Campus Dance
Chairmen Plan
Autumn Theme
Holmes, Vaughn Reveal
Decoration Ideas
Don DeForrest’s Orchestra
^ From Jantzen Beach
Is Engaged
An autumn scene replete with
trees, leaves and practically every
thing else that one can see from
a window any fall day (with the
exception of the rain) will be the
decoration motif for the Home
coming dance, Bob Holmes, gen
eral chairman, and George Vaughn,
decoration' chairman, announced
last night. The committee will co
operate with the Stark company
of Portland in the decorating
work.
One of the chief features of the
dance will be the excellent condi
tion of the floor, according to
Holmes. He stated that special
waxing equipment was being se
cured from Portland and that Fred
Ahearn, floor chairman, would
work in conjunction with the
Sophomore Informal committee in
order to have the floor so that “a
fly couldn’t stand up on it.”
Ahearn Chooses Group
Ahearn announced the appoint
4 ment of the following committee:
George Linn, Keith Powers, Bob
Setters, Chuck Darling, Ed Ivles
serve, and Jim Newhall.
Another important announce
ment made by Holmes was that
Don DoForrest’s 11-piece Jantzen
Beach orchestra from Portland
would play instead of Loveland’s
orchestra as was planned previ
ously. DeForrest will also play at
the campus luncheon Saturday
morning.
Guests at Dinner
Last night the entire Homecom
ing directorate were the guests of
Jeannette Calkins, alumni secre
tary and committee advisor, at a
dinner at the Eugene hotel. Fol
lowing the affair general Home
coming plans were discussed.
The highlight of the evening
occurred when Slug Palmer won
the mastication marathon in a
walk. Bob Holmes suggested a
feature for between halves of the
game. Holmes’ idea was that all
y the University co-eds be dressed
in white and hold a flag drill on
the field. After a heated debate,
the suggestion was discarded and
so the feature is still a matter of
conjecture.
Work of Austrian Children
On Display at Art Building
An exhibit of the work of Aus
trian children has been brought to
the campus from Stanford univer
sity and is now on exhibition in the
display rooms of the art buildings.
It consists of a most remarkable
collection of charcoal, pen and
pencil, and color work done by chil
dren between the ages of 6 and 15.
In many aspects the work is
similar to that done in the pub
lic grade schools here. The exhib
it will remain up over the week
end for the benefit of those inter
ested in normal art or in any way
connected With the teaching of art
to small children.

TALK
Oregon—N. Y. U. Game
Sidelights
By Harry Tonkon
(Air Mail to The Emerald)
TOTE don’t know how you kids in
” Eugene acted last Saturday
evening, but I know we Oregon
ians in New York City went crazy
or something like that. We went
hog wild! But let’s talk a little
about what caused 113 to be that
way.
They’re playing a new song here,
entitled “Who’s the best football
coach in the country, and why am
I?” by Doc Spears. These east
erners insist upon calling our gen
ial mentor “Fat” or “Fatty,” even
j though we told ’em he has lost
I about 65 pounds in the last year.
You all know that Doc starts
smoking cigarettes every time the
opponent offers any danger. You
should have seen him when N. Y.
U. lined up to try for that point
after their only touchdown. Be
tween the time they lined up and
the moment when Forsta knocked
the ball down, Spears smoked or
swallowed about two packages of
cigarettes.
* * *
Mike Mikulak! Just mention
the name and you're talking about
one of the sweetest ball players in
America. It was a sensation for
the New York folks to see a player
without a helmet, especially since
it was raining. He’d block ’em
like nobody's business; and how he
tackled those babies!
With Mark Temple and Leigh
ton Gee performing like all-Amer
icans on Saturday, good night . . .
what will they be like two years
from now? Super - Americans ?
Please, Hugh Rosson—please bring
those fellows back here in 1933 to
play again, maybe not N. Y. U.
Then, they’ll have to pick the
whole Spears’ outfit for the all
American eleven.
I never saw Doc Spears with a
broader smile on his face than
that which he displayed in the
dressing room after the game.
Amos and Andy dropped by the
wayside as an advertising medium
for tooth paste, with Doc around.
* * *
We pause here for proper credit
to Bill Hayward and Bill Reinhart.
Col. Bill Hayward had certainly
watched those boys, for they never
were in better condition in their
lives. We saw a perfect backfield
at Yankee stadium, and that
meant a Reinhart quartet. Oregon
should be as loyal to those two
Bills as they have been to Oregon.
Count the years they have labored
diligently for the Webfoots.

