Roosevelt Data o---o (Continued from Page One) has made a failure of his position: you ask, should we entrust the reins of government to one, per haps less skilled? But Mr. Roose velt is a man of experience and ac tion. He has inculcated his prac tical and practicable theories into the government of his own home state of New York with unusual success. He is the man of the hour. He can deal with people and all their individual idiosyncra sies. And above all, he is the change that American capital needs to re invest—to push forward the great tide of American business again. A. vote for Roosevelt will be a vote j for a change.

County Unit School System Found Superior by Surveys Under the county unit plan of school administration as found in Klamath county buildings are bet ter, teachers are better paid and better qualified and general effi ciency is higher than in Lane county, where the district system is in effect. Yet the cost per pu pil is actually lower in Klamath county. These are actual facts estab lished by An exhaustive survey conducted during the past year by Dr. C. L. Huffaker and his assist ants of the bureau of educational research of the University of Ore gon. The survey in no way showed that the schools of Lane county were inferior, for by actual tests high school students in important subjects, with the lone exception of English, were markedly supe rior to the average of the United States as a whole. Taking 50 as the average, Lane county students fell five points below in English, but ranked 54 to 68 in other sub jects, with an actual average of 53 for small schools and 63 for larger. Actually, the current education al expenditure for elementary schools of the Klamath county unit is $5.29 less per pupil than Lane coimty district schools (out side of Eugene, Springfield and Cottage Grove) yet Klamath coun ty has better schools, better equip ment, provides more transporta-1 tion and pays higher salaries to more experienced teachers with superior training, the survey shows. One of the most important fac tors accomplished by the county plan is the elimination of inequal-1 ities in training pupils. In one district in Lane county each pupil has but ?31 spent for his educa tion per year. In a neighboring district each pupil has the amaz ing total of $624 spent on the same kind of education per year. Under the county unit plan this huge inequality would be eliminat ed. In Lane county one district has $259 wealth per pupil, while another has $71,971. Eight dis tricts have less than $800 per pu pil and five have over $40,000. The survey also shows that the teaching load in Lane county ele mentary schools is 14.6 pupils, while in Klamath county it is 21.1 pupils. Since it is held that effi cient teachers can teach 25 as well as 15 pupils, the great difference in efficiency is shown. The survey plainly shows that better trained teachers, better equipment and better educational facilities of Klamath county unit system are producing marked re ^(aaEisMajsisiaisjajajaaEMaMMEiasi^i!is,MiMEisjSMEj5iaEMEiEjaiaM3iei®i| Service!

After taking into consideration such factors as age differences, pupils of Klamath county have a general advance of about one-half year over the ele mentary pupils of Lane county. Another significant fact is that there is a considerable differential between large and smaller schools in Lane county, while those in Klamath county are more nearly uniform, thus giving many educa tional advantages to the pupils in smaller schools. Statistics were carefully gath ered and every phase was handled with as much accuracy as possible in the survey. The results, with complete tables, have just been published by the University of Oregon press, and the booklet is available to school administrators and others interested, it is an nounced. Yeomen Discuss Plans For Open House Night The Yeomen, independent men’s organization, held a brief meeting last night in which plans for open house were dis cussed. It was announced that the organization was to meet at the Y. M. C. A. hut at 7:00 and proceed from there to the first sorority scheduled on their list in a body. Plans were announced for a smoker to be held shortly after the Oregon-Oregon State game. The finance committee spoke concerning the sale of member ship tickets in the Yeomen and requested that all independent men join in the group, so that the proposed programs may be carried out. NOT ONLY “TOMMY’—BUT ALSO CAL, STATES PARKS (Continued from Page One) ery made in the office of the edi tor of the Emerald yesterday. Mr. Hitchcock was third-degreed for four hours, but he stuck steadfast ly to his story. Neuberger broke four chains over him, Gale jumped on him, and Neuberger threw his size 12s into his face as a climax, but still the young man refused to be wverved. So firm was he that at last Emerald staff-members be gan to realize that maybe the young makeup editor was related to the mighty, after all. And so it developed. Parks offi cially stated that he is a third cousin of Coolidge and a fourth cousin of the greatest polo player ever produced, Thomas Hitchcock. Jr., world war hero. When asked if he w'ould rather be a polo star or president, Parks answered: “I would rather be right than either, to partially quote from Lincoln.” • •. * “Were you related to him?” somebody- asked. “You’ll be tell ing us next that you knew Hanni bal." “Perhaps I did,” said Mr. Hitch cock. All Sorts of Repairing Done Ou SHOES First Class Work CAMPUS SHOE SHOP Week-End Finds Two Conferenee Games Scheduled Southern California Plavs ' California Bears on November 8 Coast Conference Standings Friday’s Schedule At Corvallis- West Coast Army vs. Oregon State (night). Saturday's Schedule At Eugene -Gonzaga vs. Ore gon. At Seattle- Whitman vs. Wash ington. At Los Angeles—Stanford vs. U. C. L. A. At Pullman Montana vs. Wash ington State. At Berkeley Nevada vs. Cali fornia. By NED SIMPSON With only two football confer ence games scheduled for this 1 coming week-end Stanford vs. U. ! C. L. A. and Washington State vs. Montana—Pacific coast conference teams will take what are sup posed to be breathing spells. Southern California, 1931 con ference and national champs, take the week off to prepare for the invasion of the California Bears on November 8. The Trojans de feated Stanford’s Indians last Sat urday in the coast’s biggest upset. Moving up the coast we find Oregon playing the Gonzaga Bull dogs—a team which has beaten Idaho and held Washington and Oregon State to close scores. The Webfoots showed a much better brand of football in defeating the Idaho Vandals 32 to 0 last Satur day. The Gonzaga tilt is not to be considered an easy game and sports observers expect the Bull dogs to give the Ducks a run for their money. Huskies To Meet Whitman The Washington Huskies take on the Missionaries from Whit- | man in what should turn out to be ; a rout for the heavier Huskies. | Phelan's eleven came out on the j short end of a 7-6 score in their , game with the California Bears at Seattle. This was the first confer ence win for the Bears, who meet j Nevada in a non-conference game. The Oregon State Beavers, after losing out to Washington State by one point, will play West Coast Army team of San Francisco in ' Corvallis Friday night. The Bea- ! vers have been playing in bad luck all season, and last Saturday the point after touchdown was the margin of their defeat at the hands of the Cougars. Idaho To Be Idle Idaho has no game scheduled for this week-end, taking a badly ■ needed rest after three hard con ference contests and one non-con ference fray with Gonzaga. Her near neighbor, Montana, goes to Pullman for one of the two con ference contests listed for this Saturday, and Washington State should have an easy time of it in winning from them. Moving down the coast again, we find Stanford mixing it with the U. C. L. A. Bruins. The Bruins, ! to remain in the conference run ning, must take the Indians’ meas ure. If Stanford wins, the South ern California Trojans will be the only undefeated team in the coast conference. I So. Calif. jU. C. L. A. .Wash. State l Stanford . I Oregon i.

