FIFA To Hold Confab Here Nov. 15,16,17 Many Noted Journalists To Discuss Problems Complete Program in Line For Twelve Members Of Association The date of the animal conven tion of the Pacific Intercollegiate Press association, which holds its i it.) l comerence on the Univer sity of Oregon: campus, has def-J initely been set] for November 15,| 16, and 17, on| which date Ore gon's homecom ing will also be observed. Many n o t e dj j o u rnalists, in-' eluding the in Vinton Hall ternationany Known wnnam Kan dolph Hearst, will, if possible, be secured for speakers at the con ference. A complete program, in cluding much entertainment, will be in store for the delegates to the conference, including the vol unteering of a leading sorority to entertain them for one evening, and also the full benefit of Ore gon’s homecoming spirit and the homecoming game. Hall Makes Statement “We hope that this conference will be one, if not the best, of the confabs in the history of P. I. P. A.,” states Vinton Hall, president of the association and former edi tor of the Emerald. Mr. Hall pointed out that “the contact amongst the leaders of the various college publications which is afforded at these annual con ferences of .the P. I. P. A. lends much valuable assistance to the delegates which in turn is passed by them to the staff members of their particular publication.” Oregon Men Officials The conference which was held on the U. C. L. A. campus last year was declared a glowing suc cess to the association. Vinton Hall and Tony Peterson, editor and manager of the Emerald last year, were selected as president (and vice-president of the associa tion at that time. The purpose of these annual meetings is to exchange ideas con cerning newspaper systems and management in the college field; to discuss problems which arise before the editors and business managers; and to adopt resolu tions in body that programs of the individual publications may be more successfully carried out. And this all tends to create a spirit of cooperation among the 12 mem bers. The association, besides giving protection to its members, pro vides a news service which car ries campus news material to va rious other campuses in the Pa cific states. This brings the va rious colleges and universities in these states in a much closer re lation, as it keeps them in touch with the outstanding achieve ments cf each school. The 12 members which will be ( (Continued on Page Three) r Last Call Comes From Robinettfor Local Addresses npHE last call for correct ad dresses for the student di rectory is being made by the graduate manager’s office.

FacultyToMeeton Golf Links Friendships End; War Opens Internal strife is about to rend asunder the faculty, personal con flicts will soon be the order of the day. The opening of a faculty golf tournament was announced yester day afternoon by Robert Seashore, assistant professor of psychology. It is rumored that a moratorium is to be declared on all personal friendships between golf-playing members of the faculty. Roger Williams, winner of the spring tournament, and Harry Yocom, victor of the summer match, are both back in the field y again with blood in their eyes and a do-or-die vow on their lips.— Ambitious contenders beware! Those desirous of entering the tournament may do so by playing 27 holes at Laurelwood, some time before October 30. Qualifying scores are to be left with Mr. Pet ers at the golf course. Two teams, captained by Donald Erb, professor of economics, and Howard Taylor, associate profes sor of psychology, will be chosen from those completing the qualify ing round. The players will be arranged in the order of their scores. The tournament will be played off in foursomes with match play. It will be so arranged that each man will have an opponent of equal ability. New players are especially invited to compete, as under this system their inexperi ence will not place them at a dis advantage. All graduate and re search assistants are eligible to compete. The final round, of 18 holes, will be completed during the first week in November. Prizes for the win ning team will be announced after the two teams have been selected. Further information may be ob tained from Robert Seashore of the psychology department. Houses Favor ‘Bunion Derby’ InCampusPoll 3 Organizations Alone Cast Negative Votes Get-acquainted Party Set For October 17 on Social Calendar Open House will be held Satur day, October 17. This was the decision of fraternities, sororities, men's and women’s dormitories, and independent groups on the campus yesterday as a landslide | of votes in favor of the annual social event were filed in the dean of women’s office. Only two fraternities. