problems, and the opportunity for
such a cooperation was never
greater than it is today, stated
Dr. Raymond C. Moley, professor
of social science at Columbia uni
versity, who addressed the editors

Leads Band
John Stehn, director of the Uni
versity band, will lead his music
ians in concert Sunday afternoon
at the music auditorium. This will
he the band's first concert of the
winter season.
Bandsmen Ready
For First Concert
Sunday at 4 p. m.
Thirty Musicians, Under
Stehn, To Play in
Music Auditorium
If you liked the larger and great
ly improved band which represent
ed the University of Oregon dur
ing the football season last fall,
you will be interested in the entire
ly different kind of work the band
members are doing this term as
demonstrated in the concert to be
given at the music auditorium Sun
day afternoon at 4 o’clock, John
Stehn, director, said yesterday.
In a concert which will require
no admission price for students or
the public, the 30 members of the
concert band, picked from the fall
term roster of 80 players, will give
an hour's program of strictly con
cert music.
March on Program
The first compbsition played
will be “The Florentiner,” a march
by Julius Fucik. This is considered
to be one of the finest of all mil
itary marches. It is written in the
brilliant and florid Italian style.
Following this will be the “Peter
Schmoll” overture, by Weber. It
is not as well known as Weber’s
“Oberon” and “Freibutz’’ over
tures, but is bright and tuneful,
and has a magnificent adagio
movement. A suite of four numbers
of ballet music from Gounod’s
“Faust” is next on the program.
One is a waltz, two are of an or
iental nature, and the fourth is a
bacchanale.
Slavic Number Listed
“Meditation," by George" Drumm,
is an organ voluntary which has
been scored for the band. There
is a charming melody for the
French horn and euphonium, fol
lowed by a larghetto in the wood
winds, and a conclusion by full
band.
The program will be brought to
a brilliant conclusion with Tchai
kowsky's "Marche Slave,” one of
the most stirring of all orchestral
compositions.
Making Rounds With News
Editors at Press Conference
Harold B. Say, of the publicity
department of the Portland cham
ber of commerce, was among
those who were listening in at the
conference yesterday. Eugene is
Harold's old stamping grounds.
Old-timers here remember him as a
reporter for the 'Guard while he
was a student in the school of
, journalism 13 years ago. He whiles
away his spare time in Portland
writing fiction for national maga
gines. Argosy recently bought one
of Harold's brain children.
* * *
J. E. Skelton, former editor of
the Eugene Guard, is another of
the old-timers who looked in at
the conference. He is now editor
of the Oregon Motorist and an of
ficial of the Oregon State Automo
bile association at Portland.
* * *
Bernard Mainwaring and Lucien
P. Arant. co-publishers of the Ba
ker Democrat-Herald, are here,
having left Will Evans and Klass
Powell to run the paper while they
made the trip over from Baker.
I
Mainwaring is a former editor of
the Barometer at the State college,
and Arant used to be a student at
Oregon.
* * *
Two former editors of the Emer
ald were sighted in the throng, and
perhaps some others were missed.
These two are Douglas Mullarky,
who ran the editorial end in 1918
19 and Leith Abbott, who was in
charge the following year. Mul
larky is now editor of the Burns
Times-Herald, and Abbot heads up
the publicity work for the South
ern Pacific in Portland.
* * *
Claude Ingalls, postmaster-editor
of Corvallis, was here. For some
reason the old-time clash of wit
between him and the Cottage
Grove Sentinel man, was missing
this time. Instead there was a
flash between Ingalls and the
United States minister to Finland.
Ingalls was discussing Postmas
ter Jones' paper on postal law as it
affects the newspapers. The sub

