N VOLUME XXXIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 24. 1931 NUMBER 18 frosh Ready For OSC Rook Threat Tonight Callison Has Squad in Trim for Struggle Dads To See Closely Fought ^ Clash With Orange Rooks Ami U. of O. Freshmen BULLETIN Some doubt as to whether Ar nold Heikenen, star of the Ore gon State Rook backfield, would play tonight existed as reports from Corvallis stated that the big, blond triple-threat man had been protested and wras being ruled on by Professor Owens, president of the Coast confer ence. Reasons for the doubt as to his ineligibility came after it had been found that he had reg istered at Oregon State in March, 1930, and therefore was eligible for freshman football only until March, 1931, under the 12 month rule of the conference. This rule states that a man may participate in freshman sports only one calendar year from the time of his registration. Prof. H. C. Howe, Oregon’s faculty representative, stated L that he knew nothing of the case outside of the fact that the names of Heikenen and Walter Falen, a guard, had been taken off the eligibility lists on receipt of word from Oregon State. Both players are regulars. By GEORGE LINN Mud and cleats will fly cn Hay ward field tonight as Coach Prink Callison and Vern Eilers send rink Callifcon tneir proteges or the gridiron foi the first of the annual civil wai series. The con test will begin at 8:30. Both squads are in trim for tonight’s test and are waiting ea g e r 1 y for the com bat. Eilers has drilled his team long and hard during the past week and has every man in readiness. Only one player, 'Brande, plunging fullback, is laid up with injuries and he will probably see action. With the ex ception of Art Clarkson, triple threat halfback, who has been ab sent from practice with a leg in jury, the Frosh are in first-class fighting condition. It appears that the big assign ment of the Frosh linemen will be to stop the two big ground gain ers of the Rooks, Arnold Heik enen and Norm Franklin. These men have carried the brunt of the Rook attack in previous games, and will be watched closely by Cal lison’s squad. Present weather conditions point to a muddy field tonight and, in such case, the game may turn out (Continued on Page Three) Ballantyne, Ely Chosen As Emerald Society Heads Experienced Women Will Fill Out Upper News Staff Additions to the Emerald upper division editorial staff were made yesterday by the appointment of Lenore Ely and Eleanor Jane Bal lantyne as joint society editors by Willis Duniway, editor.

Hall, Mimnaugh Welcome Oregon Dads to Campus Parents Are Greeted Willi Message Touching on College Life Welcoming the Oregon Dads tc the campus for the week-end anc offering the cordial hospitality oi the University, President Arnold Bennett Hall, and Brian Mim naugh, president of the associated students, issued the following statements: To the Oregon Dads: On behalf of the students, the faculty, and the administration of the University of Oregon, I de sire to welcome to the University, the dads of Oregon students. Dad’s Day has become a definite institution upon the Oregon cam pus because it meets a real need on the part of the students, the dads and the University. Experi ence shows that quite frequently a new basis for companionship be tween parent and child is estab lished as the lonely student wel comes with affectionate anticipa tion the visit of the parent. Com radeship between parent and stu dtent is an essential element in the program of the University to keep the home fires burning and to draw upon the best there is in the homes of Oregon to enrich the spiritual and intellectual currents of life upon the campus. Understanding Fostered Again experience has shown that these events bring about a mutual understanding between the parents and the University in their common concern to serve more adequately and more richly the students entrusted to the care of the University. It is only as the parents understand the program of the University that they may cooperate more intelligently, and it is only as the institution under stands the point of view of the parents that it can make the full est possible adaptation to the in dividual needs of different stu dents. Jb many, the parents come in contact with the real problems of campus life, with all its joys and perplexities, with all its opportuni ties and difficulties. With this un derstanding the parents can con tribute more sympathetically and constructively to the wise counsel of the students and to the efforts of the University administration. The University feels that the dads cannot afford to neglect the joy of intellectual and spiritual companionship with their children which this day provides and it is in this spirit that the University (Continued on Page Three) Luncheon To Be Given By Scabbard and Blade Scabbard and Blade, national military honorary, will hold a luncheon at the Anchorage next Tuesday noon, October 27, to cele brate National Scabbard and Blade day. On this day 78 chap ters on 46 different campuses hold a luncheon to celebrate the found ing of the society, according to John Painton, who is in charge of the luncheon. All members are expected to at tend and any alumni in or around Eugene are requested to attend if possible. A man who is well known for his work in Scabbard and Blade will be secured as speaker, Painton reported. 