HOOVER VOTE ROOSEVELT TODAY THOMAS VOLUME XXXIV Only 4 Sports On University Slate For Year Council Voles To Drop Other Activities BOOK PRICE DOWN Oregana To Cost Only $4.50; Pictures To Be 20 Cents; Music Group Meets Only four sports will be under ^ the supervision and sponsorship of the A. S. U. O. in the current school year. These sports will be football, basketball, baseball, and track. The decision was reached at an executive council meeting yester day afternoon. The principal rea son given for the move was that the University is unable to ar range adequate playing schedules with conference schools, other col leges of the Northwest having dropped minor sports before Ore gon was forced to do so. The only so-called “minor” sport last year was swimming, golf and tennis having been dropped previ ously. Swimming cannot be called a minor sport with propriety be cause major letters were awarded for participation. Council Urges Participation However, the council did vote to permit any group of students that | f wishes to form a minor-sport team to participate under the name of the University, providing all the scheduling is done through the regular channels, in this case the graduate manager’s office. The council, headed by Dr. James H. Gilbert and Professor Herbert Crombie Howe, pointed out that it wished to urge stu dents to take part in athletics, and that if satisfactory non-con ference schedules can be devel oped in the future, the group may vote to give minor letters for com petition in swimming, golf and tennis. From $5 to $4.50 The Oregana, University year book, also was discussed, and it was decided to lower the price from $5.00 to $4.50. It also was arranged to charge only 20 cents for student pictures for the year book, instead of $1.00 as has been the cost in the past. These two reductions will lower the cost of the Oregana $1.30 to each student. Also adopted was a report of the music committee, headed by Bill Bowerman, and the meeting ad journed promptly at 5:56. Bob Hall presided. Vannice To Head Dance Committee _ Louis Vannice has been chosen junior class chairman of the jun ior-senior dance which will be held November 10 or 11. The appoint ment was made by Neal Bush, junior class president, at a meet ing last night in Villard hall. The junior committee will be an nounced by Vannice in a day or two. So far a senior chairman has not been selected. When both com mittees are appointed they will work together in making the dance a success. Last year the junior class set a precedent to have the dance an annual affair. Tire dance will be | restricted to juniors and seniors only, but underclass dates may attend. The place and price are yet to be determined. f’hese three men, perhaps the best known in America at present, come before you figuratively j today iw the Emerald’s straw poll on the presidency of the United States. Left to right: President j Herbert C. Hoover, Republican; Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democrat; Norman H. Thomas, Socialist.

Postcard Attack On Hashing Move Is Said Successful Twenty Thousand Mailing Pieces Distributed Over State Members of the Eugene postof fice staff bit their lips and mut tered little oaths yesterday after noon, but they knew it was their small part in defeating the Zorn Macpherson school moving bill and they liked it. postcards went down the mail chute yesterday afternoon. They were collected at living organiza tions at noon and taken directly to the alumni office where they were prepared for mailing. It is conservatively estimated that 2,000 more of the pasteboards were mailed individually by A. S. U. O. members. Students cooperated in the ad dressing of the cards to their full est extent and, considering the size of the project, the campaign was one of the most successful ever handled by University people. Vigilantes in charge of the work were enthusiastic over the returns of the work. Students conducting the cam paign were Adrienne Sabin, Mary ellyn Bradford, Carol Hurlburt, Violet Walters, Louise Webber, Jane Kanzler, Helen Binford, El len Sersanous, Marian Chapman, Helen Osland, Phoebe Greenman, Fred Hellberg, Jean Grady, Dick Neuberger, Bob Hall, Sterling Green, Keck McKean, John King, Dave Wilson, John Yerkovich, Charles Clay, Cecil Espy, and Ed Schweiker. Why I Will Vote for Hoover By DALE FISCHER 'T'HE TARIFF is the thing that -*■ is protecting the greatest in dustry of the Pacific coast. The fifth greatest industry in the United States in number of men employed and ranking high in scale of wages paid. This means much to the people of the state of Oregon. Who supports this tariff which is the life of this great industry? Not the Democrats and their great champion of showmanship, Frank lin Delano Roosevelt. Today and tomorrow the people of the North west must depend on the Repub lican tariff. Could any industry compete with so-called convict labor? Even if it is not convict labor, would any reader care to eat dried fish and soy bean bread? The writer of this article would not. * * * The majority of the readers of this article are primarily inter ested in education, and has the Mr. Roosevelt mentioned any one thing in regard to his educational policy of the American youth?