Skits, Trios To
Be Heard Over
Radio Sunday
Four Eiilrunt!< in Emerald
KORE Tourney Slated
For Broadcast
Improvements in College
Side Studio Finished;
Silence Asked
By DAVE EYRE
Four well-planned radio pro
grams are slated for presentation
over the air from 5 to 7 o'clock
tomorrow night, when the second
broadcast of the second annual
Emerald-KORE radio contest gets
under way. Susan Campbell hall
l will open the two hours of enter
Itainment, followed by Theta Chi,
Pi Bela Phi, and Phi Sigma Kappa.
Notes gathered from the respec
tive house representatives indicate
that four splendid programs will
be offered to radio listeners. Ida
Mae Nickels, director for Susan
Campbell hall, stated yesterday
that her organization has prepared
a skit of four scenes for the oc
casion. Musical numbers, includ
ing a girls’ quartet, will be worked
into the skit.
Band, Trio To Feature
Theta Chi will also carry out an
idea in presenting their program,
according to Dale Brown, house
representative. A five-piece band
and a men’s trio will be features
of their contest offering.
Pi Beta Phi has concocted a
play for their radio hour and it is
rumored that a new girls’ trio will
make its debut during the pro
gram. Florence White is in
charge of arrangements for the Pi
Phi contest entry.
An unusual program, with a
strong flavoring of the classical,
is predicted for Phi Sigma Kappa,
although George Barron, program
director, could not be located last
night to confirm the report. Phi
Sigma Kappa won the grand prize
last year and they are again ex
pected to set a high standard in
radio programs this year.
Studios Are Fixed
Improvements have been made
in the College Side studios in prep
aration for tomorrow night’s
broadcast. A grand piano, loaned
through the courtesy of the Lara
way Music store at 61 East Broad
way, will replace the dilapidated
upright piano that has been in use
during the past radio season.
Sound absorbing curtains and rugs
are being installed to assure the
best microphone reproduction pos
sible.
A sergeant-at-arms for each or
ganization appearing on an eve
ning’s program will maintain abso
lute quiet while the various num
j bers are in progress, but will en
I courage applause from the onlook
j ers when the said numbers are
j completed.
Emphasis on the need for si
;lence on the part of the audience
! during the programs was made by
' Art Potwin, director of the con
| test, when he issued the following
j appeal last night:
“Guests are quite welcome, but
some of the performers are quite
temperamental and desire absolute
quiet during the program. Ap
plause is desired between num
bers, but silence must be had dur
ing station and program an
nouncements.”
The trophies for the best indi
vidual performers in the contest
have already been announced. Paul
D. Green's store for men, and the
Densmore-Leonard ladies’ ready
to-wear shop are presenting the
silver loving cups in this division.
Grand prizes for the contest will
be made known early next week.
Pi Lambda Theta Takes

\ Albert Tozier Tells Stories
Of Newspaper Came
In Early Days
By LOIS NELSON
A keen-eyed, 71-year-old gentle
man named Albert J. Tozier.
j dropped quietly in on the press
'conference in the Journalism build
j ing yesterday, dumped on the ta
i ble a pile of historic stuff that
could be marketed for some hun
dreds of dollars, and before long
was telling tales of Teddy Roose
velt, of America in the 70's, and
of the newspaper game in Oregon,
back in its earliest days.
Apparently without letting con
ference heads know about it, Mr",
Tozier decided to come down, after
an absence of 10 years, to see how
things were going with Oregon
newspaper men. among whom he
has been a prominent figure for
some half century.
Back in 1907, Mr. Tozier was
president of the state press asso
ciation, forerunner of the editorial
association of today, and he was
a member in its organization days,
around 1887.
But that’s just one little high
spot in the full life that the Ore
gon publisher has made for him
self.
Farther back yet, in 1885, he at
tended the first meeting of the
National Editorial association, in
New Orleans, and he is today the
only member of that session still
living. He was the seventeenth
president of the national body,
serving in 1902 during the presi
dency of Roosevelt, whom he
knew. To leach the first session,
Mr. Tozier traveled from Chehalis,
Washington, where he had founded
one of the first papers in that
state, by water, train and stage
to reach the East. He was in
close association with American
journalists during the years that
he went from the far West to
meet with national publishers.
Among those he knew well was
Walter Williams, now president of
the University of Missouri, the
first man to be a dean of journal
ism.
In 1887, as a youth in the game,
Mr. Tozier set type at $25 a year
for the Hillsboro Independent,
which he later published. The
particular composing stick which
he and Ira Campbell, later founder
of the Eugene Guard, used in
Hillsboro is one of the historic
things he brbught with hint to the
present session.
His early newspaper work in
cluded association on the Salem
Statesman, of which he has copies
from 1859, and the New North
west, published by Abigail Scott
Duniway, nationally known wom
an's suffrage leader, whom he
knew well. Her brother, Harvey
W. Scott, noted editor'of the Ore
gonian, was his good friend. Wil
lis Duniway, managing editor of
the Emerald, and grandson of
Mrs. Duniway, was among those
who enjoyed visits yesterday with
Mr. Tozier.
While he was paving the way
for twentieth century journalism
in the state the pioneer newspaper
man saw the value in the work
of his contemporaries and he made
good record of it. He has been
collecting newspaper information
and interesting editions for nearly
60 years, and his possessions in
clude many of the state's first pa
pers—among them the Oregon
City Spectator, the New North
west, and early editions of the
Eugene Guard and the Pendleton
East Oregonian.
Chief among articles that he
showed younger publishers yester
day was the first city directory of

