Howe To Attend Athletic Meeting Schedules To Be Made Up, Contest Rules Decided H. C. Howe, professor of Eng lish, will leave for Los Angeles the second week in December to at tend the annual meeting of the Facific coast Intercollegiate Ath letic conference, for which he is the Oregon representative. This meeting is for the purpose of making rules for athletic con tests between the colleges and uni versities of the Pacific coast. The determination of amateur status and scholastic eligibility are some 01 the questions the conference has charge of. Also, at the time of this meeting, the graduate managers get together and make out the schedules for the following year. Weather Prophet Assigned Hard Job on Pacific Coast < 1 Do you ever criticize the weath er man? Most of us seem to feel that “some times he guesses right, and sometimes he doesn’t.” Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, professor of geol ogy, rises to defend the Pacific coast weather prophet as being at •a great disadvantage over other parts of the country. “Our weather in Oregon is caused by cyclones and anti-cy clones, the former bringing storms and the latter clear weather. These form on the north Pacific and creep up our western coast almost without warning. The few trans pacific boats and absence of wea ther stations on the Aleutian is lands leaves us without any data on which' to base predictions. Un fortunately we must wait until the storm before we can study it. “The cyclone, once formed, takes onto itself a regularity of shape, a uniform velocity, and a determ ined path. At it crosses the Unit ed States every detail of its move ment is recorded by thousands of observers, and all this is tele graphed eastward not only to the Atlantic seaboard but across to Europe. Therefore, eastern fore casters learn about the storm sev eral days or a week ahead of time. "Some day in the not too dis tant future weather stations will be established on the Pacific ocean. They may consist of anchored ships which will gather necessary data so that weather prophets on the Pacific coast will have the same advantages weathermen in the East have enjoyed for many i years. To Open Cpncert Season Guy Maler and Lee Pattison, internationally recognized as' the world’s foremost two-piano duetists, who are to appear in McArthur court next Tuesday evening, December 9, in the first of the series of five concerts to be given this winter under the auspices of the Associ ated Students. Admission will be free to holders of student body cards. Amateurs Thrill Audience in Production of One-Act Plays *Breaking of the Calm* Is Best of Three Offerings At Guild Theatre By ISABELLE CROWELL Last night at the Guild theatre the amateur cast of “The Break ing of the Calm” held the tense interest of the whole audience un til the last word had been spoken. Not one flaw marred the artistry of the production, and the audi ence, many of whom had come not expecting more than an average program, left the theatre thrilled and silent. The other two one-act plays, “The Dear Departed,” and “The University Club Makes Faculty Special Offer Non-Resident Membership Can Be Obtained for One Dollar A special offer of a non-resident educational membership for $1 has been made to University faculty members by the University club in Portland. In return for this fee, the club offers the unrestrained use of its various conveniences. These in clude a library, card .room, audi torium, writing room, and dining room. Members may bring guests at any time. The kitchen of the University club was rated second to the top at the last inspection of hotels and restaurants by the board of health. The club also maintains a catering service which is prepared to serve any number of guests. Camma Alpha Chi Elects Stofiel as New President Josephine Stofiel was elected i president of Gamma Alpha Chi, na-1 tional honorary advertising group ] for women, at a meeting held yes terday noon in the committee room ! at McMorran and Washburne’s. Other officers elected were: vice- j president, Janet Young, and secre tary-treasurer, Harriett Hofmann. Plans for the coming term were formulated but have not been re leased. Photographic Reprints Now Available at Co-op Photographic reproductions of portraits of famous English writers are now available to students in the High-Hat library of the Co-op. The collection includes pictures of Stevenson, Dickens, Lamb, Pepys, Huxley, Shakespeare, James, Con rad, Fletcher, Wordsworth, Shel ley, Darwin, Carlyle, Burns, Dis raeli, Byron, and Scott; the art ists range from the unknown por trayer of Shakespeare to Sargent, who is represented by his painting of Henry James. These copies were procured in London by M. F. McClain, Co-op i manager. Devil Comes to Alcaraz” were both fine entertainment, but it was well that the other play was the last on the program. All the casts gave smooth performances that were a credit to the direction of Mrs. Ot tilie Seybolt, and to Cecil Matson, her assistant. Jack Stipe was very convincing as the devil who came to Alcaraz, and was free from any over-acting or posing. Katherine Langenberg made the most of her part of Sas ilda, who, although the juvenile lead, was not a very dominating character in the play. “The Dear Departed was a clev er satire on the narrowness of the provincial townspeople. The small cast succeeded in holding up their characterizations. Eleanor Lewis and Zora Beaman as uncongenial sisters showed up petty quarrels as they tried to out-scheme each other for the supposedly dead grandfather’s belongings. The grandfather, well portrayed by Gene Love, upset their plans and complicated the plot by coming to life and announcing the changing of his will. Miles Shayr and Neva Lois Thompson carried their parts well, and it. was interesting to see Hobart Wilson play the henpecked husband in this play, and change in “The Breaking of the Calm” to such a contrasting character as the first mate, the lover of the cap tain's wife. Harvey Welch also succeeded in a change of character from the pompous and upholstered mayor in "The Devil Comes to Al caraz,” to the terrified and whim pering servant boy in “The Break ing of the Calm.” Applause must also be given to the other members of this cast in cluding Gene Love, as the good hearted captain, Inez Simons, as his selfish but beautiful wife, Ethan Newman, the second mate, and Sanford Platt as the silent ex pressionless Chinaman. The whole atmosphere was that of hopeless doom, shot through here and there by a flash of hope or expectancy. The scene was of a ship becalmed, whose passengers were dying from lack of water and food. The lines throughout had the simplicity of real tragic drama. Phi Delta Phi To Hold Banquet This Evening Phi Delta Phi, national law pro fessional fraternity, will have a banquet at 6 p. m. this evening at the College Side, according to Les ter Johnson, president of the group. Members of the organization will speak on legal subjects.

