’rry Germans
"all In "Dutch”
rpHE raucous sound of a table
spoon upon a wash-tub, ac
companied by three voices sing
ing “Oh Tannenbaum,” aroused
Susan Campbell hall to startled
action at the witching hour of 9
o’clock Saturday night. 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

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

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

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

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

Series of Five
Concerts Will
Be Held Here
Season Opens With Piano
Ensemble at Igloo
Deeember 9
Student-Body Cards Entitle
Owners To Free
Admission
Five splendid concerts, instead of
the usual four, are scheduled to be
given in McArthur court under the
auspices of the Associated students
on the 1930-31 concert series, ac
cording to Ronald Robnett, assist
ant graduate manager.
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

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.

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.
I’m dead sure you know
We’d like our dough.
Please send a check tomor-....
