New Names Up
In a letter to the Emerald today.
Dean James H. Gilbert suggested
“Trappers” as a new name for
Oregon teams. His letter will be
found on page two.
Webfoots, adopted by the execu
tive council some ten years ago
as the official name of Oregon’s
teams, was brought into disrepute
last fall by sports writers, and new
names were suggested from many
sources. “The purpose of this vote
tomorrdw,” said Evans, “is to de
termine the exact student senti
ment and either restore to favor
the name ‘Webfoots’ or select some
new name that will meet with wide
acceptability. The vote will not

Gaelic Dramatist
Traces Beginning
Of Irish Theatre
Lennox Robinson Speaks
Before Student Crowd
In Guild Hall
With a subtle wit and attitude
of personal contact with his audi
ence, Lennox Robinson, Irish actor
playwright, last night in Guild
theatre described the humble be
ginnings and the gradual develop
ment of the theatre movement in
Ireland. The humor which kept
the audience smiling to themselves
or laughing Softly seemed to be
merely a projection of the person
ality of the speaker.
Beginning with the early Gaelic
culture of ancient Ireland, Mr.
Robinson pointed oyt the intricate
art of the old Gaelic language and
its literature, which was dying out
in the early nineteenth century.
Carrying the revival of |his an
cient culture from 1890 'through
the Irish political and religious
struggles up to the present day,
Mr. Robinson described the begin
nings of the theatre movement and
the part which Edward Martin, W.
B. Yeats, and Lady Gregory played
in this work. He described the
sacrifice, the hard work, the small
compensation received by the
faithful few who were pioneers in
this field.
Particularly interesting o u t
comes of this early movement
were pointed out by Mr. Robinson
as the development of a new type
of play, purely Irish in its nature,
written about the poor peasant
people of the country. Along with
this new type of play came the
trend toward the natural, intimate
type of acting lacking what the
speaker called the splashy, spec
tacular movements of the English
plays of this period.
In connection with this trend to
ward the truly Irish drama, Mr.
Robinson mentioned the beginnings
of the American Little Theatre

“We are bold and sturdy and
tough,
College days near through;
Now we’re strong and bully
enough
To be the Senior Cops.
Four long years it took to get
rough,
You’ll learn some day too.
Let us teach all of the stuff—
For we’re the Senior Cops.”
Accompanied by a catchy tune,
decidedly original dance steps that
only cops could achieve, and 20
of the toughest senior women a
la cords and mustaches, the above
t versicle started off the first Co-ed
Capers last night in Gerlinger hall
with a zip-boom-bang that carried
throughout the program to make
it one of the most outstanding
given on this campus in many
years. (And that’s not blurb.)

Pedestrian Crash
Results in Broken
Jaw for Student
Although the fact that when two
swiftly moving bodies meet, some
thing must give, is a physics ax
i >m, a chemistry student can some
| times be tremendously affected by
'it.
At least, this seemed the case
when George H. Goodyear, grad
uate student in chemistry, collided
head-on with another body in the
form of a rapidly running man
something gave all right—Good
year’s jaw. It was broken.
I The collision occurred at night
near the Pacific Christian hospi
tal—conveniently enough. The
man with whom he collided was an
employee of the hospital.
Goodyear, who is now back in
school, fractured jaw and all, is
not of the opinion, however, that
the hospital is drumming up busi
ness in this manner.

Holmes’ Retiring
Draws Comment
From Law Profs
Judicial Leader Withdraws
Amid Plaudits of
Admiring Nation
“No appreciation I could express
would even feebly represent the
gratitude of the American people
I for your whole life of wonderful
! service,” wrote President Hoover
j when accepting the resignation
Tuesday of Justice Olver Wendell
Holmes from the bench of the su
preme court.
He retires after 50 years of ser
vice on the bench, first in the state
of Massachusetts, and since 1902
as a justice of the supreme court
of the United States.
Wayne L. Morse, dean of the
University school of law praises
Justice Holmes’ work as contain
ing “cardinal principles of socio
logical jurisprudence.”
Yesterday he commented as fol
lows: “His resignation has brought
to an end a most brilliant judicial
career. Justice Holmes’ decisions
and legal writings have probably
influenced the development of
American jurisprudence to a great
er extent than any other jurist who
has ever graced the supreme
bench.”
“Basic in his legal philosophy
has been his view that the law is
a means for social control and not
an end in itself.”

Can t We 0et a
Hair Restorer?
Pleads Charley
This hair oil, Buddy,
Will help us study.
Page Dr. Hall:
A new way to raise money
for colleges appears on the hori
zon. Fr. James A. Gilmore of
Gonzaga university at Spokane
apparently rivalled Knute Rock
ne as a money maker for alma
mater.
Gilmore (not the one of cir
cus fame) turned down a for- ;
tune for his hair restorer dis- i
covery and gave the royalties
to Gonzaga. A class demon
stration on a student paved the
way to success.
Say, prexy, why not junk the

thing that pays ?
F’rinstance, get the geology
department working on a gold
brick—should sell as well as
hair restorer.
Or turn McClure inside out

And make Dean Sheldon come

Or have the art school get

Congress Club Discusses
Federal Taxation Problem
Pacific Basin Debater Defends
Government Measure
A raise in federal taxes of the
upper ranks of society, especially
by an increased income tax, inheri
tance tax, and gift tax, and a re
duction of armaments would great
ly help to reduce the government
deficit, members of the Congress
club decided last night when they
discussed the question of “Federal
Taxation” at the College Side.
David Williams, senior in math
ematics, opened the discussion. He
defended the administration's pro
posed tax measure on grounds that
if only the upper classes were
taxed, they would be less able to
buy government bonds, and also
would be less likely to invest in
private industry because of the
taxes. He also'pointed out that a
person has more personal interest
in the government when he knows
he is being taxed.
Roy McMullen, president, ap
pointed David Williams, George
Bennett, and Steve Kahn as a com
mittee to revise the policies of the
club.
Morris To Discuss Money

