Florence Ruby of
Olds and King’s
To Talk to A.W.S.
Mass Meeting Scheduled
For Thursday at
4 P. M.
Miss Florence Ruby, of the per
sonnel department of Olds, Wort
man and King, Portland, has been
selected as the speaker for the
winter term mass meeting of the
Associated Women Students next
Thursday at 4 o’clock.
Miss Ruby will talk on some
phase of vocations for women.
Her presence here will start off
the new A. W. S. vocational pro
gram for the women of the cam
pus. She will remain on the cam
pus Friday to have appointments
with individual women who wish
to discuss vocational work with
her. Appointments may he made
through the dean of women's of
fice.
During the rest of winter term
outstanding women will be
brought to the campus every one
or two weeks to speak to smaller
groups of women who are inter
ested in particular fields of work.
There has long been a feeling
among the women of the Univer
sity and the administration that
too many girls are in college who
are not very certain in their own
minds of the line of work they
would like to do when they grad
uate from school. It is to help
them in this, by bringing success
ful women here to discuss various
professions that women may en
ter, that the A. W. S. has under
taken the new project.
The meeting is intended for all
women of the campus. This sub
ject, it is felt by leaders of the
A. W. S., is one in which upper
class women are especially inter
ested, since they will be out of
school and working so much
sooner than freshmen and sopho
mores.
"The Woman Always Pays?"
See The 1929 Crime Survey
Who said it is the woman who
pays? A murrain take him, who
ever it was, for the results of a
recent crime survey made by
Wayne L. Morse, professor of law,
and Ronald H. Beattie, research
"fellow, at the request of the last
legislature, indicate that the
woman has a three-to-one chapce
over men of getting off scot free
in a circuit court trial.
An investigation of the felony
cases in Multnomah county during
1928 and 1929 was carried out and
revealed a number of rather inter
esting things, among which was
the fact that the practice of bar
gaining for lesser crimes by crim
inals is rather widespread and,
also, the fact that women are fa
vored with the largest numbers of
acquittals in a trial.
Out of 163 women originally ar
rested on felony charges, only
three finally were confined to the
penitentiary, while 143 out of 1608
men were “sent up.” Thus women
have odds of 154 to 1 of finally
landing in the “big house,” while
men have only an 11-to-l chance.
Thirty and four-tenths per cent of
men bargain for lesser counts,
w’hile women prefer to take a
chance and only 25 per cent of
them try to reduce their charges.
It was also discovered that more
than 40 per cent of those appre
hended on felony charges were un
der 23 years of age.
Another conclusion they derived
from their survey was the fac*t
that the courts worked fairly in
dependently of one another instead
of in close co-operation as they
I are reputed.
Students Entitled
To New Library,
Says L. A. Wood
Professor Attends Session
Of American Economic
Association
If the Yale university can furn
ish its students with an eight mil
lion dollar library of modern Goth
ic design and which has its smaller
reading rooms furnished with up
holstered chairs, Oregon deserves
at least a half million dollar
structure, was the opinion express
ed by L. A. Wood, professor of eco
nomics who recently returned from
the East where he attended the
annual session of the American
economic association on behalf of
the University of Oregon.
Professor Wood delivered an ad
dress before the economic group
and the American Association for
Labor Legislation, on the relation
ship of union-management cooper
ation on the railroads to the prob
lems of technological unemploy
ment. “Unemployment,” he stated,
“was threshed out from every an
gle, and many valuable conclusions
were arrived at but it is doubtful
if these will be of real use in the
present crisis. They should, how
ever, form the basis of action be
fore another depression occurs.”
One interesting feature of meet
ings in Cleveland was the deliver
ing of a lecture by Miss Florence
Thorne, secretary tp the president
of the American Federation of La
bor, to the American Economic as
sociation while members of the Ho
tel and Restaurant Employees’
union picketed the hotel in which
the lecture room was situated. The
trouble had arisen over a lockout
by the hotel management of the
employees. Representatives of the
American Sociological society and
the Economic body jointly investi
gated the affair and reported the
management to be at fault. As an
outgrowth of this affair both the
hotel and the employees sought to
provide means whereby similar oc
| currences in the future would be
: unlikely.
Thursday Is Last Day

Students who have not been
photographed for the Oregana by

appear in the pictorial section of
I the book, it is announced by Hen
rietta Steinke, editor. Pictures
must be taken at the Kennell Ellis
studio between now and Thursday
evening, and appointments must
be made immediately, in order to
secure a position on the photogra
pher’s schedule.
The deadline was postponed un
til Thursday on account of the
last-minute rush of appointments.
In addition, all proofs must be

