A.W.S. Loan FundGives Students Aid Cash on Hand Now Equals More Than $1100 Foreign Scholarship Aid Will Be Dropped; Other Activities Are Continued Three years of hard work by executives of the Associated Wo * men Students are now helping | scores of students to remain in school. Starting from scratch in 1929, the aggressive successor to the Women's league has built up a cash fund of $1175, all of which is now available to students at nominal cost for short term emer gency loans. No high-powered “drives” have been staged to win this very con siderable sum from a harrassed student body. It has been cleverly and painlessly extracted through 'mum sales, “Dime Crawls,” “Ko -Ed Kapers,” theatre programs, and other activities planned and pushed by the leaders of the A. W. S Scholarship Fund Dropped Outside the creation of the $1100 loan fund, the A. W. S. treasury has been able to finance a year’s course of study for two foreign scholars, at a cost of $750 apiece. This expenditure has been discontinued this year in the be lief that the needs of our own stu dents are paramount as far as the disposition of funds is concerned, f Ronald Robnett, assistant grad uate manager, became financial adviser for the A. W.' S. at the same time that class budgets were placed under the supervision of the Associated Students’ executives. Officers Listed Present officers of the A. W. S. are Louise Webber, president; Emmabelle Stadden, vice-presi dent; Caroline Card, secretary; and Katherine Briggs, treasurer. These executives are planning a year of activity which they hope will add $600 to the emergency loan fund. uur mum sales nave aireauy begun,” said Miss Webber last night. ‘‘The first Dime Crawl will be held on November 9, and plans are now being made with local theatres for shows sponsored by the A. W. S.” The A. W. S. Carnival, an inno vation of last spring which netted about $150 will be repeated this spring with every prospect of in creased profits. I -; Women Organize Club for Hoover For the purpose of arousing an interest among the University wo men in the re-election of Herbert Hoover, for president, a club was organized Tuesday evening at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow, by Mrs. D. H. Near, of the Eugene women’s Hoover-Curtis club, by authority of the National Republican com mittee. Virginia Wentz was elected president of the group; Emma Bell Stadden, secretary; and Marguer ite Tarbell, and Valeria Talcutt committeemen. One more com mitteeman is to be appointed by the president. Mrs. Arthur A. Rogers, promi nent member of the Eugene wo men’s club, spoke on "Why I en dorse the Republican administra tion,” at the meeting held at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the Y bungalow. The only requirements for mem bership are that a student be 21 years of age, or over, and regis tered to vote at the coming elec tion. Cosmopolitans To Have Get Together All students and faculty mem bers on the campus will be invit ed to attend an informal reception given by the Cosmopolitan club on Tuesday evening, October 25, from 8 to 10 at the International house. This is an annual affair, and will be the first event spon sored by the Cosmopolitan club this year. According to Miss Thelma Nel son, publicity manager, the recep tion is for the purpose of acquaint ing students with the work of the organization whose goal is to cre ate better understanding among people of all nations. Lois Greenwood, president of the club, will act as general chair man of all committees, and Helen Binford is in charge of the pro gram. Decree in Sociology Received by Sheldon Henry Sheldon, a graduate of the University of Oregon in 1924, has received a Ph.D. degree in so ciology at the University of Wis consin, and is now occupying the position of research fellow in sta tistics at Wisconsin, according to word received on the campus. He is the son of Dr. H. D. Shel don, chairman of lower division so cial science on the campus. He took his master of arts degree in history from Oregon in 1926. For the past year he has been teach ing in an Indiana college. Student Drivers Appear Again on College Campus A faint revival of the good old days before the ban was ob-, served on the campus last night. Fourty-four cars lined one side of the street between Friendly hall and Oregon. Many more were parked before Col lege Side and Taylor’s, arid the men's and women’s houses showed a goodly number. Inspector Rhinesmith’s Essex was present as usual, but failed to inspire its wonted terror. Timidly at first, but with ever increasing boldness, the student driver is beginning to