Law Student Undergoes Appendicitis Operation Gordon Keane, third-year law student from Grandview, Oregon, underwent an operation for acute appendicitis at the Pacific Chris tian hospital yesterday. Dr. George I. Hurley performed the operation, and reports say that the patient is doing nicely. Feeling ill, Mr. Keane entered the infirmary, but as his condition grew worse, it was necessary to transfer him to the hospital for the operation. Mr. Keane is af filiated with the Sigma Nu frater nity. Hungar and Bilges Hold No Pleasure for Oregon Gobs Starvation, tropical heat, devas tating hurricanes — all the thrills of a Joseph Conrad novel were packed into a month’s voyage this summer by Henry Jayne, sopho more in business administration, and Ned Kinney, junior in business administration. "We had planned to spend six months on this ship,” Jayne ex plained, "but when we finally limped into New York, I had had enough. What ship was it ? The S. S. San Bernardino. Ned was em ployed as mess boy and myself as quartermaster." “The ill-fated voyage began from Seattle on August 1. Unusually good weather was encountered un til we reached the Gulf of Tehaun tepec, off the coast of Mexico. From that time on into New York we were the victims of mountain ous seas, hurricanes, and tropical rain storms.” Jayne paused to say that the Panama Canal zone was one of the most interesting sights seen during the entire trip. As it took exactly eight hours to traverse the canal, there was ample opportunity to "see the sights.” “But when we were a hundred miles off the coast of Panama our troubles began. Heavy seas caused the shifting of th® deck load and gave the ship a list of twelve de grees. On the second day the greatest misfortunes of the entire voyage befell us. In the first place the larder was washed overboard, and immediately afterwards the oil tanks on the starboard side ex ploded. flooding the aft quarters with crude oil a foot deep. At this point Ned Kinney be came the principal character. He was not one of those fortunate enough to escape that nausea of the sea, and for six days was con fined to his compartment. When he recovered, however, the job of bailing out the oil was assigned to him. An average of 14 hours a day was spent in this task. “By this time the boat had set tled to a 28 degree list,” continued Heinie Jayne. “With the larder gone the only remaining eatables were bread, and therefore, for 12 days, our meals consisted of bread and water. The ship was so badly disabled that the members of the crew laid wagers as to when the “tub would sink.” No one believed that we would ever reach New York. “It was a great experience, but I wouldn’t advise it as a rest cure,” Jayne concluded. Law Enrollment Increase Great, Says Dean Morse University Law School Has Recommendation of State Lawyers The enrollment in the University law school has increased more than 35 per cent over the enroll ment last year at this time. The figures, coming from the office of Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law school, show 93 students, as a total last year, to compare with the 126 names on the school’s incompleted register at the present time. The list is not closed until the lapse of another week as the extension of time for registration is a special privilege to seniors. Two reasons stated by Dean Morse for the increased registra tion is the high standards main tained in the law school which have prompted the lawyers of the state to recommend that the pros pective lawyers seek their educa tion here, and the fact that more and more of the students are recognizing that the training pro vided by a study of law is valu able irrespective of what work they take up after college. Changes in the arrangement of the law school’s quarters on the second floor of the Oregon build ing have been made during the summer. The library has been uni fied and all books brought to gether in the front of the build ing, a central librarian’s desk built in, and the study space in creased from 18 to 76 chairs. Speaking of the changes, Dean Morse said, “Visitors to the school, who are acquainted with the other law libraries on the coast, invari ably remark that the present ar rangements make the school as workable and efficient as any law school on the coast. We cordially invite all members of the faculty and student body to come over and inspect the place.” U. of W. Will Welcome Webfoot Grid Rooters “We students of Washington are ready to extend to you of Oregon every courtesy. We are well pre pared to duplicate the spirit you showed us in Portland last year.” Thus reads the opening paragraph of a letter received by the Emer ald yesterday from Seattle. The letter emphasized a post game dance to be held Saturday night in the Aerie room of the Eagles auditorium. Mauly John son, penman of the letter and pub licity chairman of the dance, quoted the tickets as $1.00 per couple. The auditorium v/ill be decor ated in the colors of the respective schools “such banners and pen nants that will blend into a real post-game football dance.” Stu dents attending the Seattle game are urged to patronize the dance in the same manner that Washing ton students did the Oregon dances held in Portland last year. Fisher Appointed To Seat on Choir Governing Body Officers Chosen on Friday; Barron Is