A few minutes later the source ap peared in the form of three Susan Campbell inmates, of whom the first bore the afore mentioned implement and the slogan “German Club Christmas Party” and the other two fol lowed after, dressed as German farmers. “What’s the harm in our do ing a little advertising?” shout ed the Germans, incognito, when conducted to tlieir rooms by a group of determined juniors and seniors. “If everybody else ad vertises the thing, why can't we? No, no, don’t speak to us. Don’t speak to us. We talk only German.” But the German revelers had put themselves very much in Dutch. Special Rate To St. Mary’s Game Now Cancelled Lack of Interest Results In Withdrawal of Rally Train Lack of interest in the Oregon St. Mary’3 Thanksgiving day game at San Francisco has resulted in the cancellation of plans for a spe cial train rate to the Bay city, which was offered by the Southern Pacific company at the request of the University graduate manager’s office. Instead of the regular fare of S30 round-trip with a 16-day stop over privilege, the company agreed to give a $24.75 rate with a 10-day stop-over privilege provided that 24 or more persons signed up for the trip. Only three replies were received, so the company was com pelled to withdraw the special rate. Frank G. Lewis, ticket agent of the Southern Pacific, said that he believed the small amount of in terest in the offer was caused by a slump in football enthusiasm due to the recent defeat at Corvallis. Ten Students Are Teaching Music ‘Cadets’ Do Practical Work In Eugene Schools A good part of the music in struction in the public schools of Eugene is being done this year by ten '‘cadet-teachers,’’ students in the music school of the Univer sity who are finishing off their years of theoretical training in public school music with practical work. Nelson L. Eossing, professor of education, is in general charge of cadet teaching, but the music ca dets work under Mrs. Anne Lands bury Beck, director of public school music in the music school and supervisor of music in the city schools. The cadet-teachers this year are: Hugh Miller, Eugene; Helen Ash liman, Salem; George Barron, Ashland; Mar Abel Eraden, Leba non; Margaret Cummings, Klam ath Falls; Esther Frost, Estelle Johnson, and Marguerite Spath, Portland; Dena Lieuallen, Adams; Lucy Spittle and Helen Elliott, Astoria. The main work of these instruc tors is to teach group singing, but j they have in addition organized I orchestras in a number of schools Eruptions of Cascade Peaks Are Predicted by Dr.Hodge Mt. Hood, steams of molten lava flowing down its sides, while it throws great clouds of ashes and cinders over the green forests of Oregon, is the picture described by ' Dr, Edwin T. Hodge, professor of geology, as an incident very likely to happen some time in the not too distant future. “When people look at the beau tiful mountains that form the crest of the Cascade range, they little realize that they are looking upon sleeping volcanoes,” said Dr. Hodge, “which not very long ago were throwing out clouds of steam and poisonous gases while spread ing a thick mantle of cinders over the country. North of the Three Sisters are two vents that perhaps rot more than 500 years ago gush ed forth with so much lava that it buried the countryside for an area of 500 square miles. “In some regions there are great piles of black cinders identical to those found beside railroad tracks lying 500 feet deep and a mile square. These are not the only evidences of recent activity of Ore gon volcanoes. I have found indi cations from Mt. Hood to Crater lake of thermol forces being act ive within the last 1000 years. Where one finds so much evidence of recent vulcanism they cannot but suspect that the forces pro ducing eruption are only tempor arily dormant. The pure white snows that cover the summits of these mountains, the glaciers, and the fields of meadow and forest land at their bases are not assur (Continued on Page Two) 1 Bill Pittman To Handle Annual Prep Meeting High School Conference Is Scheduled for Campus January 9 and 10 Convention To Be Eleventh Sponsored at Eugene By University Bill Pittman, president of the senior class, has been appointed chairman of the eleventh annual High School conference to be held on the campus January 9 and 10, according to an announcement from George Cherry, president of Associated Students, last night. “The chairman for this eleventh annual conference, Bill Pittman, having had an unusual amount of experience, is in itself an assur ance of success, but his greatly broadened plans will require a cer tain amount of responsibility from each one of us,” said Cherry in speaking of his appointment. Conference Justified “The very nature of the High School conference,” he continued, “with its far-reaching possibilities, is such that only this feeling of individual, as well as group re sponsibility can justify its contin ued existence.” Pittman, in speaking of the con ference, said: “The success of this year’s High School conference does not rest upon the work of any one individual or group, but upon the co-operation of the Associated Students as a whole. “The paramount purpose of this conference is to create better re lations between the high school students and institutions of higher education. And to that end we are endeavoring to bend the com bined efforts of the student body. A. W. S. to Aid “The A. W. S. has expressed a willingness and desire to aid in whatever way they can to be of assistance in the new plans. The necessity of this type of co-opera tion on the part of every organi zation that is in position to assist in accomplishing the true purpose of the conference cannot be over emphasized.” “The conference,” he concluded, “will be divided into several sec tions—high school journalists, stu dent body executives, woman’s league officials, and others—with the possible addition of athletic managers to the list of invited guests.” Manager’s Office Open To Students on Friday For the convenience of students who are remaining on the campus over the Tnanksgiving vacation, the graduate manager’s office will be open all day Friday as usual. The office will not be open on Thanksgiving day or on the fol lowing Saturday forenoon. On Saturday afternoons the office is always closed.

