‘Buttonholing’
Mars Second
Frosh Election
Shady Tactics Charged
At Polling Place
STATEMENT IS MADE
Bowerman Says Electioneering
Not So Bail as in
Other Years
By JULIAN PRESCOTT
That the freshman elections
should go off without any reper
cussions seemed almost too good
to be true. And it was.
For even in the same issue of
the Emerald that announced the
results of the election appeared a
communication to the editor pro
etsting the “buttonholing” of vot
ers at the polls.
And shortly after the publica
tion of the protest the student
body officer in charge of the elec
tion, Bill Bowerman, issued a
statement concerning the cam
paign tactics of the parties in the
field. He neither denied nor ali
bied. His statement follows:
“It is true that there was elec
tioneering at the polls. On sev
eral occasions election officials
told the offenders to go outtside
the lobby of Johnson hall, but
they returned pretty quick to tell
those marking their ballots how
to do it.
“One time when I went to the
polls after a class there was a
group of men campaigning for
one candidate or ticket and a
group of women working for an
other. The only difference was
that the women were more effici
ent, each co-ed taking one voter,
while the men ganged up on the
persons whose vote they wished
to get.
“Class elections have always
been held in Johnson or Villard
hall without any particular diffi
culty from electioneering. It
would undoubtedly be an improve
ment if voters could have absolute
privacy while they are marking
their ballots.
“Electioneering at the polls
could be stopped quicker and j
easier, however, if the political
leaders of organizations would
not urge the members of their
group to go to the polls to per
suade every voter to vote for their
candidate.”
Disinterested observers at the
polls confirmed Bowerman’s state
ment that the “buttonholing” was
being done by the supporters of at
least two of the candidates for
president. They also said that
from the aspect of electioneering
the election this year was consid
erable of an improvement over
that of last year.

Penny Pinchers Watch I
Library Fines Change
You who find it necessary to
hoard your pennies in this so
called depression had better
watch your p’s and q’s when
you borrow books from the cir
culation library at Condon from '
now on; for, get this—beginning
today, an additional fine of 10
cents will be charged for all
fines on overdue books that are
not paid when the *book is re
turned.
This new penalty was added
to cover the cost of mailing re
minders to negligent or absent- !
minded students who fail to re- ♦
turn the books that are in con
stant demand, and also to stop
the late return of so many of
the popular novels.

business not connected with the
University or social purposes, it

Omar Hoskins, who suffered
cancellation of registration at the
meeting of the board Monday, had

White Elephant Club to Meet
Saturday For Godly Revelry
Legend has it that on very spe
cial nights the gods of old Olym
pus descend from their celestial
heights to frolic and disport them
selves. Tales are told of nectar,
ambrosia, high jinks, godly revel
ry. We hate to draw a parallel,
but we might tell a tale of high
jinks among our own godly—
white elephants!
Saturday night the faculty goes
jazz age at the club. Says Edi
tor Pat Morrissette of the Faculty
Flute:
‘‘There will be dancing, games,
stunts, gossip (bring your own)
and amusement both dignified,
hilarious, and comely.”
Have you a mental picture of
Stephenson Smith in a bit of
comely and hilarious amusement ?
Says Editor Morrissette further:
“Wear sun glasses, eye shades,
red handkerchiefs, Chinese whis
kers, ear rings, toupees, wigs,
turbans, picture hats, sun bonnets,
frosh lids, monocles. You can be
original, but do not come in yodr
bare face.”
This really isn’t bad. We're

Charity Plan
Gets Approval
Of Committee
Executive Council Says
Benefit Idea O. K.
NOW CP TO O. S. C.
Neuberger States That Emerald
Will Step Aside, Now That It
lias Made Suggestion
The University executive coun
cil, previously on record as favor
ing the moving of the Oregon
Oregon State game to Portland,
yesterday said it was in favor of
settiftg aside a portion of the pro
ceeds for charity, provided the
contest is held in the state metro
polis.
The body, acting upon the sug
gestion made by the Emerald
Tuesday, did not reiterate its
previous stand in regards to the
location of the game, but merely
added that it was willing to give
a portion of the receipts to char
ity if Portland is chosen as the
locale.
Now Up to Corvallis
The council took the attitude
that it is up to Oregon State
Agricultural college to make any
forward step in changing the site
of the game, as that school is the
host this season.
The action of the executive
council was the most important
development yesterday in the
move to send the game to Port
land on a benefit basis. Dick
Neuberger, editor of the Emerald,
and originator of the suggestion,
said he felt the Emerald had done
its part in making the suggestion
and that henceforth it was up to
the governing bodies of the two
colleges.
Neuberger Makes Statement
"I am glad the Emerald had the
opportunity to suggest the char
ity game,” Neuberger said. ‘‘I
feel that the paper has done its
part, and that from now on the
decision is up to those in author
ity.”
Newspapers cf the state com
mented widely upon the matter
yesterday. The Eugene Register