Traditions To Be Strictly Enforced By Senior Group Mahr Reymers, chairman of the senior traditions council, announced today the completed enforcement committee which Consists of the following mem bers: Bill Morgan, Harry 'Schenk, Willie Johnston, Bud Pozzo, Bill Palmer, Dutch Clark, Sterling Green, John Mans, Herb King, Jean Grady. Chuck Gillespie, Orville Bailey, John McCulloch, Doug Wight, and Ed Crhikshank. "These men are to be known as the senior 15 and will en force traditions to the letter," said Roymers. “Our boys are checking up to the very limit and stnet enforcement is slated from now on so I warn those who do not know the traditions to become acquainted with them or they will meet Bill Morgan, chief hacker." Article oil Child Labor Requested As a basis for a drive to secure ratification of the child labor amendment in both state and fed eral constitutions, several states and organizations have sent in re quests to the sociology department for copies of the "Federal Regu lation of Child Labor in Oregon,” written by L. S. Cressman, pro fessor in sociology, and Edna C. Spenker, dean of girls at Silver ton, Oregon, who is working for her master’s degree in sociology. The article appeared in the July edition of the Commonwealth Re view, of the University of Oregon, college of social science, and has received considerable attention from the national child labor committee in New York city. It dealt with a study of the vote in the Oregon legislature on the reso lution of the federal congress to add another amendment to the constitution in order to give con gress the power to regulate child labor, and showed that the loss of the bill was not due to politics, but was defeated by the votes of the rural interests of farmers, and small town business interests. The city and professional interests, as represented by Portland, and ex pressed at the last session of the state legislature were strongly in favor of the amendment. Analysis of the vote for Oregon was used as a foundation for the campaign of the national committee. I Spencer Named Associate Editor Carlton E. Spencer, professor of j law and chairman of the faculty auto enforcement board, was no tified recently of his appoint ment to the board of associate ed itors of the "Educational Law and Administration” quarterly.

Chambers, editor of the magazine. “Knowing of your competency in the field of educational-admin istrative law. as evidenced by your excellent article on "Legal Aspects of the Non-Resident Tuition Fee," I am prompted to ask you if you will consent to the addition of your name to the list of associate editors of this journal,” the letter stated. The list of the associate editors of the magazine includes the names of men prominent in education and educational administration. The magazine is devoted to legal aspects of educational questions.

Movie Notes I. By BOB GUILD McDONALD — “A Successful Calamity.” COLONIAL — ‘‘Lady With a Past.” REX — ‘‘Thirteen Women.” McDonald Says faithful man Connors (Grant Mitchell), "the poor don't get to go much.” This is the key note of this highly farcical treat ment of a many-millionaire’s mon ey troubles (fictitious). Because the poor don’t get to go much, Henry Wilton, super financier, played by Arliss, pulls a gigantic bluff on his family, gets their un divided support, and incidentally makes another million with his hocus. ( It turned out to be quite good entertainment. Arliss turns in his usual competent performance, and is ably seconded by Evelyn Knapp (daughter), Mary Astor (wife), and William Janney (son).
