Brown Covers
Whole State In
Merger Fight
Alumni Secretary Wars
Since Last Spring
MILEAGE IS 10,000
Support Built Up for University
In Many Towns Visited
Throughout Oregon
By JULIAN PRESCOTT
Up and down and across the
state are the trails of Alexander
G. Brown, his auto, and his work
against the Zorn - Macpherson
| school-grab bill. There are just
about 10,000 miles of these trails.
Last spring, on May 4 to be
exact, Brown started his work as
alumni secretary. Since then, he
has been building up support for
the University in towns and rural
communities from Astoria to On
tario, from Boston to Milton-Free
water, and from Hood River to
Klamath Falls and Lakeview.
j Between Eugene and Portland
he has worn a track into which
the tread of his tires almost fits.
But all of it wasn't just sitting
in a car driving.
Many Visits Made
In every town there were many
alumni and civic leaders to be
visited. Each one had to be
talked with, his support assured.
| and a supply of anti-consolidation
I information left with him. And
the majority of them had offices
upstairs and were out the first
time.
Then there were chambers of
commerce to be told all about the
iniquities of the measure. These
talks had to be worked over fre
quently so that they would not
sound like a worn out phonograph
record or a radio anhouncer speak
ing his ditty on smellier and wet
ter gasoline.
In the rural communities, there
were farmers’ wives, who are the
center of activity in the commun
ity, to be shown how they would
be affected should the University
be moved to the college campus.
The farmers, themselves, when
they take a large part in grange
work, were also contacted.
Varied Experiences
Brown’s equipment on the trip
was car, a portable typewriter,
two suitcases of clothes (clean on
the way from Eugene), and all the
pamphlets and other printed infor
mation relative to the school
shuffling bill that could be put
into the car.
All this 10,000 miles of driving
did not go off without accident or
trouble, either. Up in Athena a
great big brute of a sedan bullied
Brown’s little car clear off the
street and into the bank building.
Casualties were: injured left knee,
demolished left running board,
fender and rear wheel, bent axle.
Because of the delay for repairs
to the car and his knee, Brown
did not get to go to Elgin and

Sheldon Will Continue
World Religion Series
Henry D. Sheldon, chairman of
the social science department, will
continue the series on cqmparative

David Foulkes Is
Honored at Close
Of 45 Years’ Duty
David Foulkes, mechanical su
perintendent of the Morning Ore
gonian, and one of the founders
of the Oregon Dad's association,
was honored yesterday upon the
completion of his 45th year in the
I service of the Portland newspaper.
At a meeting in the composing
room of the paper, Mr. Foulkes
was presented with a gold watch
by O. L. Price, manager of the
Oregonian, in behalf of the em
ployees of the publication.
Mr. Foulkes joined1 the Oregon
ian staff in 1887 and rose rapidly
to the post of mechanical super
intendent. He was exceptionally
active in the University of Oregon
Dad’s association for a number of
years and was a good friend of Dr.
Arnold Bennett Hall, president of
the University.
Jitney by Plii Psi
Wins First Place;
Friendly Second
Homecoming Sign of Delta
Takes Third Prize
This Year
Phi Kappa Psi took first prize
in the Homecoming sign contest
with a lively rendition of the
Toonerville Trolley That Meets All
the Trains, which is hastening to
ward the Ad building, loaded with
alumni. The trolley is kept in con
stant rocking, lurching motion and
is lit by a swinging lamp inside.
The whole ensemble is surmounted
by the slogans: "1876 to 1932 and
They're Still Coming Back,” and
"Back to Fight for Oregon.”
Second prize went to Friendly
hall, whose display features two
football players, one of very an
tique vintage, shaking hands. The
mustached and obvious looking
Old Grad stands on the square
head of an Oregon State player.
Above the two figures, who shook
hands vigorously through last eve
ning and probably will still be able
to do so this evening, there is a
slogan which reads: "1895 . . 44
to O 1932 . . . ? ? ?.”
Third prize was given to Delta
Tau Delta, whose spirited knight,
mounted on a dappled grey horse,
rode toward a castle under the
words, "Back To Fight for Ore
gon With That Crusading Spirit
of Old.”
Honorable mention was awarded
to Chi Omega and to Pi Kappa Al
pha.
The three winning signs will be
used as features of the decorative
scheme at the Homecoming dance
tonight at McArthur court.
‘Fireside Fancies’ To
Be Offering by Evans
Taking into consideration the
annual Homecoming event, John
Stark Evans has arranged a “Fire
side Fancies” program for his
weekly organ recital at the music
auditorium tomorrow evening at 5
o’clock.
The concert will include “A
Cheerful Fire,” “The Wind in the
Chimney,” “Grandfather’s Wooden
Leg," “Grandmother’s Knitting,”
“The Cat,” “Old Auntie Chloe,”
and “The Kettle Boils.” Two
other numbers will conclude the

