i Say Something, Mr. Vinchell
Please, Sir, Say Something
By THEOCRITUS SMITH
Interviewing Vulture Vinchell,
recently appointed Maestro of Cer
emonies for the Fete Venetian, was
a cinch. He is the most approach
able man on the campus; bathes
daily.
The M. C. (master of ceremon
ies, dear reader) and the Emerald
reporter went into a huddle, called
signals, and fell into punning for
mation. Vinchell won an award
for punmanship in grammar school.
“How do you veal today, Mr.
Walrus Windshield,” I asked.
“Bully,” he replied, his choler
mounting.
“What do you think of prohibi
tion ?”
“If at first you don’t succeed,
* dry, dry again. Beer and babies
in every home. I’ll take mine
straight, with a dash of lime.”
“What do you think of the tariff
bill?”
“Do you tariff I smoke?”
Vinchell picks piccolos in sea
son. and also his nose. His free
wheeling zither works well in a
high wind.
Our M. C. stated emphatically
that he is a free trade advocate,
but thinks that there should be a
50 per cent levy on lumber, wheat,
machinery, food, and other luxur
ies.
“Who will fill Bobby Jones’ shoes
in golf this year?”
“Bobby Jones.”
On the matter of the new house
tax bill, the Vulture thought that
“it tax too much time to figure
it out.”
“Is Charley Dawes R. F. C. go
ing to work out?”
“At Hayward field tonight.”
“I mean the reconstruction fi
nance corporation.”
“Oh. Well, it audit solve the
problem, but there’s no accounting
for bankruptcy.”
On the League and Japan—
| “Either a blockade or a limeade.”
On the matter of divorce—“Get

Watch Magnate
Will Speak Here
This Morning at 9
Charles Ingersoll To Talk
On Taxation of Land
And Depression
Charles Ingersoll, industrialist,
economist, and merchant is in Eu
gene and will speak Thursday
morning at 9 a. m. to economics
and social science students and all
others interested in room 105 Com
merce building. His subject is
“Taxation of Land Values in Re
lation to the Depression.”
Ingersoll has been the active
head of the famous watch manu
facturing company by that name
for 30 years, and is very active in
economic questions. He is especial
ly interested in taxation. Ingersoll
is president of the industrial tax
relief in New Jersey, and also
president of the national industrial
tax relief in New York. He has
been for many years director and
president of the National Jewelers
Board of trade.
Among his other activities in
economics, Ingersoll organized and
for over 15 years has been presi
I dent of the American Fair Trade
association in New York. This or
ganization has for its purpose the
maintenance of prices on identified
merchandise.
Ingersoll says he likes to “talk
to, confer with and be heckled by”
his audiences rather than deliver
lectures. He believes that “Capital
ism” disassociated from monopoly
is society’s salvation; that the
Marxian cults, socialism, sovietism,
communism, fascism, and many
i “liberal” panaceas have but one
alternative—reversal of our taxing
errors.

