Quenching a Fire
In the hurry to kill harmful tra
ditions, it is possible to injure good
ones. The Homecoming bonfire is
not of the same class as the Frosh
Parade or paddling on the library
steps. Save the bonfire.

Historical Society Names
Clark on Directing Board
Dr. R. C. Clark, head of the his
tory department, was elected at
the annual meeting of the Oregon
Historical society held in Portland
Saturday, as a member of the
board of directors for 'a four year
term.
The society holds its annual
meeting every October. The pur

25 Years a Tailor, He Enters
The University As a Senior
After plying the tailor's trade
for 25 years, Joseph Goldsmith has
entered the University this fall as
a senior, his expressed purpose be
ing to become a teacher of lan
guages.
"I have always had a desire to
gather more knowledge to ‘refur
bish my mind’,” explained Mr.
Goldsmith, “but I have never been
able to realize my ambition until
this year. I will probably do two
or three years of post graduate
work here before I start teaching."
The former tailor is studying
advanced Greek, Latin, history 'of
philosophy, and 19th century Eng
lish literature in his course here.
His education, gained in Czecho
slovakia, ended with six years at
the Jesuit college in Pisek. Com
pletion of eight years at this col
lege is equivalent to graduation
from an American university.
Studying at the Jesuit college
25 or 30 years ago is considerably
different from work at the Uni
versity of Oregon, Mr. Goldsmith
has found. “At the Jesuit college
there is so much restriction. We
students could not smoke, nor
could we be seen with a girl.
There were no dances. We were
supervised in everything we did,
in our leisure as well as our work.
We could not choose our course
as freely as is done here. Our
studies were nearly all classical.”
Being forced by circumstances
to leave school before he finished,
Mr. Goldsmith became a tailor.
He studied for a while in France at
e “universite populaire,” similar to
extension work here, which was
connected with the University of
Nancy. The famous Coue was at
that time a professor in the uni
versity, and a number of times ad
dressed classes attended by Mr.
Goldsmith.
A daughter of whom he is very
proud will enter the University as
a freshman next year. Like her
father, she is interested in lan
guages. Already she is so profic
ient in Spanish that she frequent
ly substitutes for a regular high
school teacher.

AWS Constitution
To Be Made Over
Document Is Out of Date,
Says Committee
Following the decision by the ex
ecutive council to revise the con
stitution, the special Associated
Women Students committee has
started active work on bringing
the document up to date, but mem
bers of the committee do not ex
pect to have the work completed
until winter term.
The present constitution is sev
eral years out of date, and appar
ently was written early in the life
of the organization. A great many
of its parts are not applicable to
campus situations now, and other
portions are impossible, inefficient,
or unnecessary to carry out. The
organization has grown so much
since the document was first writ
ten that many of its present func
tions have no place in the consti
tution at all.
Bess Templeton is chairman of
*he committee, appointed by the
A. W. S. president, Margaret Cum
mings. Alexis Lyle and Betty Anne
Macduff are her assistants. The
committee met for the first time
last week, and will meet every
two weeks until the work is fin
ished.
Coggeshall To Address
French Club on Thursday
The first meeting of the French
club for this year has been an
nounced by Barbara Barker, presi
dent of the club, to be held next
Thursday evening at 7:30 at the
Kappa Alpha Theta house.
Reginald Coggeshall, professor
of journalism, will be the speaker
of the evening. He will talk on
different phases of French life.
After the talk there will be a so
cial hour during which all those
present will converse in French.
All the new students on the
campus are invited, as well as any
others interested in French.

Plans Completed
For AWS-Kwama
Tea From 3 to 5
Affair Honors Deans; Mrs.
Gerlinger, Mrs. Hall
In Receiving Line
All plans are complete for the
big Associated Women Students
Kwama tea this afternoon at
Alumni hall, when Mrs. Hazel
Prutsman Schwering, dean of
women, and Mrs. Alice B. Macduff,
assistant dean, will be honored.
Hours are from 3 until 5 o’clock.
Virginia Grone, general chairman,
said Tuesday evening that her
committee has made arrange
ments for what it expects to be
one of the most successful teas
ever given on the campus.
Although the hostesses and hon
ored guests will be dressed for
mally, Miss Gone explained that:
all women on the campus are in
vited to the affair and that after
noon clothes will be in order. “We
don’t want anyone to stay away
because she doesn't have time to
‘dress up’ for the occasion,” Miss
Grone declared. "Girls can dress
before their classes if they haven’t
time to do so between classes and
the tea.”
The tea is for all women on the
campus, it was emphasized again
Tuesday by those sponsoring it.
Although it is customary for most
houses to require their freshmen
to attend such functions, it is the
hope of the A. W. S. and Kwama
that sophomores and upperclass
women will make a special effort
to come to the affair also. The
tea is one of the few functions of
the year when the dean and as
sistant dean of women, as well as
members of the A. W. S. council,
may be met socially.
In addition to Mrs. Schwering
and Mrs. Macduff, others in the
receiving line will include Mrs.
George T. Gerlinger, Mrs. Arnold
Bennett Hall, Margaret Cum
mings, and Bess Templeton. Vir