Johnny Kitzmiller must have
learned plenty from a seat on the
bench, because he went out on the
Polo Grounds the next day and
scored one of two touchdowns for
the New York Pro Giants. Johnny
says when the pro season is over,

Sino-Jap Squabble May Open
New World War Says Noble
The refusal of Japan to with
draw her troops from south Man
churia by November 16 as provided
in the October 22 resolution of the
League of Nations, is a real test
of the power of that body to dic
tate what a member nation should
do in such an important case as
the present Sino-Japanese ques
tion, according to Dr. Harold J.
Noble, instructor of Oriental his
tory.
“The League of Nations,” Dr.
Noble said, “set a date for the com
pletion of the Japanese evacuation
of south Manchuria, for fear that
a Sino-Japanese war might break
out, drawing in Russia. Should
this happen, another World war
will no doubt again be staged in
view of the present European al
liances. Balance of power in the
Far East will also be endangered,
which would bring England and
the United States in that possible
conflict.”
Latest press reports state that
the Sino-Japanese question has be
come worse in the last week. Jap
anese troops are occupying- Tsitsi
har, a strategic position in north
west Manchuria. The Chinese del
egate to the League of Nations,
Dr. Alfred Sze, warned that body
that the Japanese northward move
ment will endanger relations be
tween Japan and Soviet Russia.
Dr. Noble explained that Russia
had her troops along the north
Manchurian border because she
fears that Japan might indefinite
ly occupy north Manchuria where
t the Chinese and the Russians joint
ly own the Chinese Eastern rail
way. Should Japan do so, mari
time Siberia could be completely
separated from the rest of the Rus
j sian territory—an event against
which Russia will surely fight to
the end.

King, Nov. 3, 1931.

morning by a man who claimed the dog had been bothering his goat,
has been laid to rest in a corner of the Beta house yard. Last rites
for the pet were simple, but impressive.
Five Dollars Will Terminate
Campus Wide Dog Scandal
Goat-Owner Decides Money
In Hand Is Better Than
Goat in Bush
By CARTER PILL
“For Sale: Milch goat, 971 East
11th.”
The above brief classified adver
tisement in last night’s Register
Guard proved the latest develop
ment in the famous (or is it in
famous?) Beta dog case which
drew wide attention during the
early part of this week.
W. A. Gilbert at the 11th street
address is the crestfallen owner of
the goat. On Tuesday morning he
emptied both barrels of a .12
gauge shotgun into a police dog
owned by Con Hammond, “defend
ing” the goat from what he
claimed were continued attacks on
the animal.
According- to Gilbert, the goat
is two years old, yields from one
to three quarts of milk a day, and
may be purchased for the paltry
sum of $5. The goat is not afraid
of dogs, he added.
In response to an inquiry about
the reason for selling the animal,
Gilbert said: "I’m the fellow that
shot that police dog for bothering
the goat, and there are so many
dogs in town that I decided to sell
the goat. It cost me $15 to kill
the dog, and that puts me $10 be
hind even if I dispose of the goat.”
Con Hammond of Beta Theta
Pi, owner of the deceased dog, re
fused to purchase the goat upon
being informed of the offer. Pie
declined to comment on the caso,
saying he considered it a dead
issue.
Freshmen Must
Don Rooter Lids
For Homecoming
Lettermen Are Also Asked
To Display Distinctive
Caps During Week
The annual Homecoming game
and the week previous to the clash
will see the freshman class don
Bob Hall
rooters’ lids m
stead of their
traditional green
freshman class
emblems. Such is
the edict of the
rally committee,
Order of the “O,”
and Bob Hall,
sponsor the root
ers’ lids.
Due to the fact
that this year’s
Oregon State game promises to be
one of the most successful ever
put on by the University, the rally
committee and the Order of the
"O” have taken charge of the
wearing of the lids by the fresh
men and plans are being laid for
a big pep damonstration at the
game in which the lids will figure
prominently.
Starting Monday, November 9,
every freshman on the campus will
be required to wear a rooter lid
to replace the regular Frosh
jockey cap. Monday, offenders
will be warned for non-appearance
with the rooter lids, and Tuesday
the guilty ones are to be haled
upon the libe steps for reprimand.
Starting Tuesday, all lettermen.
on the campus will also fall in line
with the wearing of the lids apd
an “O” sweater will go hand in
hand with a rooter’s cap. Hall
stated last night that he expected
every freshman and “O” man to
cooperate with the movement in
order to put it over successfully.
Open House for Freshmen
Draws 125 at Westminster
An estimated 125 freshmen at
tended the Frosh open house at
Westminster from 8 to 10 last
night, according to Max Adams,
University pastor.
The purpose and activities of the
Westminster organization were ex
plained by Ed Reames and Chuck
Martin.
Refreshments were served and
the S. A. E. trio sang several se
lections.
Independence of
Korea Impossible
Is Noble’s Belief
Country’s Problem Is Not
One of Free Status; But
Of Economics
That Korean independence is an
impossibility was the opinion ex
pressed last night by Harold J.
Noble, instructor of Oriental his
tory in the University, before the
International Relations club at the
second meeting of the term held
in Gerlinger hall.
“The great problem of Korea
now is not the question of her in
dependence, but an economic mat
ter,” Mr. Noble declared. Japan
has a short-sighted “hands-off”
policy with regard to exhorbitant
interest on loans, which, if fol
lowed to a conclusion, will result
within a generation in the Koreans
becoming a nation of landless ten
ant farmers, with a resultant de
struction of ambition.
The Korean Y. M. C. A., which
leads the cooperative movement, is
the only organization in which Ko
reans of ambition and ability are
allowed to express themselves.
During the discussion which fol
lowed Mr. Noble’s talk, the fact
was brought out that 55 per cent
of Korean farmers are tenants and