emerge from his lair, and it looks as if he would be returning en masse at the end of the Thanksgiving holidays. Bishop Sees Old Pals in Showing Of Culver Movie A one-man homecoming was staged here last night when Chuck Bishop, sophomore tackle, attend ed the showing of “Tom Brown of Culver” at the Colonial theatre.' Bishop graduated from Culver Military academy in 1931, shortly before the picture was filmed there. “The show follows life at Cul ver very closely,” Bishop said. “I: have sat in ‘bull sessions’ with all the fellows shown there. That is just as it is really done. "Sure, we drilled like that. This picture shows everything but the long hours of studying and the athletics.” All members of the cast were Bishop’s classmates or his instruc tors, with the exception of the few leading characters. The exterior scenes were 'taken on the campus and not on sets, Bishop said. They are a highly accurate portrayal of the life at the military school. The film will be showing at the Colonial tonight also. Story by Allen in Oregon Motorist “The Fourth Road to Oregon,” an article by E. W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, appears in the last issue of the Oregon mo torist. In it, Dean Allen describes the route he and his family took on the way home from California this summer. They came up through deserts and pueblo lands of the southwest ern part of the United States, see ing Imperial valley, below sea lev el, the Salton sea, and a desert “where 107 degrees in the shade was called a ‘relief from the heat’,” among other interesting things. A search for variety on the long trip to Oregon brought the Allens through this interesting country. They had gone over the Pacific, Redwood, and Coast highways many times. They were looking for new sights and they found them. Dance Petitions Have To Be Filed Petitions for all house dances must be filed with the dean of women’s office at least one week before the occurence of the event, it was announced yesterday by Alice B. Macduff, assistant dean of women. The names of at least three cou ples of patrons and patronesses must be included in the petition. The official list of appropriate pa trons may be consulted in the dean of women's office by social chair men who wish to select patrons. One couple must be in attendance all evening at every dance. Chaperons must have been in vited and their acceptances re ceived before petitions are filed. Each house is allowed four danc es each year, but other social func tions such as teas need not be pe tioned for. YWCA TO FLOOD SCHOOL SOON WITH DONUT SALE (Continued from Faye One) and between Commerce and Ore gon buildings and a unit of girls will offer fresh donuts from these points, under the direction of Nan cy Suoniela. The donuts are the ! product of the Korn bakery, which I has furnished them during past j sales and promises the freshest and best made in their Mill street I ovens. On the following Thursday a house sale will be conducted by Marigolde Hardison, who is at w'ork with a committee preparing this section of the campaign. Do ! nuts will be sold during the half 1 of the Gonzaga game Saturday, October 29. and from^.a booth in McMorran and Washburne. House to house canvassing has 1 been discontinued this year, but the Y. W. is conducting an inten sive sales campaign among busi ness and social organizations of Eugene. To complete the project, donuts will be furnished for many * campus social events during the | coming weeks. Graduate School Enrollment Shows Slight Increase Incomplete Figures Reveal 180 Registered,’ Drop Shown at O. S. C. While all of the other divisions of higher education in Oregon as now organized under the state board of higher education have j fallen off from 18 per cent to 30 per cent in enrollment, the frac tion of the graduate shool left on the campus at Eugene shows a 6'»j per cent increase over 1931 32, according to figures given out by Dr. George Rebec, dean of the graduate school. Of the three former divisions J of the graduate school of the Uni versity, only two are left this year 1 with the removal of pure science j from here to the Oregon State; college. At the close of the fall j term, last year, registration in1 those divisions and departments which are still left at Eugene was 169, of which 95 were men. To date, this fall, the enrollment, though not entirely completed, is 180, of which 106 are men. The natural science division, now situated at Corvallis, does not share the prosperity of the de partments left at Eugene, but shows a decrease, this fall, from th£ 47 graduate students enrolled last year, to 37 