Education Body
Asks Hall, Kerr
For Joint Plan
Request Comes at End
^ Of Two-Day Meet
Scheme To Settle Curricula
, Differences, Save on
Budget Wanted
PORTLAND, Ore., May 14—
(Special to the Emerald) A joint
plan which will present to the
board of higher education a
scheme to settle their differences
on curricula and open the way for
the saving of $1,180,000 during the
next biennium was ordered today
by the board from Presidents Ar
nold Bennett Hall of the Univer
sity and W. J. Kerr of the State
college. The request followed a
two-day meeting during which
briefs and proposals prepared by
> the institutions were heard and
studied. The plan was asked for
May 27, at which time the board
will meet again.
The two presidents discussed
their problems and proposals be
fore the board, and their discus
sions indicated the principal points
of disagreement between them are
the proposed re-allocation of in
struction in pure science, business
administration, architecture, and
journalism.
A recent federal survey of Ore
gon’s institutions of higher educa
tion resulted in the recommenda
tion that the sciences be concen
trated at Oregon State college,
and that instruction in the arts
be centered at the University.
At the request of Governor Ju
lius L. Meier, the board is at
tempting to formulate plans for
saving $1,180,000 during the next
18 months. The presidents of the
University, State college, and the
three normal schools have submit
ted plans whereby they estimated
y a total of $576,625 could be saved.
Members of the board indicated
last night a compromise at about
$750,000 might be made. It was
apparent members of the board
would not favor cutting expenses
to the point where it would crip
ple the colleges.
When the figures were set down
here today, the board discovered
it had been seeking a greater re
duction than actually was neces
sary. The board had set out to
save $1,500,000 for the biennium,
whereas the maximum reduction
sought was $1,180,000. An error
in bookkeeping was said to explain
the discrepancy.
The board formulated a reply to
Governor Meier’s letter Wednes
day, which urged the board to
agree upon and announce a plan
of action. The reply was not made
public, but it was understood it
merely set forth that the board’s
indecision was due to the great
y amount of documentary evidence
submitted by the federal govern
ment, the University, State col
lege, and normal schools. These

Business Ad
Majors To Study
Buildings of Town
Don’t shoot any stray individ
ual who may come to appraise
your dwelling place. It's only a
business ad major trying to get
ahead—we mean a survey.
In the guise of a real estate ap
praiser business ad students will
be roaming the town from the de
pot to Thirteenth street covering
two blocks on each side. Each as
piring appraiser will investigate
the building in his assigned terri
itory and report on the condition of
the building, including age and de
crepitude. Each report will rate
the buildings as to ceilings, floors,
artificial light, furniture, fixtures,
natural light provisions, heating
equipment, general outside appear
ance, and window display facili
ties.
When the survey is completed a
map will be made displaying the
concentration and distribution of
the businesses in the territory cov
ered. According to Daniel D. Gage,
Jr., associate professor of business
administration, this map will be of
value to the realty board and the
chamber of commerce, although
the primary aim of the survey is
to instruct the students in apprais
' ing.
Initiates Laud
Green Goose of
Sigma Delta Chi
“Head it in the Green Goose!”
So cried the three Sigma Deltf
Chi pledges yesterday as they pro
claimed the dirt that would be re
vealed in the journalism scanda
sheet to appear on June 5.
Dressed in silk “toppers” anc
dress coats, Rufus Kimball, Hoy
Sheedy, and Jack Bauer, aided oi
inspired by their mascot, the green
goose (really only a common, or
dinary white and grey gander with
a green cloth wrapped artistically
about him) went through the in
itiation ceremonies of the journal

After the Green Goose was suf
ficiently lauded, the three young
journalists descended the steps of
the old libe—Kimball and Bauer
skating away on roller skates and
Mr. Sheedy being exclusive on a
velocipede—all puffing heavily on
unlighted cigars.
A.S.U.O. Officers

After Installation
Old Administration Gets
Gifts at Assembly;
Cherry Talks
The new administration of the
A. S. U. O. got officially under
way yesterday at the assembly
held at Gerlinger hall, when
George Cherry, retiring president,
administered the oath, and pre
sented the gavel to Brian Mim
naugh, president-elect. The newly
installed officers who will head the
student government for the year
1931-32 are Brian Mimnaugh, pres
ident; Walt Evans, vice-president;
Irma Logan, secretary; Velma
Powell, executive woman; Wally
Baker, executive man; and Jim
Travis, junior finance man.
A gold key was presented to
George Cherry, out-going 'presi
dent, and an engraved fountain
pen was presented to Bill Whitely,
Harriett Kibbee, James Dezendorf,
Reba Brogdon, and Anton Peter
son for the service they have ren
dered in the administration this
year.
Preceding- the installation,
George Cherry spoke on the ac
complishments of the administra
tion this year and the plans for the
future. “Oregon is just starting,
he said, on a ten year plan of pro
gress, which aims to increase the
scope of student activities. We
have had a successful year, have
succeeded in paying off a number
of debts, have doubled attendance
on Dads’ and Mothers’ day, and
have progressed materially in co
operation between students and
faculty.” He closed by urging the
students to cooperate with the new
administration.
Upon taking office, Brian Mim
naugh thanked the students in be
half of the new administration for
the honor they had bestowed upon

