Two of the Pacific Coast’s most
powerful football machines repre
senting Santa Clara and the Uni
versity of Oregon will meet this
afternoon at 2 o’clock on Hay
ward field in the feature game of
the Northwest this week. The
Broncos reign as favorites due to
their smashing 12-to-0 defeat of
California last week. The Web
foots are practically untried in
stiff competition.
The two teams will present
equally heavy teams today. The
average weight of the Santa Clara
line, around 200 pounds, will be
equalled by Oregon’s forward wall.
The Webfoot backfield looks to be
slightly heavier, if less experi
enced.
Coaches All Set
Clipper Smith and Prink Calli
son, coaches of the rival elevens,
both expressed themselves as be
ing ready for the contest after
light workouts yesterday after
noon. The Broncos drove to Hay
ward field immediately after ar
riving yesterday morning and
spent two hours testing the Ore
gon soil. Later in the afternoon
Callison drove his squad through
a final session.
Today’s game is perhaps the
most crucial of the entire season
for both teams. Santa Clara,
after defeating California, is out
for a clean slate this year. Should
Oregon win it would brand the

Applications for
Work Pour in at
Employment Desk
Seventy Students Placed
In Employment Since
Term Beginning
More than 200 students have
filed applications for work with
the University employment ser
vice, according to Katherine Knee
land, secretary, and of these ap
proximately 70 have been placed in
positions since registration week
“The response from town and
University people in offering jobs
to willing and efficient students
has been very gratifying,’’ Miss
Kneeland said. The most frequent
reason why students have failed
to secure positions is that they are
often inaccessable or can not be
reached by telephone, she ex
plained. “All students desiring
part or full-time employment dur
ing the school year should register
immediately with the employment
office in order to take advantage
of the opportunities as they arise,”
Miss Kneeland stated.
Board and room, housecleaning,
putting in wood, office and campus
work are the lines of work most
frequently demanded.

