Everyone on the campus and, for that matter, all over the state, Knows who we are talking about, but few of the persons who have been talking about the showing made by William ’’Choppie” Parke in the crucial game against Oregon State Saturday know much about the man who carried the brunt of the Oregon attack. Parke's chance came as a result of circumstances which resemble those in many of the so-called "thrilling football novels.” In the short space of one week he came up from the hard-working, unsung third team to win a berth on the first team. When he received the chance that every Oregon football player longs for to start the annual game against Oregon State Choppie showed the stuff his stocky 150-pound frame is made of and he CAME THROUGH IN THE PINCH. Doc Spears moved Choppie up to the first team because he still had lots of pep after tagging along on the third team all year. When it was ascertained that Captain Johnny Kitzmiller could not play, Spears started rebuilding his backfield, hut even then Parke was not considered capable of holding down a first-string berth until Spears sent him into the regular lineup in one of last week’s practice sessions. Choppie made the most of the chance and sports followers around the state began to inquire as to ‘‘who this follow Parke is.” Anyone who witnessed that great game played in I he mud of what was once Bell field in Corvallis Saturday will have a world of praise for the showing made by the Oregon team. Rated as the under dogs because of an injury to their leader, the Webfoots put up a fine battle against the Beavers and it whs the breaks of the game that counted. We are not thinking of an alibi the Oregon State team was superior Saturday and the Staters were a hard fighting, well-coached eleven, with nothing to lose and everything to gain. They made the most of their opportunities and they played their gest game of the year. Doc Spears used nil of the strategy and tactics he lias obtained in his long coaching career but it was Oregon State’s day to win and it was a fine victory for the Orange and Black team. Oregon put up a fine game under the conditions and it was no disgrace to the Webfoots to lose to the Beavers Saturday. Every man on the Oregon team, like Parke, was giving his best. Players like George Christensen, Austin Colbert, Jerry Lillie, and Marion Hall, wiio were facing the Orangemen for the last time in their college football careers, turned in fine exhibitions, but every man on the team will forget his own part in the game to praise the play ing of Parke. He was fighting as hard as any Oregon player to win the game, he didn't make one mistake, he was the fire of the Oregon attack, he received a near record-breaking number of punts in one football game in the driving rain and with the ball tys slippery as mud and rain can make it. He was Hit hard, many times he was smothered under an avalanche of Oregon State players but he always came up with determination on his face. He was playing like a veteran giving his best to Oregon in his first game and under the most nerve-racking conditions. May Students Ask ? JUST who may criticize student activities? May the students them selves? After the Daily Californian, student paper of the institution which so recently set a now conference record by losing to U. S. C. by 74-0 in a football game, asked twelve questions implying' that its football organization might well bo investigated that question was debated up and down the Pacific coast. May "students criticize student in terests? Forgetting that the easiest method of putting the Californian to shame would be to answer the questions in negation of the Cali fornian's implications, sporting editors in sister schools and in metro politan sheets denied the right of the paper even to ask them. Oregon is surely more than satisfied with this year's record under its new coach, Clarence Spears, but as a school it might also be inter ested in the denial of its right to say anything about that record. As surely as a school has not the right to concern itself in defeats, no school has the right to concern itself in victory. Oregon, then, could no more praise its coach thai California could censure hers. Oregon, too, could no more appreciate President Hall's national position among educators without violation of these sports-editors' bounds than could the Stanford Daily ask how long it is to be without its President Wilbur without being laughed at by President Hoover. If Coach Price and Coach Spears, President Wilbur and President Hall can stand upon their records, their only duty is to answer student questions. But Oregon need ask no questions. Campi of the Coast The University of Washington Daily hurls a missile al the women by quoting anil upholding a remark printed in the Atlantic Monthly regarding the futility of the fair sex in their try for a career. Be lieving that their aim be merely a compromise the point brought out is that from commencement on is an anticipation of the wedding day. The Stanford rally committee has been accused of pushing a Couple of students down the aisle. Well, it looks like other schools are having the same trouble in creating action and interest during football games. * * * At U. C. L. A. interest in one of their pet traditions is waning. No longer, says the California Daily Bruin, do students support the custom and sing heartily in classes. A sorry predicament to be sure, but might we suggest smoking in classes as a substitute?

Library Obtains Five-Volume Set Books Tell of ‘Interstate Commerce Act’ Five volumes on the "Interstate Commerce Act, Annotated," com piled by the Interstate Commerce commission under the direction of Commissioner Clyde B. Aitchison, were recently received by the Uni versity library, according to Don ald Erb, of the political science department. The set is a monumental refer ence work containing a minute ex amination of the acts controlling interstate commerce in the United States. Mr. Aitchison, who holds an honorary master’s degree re ceived at the University of Ore gon in 1917, and who is an honor ary member of Phi Beta Kappa, scholastic honorary, worked on this compilation for three years. It is the most complete reference existing on the subject, and it is now catalogued in the library for use of students of economics and faculty members. Mr. Erb has a duplicate set of these volumes in his office, sent to him at his personal request. 17TH CENTURY BOOKS DISPLAYED AT CO-OP <Continued from Page One) Robertson’s ‘History of America' (17771, published during the Revo lution, to which the author refers as the ‘civil war.’ ” Besides books, Mr. McClain brought back numerous photo graphic reproductions of famous paintings as well as etchings and prints by Belgian, French, Ger man, Czech, English, and Italian artists.

