(Continued on Page Four) Grab Bill Debate Draws Big Laugh As Potwin Scoret I : Debates on the Zorn-Macphersoi I bill have been numerous in th state during the past month, bu I perhaps none has drawn a laugl . from the audience as did the on in Lebanon last week when T. E Potwin, editor of the Alban; Democrat-Herald debated Hecto Macpherson, co-author of th school-messing bill. | The debate, according to Eugeni people who were there, reachei the place where Mr. Macphersoi began to display maps showin; what he claimed to be inadequati ground facilities for further ex pansion of the University of Ore gon. On all sides of the presem campus, he claimed, were privatelj • owned homes that would cost tht * j state a fortune to purchase. Anc . I to the south, he pointed out, was ; the graveyard. i Mr. Potwin walked over to Mr . Macpherson to take a look at the map. Mr. Macpherson grew wor I ried. He feared close inspection; , of dimensions or something. "Just where is that cemetery?" queried Potwin. Hector hastened to show him, "Why—why right there,” he point ed. Potwin turned to the audience. “And there, ladies and gentlemen," he spoke, “is where the Zorn-Mac pherson bill will be buried on No vember 8!” I Wesley Council Meets at Church Renewing a custom which has been discontinued for several years, the Wesley council will meet at a breakfast in the Metho dist Episcopal church at 8 o’clock Sunday morning. The regular council meeting will be held fol lowing the breakfast, according to Donald Saunders, president of the club. Dr. Henry D.

Grant Presents Book to Law Library F. S. Grant, city attorney of Portland, presented five law books to the University law school re cently.

Macy; “Handbook of Equity Jurisprudence,” by Norman Fet ter; “The Law of Evidence in Civil Cases,” by Burr W. Jones; and “Proof of Facts,” by Austin Abbott. Satire, ‘Of Thee I Sing9 Added to Libe Shelves It’s here! (“It” meaning “Of Thee I Sing,” the Pulitzer prize winning musical comedy and novel). That happy-go-lucky farce of American political life is now available at the old libe. A political party forgets who its candidate for vice-president of the United States is—decides to abolish the usual platform and draws up one of love— stages a beauty contest, the win ner of which is to become the bride of their nominee for the presidency. These are just a few of the incidents in this take-off on modern times. October 28 Is Date Finally Chosen for 'Bunion Derby9 Two weeks from tonight the an nual derby is on! Open House has again survived the onslaughts of the males and will take its place as the biggest all-campus mix of the year. With no cars and waning enthu siasm the invading fraternity horde is not expected to be as nu merous as in former years, but the women’s living organizations are waxing their floors just the same and preening their freshmen to make the best possible impres sion. Friday, October 28, is a later date than has been observed for the past three years. Time was when Open House took place the first week-end after rush week. But after years of paddling around in the Oregon mist from 11th and Hilyard to 20th and University ; streets, the men finally revolted. Last year they demanded an all campus vote and were snowed un der by a substantial majority. Only two fraternities failed to make the rounds and entertained each other instead with an exchange dinner. '— . 1 And Here’s Some of the Local "Bike” Riders And what do we find?

Webfoots To Travel South In December Lonsiana Signs Two Year Contract CAME HERE IN 1934 Southerners Couched by Widely Known Mentor Front U. S. Military School The University of Oregon’s foot ball squad will journey 3500 miles this autumn to meet Louisiana state university in an intersection al game. The date of the contest is December 10, and the game will be played in Baton Rouge, La. Announcement to this effect was made in Portland yesterday afternoon by H. E. Rosson, grad uate manager here. He said a con tract called for a return game, to be played in this state in 1934. Whether Portland or Eugene will be the locale of the 1934 encoun ter was not specified. The site probably will depend upon the sea son's records. Council Gives O. K. The signing of the contract yes terday ended negotiations that had been in progress for almost a month. The University executive council approved the game Wed nesday. Louisiana, an outstanding team in its section, is fairly formidable, though not rated as highly as Flo rida, Tulane, Georgia and other elevens from below the Mason and Dixon line. However, Louisiana supporters are looking for note worthy results from a new coach, Capt. L. M. (Biff) Jones, who achieved fame as mentor of West Point's football forces three years ago. Jones Well Known Jones is known throughout na tional football circles as the man who developed Christian Keener Cagle, all-American halfback for three years, and himself a Louis iana product. The Oregon-Louisiana game is assured ample publicity from Huie Long, the Kingfish himself, who makes the Louisiana team his particular hobby. The Oregon team will leave here about the first of December. They will be away from the campus dur ing final examinations, and as yet no provision has been made for their taking their semester’s tests. Louisiana follows Oregon’s two hardest encounters—Southern Cal ifornia and St. Mary's. The Web foots play the Trojans November 12 and the Gaels Thanksgiving day, November 24. Louisiana has played two games to date this fall. It tied Texas Christian, 3 to 3, and lost to Rice Institute, 10 to 8. U. O. Band Will Leave For Rose City Today The University band and John H. Stehn, director, will leave this morning at 11:46 on the special train for Portland.
