Town Girls May
Hold Dance Here
WTHETHER to give a danee or
” not during Thanksgiving
vacation will be decided at a
meeting of the Town Girls’ club
this afternoon at 4 o'clock in
room 110 Johnson
East year members of the or

Men Sent Most
Warnings From
Too Low Grades
295 Males Receive Slips
As Compared Willi
93 Women
Three times as many men as
women were sent grade warnings
at mid-term, a report released
from the personnel office shows.
A total of 295 men received re
quests to interview their advisers
concerning their work, while only
93 women had grades low enough
to necessitate an interview.
Grade reports with interview
blanks, according to University
regulations, are sent to those stu
dents who are on scholastic pro
bation and have one V or one F,
and to those not on scholastic pro
bation who have received two or
more grades of V or F, or both
together.
When informed of their grade
standing, students are supposed to
answer the questions in writing
asked on the interview form, de
signed to aid their advisers in ana
lyzing their difficulties, and then
to seek the advisers’ help.
After the conference the inter
view blanks are returned to the
office of the dean of men by men
students and to the dean of women
by the women. If the blanks are
not sent back within a week, the
dean of men or women calls in the
students and explains to them the
importance of consulting their ad
visers.
List of Advertisers Sent
To All House Managers
The list of Emerald advertisers,
designed to increase response to
advertising in the student publica
tion, will be sent out to all houses
on the campus next Monday, Jack
Gregg, advertising manager, an
nounced last night.
“It is hoped that house managers
will consult this list when making
purchases, inasmuch as the Emer
ald is a publication of the Asso
ciated Students and its advertisers
should be patronized By them,”
Gregg said.
Business Ad School Makes
Study of Lumber Industry
That cyclical fluctuations in |
short term interest rates have a
direct bearing on the Douglas fir
lumber industry is brought out in
a research report on “Forecasting
l Fluctuations in Demand for Doug
las Fir Lumber” now in process of
preparation in the school of busi
ness administration in its bureau
of business research, according to
O. K. Burrell, who is now putting
on the finishing touches.
The original draft is nearly com
pleted and will soon be in the
hands of officials in the industry
for their inspection before it is sent
to the printer for official publica
tion.
According to the report, lower
interest rates in the past have
called for movement in the Doug
las fir industry within a period of
five or six months, however, pres
ent indications point to a consider
able lengthening of this period,
r during the depression of 1930, but
the powerful stimulus of low inter
est rates will undoubtedly assert
itself to speed up building con
struction.
The report also brings out the
fact that the Douglas fir industry
in the past has been an early mov
er so far as the major turning
points in the business cycle are
concerned and that the general in
dustrial activities in the past have
been preceded by movements in
Douglas fir. It also shows that
there is a considerable degree of
relationship between fluctuations
in the residential construction and
agricultural prices and the Doug
las fir industry, but that fluctua
tions in the Douglas fir industry
precede the fluctuations in resi
dential construction and agricul
tural prices.
The report also indicates that
| there is no correlation between
fluctuations in demand for Douglas
fir and volume of new corporate
financing, stock prices or bond
prices.
Promotion of Good Will Their Duty for Week