registered at pres ent, as reported by Hr. E. B. Lemon, registrar of the Oregon State college, to Dean Rebec. Of these 37, Mr. Lemon estimates that 27 were transfers from the University; eight of these, while registered in the school of science at Corvallis, are actually on the University campus, acting as graduate assistants in the depart ments at Eugene, a plan devised to keep down the cost of instruc tion here, without interfering with the standards of work. Pre-Legal Smoker Set For 8 o’CIock Tonight! Preparations are completed for ; the pre-legal smoker this evening j at 8 o'clock at the Craftsman club, j This is the first meeting of the year and the committee in charge invites all students who have in tentions of being law majors as well as pre-legal students. Dean Morse of the law school will give a short talk. Preston Gunther, president of the law school student body, and Otto Frohnmayer, editor of the Oregon Law Review, have been invited to attend. George Hibbard, chairman of the affair, stated that a few short skits will furnish the entertain ment. Refreshments will follow after the meeting. Committee Named | For Senior Gifts Inadequate research on the part of class members has resulted in the “tabling” of the senior class’ proposed gift to the University of Oregon, and the appointment of a standing committee for inves tigation of the disposal of the seniors’ assets, amounting to $1,100. This committee, composed of Virgil Langtry, James Travis, Dorothy Esch, and Charles Stry ker, will look into possible sug gestions for the class gift, and re port at the next meeting, at which time a vote will be taken. The two suggestions being con sidered at the present time are a bust of the late Dean Straub I and the donation of the money to 1 the loan fund. Spanish Glass Formed By Mrs. Juaii B. Rael! A Spanish class is being-organ-1 ized by Mrs. Juan B. Rael for a small group of children whose par ents are interested in having them learn the language by means of conversation and play. Mrs. Rael has consented to teach Spanish to pupils at the re quest of several parents. The children will meet at her home at 1740 James street, near Columbia at 25th, after school hours for one or two afternoons a week. Mrs. Rael's children speak Spanish and will meet with the group to take part in its activities. Anyone interested in the work is asked to call Mrs. Rael at 1381-RX before Saturday if possible. Young Democrats Will Meet at Eugene Hotel Enthusiastic young Democrats on the campus, within the ages of 18 and 35, will be given a chance to show their party loyalty tomorrow night at the first meet ing of the young democratic league of Eugene. This gathering has been called for 8 o’clock in the grill room of the Osburn hotel, and anyone, regardless of previous party affiliations, is urged to attend.

Heads of houses are requested to urge all members of their or ganizations to attend the as sembly. VICE-PRESIDENT CLAIMS PREXY GRABS’ POSTS (Continued from Page One) sit by and watch the president run what virtually amounts to a dictatorship. If Hall is to be a second Mussolini, let him say so, and I will meet him on those terms. "My personal opinion is that the president of the student body should delegate some of his work to other officers. If a vice-presi dent is unnecessary, why elect one ? To date my only duties have been to attend meetings and take charge of the mechanical re sponsibilities of the elections." Bill Asks Consideration Said Bowerman as he continued: “One of the reasons which Hall gave for the slipup in the fresh man election amendment fiasco last spring was that he had con siderable work to do when he re turned from Los Angeles. Why, then, does he try to run the whole show in the student body?” “I would like to be given some consideration in the making of appointments. To date I have re ceived none. I feel, that as vice president of the student body and chairman of the music committee, I would like to have some voice in student affairs. I hope that Hall will at least mention the matter to me when he makes his next major appointment. “In conclusion, I would like to say that I have nothing whatso ever against Bob Hall personally. I am his friend and hope to con tinue to be. I only hope that he will not try to make the running of the student body a one-man job.” Iliinl Time—One Dime First-Class SHOE-SHINE Frank Webb’s LEMON-O Shining Parlor 1st Class Work Shining, Cleaning, Dyeing 1285 Alder Near 13th Freshman Girls Frolic At Annual Get-Wise Meeting Last night at the Women’s gym freshman women and their counsellors were entertained by A.

