Dad’s Day Edition VOLUME XXXIV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1932 Dad’s Day Edition NUMBER 23 Homecoming Fire To Blaze Friday Night Victoria Heights Chosen For New Setting NOISE PARADE OUT Huge Conflagration Will Bo Seen By Crowds at Frosh-Rook Football Game Alumni and students will be greeted Friday night by a huge bonfire on Victoria heights as they enter the grandstand for the an nual frosh-rook football game.

A flare fire of yellow and green, suggested by the Homecoming directorate, was voted down em phatically by the ambitious frosh last week/ However, the admini stration has allowed only two days for construction, so the first year men will not be distracted for such a long period as in former years.

Football Players Robbed of Money During GU Game Sneak Thief Goes Through Pockets; B. Hughes Is Heaviest Loser Thieves who entered the dress ing rooms of football players last Saturday during the Gonzaga game, took more than $60 worth of cash and personal effects from the clothing of five players. The ma rauders entered the basement of McArthur court during the game, and found the door to one of the dressing rooms had been inadvert ently left open. They apparently rifled the pick ets of everyone, but their victims were numbered, as most of the players had turned in their valua bles to the keeper or had not brought any money with them when they came to change clothes. Bernie Hughes, first string cen ter, was the heavy loser, $35 in cash being taken from his pockets. Orville Bailey, star varsity end, lost his watch. The remainder of the losses were in lesser amounts. Hugh Rosson, graduate mana ger, stated yesterday that the au- i thorities were working on several clues, and that a determined ef (Continued on Page Three) Capacity Crowd Entertained By University Orchestra The capacity crowd which filled the music auditorium Sunday af ternoon was renewed testimony for the popularity of the Univer sity Symphony orchestra in the campus musical program. Under the direction of their vet eran conductor, Rex Underwood, ' the sixty and more members of the orchestra presented a varied concert which held to a consist- ! ently high plane of musicianship. The large proportion of the or chestra which has had one or more years of orchestral experience was ■ largely instrumental in giving this opening program of the year a finished performance. Howard Halbert, as the soloist i in the featured Mendelssohn con certo for orchestra and violin drew increased applause after each of the concerto's three move ments. Already far above the lev el of the average amateur violin- 1 ist, Halbert shows steady progress each year toward a brilliant ca reer. The interspersion on the pro gram of three numbers for small ensembles proved a popular inno vation. A small chamber orches tra, consisting of strings, flutes and French horns gave delicate and graceful treatment to two movements of a Mozart serenade, and a smaller group presented Liadow arrangements of two Rus sian folk-songs. The two compositions presented by full orchestra were well done. The strings carried most of the burden in the opening Mendels sohn overture to ”Ruy Bias,” a composition of restrained power with a skillfully vigorous finale. The French horn section was out standing in the concluding Weber overture to “Freitschutz.” A Moral Obligation (Editorial) CEVERAL of the young men on the Oregon football team suffered considerable losses Saturday when their per sonal effects were rifled in the locker-room at McArthur court. The culprit lias not yet been apprehended. There is little likelihood of the stolen articles and money being returned. The school carried no insurance to protect property taken under such circumstances. The Emerald strongly recommends that the finance committee and the executive council take immediate action to reimburse the athletes for their losses. That the cash and other valuables were stolen is no fault of the football players. They were on llayward field, engaged in a battle with Gonzaga, when the culprit committed his depreda tions. The athletes who left their clothes in the room that was invaded were told it was not necessary to place their be longings in lockers. They were informed that the room proper would be locked. When they returned from the field, they found the door open, and considerable of their property missing. One player lost $35—enough to feed and house him for a month. Another lost a valuable watch, one he received for a high school graduation gift. Various other articles were gone—rings, wallets, pins, and watch charms. Neither the players nor the A. S. U. 0. is responsible for this deplorable occurrence, but it seems incumbent up on the latter to make good the losses to the former. Al though the thefts sustained by several of the athletes ran into considerable money, this paper believes the associated students should not hesitate in reimbursing the players. Such action is obviously the proper thing to do so long as there remains a single dollar in the A. S. II. 0. treasury. We hope those in authority will see fit to agree with us. Donald Sturman Speaks At Wesley Club Sunday Donald Sturman, graduate assistant in the department of philosophy, talked to the Wes ley club Sunday evening on "What is the Value of Ethics and Morals." A worship service, preceding the talk, was led by Donald H. Saunders, president of the club. The service fol lowed a social half-hour, which began at 6 o’clock.

Present Plan Fully Backed By Chancellor Dr. Kerr Speaks Before Oregon Dads STARR ALSO TALKS Addresses by Educational Men Features of Program for Visiting Fathers Speaking before 500 “Oregon Dads,” gathered at the annual banquet Saturday night, Dr. Wil liam Jasper Kerr, chancellor of higher education, declared that he was in sympathy with the policy of the state board to preserve the identity of each of the institutions under his charge and to utilize each campus to its utmost capa city. W. Lair Thompson, president of the Oregon Dads, acting as toast master, hailed this statement as settling all doubt as to the attitude of the chancellor toward such shifts as those proposed in the so called Zorn-McPherson bill. The audience rose and cheered when Mr. Thompson said, “Dr. Kerr is opposed to any such changes.” The chancellor’s statement fol lowed statements of policy made by C. L. Starr, president of the state board, who did not directly attack the bill, but assured the dads that the board plans called for preserving the University and the other institutions in their tra ditional capacity. Kerr Outlines Plans In outlining the plans of the state board, Dr. Kerr said, “The object of the state board for the coming biennium will be to give the youth of the state as fine an education as is possible under present economic conditions. “It is realized that economy is the great need today, and condi tions in higher education will be governed accordingly. The insti tutions will conduct their business entirely on funds from the millage and other funds such as student fees, and will not ask the legisla-* ture for any money this year. “The single higher education board has proved its ability to cope with conditions today. When the referendum cut off legislative appropriations in 1931 which would probably have meant shut ting down the medical school and the normals, the single board was able to re-allocate funds and keep all divisions going. “The board has been successful in eliminating duplications, rang ing from 22 to 50 per cent in many cases, and has substituted for competition, harmony and cooper ation. With this objective, I feel that the higher education in Ore gon is well on the road to success and will be supported By the people of the state.” V. L. Starr Speaks Mr. Starr, speaking for the board, declared that the present program of the board’s is the re sult of three years of study and investigation and is designed to utilize to the utmost efficiency the physical plants of the institu (Continued on Paije Two) Emerald Wants Solicitors The business staff of the Emer ald is handicapped by a lack of ad vertising solicitors.

A. to up set the dope in the Coast confer ence race Saturday. Its startling victory over Pop Warner’s Stan ford Indians keeps the Bruins deadlocked for first place with the mighty Trojans of Southern California. Each has three victor ies and no defeats. Starting the game on the short end of the odds, the Bruins played the first half in a listless manner, but when the second half opened it was a different team that came out to meet the big Red machine. They unleashed a passing attack that swept the Stanford defense off its feet to yield two touch downs. At Berkeley, California found little resistance from the Wolves of Nevada and rolled up 38 points without having their goal crossed. California is now tied for fifth place with Oregon and Washing ton. In the north the Washington (Continued on Page Four)
