PLACE: THE IGLOLO—1TIME: 10 A.M.- 11 A.M.
X^OUE PRESENCE at McArthur court this
morning from 10 to 11 o’clock is imperative.
At that time and place an assembly will be held,
the principal purpose of which is to further the
fight against the Zorn-Macpherson school moving
bill.
Into your ears for almost a year have been
dinned the evils of the aforesaid bill. Possibly you
’ are tired of hearing about it. Perhaps you think
the defeat of the measure is assured. Even at this
advanced date, with the November election virtually
at hand, the attitude of the student-body in general
is blase and nonchalant.
Experienced men are conducting the opposition
to the bill. They would not spend money, put forth
their efforts and time, and carry on such enter
prises as the assembly today, if the defeat of the
measure was a certainty. There is still consider
able danger that the bill might pass. The meeting
today at McArthur court is one of many projects
being planned to change a possibility into an im
possibility.
The students of the University are expected to
do their share in thwarting this vicious measure.
The least they can do is attend this morning’s as
sembly. 'M
It would be a great calamity if the people of the
state of Oregon were to abolish the University at
the polls next month. It would be a still greater
calamity if that were done because the students
themselves failed to put forth their best efforts to
avert the disaster.
PROFESSORS OF BOOKS
TT WAS none other thun Ralph Waldo Emerson,
-*■ in an essay on ’’Books,” written hack in 1856,
who said:
“Meanwhile, the colleges, whilst they provide us
with libraries, furnish no professors of books, and I
think no chair is so much wanted.”
While there is no person at Oregon dignified
by the title, “Professor of Books,” the University
is fortunate in having a staff of librarians, all of
whom are willing and anxious to help students in
their search for various types of material that are
to be found in our library.
The library is hard pressed for funds this year,
and many of its workers are carrying double loads,
but the same efficient service of past years is being
carried on.
When persons as busy as Miss Casford, refer
ence librarian, find time to address classes on the
best ways of finding and using reference material,
as she did yesterday before the class in editing, and
when every member of the staff is serving the
students to the best of his ability, we believe that
we really have some “professors of books" on our
campus.
A WORTHY INSTITUTION
T ITTLE theatres the country over luive tHe same
hard row to hoe. Competition with the com
paratively cheaper and more frivolous-minded
movies hurts their box office; struggle with the
buggaboo of scanty publicity, poor housing, insuf
ficient materials, and small treasury makes produc
tion difficult. And yet in these same littlo theatres,
maligned and neglected as they might be, is done
some of the best dramatic work to grace what
ever boards there be.
Eugene O'Neill, had it not been for little thea
tres, might not have entertained American theatre
goers, at least not so thoroughly nor for so long.
The amateur organisation is the testing ground for
new and novel material; it is the one medium open
to innovation in the field. Here can be found to
morrow's stars, and tomorrow’s playwrights. Here
can be found the new, and the daring, ami the
entertaining.
On the campus the Guild theatre plays a most
important role in the cultural life of the University.
Under the direction of Mrs Scybolt this group an
nually gives to Eugene the best dramatic enter
tainment possible. It has proven itself time and
again in the past. Announcements are out now for
the season’s program, which promises very well
indeed. And this is perhaps not so much a plea
as a promise. Our little theatre deserves our pat
ronage and support.
A VICTORY FOR 44 CENTS
A MESSAGE can make its sender famous and it [
also can help a football team win a game.
Examples of the former declaration are numerous.
Mr. Perry sent to Mr. William Henry Harrison:
"We have met the enemy and they are ours.” Mr.
Caesar communicated as follows: "I came, I saw,
I conquered." Lord Nelson flew from the halyards
of his ship: "England expects that every man will
do his duty.”
Thus, you sec, there is a double advantage in;
your sending a mertrage of good-will to the football!
team before the Idaho game Saturday. It not
only will be a stimulus to the players, but also;