Re-elected Head of Group Ed Fisher has been appointed to a seat on the board of directors of the University polyphonic choirs by George Barron, presi dent, it was made known last night. The appointment was made to fill a vacancy made by the withdrawal of Bill McNabb from school. Barron was re-elected president of the organization last Friday. Other officers and members of the board are Hose Simons, secretary treasurer; Nancy Thielsen, and Harold Ayres. The other members of the board were in office last year. All mat ters of policy affecting the choir are decided by the board of direc tors, and the management of the 40-voice first choir, the 200-voice second division, and the men’s chorus is in the hands of this gov erning body. Fisher is a charter member of the polyphonic choir and sang with the University glee club for four years. In 1927 he was bass soloist with the glee club in a joint concert with the Portland Sym phony orchestra given in Port land, where Deems Taylor’s “The Highwayman” was sung. In 1928 and 1929 he was soloist with the glee club in the Christmas presen tation of the St. Cecilia mass. Lone Student Confined To University Infirmary Business is poor even in the University infirmary, there being only one student, Bob De Graff, confined there with a cold. The peak so far this year was reached last Thursday, when the infirmary contained seven patients. All of these but Mr. De Graff were dis missed over the week-end. Local Addresses Must Be Reported To Grad Manager 'J'HOSE students who had not determined their Eugene ad dress at the time of registration must report immediately to the graduate manager’s office in McArthur court with their new | local address, according to Iton i aid H. Rohnett, assistant gradu ate manager. This correction of addresses is nesessary to se cure accuracy in the student directory, which is going to press very soon, and it is the desire of the graduate man ager’s office to have every ad dress correct. Change of address may be phoned in or the student may call at the office in person. Open House Up To Committee DecisionToday Phi Sigs Sign Petition Favoring Plan Campus Sentiment Divided On ‘Bunion Derby’; New Ideas Sought With a petition bearing the names of 45 members of Phi Sigma Kappa on file in the dean of wom en’s office in favor of Open House, and with pleas for and against the annual all-campus get-acquainted event dinned in their ears by inter ested students, a committee of seven students and two faculty leaders will meet at 4 o’clock this afternoon to decide the fate of the “bunion derby.” Meeting in the office of Mrs. C. L. Schwering, dean of women, will be Brian Mimnaugh, president of the A. S. U. O.; Ann Baum, presi dent of the A. W. S.; Janice Hedges, president of heads of houses; Paul Bale, Cliff Beckett, and Con Hammond, interfraternity council representatives; Willis Duniway, editor of the Emerald; Virgil D. Earl, dean of men; and Dean Schwering. October 17 Date Open House now stands tenta tively on the fall term social calen dar for the evening of Saturday, October 17. Action of the commit tee today may either result in ap proving this date, cancelling the event entirely, or substituting some other arrangement for the present plan. Questioned last night, Dean Schwering expressed doubt that the committee would reach a defin ite decision this afternoon, but said it would go into the question thor oughly and consider all proposals for change or betterment of the plan. opinions Arc inviucu Opinions of the committee mem bers seem evenly divided. Bale, Beckett, and Hammond, of the in terfraternity council, are expected to vote against the present plan to sustain the action of the organ ization of fraternity presidents which twice has voted against Open House. Mimnaugh, Duniway and Miss Baum are expected to support the affair. Miss Hedges could not be reached last night for a statement. It is thought, however, that the heads of houses group is in favor of retaining Open House, at least in some form for the freshmen. California Astronomer Has Bulletin Published E. Bower Gives Information on Planet Pluto BERKELEY, Oct. 5.—Using all available data concerning the planet Pluto which was added to the list of known solar bodies by observers at Lowell observatory, Arizona, last year, Ernest Clare Bower of the University of Cali fornia Lick observatory has just published a bulletin on its orbit, mass, and positions during the coming year, 1931-32. While some of the data so far accumulated would indicate that the planet Pluto might have eleven times the mass of the earth, Bower states, the most reasonable as sumption is that the mass will prove to be considerably less than that of the earth, perhaps seven tenths of the earth’s mass, per haps only one-tenth. Bower also offers corrections to the first orbit which was com puted for Pluto, and adds that still further corrections will have to be made when more data is avail able. The period of revolution of Pluto is set at approximately 248.43 years, or 248 times as long as the earth requires to go about the sun. Lombard Receieves High Rating in Economist Test Notification that he scored the highest rating of any entrant tak ing the examination has been re ceived by Frank Lombard, gradu ate assistant in economics, from the civil service commission.