Unfinished Symphony” by Schu
bert, and "Piece Heroique” by
Cesar Franck.
Students Need Radio
To Hear Game Today
Two students will miss the
football classic today unless
someone offers a radio for the
day. Robert Gantenbein and
Kenneth West are still under
treatment in the infirmary, too
ill even to get out of bed, but
they do want to hear the game.
Will someone who has a table
model radio call the infirmary
and notify them that it may be
used for the day? It will be
called for and returned in per
fect condition.
State Championship

Paid Today Noon
Today at noop is the deadline

By BRUCE HAMBY
A football rivalry that flourished
in the days before Teddy Roose
velt rode up San Juan hill will be
renewed for the 36th time this af
ternoon. When the warriors of
Oregon and Oregon State line up
on Bell field at 1:30, they will
continue a gridiron tradition start
ed in 1894.
Weather conditions identical to
those which prevailed on a stormy
autumn afternoon two years ago
are expected to give Oregon and
Oregon State college a soggy grid
iron to play on this afternoon.
Wild Will Went Wild
On that date a determined and
inspired Oregon State eleven
crushed the Webfoots, 15 to 0.
Curly Miller, who ends his grid
career this afternoon, and "Wild
Will” McKalep, all-coast end were
heroes of that game. They teamed
to block two Oregon punts, both
leading to Orange touchdowns.
Last year the weather was cold
and moist, but Hayward field was
firm and hard for the 0-to-Q bat
tle staged by the teams of Paul
Schissler and Doc Spears. In that
game, both teams fought fiercely
but cautiously, and neither came
within scoring distance.
Today the Webfoots are given a
slight edge over their traditional
rivals by virtue of a more impres
sive season record. Oregon has one
victory, one defeat and one tie for
a percentage of .500, while the
Staters are at the bottom of the
conference standings with three
losses.
Poundage About Even
On a basis of weight, the teams
are at a stand-off. The power of
Oregon’s heavy backfield is more
than balanced by the flashy pass
ing attack and punting of the Bea
vers. Offensively and defensively,
the forward walls are on a par.
For the first time since the San
ta Clara game at the start of the
present season, Oregon will have
the services of its first string
backfield. Stan Kostka and Mike
Mikulak, powerful backs, are
back in the starting lineup after
several weeks on the bench. With
them will be Bill Bowerman, quar
terback, and Mark Temple, triple

Fate of University of Oregon
Depends on Voters of State
By ALEXANDER G. BROWN
The fate of the University of
Oregon now rests with the voters
of the state. Their decision as to
whether the Zorn-Macpherson bill
shall become an actuality or mere
historical incident in the struggle
for growth by a great educational
institution shall be the measuring
rod by which the alumni shall
know how well they have done
their task of heeding the call to
arms of their alma mater.
Win or lose, the alumni have
been a material force among those
opposing the bill. Willingness to
work has been practically unani
I mous, and the spirit of coopera
tion manifested has in itself been
tribute to the University and the
Alumni association. No institu
tion could ask a more whole-heart
ed and unselfish devotion from its
graduates than shown by Oregon
alumni during this critical period
in the history of the University.
A secondary issue in this cam
paign, aside from merely defeating
the bill, has been the desire on the
part of those who seek the mainte
nance of permanently high stand
ards of higher education in Ore
gon, to see the overwhelming de
feat "6f this measure which would
act as an ultimatum to legislative
