MILLER CALCUTTA, India, Sept. 19.— (By air mail to the Emerald)— Three weeks of fast traveling 1 through India, three weeks of ex tremely hot weather, are over for the members of the University of Oregon Pacific Basin Debate Tour, Roger Alton Pfaff, David G. Wil son and the writer, as we sail to night on the S. S. Yuen Sang for Singapore and Hongkong, western bound on the return trip to Oregon. Our seven months’ tour is now ; half-over, and we will return to (mortgage our futures by paying j the winter-term registration fees. Since our last letter from Luck now, we have seen Indian student (life at its best, with visits to the universities of Allahabad, Benares, and Calcutta. The officers of the Student Union at Allahabad uni versity proved to be the most wide awake and efficient hosts we have had during our Indian tour. The 1928 visit of the Oregon Round the-World debate team to Allaha-j bad was still remembered, and they entertained us elaborately. A crowd of 2500 filled the university's biggest hall to hear the debate on disarmament, which ended in a < most unusual fashion, for the lead er of the Allahabad team turned his rebuttal into a short statement that his team would capitulate and give us the victory without decision by judges. Allahabad students engaged a taxi to drive us SO miles to Benares where we visited the burning ghats along the Ganges under a sun that was fully capable of consuming bodies without the aid of fire. An other large crowd heard our de bate with the team representing the Benares Hindu university, and the vice-chancellor of the Univer sity told us it was only the third time in the history of the school that the auditorium had been filled to capacity. i The Hindu university is almost free from supervision by the Brit ish government, with the result that it is a center for revolutionary agitation among student national ists. The team which opposed us packed their speeches on disarma ment with many statements about Indian independence that were startlingly radical. Calcutta university claims to be the second largest in the world. Its 25,000 students are excelled in numbers only by Columbia univer sity of New York City, to the best >f our knowledge. Calcutta weather is at its worst n September, but it takes more (Continued on Pu/je Three) Dale of Soph Informal Set at Class Meeting Neil Bush Is General Chairman Of Affair The Sophomore Informal will be held on Tuesday, November 10, the night before Armistice day. This was announced by A1 McKelligon, sophomore president, at a meeting of the class last night in Villard hall. Neil Bush was named gen eral chairman in charge of the dance. Individual committees, McKelli gon also stated, would be formed and announced in a few days. A proposed class budget, which ; was to be submitted to faculty | supervision today, was read by t Julius Rehal, class treasurer. If | approved, ftehal stated, it would i leave a balance of $387.63 in the 1 treasury. 1 Suggestions for a new sopho- < more activity were called for by i McKelligon, who stated that sev- t sral possibilities were at present oeing considered. He urged that s members of the class offer as i many ideas as possible. . 1 A request was made that an ex- t danation be given of a certain |I sum appropriated last spring to j c lelp pay the expenses of Bob j f rohnson and Don Lewis on a ten ds tour of the Northwest. Me- \ telligon said that this sum, $150, I lad been turned back into the li :lass treasury. I e Interest Waxes Hot as Frosli Balloting Nears Opening: of Polls Is Scheduled for Tomorrow at 9 With the polls slated to open at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning one more day of campaigning is left to freshman party leaders. Both [actions have been actively en gaged in going after the independ ent vote. As a result of the tense ness into which the struggle has developed, both Joe Kenner and Hdward Steib, rival presidential candidates, feel that with the dor mitories and the town students re spective party fates lie. The closeness of the contest is shown by the fact that both par ies list approximately the same lumber of houses as definitely be lind them. There are several louses split, however, and another lay may find these houses alter ng the balance in favor of one or he other party. Followers of Steib feel that their trengtli with the independent vote 3 fairly secure, pointing to Ed 'homas, independent candidate for reasurer running on their ticket, tenner’s associates feel equally as onfident, however, despite this act. A meeting of the Renner group fas held last night at the Gamma ’hi Beta house. Steib’s party fol iwers did not hold an official gath ring.