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Beta Theta Pi, and one sorority, Beta Phi Alpha, | voted against Open House. The S. A. E. vote registered 31 to 12, ' the Beta poll 28 to 28, and the Beta Phi Alpha tally 9 to 5 for non-participation in the affair. Many houses and halls cast unanimous ballots in favor of Open House, and those students voting against it were in the main seniors and juniors. Freshman classes in most instances voted unanimously for the get-acquaint ed party. The poll of student sentiment on the feasibility of holding Open House was started Wednesday fol lowing the inability of a special committee of eight campus lead ers to reach a decision. With opinion equally divided among the arbiters, final say in the contro versy was left to the campus at large. The annual “bunion derby” be came a topic of heated discussion the first of this term following two sessions of the interfraternity council at which the custom was voted down. Heads of sorority ! houses took a favorable attitude, i Backed by the Emerald, Mrs. i Hazel Prutsman Schwering, dean ! of women, called the student com mittee meetinp Tuesday. The fa vorable all-campus vote on Open House resulted. Student Has Little Liking for Work Chasing Rattlers Tussling with a four-foot rattle snake is just one of the experi ences encountered by Norris Por ter, sophomore in pre-law, in his I work this summer on the Long Beach Snake farm ,in northern Arizona. Porter and his partner, one “Awscar” Green, were detailed the pleasant task of bringing in the live rattlers for the purpose of securing the serum. “My first try at snake catching ended in near disaster.” And then with a broad grin. “It was my duty to hold the burlap sack while the snake was dropped in. Our first victim was encountered after sev eral hours riding, and temporarily confined by bringing a forked stick down on its neck. “Next a wire noose was slipped over its head and tightened around the ‘gills.’ Then came the risky process of lowering the reptile in to the sack. “To my evident discomfort, the snake in its gropings got a tail hold on my wrist,” he continued, “and at that precise moment the wire loop slipped off. With a yell that would have scared an Apache, I swung my arm plus the startled snake around until either fright or dizziness made it loosen its hold.” Leaving the spot as fast as pos 1 sible, Porter concluded that that was one snake he had no desire to capture. The reptile was evidently of the same mind for, though his partner hunted high and . low through the sagebrush and mes quite, no signs of their would-be victim evidenced themselves. Porter continued his work on the snake farm for a few weeks but the scare of that first encoun ter was too much for his nerves, so he eventually packed up and turned his footsteps north again.

Team Leaves For Conflict With Huskies Crowd Cheers Players When They Entrain Coaeli Spears Takes Squad Of Thirty-two Men To Seattle Cheered by a large crowd of Oregon rooters, Doc Spears and the University of Oregon football WILCOX squad lett Ku gene last night, : ready to meet ; the University of ! Washington to ; m orro w after | noon. Thirty-two players, Bill I Hayward, Jack Dant, student manager, and as Husky Back field sistant c o a c lies Coach and trainers were included in the traveling squad. A light workout yesterday aft ernoon lasted until it was time for the squad to leave for the train. Clad in their new green jerseys they staged a final drill on a pass defense against the freshmen. Confidence that they would give the Huskies a run for their money in Seattle ran through the team. Rumors and hearsay about the ineligibility of Lillard had a desired effect on the play ers, much to Doc Spears' pleasure. Hufford To Play This afternoon the team will go through a light signal practice on the Washington stadium turf field. Although Spears refused to defi nitely name his starting line-up it will probably include Moeller P o z z o, Temple' and Gee in the backfield; Forsta at center; Schulz and Wilson, guards; Morgan and Nilsson, tackles: and LA MONT Husky Hue Coach Bailey and Bowerman, ends. Doubt that Merle Hufford, star halfback of the Washington out fit, would be on the sidelines Sat urday was dispelled by reports from Seattle which stated that Hufford was in fine condition and was ready to start against the Ducks. Rumors about Hufford are usually forthcoming from the Washington campus about this time of year. First Conference Flay Tomorrow’s game will be the first real test of conference com petition for both teams. Neither eleven has been forced to open up in previous games, but both Phe lan and Spears have been drilling hard for this game and v/ill un doubtedly “shoot the works.” The Huskies will have an added incen tive, for they have been taken three times in a row by the Web feet. In fact, they have failed to cross the Oregon goal-line in that time. A large section of seats has been reserved for the Oregon root ing section, it is announced. At least 1C00 Oregon students are ex pected to be on hand. Washing ton officials anticipate a crowd of more than 40,000.

Wash ington authorities have inform ed the graduate manager’s of fice that they must have abso lute information today as to what space the Oregon rooting section will take up.

