Bill Says He Was Not
Consulted on Choices
WANTS NEW DEAL
Quarterback Wanted To Head
Athletic Group; Avers He Was
Made Music Chief
By PARKS HITCHCOCK
Charging- that Bob Hall, stu
dent-body president, had appoint
ed himself head of all the impor
tant A. S. U. O. committees, Bill
Bowerman, vice-president of the
student-body and varsity football
quarterback, last night issued a
statement to the Emerald in which
he assailed what he termed were
the president’s “autocratic” meth
ods.
"Hall has appointed himself
chairman of all the major student
body committees and has given
myself and the other officers
scarcely any voice whatsoever in
the conducting of the govern
ment,” Bowerman said. “He is
chairman of the executive council,
the publications committee, the
athletic committee, and the stu
dent relations committee.”
4 Committees Not Headed
Continuing, Bowerman charged
as follows: “There are only four
committees which Hall does not
head. These are the finance com
mittee, of which Jim Travis is
chairman; the forensics commit
tee, of which Cap Roberts is
chairman; the building committee,
of which Otto Vonderheit is chair
man; and the music committee, of
which I am chairman.
X icailic LIlcL L LI1C L.UI1S LI L ll L1UI1
specifies that the president shall
head the council, the publications,
and the student relations com
mittee, but why Hall should ex
tend his authority to include
jurisdiction over the athletic com
mittee is beyond by comprehen
sion.”
Asked for Job
Bowerman continued: ‘‘Before
the committees were appointed
last spring, I asked Hall to con
sider me for the head of the ath
letic committee, inasmuch as that
was the line in which my major
interest was centered. His answer
was to appoint himself. I was
named head of the music commit
tee. I know nothing about music,
and considered it poor judgment
on Hall’s part to name me to that
position.
“Since Hall has been in office
he has not consulted me about one
appointment. I have not been
given any consideration in the
managing of the affairs of the
government. The first thing I
knew about the personnel of the
homecoming, rally, and Dad’s day
directorates was when I read
about thefa in the Emerald.”
Dictating Is Charged
Bowerman continued: “I was
elected vice-president of the stu
dent-body by the students.. I do
not think I will be fulfilling my i
obligations to my constituents if I ^

For Entrainment Rally
At Station Today
Every member of every living
organization on the campus is
asked to be at the raiload station
at 4 o’clock today to join in a
giant rally when the football team
entrains for Idaho, according to
Cecil Espy, chairman of the rally
committee.
“When the band takes control
at 4 o'clock, we want to hear
2,000 voices break into ‘Mighty
Oregon’,” Espy stated. “We also
urgently request that the Order of
the ‘O’ cooperate with us by ap
pearing in force, as their presence
materially aids the enthusiasm of
the crowd.”
It is announced that there will
be no serpentine. Students are
requested to use every method of
conveyance available in order to

Gleemen Introduce Oregon
Loyalty Song at Mass Meet
“We Have Heard You, Alma
Mater" is the title of the new Ore
gon loyalty song introduced last
night for the first time by the Eu
gene Gleemen at the mass meeting
held in the Eugene armory.
Words for the song, which has
been completed and utilized to
serve as a plea for the conserva
tion of the University, were writ
ten about three years ago by
James H. Gilbert, dean of the col
lege of literature, science and the
arts. The music was composed by
John Stark Evans, professor of
music and director of the Eugene
Gleemen.
The completion of the song oc
curred a few weeks ago w’hen the
existing conditions of impending
danger to the University prompted
Mr. Gilbert to urge Mr. Evans to
write the music. The words of the
song recognized the debt owed by
the University to the pioneers that
founded it, and the obligation to
carry on and conserve the institu
tion that came as the result of
their sacrifices.
The four verses of the song fol
low:
I
Pioneers have builded nobly
Seeking truth that men be free;
We will keep what they have left
us
Sacred for the years to be.
We have heard you, Alma Mater
And revere you when you call,
We will grasp the to^ch of learn

Oregon Emerald
Business Heads
Unfold New Plan
Stores To Be Convinced
Of Advertising Value
In School Paper
A plan to convince Eugene mer
chants of the effectiveness in ad
vertising in the Oregon Daily Em
erald was unfolded by the Emer
ald business staff last night.
The new idea is to have stu
dents and faculty members pre
sent patronage cards to the local
merchants while making any
purchases. The legend printed on
each card reads: “Your advertis
ing placed in the University of
Oregon Daily Emerald brings re
sults. Our patronage is an appre
ciation of your cooperation with
the Emerald and the University.”
The card slogan is, “Influencing
3,500 Moderns.”
Five thousand cards have been
printed and will be distributed to
all living organizations on the
campus, independent students and
faculty members. The object of
this drastic decision is to have
every student present a card to
the merchants whenever a pur
chase is made.
The purpose is to get more ad
vertising in the Emerald and to
show appreciation to those adver
tisers who have cooperated with
the Emerald and the University.
To make this effective, it is neces
sary to have 100 per cent cooper
ation on the part of the students.
In urging the students and fac
ulty to use these cards, Harry
Schenk, business manager, said,
“It is absolutely essential that
these patronage cards be placed
and used, otherwise the Emerald
will be forced to undergo a dras
tic change.” A list of all present
Emerald advertisers will be post
ed in the living organizations so
that students will be able to know
who the advertisers are when they
make purchases.
By next June from 25 to 50
thousand patronage cards will be
printed. A similar idea to this
plan is being used at the Univer
sity of Washington. From re
ports, the system has increased
local advertising to an astonish
ing degree.

