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.
The change in place from Skin
ner’s butte, where it has been held
in past years, was necessitated be
cause of the elimination of the
noise parade and downtown rally.
Morry Winter, chairman of the
freshman fire, has announced the
following committee: Bill McNutt,
assistant chairman; Bunny Butler,
business manager; A1 Nielson, as
sistant business manager; Bob
Thomas, material; Ben Bowman,
construction; A1 Hoxworth, guard;
Jack Miller, publicity; and ,Chet.
Beede, cleanup. Work will begin
early Thursday morning.
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.
Work on Homecoming signs
should be well under way by now,
Larry Fischer, chairman of signs,
has announced, as they must be!
completed and the budget turned j
in by 6 o'clock Friday evening. |

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

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.

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

It was up to U. C. L. 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.
