Mrs. E.W.Allen’s
New Serial Story
Will be Published
Mrs. Sally Allen, wife of Dean
Eric W. Allen of the school of
journalism, lias just received word
that her latest serial story, “The
Beret from Paris,” has been ac
cepted by the American Weekly, a
Sunday edition of 17 Hearst’s
newspapers. The story is a light
romance of 60,000 words.
Mrs. Allen, mother of John Al
len, graduate assistant in geology,
and Bob Allen, senior in journal
ism, has at last realized her
dreams.
"I’ve nlways wanted to write,
but couldn't do very much because
I had the children to care for,”
said Mrs. Allen. “But now for
two years the children have all
been at school, and that has left
all my mornings free, so I reserved
every morning from 9 to 12 for
writing.”
During these two years Mrs. Al
len has sold and placed various
plays, poems, and stories, but she
says that this on■; is her first “big
killing." One story, “In League
with the Stars,” published in the
Frontier, received honorable men
tion in both O. Henry’s and
O’Brien’s books of selected stories.
Dean Allen, commenting on his
wife’s literary ventures, said, "She
is honored by the highbrows and
paid by the lowbrows."

Rooks Drill Hard
As Final Tilt Willi
Yearlings Nears
Filers Works on Running
Attack To Coinhut
Frosh Threat
OREGON STATE COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Nov. 12.— (Special.)—A
squad of fighting demons who
represent the freshmen at O. S. C.
are hard at work in an attempt
to stem the attack of the Frosh
of Oregon when the two teams
line up for their last football meet
ing this season, to be played at
Bell field, Corvallis, Friday eve
ning, November 13.
Coach Filers has his boys all
primed for this encounter with the
Frosh and has talked the Staters
out of their apparent inferiority
complex. He realizes the handicap
his team faces because of the
sound trouncing they received
earlier in the season from Calli
son’s machine. The yardage the
Rooks rolled up in the second half
of the first meeting has helped to
keep that team in a keyed state
awaiting the call Friday night.
Injuries have played havoc with
thg first stringers. Brande, who
was moved from fullback to guard,
is laid up with a badly infected
leg. He is expected to be in trim
for the week-end scrap, however.
Heikenen, Pangle, and Swenson
are also suffering from minor ail
ments but will be in the thick of
the fray Friday night. These reg
ulars have been absent from prac
tice sessions, and as a result, Eilers
hasn’t accomplished as much as he
desires.
Plays over tackle have been the
weakness of the Rooks all season,
and Coach Eilers is drilling stren
uously to overcome this flaw. Most
of the week will be spent on of
fensive drill so the flashy ball
carriers, Heikenen anil Pangle,
will have the opportunity to show
their heels to the Frosh pack.
Every indication points to a
spectacular passing game on the
part of the Rooks. Eilers plans to
use the pass as an instrument to
keep the Frosh backs away from
the line of scrimmage, thus mak
ing the running attack a stronger
element.
A survey of six athletic squads'
scholastic averages as compared
with the marks of non-athletic stu
dents at Carnegie Tech has result
ed in the interesting fact that the
athletes rank outstandingly high
er than their less active brethren.
The combined average of the non
athletic groups was 3.4 (out of 6)
while the athletes obtained 3.63.
The best fraternity average was
surpassed by two athletic teams,
and the best dormitory average by
three.

WITH OTHER EDITORS
DOING THEIR BIT
Ten thousand names is the goal
of some IS groups of students who
begin this week to circulate peti
tions in Eugene and the University
of Oregon. The petitions are ad
dressed to President Hoover asking
that he instruct our delegates to
the Geneva disarmament confer
ence in February to recommend
strongly a real reduction in arma
ments.
It is a great goal, essayed by a
great spirit. Undergraduates on
an educational campus striving
for reduction of armaments is a
high example in true studentship.
It is proof to the citizens who
support higher education that the
institutions are bearing fruit in a
coming citizenship that looks be
yond the dross and strives for a
happier and better world.
The plans of these student
groups to secure 10,000 signatures
to arms limitation petitions and
to throw them into the great hop
per of American public sentiment
on the side of world peace and
world sanity are splendid endeavor
well worthy of the university cam
pus.
What the American people have
to say in advance will have a great
deal to do with what the American
delegates will do at the Geneva
conference. And all authorities
agree that almost entirely upon the
attitude of the American delegates
will depend whether the confer
ence will limit armaments or go
on with the present disgraceful
and destructive international arm
ament race, the most insane race
in armament building in the whole
story of mankind.
"Successful conferences are not
arranged overnight by delegates
sitting behind closed doors,” is an
assertion that comes out of the
American state department. It
goes on to say:
These delegates are mere rep
resentatives of their fellow citizens
and if these citizens take no in
terest in the subject matter of the
conference their representatives
cannot act with that assurance
and confidence that alone can lead
to a successful issue.
That is to say, the very thing
the students at Eugene propose to
do is the very action called for by
the American department of state.
That great department, which will
have so much to do with the dis
armament conference, wants pub
lic sentiment in America to be
created and wants that sentiment
to show itself to the American del
egates.
Another authority speaking on
the same subject is American Am
bassador Hugh' Gibson. He said:
It has been repeatedly said that
a real achievement by the dis
armament conference can be
reached only by an aroused public
opinion. This is profoundly true.
It was out of the academies of
Greece that there came the spirit
in students and others that result
i ed in the establishment of the first
i free government, a government of,
i by and for the people. In the uni
I versities of Russia there was agi
j tation for liberty far back in the
| last century.
That the German revolution of
1848, in which popular government
was the objective, broke out at and
was led by the universities is well
known history.
The students at Eugene are en
gaged in traditional and honorable
student endeavor.—Oregon Jour
nal.'

There are not many writers whose names are instantly recog
nizable the world over as being the leaders in their various
fields. This newspaper is gratified to note that a very large
number of these important folk are pledged to write for its
daily “March of Events” page. Some of the names appear in
the list herewith—but they are only a small portion of the
complete roster of those who may be counted on to keep this
page a forum for people who want to keep their minds young,
to be informed of the new things in art, literature, science,
and social progress. It is difficult to describe this page. Its
appeal is so wide, its note so
modern. There is culture, there
is humor — often blended — al
ways original.

not only good
but never dull
The only restriction upon writers for this page is that they
must do their best writing—must continue to be interesting
through resisting the temptation to be pontifical. Just because
they “know” is no reason why they should be pompous or
orthodox. Frankness is sought. Controversy is welcome. Those
of our contributors who are essentially critics are urged to re
spect no canons of “respectability” in the arts, to be in awe of
no great names. The result is, we
hope, a various and stimulating appeal
to minds still active enough to get in
the way of the traffic of new ideas.

humor—the new school
In the past few years a new American type of humor
lias gained well-deserved popularity. It seems to have
had its inspiration in “The New Yorker.” Based on
satiric observation of the foibles of human nature, it
pokes gentle fun at folk we know—and are. It is a
welcome departure from the “wise-cracking” of another
day or the strained “fun” dependent upon gymnastics
of dialect that our worthy grandparents were fed on..