Jack R. Dant
Named Senior
Grid Manager
Couneil Appoints Football
Head To Take Webfoots
Through 1931 Season
Junior Managerial Staff
For Next Year Named
By ‘Hack’ Miller
Jack R. Dant, of Portland, sen
ior in economics, will be senior
manager of football in 1931,, it was
announced last night by George
Cherry, president of the associated
students. The appointment was
made by the executive council, on
the recommendation of the athlet
ics committee.
During the 1930 season Dant was
one of the junior managers for the
team, and in the previous year he
held the position of sophomore
manager. In 'making known the
choice of the executive council,
Cherry commented on the consist
ent quality of his work, and the
ability which he has shown to fit
him for the executive position.
Tough Schedule Ahead
“Next Year’s football schedule,”
Cherry said, “will make more than
ordinary demands on the student
manager. Dant’s appointment by
the executive council gives the stu
dent body a most capable and ef
ficient manager as shown by the
records of his past managerial ac
tivities.”
At the same time with the selec
tion of Dant to head the force of
football managers for next year,
Robert E. “Hack” Miller, manager
of sports, yesterday appointed the
five junior managers who will as
sist in carrying on the work. Thiiy
are:
Junior Managers
Harold Bede, Cottage Grove,
sophomore in law.
Guy Stoddard, Modoc Point,
freshman in business administra
tion.
Edwin Robb, Los Angeles, sopho
more in social science.
J. Ivar Shuholm, Portland in so
cial science.
Ray Goff, Bend, sophomore in
pre-law.
Alternates who will take the
places of junior managers if nec
essary, are:
Carvel Case, Molalla, sophomore
in journalism.
Ed Cruikshank, Portland, sopho
more in business administration.
Douglas Wight, Beaverton, soph
ore in sociology.
“Confidence has been placed in
these men,” Miller said, “due to the
efficiency and hard work which
they have shown throughout their
activity in the past. The type of
men who are coming into mana
gerial work is an indication of a
steady improvement of the sys
tem.”

Eugene’s Airport
Displayed in Film
Three Co-eds Feature of
Short Moving Picture
Vying with interest for a mo
ment or so with the famed “Hell’s
Angels” picture itself is a short
motion picture film of the Eugene
airport that is being shown at the
Colonial theatre along with How
ard Hughes’ famous epic. This film
includes in its action three Univer
sity of Oregon students, Madeleine
Gilbert, Carol Hurlburt and Doro
thy Illidge, who take the roles of
passengers in the big Hobi Air
ways monoplane.
The short subject is shown as
part of the announcement of the
“sobriquet” contest that the thea
tre is conducting in connection with
the feature picture, and it states
that four lucky persons who most
fittingly describe the leading star,
Jean Harlow, will be rewarded with
free rides in the Hobi plane. A
number of theatre tickets are also
offered as prizes.
The feature picture, "Hell’s An
gels," which is attracting unusual
attention, will play at the theatre
the rest of the week.
Lecture By Byrd To Be Open
To Students At Special Price
- *_
A.S.U.O. Manager Secures
Lower Admission Rate
For Antarctic Talk
Half the price that University of
Washington students paid a few
days ago to hear Rear-Admiral
Richard E. Byrd lecture will buy
an Oregon student a ticket for the
lecture that the aerial conqueror
of the Arctic and Antarctic is to
give in McArthur court Thursday
evening.
By making special arrangements
with the managers of his lecture
tour, Fiugh Rosson and Ronald
Robnett, graduate manager and
assistant, have secured for Oregon
students a special rate of 75 cents,
which will admit them to the best
general admission seats in the
court for the lecture and the 9000
feet of motion pictures which are
to be shown with it. Washington
students paid $1.50 at Seattle last
week-end and packed the house.
Tickets are now on sale at the
Co-op.
Considered from the practical,
point of view, Byrd’s aerial exploits
overshadow those of Lindbergh.
Under the greatest of difficulties
he has been the first man to fly
over both the North and South
Poles and has made very import
ant contributions to man's knowl
edge of the Arctic regions. In 1926
he flew a plane, together with
Floyd Bennett, from New York to
France.
Before he entered on the aviation

world’s attention, Byrd led a varied
and colorful life. He attended the
famous Virginia Military institute
and the University of Virginia.
Later he entered the U. S. naval
academy at Annapolis, and in 1911
played brilliant football as quar
terback on a team that beat the
army.

Work Abroad
A limited number of fellowships
to study in European countries are
now being offered to American

pamphlets from these schools
abroad, and has made it available
to students who want it.
Amounts in each of the fellow

