Ah! A Scapula It’s all well and good to have a contest to find the women with perfect back and legs, but won’t it be disappointing when no win ner is announced ? See editorial VOLUME XXX. 6 NUMBER 30 I IF OREGON CANT BEAT O.S.C. IT’S BECAUSE WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT OLD OREGON FIGHT MEANS r Spears Laying New Plans for Halfback Post Kitzmiller Not Expected To Be in Line-up Against Oregon State Schulz Returns to Position On Team; Will Replace Lillie at Guard With Kitzmiller’s leg still refus ing to respond to treatment, Doc Spears is formulating his cam paign for the O. S. C. game with out considering the possible recov ery of his backfield ace. In the light workout held last night Lon dahl, Choppie Park, and Wally Lawrence were all given oppor tunities at the vacant halfback post, but none of them has defi nitely been assigned the difficult role. No new plays were handed out by the coach but stress was laid upon those already in use. One ray of hope in the clouds of Oregon’s misfortune was the return of Irv Schulz to guard. He was unable to play in the Ucla game because of injuries and Jerry Lillie filled in for him. The rest of the line is slated to be exactly the same that completely smothered the tricky Forster and his mates—Fletcher and Bailey, ends; Morgan and Christensen, tackles; Forsta, center, and Col bert playing the other guard. Lil lie and Hall are certain to get into action and may even start. Jack Erdley is still a favorite to start at quarterback, although A1 Browne and Clyde Gilbert are providing plenty of competition. Red Rotenberg’s gallops around end against the Bruins has left him in possession of one halfback post, while Moeller has been shift ed back to full. Until Kitzmiller’s injury Laurence was listed as a line bucker, but now he may play opposite Rotenberg. Parke, one of the two other applicants for Kitz's job, was a member of the squad two years ago, but has only been turning out the last two weeks. Students Warned To Obtain Tickets For G ame E arly Yesterday evening only 300 stu dent tickets to the Oregon-Oregon State game had been sold, accord ing to an announcement from the University Co-op. All students are warned to come early as there will undoubtedly be a last minute rush. Students are also warned by “Doc” Robnett, assistant graduate manager, that student body tickets presented with gate tickets will be essential in gaining admittance to the game. There are still a very few side line, uncovered reserved seats left for $2. Today will be the last chance to get them. Nice Rock Wanted By Alamo Woman (tTOLEASE send me n niee rock,” said a fetter re ceived by the geology depart ment yesterday from a woman in Alamo, Georgia. “I am build ing a lily pool in a rock garden, and am trying to get a rock from every state in the union. I’ve got rocks from all but sev en states now, and they’ve all been awfully nice. I’m not ask ing for a very big rock.” The letter was originally ad dressed to the secretary of state at Salem but was forwarded here. A rock has already been picked out, a specimen from the Oregon eoast with several fos sil shells imbedded in it. Emerald of Air Will Broadcast From Corvallis Student Radio Talent To Aid in Pep Frolic Over KOAC Plans were completed last night whereby University of Oregon radio talent that appears on to night’s “Emerald of the Air” pro gram will make a hurried trip to Corvallis after the broadcast to help the Oregon Staters put on a radio pep frolic over station KOAC. The trip to the neighbor ing college is being made as one which will create a congenial feel ing between the two schools in preparation for the Webfoot Beaver football classic next Satur day. In addition to the radio talent that will go to Corvallis, a number of student officials are also plan ning to accompany the delegation and also to take part in the radio hour. George Cherry, president of the A. S. U. O. and a principal speaker on the KOAC program tonight, said last evening that an effort had been made for the last two or three years to bring the Uni versity of Oregon and Oregon State college into a more friendly state of mind, and that this get together radio program was the first of a series of projects that are being organized to establish more amicable relations between the two schools. The local radio talent will be given a half hour to do their bit on the KOAC broadcast. Maxine Glover, Sally Halloway, and Mar vin Jane Hawkins, popular girls’ trio, will make the journey to the Oregon State campus. Dale Brown and Wilbur Thibault, clever piano and violin pair, will also be in the caravan. Wally Palmer and Nor man Johnson, two gents who know their trumpets, will complete the cast of radio performers. These same people will be fea tured in the regular Thursday night Emarald-KORE hour. In addition to this array of talent, Art Potwin, director of the broad casts, announced last night that (Continued on Page Two) Cleanliness Not Necessary Says Health Service Doctor Cleanliness does not constitute a necessary part in health condi tions, according to Dr. F. N. Mil ler, director of the University health service. “Of course,” says Mr. Miller, "cleanliness appeals more strongly to the human tastes, and we are therefore more inclin ed to look ilpon the cleaner side of life as the more abundant in health. However, research has shown us that unhealthy conditions are not brought about by the accumula tion of dirt, but rather through channels, which, being more un noticeable, we are inclined to re gard with less disfavor.” Dr. Miller, who is in charge of the health examinations being carried on in all the houses on the campus, says that he does not in tend to condemn dirty kitchens. He is primarily interested in the methods of handling, storing, and serving the food. “I may stick a dirty hand into a bowl of soup,” says the health director, ‘‘and when that soup is boiled it will be just as free from germs as other food which has been preserved with the utmost care. Of course, people who knew of the experi ment wouldn’t relish the idea of consuming that particular soup, but nevertheless it would be abso lutely free from disease.” Dr. Miller does not sanction un clean conditions. He is only point ing out that such conditions do not rise to the importance to which popular conception has magnified them. ‘‘Cleanliness," says the health doctor, ‘‘is of the utmost importance to the moral side of life, but within the realms of health its effect is limited.” Twas a Great Week-End fcaUFORNIR l ^r~ NOW IF I CAN" FIND WHERE TH* TEAM IS ^ % ’tvjas a gre-at game 6LRD To\ BE WITH vour/ n r Lfc-nvi it v/bs ft GOOD MUD BfVTtt SORTS' TO HONOLULU 7 IT WAS A CINCH.

