Relief-Immediate and Permanent JN line with a country-wide program for relief of the unem ployed, downtown theatres are joining hands for the presenta tion of a benefit midnight matinee show tonight. The proceeds from the show are to be turned over to relief organizations to distribute among the needy unemployed of the city. No matter what our views of causes and cures for the present economic depression, it cannot escape our notice that there is great need for much sacrifice and liberal giving at the present time. The millions of unemployed in the United States must be taken care of during the winter. The Hoover plan for relief may not be the best in the world, but it is the only plan avail able that can be depended upon to any great extent. The des perate situation makes it imperative that the relief program receive our full support. The theatres are making much easier the task of giving by providing excellent entertainment for the evening. But while we are giving and enjoying ourselves, let us keep in mind that, though the program for immediate relief is a necessity, a far greater work remains in the evolving of a program for perma nent economic stability. Our devotion to one cause should not blind us to the need of the other. A sound economic organiza tion should remove the cause for widespread unemployment and its accompanying distress. Mr. Average Man Thinks Tomorrow is Thanksgiving anil the beginning of four days vaca tion for millions of school children and college students. The average man has vague ideas about what started Thanksgiving. Something about Pilgrims or Indians and wild turkeys, wasn’t it? It doesn't seem to matter what started Thanksgiv ing. Now it's a day of enormous food consumption and important football games. The average man hopes all his fellow students en joy a pleasant vacation. * * * As clear an explanation of the college football situation as ever was printed appeared in the editor ial column of the Eugene Register Guard Tuesday afternoon. William M. Tugman, of the Guard, writes in part thus: "East and West, great numbers of students are growing cold toward football be cause too often players do not de serve the rating of students and because the play is too serious to be called a game.” By "great numbers of students,” Mr. Tugman means the average college student, whose ideas and thoughts on cur rent topics are presented in this column. * * * At the risk of being told he does n’t know anything about it the average man wishes that some thing could be done about the cur riculum of the University. There are too many required courses and too many courses with too many people in them. And too much em phasis is given to grades. Alto gether it’s TOO BAD. No doubt changes would be made if they were possible, that is, fairly possi ble. * * * Eleven men of the beginning class were publicly chastised today for infractions of a code tradition ally created and enforced by the athletes on the campus. Nothing in college life is more ridiculous and comically pitiful than the spectacle of a normal, intelligent human al lowing himself to be beaten by an other person because that person happens to wear an emblem of su perior physical strength. Three of the freshmen were pun ished for cockiness (a term without meaning). Certainly anyone with an egotistical nature will not he cured through public punishment. More likely to make him a martyr to himself. » * * Here is an argument often heard on the campus. If football supports the athletic program and gate re ceipts at games are such an im portant factor why must nearly three thousand students go on pay ing $5.25 per person each term throughout the year? The total is $15.75 each nine months of school for the privilege of watching one conference football game, four or five basketball games and possi bly the same number of baseball games, if you care for baseball. Looks like something is wrong somewhere. For the real athletic program of the University (intra mural sports and gym classes) pro vision must be made in the lax budget of the state. The average j man is beginning to wonder. A Waste < 1 i i 1 i Power .Misalignment can cause waste of power, loner gas mileage. . . . Side-slipping tires wear out too soon. . . .

BUT WERE THE INHABI TANTS MAD? NO. OUT THEY TROUPED, AND BEFORE YOU COULD SAY JONATHAN RA BINOWITZ, THE WRECKERS HAD DATES FOR THE EVE NING. Falling right in with the theme, we hereby present a little playlet whieh may happen any day now. (The scene is in front of a sor ity. The hero dashes up in his Flivver. He leaps out and, pausing to rip the limbs off the sapling in the parking, he proceeds up the walk, tearing great holes in it with a pick-axe which he has drawn from his pocket. When he reaches the door, he beats it down with a sledge which is conveniently placed beside it for callers. The girl comes to the door.) She Oh, Edgar. (She slashes his topcoat to shreds with a razor.) He Hya, Babe. Whatcha doin’ ? (He idly tears her beads from her neck and grinds them under his foot.) She Nothin’. I knew it was you when I heard you chopping on the door. Eddie, if I do say so, you certainly break a great door. He Aw shucks, that ain’t noth in’. (In his embarrassment he pulls several handfuls of her hair out by the roots.) She- Well, whadya know? He Not much. Wanna go some wheres. (He takes his hatchet and hacks out several bricks which he tosses through the bay windows.) She (Adoringly) Anywhere, dear, with you. He—O. K. How about goin' over and pushing over the Pioneer Statue ? Or maybe we could burn down the Old Libe or somethin’. She- That would be simply di vine, Eddie. Wait until I get my coat. (She dashes upstairs tossing a vase at a sleeping sister, who awakes and wags her finger dis approvingly. She reappears, an axe under her arm and a Thomp son Sub-machine gun slung on her back.) He—All ready? She—My dream boy!