Former Oregon Student Drowned In River Sunday Dayton Skirving Perishes In Columbia While on Hunting Trip Dayton Skirving, 19, University student last year and a member of Bachelordon, local social fraternity, was drowned in a deep channel of the Columbia river near The Dalles Sunday, according to a re port from that city yesterday, i Young Skirving had just shot a goose from the bank of the river and in attempting to retrieve it from the water plunged in the cold, swirling channel. The swift cur rent of the treacherous eddy car ried him away from shore, though he was known as a strong swim mer. Two companions attempted ; to rescue him, when he was seized with cramps caused by the cold water. They succeeded in reach ing his side and had towed him a short distance when the freezing waters overcame their efforts. The swirling eddies of the river, which maks this place unusually treacherous, especially in the win ter seasons, carried Skirving under and away from shore, as his two companions were barely able to reach land themselves. Skirving had attended Oregon (Continued on Page Four) Two Trios Make Radio Debut on Sunday Program Program of Foreign Talent Presented in Interest of International Week A men’s trio that promises to go far in the lighter type of mu sical circles on the campus made its first public appearance on Sun day night’s ‘‘Oregon Daily Emer ald of the Air” program over sta tion KORE. Johnny Smedberg, Kel3ey Slocum, and Bob Goodrich are the three boys who make up the new organization. They have patterned their work on that of the famous Rhythm Boys and al ready have a splendid duplication. The radio parlors of College Side Inn also witnessed the debut of another trio on the campus. The Kappa Trio—Lois Conover, Betty Hudson, and Janet Thacher—sang ‘‘Confessin’ ” and “South Sea Rose” in perfect harmony. Hugh Biggs, dean of men, gave an interesting description of his work in the University. He dis cussed with Chet Knowlton, who conducted the interview, the mat ters of student loans, school ac tivities, a University-owned radio, and student government.

Holders of student body cards will be entitled to hear all of the concerts free, since the major por tion of the expense of bringing the artists to the campus is born by the Associated students. The series opens on Tuesday, December 9, with a presentation of Guy Maier and Lee Pattison, two-piano ensemblists, and closes sometime in April with a joint ap pearance of the University sym phony and University choir. The Portland Symphony orchestra, ap pearing Sunday, February 22; Florence Austral, soprano, who is billed for February 5 and Nathan Milstein, violinist, scheduled for January 21, comprise the other three attractions on the series, which is considered by musical au thorities of the campus to be the most brilliant ever to be sponsored by the Associated students. On Farewell Tour Maier and Pattison are two American pianists who, after 12 years of artistic and daring work in the little-frequented field of two-piano music, are now on their farewell tour. They have revived forgotten compositions for two pianos by classical composers, and many modern composers have been inspired to compose others by their work in developing this field. Nathan Milstein is a young Rus suian who is now universallly held to be one of the five greatest vio linists in the world. Last winter he appeared as soloist with several Pacific coast companies, and cre ated such a sensation that he was immediately engaged to return on another tour this winter. Singer Australian Florence Austral is an Austra lian singer who seems to be on her way to eclipse the record of her famous compatriot, Nellie Melba She is best known for her concert work in England and the United States, and many of the most dis criminating critics of these coun tries do not hesitate to call her the greatest soprano of today. Symphony Appears The Portland Symphony orches tra is appearing for the third time in the la3t five years on the cam pus. Students have been quick to appreciate an opportunity to hear one of the best six orchestras in the country, and have packed the hall every time. Departing from the customary evening perform ance, the orchestra concert will be given on Sunday afternoon. The date for the joint appear ance of the University symphony and the University choir has not been set as yet, but it will be dur ing April.