Will Give Second
English Reading
Housman’s Lyric Poetry
Will Be Given on
Series Sunday
The second of a series of Sun
day evening- English readings will
be given tomorrow night in the
women’s lounge of Gerlinger hall
from 7 to 8 o’clock. E. C. A.
Lesch, assistant professor in Eng
lish, will read from some of the
lyric poetry of A. E. Housman.
This is the third year that Eng
lish readings have been given on
this campus. The idea was started
a number of years ago when War
ren D. Smith was chairman of the
committee on intellectual activi
ties. It was decided then that
they were one way of satisfying
the cultural interests of the stu
dents. \
This series will continue every
Sunday evening throughout the
winter term, and will cover a va
riety of subjects, including plays,
poetry, short story, and many
other phases of literature.

university, will speak before the
Wesley foundation group of uni
versity students Sunday evening at
6:30 in the Methodist church. His
topic is to be “Sons of the Rising
1 Sun.”
Mr. Brumbaugh, who has had
considerable experience as a Chris
tian worker in the Orient, will also
speak at the evening church serv
ice of the Methodist church at
7:30 on the topic, “The Kingdom
of God in Japan.” He will probably
talk to the Wesley club students
again at their regular fireside
hour at 8:30 o’clock.
The fellowship half-hour at 6
o’clock will be in charge of Wal
lace Campbell.
The morning Wesley club serv
ices, at 9:45, are in charge of Mr
Frederick K. Davis, who is review
ing current literature dealing with
modern trends and issues in Chris
tianity.
Employee-Owned
Business Will Be
Topic for Talks
Powers Hapgoori, Cannery
Representative, To Be
On Campus Monday
A business without a boss that
has stood the test of twelve years
of successful production and dis
tribution will be the topic for
talks to be given by Powers Hap
good, of the Columbia Conserve
company in Indianapolis, Sunday
evening at 7:30 at the Presbyterian
church, and Monday morning and
afternoon before classes in business
administration.
The Monday sessions will meet
at 10 o’clock in room 5, Commerce
building, and at 1 o’clock in room
107 in the same building. The bus
iness ad school has invited inter
ested students to attend.
The company which Mr. Hap
good represents has worked out
one of the most unusual systems
of administration and wages which
has ever been tried in the United
States, Karl W. Onthank, dean of
personnel, explained yesterday.
Employees Own Firm
The firm is owned, operated, and
administered by the employees,
from the super-salesman down to
the stenographer and even the jan
itor.
The cardinal points of the organ
ization of the company are:
The stock of the company, ulti
mately will be in the hands of
trustees, named by the workers
and held for the common benefit of
all the workers.
The basis of wages is the needs
of the worker, not his efficiency
or “earning power.” The rate of
wages is fixed by the workers, and
differs with human conditions.
Workers’ Council Directs
Advancement to higher positions
carries no increase in pay. In this
plant, the executives are leaders
not bosses. Every policy, every
important matter, every detail in
the widespread operation is in di
rect charge of all the employees,
and can be changed or modified at
any of the council meetings of the
workers which are held frequently
and are conducted in the form of
round-table discussions in which
any of the employees may partici
pate.
This extremely democratic form
of business organization has flour
ished for twelve years and at this
present time of general depression
is experiencing no labor difficul
ties.

Last year Director was in
charge of the floor for the Junior
prom, and is qualified for handling
the floor for this year’s ball. Dor

“Music for this year’s ball will
receive special consideration, as
we feel that the quality of the
music is of first importance. We
shall try to make it the feature
of the dance. Bands from the en

well as those on the campus are
being considered, and every effort
to furnish the best will be made,”
Bishop said.
Landsbury Wins
Wide Recognition
Oregon Music Dean To Be
Speaker in Europe
Significant recognition in three
music fields, northwest, national
and international, have recently
come to John J. Landsbury, dean
of the music school at the Univer
sity of Oregon.
Dr. Landsbury has been asked
to be one of the speakers on the
program for the second Anglo
American music conference, to be
held at Lausanne, Switzerland,
July 31-August 7 of this year.
About 1000 delegates from Eng
land, the United States, Canada,
and European countries are ex
! pected to attend the conference.
Several months ago Dr. Landsbury
was made a member of the board
of directors for the conference by
John Erskine, well-known author
and educator, who is the Amer
ican president for the Anglo
American union.
The National Association of
Schools of Music held a confer
ence at St. Louis during the holi
days and elected the Oregon dean

