Real'Hard Times’ in Europe
Not America, Says Schmidt
Dr. F. G. G. Schmidt, head of
the department of German, who
has just returned from an extend
ed tour of the European countries,
said yesterday that the American
people do not know how well off
they are, economically and politi
cally. During his trip this sum
mer Dr. Schmidt made a study of
these conditions abroad as com
pared with those of America.
“Germany appears to be pros
perous, but that is only on the
surface," he said. “The only coun
tries which are really well off are
Scandinavia, Denmark, Czecho-Slo
vakia, and France.” The reason
for Germany's deplorable condi
tion centers around the vain ef
forts to pay the war debt, he went
on to say. “Even France admits
that Germany would have to be
the wealthiest country in the
world to pay off the tremendous
bill."
In order to meet payment on its
debt, Germany is taxing every
thing that is taxable and even
things which are not taxable. “If
you want a cup of coffee and go
into a restaurant for it, you pay
the price of the coffee plus a gov
ernment tax,” Dr. Schmidt re
marked. He went on to say that
even the servant girls are taxed,
no one knows exactly for what.
A high school teacher gets what
would in our money amount to
about $50 a month, and on that
she has to pay a tax of $14. The
taxes on automobiles are so great
that only the very richest people
can afford cars. Speaking about
the automobile situation, Dr.
Schmidt said that even though
Germany has no prohibition, there
are not half as many accidents
there as we have in the United
States.
Too many political parties is
another reason for Germany's
troubles, Dr. Schmidt believes.

“This committee was chosen
after a careful consideration of
the work to be done and the can

nouncing his appointments. “The
load on the committee this year is
greater than it has ever been be
fore, and I have been particularly
desirous of securing capable and
dependable workers. Arrange
ments must be complete in every
detail for the entertainment of
our Oregon Dads.”
The little “big game” of the
year between the Oregon freshmen
and the Oregon State Rooks will
provide the football atmosphere
for the week-end celebration. With
many outstanding prep school
stars on both freshmen teams, this
game is expected to hold as much
interest as any of the varsity
games.
Awards Planned
With Dad’s day only two weeks
in the offing, Jette especially
urges that all students write home
at once sending invitations to their
fathers. As in previous years,
awards will be given to the living
organizations having the greatest
number of Dads present. Further
announcement as to the awards
will be made at a later date, Jette !
said.
In addition to the special fea
tures being planned for the Dads
at the respective living organiza
tions, there will be a banquet for '
the guest fathers on Saturday, 1
October 24. The banquet will start '
in plenty of time to permit attend- '
ing the football game immediately
afterward. Although plans are not
yet definite, the banquet is tenta
tively set for McArthur court.

Onthank Directs
Attention to Fire
Prevention Week
The need for observance of Fire
Prevention Week, October 4-11, on
the campus was brought to at
tention yesterday by Karl W. On
thank, dean of the personnel ad
ministration.
“It seems advisable at this
time,” Mr. Onthank said, “since
there are so many new students,
that they should become familiar
with alarms, fire-fighting appa
ratus, and exits.” Fire drills were
suggested by Mr. Onthank as a
means of acquainting the new stu
dent with these things.
Special attention was called to
trash in the basement and the pil
ing of wood too close to the fur
nace as causes of fires. House
officers were advised to carry out
the recommendations which were
made at the time of the fire in
spection during spring term.
“The greatest danger is that
someone in a far corner room does
not hear the alarm or someone
doesn’t wake up,” Mr. Onthank
said. “This is the reason that each
organization should have fire
drills. At some time the housing
committee may make a visit of
the houses to see how quickly they
can be vacated.”
Spanish Club Will Hold
First Meeting Monday
La Corrida de Todos, campus
Spanish club, will hold its first
meeting of the year next Monday
evening in the Westminster nouse
at 7:30 P. M., according to Bob
Wilson, president of the club.
The date of the meeting is
Columbus day in the United States,
but in Spanish speaking countries
it is called “El Dia de la Raza,”
or the Day of the Race. This is
a red letter day in the Spanish
calendar, and is celebrated in the
schools and by the people.
All new students in Spanish are
cordially invited by the president
of the club to attend.