fGet-Together’ Spirit Urged
For Best Assembly Results
Class Room Atmosphere
Claimed as Drawback
By Fraundorf
“If assemblies were organized
to provide entertainment and op
portunities for students to get to
gether and have a good time, they
would be much more successful
than they have ever been in the
past,” said Hal Fraundorf, senior
in business administration, when
questioned as to how assemblies
might best be managed.
“Not only should the programs
provide amusement for the stu
dents, but the students should put
them on,” he continued. The “Ore
gon Daily Emerald of the Air” pro
grams over radio station KORE
have served to show that there is
a great amount of good student
talent in the University. The var
ious campus organizations could
arrange assembly programs and
present them at the time desig
nated by a committee placed in
charge.
“I believe that such excellent
student programs could be work
ed up that an assembly a week
would not be any too often, but
would suggest that at first there
should be one every two weeks.
In the past the assembly speakers
have too frequently tried to add to
the classroom education of the stu
dent along the lines of political or
social science, and have, accord
ingly, failed to catch the interest
of an audience looking for diver
sion.”
Fraundorf suggested further
that the band and the numerous
campus orchestras could work well
with the assembly programs. "If
student talent is enlisted to pro
vide assembly entertainment there
would be no occasion to demand
thd attendance of anyone at as
semblies for everyone would want
to be there.
Ed's Co-ed Makes
Return Showing
uJ^n’S CO-ED,” the Unlver
J sity of Oregon campus
movie, made on the campus by
students and student directors,
will be shown as a “revival"
feature on Thursday and Friday
nights of this week, it is an
nounced by James Raley, one of
the few remaining students who
can hark back to the spring of
1929 when the production was
made here.
Starring in the picture are
Dorothy Burke, Verne Elliot,
James Lyons, Norman Eastman,
Phyllis Van Klmmeli, and a
number of other students promi
nent on the campus. It has a
real story, in which real campus
life, minus the “rah rah” ele
ment is portrayed.
The film, which is in seven
reels, will be presented between
shows at the Colonial, where it
will run in combination with
“The Golden Calf” in which the
famous El Brendel is starred.
More Professors Found
With Children at Oregon
In the list of professors on the
campus with sons or daughters at
tending the University, the names
of Professors A. E. Caswell, P. A.
Parsons and Charles E. Carpenter
were omitted. John Caswell, Cor
rine Carpenter, and Kathrine Par
sons are students of the Univer
sity, so these three professors are
among those who are Oregon
Dads.