Senior Class Will Plan New Aetivily at Meeting Inaugurating a new plan for a j senior class activity in the fall, j members of the senior class will meet in the first meeting of the term tonight, in Villard hall, at 7:15 o’clock, it was announced yesterday by Hobart Wilson, class president. W'ilson urges that all seniors at tend the meeting to discuss and p^Jan a proposed dance, for this will be the first time that the sen iors have given any social affair during the fall term. Several other topics will also be brought up at the meeting. Frosh Lids of This Year Are ' Similar to Those First Worn A stranger’s first impression might be that there is a conven tion of jockeys if he saw the hun dreds of fellows who strut about, the campus wearing the green caps with the long beaks. Better informed persons and those famil ial- with the traditions of Oregon know that they are only fresh men obeying a custom begun 28 years ago by another generation. Beginning with a class conflict with the sophomores as a result of the yearn of the freshman class for solidarity and distinction, the use of the green cap has become compulsory. A slight smile came across the face of Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, when he was asked what the first lids looked like. Dean Earl’s class, that of ’06, was the first to wear them. “It was similar to the one worn now ex cept that it had a white ’06 on the front,” he said. “The green lid was worn then for class dis tinction.” After a class rush with the sophomores in 1904 the freshman class obtained by unified force the privilege of donning the green. By 1910 it became compulsory and was enforced by the use of pad dles. For the class of '13, of which Karl W. Onthank, dean of the per sonnel bureau, was a member, the lid was similar to the one vised now except that the beak was smaller. "The freshmen kept cut ting the lid down from that time until some of them became no larger than a one-cent postage stamp," Dean Onthank said in de scribing the evolution of the smaller lid which was worn last year. Then someone ingeniously devised the scheme of sewing a comb in it so that it could be fas tened to the hair. This is the method which has been employed for the last two years except that the lid was originally manufac tured small. This year begins the revival of the old custom of the larger green lid. It is a reminder to freshmen that they are the lowest class of the University, but now another method is also used to achieve class distinction. The freshman today can be de tected not only by his headdress but by the type of pants which he wears. The tan “tin” pants which have apparently been unof ficially adopted by the freshmen (Continued on Page Three) Christian Council j Gathers to Talk Of Year’s Objects Religious Group Meets for Initial Discussion of New Topics The Student Christian council at its first meeting held last night at the Westminster house discussed the possibilities of sponsoring lec tures as a joint project of the dif ferent churches represented in the council. This move is within the purpose of the council, which was created last spring term when the faculty committee on religion admitted students to membership. R. B. Porter, new Y. M. C. A. secretary, was asked to give a series of lectures on India during the winter term. The possibility of circulating a petition in Eugene in favor of the disarmament conference to be held in Geneva next February, was taken up as a group undertaking. The executive committee, composed of Margaret Atwood, Helen Chaney, Rolla Reedy, Elaine Hickson, and Rev. J. M. Adams, will make ar rangements for the education of the people as to the purpose of the conference, and the circulation of the petition. These moves were within the purpose of the Student. Christian council as outlined when the group was organized spring term, 1931. The faculty committee on religion, in order to secure student reactions on religious problems, invited the student groups of the different churches to send representatives, and these form the council. The following churches are members of the group: Baptist, Catholic, Chris tian, Christian Science, Community Liberal (Unitarian), Congregation al, Episcopal, Latter Day Saints, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Margaret Atwood is president protempore, and Elaine Hickson is secretary. Each organization is represented by a student and either the pastor, or the student director of the group. Freshman Class Next Wednesday FRESHMAN meeting for the purpose ot nominating class officers for the coming year will l»e held Wednesday, according to an announcement made last night by Brian Mim naugh, A. S. U. O. president. He stated that the time and place had not yet been definite ly decided but that the full de tails will appear in Wednesday morning’s Emerald. At the present writing little is known concerning any poli tical lineups which have been formulating, but it is expected that these will come more to a head by tomorrow. Officers Alumni Magazine Will Carry Many Feature Articles President Hall Pietures Financial Situation To Graduates "The initial issue of the Old Oregon magazine is one of our best in the standpoint of fea tures,” states Jeannette Calkins, editor of the University alumni magazine, which is to be issued Thursday, October 8. One of the special feature arti cles is written by President