might make you as f imoua as Mr. Perry, or Mr.
Caesar, or Lord Nelson, or any other celebrated1
message-sender of history.
Mr. McKevitt, our good friend of Western ■
Union, tells us a 10-word communication can be
sent to the team at the Washington hotel in Pull- ■
man, where it will stop, for only 44 cents. Ten
words from a house or organization on the campus
can mean considerable to a football eleven on for- |
eign soil, and 44 tents is not much of an investment
considering the dividends it might pay in football
results.
Oregon’s football team is just starting out, and
victories over Idaho and Gonzaga will bring it up
to the Oregon State game with a stylish record be
hind it. The players and Prink Callison are ready
to trim the Vandals, and the student-body can do
its part by sending telegrams on the eve of the
battle.
Remember—University of Oregon football team,
Washington hotel, Pullman, Washington.
ANNOUNCEMENT
rpHE EMERALD will take no stand editorially on
the charges made by Bill Bowerman last night
until Bob Hall has had an opportunity to present
his side of the situation. This paper believes any
editorial comment previous to Hall's statement
would be premature and unfair. Hall will be given
a chance to answer Bowerman’s charges in tomor
row’s Emerald.
NOW ItKAO THE CARD
npHE STUDENT paper is essential to the student
body, and finances are essential to the continu
ance of the student paper. The Emerald faces no
dire crisis in its money affairs, but the manager of
the publication has seen fit to inaugurate an enter
prise designed to increase the paper's advertising
accounts.
At the bottom of this page you will find fac
similes of the front and back of a card which the
business office has had printed. These will be dis
tributed in every living organization on the cam
pus. Thenceforth the obligation will rest upon the
students.
The Emerald's advertisers help pay for the
paper. To show these advertisers that their dis
plays are read and that their help is appreciated,
the students will be asked to leave these cards at
the establishments at which they make their pur
chases.
It is no bother or trouble to leave a card on a
counter or place it in a check that goes in the mail.
That much can the students do to further the
financial welfare of their newspaper.
ECONOMY HITS HARO
ECONOMY has hit the football team this year.
And hit it in the worst possible place. The
privileges of the managerial staff have been so cur
tailed that it is becoming increasingly difficult to
get men to turn out for sophomore manager. The
junior managers are not taken on trips any more,
and are not even offered the privilege of compli
mentary tickets to games at which their services
are not required.
At first sight this would seem a commendable
measure of economy, but its ramifications are what
make difficulty. There is far less incentive for men
to turn out for two or three years and work their
heads off, when they know that in all probability
they will never be made senior manager, and in
addition, will enjoy few if any privileges while a
junior manager. And there are few people who
care to work that length of time for absolutely
nothing.
There is a certain amount of dirty work to be
done in the handling of any team. That is the pri
mary purpose of the managerial staff. Granting
that they do it satisfactorily, we must set some
goal, some point of achievement for them to strive
towards. Let's not forget the managers.
While the team is out tossing the pigskin on
the gridiron there are three or four fellows doing
quite a bit of work, sans the glory. Let's see they
get some reward.
St. Louis is trying out the experiment of having
liquor law violators fined according to their ability
to pay. Fines range from $1 to $r>00. An excel
lent. idea. We would suggest the range be from
ten cents to a dollar for college students, however.
That a Phi Beta Kappa lives two years longer
than a football player is the assertion of a bulletin
which purports to have studied the lives of 38,269
graduates of eastern schools. Yes, but if you have
to be a Phi Beta, why live longer?
A California woman won a divorce decree front
her husband on the ground that he went for months
without a bath. Must have got his training in a
fraternity.
Students at Ohio university are threatening to
boycott Athens merchants unless their prices are
drastically reduced. That's an idea at that.
An honest man's the noblest work of Coil.—
Alexander Pope.