Maurice Winters, in charge of l the bonfire, explained the value of j a chance from Skinner’s butte to Victoria heights, and the novelty of the use of colored flares in place of the traditional wood fire, j but, when the motion was forced | to a vote, it was definitely decid ! ed to retain the traditional locale and method for the fire. Winters said that plans for the bonfire will get under way in the near future.

Whyl Will Vote for Roosevelt By NATHAN BERKHAM rpHE fact must be faced that the * man to be elected president of the United States on November 8 1 will be either Herbert Hoover or Franklin Roosevelt. It is the dutv ,1 of every citizen to examine and - j scrutinize carefully just exactly what these men have done while in - public office, what they claim they t will do if elected, and then to de - ; termine which man should be en r trusted with that lofty position. d i It has been claimed that any ; man can be elected president of o the United States. When one ex 1 amines the records of the last 12 years, with all the scandal, with I all the smoke-screening tactics, with all the ballyhooing, and with the three men who had been elect ed to that office, one can easily grasp the true significance of the statement which is so often quot ed to prove the true democracy of America, However, by our system of elections held every four years, we have a method whereby a man who proves himself unworthy may be peacefully removed and one who has proven himself worthy of such a position may be installed. The Republicans ask to be giv 1 en a chance to restore prosperity. (Continued on Page Three) Hail! Queen Louise l Crowned ! I The annual Y. W. <’.

Straw Vote Being Taken on School Mixing Measure Mystery Shrouds Sponsors Of Preliminary Poll On School Bill Students are having difficulty in accounting for the mystery shrouding the straw vote on the iorn-Macpherson school scram bling bill which came into Eugene ihrough the mail Wednesday. Eu gene residents receiving postcards Wednesday asking for their stand m the measure. They were re quested to return the cards to room >27 Pacific building, Portland. The School Tax Saving associa ion conducting a state-wide cam paign against the measure, has of fices in the Pacific building, room 318. However, when called by phone yesterday, Amedee Smith, chairman of the association, could offer no solution to the mystery. Voters may conclude that the staff of the School Tax Saving as lociation is so busy educating the people of the state on the evils of the Zorn-Macpherson jittering bill that they have no time to take a itroll down the hall to see who is taking the preliminary balloting m the measure. The cards received by Eugene people read as follows: "In the in terest of higher education and economy in Oregon we earnestly request that you check and return the attached prepaid postcard stating position on an initiative bill entitled ‘Bill moving univer sity, normal and law schools. Es tablishing junior colleges.’ This is generally known as the Zorn Macpherson bill.” Although proponents of the straw vote are not known, voters receiving cards are urged to indi cate their stand on the bill and mail the cards to the Portland ad dress. Ex-Oregon Professors Visitors at University E. L. Packard, dean of the sci ence schools, and Leo Friedman, professor of chemistry, both of Corvallis, were at the University of Oregon early this week, visit ing the science departments, i Beth professors were formerly : teachers on the Eugene campus, but were transferred to Oregon State when the upper division sci i ence departments were moved j there. 