Whither Athletic Control? \ BRIEF survey of the proposed athletic control under the recently completed bureau of education survey, in which the now famous “professorial basis” is given strong encourage ment, shows that several deep-rooted complications would im mediately develop were the plan put into effect. The survey recommends six district changes in the present athletic administration of both Oregon and Oregon State. The first of these is that the present boards of control composed of students, alumni, and faculty members be abolished. The second change provides for the control of intercollegiate athletics to be incorporated in the schools of physical education and to be administered upon the same basis as are the academic major divisions. Any step that tends to take away student representation on any matter that so vitally concerns the majority of students on the campus seems to be a backward one. Recent years have shown a decided increase in student self-governing powers, both along athletic and academic lines. There is no provision made for the present day system of having a graduate manager, em ployed by the student body association, and it is hardly conceiv able that a satisfactory schedule could be arranged without a capable graduate manager. All football receipts and other receipts from other athletic contests would be handled and budgeted by the administration under the proposed plan anil the football coach would be a reg ular instructor in the physical education department, receiving only the regular instructor’s salary for his work. This step would seriously affect any student governing body; it is a well-known fact that the majority of the student boiiy association expenses are paid for out of football receipts. It would be impossible to employ a first-class coach for the regular salary paid physical education instructors. All athletics would decline, and the student body association would suffer propor tionately. But We’re Glad To Sell! fT'HE unusual situation created by American capitalists giving continued support to the communist Industrial program in Russia while the United Stales government refuses to recognize the Soviet state was brought still further to light by figures revealed Wednesday by the department of commerce. The department’s figures show that last year Russia's pur chases during January and February totaled $31,656,832. This year purchases during the same period reached $36,383,010 nearly a $3,000,000 increase. Russia’s exports to the United States dropped, however, from $3,509,395 to $1,372,195. American goods and technical aid have figured largely in the industrialization program of Soviet Russia. Forty American cor porations are lending financial aid to tire five-year plan, and nearly two thousand experts from the United States are laboring in Russia as technical experts for the foreign government and employes of the corporations. Russia as a communistic state stands opposed to the United States as a capitalistic state. The industrial revolution in prog ress in Russia today is the biggest piece of social and economic business in the world. If it succeeds, the United States, along with the other capitalistic countries of the world, will pay the price of its success. But with the situation as described, Amer ican corporations continue to do business with Russia, not only on a cash basis but also on a credit basis, thus lending to the Soviet program the support it so vitally must have. If the United States government feels that the communistic system must be destroyed in order to preserve its own life, it might take steps in that direction by forbidding exports to Rus sia. So far the agitation has been to place embargoes on Rus sian goods coming to this country. But a more telling blow could be dealt by the withdrawal of American technical and financial aid. When a new building- can be constructed to house the Uuild theatre, the dignity of the administration offices will be en hanced. A visitor to see the University president or registrar would, no doubt, be a bit upset to see the piles of furniture and other intimate trapping- of the stage which so often clutter up the mum hall in the administration building. Disgusted seagulls have given up waiting for the smelt run at the mouth of the Sandy river and have returned to the coast. Now if these impatient birds could only be trained to catch mosquitoes on the wing, we could give a few score honoiary memberships in th% associated students and station them up and down the mill-race during spriug term. *••**•*•*** * Good morning, everybuddy, * * have you seen a pair of soap? * * ( no dirty creeks, plizz.)

He had dark hair, a little moustache and cold black eyes which had a tendency to pierce one through and through. He danced with me, and kept pressing me nearer and nearer to him, all the while drawing his face closer and closer to mine. At last, with beating heart, I heard him whisper passionately into my shell-like ear, “Will you come into the side room—to meet my moth er?” I could not resist. It seemed that some strange spell had been woven about me. Weakly I allowed him to draw me towards a low door near the rear of the room. He quickly pulled me inside and closed the door. I swung about,— and HOLY KITTENS!—his mother WAS there! And that night I resolved that never,—never as long as I live, will I place my faith in man again.

To the Editor: The time of the year is not far off when the editor of the Em erald will be handing over his job to a new man, to carry on as he has been doing throughout the past year. Almost without exception the editor has always been a man who lias worked up from the ranks of reporters to the head of a complex student publication with scores of people working under ’him. He becomes attached to his position. It becomes almost his second na ture to work and worry over “his paper.’’ Being the editor of the Emerald means a lot ami the edi tor would like some little token I to remember the days when he guided tlie sheet through thick and thin. X think it would be a fitting and i proper gesture on the part of the Emerald to present its business manager and editor with key charms of some sort in recogni tion of their work. They would mean a lot in after years, i know I 1 COLDEX IS OUT!