baked pueblo villages and aban
doned cliff dwellings of Arizona
were described by Dean Eric W.
Allen, head of the school of jour
nalism, as the high point of inter
est of his summer vacation.
The party, consisting of Dean,
Mrs. Allen, and their son Bill, had
gone as far south as La Jolla, Cal
ifornia, and, in searching for a
new route north, headed for the
Grand Canyon and found the cliff
dwellers’ ruins in Arizona.
Five tribes, the Hopi, Zuni, Ute,
Apache, and Navajo, inhabit the
pueblo country, Dean Allen said.
The Zunis, living in irrigated val
leys, for the most part, are in a
higher stage of culture than the
Apaches and Navajos, who are no
madic, he said. The Zunis, accord
ing to Dean Allen, are the most
up-to-date of all; they have a spe
cial liking for fine cook-stoves, al
though their bread is baked in the
mud-ovens outside the house, or
“hogan,” as it is called.
These Indians have been influ
enced very slightly by European
religions and missionaries,” Dean
Allen stated. He was told by a
trader that 99 per cent of them
cannot speak English. The sign
language, as prompted by the oc
casion, was Dean Allen’s chief
means of communication with the
red men.
one occasion tne dean and
an Indian exchanged inventories of
their possessions, entirely by fin
ger counting and pointing. When
the Indian asked the visitor how
many horses he owned, the latter
gravely held up one finger and
pointed to his automobile, where
upon the Indian laughed apprecia
tively.
Candy and tobacco serve as
passports in pueblo land, and 25
cents is charged by the noble red
man, if you want to photograph
him. This custom. Dean Allen as
serts, was started by the Indian
agent of this region, so that his
proteges could add enough to their
scanty incomes from farming to
pay expenses civilization brings
on.
On the trip home, the Allens
went to Mesa Verde national park,
Colorado, where the government
is making the cliff-dwellers' cities
accessible to tourists.
The travelers arrived at the
Grand Canyon, by the north bank,
just a day or so before the Union
Pacific hotel burned down. They
also saw the^ painted desert, the
petrified forest, and Meteor cra
ter, where a comet hit the earth
approximately 10,000 years ago
The Allens were in La Jolla dur
ing the greater part of the sum
mer, and spent three weeks on the
trip home.
Alumni Rally To Aid School
In Fight on Merger Measure
I
I
By ALEXANDER G. BROWN
In all parts of Oregon alumni of
the University are rallying to the
support of their alma mater and
affording valuable assistance in
the work which is being done to
defeat the Zorn-Macpherson school
moving bill at the November 8
election.
During the summer the writer
traveled more than 9000 miles in
the state and in each community
contacted as many alumni as was
possible. From now until election
time, however, the alumni will
have to be kept posted through
the Alumni Emerald.
Alumni assistance has been a
vital force and one of the deciding
factors in the general repudiation
of the Zctrn-Macpherson bill as be
ing a measure sponsored by selfish
interests and offering nothing in
the way of tax reduction or im
proved educational facilities.
The past several weeks have
seen many representative organi
i
zations go on record against the
Zorn-Macpherson bill, including the
state federation of labor, the state
medical society, the state pharma
cists, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
the state bar association, and oth
ers.
The campaign against the Zorn
Macpherson bill has been mildly
one of education. The measure ap
peared under the banner of econ
omy and it has only been by analy
sis that the voter has been shown
that in truth the bill is one of the
most expensive items ever placed
on the ballot and calls for no sav
ing in taxation and no improve
ment in education in the state.
The interest of the alumni office
at the University during the past
several months has been to defeat
the Zorn-Macpherson bill and do
it decisively. This has been the
chief objective and practically the
only activity in which the office
has been engaged since the bill ap
peared.
Full Registration
Figures Out Today
Complete registration figures
for the University will be issued
this afternoon, according to an
nouncement last night by Earl M.
Pallett, registrar. Mr. Pallett also
said he could give out no informa
tion on registration previous to
this afternoon unless authorized to
do so by Charles D. Byrne, direc
1 tor of the informational service at
Salem.
Mr. Pallett said the figures to
be issued today would give com
plete information on the registra
tion in each school and depart
ment and how it compares to that
of previous years.
Oregon State college will release
, its enrollment statistics at the
same time.
October 10 Set
For Swim Meet
Strong feeling as to who will
score the most points in the intra
mural swimming meet which gets
under way October 10 is being dis
played by the different fraternity
houses and halls planning to enter.
Some of the houses already have
appointed athletic representatives.
Others are urged to do so at once
as the first meeting is scheduled
for Tuesday at 4:30 in the men’s
gym.
Men chosen as representatives
for this meeting should be depend
able and have a knowledge of the
rules and regulations of the donut
league. A 24-page booklet describ
ing the events may be obtained by
managers from Paul Washke, di
! rector of the donut sports.
Registration Ends
For Grads Today
Graduate students who have
not yet completed registration
should do so this morning. The
deadline is today at 12 o’clock
noon.
This is the first year that
graduate students have had but
one week longer in which to
register than regular under
graduates. Previously two weeks
have been allowed.
Late payment fees start Mon
day, with a fee of one dollar
per day for every late day up
to a maximum fee of five dol
lars.
Jeannette Calkins
Portland Resident
Alumni will be interested to
learn that Jeannette Calkins, for
mer secretary of the alumni asso
ciation, is at present residing in
Portland assisting in the work
against the Zorn - Macpherson
school moving bill through wo
men’s organizations there.
Following her resignation from
the secretary's position, Miss Calk
ins, accompanied by Margaret Boy
er, ’26, formerly circulation man
ager of Old Oregon, and Catherine
! Dobie, ’19, M. A., '31, attended the
1932 national convention of the
Delta Gamma sorority, of which
they are all members, in Victoria,
B. C.
Afterwards, until she was called
to Portland, she visited with
friends and Oregon alumni in Cali
fornia. She and Miss Dobi were
guests of Gertrude Stevenson
Stutsman in Hollywood for some
time. Mrs. Stutsman was former
. fornia.

Transfer of the Oregon-Oregon
State football game to Portland
and a subsequent additional $15,
000 in the coffers of each school

Although neither graduate man
ager’s office would make a def

generally that only the consent of
Carl Lodell of Oregon State stood
between the moving of the annual
classic to the state metropolis.
Hugh Rosson, Oregon graduate
manager, is said to be amicable to !
the change; in fact, he s believed
to be a strong supporter of it. Lo
dell also is understood to be fa
vorable to the transfer and is ex

State and Stanford universiy in
Portland this afternoon.
Homecoming plans are still up
in the air, according to Alexander
G. Erown, secretary of the Uni

tion. Under the recent plan of
joint homecomings with Oregon
State college upon the occasion of
the Oregon State-Oregon football
game regardless of whether the
game is played at Eugene or Cor

be November 5.