Speedy Half
Lost For Go
With Uclans
Ho Suffers Dislocated
Shoulder Bone
ART COUNTED UPON
Big End From Benson Tech Is
Fnt in Backfield To
Help Bobbitt
By BRUCE HAMBY
(Emerald Sports Editor)
With wrinkles In Prink Calli
son’s youthful brow still very ap
parent since Mike Mikulak's con
finement in the University infirm
ary, the Oregon coach got a new
case of forehead furrows last
night when Art Clarkson, speedy
sophomore halfback, dislocated
his shoulder and was also removed
to the campus hospital.
Clarkson's injury occurred dur
ing the final minutes of last
night’s long workout. He was hit
by two tacklers while carrying the
ball and his shoulder dislocated
where the collarbone and shoulder
blade join.
Doc Gives Verdict
According to Dr. Sante Canipa
roli, Clarkson will be out for at
least a month. This means he will
not be able to play until the games
with U. S. C. and St. Mary’s.
Callison had counted upon Clark
son heavily for the U. C. L. A.
game next Saturday at Portland.
The former Seattle star was the
fastest back on the squad. His
ability to throw passes with either
hand made him doubly danger
ous.
Scotty Smith, reserve tackle,
was another on the injury list as
a result of last night’s practice. A
severe cut over his eye made
three stiches necessary.
Butch Morse Moved
Meanwhile Callison moved Butch
Morse, reserve end, into a fullback
position in an effort to find some
one who could aid Howard Bob
bitt in backing the line. Morse
weighs 190 pounds and may break
into the line-backing berth per
manently. Bobbitt will start in
Mikulak’s place Saturday, Calli
son announced last night.
A two-heur workout in the af
ternoon and a long skull-practice
and dummy scrimmage at 7:30
last night ended the week’s stren
uous practice for the Bruin game.
A lighter workout today will end
preparations. The team leaves Fri
day morning at 11:40 for Port
land.
S3 To Travel
Thirty-three players will make
the trip to Portland. The list will
not be made up until tonight, but
it is believed that it will be almost
the same as the Washington trav
eling squad. The team will stay
at Waverley Country club.
Rhodes Tryouts
Slated for Sunday
Tryouts for Rhodes scholarships
will be held Sunday afternoon in
the graduate office at 107 Johnson
hall, it was announced yesterday
by Mrs. Clara Fitch, secretary of
the graduate school.
Every person who is interested
in taking the examination is re
quested to visit Mrs. Fitch some
time during the day to complete
arrangements.
Exact time of the examination
will be given out tomorrow. The
reason given for holding it on
Sunday is that no other time
could be found not already occu
pied by classes, seminars, or
other scheduled events.
Engagement of Bob Hall and
Marian Chapman Announced
News of the engagement of Miss
Marian Chapman, president of Phi
Theta Upsilon and member of
Mortar Board, to Robert Hail,
student body president, was brok
en simultaneously last night at a
bridge supper in Miss Chapman’s
home and at the dinner table of
Sigma Pi Tau fraternity.
No date has been set for the
wedding, the couple reported.
Sixteen friends were present at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray
Chapman, Miss Chapman’s par
ents, when the announcement was
told by bridge tallies at each place.
At the Sigma Pi Tau house the
betrothal was made known by
Harry Schenk, president. Later in
the evening Hall’s fraternity
brothers serenaded Miss Chap
man’s home.
Both students have occupied
leading positions in the activities
of the Associated Students
throughout their University car
eers. Both are now seniors.
Hall is the son of Professor and
Mrs. Robert C. Hall, his father
occupying the position of instruc
tor in journalism and superinten
dent of the University press.
