EUGENE, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1931 NUMBER 109 Oregon’s Case To Go Before Board Monday Hall To Submit Revised * Budget and Plan Education Body Meeting At Salem Expected To Be Vital One To present the University’s case to the state board of higher edu cation, Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the University, will go Monday to Salem, where the board will meet. At the conference, Dr. W. J. Kerr, president of Ore gon State college, is expected to offer his findings, and recommend ations are looked for from the presidents of the three normal schools at Ashland, La Grande, and Monmouth. Three things are due from Dr. Hall when he appears before the board. These are the revised bud get, a plan of operation to conform with the federal survey, and a plan worked out with President Kerr outlining a single administration for the two schools. Meeting Is Awaited Persons interested in higher edu cation in the state are looking for ward to Monday’s meeting of the board, which supervises the five institutions in Oregon, as one of the most important since the es tablishment of the board in 1929. As stated to the students gath ered in general assembly on the campus Wednesday morning, Dr.' Hall is expected to make a vigor ous effort to retain science courses at the University. The recent fed eral survey on higher education in Oregon proposed that upper di vision and graduate work in the pure sciences—geology, chemistry, physics, zoology, botany, and mathematics should be transferred to Oregon State college, where a y “great school of science” wouid be founded. University Needs Sciences The loss of sciences from the University’s curricula would break down the framework of the true University, it has been pointed out by the Oregon president. “The Uni versity should be maintained as a place for a well-rounded and thor ough education for students, and sciences are certainly essential,” Dr. Hall told members of the fac ulty two weeks ago in a meeting at which he received a whole-heart ed vote of confidence. “Many phases of higher education are as dependent upon sciences as any other branch of learning, and we earnestly hope that this can be re tained for the University,” Dr. Hall said. The president further stated his stand on the science question at the assembly Wednesday when he said, “We can't have a great Uni y versity without a great science de partment. To take away the de partment is unheard of in the his tory of education. There is not one J state university in the country but has full sway over such work.” A request to the state board to reject the proposed science shift was sent to the board Wednesday by six prominent Portland men in an open letter. “No university worthy of the name can maintain (Continued on Pape Two) | Scandal Sheet ' Plans Forming; Staff Selected | rpHE 1931 Green Goose, an nual “seandal sheet” publi ] cation of Sigma Delta Chi, na t i o n aJ journalism fraternity, which will be issued on the campus after the final edition of the Emerald this term, will be under the leadership of T.

The entire personnel of the pro duction will go through the pro gram in the order in which the events will appear in the final pre sentation. This rehearsal, though rather early, will be of great importance in figuring the time element, the stage settings, the best order of appearance for various panto mimes and short acts which will be presented before the curtain between the main acts, Barney Miller, co-director of the event, said. The early rehearsal will also give both the participants and the fac ulty a general idea of how the fin ished production will look, Miller maintained. “I wish to impress upon the members of the various casts, in (Continued on Page Three) OSEA District Meeting Scheduled for Today The second district meeting of the Oregon State Editorial asso ciation this month will be held to day at La Grande when publishers of the Umatilla, Union, and Wal lowa district will gather for their meeting.

Hoover9 Helen Wills Moody Relatives of Oregon Student The reporter approached the southeast corner of the Emerald copy room. With one foot on the typewriter and the other in the wastebasket, Jim Yergen, senior in ^ journalism, indulgently leaned back against the wall. “What’s this I hear about you being related to Helen Wills Moody through Herb Hoover?” the writer questioned. » “Oh, yes,” began Yergen. “Helen Wills Moody is one of my favorite relatives.” “Is that why you are such a good tennis player?” the reporter inquired. "Well, I wouldn’t want to say it’s why I’m such a good tennis player. Rather, it must be why I’m such a poor golfer. But this is getting into technicalities,” he replied. “Really?” the writer exclaimed, f “Yes, we must by all means steer clear of any technicalities. Now take President Hoover. I wouldn’t want to say the reason he was elected president was be cause he happens to be my step aunt’s brother or my father’s step brother’s brother-in-law. Of course, that may have had its influence, but I really wouldn’t want to claim any credit. “Now as to the former Miss Wills. Traced down to actual facts, she’s my father’s step brother’s wife’s brother’s (Her bert’s) son’s wife’s cousin’s wife. To simplify the thing we must condense it. Then she becomes my step-aunt's nephew’s cousin-in law, or my father’s step-sister-in law’s niece’s cousin (by marriage), or my step-uncle's brother-in-law’s daughter-in-law’s cousin-in-law.” "Yes, yes. But let’s not take it to court,” pleaded the writer, fighting for some air mixed with his habeas corpus.

No longer can they covet their well-known curb smoking room. The law students have come off the pedestal. They have stooped to mingle with the com mon run of college inhabitants, the herd, the rabble, the great un washed, business ad majors. All of this because King Baseball, god of all good Americans, raised his voice and said, “C’mon, youse guys. How about some kitten ball with the business ad school?” Father Baseball has tumbled mon archs from their thrones, caused most of the spring hookey playing in grammar school, caused office boys’ grandmothers to die a thou sand deaths so that they could get a half day off; but who would ever think that it would break down the stern wall that the law school has thrown about itself? To get right down to the point, though, it seems as though the law school has issued a challenge to the business administration school for a game of “kitten ball.” “Kitten ball,” in case you don't know, is indoor baseball played outdoors. Here is the challenge with all its legal trimmings: “To the students and faculty of the school of business administra tion, greeting: “Whereas, a rather scurrilous and disrespectful notice in gram mar peculiarly suggestive of a business administration student has been posted on the bulletin board of the law school; and "Whereas, said notice purports to speak for the students of the school of business administration in challenging the law school to a game of ‘Kitten Ball'; “Theiefore, be it resolved by the law school of the University of (Continued on Page Two)