'Fool And Money Etc.' True* Campus Galahads Discover J Chivalrous Boys Rtie Lucre Entrusted to Wily Femme Agents The old adage of “a fool and his money are soon parted" is only f too true, campus males realized yesterday. j Fourteen young women, solicit ; ing magazine subscriptions under j the name of the “National Circu lating Company,” canvassed fra ternity houses shortly before noon and during the afternoon Thursday and through alleged misrepresen tation of the subscription contracts succeeded in selling more than 100 orders before evening. Here's how the supposed “old army game” worked this time: Three girls, working in the frater nity district gained entrance to houses by asking for certain mem bers by name at the door. Then, I starting their sales talk on the man answering the door, and using y some feminine appeal along with it, they had the boy's name on the contract and his money for some magazine in a few minutes. “It was just a case of the girls getting the jump and talking fast er than we could,” was the com ment of several men on the cam pus. “We didn't read our con tracts until after the girls had gone, and then found out that to get the magazines we would have to remit more money to the com pany. That was not the way the plan was represented." Eugene Vavra, leading the Na tional Circulating Company’s Civ ic Educational Contest Tour, as the selling group is called, had little to say about the matter. Men on the campus should have read their subscription contracts before buy ing, it was pointed out. Warnings to the campus against the solicitors went out from the of fice of Virgil D. Earl, the dean of men, and Brian Mimaugh, presi dent of the associated Students. Campus Groups Join To Discuss Anti-War Project Christian Council Heads Talk on International Peace Efforts A movement for the general edu cation of students and citizens of Eugene, and to further general public opinion and interest in the coming international disarmament conference at Geneva in February, 1932 has been undertaken by a group of student organizations on the campus. The movement was originally started by the Student Christian council, but was enlarged to in clude representatives from the Christian churches, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., International Rela tions club, Cosmopolitan club, and Philomelete. An executive com mittee was appointed from this group to handle the arrangements for the program. The committee consists of Margaret Atwood, Mary Klemm, Rolla Reedy, Helen Bin ford, and John Yerkovich. Project Unique According to reports, this is the only community in the United States to conduct such a project. Frederick K. Libby, member of the National Council for the Preven tion of War, while on a recent visit here said that the eyes of the na tion would be upon this community in being the first to attempt such an enterprise, and that the success of the program would encourage others to attempt similar projects. Several national organizations have sanctioned the movement, among them the National Council for Prevention of War, Internation al Rotary clubs, International Chambers of Commerce, the Na tional Organization of Business and Professional Women, the National Organization of Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., and the Federal Coun Part of Armistice Week This project is being undertaken in Eugene in connection with the national Armistice week program. Further plans for organization will be annonunced next week, and a meeting of representatives will be held Thursday night. Clark To Testify in Civil Case; U. S. Versus Oregon History Head Will Go to Burns For Legal Question To testify as an expert, Dr. R. C. Clark, head of the history de partment of the University, has been summoned by the U. S. su preme court to appear at Burns this coming Wednesday, October 28, in connection with a civil case between the United States and the state of Oregon. The federal government filed a suit against the state regarding Lake Malheur bird reservation in Harney county. Final decision on the case, Dr. Clark said, will de cide under whose jurisdiction the reservation should be. Dr. Clark will testify about the history of Lake Malheur and other experts will give testimonies as to its navigability. These will’ be the basis of whatever decision the United States supreme court will hand down. Evans To Appear Again in Sunday Organ Program I - Large Crowd Is Expected At Campus Musicians’ Weekly Recital ■ ■ | The second Twilight organ re i cital, sponsored by a number of prominent Eugene townspeople, . j members of the faculty, and stu j dents, will be played tomorrow af j ternoon at 5 p. m. in the Music j building auditorium by John Stark ; Evans, University organist. Last j week’s recital drew a capacity au t dience, and it is expected that there will be an equal attendance this Sunday, since many Oregon Dads will be on the campus. Additional" seating arrangements will be made. Tomorrow’s program includes music by Guilmant, Debussy, Yon, and Cesar Franck. In memory of Prince L. Camp bell, Mr. Evans will play Guil mant's “Lamentation.” “Marche Religieuse” by the same composer will be the second number. It is based on a familiar theme of G. F. Handel, composer of “The Mes siah,” and is written in symphonic style for the organ. “Clair de Lune,” modernistic French composition by Debussy, and “The Primitive Organ,” by Pietro Yon, organist at St. Pat rick’s cathedral in New York City, will follow.' There is much musical humor in “The Primitive Organ.” The climax of the half-hour pro gram will be Cesar Franck’s “Piece Heroique.” Franck, a Belgian or ganist now regarded as the fore runner of the modern trend in mu sic, wrote many works in the no ble style, and “Piece Heroique” is one of the finest. The Guilmant “Lamentation,” to 1 be played tomorrow in memory of ’ the late President Prince L. Camp- 1 bell, was requested by the spon (Continued on Page Four) KORE Broadcast Of Oregon-N.D.