Emerald’s Questions
17i order to better acquaint the students with the policies and
beliefs of the candidates for the offices of president and vice-presi
! dent of the A. S. U. O. in today's elections, the following list of
questions was prepared and asked by the Emerald yesterday.
The questions were prepared and asked by Willis Duniway,
editor, and Thornton Shaw, managing editor. Stephen Kahn, Mar
guerite Davidson, and Betty Duzan recorded the answers verbatim.
Here are the questions:
PRESIDENT
1. Do you think the new student parliament should have legisla
tive power or be merely an advisory board ? If the former, how
would you accomplish it?
2. Do you think that student body financial control should be
turned over to the president of the University?
3. Do you believe in political parties as factors in student govern
ment ? How will you fulfill your obligations to your supporters ?
4. Do you think the students are given value received for fees paid
for the support of the A. S. U. O. ? Would you favor increased
levies if they became necessary?
5. What do you think should be the relationship between the Em
erald and the executive council? Should the council have the ab
solute right of censor over the Emerald?
VICE PRESIDENT
1. As chairman of the Court of Traditions, what are your plans
for enforcement? Would you advocate the return of certain de
funct traditions such as the Frosh Parade ?
2. Do you favor a Homecoming every year ?
3. As director of student body and freshman elections are you in
favor of the proposed constitutional amendment to eliminate
politics in the nomination and election of freshman class officers?
If not, what method do you suggest?
Answers of the candidates, who have been arranged alphabeti
cally by office, follow:
Candidates for President
BOB HALL
1. The student parliament should have advisory power only for
the first two or three terms at least. If at that time, the members
have become sufficiently informed to give an intelligent decision on
all problems, they should be given some sort of power, perhaps, or
representation on the executive council.
2. No. The president of the University has little or no time to
consider student body financial problems. These should be left
to experienced men, such as we have in our graduate managers
office, who spend all their time on them.
3. Yes, for the only reason that it is the best method of raising
student enthusiasm in their government.
For those who have given their whole* hearted support to this
ticket we will help them to carry out the activities in which they
are interested.
4. Every dollar he pays in his fees goes to the support of some
worthy student enterprise. I see no place in which they could be
cut without injuring the interests of the student body. I would not
be in favor of increased levies of any kind unless It was absolutely
necessary and I can’t see where it will probably be necessary.
5. The Emerald and Executive Council should work together to
carry out actions which are for the benefit of the student body,
but the Emerald should not be censored to such an extent that It
will not be able to give constructive criticism.
DAVID WILSON
, 1. I believe that within two or possibly three years the student
parliament should assume legislative power. If the parliament is
the success it should be, the students will before long acquire the
knowledge and the interest necessary to run their own govern
ment directly.
By constitutional amendment, the students could first provide
for the election by the parliament of several members of the exec
utive council, such as the senior man, senior woman, and junior
man. Constitutional amendment could also provide that the par
liament, by two-thirds vote, could veto acts of the executive coun
cil. The control of A. S. U. O. finances should, however, be left
with the executive council.
2. Decidedly not. Wherever this has happened, in another uni
versity, it has been a sign that the student body was practically
insolvent. In any kind of government the control of finances is the
center of power, and in a student government the power should be
retained by the students themselves.
3. Political parties are as indispensable in our government as
clothes in our daily lives. If they are undesirable at present, let’s
change them. But we can’t throw them away.
If, when I was about to confer a student body appointment,
two students of equal ability were eligible for the position, I could
logically favor one of them if he had supported me in pre-election
campaign.
4. The students undoubtedly receive full value for their annual
investment in the A. S. U. O.
But the fees are high enough as it is, and if it became neces
sary to have additional funds for certain purposes, they should be
drawn from other divisions of the present budget.
5. The U. S. Congress controls the business affairs of the Presi
dent, by having the right to appropriate funds for his expenses.
But Congress cannot fire the President, nor can it tell him what
to say and what not to say. There should be a similar relationship
between the Emerald and the executive council.
The Emerald should have the right to criticize the executive
council freely without fear of censorship. Tiie Emerald’s first
duty is to the students as a group of individuals, not to the A. S.
U. O.

Courtesy Prizes
Professor Dunn Is Chosen
Representative of
Faculty Etiquette
Sophisticated sophomores car
ried off the honors on “Courtesy
Day’’ yesterday, when two mem
bers of the second-year class were
awarded the courtesy prizes by the
“secret six."
Nancy Suomela, sophomore in
sociology, was selected by the Phi
Theta Upsilon committee as the
co-ed who typified the best colle
giate etiquette in every-day life.
She is to receive two tickets to
the Canoe Fete.
Allan Proctor, sophomore in art,
received the approval of the un
known observers as the man dis
playing the nearest to ideals of
campus courtesy. His award is a
ticket to the Junior Prom.
Professor Frederic S. Dunn,
head of the Latin department, was
chosen as representative of the
faculty. He, also, will be presented
with two Canoe Fete tickets.
The courtesy observance was
sponsored by Phi Theta Upsilon,
service honorary for uppercla33
women, in connection with the sale
of the Oregon etiquette book, “The
Curtsy.” The booklets, unique in
content and design, are selling
rapidly at the Co-op, where they
may be purchased for the re
mainder of the week for 25 cents.
Department Store Aids
In Interesting Event
An entire window of advertising
and publicity material devoted to
Junior week-end has been offered
by the McMorran and Washburne
department store, reports Mahr
Reymers, advertising manager for
the campus celebration Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday.
Scenes from former week-end
celebrations will occupy a promi
nent place in the display. McMor
ran and Washburne is also devot
ing a portion of their daily news
paper advertising to the third-year
class events.
Does Color Alter
Our Perspective?
Ponders Charley
These ('hanging Times
Four Americans in Honolulu
spent one hour in jail.
They were tried by twelve
men, good and true, convicted
of manslaughter and sentenced
to ten years apiece.
But the "unwritten law” tri
imphed over the printed statute
and the governor commuted the
sentences. As one southern
senator used to say, “When the
constitution interferes with the
honor of American women I
say, ‘to hell with the constitu
tion.’ ”
I’d have probably done the
same thing had I been in Mas