The custom of having attractive and useful novelty souvenirs for guests at the dance will be con tinued this year, according to Web er, and only a limited number of tickets to the affair will be sold so there will be plenty of room for dancing. The floor committee is endeavoring to obtain a suitable place near the campus for the dance and Nels Nelson, who is in charge of decorations, has promised sev eral novel effects in interior dec oration. Advertising Man Elected to Group Alpha Delia Sigma Makes Portlander Member Albert Green of the Bedell com pany, Portland, was elected to as ciate membership in the W. F. G.

Petition for Allen Continues; Committee Issues Statement Nearly 1000 Names Said To Re on Lists Put Around Campus Approximately 1000 signatures have been obtained for petitions circulated on the campus since Tuesday morning asking that Bob Allen, deposed managing editor of the Emerald, be reinstated to par ticipation in student activities, Ralph David, one of the group dis satisfied with the ouster decision of the executive council, estimated last night. Participation in student body ac tivities for one term was denied Allen, John Creech, yell leader, and Brian Mimnaugh, chairman of the rally committee, by ruling of the executive council following an un official rally the Friday morning preceding the Oregon State game. Creech and Mimnaugh in a signed statement declared later that Al len was in no way connected with the rally plans, but the student re lations committee, hearing the case, held that responsibility could not be shifted. “We realize that the petitions (Continued on Page Three) Student Relations Group Comments Upon Stand Taken in Case In explanation and comment upon the actions which have fol lowed the decision of the execu tive committee concerning- the penalty inflicted upon Robert Al len, ex-managing editor of the Emerald; John Creech, ex-yell leader, and Brian Mimnaugh, ex rally chairman, a statement was issued last night by the student relations committee through its chairman, George Cherry. The three students were placed upon activities probation for the next term on charges of instigating an unofficial rally held on Friday morning preceding the Oregon Oregon State football game. A petition has been circulated seek ing the reinstatement of Robert Allen as managing editor. The statement of the committee as issued by Cherry is as follows: "Believing that Oregon students appreciate the value of continued self-government and sincerely de sire to express any opinion only (Continued on Page Three) Noble States Need Of Perseverance In Work for Peace Task of the League Told By Noted Professor in Talk Last Night ‘‘Our first task is to see that we are ranged beside those na tions that have in a sense recog nized the fact that the road to international political salvation lies along the highway of complete co-operation for the promotion of the peace and welfare of the world.” Such was the sentiment ex pressed by Dr. G. B. Noble, pro fessor of political science at Reed college, in his address at Villard hall last night. It was a new spirit of perseverance and foresight in connection with our work toward international peace that the emi nent professor stressed as he out lined the advancement of universal friendliness and understanding during the past 12 years of the work here in the United States. World Problem Discussed Speaking on “Our World Prob lem- 12 Years After the War,” Dr. Noble pointed out that directly after the war promises were made to do all that was possible in elim inating such an occurence return ing again. Now when we look to see if we have fulfilled the prom ises we made then, what do we find? “Suppose the Unknown Soldier would return today. What would he see ? How would he feel ? He would find a fearful slump in idealism and the hope of the peo ple for a happy world failing. He would see a change in the attitude of the people toward democracy— the ills of democracy being cured by other forms of government. He would find nations spending more on armaments than before the war, and the rate of increase in the United States greater than elsewhere. “These aspects alone do not complete the picture. There are other aspects, and the most amaz ing is the network of new insti tutions woven into our lives through the League of Nations. Before 1914 there were no insti tutions for the common interests in the world. Before, only the forms and 'rules of the game' were drawn up for carrying on war. Now the representatives of 50 na tions meet annually not to form rules of war but to see that that thing shall never occur again. War is no longer a private affair between two countries. A prob lem arising in a certain part of Europe becomes the problem of the whole of Europe and is to be solved by combined efforts. The skillful technique of the league substitutes telegrams and letters for machine guns and warfare.” One of the difficulties pointed out by Dr. Noble was that the more successful the league is, the less we hear about it. Thus the people let their sentiment lie in their emotions rather than in rea son. They are guided by subtle fear rather than fact. He urges that the league be given a chance (Continued on I’age Four) Seven Features on Emerald - KORE Program Tonight Two Orchestras, Trio and Soloists To Be Heard At 8 o’Clock Seven complete acts are sched uled for the third “Oregon Daily Emerald of