there.
Robert F. Jackson Gives
Speech Before Seminar
Robert F. Jackson, graduate
student in the physics department,
was the speaker at the weekly
physics seminar Wednesday after
noon. His subject was on the ap
plication of new wave mechanics
to the measurement of the charge
and mass of electrons. Prof. A. E.
Caswell will be the speaker next
week.
Julius Meier Emphasizes
Importance of Education
By MERLIN BLAIS
Julius Meier does not impress
one as being a politician, as the
w ord is commonly understood. He
is too quiet, too unimpressive, at
least, for platform dynamics, to
make a good politician. But he
has the earmarks of a business
man, and that is, admittedly, his
realm. Meier is a business man
even in his conversation. His
words, his sentences, have the di
rectness and lack of adornment
which characterizes the man of
industry or commerce, but he has
acquired a vigilance over his ev
ery statement, which is so relig
iously followed, that he seems to
speak almost with reluctance.
The independent candidate for
governor received the Emerald re
porter at his fourth floor apart
ment at the Eugene hotel, but, ow
ing to a speaking engagement or
two immediately in the offing, the
interview was cut so short that
tlie minutes could be counted on
the fingers of both hands.
Meier graduated from the Uni
versity of Oregon in 1895, having
majored in law, and since that
time has been interested in the
welfare of the institution.
“When I graduated there were
about 40 who received diplomas.
During the last few years the num
ber of graduates has been meas
ured in terms of many hundreds.
That, I think, indicates the pro
gress the University has made.
Every succeeding year has seen a
graduating class composed of bet
ter and better young men and wo
men equipped with a more valua
ble and useful training. The Uni
versity shall continue to grow in
the future, and it will always have
all the help I shall be able to give,
for the welfare of the entire state
system of education is directly in
line with both the Joseph plat
form and with my personal be
liefs,” Mr. Meier said.
The Eugene visitor turned the
conversation to the campaign,
which will end at the polls a scant
12 days from today. He is in the
gubernatorial race heart and soul,
as evidenced by his constant ref

Junior Class
Will Sponsor
Campus Hop
Junior Jinx Is First of
Its Kind in History of
The University
Jack Edlefsen Appointed
By Pot win To Head
Committee
For the first time in history, the
junior class will “open up” in the
fall term. On November 14, im
Art Potwin
nediately follow
ing the frosh
rook game, an
all campus infor
mal dance, spon
sored by the class
of '32 will be held
in Me Arthur
court.
Art Potwin,
president of the
class, in announc
ing the plans for
the Junior Jinx,
said, “This year the class voted to
do something different and have
n fall term dance. The best time
will undoubtedly be after the night
football game between the O. S. C.
rooks and the Oregon frosh. It is
to be an informal dance for the
whole campus, with a charge of
only 50 cents for each man; wo
men will be considered free
guests.
First Junior Jinx
This is the first Junior Jinx and
it is the hope of the junior class
that this event shall be the start
of a precedent in the form of an
annual Jinx. The decorations for
the dance will be of a most novel
sort, according to Potwin, the main
theme being that of football.
Jack Edlefsen has been appoint
ed chairman of the Jinx commit
tee by Potwin and will announce
the members of his committees
the first of next week.
"Jack has always been one of
the best workers in our class and
certainly deserves the faith and
support of all its members in pre
paring this all-campus dance,”
Potwin declared. "He has headed
and served on many committees in
the past. Some of his activities
are: He was chairman of the soph
omore banquet committee, served
on the sophomore informal direc
torate, and was assistant chairman
for the Homecoming decorations
committee and materials commit
tee last year.”
AWS Plans Two
More ’Mum Sales
Women To Sell Flowers at
U.C.L.A., O.S.C. Games
Following their overwhelming
success at the Oregon-Washington
game in Portland last week-end,
the A. W. S. are launching plans
for two more chrysanthemum
sales, to be held for the Oregon
U. C. L. A. game at Homecoming,
and the following week-end for
the Oregon State game at Cor
vallis.
Chrysanthemums for the two
coming sales will be of two prices,
75 cents and $1. The 75-cent va
riety will be large and have a
green ribbon on them, whiie the
dollar group will have green “O’s"
in the center as well as the green
ribbons.
Delivery of chrysanthemums in
Eugene has been guaranteed by
the A. W. S. for both sales. ’Mums
of as fine quality as were sold
in Portland are promised.
The A. W. S. cleared about $60
on the Portland sale. The money
is being put in the infirmary fund.
Ann Baum and Alexis Lyle are in
charge of the sales.