Religious Sense
Stressed by Hall
Series of Three Lectures
To Freshmen Concluded
Giving his key to the develop
ment of spiritual values, President
Arnold Bennett Hall concluded his
series of three lectures to the
treshman class in the Music audi
torium yesterday. The series dealt
with the general subject of college
success, ihe first stressing industry
and the second the use of intelli
gence.
“There are three steps toward
the development of personality:
Learn to love good music, litera
ture, and art; learn to love human
nature; and develop a religious
sense. If you set these down on
your blue prints of life, you will
develop a personality that enriches
with time and deepens with age,"
Dr. Hall said.
Hugh L. Biggs, dean of men, in
troduced Dr. Hall, and John Stark
Evans, of the music department,
played a number of selections on
the organ. ‘
Only Two Men in
Infimary Care
Women in Majority First
Time This Term
Yesterday for the first time this
term there were more women than
men confined at the infirmary.
This is quite unusual as the num
ber of men generally exceeds that
of women, and, according to in
firmary officials, this tendency
has been so marked in the past as
to be almost an Oregon tradition.
There were eight patients at the
infirmary Tuesday, and only two
ot these were men. The following
students are now confined to the
care of the health service: Flor
ence White, Johnny Young, Mar
garet Frye, Jean Beardsley, Vivian
Vinson, Virgil LaClaire, and Bruce
Wilson.
All beds for women are now
filled, and one University girl was
yesterday refused admittance to
the infirmary on that account.
Robnett Imparts
Fate of Uniforms
£JUE to the nmny Inquiries
■mule in Portland at the
Oregon-Washington game con
cerning the whereabouts of the
green and yellow uniforms for
merly worn by the hand, an in
vestigation was made which re
sulted in the information that
they were in the custody of Ron
ald H. Robnett, assistant gradu
ate manager, at the A. S. U. O.
office.
“As you know,” said “Doc”
Robnett, when questioned as to
the fate of the outfits, “the hand
is greatly increased this year,
and consequently there were not
enough of the old uniforms to
go around. Also the hoots which
were necessary proved to be im
tmctlcal.”
“Entirely new uniforms are
contemplated for the band as
soon as the University is able
to make the expenditure,” con
tinued “Doc.” “In the mean
time the R. O. T. C. headquar
ters has been kind enough to
lend us the military outfits that
the boys are wearing at pres
ent.”
Freeman Young
Is Selected for
Soph Treasurer
Class Will Use ‘Big Top’
Idea for Informal
Decorations
Freeman Young of Portland was
elected treasurer of the sophomore
class by a unanimous vote at the
meeting of the class held last night
at Villard assembly. He is filling
the office left vacant by “Spec”
Stevenson who did not return to
school this year.
Ted Jensen, general chairman of
the Sophomore Informal, told the
class the idea to be used for decor
ations will be that of a big circus
tent. He then introduced the chair
man of the various informal com
mittees.
The business manager is Ken
neth McKean; secretary, Louise
Ansley; construction chairman,
Carson Mathews; decoration chair
man, Julia Creech; patrons and pa
tronesses, Lucile Krause; refresh
ments, Ned Kinney; music and
features, Dorothy Curtis and Bob
Goodrich; vigilance committee,
Kenton Lawson; clean-up com
mittee, Dave Watson. Jim Travis,
sophomore president, urged the
class to cooperate with the com
mittees, and announced that work
on decorations would start on
Thursday morning. Any time af
ter that time the class members
are asked to go to the Igloo and
help. McElroy’s Serenaders will
provide the music for the dance.
“Due to the fact that the idea
of the dance is supposed to be an
under the “Big Top” circus idea,
and due to the fact that it’s called
an informal, formal dress will not
be in favor for either men or wo
men, and also because it is an un
derclass dance we urged that you
come informally dressed,” Travis
raid.
Hoover Calls
Oregon Men
For Meeting
Dr. Hall, Seashore, anti
Bovartl To Go To
Washington
Child Health, Protection
Subject of November
Conference
Invitations to participate active
ly in the White House conference
on Child Health and Protection,
called by President Hoover for
November 19 to 22 in Washington,
have been received by Dr. Arnold
Bennett Hall, president of the Uni
versity of Oregon, Dr. John F. Bo
vard, dean of the school of physical
education, and Dr. Robert H. Sea
shore, associate professor of psy
chology. The session will bring
together leading authorities on
child health from every section of
the United States, and is regarded
as one of the most important con
ferences called by President Hoo
ver since he took office.
Wilbur Is Head
The organization sponsoring the
conference is headed by Ray Ly
man Wilbur, secretary of the In
terior and president of Stanford
university. Included on the execu
tive committee are Grace Abbot,
H. E. Barnard, C. C. Carstens,
Hugh S. Cumming, and other out
standing men and women of the
country, all of whom have entered
enthusiastically into the work, ac
cording to word received
"We already have enough knowl
edge which, if brought together,
compared and sorted, would give
us some approach to the normal
child,” President Hoover says in
the conference directory which has
been sent to all delegates. "The
crux of the problem is as quickly
as possible to bring what knowl
edge we have into the open, broad
cast it, and make it familiar to
the average busy, but deeply con
cerned parent.”
Organization Is Divided
The national organization is
sub-divided into branches, which
include medical service, growth
and development, public health
service and administration, public
health organization, education and
training, the family and parent
education, the handicapped, the
latter of which includes physical,
mental, and delinquent.
Each department is headed by a
competent authority, who has se
lected a number of experts to as
sist in gathering data in the par
ticular field. This will all be
brought together and made avail
able to the public.
Others on the national organi
zation from Oregon include Dr.
Henry N. Cisco, of Chemawa; Nor
man Coleman, Louise Cottrell and
Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, of Port
land.
One of the new courses on the
curriculum of the University of
California is one on investments.
The students will learn how to in
vest money in the stock market
without taking too big a loss.
Passing of Oregon Tradition
Subject of Lament in Letter
Will this be a picture of the
University of Oregon in 1935?
A very recent Old Grad, after
reading about the proposed fate of
the frosh bonfire thought about it
so much that he boiled over the
Safety Valve 200-word limit and
made a feature story of it His
letter follows:
It is Homecoming. Hordes of
alumni, back to see the Oregon
(including stars from 12 other
states) football team in its annual
clash with Oregon State, bring
pictures of past Homecomings. The
bonfires on Kincaid field and later
on Skinner's butte . . . the rally
dances . . . the reunions ... all
loom big in their minds as they re
call the hubbub and excitement
they experienced in their college
days.
But the campus seems to lack
something on the Friday night be
fore the game. Is it the bonfire?
Yes, where are they holding the
big frosh bonfire this year? No
one seems to be working on it.
The freshmen are all sitting on
fraternity davenports, discussing
the dance prospects.
So he asks someone. “Sure,
there’s a bonfire. The University
let a contract to Hoboe & Bumm,
local wood yard proprietors, to
build one. It’s out. behind the Uni
versity depot so that the sparks
won’t set any buildings on fire. In
order to save money they are only
building one about 10 feet across
and are hiring it done so that the
freshmen will have more time to
sit on their fraternity davenports.”
The alumnus thanks the student
and moves on. So this is the uni
versity where he slaved to build a
“biggest bonfire ever,” where he
endured the sophomore gauntlets
the second week of school, where
be did so many colorful things and
lived college every day he was
there. He sighs. Maybe they don’t
want that sort of love for Oregon
any more . . . the “spiritual”
things (whatever those are) and
the “uplifting” new traditions