the Air” program of "Better Radio Season” that will be i broadcast from the radio parlors of the College Side Inn tonight from 8 to 9 o’clock. Gordon Fischer, “canary whis tler,” who made an impromptu ap pearance on last Sunday night’s radio hour, will make his official debut on the air tonight. The Kappa Trio—Janet Thacher, Lois Conover and Betty Hudson— will make their second appearance in the studios with more of their harmony. Maurice Kinney, soloist, will croon several current selections, playing his own accompaniment. Another blues singer to be heard will be Bob Holmes. Midway Orchestra To Play Guest orchestra for the evening will be Leo’s Midway Varsitarians, formerly of the Emerald-KORE staff. Members of the organiza tion are George Barron, Leo Lohi koski, Joe Haslinger, Byron Pat terson, and Morgan Johnson. The regular group of Emerald Entertainers will be in the band stand also to offer newly prepared dance arrangements. Dale Brown, Wilbur Thibault, Bruce Higby, and Sheldon Dunning are the men who make up the band. Barney Miller and Willie John ston, the Parlor Propagandists, will round out the program for the eve ning. “Our last programs of ‘Better Radio Season’ promise to be the best programs yet offered by the ‘Emerald of the Air,’ ” Art Potwin, director, said last night. “The Col lege Side Inn has installed a radio in the main room and especially invites students to come there to listen to the broadcasts.” i Spears Denies Late Rumors About Change Wire From ‘Doc’ Assures Future of Oregon Football Teams Question of Successor to Price at California Complicated One By JACKSON BURKE “Rumors without foundation or fact.” With this brief statement tele graphed to the Emerald, Dr. C. W. Spears summarily dismisses any tales which might have gone the rounds of late. With this fact known the Ore gon team and its future candidates may rest assured that they will be coached for the next four years at least by the present coach. Denial Complicates Matter The denial of Spears, however, merely complicates the California situation and speculation as to who will succeed Nibs Price will start, in earnest now. Oregon knows how much talk can be started when a new coach is being secured and it begins to look as if the Califor nia college is about due to go through the same situation. While no word has been received from the South as to what teams will be included on the 1931 sched ule it can be expected to provide the Webfoots with more tough spots than the one which has just passed. Attitude Is Wrong Along with all the talk of the resignation of Spears there has been a lot said about the success of the Webfoot team. Some have intimated that the Oregon coach was not satisfied to have it said that his team scored more than I one touchdown in but one confer ence game. This game was the Idaho contest which was won by the Lemon and Green by the score ol' 20 to 6. This attitude fails to take into consideration the fact that the Spears system very seldom scores many touchdowns in a game, the big coach being content to win his games rather than being interest ed in piling up large scores. Parsons To Start East Today for Conferences Dr. Philip A. Parsons, dean of the school of applied social science, will leave for New York early this morning to confer with prominent educators, philanthropists, and so cial work leaders regarding com munity organization work. Dean Parsons will go East by way of Washington, D. C., and will ' return by the same route. He plans to be back in Eugene De cember 18. Professors Honored at Masonic Lodge Meeting Past masters’ night was held yesterday evening at Masonic lodge No. 11. Those being feted were F. X. Agule, instructor in mil itary science; F. S. Dunn, head of the Latin department and C. E. Spencer, professor of law. Professor Dunn gave the wel coming address. Dorothy Davidson Pictures Her Life in Hawaiian Islands Goat hunting- in the mountains, swimming at Kakjj.ku beach, horse back riding along the Napoli cliffs, where a slip of the foot will send horse and rider plunging thous ands of feet into space, are just ordinary occurences in the life of Dorothy Davidson, of Ewa Oahu, Hawaiian Islands. “I decided to come to the Uni versity of Oregon because of the well known physical education school, and also because the Uni versity is rather small. You can't imagine the awful feeling,” “Dee” groaned, “coming here to school, not knowing a soul in the state of Oregon.” But in the three years "Dee” has been here, she has more friends than anyone on the cam pus. There was a wistful and faraway I look in her eyes when she was questioned about her home. ‘T was born in Ewa Oahu in 1910. We soon moved to Honolulu, where I attended grade school at Punahou. Moving back to Ewa Oahu, my mother, who was a school teacher before her marriage, taught me at home, during my freshman year at high school. For the remainder of the high school, I had to go to the other side of the island, Kauai, for my classes. I could only spend week-ends at home because of the distance. There were 400 students in the school, 10 of whom were white. In the graduating class, I was one of the two white people, from a class of 79. “Ewa Oahu is 90 miles north of Honolulu and is accessible by both boat and airplane. The island is 537 miles square, being made up of pineapple and sugar cane plan tations. There is one cattle ranch. (Continued on Page Two)