University Loses
Active Debaters
On Varsity Team
Pfaff, Sloane Withdraw;
Hicks Not in School
This Term
Varsity debate for the Univer
sity suffered a considerable blow
yesterday with the announcement
by Dr. Ralph C. Hoeber, assistant
professor in the English depart
ment, of the withdrawal of Roger
Pfaff and Errol Sloane from the
men’s team, and the inability of
Lavina Hicks, woman varsity de
bater to return to school this term.
Pfaff and Sloane are two of the
most experienced debaters in the
University. Both participated in
the debate with the English uni
versities squad this fall, and have
been active in debate for the last
three years. Roger Pfaff repre
sented the University in the Pacific
Forensic League oratorical contest
two years ago. He took part in
the Old Line oratorical contest last
year and was to have debated
against the Hawaiitn team but was
prevented on account of illness.
Errol Sloane has been active in
both extempore speaking and de
bate for the past three years. Last
year he went on a debate tour that
covered nine states. Both men
have won prizes in the Wilson F.
Jewett speech contests presented
in the University every year.
The two men were forced to
withdraw because of their heavy
class room schedule along with
their interest in scholarly research
in other fields.
“While this is quite a blow for
Oregon debate this year,” Dr. Hoe
ber stated, "it is with my complete
approval that they are withdraw
ing in order ^hat they may gain
experience in other fields.”
This leaves Art Potwin, Robert
Miller, Walter Evans, and Wallace
Campbell to carry on the debate
work. None of these men, however,
have had more than one season’s
experience.
The withdrawal of Pfaff and
Sloane will leave a place for inex
perienced men, which is in line
with the policy of the speech di
vision to give actual experience to
as many qualified students as pos
sible.
i
January 25 Is Date Set
For First Band Concert
The University of Oregon baild
will give its first concert of the
season January 25, at the Music
auditorium. This will probably be
the only concert given this term,
according to John Stehn, director.
A series of open air concerts
have been planned for spring term.
GallantGent’s Fist
Slashed By Glass
^ ALLANTKY, that masculine
trult discussed so much in
feminine circles, flowed in the
veins of one man yesterday only
to flow out again.
This student (like all heroes,
withholding his name), after
climbing the steps at Y'illard,
opened the door for a co-ed—
or rather, he meant to open it,
for instead of pushing it open
his hand shattered the glass in
the door.
After the confusion had sub
sided and the girl had entered
the building, the hero tied a
handkerchief around his hand
and went to class. We wonder
what the janitor at Villard
thinks of gallantry now.

Emerald-KORE
Contest Slated
To Start Soon
First Program Broadcast
Will Be Sunday Night
At 5 o’Clock
All Group Representatives
Meet Today With
Art Potwin
Fifty-three letters announcing
the second Emerald-KORE contest
have been delivered by the mail
man to 53 living organizations on
the campus of the University of
Oregon, and the contest director,
Art Potwin, is now awaiting what
he hopes will be 53 answers from
the fraternities, sororities, and
dormitories of the University stat
ing their intentions to participate
in this contest.
Meeting Today
A meeting of representatives of
all groups participating in the
contest is slated for 5 o’clock this
afternoon in room 105 Journalism
and general rules and regulations
of the event will be discussed at
this time. Drawings for positions
on the broadcasting schedule will
also be held.
The first program of the con
test will come over the ether next
Sunday night direct from the Col
lege Side Inn and will begin at 5
o’clock. The programs for each
organization will be half an hour
In length, as they were last year,
and all rehearsals for the broad
casts should be conducted on this
time basis, Potwin said last night.
! The Sunday night program will be
the only one during the week to
be sponsored by the Emerald and
will last two hours. This will
mean that four different groups
will present programs on one Sun
day night’s broadcast.
Six Prizes Awarded
A total of six prizes will be
awarded to the winners in the
contest, which will end in the mid
dle of March, if present plans are
carried out'. A grand prize will be
awarded to that living organiza
tion presenting the best program
in the entire competition. In ad
dition to this, a special prize will
be awarded for the best radio hour
given by a group of the opposite
sex other than that which receives
the grand prize—that is, if a
men’s organization receives the
grand prize, the best program of
fered by a women’s organization
will also win a prize, or vice versa.
Following this in the list of
awards will be a second and third
prize. Another addition to the
list of prizes will be cups offered
to the outstanding male performer
of all the broadcasts and to the
outstanding artist in the women’s
division.
Vinton Hall, editor of the Emer
ald, in commenting on the forth
coming contest, said last night
that he believes this year’s radio
event will prove even more inter
esting than last year’s contest be
cause of the fact that a great
amount of new and excellent tal
ent has bqen discovered among
living organizations during the
past term, and for this reason all
entries in the contest will be on
an equal basis as far as winning
prizes is concerned.

Cook Murders Sweetheart
By BETTY ANNE MACDUFF
With Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Rob

their two sons, George Robbins, as
sociate professor of business ad
ministration, Walter Robbins,
freshman in business administra
tion, Hugh Biggs, dean of men,
and Tom Stoddard, assistant grad

able, honest, worthy, peaceful citi
zens of this comparatively peace
ful town.
Some time ago Mr. and Mrs.
Robbins hired to be their cook one
Paul Katsuda, student at the Eu
gene Bible university, a Jap boy.
Katsuda was an excellent cook
and moreover was very pleasant.
Everyone highly approved.
Then came December. Katsuda
begged to be allowed to go to Seat
tle for the Christmas holidays.
Why? “I sing so” was all he
would say. To every question he
was asked he would reply, “I sink
so.”
But eventually the truth leaked
out. Katsuda had a girl in Seattle
he was very interested in seeing.
Learning this, the four Robbinses,
Messrs. Biggs and Stoddard agreed
that such a good reason was worth
letting the boy go.
“But see to it that you are back
by January 4, and don’t forget,”
were their parting words. Katsuda
assured them fervently that he
would. ‘‘I sink so,” he said.