Ar nold Bennett Hall concerning the present picture of the misplaced economy forced upon the higher educational institutions of Oregon. Many amazing statistical facts are revealed in this article. Another feature which this is sue carries is a photo section of the leaders of the alumni clubs in the cities in which the football team will travel this year. .This has been made possible through the success of the "Oregon Alumni clubs all over the world” cam paign which began last year. Arthur Schoeni, graduate of the class of '30 and former editor of the Emerald, has an article which he has named "Delving Into His tory for the All-Star, All-Time Oregon Team.” He has picked a team of the outstanding players of past Oregon football history and also has an interesting story to tell about each one. Other feature stories include “Those Nineties Again,” written by Herbert C. Thompson, an offi cial of the Red Cross at Washing ton, D. C., and one who is ranked as a past master at the art of reminiscing. The story concerns early life at the University and country around Eugene. David Wilson, member of the Pacific Basin debate team, gives an account of the team's encoun tering many former Oregon stu dents in their travels. There is also an article on internationalism at Oregon by Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the geology depart ment. The magazine will start the new school year off with a new cover design which is very attractive, the first issue being of blue and silver color arrangement. Alumna Elected Prexy Of Advertising Honorary An Oregon graduate, Ruth Street, '28, has been honored by election to the office of national president of Gamma Alpha Chi, women’s national advertising hon orary, at the national convention in Champagne, Illinois, according to word received here.

Her brother, Robert Street, is a freshman on the Ore gon campus. Hall to Speak To Freshmen On College Life Assembly Today Is First Of Two in Series President to Offer Topics On Intellectual Problems And the Student To enable the incoming fresh man to become better acquainted with college life, President Arnold Bennett Hall will address the class today at 11 A. M. in the Music auditorium on “Intellectual Prob lems and the Student." This is the first of a series of two assemblies, the second to be held at the same locale on Thurs day at 10 o’clock, when President Hall will speak on "Emotional Problems and the Student." These talks are a continuance fcnd broad ening development of the Presi dent’s discussion at the first as sembly on the proper balance of the student’s life and are intended to help the student orient himself during the first few weeks of school. The talks this year are shorter and closer together than in for mer years, because President Hall must clear them before taking up his work with the Oregon Mother’s tour early next week. All freshman classes at 11 will be dismissed and freshmen in other classes will be allowed to attend the gathering. This system ot addresses was in augurated by requests from the freshmen several years ago who desired to become better acquaint ed with the president and other notables on the campus. The plan originally was to have talks dur ing the whole of the first two terms, but this year, owing to other pressing business, the speeches were condensed into a fewer number of meetings. Ac cording to Karl W. Onthank, per sonnel dean, no other freshman as semblies have been scheduled as yet, although others may be added at a future date. President Hall gives as his rea sons for such gatherings, the desire to renew the associations made at other freshman affairs and to help the yearlings deal with issues that may confront them now or in the near future. It is impossible for him to keep in close contact with the students by the personal route, for, though his office door is al ways open, he is away so much that these assemblies afford his only opportunity to meet the fresh men. His first talk will touch on the application of academic knowl edge to the practical questions of life, and he will endeavor to show the students the proper use of the education acquired at the college. Polyphonic Choir Third Division Will be Formed Alen’s Music Group to Hold Tryouts at 5 Today Another music organization, new on the Oregon campus, will take life Thursday afternoon when the third division of the Univer sity polyphonic choir holds its first rehearsal. The third division, a chorus of carefully chosen men's voices, will be directed by Arthur Boardman, head of the voice department. They will do four- and eight-part songs of widely diverse types, ac cording to announcement made last night by George Barron, pres ident of the polyphonic choirs. Director Boardman will try out prospective singers today at 5 p. m. in his studio at the Music building. Membership will be lim ited to 20 or 25 voices, he said. An appropriate name for the group will be chosen soon, Barron said, and a tentative outline of public concerts is being drawn up. Dr. and Airs. A. B. Hall Fete Heads of Houses Repeating a custom which they started three years ago, President and Mrs. Arnold Bennett Hall en tertained the heads of houses and dormitories with a formal banquet last evening at the men's dormi tory. President Hall spoke to the guests, discussing the influence that presidents of living groups have upon the standards of stu dent life.