II Ivy-covered walls of buildings Mottled sunshine, shifting shade Cast enduring spells about us Which with years can never fade. We have heard you, Alma Mater And we love you when you call As you whisper through the fir trees 'Round historic Deady hall. III We have sensed your noble pur pose, We have glimpsed your shining goals, And we’ll fight like Spartan sol diers When you call for valiant souls. We have heard you, Alma Mater, And we surge to meet your call, And we'll battle for your honor, That your fame shall never pall. I IV Oregon, our hopes are with you, i Seeking laurels bright and new, Spreading fame on land and ocean, Till the dream of years comes true. We have heard you, Alma Mater, And we thrill to hear you call, We will rise to hail you mighty With a soul transcending all.

Sth Ave. | ^.mMUHlMmuifimnMMiitiiitfftnniir i't 'T-'H‘“twiHii‘ - Movie Notes COLONIAL “Tom Brown at Culver.” MCDONALD “Movie Crazy.” HEX “Washington Masquer ade.” STATE “Flying F6ol." Colonial If you're patriotic, you'll like this. Flags wave, bands play, trumpets toot, and Tom Brown makes good in a rather large way at Culver. Just the same, and more seriously, it was a distinct relief to see this show. Not a sub deb sequence was there, and only an occasional lapse into sentimen tality. Slim Summerville did a fine job as the reminiscing restaraunteur. H. B. Warner (why do I always want to call him Warwick Deep ing?! was father and a serious, understanding characterization he gave. Richard Cromwell remem bered from "Tola'ble David”) did good work of hisn part as Tom Brown's roomie; and Tom Brown played himself as only he could do it. You'd like to see this, not I only because it reminds of the days you couldn't live without the i Rover brothers, but because, as once said, it is a distinct relief. McDonald “Movie Crazy” turned out to be a little strenuous, but a good eve ning's fun—Merton of the Movies has been done before, but this time we are beholden to the Lloyd variations for our fun. rather than to the story. It’s his screamiest picture in years. Here's a bit of statistics- -the audience was clocked for one con tinuous laugh of 17 minutes dura tion. This beats the old Laurel and Hardy record by four seconds, set in their laugh episode. Believe that? Or should we “yell”? This sort of thing can be carried too far. We suggest a ride against shows being funny enough to keep us from hearing the next crack. Kellogg Delivers Address Before Science Meeting Dr. Remington Kellogg:, assis tant curator of mammals at the United States national museum at Washington, D. C., and research associate of paleontology of the Carnegie institution at Washing ton, delivered a public address on “The Anatomy and Habits of Whales” at Condon hall Tuesday evening. The lecture was given under the auspices of the local chapter of Sigma Xi, national science honor ary, and a special invitation was extended to the Corvallis chapter. Dr. Kellogg, who is recognized as the oustanding authority in the United States on' whales, liv ing and dead, has spent two weeks on the campus reconstructing and sketching a fossil discovered sev eral years ago on the Newport i beach by Dr. Packard. I The Washington scientist ex | plained that the fossil found by i Dr. Packard is the head of a pre ! historic whale some ten million I years old. The dimensions and de I scription, according to Dr. Kel I logg, are to be published at a later I date in a Carnegie publication. Doan Schwering Will Talk to Frosh Co-eds | _ Dean Schwering will discuss I “The Social Side of College’’ be I fore the freshman group at the .Westminster house at 9:45 Sun ! day morning. Such problems as those arising j from the ceremonies of dating, : the financial side of dating, and ihe reason freshman girls are giv en such a rush, will be considered I by the dean. SCHUYLER SOUTHWELL TELLS OF TRAVELS (Continued from Parte One) : pressions of Oriental architecture j were. "The most striking feature to ! me was the harmony between the ' buildings and the landscape. I ; found out later that the colors and ; contours of the temples and finer buildings had been planned to blend | in with the surrounding country. 