Tradition Day To
Mark Opening of
High Court Reign
Wayward Frosh To Be Told
Of Prevailing Customs
On Oregon Campus
Beware, frosh!
Today is tradition day. Every
Thursday for the rest of the school
year, will be designated as such
for the purpose of acquainting all
new students with traditions on
the Oregon campus. During this
day, members of Skull and Dag
ger, sophomore men’s honorary,
will stalk the carnptis in search of
wayward yearlings, who see fit
to violate any of the clauses in
the Oregon code of freshman eth
ics.
The movement, sponsored by
Bob Hall, president of the asso
ciated students and chairman of
the senior court of traditions, was
started, not as a means of meting
nit punishment to careless fresh
men, but as a medium through
which the few remaining tradi
tions, which have been handed
down from generation to genera
tion on the University of Oregon
campus, may be preserved. In
reprimanding offenders, the sopho
mores will not carry a threat of
mmediate punishment, but if the
standards laid down are not con
formed to in due time, the wrong
doer is subject to being haled be
fore the senior court of traditions
which is scheduled to hold its fiirst
session of the year a week from
today. For the remainder of the
year, the court will meet once a
week.
Today the men wearing skull
and dagger emblem will be on
hand to explain to new students
all the virtues of wearing green
lids; saying “hello” to every one
on "Hello Walk,” the location of
which has been changed from that
on the west side of Deady to the
walk which extends from the li
brary to Villard on the west side
of Pioneer Square; and refraining
from smoking on the campus, pig
ging at athletic contest, walking
under an umbrella with a girl,
carrying a girl’s books on the cam
pus, permitting a mustache to
adorn the uper lip, stepping on the
Oregon seal in front of Villard
hall, sitting on the senior bench,
and wearing cords, moleskins, tux
edoes, or hats.

The Igloo doors will be open to
receive students and faculty mem
bers who will assemble to hear
Judge Lawrence T. Harris, chair
man of the executive committee
of the Eugene Chamber of Com
merce, give plans for fighting the
Zorn-Macpherson school moving
bill which is on the November 8

Judge Harris will not give a re
sume of the facts and figures con
cerning the bill, but will explain to
students the part that they must
play in defeating the measure. His
talk will officially open the final
student drive against the school
grab bill.
i\nows university" History
Judge Harris is well informed
on the school situation. He grad
uated from the University in 1893
in a class of 12 people. Since that
time he has followed constantly
the growth and development of the
institution. His record in political
annals of the state has been an
outstanding one.
When elected to the legislature
in 1901 Judge Harris secured for
the University its first increase
in appropriation. In 1903 he was
chosen speaker of the house in the
legislature, after which he served
10 years on the circuit bench of
the second judicial district. In 1915
he became a judge in the supreme
I court in which capacity he served
until 1924, when he resigned to
practice law in Eugene.
Since the first developments on
the Zorn-Macpherson bill Judge
Harris has been one of the strong
est opponents to the measure in
the state and has done much ex
cellent work in combatting pro
ponents of the school grab.
Bob Hall, president of the A. S.
U. O., will call the assembly to
order. Art Potwin, alumni direc
tor of the student anti-merger
campaign, will introduce Judge
Harris in the absence of Lynn S,
McCready, finance chairman of
the chamber executive committee.

Schuyler Southwell Tells of
Extensive Travels in Orient
Hy CYNTHIA LILJEQUIST I
“The East had always held a I
strange fascination for me, so, of
course, I was mighty pleased
when I had the chance to go. The
unusual thing about it was that
as I drew nearer the mystery did
not vanish but deepened. It sort
of impelled me to find out every
thing.”
Schuyler Southwell, fifth year
student in the architecture school,
was speaking. Last spring he won
the Murray-Warner essay contest,
a trip to Japan and China, on his
essay, "The Interplay Between
Oriental and Occidental Architec
ture.”
“My lot consisted of $500 cash.;
I decided to live as frugally as (
possible and shoot the sum on j
studying architectural galleries, I
and by places of interest. Accord-1
ingly, I shipped third class, ac
companied by Dr. Harold Noble, of
the history department.
“It proved to be the wisest
thing I could have done,” he con
tinued, “for I found myself in
company with 30 Chinese students
who had received their M. A.’s or
Ph.D.’s from the outstanding uni
versities in the country. They
were on their way back to China
to teach and made the journey ex
tremely interesting for me. They
were vastly intelligent men and in
troduced me into eastern customs
and philosophy. Also, I picked up
a smattering of Chinese customs,
sufficient, anyway, to hold my
own with the merchants and not
be taken as so many Americans
are.”