Dominion Status Will Satisfy
Indian People9 Says Mondol
Country's Problems Dnr to
Religions Reliefs and
Lack of Education
Dominion status for India will
satisfy virtually every Indian and
will put the country on an econ
omic equality with the rest of the
j world, allowing free competition of
[capital and production instead of
| the present situation in which
|England has the control. This is
[the opinion of H. K. Mondol, a
[native of India, who led a discus
sion in the “Y" Hut Wednesday
'afternoon at -1 o'clock, Mr. Mondol
is touring Oregon and Washing
ton under the auspices of the
Methodist church and was brought
to the campus by the University
,Y. M. C. A.
“Five shillings out of every
pound of the Englishman's money
jcome from investment and trade
with India," Mr. Mondol said in
answering a question as to the
value of India to England. India
has tremendous natural resources
in tea, rubber, oil, cotton, and jute.
It could, if necessary, supply the
world’s present needs in these pro
ducts, according to the speaker.
“India is indeed the fairest jewel
in England’s crown.”
The London conference on India

President Hall to
Deliver Address
Before Freshmen
Speech Will be Given in
Music Auditorium Today
At 10 P. M.
With an eye to the application
of an aesthetic viewpoint to the
everyday world, President Arnold
Bennett Hall will deliver the sec
ond of his talks to the freshmen
this morning at 10 o’clock at the
school of music auditorium. The
title of the president’s discussion
will be “Emotional Problems and
the Student.” He will stress the
development of the student’s artis
tic and appreciative ideas, paral
leling the more prosaic object of
gaining a livelihood.
Dr. Hall is noted nationally
along the lines of harmonious
union of the intellectual and emo
tional minds in education; in fact,
it was he who was instrumental
in procuring the Carnegie appro
priation for research in this field.
The president will also round out
the contacts made in the former
addresses before the freshman
class.
All freshman classes at 10 will
be dismissed and every frosh is
expected to attend. A large gath
ering was present at the talk
Tuesday, and an equally good at
tendance is expected today.
The speech will be strictly in
formal in order that Dr. Hall may
approach the freshmen on more
intimate ground. This will be the
last scheduled freshman assembly
of the term, and also President
Hall’s last chance to greet the
freshman class as a body.
Karl W. Onthank, dean of the
personnel bureau, is in charge of
the arrangements.

largely because of the British cab
inet difficulties. Ghandi is the only
representative for India at this
round table. This is the greatest
tribute of confidence and the
greatest responsibility placed flpon
any one man's shoulders in history,
thinks Mr. Mondol.
Ghandi has the support of nearly
i every one in India, because of his
democracy and character in mix
ing with the poor classes and be
cause he gave up his position as a
successful lawyer to devote his
life to the cause of his people.
"Those who are not backing
Ghandi are not backing him be

Most of India’s problems are
due to religion the wrong kind of
religion, in Mr. Mondol's opinion.

ing of the products of animals,
such as flesh, eggs and milk, the
poverty of India would be greatly
reduced.
The caste system has broken

Shooting Honors
Emerald F. Sloan, national indi

is very well remembered at the
military barracks here.
This summer at Camp Perry,
Ohio, Lieutenant Sloan competed
in a field of 1,700 entries including
the best shots in the country, and
carried off high honors. His shoot
ing has drawn comment in press
circles of this country and of
Europe where interest is high in
the approaching international
matches.
The three officers at the Oregon
R. O. T. C. department who re
member Lieutenant Sloan are
Major Barker, Sergeant Conyers,
and Sergeant Agule. Sloan was
graduated with honors from the
military department after an ac
tive college course during which
he was regarded as the best shot
in the rifle squad here. He re
ceived a great amount of his basic
military training at Oregon, ac
cording to Major Barker, which
gave him a commission to the
drmy in 1923.
Often Visits Campus
Lieutenant Sloan is a member of
Scabbard and Blade, military hon

McMullen Chosen
Head of Congress
Club at First Meet
Social ism as Depression
Remedy Discussed
By Group
Roy McMullen, sophomore in
business administration, was elect
ed president of the Congress club
last night in a meeting over the
College Side.
Other officers elected were Otto
Vonderheit, vice-president; Donald
Saunders, secretary; and George
Bennett, sergeant-at-arms.
“Is Socialism a Remedy for the
Present Economic Depression?’’
was the evening’s topic. Rolla
Reedy, junior in education, pre
sented the affirmative side of the
case, while Ethan Newman, junior
in economics, gave the negative
arguments. The members of the
club seemed to show a slight pre
ference for the principles qt
socialism in that they offer a con
trol of production and elimination
of “blind competition.’’ This was
regarded as necessary in stabiliz
ing business and preventing the
recurrence of such deep depres
sions as the present one.
Walter Hempstead, instructor in
speech, gave some observations
and suggestions.
“Communism" will be the next
subject discussed. Donald Saund