Hall, Wilson Parties Stage
Rallies and Dances
Before Election
By JULIAN P. PRESCOTT
After a campaign enlivened by
dark horses. Roustabout candi
dates, changes of tickets and the
usual rallies, A. S. U. O. voters
will go to the polls today to choose
officers for the coming year. The
polls will be open in the Y. M. C.
A. hut from 9 o’clock this morning
to 3 o’clock this afternoon.
"Signed student body tickets
must be presented at the door for
admission to the hut,” Walt Evans,
who is in charge of the election,
stated yesterday. “Voters will sign
for ballots and their cards will be
punched. Students will please not
remain in the hut after casting their
ballots but will leave immediately.
It is requested by A. S. U. O. of
ficers that there be no electioneer
ing within 50 feet of the hut.”
Counting of ballots will begin
at 3 o’clock, when the polls close.
Bulletins giving the standing of
all candidates will be posted hour
ly on the board at the College Side
Inn beginning at 4 o’clock. It is
not expected that the counting will
be completed before 9 or 9:30.
The following members of the
election boards are asked by Walt
Evans to be at the Y. M. C. A. hut
at the hours designated:
9 to 11— Esther Kaser, Chuck
Jones, Frances Rupert, John
Creech, Thornton Gale, Marjorie
• Swafford.

. lefseh, Virginia Grone, Cecil Espy,
. Keck McKain, Janice McKinnon,
Paul Bale.
1 to 3—Connie Baker, Helen
Kaufman, Ethan Newman, John
McCulloch, Barney Miller, Fred
I Hellberg.
The members are asked to re
port before the hour, if possible to
facilitate changing boards.
Large crowds of students took
1 part in the rallies of both parties.
The dances of the Hall party and
1 of the Wilson backers jammed with
collegians rallying to the cause.
With the women’s groups unable
• to support either ticket officially,
• it was not evident last night which
i candidate would get the largest
■ feminine vote. Individual expres
i sions of partisanship by co-eds in
dicated a faifly even split.

College Training Necessary
■ For Work, Says Miss Smith
Everyone should have a college
education if he expects to work,”
said Miss Hermione Smith, who
has returned to Eugene from New
York, where she has been working
for the Erwin Wacey Advertising
agency. "One of the things that
has helped me most in getting a
job is my college degree.”
"Living in New York,” Miss
Smith stated, “is very interesting.
Everyone seems in a hurry. It an
noys me dreadfully at times, and
yet I, myself, am constantly dash
ing around. Also such a large city
I is frightening; one is afraid to live
there, and afraid to leave, but I
love it, and never am lonesome.
| "My trip to Eugene was made
1 by airplane. It was a grand trip,
but I couldn’t enjoy it to the full
est extent, as I was ill most of the
time—I suppose it would be called
air-sickness. However it seems so
good to be back home again, with
nothing to do but rest, and renew
old acquaintances. This is my first
visit home in three years.
“You know, it seems that every
one wants to be a copywriter for
an advertising agency. Positions
are difficult to obtain. It is very
interesting although it keeps one
busy. Even my vacation is not free
from work, as they sent me some
copy that has to be done right
away in order to catch the next
boat for Berlin.’’
Miss Smith graduated from the
University in 1929. While here she
majored in journalism and finds it
very helpful in her work. She is
affiliated with Delta Gamma so
rority.