YW Student Employment
Bureau Gives Many Jobs
Secretary Should Be Notified Day
> Before Service Is Wanted
Of great service in the present
crisis in the employment situation
is the Y. W. C. A. student employ
ment bureau in helping students
who wish to earn part of their col
lege expenses while doing resident
work and in aiding employers who
use student help.
Already 44 girls have been given
work for room and board, and 15,
for either room or board. The Y.
W. C. A. is still on the lookout for
paying jobs, and will receive calls
for girls for housework, care of
children, typing, and similar work.
Better service is guaranteed if the
Y. W. C. A. secretary is notified
'at least a day before the service is
desired.
The prices recognized by the
bureau are 30 to 40 cents for gen
eral housework, 25 cents for care
'of children and 35 to 50 cents for
clerical work.
Bench Inscribed
Again Last Night;
Painters Defy 'O'
All Frosh Must Appear at
Libe Steps at 12:30,
Says Order of ‘O’
It's a challenge!
For the third time within a week
Oregon traditions have been brok
en, and open defiance sneered at
the upperclassmen of the Univer
sity. Late last night the senior
bench in front of the old library
was given another inscription in
brilliant green and yenow.
Inscribed across the seat of the
bench was the challenge, "To hell
With the Order of the ‘O’!’’ A deep
lemon yellow paint was used for
the jibe.
"73 de 35" was the cryptic mes
sage which was painted on the
front of the bench, and vividly un
derlined in green colors. Accord
ing to Jane Smith, night operator
at the local Western Union office,
“73” is the telegraph code for “best
regards,” so the message may be
deciphered to read, "Best regards
from the class of ’35.”
Libe Steps
This is an extreme disgrace
and must be stopped immediate
ly. All frosh are ordered to re
port at library steps at 12:30
today. Seniors at all houses will
be held responsible to see that
their frosh are present. Fresh
men absent will be severely
dealt with.
Signed, Kermit Stephens,
President, Order of the “O”.
On Wednesday night, between 6
and 7 o’clock, the senior bench was
given Its first coat of green. As a
result, over 200 freshmen were
marshalled in front of the library
at noon yesterday by members of
the Order of the “O.” After being
paddled by over a dozen lettermen,
they were compelled to remove the
paint from the bench, using their
green lids, dipped in cleaning fluid,
as improvised scrubbing cloths.
Suspicion that last night’s chal
lenge is the work of the sopho
more class has spread over the
campus.
Former Student
Braves Ice and
Snow Over Pass
From Sisters to Eugene, across
the closed McKenzie pass, in less
than three hours’ driving is the
record of Thelma Stevens, ’28, who
was called here by the serious ill
ness of her grandfather, John C.
Eads.
Miss Stevens,.who teaches Eng
lish, science, and physical educa
tion in Sisters high school, received
word of her grandfather’s illness
Thursday morning. At 10 o’clock
she left in a car driven by one of
her high school pupils. She said
that they had trouble in only one
place. The road, though officially
closed, was made possible by a
thaw, and good speed was made on
the last 50 miles of the trip.
Miss Stevens intends to come to
Eugene for Homecoming next
week, being doubly interested^ as
she graduated from Oregon State
after spending her freshman and
sophomore years here as an Eng
lish major. She said yesterday that
the state of the pass would deter
mine whether or not she would at
tempt the shorter and more excit
ing route between Sisters and Eu
gene.