Be Scheduled Promptly
Schedule social functions early
is the advice to campus living or
ganizations by the dean of wom
en’s office. Since only five dates
are open for dances this term,
houses should sign up immediately
to obtain the evening they wish.
This year a new policy regard
ing dance petitions will be put into
effect. No petitions will be grant
ed unless an appropriate list of
chaperons is submitted. At least
three couples, two of University
connection, must attend. An offi
cial list in the office of the dean,
containing a list of persons avail
able, may be consulted for sugges
tions.
Petitions must be filed with the
dean of women a week before a
dance or the affair will be can

Deck Laid for
Rally at Depot;
Dance at Igloo
Team Will Entrain for
North at 6:30
Dance at Igloo Will Climax
Rallying at Eugene
Before the Game
Oregon students have two
chances tonight to redeem their
standards of rallying, at the down
town depot at 6:30 when the Var
sity team entrains for Seattle, and
again at 7:30 when the first rally
dance of the season will be held at
McArthur court, declared Carson
Mathews, head of the Oregon
Hally committee.
Houses can use their own discre
tion in the matter of serving early
dinners, but are urged to turn out
in full force at the Southern Paci
fic depot at 6:30 when the band
will be out on exhibition and the
team will board the train for
Washington. Students can “grab a
piece of pie in one hand and run,”
but everyone is asked to appear
tonight to give the team a rousing
send-off.
Dance at 7:30
The rally dance will be held at
the Igloo at 7:30 and will last un
til 9 o’clock. Most houses are post
poning study-table, so that fresh
men, who are required to attend,
can be at the dance as well as
upper-classmen.
The music will come from an
eight-piece orchestra which is
composed of some members of
Johnny Robinson’s Varsity Vaga
bonds and of other well known
campus orchestras.
Nominal Charge
A nominal charge of ten cents
per person will be made to defray
the expenses of the dance. Any
profits resulting from the charge
will be used for future rallying.
Admittance can be gained only at
the main entrance on the west
side.
“Oregon students can show their
preference for either rallies and
rally dances or just rallies alone
by the size of the attendance to
night,” said Mathews. “If this
first dance is successful it will be
followed by others, otherwise not.”
Station rallying and the direct
ing of the crowds in the Igloo will
be under the supervision of the
rally committee. This committee
of 14, headed by Mathews, is com
posed of: Hal Short, Jack Wood,
Ethan Newman, Gordon Day,
Hugh Chapman, Ferd Fletcher,
Marge Swafford, Marguerite Tar

Debaters Meet Ranga Iyer,
India Nationalist Leader
It was one of those hot, sticky
nights in southern India, that the
University of Oregon Pacific basin
debate team, on their way from
Colombo to Madras, had the pleas
ure of meeting G. S. Ranga Iyer,
present deputy leader of the Na
tionalist party in the Indian legis
lative assembly, and author ol
"Father India,” the book which
turned the tables on Katheryr
Mayo’s “Mother India.”
Ranga Iyer, with Ghandi anc
Nehru, the present leader of tht
Indian National congress, went t(

Robert Miller, one of the Oregor
debaters, described the meeting.
Leader Is Modern
“It chanced that a young Amer

was on the train and he informec
us, during a stop, that Mr. lyei
was two coaches back. We dashec
back, expecting to meet one ol
those saintly-looking individual:
which, to moSt Americans, charac

friovement.
“But, we were introduced to a
short worldly-looking gentleman
with a bacchanalian stomach which
he attained to French 'bad beer
and good wine.’ Contrary to the
Nationalist scheme, his dress was
European. His tastes were not

thusiasm the ‘Folies Bergere’ as
‘the most exquisite piece of art’ he
had ever seen.
“It was this later statement
that caused a stolid and patriar

compartment to break in od the
conversation.

is not prepared for independence.’