Women Scribes
Refuse Male Aid
In Issue Today
Headed by Betty Ann Macduff,
editor of the Oregon Emeraldette
today, the women journalists defy
the men to even hint that the male
edition is superior to the feminine
sheet.
From the big news scoop on the
front page to the latest sport dope
—not one word has been contam
inated by masculine hands or
thoughts. Yesterday threatening
signs warned the men not to cross
the sacred threshold—such things
as “Men and dogs not allowed,”
"Men beware of fiery femmes,”
and “All men out;” today’s sheet
is the result.
The upper staff working under
“Big Shot” Macduff includes Le
nore Ely, managing editor; Eleanor
Jane Ballantyne, news editor; Jes
sie Steele, day editor; Elinor Hen
ry, night editor; Lavina Hicks,
movie editor; Esther Hayden,
sports editor; and Jo Stofiel, fea
tures editor.
The men published their Emeral.d
two weeks ago, and the winner of
the two papers, to be judged by I
George Turnbull, professor of jour- j
nalism, will be treated to a party, j
Here’s to a lot of fun at the men’s j
un;son, cry the feminine members '
down at the shack.

Roger Bailey,
business man
ager of the Ore

Many appo.nt

There are two
Roger Bailey circulation man

Portland and one local, and a pub
licity director. Office managers
are needed and also organization
workers. Many other positions
are open in working for circula
tion and advertising.
Yearbook Big Job
It costs $12,000 to put out the
yearbook, which shows a huge un
dertaking. Big circulation drives
and advertising campaigns fur
nish much work for anyone inter
ested in journalism or advertising.
It is necessary that these posi
tions be given right away, and
plans will be started for the work
during 1931-32. Those showing
the best qualifications will be
chosen.
All who apply for places on the
business staff will be duly consid
ered and previous experience in
some phase of advertising work
will be an aid to the business man
ager in picking his assistants. The
appointments will be announced
next week.
To Increase Circulation
No definite plans have been
made; but it is hoped to increase
circulation numbers over last

Cal avail. King to
Greater Oregon
Committee Will Function
During Year Umler
New Plan
The appointment of Corwin Cal
avan and John King on the Greater
Oregon committee, was announced
last night by Jack Stipe, general
chairman. Calavan will supervise
the Portland district and King will
have charge of all other cities in
the state.
Instead of confining the work of
the committee entirely to the sum
mer months as has been done in
past, the committee will endeavor
to acquaint University students
with their own institution, in order
that they may be true representa
tives of the University, the chair
man said last night.
“We want to make the Greater
Oregon committee a group which
will direct the entire student body
in learning the facts about the
University which will prove of real
service to those people who intend
to enter the University,” Stipe
said.
The two men just appointed to
the committee will direct the work
of the committees throughout the
state, which will include keeping
them supplied with information
about the University during the
summer and making certain that
all workers are functioning.
“I would like to emphasize that
the Greater Oregon committee is
not a highly organized and intri
cate machine secretly operating
to high-preosure students into the
University of Oregon,” Stipe ex
plained. “It is rather a means of
acquainting our entire student
body with our University so that
during the school year as well as
during the summer they may be
of some real help to those who de
sire such information.”