ASUW Employees
Agree to Salary
Cut of 20 Per Cent
Reductions in Parallel With
Retrenchment Policy
At Washington
UNIVERSITY OF WASHING
TON, Seattle, Jan. 13.—(Special)
—Cooperating in a major re
trenchment program to save $54,
000, all employees of the associat
ed students here today voluntarily
accepted 10 to 20 per cent salary
cuts. James Phelan, head football
coach, and all other athletic coach
es under contract were affected by
the reduction.
All Employees Out
Employees in every student ac
tivity—major and minor sports,
publications, debate, and dramatics
—were also hit by the salary
slashes.
Intercollegiate tennis, golf,
riflery, and all freshman competi
tion except crew and basketball
were wiped off the A. S. U. W.
program for the remainder of the
school year in a budget revision by
the board of control finance com
mittee.
Other Sports Hit
Systematic budget cuts in other
sports to avert a financial crisis
were also made. Baseball was
slashed $1000 through equipment
economies and the suspension of
freshman turnout. Basketball took
a cut of $1400 in operation expens
es and assistant coach’s salary.
Crew was stripped of $1800
through operation, equipment, and
assistant coach’s salary savings.
All training tables were eliminat
ed on the assumption that they are
“not vital to the continuance of
the various sports.”
Freshman debate was suspended
and varsity forensics face serious
slashes of finances.
Failure of $50,000 hoped-for in
come from football to materialize
in the 1931 season brought the hur
ried budget revisions.

Don Moe May Represent

Budget Cuts Necessitated
By Previous Action of
Other Schools
Without a dissenting vote, the
executive council of the associated
students yesterday afternoon ac
cepted the report of the athletic
committee, removing tennis and
golf from the University's 1932
sports calendar, and appointing
Ted Robb, junior in economics, as
senior football manager for next
fall.
j Hugh Rosson, graduate mana
ger, read the recommendations of
the athletic committee, Prof. H. C.
Howe moved their adoption, Earl
M. Pallett, registrar, furnished the
second, and after short discussion
a unanimous vote was polled.
Oregon, Pacific coast champions
, last year, have been conceded the
| mythical championship for this
I season by other colleges, it is re
ported. While a University team
will not play a golf schedule this
year, it is possible that Don Moe,
western amateur champion, may
represent Oregon individually in
coast or national competition.
Oregon Follows Example
Action of other northwest
schools in cutting tennis, golf and
other minor sports from their ath
letic schedules this year, and the
consequent inability to secure com
petition made similar steps here
advisable, according to the com
mittee.
Robb has worked as football
manager in the sport for two years,
and has made trips with the squad
as a sophomore and junior. Com
menting on Robb’s appointment,
Jack Edlefsen, head sports mana
ger, said: “It was hard for the
committee to reach a decision be
cause of the all-around abilities of
each of the junior managers. Ted
has been a very hard worker in
his managerial activity, and his
past record should forecast a very
successful managerial staff, next
year.”
Bauer Appointed
The executive council approved
the appointment of Jack Bauer,
senior in journalism, as orchestra
manager for the balance of the
school year, and of Gordon Fisher,
sophomore in art, as band manager
to serve until January 1, 1933.
It was further voted that four
singers, Merland Tollefson, Don
Eva, George Bishop and Ed Fisher
be recognized officially as the Uni
versity male quartet for the bal
ance of the school year.
Foreign Trade Honorary
Initiates Five Members
Pan Xenia, professional foreign
trade honorary, initiated five men
at a recent meeting. The new
members are Jack Edlefsen, Art
Potwin, and Charles Foster, sen
iors; and Lyle McCallum and How
ard Ragan, juniors.
Within the next month members
of Pan Xenia will go to Portland
where five business men compris
ing the advisory board will be in
itiated into membership.
Irish Author Dislikes Meeting
All ”Practicing Journalists”
By ELINOR HENRY
"Och, Johnny, I hardly knew
y’ ” read Lennox Robinson, Irish
dramatist, last night after his lec
ture at Guild hall before an in
formal gathering at the Very Lit
tle theatre, the 13th avenue play
house of Eugene and faculty folk
interested in dramatics. “Yeats al
ways admired this poem,” he add
ed. “He would like to have written
it.”
If the line quote held Robinson’s
name, it would be appropriate
here. That the Little Theatre
movement is young, we know. But
this man is still under forty, slen
der, dark, and quite tall, with a
strangely boyish look at times.
That he should be called "The
Father of the Little Theatre” lays
the foundation for all sorts of sur
prises for those who build up a pic
ture of the man from a knowledge
of what he has accomplished in the
years since 1908, when he first be
gan to write his plays.
“The world would be much bet
ter off without newspapers,’’ he
says, and evidently believes it. If
modesty ever were a fault, it is
his. In everything he says can be
detected the tendency to under
play his own genius, yet he shows
it clearly in his easy, conversa
tional way of saying the most im
portant things concisely and inter
estingly.
He dislikes all reporters, but he
especially abhors journalism stu
dents who are “sent to practice on
me.” Robinson, the actor, put on
a glowering aspect as he described
his feelings when such innocents
i admitted that they “had not been
able to get to my lecture,” and
showed that they knew little or
nothing about him.