Frank of Meier and Frank, Portland, was presented last week with a lifetime member ship in the Alumni association by the Associated Students of the University of Oregon. “For the first time in the Uni versity’s more than 50 years of existence, the Associated students have taken it upon themselves to present a life membership in the Alumni association to honor you as an alumnus of the University of Oregon,” said George Cherry, pres ident of the Associated students, in a letter to Mr. Frank. “Only at ; such a time as this is one conscious of complete inability to express ap preciation in a measure even ap- i proaching the whole-hearted ser vices you have given.” Mr. Frank was presented with the membership in recognition of his services to the University. He personally organized and headed the group of Portland business men ; who took part in the “Challenge Day” program before the Oregon Washington game. They went to Seattle and challenged the business men there to attend the game. He will receive for the rest of his life the publication “Old Oregon" and all other alumni services. A sub-committee of the execu tive council was chosen to decide upon the means of expressmg the students’ appreciation lo Mr. Frank. Those on the committee were Jim Dezendorf, chairman, Bill Whitely, and Reba Brogdon. Funds From Dime Crawl Total Around SI45 Mark Proceeds from the first dime crawl of the year totalled approxi mately $145, according to an nouncement made late last night by Carolyn Haberlach, chairman of the A.

No intimation as to what the pro gram will be has been given to the press up to a late hour last night, but from the actions of the three initiates who have been scampering from one side of town to the other looking for top hats, and swallow tall coats, the affair seems to be taking on the aspect of a strictly formal affair. The performers will be: Thorn ton Gale, Victor Kaufman, and Ted Montgomery. Rifle Match Under Way This Week Silver Cup To Be Presented To Winning Team The intramural rifle match con ducted by the military department is under way this week after an extension of time from the original date set for the competition.