Phi Mu Alpha Members Give
Program Entirely American
By JANET FITCH
Last night at the music auditor
ium Phi Mu Alpha, men's music
fraternity, presented a program of
music taken entirely from Ameri
can composers.
Ralph Coie, baritone, sang two
contrasting numbers with success
—a gentle one and a fierce one.
The fierce one, “Outward Bound,”
was especially successful.
Victor Bryant, flutist, gave “A
Street of Bazaars,” a Maganini,
which was a striking oriental sort
of thing, with street calls com- j
plete. The tones and nuances were
excellent, as was the dreamy waltz (
in the middle.
A very marching sea song, “Red
Bombay,” was powerfully ren- >
dered by Bill McNabb, tenor, who
also sang “The Moon Goes Drift
ing.” Hugh Miller, combination
pianist and organist, first gave
“Juba Dance,” clever piano skit by
Dett, with masterful staccato and ,
very adequate "booms,” and then j
| became an organist for “Fireside
Fancies,” imitative sketches given
| a sensitive and humorous interpre
i tation.
The violin duets played by
George Kothik and Laurence
Fischer showed good coordination
of tones, and were good lyric °ren
derings of the familiar "At Dawn
ing,” and “To a Wild Rose.” Clif
ford Nash, baritone, gave the dra
matic “Sea,” of MacDowell, and
also Head’s “The Piper,” with its
delicate piano “pipes.”
And last came the ensemble, di
rected by George Barron, with
j George Kotchik, Laurence Fischer,
| Rod Lamont, Gifford Nash, Victor
Bryant, Dolph Siegrist, Douglas
Orme, Ralph Coie, Vernon Wiscar
son, Ray Hardman, Charles Wood
in, Norman Johnson, John Finley,
Hugh Miller, Martin Geary. It
pleyed two Indian dances, full of
I the throb of drums and the insist
j ent rhythm attending Indian bel
ligerence.
Preparations

Declares Libby
Disarmament Meeting Is
Boon to World

To Billions of Dollars
Wasted bv Nations
•
By MARY E. BOHOSKEY
“The world is spending almost
| five billion dollars in preparation
j for war. It is stupid to spend
! such vast sums in preparing for
a future conflict, but all the na
tions are afraid to stop,” said
Frederick J. Libby, executive sec
retary of the National Council for
the Prevention of War, in an ad
dress to students yesterday morn
ing in Villard hall, at 9 o'clock.
The World Disarmament confer
ence next February, Mr. Libby
continued, is the most important
thing in the world both for the
United States and for other coun
tries, The conference will prob
ably be held in Geneva, and 60 na
! tions will participate. “No nation
dares to reduce its armaments
alone, but money would be saved
and confidence increased if they
were reduced,” said Mr. Libby.
Agreement Difficult
Only three of the nations that
j met in the London conference
! reached agreement. It will be
I doubly as difficult for 60 nations
to reduce all armaments. France
will be a problem. She is afraid
of Germany and is enjoying a
prestige in Europe that she hasn’t
had since the time of Napoleon.
She has a powerful air force.
“The world is becoming a union,”
Mr. Libby stated. “There’ll be a
world conference on wheat soon.
You ask, 'Why bring in a foreigner
to talk about our wheat?’ It is
because we can’t get anywhere
without them. Once we could do
our own thinking, but it doesn’t
work any longer.
U. 8. Trade Increased
“Our foreign trade has now
grown to ten thousand million dol
lars a year, and our foreign in
vestments to 17 thousand millions.
If these foreign countries get into
war, our money goes up in smoke.
Greece wanted to invade Bulgaria,
but they only marched for one day.

Alumni Office
Calls for Aid of
Japanese Artist
Have you a little artist in yom
home? And if so, can this little
artist translate and reproduce
Japanese characters into eithei
good readable English or respect
able Japanese?
The alumni office is looking for
just such a person. As you know,
the University has alumni of many
different races and scattered all
over the globe. When Frank Kat
suhru Shimizu was graduated in
'30, he was sent the customary
alumni information blank to be
filled out.
With all the exceeding courtesy
and promptness which character
izes the Japanese, Mr. Shimizu
obligingly filled out the sheet in
neat, legible English printing—all
except the address. In this blank,
to the great consternation of the
alumni secretary, Mr. Shimizu in
serted equally neat but absolutely
unreadable Japanese characters in
stead of English digits.
Jeannette Calkins, alumni secre
tary, is still puzzling over this for
eign address and would appreciate
any assistance proffered.

deal of time in driving about the
country sitle witii his daughter,,
Mrs. O. F, Stafford, and in bask

“I miss the freshmen more than
I can say,” Dean Straub remarked,
looking keenly, yet wistfully, as
groups of students sauntered past
his door, “because until recently I
have known all of them by name.
They have even been my proteges.”
Dean Straub is interested in ev

his old friends, his acquaintances,
and. any of the students who wish
to call. Dean Straub is known for
his interest and understanding of

announced that John F. Bovard,
dean of the school of physical edu

the Uniiersity staff since the ap

Mill Race New
Theta Chi Annex
For Spring Term
The mill race has been luring its
victims from the Theta Chi house
the past week. From the lowliest
frosh to the prexy himself—all, all
have been subjected to the waters
of the race.
First, the frosh doused the
sophomores who in turn gave the
juniors a ducking. This was fol
lowed by a baptism of the seniors
by the soaked juniors.
But the biggest splash of all was
that made by Weis Smith, Theta
Chi president. After a great strug
gle and not withstanding his body
guard, Norman Jesse, the prexy
was given a good bath. A thor
ough house cleaning was thus the
order of the week.