CARAVAN
_By DAVE WILSON_
T>RIGHT spot in a dull day:
Miss Casford, addressing edit
ing class on ready-reference works
in the University library: “This
book will give you dependable
statistics on disease, industrial ac
cidents, marriages, and all sorts
of calamities.”
* * *
Class treasurers ought to have
some kind of protection against
organized minorities. Very often
proposals for the expenditure of
considerable sums are passed
without due consideration by a
vote that represents only a small
part of the class.
Two or three years ago one
“class” voted $1,500 to a few ten
nis players to travel around to
summer tournaments. It was a
special meeting, hurriedly called,
and only a small proportion of the
members attended. But everyone
had to help foot the bill.
“There ought to be a law” is
the old bromide, but it’s good
medicine still in some cases. A
rule that no class could vote
money for any purpose until the
measure had laid on the table till
the next meeting wouldn't hurt
anything, and it might help a lot.

"Dear Dad: Please be sure to
come down for Dad’s day. We’ve
got to get a lot of you here or our

Trying to dispense a subtle
form of column-humor for this
campus is a disheartening job. An
excited film-fan rushed up to Glen
Godfrey, local theatre magnate,
after reading yesterday’s “Cara
van," and asked if it was true that
the Colonial was going to get out
an injunction against Sunday eve
ning church services.
V * *
This leads me to publish the
following recasting of yesterday’s
items:
No, it is not true that the
f
Colonial is going to get out an in
junction.
It is not true that the 24 law
school grads who passed the bar
exam were standing in a bread-line
when they got the news.
It is not true that Carlton
Spencer cancelled $50,000 worth
of life insurance when the auto
mobile ban was lifted.
It is not true that Jerry-the-Cop
was in danger or losing his job
before the ban was lifted.
It is not true that a “well
known professor” has a glass eye.
Now that I’ve made a clean
breast of it all. I feel a lot bet
ter. So must those who’ve been
taking me seriously.
* * *
Shucks, you can't expect our
rallies to be much of a success till
the week of mid-term exams.
When that time comes, just get
a fellow to whisper “rally” a
couple of times from the library
steps. Twenty-two hundred stu
dents will immediately desert
every class - room between the
music school and the Anchorage.
Today’s bon mot: “A major in
the law is seldom wild.”

gowns she wears in “The Crash,’’ ]
which was shown here Tuesday j
evening. Her costumes were de
signed by Orry-Kelly, who is j
hailed in Hollywood and Paris as
one of the greatest style creators.

She wore monstrously large and
I luxurious furs; suits that but
toned high around the throat. One
of her most striking and alluring
evening creations was of sheer
brown crepe, with hand painted
shadings. A military motif, with
which this peace-talking world
seems to be investing itself, was
carried out in a formal way by j
epaulets over the shoulders. The
epaulets were attached to the bod
ice by two pearl and rhinestone
straps.
* * *
Another evening gown, and one 1
which was almost eccentric in its
elegance, was designed in black
chiffon velvet. It clung to her fig- \
ure, molded it and then dropped
away from the knees in a long
sweeping train. The shoulder line
was dropped so that small puffed
sleeves fell just above the elbow,
leaving’ the throat and shoulders
bare. Fine black net framed the
low-cut decollette. Miss Chatter
ton completed the effect with a
long double strand of pearls.

Washington
!’ Bystander
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 19—
(AP)—If rival national com
mittee chairmen ever were found
in agreement about what was go
ing to happen in an impending
presidential election, clearly a
prompt change in one chairman
ship or the other might be expect
ed.
Campaign managers must keep
their flags flying. They must ex
ude confidence publicly, however
they may privately spur their
working staffs to greater efforts
with warnings of threatening de
feat at the polls.
Which is by way of comment on
the remarks of Chairman Everett
Sanders, republican, and Chairman
“Big Jim” Farley, democrat, which
flanked each other recently in par
allel columns of the New York
city papers.
* * *
Farley had returned from his
post-convention tour of the inter
ior and west «coast in company
with Governor Roosevelt. Exigen
cies of the New York state demo
cratic convention—for he is state
as well as national chairman, had
called this 200-pound new figure
in national politics back ahead of
the presidential nominee.
Sanders was back in New York
again after another of those
swings around the Chicago-Wash
ington-New York triangle over
which he began to wear a path as
soon as he took over his national
chairmanship. The state republi
can convention also had something
to do with his appearance, no
doubt, although not to the extent
that the democratic show involved
Farley.
For both men what was to hap
pen in and around those state con
ventions might be of vital impor
tance in the national campaign.
* * *
So news readers got the benefit
of a simultaneous blast from the
two campaign managers. And
those readers might easily have
felt as they compared the state
ments, predictions and assurances
that Messrs. Sanders and Farley
must have got mixed somehow
and each investigated the situation
in a different country. The only
thing they agreed about was that
there was going to be an election
in November.
Desert air is wet
... by comparison!
Making telephone equipment presents many
an interesting problem to the engineers of Western
Electric—manufacturer for the Bell System.
A case in point is the drying of telephone cable
before putting on the protective lead sheath. This
step is of utmost importance, for the tiny copper
wires cannot carry your voice properly unless their
paper insulation is thoroughly dried. To this end,
Western Electric engineers devised special drying
ovens in which the air is thirty times drier than
desert air!
The same ingenuity and thoroughness go into
every step of making cable, telephones, switch
boards and many other kinds of telephone equip
ment. The dependable apparatus that results is
one reason why Bell System service is dependable.