Information Asked
In order to facilitate the cor
rect information in the student
directory soon to be released,
students who have made a
. change of address since registra
tion should notify the dean of
men or the dean of women as to
the change as soon as possible,
it was announced yesterday by
Clifford Constance, assistant

Coogan Fails To
Get Parents’ OK
The eminent Mr. Jonathan
Coogan may have graduated
from juvenile cinema roles many
years ago, but he still is under
the critical surveillance of his
parents. Mr. Coogan did not ar
rive here yesterday to lead the
Santa Clara cheering section, the
reason being, according to one
Bronco rooter, that his parents
objected to his making the trip.
The same rooter said that
Coogan might make the jaunt
today, arriving just before the
game. Such is doubtful, how
ever.
Anti-Merger Sentiment
Ih Told on Tire Covers
Eugene has been alive for the
past several weeks with attractive
tire covers urging the voters to
join in defeating the Zorn-Mac
pherson school bill by voting 173
X No.
Many of the tire covers have
been sent to various parts of the
state, and they are available for
alumni and other friends of the
University and the normal schools
by writing direct to the Potter
Manufacturing company of Eu
gene. The price is 75 cents each,
and the covers are in two sizes.
The small size fits all tires up to
and including 30 by 6:00 and the
large size, all others.
Magazine Maintains
Long Silence on Story
Did you ever send your very pet
story to a magazine, only never to
hear anything about it, to know
whether it had been rejected or
not? If you have, there’s still
hope!
Three years ago Professor Fred
eric S. Dunn, chairman of the Lat
in department, submitted a book
review of “With Caesar’s Le
gions,” by R. F. Wells, to the
"Classical Weekly.” No news con
cerning it was ever sent him, and
he had long since given up hope
of ever hearing from it, when sud
denly he received a letter with the
word that the review had been ac
cepted, and would be published
soon!
Who’ll Take the
Blame Next Time?
_(Editorial)_
'T'HE EMERALD is glad to
have had the opportunity
to serve the student body so
early in the year by discover
ing the grievous mistake in the
interpreting of figures on the
constitutional amendment elec
tion last spring.
For the amendment to have
been added to the constitution
when the necessary two-thirds
majority of the student voters
was not in favor of it would
have been deplorable.
It also is gratifying that the
student body president has ac
cepted partial responsibility
for the mistake. That shows
lie realizes the gravity of the
situation and wishes to avoid
repitition of such in the future.
In conclusion, however, the
Emerald hopes that forthcom
ing will be another statement
showing the assignment of du
ties in the student administra
tion and delegating the re
sponsibility of elections to a
specific individual or group.
Then, and only then, can such
situations as this be avoided.
The definite assigning of all
duties incumbent upon the stu
dent administration is impera
tive. The Emerald is willing to
take the blame when it is
wrong; the University admin
istration will do the same. The
student administration is ex
pected to do as much.
Hall Takes Stand
On Frosh Election
By PARKS HITCHCOCK
Bob Hall, president of the Asso
ciated Students, made the follow
ing statement last night when in
formed of the Emerald’s discovery
that the proposed amendment to
the freshman election rules actual
ly failed to pass by the required
margin:
"This is certainly a surprise to
me. It is obvious that this amend
ment Was never passed by the re
quired two-thirds majority, and
that therefore the present nomin
iting committee is unconstitution
il. The freshman elections will be
bandied just as they have been in
past years. A nominating assem
bly will be held next Tuesday eve
ning, at which time all candidates
will be nominated from the floor,
rhe following Tuesday, October 11,
will be election day.
“The election was held while Bill
Bowerman (vice-president of the
A. S. U. O.) and I were in Los An
geles attending the Pacific Stu
dent Presidents’ association con
vention. Owing to a news story
the general opinion of the students
was that the amendment had
passed. Upon returning I noticed
that there was a majority in favor
of the amendment, but failed to
notice that the two-thirds major
ity was lacking.’’

