Split into two factions, urged by would-be campus political bosses to vote "straight” tickets, the freshmen, we fear, may take their ballots in hand today and mark them blindly. Politics has put its stamp on the freshman class more heavily « this year than last, or in any year within our memory on the , campus, and we find the whole thing revolting. "Freshman class politics” the words mean that the yearlings have shown ambi ’ tion and spirit, yes, but their endeavors have been misdirected. The freshman class, unless it votes sanely at today’s election • - and that means for individuals and not for tickets, for ideals and not to receive supposedly promised jobs will find itself split, through the entire year when that class more than any other on - the campus should be a unified organization. We hope today’s election will see a split ticket go into office, a division of the spoils which is sure to work for the best in terests of the whole class. Sunday Twilight Music qpHIS morning’s Emerald carries a story of the instituting of half-hour organ recitals to be given by John Stark Evans, professor of organ in the school of music, on Sunday late after noons. The first recital will be given this coming Sunday, be ginning at 5 o'clock in the music auditorium. The Emerald welcomes this innovation and believes that it will be followed with considerable interest by the students of the University. Coming as they do in the late afternoon, the recitals will undoubtedly entice many students to stop into the music building after studying,and on the way to tea. The quieting and calming effect of any kind of good music, and particularly of organ music, is recognized by almost every one. That Oregon students will be able to spend a half hour on Sunday afternoons listening to organ music played by an accomplished musician is truly splendid. The weekly short re citals, we feel, will be a very distinct addition to the progress toward-greater appreciation of the beautiful which is a very real and necessary part of a university education. A word should be said in tribute to Mr. Evans. Long known in the University and the community for his unceasing efforts to increase the appreciation of good music, he has unselfishly consented to prepare these half-hour recitals for the enjoyment of the students and townspeople. Through the medium of The Emerald we thank him and the school of music in advance for the service whic h is being given in this form. WITH OTHER EDITORS NEW 1UKAS IN EDIT’ATfON The field of American education, especially during the years since the war, has provided more mate rial for the critical columns and lecture platforms of the world than almost any other institution of equal importance. No critic worthy of the name seems to have neglected any opportunity of at tempting to reform or to damn such systems as at present prevail in the United States, much ink has. been spilt and much animosity has been aroused in Ihe process, and all to little avail. Throughout all this, the Amer ican systems of instruction have continued serenely to develop in their own way, seemingly taking but little notice i f the weepings and ravings of those who would seek to perfect them. Occasion ally, some unusually progressive university in the United Stales will scandalize the more conserva tive elements among the educa tionists and again the old battle will be renewed. Nowadays, ac customed as we are to Bachelor ships of Hi tel Administration and other such novelties, something very unusual is neccs ary to iocu ; attention on any particular scat of American learning. The Northwestern University oi Evanston in Illinois i the latest offender from the point ol view of the reactionaries, and the lutes innovation there is startling, to say the least. A love clinic n to be est i ’i ! v.ith branches a> Evan-con and at Chicago, where. according to the Associated Press dispatch from Chicago, “couples contemplating marriage may take their troubles to the clinic and get a 'stop' or 'go' signal from the experts. Couples already married and wondering if they have made a mistake, will also be given ad vice.’’ Certainly an extremely brilliant idea in modern days, and one which .should prove very use ful and helpful in these divorce ridden times. Of course the point may well be argued that such work lies outside the normal work of a university, but the Americans arc building such systems as will meet their own needs and are by no means compelled to look to other countries for their models. Explanations have been advanced, of course, to account for the pres ent condition of education in the United States today, and that of Dr. George Parmalee, former di rector of Protestant education in Quebec, is worthy of note. He lias said, "The purpose of education in the United Stales lias never been defined. They consider that if they govern themselves, the pupils should govern the schools. The re nil is that about half the schools in the country simply scorn the idea of discipline and the pupil determines for himself the courses of study he w ishes to follow." McGill Daily. STUDENTS.

Dear Dad:— You can not imagine how sorry I am that the sheriff has been threatening to move you out of the old homestead, but really, dad, I can’t possibly send you more than $150.00 a week. I am only being paid $10.00 for each yard from scrimmage and the last game only netted me 80 yards. The coach has been threatening to reduce my wages, but I told him that Blank University would be glad to get me and would pay as much as $15.00 a yard. I had, at the start of the season, been able to make quite a bit from the passes since my share is $25.00 for every completed one. The coach, however, has decided to use a power type of playing from now on. This is only my junior year here and next year I should be good for about $20.00 a yard. I have re ceived several nice offers from oth er colleges.

I’ve been thinking this last over. Coming back to football, there is a new geezer here in the confer ence that is messing things up by investigating our summer employ ment.