Campus, Town Don Gala Array for Dads’ Welcome to Oregon New Yells Slated For First Hearing At Game Tonighl Dads Will Be Given Sample Of Traditional Oregon Fighting Spirit The inauguration of two new yells will be the means by which the Oregon yell staff will give the “Dads" a taste of the old spirit al the Frosh-Rook game at Haywarc field tonight at 8:30 o’clock.

In using this yell for the coach or captain of the team, his full name and title will be used, name ly, Coach Doc Spears, or Captain Irvin Schulz. Dramatists Gain Finish on Third Night’s Staging By JACK BAUER “Dulcy” last night opened with an easy naturalness, with every character swiftly and effectively drawn in sharp, distinctive lines. It progressed steadily to a ludi crous complication of business and love affairs that was satisfactory entertainment in every way. The excellent setting provided b y George Andreini, technical direc tor, made possible the natural grouping of many players, before now impossible on the severely re stricted Guild theater stage. This reviewer teund no glaring faults with the production, unless the too equal abilities of the play ers may be blamed. There was a lack of dramatic punch, due to the mediocrity of the play as a vehicle for thrills, and to the fact that no player managed to stand out def nitely above the others. There was an abundance of humor, and a va riety in situation, witticism, and manners that seemed to please the capacity audience. It is evident that Don Confrey, Walden Boyle, Leonard Dart, and Inez Simons were playing down, to give Marian Camp a chance to scintillate. She responded consist ently, and moved at high pitch throughout the entire production. In the role of the fool, Harvey Welch achieved some rare postures and expressions. Gene Love gave a fine performance, appearing less formal and less intense than in his previous work on the Guild theater stage. The ca,st is admirably bal anced, and successfully carried out a comedy of situation, always a delicate task when shaded charac terizations are demanded by crit ics and audience. “Dulcy” will be repeated Monday night, and is well worth seeing. Directories Selling Fast Ronald Rohnett Reports Studient directories are selling fast is the word sent out by Ronald H. Robnett, assistant graduate manager. “Pigger’s guides” for the year were put on sale at the Co op yesterday as scheduled. A new feature in this year is a classified business directory, along with names and addresses of fac ulty and students. Frosh Tilt To Cap Day’s Big Program Registration of Fathers for Cup Competition Closes At 4:30 With campus and downtown Eugene assuming colorful stream ers and decorations in the spirit of the celebration, Oregon Dads are here today for the fifth annual Dad's Day festivities. Every prep aration for the welcome and en tertainment of the Dads has been made by faculty and student com mittees, and event succeeds event on the day's program. "We have made every effort to make this a happy day of reunion for fathers, and their sons and daughters," said Ken Jette, chair man of Dad's Day, last night. "This is the first time in the five years that the Dads have been entertained on the campus, that all campus interest has centered around the visiting parents. We have endeavored to build up a pro gram of entertainment that will amuse as well as afford the fa thers a chance to learn something of the life and activities of the campus.” Registration Closes at 4:30 All registration for the purposes of award competition in the living organizations must be completed by 4:30 p. m. today. Further reg istrations may be made, however, until 5:30 p. m. Winners of the contest prizes will be announced at the banquet at McArthur court tonight. While all the houses are enter taining the Dads with special fea ture luncheons at 12 noon, the ex ecutive committee of the organiza tion will meet with President Hall at his residence. Immediately after the luncheons, a mass meet ing of the Dads for the transac tion of business and the election of officers will be held in Guild hall at. 2 p. m. All Dads are urged to attend this very important meeting. In case the Oregon North Dakota game is not over by that time, the score will be an nounced at intervals during the meeting. Dads’ Smoker The smoker begins at 3 p. m., so Dads are to be joined by their sons and daughters after the meeting at Guild hall and move on to the men’s gym. Special sec tions have been reserved at the gym so that the guests and their children may sit together. The banquet at McArthur court begins at 5:30 p. m. O. Laurgaard, president of the Oregon Dads, will act as toastmaster. The banquet program follows: Greeting from the state board of education by F. E.

Krosh-Itook Game The Frosh-Rook game completes Saturday’s program of entertain ment. The game begins at 8:30 p. m. at Hayward field.