Education School Prints High School Publication The November issue of the High School, pamphlet published by the school of education of the Univer sity in the interests of secondary education in Oregon and the Northwest, has just been published, according to Robert Hall, super intendent of the University press. This pamphlet, which is edited by Dr. Nelson Bossing, professor of education, contains various ar ticles and statistics for the high school’faculty. An article of note concerns the adaption and plan of study of for eign languages in the high school by Ray P. Bowen, head of the de partment of romance languages at the University of Oregon. Gregory Accepts Position On Oregon City Paper Carl Gregory, graduate in ’30, with a B. A. degree in journalism, has just accepted a position with the Oregon City Enterprise and will report there this week-end for work. Gregory has been in Wilmington, California, where he has been con nected at various times with news paper work there. After gradua tion he worked on the Pocatello Tribune, Idaho, where he was a j reporter and feature writer. While a student at the Univer- j sity, Gregory was president of Sig- j ma Delta Chi, men's national jour nalistic professional, and also held ! various positions on the Emerald. ! ELEVEN MAKE MENS VARSITY DEBATE SQUAD (Continued from Page One) a loss for the manufacturer who must cut wages to keep from sus taining the deficit. The final pic ture completes the cycle. They also offered the theory that wage cutting has a bad psychological effect on the morale of the people, causing the hoarding of money, an unfortunate business condition. The negative arguments, how- ' ever, contended that wages and j prices have not kept pace with each other, resulting in a situation 1 in which the producer is unable to make his business pay. He has had to cut the wages of his workmen in order to keep the right balance ' in his budget. i Women’s Hockey Teams Chosen From Try-Ouis The following girls have been selected for the two hockey first teams and substitute list from try outs held last week.

COUNCIL ADOPTS 0.75 INITIATION AVERAGE (Continued from Page One) To the individual houses will be left the decision as to whether they will initiate a pledge who has one or more F grades but who still makes the 0.75 average. In the past some houses have not initi ated men who received flunks. There was little discussion on the recommendation of the rush ing committee which had investi gated and reported to the council. Members of the committee are James Dezendorf, chairman; Ed Fisher, Bill Minsinger, and Bob Holmes.

PROTESTS CO-OP POLICY To the Editor: I understand that the hours of those working at the Co-op have recently been lengthened without due compensation. I notice that the store is now open evenings, but have not seen many people trading there at these hours. I wonder just how much it is cost ing the store in light bills to ren der this service, and if there is enough increase in trade to justify the extra expense, for certainly some of those who buy in the eve ning would buy in the daytime if the store were closed nights. In any case those who work overtime should be paid for it. I am not foolish enough to argue that the increase in hours of those working at the Co-op will in the least delay the return of prosper ity, but, if the student body of the University of Oregon sets the pub lic such an example in a time like this, it is time we were closing our economic theory classes and teaching those in charge of stu dent policies how to apply what they have learned. Is it beneficial to anyone for us to learn what employers should do, and then vio late those principles? HARRY STONE JR. INFIRMARY HAS TWO Cold weather must agree with Oregon students as there are only two in the infirmary. Adelbert Aldrich and George Wallmann are the two patients. BOOKS OF THE DAY EDITED BY ROY SHEEDY SUSAN SPRAY By Sheila Kaye-Smith. Reviewed by Aithine Rogers and Dot Williams. Susan Spray, as a child, is ap-j parently slightly touched in the! head, for at one particular time in j a thunder storm, when she is sup posed to be working in the hay fields, she becomes frightened and runs home. She knows that her j parents will probably whip her I soundly, so she tells them that God appeared to her in the storm and j told her to run home. Her parents are most supersti tious and take her to church and tell all of their friends about the phenomenon. Susan becomes fa mous at 10 years of age, as one of God’s chosen prophets. Susan keeps on preaching, and, as a young woman, we find her working on a farm and preaching to the other farm hands. It is while in this environment that she meets a hop dryer and marries him. In due time she becomes a widow and utilizes that as an ad vertisement, going about her preaching and telling how the Lord has afflicted her. She goes on her reckless career and marries a flashy young man, but eventu ally the glamor of the romance wears off and she divorces him. Before the gentleman is conscious of her plan, she has married a third victim. The novel is well written and shows a great deal of insight into the life of the early and middle nineteenth century. One gets the feeling that the author fully un derstands her heroine, and feels sympathy for her. The reader feels contempt for Susan Spray, but at the same time, he can’t help but admire her determination. Sheila Kaye-Smith is one of the best known of the present English writers, and this book is considered her best since “Joan of Godden.” “Susan Spray” is a Book-of-the Month selection for October. It was published by Harpers. The Heart Bomb Of Aunt Eppie Dear Aunt Eppie: I have had a yen for a certain lady of this fair city for a long time, but have been unable to see her because of my studies. With Thanksgiving coming I see chances of seeing the fair lady in the near future. There is only one draw back, her husband happens to be a doctor in this town. In hopes, Berlin Mayes. Dear Berlin: I hardly know how to advise you in this matter. If her husband were a plumber or the owner of a livery stable, I would know what to say, but since he is a doctor about all I can say is, “Eat an ap ple before you go to see the lady.” Professionally, Aunt Eppie. MRS. HALL, BETTER Mrs. Arnold Bennett Hall, who was confined to her home with pneumonia before the homecoming celebration last week, has been re ported by Dr. Fred N. Miller, Uni versity physician, as well on the road to recovery. ttOTHING Bvt I never get tired of Chesterfield—they always taste better.