Dr. Caswell Has Doubts if
‘Last Laugh’ Will Stay Up
“I have my very serious doubts
whether the “Last Laugh” will
ever fly,” said Dr. A. E. Caswell,
professor of physics, when asked
for his opinion of the air worthi
ness of the strange craft being
tried out at the local airport.
“If the inventor had really car
ried out an entirely new idea, as
i did Count Zeppelin when he de
signed dirigibles, or as the Span
ish inventor of the autogiro did.
instead of merely remodeling an
airplane body which has been con
stantly perfected by corps of men
who have spent their lives in the
study of aeronautics, there would
; be more chance of his success.
“The inventor has, obviously,
■ comparatively little knowledge of
aeronautics, and his creation vio
lates several laws of flight. Then
the very name of the thing sounds
I dubious—‘Last Laugh.’ ”
Business Brisker, Boys Buy
Black Sooty-Shaded Shirts
Some ten years ago a broad
shouldered, heavy-chested gentle
man, clad somewhat ostentatious
ly in a black shirt marched down
from the hills (or was it up from
the plains ? ) into Rome. This gen
tleman, a blacksmith of some re
pute in his home town, carried as
a weapon, a club, as a badge, the
black shirt; and when Rome awoke
next morning the papers were car
rying headlines something like
this, “Local Boy Makes Good in
Rome.” i
But all of this is beside the point.
What we are getting at is this. Af
ter ten years of comparative peace
and quiet, here some 15,000 miles
to the westward the black shirt
shirt has again made its appear
ance. First, it was noticed on the
back of a rather isignificant-look
ing sophomore and not more than
nominal comment was excited. But
hark ye! If conditions keep up we
can visualize the campus philoso
phers philosophizing, the student
affairs committee holding regular
meetings and the Emerald editor
wasting reams of paper in an ef
fort to produce an editorial to deal
adequately with the situation.
Is the campus going fascist ? Is
the “Gentleman of the Shirt” ex
erting his influence over land and
sea to the campus of the Univer
sity of Oregon? Any day now we
expect to see some enterprising in
dividual marching down 13th street
chest out, chin in, the right arm
extended above the head with the
palm to the fore—and then—the
black shirt will reign supreme.
Why even the merchants of town
are failing us in the crisis. They
advertise it, even in the Emerald.
“Buy your term shirt now, and
save on your laundry bill.”

Debaters Chosen
In Annual Tryouts
For Varsity Team
Eighteen Men Selected by
Competitive Exam
For Squad
Eighteen men, the majority of
[ whom are sophomores, were cho
sen last night to make up the var
sity debate squad, as a result of
the tryouts held in Villard hall.
Newcomers to the squad are Neil
Sheeley, Charles Jones, Hobart
Wilson, Charles Yoshii, Charles
Dolloff, Leslie Whitehouse, John
King, Charles Roberts, Rolla Ree
dy, Marl Liles, Robert Gamer, and
Cecil Espy.
Six members of the squad who
were on last year’s team and will
continue this year are Arthur Pot
win, Walter Evans, Roger Pfaff,
Errol Sloan, Robert T. Miller, and
Wallace Campbell.
The contestants talked for six
minutes on either side of the ques
tion, “Resolved, that the United
States should gradually lower its
tariff so as to adopt a policy of
free trade in 2 years.”
Aboia in equal number of speak
ers chose each side. Those on the
affirmative maintained that free
trade would promote more of a
feeling of good will among the na
tions of the world, while the nega
tive maintained that our infant in
dustries would be destroyed and
our prosperity ruined if we adopted
a policy of free trade.
Dr. Ralph C. Hoeber, head of the
speech division, and Eugene Laird,
assistant in the department of
speech, acted as judges.
A large debate squad will be
used this year as a greater list of
home debates are scheduled. The
squad will begin work immediately
on the questions of free trade, pro
hibition, and chain stores.
Towards the latter part of Feb
ruary, two delegates will be sent
north to debate with the Univer

Rally Leaders Lose
Right To Participate
In Student Activities
Action Which Is Taken by Executive Council Removes
Yell King, Rally Committee Chairman
Anil Emerald Managing Editor
Exorcising authority as the supreme executive body of the
associated students of the University of Oregon, the executive
council last night suspended three students, John Creech, Hrian
Mimnaugh, and Robert Allen, from participation in all activi
ties for one term after their implication in the incitation of
a rally disrupting Friday morning classes preceding the Orogon
Oregon State football game.
Action was brought about by the executive council upon
recommendation to the student advisory committee that such
misdemeanors as may come directly under the supervision of