27 Men Chosen To Assist With Balloting Today rpHE following 27 men will please appear at the Emer ild office promptly at 12 o’clock noon today to assist in the con ducting of the straw presiden tial poll: Bill Bowerman Orville Bailey Robert Hall Hal Short Johnny Marrs Otto Vonderheit Jim Travis Gor'don Day Dick Neuberger Ned Kinney Sterling Green Thornton Gale Cecil Espy Oscar Munger Bruce Hamby Neil Bush Rolla Reedy Bob Guild Parks Hitchcock Harry Schenk Julian Prescott John Yerkovich Butch Morse George Bennett Dud Lindner Dave Wilson Ned Simpson English Journal Prints Articles of Hoho Speech Notice of publication of an ar ticle entitled "The Growth of In terest in Conversation” has been received by Robert T. Oliver, grad uate assistant in the speech de partment. The article appears in the college edition of the English Journal, October, 1932. Students Will Cast Votes On National Race Balloting To Take Place At High Noon THREE IN CONTEST Living Organizations and Co-op To Be Scenes; Hoover, Thomas, Roosevelt Candidates Final plans for the Emerald presidential poll of campus opin ion on the forthcoming national election were announced last night by Dick Neuberger, Emerald edi tor, who is in general charge of today’s straw vote. A great deal of interest has been shown in the straw balloting and it is hoped that a large and comprehensive vote will be taken under the sys tem to be inaugurated today. Men will canvass all living or ganizations at noon, and collect ballots. All students who do not eat lunch at these organizations will be given the opportunity of voting at the University Co-op between 12:00 noon, and 1:00 p. m. This is contrary to advance information which stated that the balloting balloting would be held at the Journalism building. The Co-op was selected, according to Neuberger, to give more students an opportunity to participate, be cause it is located more conveni ently than the “shack.” Students to Assist Farks Hitchcock, sophomore in journalism, will be in charge of the polling at the Co-op. Others who will assist in the conducting of the vote are: Bill Bowerman, Orville Bailey, Robert Hall, Hal Short, Otto Vonderheit, Jim Trar vis, Sterling Green, Thornton Gale, Oscar Munger, Bruce Hamby, Rolla Reedy, Harry Schenk, Julian Prescott, John Yerkovich, Butch Morse, George Bennett, Dud Lind ner, Dave Wilson, John Marrs, Gordon Day, Ned Kinney, Cece Espy, Neal Bush, Bob Guild, and Ned Simpson. Final dope that was gleaned from other straw ballots over the country was highly contradictory. California and Minnesota polls showed Hoover leading by an im pressive majority. The final re sults of the Literary Digest poll give Roosevelt 41 states and 1,473,446 votes to only 7 states for Hoover and 973,367 votes. Thomas Wins at Penn Finally from the University of Pennsylvania symposium straw vote comes the news that Thomas scored an easy victory with the other three parties (including the Communist) deadlocked in a near tie for second place. On tlje cam pus, however, odds were in favor of Hoover, although the other two parties are menacing the famed Republican solidity. Also of interest is the fact that Leland Stanford university is also holding a straw vote today. This should be of interest in the na tional eye, as it is the alma mater of the incumbent, Mr. Hoover. Blais News Editor Of Oakland Paper Merlin Blais, radio editor of the Emerald last year, and graduate of the school of journalism, is now news editor of the Northeast Call, independent weekly at Oakland, California. The publisher and editor of the newspaper is George R. Thompson, who graduated from the school of journalism here in 1931. Why I Will Vote for Thomas I * — By MILDRED WIDMER i Y reason for voting for Thom i as is t\fro-fold. Not only do I believe him to be the outstanding man among the presidential can didates; but I also believe that the Socialist party needs strengthen ing and increased support. Too long have the Socialists been identified in the public mind with the loud-crying protesters of the streets, the radicals who pro claim vigorously that "the world owes me a living.” Many of these radicals, communists, and anar chists have sought protection at various times under the guise of Socialists, but the true members of the party have no sympathy with these movements. * • • During the past decade, with its ultra-conservatism, many quiet, thinking individuals, whose prin cipals are entirely socialistic, have refused to identify themselves with the organized party for fear of being ostracized by their con servative friends. They realize that the present economic system has its insurmountable limitations (Continued on Page Three)
