the conference, including the vol

entertain them for one evening,
and also the full benefit of Ore

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.

npHE last call for correct ad
dresses for the student di
rectory is being made by the
graduate manager’s office. The
“pigger’s guide” is going to
press this week-end, according
to Ronald H. Robnett, assistant
graduate manager.
There are still a few students
who have not turned in their
correct local address, and it is
the desire of this office to have
these corrected by today. Those
students who had not deter

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.

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.

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.

This afternoon the team will go
through a light signal practice on
the Washington stadium turf field.
Although Spears
refused to defi

Doubt that Merle Hufford, star

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

more than 40,000.

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

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.”

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.