Willis Duniway
Managing Editor
Of Daily Emerald
Staff Member Succeeds
Allen, Removed by
Executive Council
Willis Duniway, editorial writer
on the Emerald staff, was appoint
ed by Vinton Hall, editor, last night
to succeed Robert Allen as manag
ing editor of the Emerald. Allen
was forced to vacate his position
by action of the executive council.
Duniway is a junior in the school
of journalism. He has risen rapidly
ly in the ranks of the Emerald
since his freshman year when he
started as a reporter. Throughout
all last year he held a position as
day editor, and was promoted to
the editorial staff at the end of
the spring term.
The new managing editor, who
goes by the name of “Bill” around
the Journalism shack, is from
Portland. He is a member of Sig
ma Delta Chi, professional journal
ism fraternity, and is campus cor
lespondent for the Portland News.
Mary Klcmm Is Member
War Prevention Society
Hiss Mary Klemm, U. of O., '30,
at present associate secretary of
the northwest office of the Nation
al Council for Prevention of War,
was in Eugene yesterday, speak
ing before the Eugene and Uni
versity high schools.
Miss Klemm has just recently re
turned from Washington, D. C.,
where she attended a national
conference of the organization
with which she is affiliated. She
has been traveling in Oregon,
Washington, and Idaho, address
ing schools, business and profes
sional clubs, and civic bodies. Her
headquarters are in Portland.
Miss Klemm is a member of Phi
Beta Kappa, Delta Sigma Rho, na
tional public speaking honorary,
and Theta Sigma Phi, woman’s
journalistic honorary.
.the association of students be han
dled by the supreme body of the
organization. The affair was pri
marily placed in th6 hands of the
student advisory committee, a
group composed entirely of faculty
members, which has previously
dealt with student violations.
By such suspension from activi
ties John Creech will no longer
hold his position as yell king.
Brian Mimnaugh is removed from
chairmanship of the rally commit
tee, and Bob Allen will lose privi
leges of acting as managing editor
of the Oregon Daily Emerald, ac
cording to the edict of the execu
tive council. Creech and Mim
naugh were held to be chief insti
gators of the Friday morning
rally which disturbed the regular
routine of the University educa
tional program. Allen, as manag
ing editor, unofficially tendered
his support to the rally by print
ing material in that morning’s
issue- which was said to have had
an encouraging effect upon the
rallying students.
“A gentleman’s agreemen t,”
stated George Cherry, president of
the student body, regarding the
action taken by the executive
council, “incorporated in the A. S.
U. O. constitution and exercised
only the night before, has been
violated by those acting in the
name of the association. The stu
dent relations committee and ex
ecutive council have acted for the
best interests of student govern
ment in placing the men on one
term activity probation.
“An organization,’’ he continued,
"cannot live long or accomplish its
purpose if it sets up standards and
conforms to them only at will.
Student government is not univer
sal. If we are to enjoy its bene
fits and yet, in so doing, prove
ourselves worthy of the trust
which every Oregon student prizes,
it is imperative, obviously, that
the group standards set up in the
constitution be the standards of
every individual and respected as
such.’’
Incorporated in the decision
handed down by the council is a
clause that the student removed

Caswell Gives Six Reasons
Why Saturday Classes Fail
Approximately six reasons for
the evident failure of Saturday
classes have been ascribed by Dr.
A. E. Caswell, professor of physics,
who conducted the survey last
week which indicated that they are
not achieving their object.
Natural resistance on the part
ot the students is given as one of
the chief reasons. The fact that
Saturday classes are an innovation
and consequently meet with some
disapproval is also assigned as a
cause. Quite a few students work
in local stores and, inasmuch as
Saturday is rush day for the
tradesmen, numerous students are
thus drawn away from the classes
held on this day, according to Dr.
Caswell.
Some of the professors like to
leave over the week-end and class
es on Saturday cause them incon
venience. Similarly it is nearly im
possible for some of the professors
who have classes in the Portland
extension school to get back on
time for their classes here, Dr.
Caswell said. Saturday is also the
most logical day for geology field
trips and the like and classes on
that day interfere, he added.
“It should be possible for a stu
dent either to get an even distri
bution of classes throughout the
week including Saturday, or to get
a schedule which does not compel
him to take classes on that day,”
he said.
"As it is, the classes are divided
into two groups, one meeting on
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fri
days, and one meeting on Tues
days, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
An avoidance of Saturday classes
causes a dropping off in the at
tendance for the other two days,
thus not only making Saturday
classes fail in their purpose but
also resulting in a piling up on the
other days, causing inconvenience.