The editor maintains the right to withhold pub- 1 lication should he see fit. •FLIES AND RESTAURANTS To the Editor: At all the restaurants about the j campus and most of those down town flies crawl incessantly over the food on the table, and they must be worse in the kitchen. I fight off from one to six every time I eat. This filth is as dan gerous as it is disgusting. If the managers cannot do better, they might hang swatters on nails within convenient reach of the patrons. X. To the Editor: An editorial in the Journal of November 5, 1930, states that Ore gon produces and sells 7,000,000 boxes of apples yearly. Yakima valley produces and sells 6,400,000 boxes, and Wenatchee valley 7, 600,000 boxes. The average price the Washington orchardists re ceive is $1.25 to $1.40 a box. The j Oregon average is about $1. The advantage >n favor of Washington, the Journal declares, is due to advertising. Taking these figures to be cor rect, Oregon is losing about $1,750,000 per year because she does not advertise. Is this be cause her apple growers do not have the money? If this is true, can they not borrow money from our banks at a reasonable rate of interest? It has been proved that there would be a substantial re turn. The risk would not be so great. Suppose, for example, that $1,000,000 was borrowed for ad vertising purposes. Counting out $60,000 for a 6 per cent interest on the money borrowed, Oregon ians would still have a profit of $690,000 over and above what they are making today. I do not wish to knock but I would like to become informed | through your columns why such a condition exists, if it really does. If Washington can afford to ad vertise and profit by so doing, why i cannot Oregon ? Very truly yours, CARL R. THOMPSON. PROF. HAWKINS MAKES SURVEY OF CONCERNS (Continued from Page One) the tremendous importance of the | markets across the western seas, j ♦THE WETFOOT♦ “ALI- THE NEWS THAT’S FOOT TO PRINT” “WELL, HOW’S VOLK COL1) CbMlNG ALONG,” AN1) OTHER TERMS OF I* O S T - G A M E GREETING.

"It is cheaper to 3hip to most of the distant foreign countries than to Chicago and Dther eastern points in the United States. In the latter centers, Ore gon goods, after paying heavy transportation charges, come into ] competition with strongly en trenched industries in their home territory. “Oregon’s position for carrying on foreign trade is an asset to Ore gon industries not only because of accessibility to foreign markets but because of access to such for eign raw materials as may be lack ing here. We lack for example, coke for iron and industry, but this can actually be obtained cheaply from foreign countries via the port of Portland. Iron, which is now obtained mostly from Utah, can be brought in cheaply from Europe and India. Two Rare Books Given to Library Murray Warner Adds to Potter Collection Two rare books of the 15th cen tury have been added to the Paul ine Potter collection of beautiful books. These books were given to the library as gifts by Mrs. Mur ray Warner, director of the Fine Arts museum. “Popular Explanation” by M. Lunigi Lipoman, Bishop of Mo- ; dene, is the title of the first book, j It gives two sermons written in ! Latin, with the printing charac teristics of the 15th century Latin type, "Credo” and “Pater Noster.” This book was printed in Venice by Hieronymus Scot in 1541. It is bound in full red Morocco leath ei of the 18th century. The bind ing is decorated with the coat-of a.rms of More Foscarini, a Vene tian Doge who lived in the 17th ! century, and to whose library it j formerly beldnged. The second book is the "Royal Almanach for the Year 1776,” ed ited by Ann^fe Bissextile. This is also written in Latin and bound in red morocco with gold hand tool ing. It bears the coat-of-arms of Louis XV of France. According to the style of tooling and endpapers the binding should be attributed to one of Derone’s bindings of the famous family of French 18th century binders. It has an engraved plate of M. Thierry De Villedavroy. These books are in perfect con dition due to preservation.

Linklater Finds Scotch Students Business-Minded An education in Scotland is not what it is here, to judge by pas sages taken from a letter received at the business ad department from Kenneth Linklater, ’31, a business ad major. Apparently the Scotch are a thrifty bunch, despite rumors to the contrary, for he says: “There is certainly a different attitude among the students here than at home. All business and nothing else. None of them are going to college just to be going, and they all take their work quite seriously.” On the way over he quite evi dently pulled a fast one on the cook’s steward and the fishes, for: “I then had the good fortune to be in a wonderful storm on the ’Statendam’ (which ranks next to the Leviathan), but it was tossed around like a cork.” Linklater, whose father is a graduate of the University of Ed inburgh, is planning to return to this country next year and get his degree from the University of Ore gon. Five Co-eds Initiated by Theta Sigma Phi Sunday Formal initiation of new mem bers was held by Theta Sigma Phi, women's national journalism hon orary, Sunday afternoon in the women’s lounge of Gerlinger hall.