Check on Spring Ballot

CROUP IS DISBANDED
Emerald Finds Amendment Failed
To Gain Two-Third Majority;
Assembly on Tuesday '
By DICK NEUBERGER
The freshman election board ap
pointed this week by Bob Hall,
president of the student body, is
illegal and never has been provided
for in the constitution of the as
sociated students of the University
of Oregon.
This embarrassing situation was
revealed late last night when the
Emerald checked over the results
of last spring’s election on con
stitutional amendments. A page 1
story in the issue of May 25, 1932,
stated that the amendment on
freshman elections “was passed by
a small majority."
A table giving election statis
tics refuted the statement in the
story, however. The figures were;
469 “yes" and 371 “no." Thus a
majority of 88 voted for the adop
tion of the amendment.
Two-thirds Vote Necessary
However, according to the con
stitution of the Associated Stu
dents, a two-thirds majority of all
ballots cast is necessary to pass a
constitutional amendment. This is
stated as follows in article VII,
section 1, of the constitution:
"Amendments to these by-laws
may be proposed in writing at any
regular or special meeting of the
Associated Students, when they
shall be read. The proposed
amendment shall be printed in the
Oregon Daily Emerald on the two
following days and be voted on by
ballot one week from the date of
proposal. A two-thirds majority
of the ballots cast shall be neces
sary for the adoption of any
amendment; provided, however,
that there be at least 500 ballots
cast.”
All the rules in the above ar
ticle were observed strictly. The
amendment was printed in the
Emerald as required, and it was
voted upon one week from the
date of proposal. The necessary
500 ballots were cast, but there
was no two-thirds majority in
favor of the amendment.
Vote Short by 91
'The total number of students
who voted was 840. Two-thirds of
840 is 560. Thus 560 ballots were
required to pass the amendment.
This is 91 more than the 469 who
cast their votes in favor of the
amendment.
Incidentally, another amend
ment, setting forth new eligibility

Year’s Persian Visit Leaves
Betty Jones Still Oregonian
By CAROL HURLBURT
After having .spent a year in Ah
waz, situated in southern Persia,
Betty Jones, junior in sociology,
has returned to the campus as
much of an Oregonian, as much of
a Webfoot, and as vitally interest
ed in the University of Oregon as
ever.
I caught her just before last
night's rally (she was on the rally
committee). I fired one question
after another at her while she
dressed, and still more questions
while we raced madly down the
street to the rally.
“What did you do in Persia?” I
asked.
"Nothing,” she answered. “I
couldn't go to school because it
was too far to Tyron, the capital
of Persia, and I couldn’t take cor
respondence courses. I wish you
would tell them that," she empha
sized. “I couldn’t go swimming be
cause there were sharks in the
river, and I couldn't even walk
around the compound alone for
fear that the Luhr tribes in the
Bakhtari would come down from
the north and raid.”
“What about the women of Per
sia?”
“In Ahwaz,” she answered, “I
saw only the coolie class of wo
men. They were married at a very
early age and their only purpose
in life is to bear children. In the
north, and especially in Tyron, the
women are very, very charming.
Most of them have been educated
in Paris and London and they look
like the Parisians.
“As a race,” she continued,
“they are interested in getting
ahead. Many of them have been
educated in the States, mostly in
the East or Middle-west, or else in
Europe. There are a few very fine
schools there, especially the Amer
ican College for Young Men and
Women of Persia, which is situ
ated in Tyron.”
"What about the sanitation and
other modern improvements?,” I
interposed as we tore down the
street.
“There isn’t any. It’s terrible.
Even in Tyron, which is supposed
to be as cosmopolitan a city as
Paris, in the homes of millionaires
there isn’t running water.”
Betty went on to explain that
due to the presence of the Anglo
Persian Oil company there are a
great many English people in the
country, “and it is every English
man’s desire, whether he admits it
or not,” she laughed, “to come to
America at least once before he
dies.”
Betty left the States on August
22, 1931, going by way of the Ori
ent, and returned to New York in
June, 1932, making the return
trip through Europe. Her father
was stationed in Ahwaz as chief
locater of the Persian railway for
the Persian government.