House Managers
On Tax Committee
Proposed Bill To Receive
Special Attention
From Students
A special committee was ap
pointed last night by Calvin Bryan,
president of the house-n.anagers’
association, to correspond with
Homer D. Angell.^ chairman of the
ways and means committee of the
state legislature, on the matter of
the proposed bill for tax exemp
tion for fraternity and sorority
houses. The committee is com
posed of Kenneth Moore, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, chairman; Alexis
Lyle, Gamma Phi Beta, and Or
ville Garrett, Delta Tau Delta.
This bill for tax-exemption of
fraternity and sorority houses,
which has been drawn up to pre
sent to the legislature, is now in
the hands of Mr. Angell. It is
based on the belief that student
living organizations are not profit
making institutions, and therefore
should not pay taxes under the
present state law. At the present
time these living organizations are
taxed in the same way that profit

Huskies Drub
Oregon 31-26
In Ragged Tilt
Ducks Lose Fifth Straight
As Washington Takes
First Game
Fuller Stars for Visitors
With 13 Points; Oregon
Makes First Seore
The canny shooting of Fuller,
sophomore forward, put Washing
ton ahead of the Oregon Webfoots
in the earlier part of last night’s
game and, with a substantial lead,
the visitors stalled just enough to
cut down a final Duck attempt to
win, the Huskies taking the long
end of a 31-26 score. Fuller,
Husky sharpshooter, made things
bad for Billy Reinhart's outfit by
scoring 13 of his team's points, as
Oregon lost their fifth straight
game.
Although it took five full min
utes for either team to counter,
Oregon started out like a newly
made quintet, scoring first with a
free throw. The Ducks took the
ball away from the Huskies time
and again but played ragged as
the Purple squad took things easy
and piled up a steady stream of
baskets. Washington led 18 to 10
at half time, although the score
was tied 8-8 after the first ten
minutes.
Oregon Shots Miss
Oregon's ability to get the ball
counted for little as no one out
side of Hank Levoff was able to
loop the net consistently. The
Webfoots took the ball down the
floor in big league style, but .they
missed shorf shots and free throws
like a high school team.
A new combination, partly re
vised since the last game, started
against the Huskies and rushed
the visitors off their feet on of
fense, and except for their incon
sistent shooting would have prob
ably changed the final score. Dolp,
Stevens, Eberhart, Levoff, and
Rotenberg comprised the starting
lineup. Rotenberg, who starred in
the last Cougar game, was ragged
and mussed up plays time after
time by running with the ball and
dribbling into a mass. Experience
will make Rotenberg a good guard,
! however, as he showed streaks of
I good playing.
Calkins Gets Scores
Windy Calkins, who heretofore
hasn’t been able to get started,
linally broke into the scoring col
umn by chalking up two field
goal.s, and Cap Roberts, who seems
to improve with each game, also
tossed one in immediately after he
replaced Eberhart.
Though Reinhart had hoped to
crack the Huskies’ winning streak
in last night's game, he still held
out today that his charges will
eventually start getting the few
points' difference on their side in
stead of their opponents.
The Huskies play a second game
with the Webfoots tonight at 8
o’clock.

Many Desire Teaching Jobs
In Oregon, Survey Shows
Last year nearly 2,000 teachers
tried to secure jobs in Oregon
which were open to but 1,450. This
is an amazing figure and at first
glance would seem to point to a
large over-production in the edu
cational institutions of Oregon.
However, there is another side to
the picture, which is brought out
by Dr. C. L. Huffaker, of the Uni
versity of Oregon school of educa
tion, who at the request of and
with the cooperation of the state
board of education, has just com
pleted the most exhaustive survey
on this subject which has ever
been made in Oregon. Dr. Huf
faker’s survey, which has taken
several months to compile, has just
been published.
The missing factor in the above
figure is training. While there
were apparently over 500 teachers
last year who did not secure posi
tions for which they applied, there
was a large proportion among
their number and among those al
ready holding positions, who were
inadequately prepared. Through
the loophole of the examination, by
which teachers may be certificated
in this state, those poorly trained
teachers entered the lists, crowd
ing out those who were properly
trained and swelling the number
of the unemployed, so that there
was an apparent over-production.
Last June, Dr. Huffaker found,
teacher training institutions in this
state graduated 1,300 possible pub
lic school teachers. If this number,
300 dropped out, leaving 970, 800
of which secured positions. Evi
dently* 170 of these graduates
could not get jobs. About 1,000
other teachers, composed of those
graduating in other years, those
, from other states, or those enter
ing by means of the examination,
were also after jobs.
While it is almost impossible to
obtain figures on the training of
teachers who applied but did not
get jobs, statistics on the prepara
tion of those who actually held
down positions last year are very
significant, Dr. Huffaker believes.