All Male Talent
Feature of KORE
Radio Broadcast
Many Features Presented
By Campus Musicians
And Actors
A program, featuring talent con
sisting entirely of men, reached a
new high point for campus broad
casts Thursday night when the
fifth “Oregon Daily Emerald of
the Air” was presented over sta
tion KORE.
Barney Miller, new continuity
editor for the programs, took the
part of little Cynthia McMudmask
perfectly and told the radio audi
ence all about the trials and tribu
lations of a freshman girl during
rush week. The first installment
of the all-thriller bedtime story,
“Shredded,” was also given by Edi
tor Miller.
Also taking honors on the pro
gram were the arrangements of
“Confessing” and “Singing in the
Rain” by Dale Brown, piano, and
Wilbur Thibault, violin. Each of
these boys also did some splendid
solo work. “I’m Yours” and “It
Seems To Be Spring” were sung
by Bob Goodrich with Dale Brown
at the studio grand.
“That's Grandma,” given by
Johnny Smedburg, drew g big
hand among the numbers on the
program. Smedburg and Dave
Eyre gave a piano novelty in the
form of “Happy Feet.”
Between these special l^dio acts
the Midway Varsitarians did some
excellent orchestra work. Mem
bers of the Midway band are
George Nieme, business manager,
Geoge Barron, Leo Lohikoski, Joe
Haslinger, Byron Patterson, and
Morgan Johnson.
A program including a new ar
ray of campus talent, along with
the regular numbers by the Mid
way Varsitarians, is slated for
Sunday night’s broadcast, accord
ing to Art Potwin, director of the
Emerald hour, and his assistant,
Chet Knowlton.
California Dads
Oregon Boosters
Several Coming Today for
Week-end Aeiivilies
Oregon students have the spirit
which reaches beyond Oregon into
several states, and especially into
the sister state, California. The
Californians brag about their cli
mate and their scenery, but when
it comes to colleges many of them
send their children to Oregon.
An organization of Oregon Dads
was formed in California last year,
with Rufus Kimball of Palo Alto,
elected president of the group. He
is the father of Rufus Kimball Jr.,
sophomore in journalism, and will
be one of the enthusiastic dads to
attend the week-end celebrations
of the University campus, Satur
day and Sunday.
The Oregon Dads from Califor
nia formed the organization with
the purpose of discussing and
studying conditions in which their
sons and daughters live and study.
Several of the dads plan to be in
Eugene for Dad’s day.
Mr. Kimball, who is also a mem
ber of the executive council of all
Oregon Dads, will arrive in Eu
I gene Friday.

Men Outnumber Women
In Infirmary, Says Nurse
Infirmary statistics show that
men are more inclined to use the
infirmary service than are the
women, according to Helen Flem
ing, nurse in charge.
The situation is very definitely
perceptible, she says, as only
rarely do women outnumber the
men in the sick ward. She ac
counts for this by the fact that
women are more inclined to nurse
and care for each other than are
the men. At the present time
there are eight men and four
women confined to the infirmary.
They are:
Paulette Beall, Edith Geiser,
Margaret%Ormandy, Rose Smith,
Con Hammond, Virgil La Claire,
Wilbur Peterson, Carl Monroe,
Harold Johnson, Carl Stutsman, R.
W. Schofield, and Harry McCall.
Rally Dance
Slated Today
At Men’s Gym
Affair To Last From 1 tof>,
To Bo Free, All-campus,
No-«late Party
Weber’s Orchestra Will
Play; Students To Bring
Dads to Event
The men's gym will be the
mecca of football-minded students
from 4 to 6 o’clock this afternoon
when the first pre-game rally
dance of the school year will be
given under the direction of Brian
Mimnaugh, chairman of the rally
directorate, and his corps of stu
dent workers.
The rally dance will be an all
campus, informal, no-charge, no
date affair, according to the rally
directors, planned to arouse pep
for the Idaho game Saturday.
It was announced yesterday that
the dance would be held at Mc
Arthur court, but as the Igloo
floor could not be obtained, the
rally celebration was switched last
night to the men's gym.
Dads Invited
Students were urged last night
by Mimnaugh to bring their dads
to the dance and let them join jn
the rally spirit.
Music for the dance will be fur
nished by George Weber and his
four-piece orchestra.
Although the dance is being
held early and before the game
with the Vandals, membersfof the
rally committee felt yesterday
that the affair would prove a bet
ter feature than a post-game cele
bration.
It is the plan of the rally chiefs
to get Oregon rooters as keyed
up over the Vandal invasion as
they were over the Washington
game in Portland last Saturday.
Pep and lots of it will be gener
ated at the dance today to instill
enthusiasm into every rooter.
Speakers will visit all campus
living organizations this noon in
the interests of the rally dance.

Scotch Very Americanized
Is Report of Dr. E. P. Kremer
“One is struck by the great dif-1
ferences between the countries of
Europe while traveling through
them,” said Dr. Edmund P. Kre
mer, of the Germanic languages
department, who traveled in Eu
rope this summer.
"Scotland, for instance, is very
Americanized. There are filling
stations on nearly every corner of
the cities. There are a great many
automobiles, too. Of course, the
country and the mountains have a
natural beauty which cannot be
lost.
“England is quite different. The
people are not so hurried as those
in Scotland. The English gentle
man is too anxious to keep the
crease in his trousers just right,
to hurry like the Scotch and the
Americans do. The ladies, too,
seem to have their minds fixed on
shopping and clothes.
“I like the cleanliness of the
northern cities. The Swedish and
Norwegian people are very intelli
gent and courteous. I enjoyed my
self thoroughly while there.
"The Austrians are very like the
Americans. They are always ready
for a good time,” Dr. Kremer ob
served. “They are wide awake and
very hospitable.
“Conditions are very bad in Ger
many at the present time. The
pulse of the country seems to be
stopped. There is no money in
evidence and the unemployment
problem is very serious.
“The country, however, is very
beautiful. The land, which is di
vided into small strips amdng the
peasants, is planted with different
kinds of crops which make the
landscape very attractive. Instead
of the endless miles of wheat and
corn that one sees on the great
farms of the American Middle
West, one sees tiny gardens and
cottages where peasants work, in
picturesque costumes, at theii;
daily tasks.”
Doctor Kremer collected many
tine books while in Europe. Some
of these books are written in Ger
man and some in Swedish. Three
of this collection are especially
valuable. They are a set of en
cyclopedias of Germanic literature
and are bound in paper and leather
of modernistic design.