Rally Scheduled To Arouse Spirit For Coming Game Oregon Not Disheartened By Injuries to Star Halfback The old Oregon fight will show itself Friday night when rally minded student rooters parade through the campus in a demon stration of pep preparedness for the Oregon-O. S. C. game. • The big game rally will start on the hill at the Fiji corner before the Frosh-Rook game Friday night and the rooters will serpen tine around to the various houses, picking up additional rooters on the way. The pep parade is sched uled to end at the Sigma Chi cor ner where speeches will be given and noise makers will cut loose with their contribution to the rally. “Oregon students are not dis heartened at the loss from the Webfoot line-up of Johnny Kitz miller,” Brian Mimnaugh, rally committee chairman, said last night. "There is plenty of reserve fight in the team to show O. S. C. a real cattle Saturday, and we want the rally Friday night to prove that.” WAA To Sponsor Rides If Women Show Interest W. A. A. will sponsor a horse back ride every two weeks for one hour if enough women sign up on the bulletin board in Gerlinger hall by next Friday, according to Miss Margaret Duncan, coach of riding. Rides will probably be scheduled on Sunday mornings, and will be from the Bang’s stables. Part of the ride may be in the ring, and the rest on the road, according to Miss Duncan. Mind of Lowly Jellyfish Puzzles Ambitious Frosh Professor Schumacher, of the social science department, is 1 stumped. At least he is rather wor ried over a question asked him while he was conducting his fresh ;man social science class last Thurs day, Joan Cox, freshman, want ed to know if a jellyfish is self-assertive. Mr. Schumacher re fused to commit himself, so the question is still open for anyone to j answer who would like to help the young lady out. k.-1 Large Crowd Gives English Debaters Win Visitors Change Miiuls of Three More Persons Than Oregonians Methodist Church Packed To Hear Arguments Of Two Nations Four university students of the 20th century—two from time-mel lowed England and two from the yet youthful state of Oregon—put their wits to clash in debate here last night over the universal ques tion, whether the world has more to fear than to hope from the fur ther development of machines, and, by audience vote, the European team, on the pessimistic side of the question won. The English debaters were B. J. Crehan, University of Liverpool, and D. Hope Elletson, St. John's College, Oxford university, here as representatives of the National Union of Students of England which is furtherfhg international debate. Representing Oregon were Roger Pfaff, junior, Eugene, and Errol Sloan, senior, Coquille. The Englishmen maintained that the machine future is "drab, weary and soul-destroying,” while the Oregonians held that the machine future will bring a higher stand ard of living. Along with a sturdy lot of eco nomic and cultural argument there was an accompaniment of polish and wit that demonstrated that there exist four, at least, of the 20th century generation whose creative faculties have not been trodden down by the machine age. The audience reached its decision by a novel means of voting, gen erally approved by the listeners as a fairer and more intelligent ex pression. Ballots were taken be fore the debate and a check on the number affirmative and negative opinion of the audience was taken. Then, after the debate a check showed that 71 had changed their opinion in favor of the English or affirmative side while 68 had changed in favor of the Oregonian side, here were 215 affirmatives and 263 negatives in the vote be fore the debate and afterward 259 had not changed their opinion. Burt Brown Barker, vice-presi dent of the University of Oregon, v/as chariman for the evening. The audience, made up of more than 600 townspeople and students, was keenly attentive.

It will make possible the development of one of the plans which President Arnold Bennett Hall has had in mind since he first came to the Univer sity several years ago. In addi tion to the actual advancement that will be made possible by the funds, the stimulation of the fine arts program is expected to be worth many times the actual amount of the gift. The program for utilizing the funds will include research proj ects that are expected to lead to improvement of teaching, and in searching for methods by which art may be brought nearer to those whose lives may be en riched by such contact. Committee Named The committee in charge of the fund includes Dr. Huffaker, pro fessor of education; Ellis F. Law rence, dean of the school of archi tecture and allied arts; Dr. John J. Landsbury, dean of the school of music; Dr. Edmund S. Conklin, head of the department of psy chology; Dr. C. V. Boyer, head of the English department; Robert H.

Cressman, professor of sociology; Kenneth Shumaker and Leslie L. Lewis, department of English. “Art, such as music, literature and the fine arts, is one of the greatest influences in modern edu cation and in modern civilization. I have long felt it is the duty of the University to instill in every student a love for and an appre ciation of the finer things of life. To this end we have attempted to draw students into the school of music and the school of art, as well as into departments having to do with literature. Courses have been arranged especially for those who wished to gain an ap preciation, rather than the ability to participate creatively in any certain field,” said Dr. Hall, in a statement prepared in anticipation of the grant. Dr. Hall left last week for Hawaii for his health, before definite word of the gift (Continued on Page Three) Oregon’s Fruit Industry Has Bright Future, Says Burrell With the growth of the fruit and vegetable industry shown as faster in Oregon during the past 30 years than in the United States as a whole, and on a parity with the growth in California and Washington, a bright future for this industry is predicted for the state by O. K. Burrell, associate professor of business administra tion, in a recent booklet issued here entitled “An Industrial Audit of Oregon.” A very significant fact in the industry here is that 90 per cent ol the total production in Oregon is shipped out of the state, Mr. Burrell points out. With the mild, steady, humid climate here that is unusually adapted to growing of fruits and vegetables, and with the development and improvement of transportation facilities, the mar ket can be further expanded, it is believed. The industry now ranks second in the state on the basis of wage earners employed, and fifth on the basis of value added in manufac ture, the report states. The rapid development of the in dustry, not only in this state but elsewhere, is due to the enormous improvement in methods of pre serving food, to the development of automatic machinery, and to the broadening of the markets. The growth has also been greatly stimulated by the shifting of the food processing and preserving from the family kitchen to the fac tory. This shift has taken place partly because of greater purchas ing power of the people and partly (Continued on Page Two)