1 It made the buildings look as though they felt at home. “Much of the architecture ex presses the philosophy of the peo ple. One sees ancient altars be fore which century after century of men have knelt. Herein lies the poignant charm of the East. The new civilization has preserved the past with a reverent affection. ‘Honor thy father and thy moth er,’ is the inborn creed of all Ori entals. “The jewel of the whole was Pe king, which stands resplendent under a load of a thousand years. Here T visited the palace of the imperial family, the Forbidden City, as it is called. The last ruler, Pu Yi, was forced to flee to Tien tsin during the revolution and is now ostensibly the head of Man chuoko. Of special interest here was the display of exquisite jew els, gifts from foreign diplomats to the royal family. “Through the courtesy of Mrs. Warner I had the pleasure of din ing with Dr. and Mrs. John C. Fer gusson, an authority and critic of Oriental art. He conducted me personally throughout his own mu seum, which contains many rare pieces of art.’’ I queried him about the Oriental women. He must have noted them carefully, for he answered enthu siastically. “They are lovely as their litera ture describes, especially the Chi nese women of high rank. They are tall and slender and display their figures with the pride of Oc cidental women. Their clothes are a happy medium between Euro pean and Chinese styles. Striking color combinations, especially pur ple, are worn without fear. Of unusual note is the custom dating from Athens, of splitting the skirts from above the knee to the ankles. This is supposed to in crease the rate of marriages. America has gone one step better and merely cuts off half the skirt. “If anyone has the opportunity to travel, I would suggest the Orient,” Schuyler stated in con clusion, "if he is interested in get ting a new outlook on the prob lems of today and an understand ing of the oldest philosophies in the world.” The sketches and painting which he did while on his trip will be on display in the art school after Christmas. i'.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii mini ilium iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiuil mu iitiilill'' The SHEER BEAUTY of KAYSERS New Fit-All Top Silk HOSIERY Will Appeal to You Instantly In Dull Chiffons or Service Weight In the New Colors for Autumn Wear and Priced— $1.00 The BROADWAY INC. 30 East Broadway StlWHIIIMWIWlMIMlIIIHm..

Pacific Greyhound Lines Education Board Plan To Select New Secretary E. E. Lindsay May Kesign Post; Business Man To Be Appointed Directly in line with previous moves to put the administration of higher education in Oregon on a more nearly strictly business ba sis, a business man of executive ability rather than an educator will be employed to fill the post of secretary of the state board of higher education to succeed Dr. E. E. Lindsay, it was learned from authentic sources today. Dr. Lindsay, who will be retired either next July or earlier, pend ing further action of the board, was employed June 26, 1930, at a salary of $7,r>00 a year and waa given a three-year contract. Lindsay Resignation Expected However, despite the fact that his term as secretary would not ordinarily expire until June of 1933, the board may deem it feas ible to make the change prior to the termination of the contract, and in this case his resignation would be expected, it is reported. By giving Dr. W. J. Kerr, chan cellor of the institutions of higher Darning, complete authority in administration, which action the board took in Portland Tuesday, the secretary is automatically re lieved of many of his powers and the position thus relegated to one of relatively minor importance in the process of directing the vari ous institutions. This action, interpreted as a di rect move against the secretary’s activities, was followed yesterday with information that Lindsay’s! resignation would be requested if not forthcoming. Two moves were also taken by the board to promote further economy in its operation. An at tempt will be made to secure the new official at a lower salary, a $4,000 a year figure having been suggested as ample for the posi tion. In case a competent man can be secured for this sum a sav ing of $3,5Q0 would result. As a further gesture toward economy, a complete reorganiza tion of the offices of the state board of higher education in Sa lem pends the appointment of the new secretary, it was learned. Thirty-one persons are being em ployed by the offices of the board at the present time in addition to operation of business offices at all five state institutions of higher learning. Such reorganization, eliminating many offices and cen j tralizing control in Salem, would I result in material savings, it ia ‘ thought,