The board of directors of the Eu

Tuesday, all the
plans have been
brought to a suc
cessful conclu
sion, according to
Neal Bush, gen

Hal Skelly at the El Capitan the
ater in Hollywood. Green will be
remembered on the campus as the
originator of George McMurphey’s
band that caused a sensation here
a few years ago.
Arctic Theme Planned
“As for the floor,” said Bill
Price, chairman of this committee,
“extensive plans are under way to
make the McArthur basketball
court a smoother and better danc
ing surface than ever before.”
The motif for the decorations,
under the direction of Betty Kar
keet, sophomore in English, will be
an interpretation of the arctic
theme, with icebergs, igloos, north
ern lights, and other fantasies of
the far north forming an aurora
borealis of striking effects. Work
of permeating the igloo with arc
tic atmosphere will start over the
week-end.
The dance will start at 9 o’clock,
and will be one of the few free,
all-campus dances for this year.

Benefit Game Plans
December 5 Is Date Set;
Proceeds Will Go
To Charity
At last the long proposed post
season charity game in Portland
has been definitely arranged. The
winner of the Oregon-Oregon State
game here on November 14 will
meet the University of Utah eleven,
winners of the Rocky Mountain
conference flag for the last three
years, on Saturday, December 5,
in Multnomah stadium.
Arrangements for the contest
were practically completed yester
day when coaches and officials of
both schools agreed to the game.
This was revealed when Aaron
Frank, Portland grid enthusiast,
called Dr. Spears and Hugh Ros
son, graduate manager, about the
proposed game. Spears told Frank
that the Oregon team would be
willing to do whatever the Port
landers wanted and that he would
be glad to meet the Utah team.
Schissler Favors Plan
Coach Paul J. Schissler of Ore
gon State, said that officials there
had agreed to the proposed game.
The contest with Oregon ends their
schedule.
Oregon’s part in the matter was
definitely set when the athletic
committee decided in favor of the
game at a meeting late yesterday
afternoon. In case Oregon should
defeat the Beavers it would mean
that the Webfoot would have four
games within 17 days.
Proceeds lor Charity
All proceeds from the game
would go to the unemployed and
needy of Portland, except, of
course, expense for the two teams.
There has been a great deal of agi
tation for such a game in Portland
all season. It was first suggested
that Oregon and Oregon State
move the Homecoming contest to
the Multnomah stadium, where, it
was argued, a greater crowd could
be accommodated.
Utah has a strong outfit this
year, holding the strong Univer
sity of Washington eleven to 13
points in a pre-season game this
fall. This is the third successive
>oar that they have captured the
championship of their conference.
Last Saturday they crushed the
Colorado Aggies 60 to 0.
Helen Binfortl Will Speak
On World Tour at Supper
Miss Helen Binford, sophomore
in sociology, who traveled around
the world this summer, will speak
Sunday, November 8, at one of the
weekly suppers given by the In
ternational house at 5 o'clock.
Miss Binford will talk about her
observations and impressions of
the existing social conditions in
the countries she visited abroad.
An informal discussion will follow
the talk.
Last Sunday, Miss Helen Whit
aker, who spent five years as Eng
lish teacher at the Fu Hsiang high
school for girls in Changsa, Hu
nan, China, spoke about her ex
periences in the Celestial empire.
Pigger’s Guide Complicated
With Similarities of Names
When the instructor calls the
name “Anderson,” he may have a
chorus of 21 answers (that is if all
i the Andersons in school were pres
ent). But that is not the worst
of it. If he attempts to distinguish
and calls Fred Anderson, there
may be two answers: one from
Fred Anderson of Astoria, one
from Fred Anderson of Eugene.
Or if the instructor calls Robert
Anderson, who can tell whether he
means Robert Anderson of Astoria,
or of Portland.
That is pretty complicated you’ll
admit. But there are many dou
bles on the campus. There is Roy
Brown of Portland and Roy Brown
of Long Beach; Harriette Campbell
of Silverton, Harriet Campbell of
Medford.
Margaret Davidsoh of Forest
Hills, Oswego, may get her mail
mixed with Marguerite Davidson
of Eugene. And Mary Duer of
| Sutherlin is not to be identified
with Mary Duer of Prospect. Mar
ian Henderson of Hermiston and
and Miriam Henderson of Oregon
City are listed in the pigger’s
guide.
Though Jean Lennard of Mil
waukie and Jean Leonard of Port
land spell their names differently
there is a confusion of sound. The
same might be said of Robert Mc
Cormick of Ventura, California,
and Robert McCormmack of Pen
dleton.
Besides being confused with 10
other people by the name of Miller
the two Robert Millers from Port
land and Wheeler are in danger of
being confused with each other.
Eugene has two Maxine Moores
and Portland has a Ruth Marie
Smith and a Ruth Ann Smith.
Robert J. and Robert T. Stevens
both hail from Portland though
they are not the same person.