Shoe Shine The Green Lantern The Green Parrot DeNei'fe's Densmore-Leonard University Barber Shop Dr. Hodge Relates Story of Mount Multnomah Volcano Imagine on the next sunny day | as you look eastward to the Three Sisters, a gigantic mountain peak towering 15,000 feet into the air, almost a mile higher than Mount Hood, standing where the Sisters do today. Mount Multnomah, a vol cano, would be throwing its lava and ashes over the countryside of Oregon even now had it not been i for a terrific explosion which prob ! ably occurred in its depths, accord | ing to Dr. Edwin T. Hodge pro fessor of geology, who "discovered” ! the prehistoric mountain. The ■ story of Mount Multnomah was ! told by Dr. Hodge several years ago, but it continues to attract ever wider attention. “Mount Multnomah’s steep slopes extended as far west as Belknap springs, as far north as Mount Washington, as far east as the town of Three Sisters, and as far south as Elk Lake,” said Dr. Hodge recently. "The outer and more gentle portion of its slopes, how ever, extended farther westward than Eugene and to equally great distances in all directions. The entire upper portion of this moun tain was destroyed either by ex plosion or subsidence, leaving a gi gantic caldera ten miles in diam eter. "This caldera, if not the largest, is only equalled by two other sim ilar ones in the world. In the days of its perfection one might have stood on the edge of the cavity and looked out across an azure blue lake ten miles in diameter, and over a mile in depth. It exist ed, however, long before man had | appeared on this earth. Since that, the caldera has suffered such se- ■ vere erosion that its walls are rep resented only by the erosional rem- ! nants of the North Sister and Lit tle Brother on the north, the Hus band on the west, the Sphinx, Wife and Devil’s Hill, all forming part of the south rampart, and Broken Top to the east. “Within this caldera, since that time, there has been built the Mid dle and South Sisters and on its outward sloping walls there has developed the sporadic cones of Black Crater, Scott Mountain, and ! Bachelor. "The story of Mount Multnomah begins 10,000,000 years ago, when the Pacific ocean extended over the State of Oregon and washed against the western slopes of the Rocky mountains. At this period only two islands showe'd promise of our state, Shoshone and Siski you. At the close of this first per iod, the Eocene, an enormous frac ture occurred along the present axis of the Cascade range, and brought a great line of volcanoes into existence extending from Bogosloff in Alaska to Tierra del Fuego in South America, Mount Multnomah being included. Mount Multnomah Largest “This mountain was at first built up into a volcanic cone com posed almost exclusively of ash and other fragmental rocks. The ef fects of the following period have had a great influence on the indus tries, flora and fauna, and the very lives of the people of Oregon. “It was at this time that the molten lavas reached the surface and poured out in thousands of separate volcanic flows over much of the state. Of all the volcanoes of this time Mount Multnomah was undoubtedly the largest in Oregon. The cone rose higher and higher, pouring its lavas farther and far ther outward, until at its climax at the close of the Miocene, it stood 15,000 feet high and extend ing a distance from the center of over a hundred miles. The lava from its crater flowed to nearly all points in the Pacific northwest. Disappearance Is Mystery “Where did this mountain go? It may have sunk into the depths in the same fashion as Mount Ma zama disappeared. It is more prob able that an explosion occurred which must have rocked the very foundations of the world, and j hurled the entire top of the moun tain away. “In the history of mankind two such explosions have occurred, that of Krakatau in 1883 and of Katmai of Alaska in 1912. The shock of Krakatau’s explosion was felt over the entire world. The ashes and rock fragments were blown so high that they did not settle out of the atmosphere for over three years, and in the upper streams of the air were carried entirely around the earth,” Dr. Hodge continued. that I would treasure such a little! token more than a lot of “brass” I collected in my college career. I would gladly have paid for it myself or had the expense taken out of my editorial salary. The A. S. U. O. gives its presidents such an award. Why not a little memento which would be worth fifty times its face value to edi tors ? AN EX-EMERALD EDITOR Music Instructors Leave for Spokane Three members of the music faculty, Dean John Landsbury, Mrs. Anne Landsbury Beck, and Rex Underwood, will leave today for Spokane, where they will par ticipate in the conference of north west music supervisors to be held in that city from Monday till Thursday of next week.

HEY! ’EAR AND 'AIR Should Professors Be Trained In Public Speaking? "I think they should, certainly; because some of them need it!”— Bob Quinn, junior in pre-medics. * » * "Well, no, I don't think public speaking is necessary because public speaking is to draw atten tion to the speaker and not neces sarily to state facts. The object of a professor is to state facts only. It is therefore, not necessary to put on airs. However, he might make his lectures more impressive by this added feature.”—Lloyd Sherrill, senior in economics. * $ * "I think it is necessary because professors lecture so much and they also have to speak to so many students that they should have a good appearance and be able to deliver a lecture easily and enjoy ably.”—Norma Chinnock, fresh man in English.