Dr. Hall Finishes Address Series To Class of 1935 Speech Given Yesterday in Sehool of Music Auditorium Stressing: the aesthetic appreci ation of the practical in life, Pres ident Arnold Bennett Hall con cluded the series of talks before the freshman class yesterday at 1( o’clock in the school of music audi torium. Dr. Hall, who was introduced bj Karl W. Onthank, dean of person nel, touched on the weakness of the present educational system along this line. “You are normally gov erned 95 per cent of the time bj your emotions," declared the presi dent, “yet in courses offered bj the higher educational institution; of the country, 95 per cent of thi the country, 95 per cent of th< time is devoted to purely intellec tual pursuits, while but 5 per cen is turned over to the emotiona interests.” Appreciation of the beauty o nature that can raise the norma person in a feeling of grandeur t< a little higher understanding o life was expressed in Dr. Hall’; talk. Religion and the omnipresen sex also were emphasized in th blueprint of the student’s life. The president concluded by ex horting the freshmen always ti pick the romance and adventur out of life and elevate it abov< the sordid and tawdry details. This is the last of the president’ addresses to the freshmen thi term and is the final chance fo the president to become acquaintei with the freshmen as a body. A the other feature of the program John Stark Evans, professor of th organ, gave several selections a the opening of the hour. I f Ineligibility Talk Facies; No Protest Made ‘Midnight Express’ Said to Have Played Semi-pro Baseball in East By BRUCE HAMBY Joe Lillard, Oregon backfield ace, is eligible and will play to morrow against the University of Washington. This was decided late Prof. Howe yesteraay atter noon at a special meeting of the faculty athletic committee after word had been sent to all coast conference repre sentatives de claring him tem porariry ineligible for the game. Inasmuch as no formal protest nas oeen mea ana tne committee decided that such reports that had been laid before them were not j sufficient to bar him from the Husky tilt, telegrams were sent to all faculty representatives in the Coast conference reversing the message sent earlier in the day. Butler Confers With Howe Yesterday morning, Jonathan Butler, newly-appointed commis sioner of the conference, arrived and met wtih Professor H. C. Howe, Oregon’s faculty representa tive, giving him results of an in vestigation made on Lillard. Just where these reports came from and who made them is a complete mystery, although Butler is sup posed to have made them himself. Butler left after a short visit, go ing on north to Corvallis. At the committee meeting, it was revealed that the charges were based on Lillard’s participation in semi-professional baseball. A gen tlemen’s agreement in the North west has made it possible for col lege athletes to play semi-pro fessionally without endangering their amateur standing in the conference. The Oregon committee i decided that there were not suf ficient grounds and cleared up all rumor and newspaper reports made earlier. Howe Issues Statement [ Professor Howe issued the fol lowing statement following the ’ meeting: “Lillard was protested I on the grounds that he had played i semi-professional baseball in the : middle west with the Gilkerson’s i Colored Giants. Lillard does not . deny this. Before any player can ; be declared ineligible for a game, a formal protest must be filed at ■ least seven days ahead, and should > he later be found ineligible for ■: conference competition, this fact : would not have any effect on the I outcome of any games in which ) he may have played.” i Spears Indignant • Coach Spears was somewhat in 1 dignant when he heard of the af i! fair, “dt was my opinion,’’ |he , said, “that Butler was hired by : the conference as a special inves t tigator and his reports were to be (Continued on Page Three) 1 Emilienne Roach Presents Brilliant and Varied Concert From Haydn oratorio through Brahms lyric, Mozart opera, and French love songs to Russian mis cellany was the series of vocal leaps capably taken last night by Emilienne Roach, soprano, in her concert at the music building at 8 p. m. Mrs. Roach emphasized the lega to quality of the air from Haydn’s “Creation," “With Verdure Clad,” and the two Brahms songs; one calm, the other swift and clear. A Strauss song showed interesting contrast of soft with powerful passages. The high point of the German group was “Schoene Nacht,” by Rinkins, which startled by its modern flavor. It had a quiet, foreboding cadence reminis cent of “Pelleas and Melisande.” Mozart’s three little airs from “Don Giovanni” sparkled and sang alternately. Mrs. Roach’s slower phrases were well held, and in one were contrasted with runs like quick bursts of laughter. The French group began with Debussy—a romance full of that unique loneliness of his, and the bright “Mandoline” — to each of which Mrs. Roach gave its own peculiar quality. Strong and dra matic was a song by Duparc, and the last two numbers—both flirta tious-bore out the saying that “the French are gay people, fond of dancing and light wines.” The last group, Russian num bers, required in turn pure sus tained tone, rapid enunciation, ex pressiveness, and sheer force and energy. Mrs. Roach was brilliantly ac companied throughout by Aurora Potter Underwood.
