Zero Hour Is Near For Fate Of University (Continued from Payc One) burden the taxpayers with extra expense for what would be in ferior schools. Cooperation Needed 'If this program is carried out by every one of the 7,000 alumni in the state, it will mean that 140,000 voters will have been contacted by Oregon alumni — a generous one third of the registered voters of the state. Another flank of the battle lines —Eugene townspeople—are carry ing on a similar aggressive cam paign. At a mammoth assem blage held at the Eugene armory last Wednesday evening, several thousand citizens pledged them selves to active and concentrated work toward the defeat of the bill. The keynote of the meeting was the demand that the fight be carried on to the last minute be fore election. Bailey Stresses Importance Edward F. Bailey, ’13, one of the principal speakers, used a football illustration to make his point that the last days of the campaign are of vital importance to the outcome of the election. “If the football game with U. C. L. A. held in Portland last Satur day had been only 59 and three quarters minutes long, Oregon would have won. But it was 60 minutes. And Oregon lost,” Bailey said, “i believe we have the fight won today, but unfor tunately, the election isn’t being held today. The few days between now and election day will be the hottest part of the fight.” Tugman Speaks William M. Tugman, editor of the Eugene Register-Guard, was the other principal speaker. He outlined the progress of the cam paign in various sections of the state and assured the assemblage that there was a great deal of work yet to be done. Admission to the meeting was granted in exchange for a letter written to some out-of-town friend urging opposition to the bill. The University band played a few numbers, and the Eugene Gleemen sang a new Oregon song written by Dean James H. Gilbert and composed by John Stark Evans, director of the Gleemen. Misrepresentations Cited As an instance of the sort of misrepresentations being sent out from the Zorn-MacPherson camp, Bailey told of how these promoters are claiming that the University buildings are old, ramshackle, and about to fall to the ground. “And yet in the same breath,” he said, “they claim that the teachers' college proposed for Eu gene will soon have as many stu dents as the University. And they will occupy the same buildings that they say are about to fall down.” Architecture Grad Has Work Abroad Thomas Louis Hansen, ’30, who was recently appointed head of the department of art and architecture of the Overseas Educational insti tute, left September 14, to join the institute in France. Mr. Hansen received his bache lor of architecture degree from the University in 1930, and while at the University was awarded a scholarship from the Massachu setts Institute of Technology in its graduate school of architecture. He also has done graduate work at Harvard university. Janet Young, ’14, in Play Janet Young, ’14, is playing in Eugene O'Neill's “Mourning Be comes Electra’’ in New York. She is expected to be on the Pacific coast next spring on tour with the play. Miss Young is widely known in theatrical circles in the West and has appeared in Eugene a number of times.

Bailey said in a, brief talk outlining the purposes of the or ganization. “The University is in politics and it has been in politics ; for years, but we haven't realized ; it. I care not what you call it— : whether political or not—this or ganization can defend the Univer- | sity and promulgate measures to I uphold it.” Mr. Bailey urged that the or ganization be enlarged until it be came state wide and while not de signed to take the place of the alumni association, it is being pro- i moted as an auxiliary association which can include parents and friends and be available for de- j tailed work for the University.

Family Mail “I am looking forward to re ceiving the weekly edition of the Emerald, Dr. Carl G. Ashley, B. A., ’27, M. D., ’31, writes from Chicago, where he is connected with the Presbyterian hospital. “We are passing through a criti cal period, and distance seems to make me all the more interested in the latte developments. Chicago is a fascinating city, but not such a good place to stay in forever. I have contacted a number of Ore gon alumni around Chicago. In Chicago proper I have seen Dr. Ed Ricen, ’28, M. D. ’31; Dr. Irene Grieve, M. D. '32, and Dr. Fred Templeton, M. D. ’31 On a trip to Cleveland, I visited Dr. John F. Renshaw, ’28, M. D. ’31, and Dr. Ivan Ingram, ’26, M. D. ’29. In Madison I found Dr. Murray Burns, ’28, M. D. ’31; Dr. Asahel Hockett, '26, M. D. ’29; Dr. Calvin Yoran, ’26, M. D. ’29; Louis Greene, ’27, M. D. ’28; Dr. Irving Tuell, '28, M. D. ’32; Dr. Alex Ross, M. D. ’32, and Dr. Bessie Heald, M. D. ’32.” Winifred E. Weter, ’29, 5642 JDrexel avenue, Chicago, Iill., re cently returned from a six months’ trip to Europe. “Nine weeks were spent in Greece,” Miss Weter writes, “a country fascinating to me as a student of the classics, and interesting for its natural beauty as well. While in England, I spent a few days in Oxford and called on Mrs. Consuelo McMillan Larrabee, former house mother at Hendricks hall, and her small son, who was then four weeks old. Ths was the middle of September. Up ; on my return I found some Old Oregons awaiting me and was dis tressed to read in the May num 1 her that the magazine has been suspended. But then I came to an Emerald and found it was pleasant to see the paper again so the loss of Old Oregon is not without its compensations. “I heartily disapprove of any such movement as is now under consideration by persons who cer tainly do not have at heart the axiom of ‘the greatest good to the greatest number.’ D. T. Avvbrey, ex-'77, Junction City, recently wrote to Edward F. Bailey. “The efforts now being put forth by the alumni to counteract ahe actions of those arch-enemies of our most worthy institution are certainly most timely and in order, and I sincerely hope they may be sue cessful in stemming the tide of destruction now being launched by those who apparently have not the best interest of our state at heart.” “The alumni edition of the Em erald surely gave me a shock when I learned that two of our dear friends, Dean Straub and Mrs. Susan Campbell, had died. It took me a while to realize that they had physlcallv left our dear old campus, but tueir spiritual in- j fluence will always be felt. How fortunate we ‘alums’ are to have j known two such remarkable peo ple,” Ruth E. Woughter, ’29, writes j from Edgar, Montana. The writ- ; er is now in her third year as teacher in the Edgar high school and has a sister, Helen, who is a i freshman on the campus. ❖ * * “Have been working for the Holland Furnace company as of- j fice manager in one of their Seat tle branches since the first of April,” Laura Clithero, ’30, writes.

Stephenson is “on the road” for the Armstrong Cork company, 803 Terminal Sales building, Seattle, and is a frequent visitor in Eugene. :Jc # * “I have been following every possible bit of news of the Zorn Macpherson bill and congratulate you on the progress you have made,” a very flattering letter from M.