Webfoot Grid Warriors Go South Today Spears To Take 35 Men To San Francisco for St. Mary’s Came Oregon’s Passing Attack May Calm Force of Gaels Thursday BULLETIN The final rally of the 1930 football season will be held at the Southern Paelflc depot at 12:20 p. m. today when the Ore gon football men entrain for San Francisco. Brian Mimnaugh, rally chairman, has asked all houses to have early, Informal lunches this noon to allow stu dents to be at the station down town before the train leaves. Yell King Creech and his staff will lead the send-off rally. By BRUCE HAMBY Determined to wind up the sea son with a victory, the Webfoot grid squad, 35 strong, will leave at noon today for San Francisco, where they will meet St. Mary’s Thursday rooming in the Kezar stadium. The Thunksgiving game has at tracted wide interest since St. Mary's win over Fordham last week. Fordham was one of the country’s undefeated elevens anc'. was considered the strongest in the East. A victory over the Gaels now would odd greatly to the Web foot record. Doc Spears expressed confidence last night that his team had an even chance to win. With the ex ception of Austin Colbert, who is still bothered slightly with his shoulder, the entire squad is in tip-top condition. Spears stated last night that Colbert would start the game, but he expressed doubt as to whether he would be able to last the full 60 minutes. Both Have One Loss Both teams have gone through the season with only one defeat. St. Mary's lost early in the season to California by one point, 7 to 6. Since then they have gone through a comparatively easy schedule without a loss. The one blot on the Webfoot record is the disaster at Corvallis. The squad will go through a light practice session this morning at 9:30. Another workdut will be held Wednesday in San Francisco. The field at the Kezar stadium is turf and the workout will give the Webfoots a chance to become ac quainted with the grass gridiron. A long workout was held yes terday, with most of the session devoted to pass defense and of fense. From all indications Coach Spears is planning on depending upon a strong aerial attack to score upon the Gaels. With Kitz miller back in the lineup, the backfield has shown great im provement since the Oregoto State game Many plays that had been kept under cover to be used against the Beavers have been gone over thoroughly during the last week and the Gaels may well expect to see footballs soaring all over Kezar field. Line Must Hold If the forward wall can live up to the expectation that was placed upon it since the outset of the season, the chances for a win Thursday will be greatly increased. While it is true that the Staters were the only ones to break through the Oregon line, the few times that they did so were most disastrous. Accompanying Doc Spears are (Continued on Page Three) Business Bards Bring Back Cash, Credit and Collections How to wring blood from a tur nip, or better yet, how to grant credit and then collect again, is the genera! object of a course be ing given in the business ad school under the guise of “credit man agement.” Many and subtle are the ways to perform this operation. The first step, however, is to look the pros pect in the eye and guess whether or not he intends to pay you back. If the guess is wrong and the other scientific safeguards fail to work, then the wringing process must be applied. The knack of how to wring is now being studied by the class. Without the gentle ^ouch, the pro cess often leads to a general rough and tumble; to avoid this, certain preliminary steps must be gone through with, such as the repeti tion of soothing incantations be for the party gets too rough—for, in the field of credits, to the victor do not always go the spoils, and a pretty little ditty is better ap plied first, than last when severer remarks are in order. An assignment to the class to write such a lullaby resulted in the disclosure of several souls who give promise of being either darn good collectors or better poets. The following was submitted as a suit able prelude to a collector’s hymn of hate: We’ve phoned you twice. For. your advice. You’re causing us much sor-.... row.