Dear Lemon Palooka:— Damma Fly Beta, located on Spilyard street, by the mill pond, received me very well. Just like a bill collector. This leads me to be lieve that they have had a lot of experience with the gentry. The peculiar thing that I noticed about the Damma Fly’s is that they spend a lot of time lying on the sleeping porch and spying with a telescope in the windows of the fraternity across the race. This puzzles me greatly for, to my knowledge, there is no moon in the fraternity—nor any astral bodies of importance. I learned from other sources that they are in the habit of tele phoning across the race and de scribing accurately the color of bathrobes the boys wear, or over which shoulder they sling a towel. It is a puzzling thing. Damma Fly Beta, somewhat like the Spi Kaps, has a peculiar col lection of phonograph records. They are as follows: A nautical song—Love for Sail; a bill collectors song—Due, Due Duey Day; the Electric Power and Light Company song—Watt a Day; the Insecticide Corporation song Those Little White Lice; the song of Dr. I. B. A. Faker's beauty par lors—Three Little Warts; and the hermit song—I'm All Thru With Love. Whatever else of scandal there may be around the house is pretty well concealed. Yours respectfully, Little Irvin, Vigilance Committeeman. * * *• And there you are for the low down on the Dammu Fly Betas. To morrow Little Irvin will inspect the residence and morals of Melta Tau Melta, which is located on nineteenth and Tuniversity. M. Gomberg To Address Chemisfry Group Here Dr..Moses Gomberg, outstanding chemist of the country, will make an address here Thursday evening, October 22, according to announce ment by Dr. Leo Friedman of the chemistry department, who is sec retary of the Oregon Chemical so ciety. The scientist’s appearance will be sponsored by that society and the Oregon chapter of Sigma Xi, national science honorary or ganization. Dr. Gomberg, who is president of the American Chemical society and head of the chemistry depart ment at the University of Michi gan, is touring the United States, addressing groups interested in chemistry. Ke has received world wide attention for his work in chemistry, particularly for the dis covery of trivalent carbon, and is the holder of the Nichols medal, received in 1914, and the Willard Gibbs medal, in 1926. Librarian Enjoys Reference Work After Nine Years If a person holds the same posi tion for nine years, it seems very likely that he would grow tired of it. This, however, is not the case with Mrs. M. P. Watts, reference librarian at the old library. Since 1922, Mrs. Watts has held the same desk, but she does not think the work at all tiring. “With the regular routine of work, and new material always coming in, there is a great deal to do, and plenty to keep up one’s interest," she stated. Besides this, there are always a large number of calls from peo ple not connected with the Uni versity who want information on various topics, but Mrs. Watts does not object because she prefers her desk to any other position in the library. The questions asked are usually quite natural and commonplace, and they range from wanting il lustrated Mother Goose books to the price of food in China. Although the position of refer ence librarian is a hard one, Mrs. Watts manages to fill it very suc cessfully, and likes doing it. Tap Dancing... SPECIAL V. OF 0. CLASS MONDAY AT S P.

She lived in Spain for 10 years. “These deputies, who form a con siderable portion of the chamber, favor the seizure of all church property. Eecause of the strong opposition of these men to the pro gram of the cabinet, the provi sional president, Alcala Zamora, and the other members of the cab inet have resigned. "In recent years there have been so many political changes in va rious countries, that any new ex periment in government is of in terest to the general public. In Russia there has been a radical change, and in Spain it remains to be seen what the political outcome will be.’’ She explained that seven or eight years ago, King Alfonso had seen his grip was slipping and that he lacked str^igth in heading the government. So he appointed Primo de Rivera to be dictator and to rule the people in his own way, which was not following the con stitution of Spain. .Miss Thompson pointed out that King Alfonso’s abdication and de parture from the country had just recently been procured by a po- j litical party under the leadership of Zamora, and that just a few years before this the same party forced the resignation of the king's dictator, who died soon afterward. Zamora has been acting as provi sional president and had planned to do so until the next election. King Alfonso felt so sure of the people’s support that he said he would leave until the matter is submitted for election. “Spain has had no division be tween church and state,” she con tinued. “However, many Cath olics in Spain are reconciled and willing to have this division pro vided for in the new constitution of the liberals drawn up by Za mora and his followers. Zamora is a Catholic himself, but is in favor of the separation, as are other Catholics in his cabinet. The men in Zamora’s cabinet represent all political parties except extreme monarchists and communists, and are opposed to a monarchy and are in favor of a republic. “Before Spain can be an estab lished republic, the constitution these men have drawn up must be voted on favorably in congress. It is being acted upon now.” Russian Program To Be Presented Here October 19 Dr. John Mueller Will Talk On His Russian Trip Monday Evening For the first time on the Oregon campus, a “Russian Night" pro gram will be given in the Music auditorium on Monday evening, October 19, at 8:15, at which time Dr. John R. Mueller of the sociol ogy department will give his first lecture on his recent visit in Rus sia. Interpretation of the music mas terpieces of world-famed Russian composers will also be given by Mrs. Jane Thacher, and a Russian member of the International house, Michael Haimovich, junior in ar chitecture. In view of the growing interest and conflicting opinions regarding Soviet Russia’s policies, the mem bers of the International club, sponsors of the program, consider the University of Oregon particu larly fortunate to hear Dr. Muel ler’s report of his observations in Russia during his trip this summer. Speaking on the proposed pro gram, Professor H. S. Tuttle, one of the strongest advocates of in ternationalism, said, “The purpose of the International club is to in crease international understanding by every possible means; it is therefore fitting that the organiza tion should bring this instructive and entertaining program to the campus.” Tickets for the program are now on sale at the University Co-op. Student tickets are 25 cents each, and the patron’s tickets cost $1. 1 All seats are reserved and it is de sirable that reservations be made as early as possible.

Wesley Foundation To Present Skit Sunday A skit “Joe College Sees His Op portunities" will be presented at the 6:30 devotional meeting of the Wesley foundation Sunday.
