U.” Tc | Succeed Hoover as Chief Executive of Nation Even Republican campaign leaders conceded the presiden tial election to Franklin D. Roosevelt late last night when the Democratic, nominee held a commanding lead over Herbert Hoover. Fate dispatches gave Roosevelt approximately 5,500, 000 popular votes to only 3,750, 000 for Hoover. G. O. P. news papers admitted that Hoover was defeated by a decisive mar gin. Ey KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—(AP) —Franklin Delano Roosevelt will bring to the White House, as thirty-second president of the United States, something of the atmosphere and outlook of youth. It is to be discerned in his voice and his buoyant temperament, his l smiling approach to most of the I problems of life, his eagerness to have a part in the active, stirring current of life and of public serv ice—an eagerness that overrode even the handicap of infantile pa ralysis when it fell upon him in mid-career. Mr. Roosevelt will not be the youngest man to be entrusted with the presidency. That honor goes to his distinguished fifth cousin, Theodore Roosevelt, who was 42 when he was inducted into office at the death of President McKin ley. F. D. Only 51 Franklin Roosevelt will be little more than entered on his fifty first year when he is inaugurated. Eleven of the thirty men who have preceded him in that high office— Tyler, Polk, Fillmore, Pierce, Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft and Coolidge — were as young or younger when they took office. Yet this democratic Roosevelt, despite his physical handicaps, has youthful qualities that will stand him in good stead in the task he faces. Through his two administrations as governor of New York, no word has ever come from the executive mansion of the arduous labors he has endured. On the contrary, he reached out eagerly to deal per sonally with every phase of state activity. He’s Like Teddy Like his cousin, Franklin Roose velt will bring to the White House also an atmosphere of family life it has not known since the days of that other Roosevelt. His own children are grown men and women, rearing families of their own except for the two youngest lads, who are well in their teens. (Continued on Page Three) | Dime Crawl Calls Popular Oregon Men For Shuffle Dime Crawl, tomorrow night from G:30 to 7:30, will offer another opportunity for Oregon men to hike and dance. Popu lar men will have many calls to make during the hour and the most popular houses will be judged by the number of dimes collected. Nancy Suomela, who is in charge of this A. W . S. func tion, states that if the men do not turn out well, the women will invade the men's houses next term, an arrangement" whicB_ was not greatly popular with the stronger sex last year. Each dime a man pays for dancing with ladies of his choice goes to support a worthy cause - the A. W. S. loan fund for both men and women students. Reymers Named To Replace Short Oil Emerald Staff Mary Lou Patrick Picked By Schenk To Fill Vacant Post Mahr Reymcrs, senior in jour nalism, was yesterday appointed advertising manager of the Ore gon Daily Emerald, succeeding Hal Short of Astoria, whose resigna tion was accepted the same day. Harry Schenk, business mana ger, declared that Short’s resigna tion was necessitated by the fact that he is withdrawing tempo rarily from school in order to take care of his printing business in Astoria. Reymers, whose home is in Klamath Falls, has been occupy ing the position of promotional manager this year. He is vice president of Alpha Delta Sigma, national advertising professional fraternity, head of the senior tra ditions committee, and has had three years of experience on the business staff of the Emerald. News of the change came abruptly yesterday. Short left immediately for Astoria, and he is not expected to return this term, although he may return for the opening of the winter quarter. Short was president of Alpha Delta Sigma, vice-president of the Interfraternity council, and last year was winner of the $150 jun i ior advertising scholarship. Mary Lou Patrick of Portland, sophomore- in business administra tion was named by Schenk to fill Reymer’s old position as promo tional manager.

Zorn-Macpherson Fighters ^ Make Statements on Election Here’s what leaders in the fight against the Zorn - Macpherson school moving bill had to say last night as election returns came in over the wire and ether. JUDGE LAWRENCE T. HAR RIS, chairman of the executive committee of the Eugene cham ber of commerce: “The primary purpose of the campaign waged against the measure was to con vey to all the people full and com plete information concerning the establishment of the University and normal schools, and the work previously accomplished and then being done by them. The people were fully informed and with that information the people justified the faith expressed by us at the meeting in the armory; for the people of Oregon have, by a de I cisive vote, condemned and reject ed the school moving bill. “Let us hope that no person or group of persons will be able to resurrect the vicious measure which is now stamped with the I disapproval of the voters of the i state. “Let us not forget the responsi bilities which rest upon us. Let us all continue to give to the Uni versity our best efforts so that we, the present students and former students and alumni of the Uni versity, may in truth say that we too have kept faith and are con tinuing to keep faith with the great commonwealth of Oregon.” * * * ALEXANDER G.

O’Brien Quits Post As Coaching Aide 111 Health Given Reason For Resignation WORK COMMENDED Assistant Mentor Was To Have Had Charge of Krosli Baseball And Basketball Squads John J. (Jack) O'Brien resigned last night ns assistant football coach at the University of Oregon. As reasons for his action he gave ill health and the subsequent fact that his doctors had ordered him to withdraw from active coaching for a considerable length of time. The resignation takes effect im mediately, and O’Brien will work with the Oregon eleven no more this season. Untl he voluntarily withdrew from the coaching per sonnel, he had acted as chief scout and end instructor all sea son. His work was considered un usually outstanding, and Doc Spears, ex-coach here, gav e O’Brien the high recommendation of being one of the best scouts in football. Jack also was a close friend of the late Knute Rockne, wizard of Notre Dame. O'Brien also was to have coached freshman baseball and basketball here. His resignation was regretted deeply by William J. Reinhart, head coach in those sports. It is expected that no successor to O’Brien will be named until af after the current football season is ended. Oregon yet has games to play with University of Southern California, St. Mary's and Loui s i a n a State university. Gene Shields, line coach, replaced O’Brien as scout and viewed the proceedings Saturday as the Tro jans drubbed California, 20 to 7. When O’Brien presented his res ignation last night, it was accept ed unanimously by the executive council, which said it regretted to see O’Brien leave here, and com mended his work at the ' Univer sity.

'Juggling Bill Smothered By Big Majority Oregon Voters Express Grab Disapproval POLL RUNS HEAVY Benton County Alone Supports Shuffling State Higher Education System Take a Rest There will be no classes today. This became assured last night when the crushing defeat of the Zorn - Macpherson school - mov ing measure appeared certain. Faculty officials previously had declared there would be a holi day if Mr. Macpherson’s bill was killed. By DAVE EYRE Voters of the state Tuesday ex pressed their disapproval of the Zorn - Macpherson school - moving bill by casting a most decisive vote against the measure. Reports received by the Emerald at 12:30 this morning gave 49,457 against and 9,101 for the bill in 596 incom plete precincts. The vote was run ning five to one against the school grab and it was predicted that fi nal count would run as high as ten to one. Benton county, in which Cor vallis located, was the only one re ported to be supporting the bill with seven precincts reporting No, 962; Yes, 1255. No landslide in that county was apparent in spite of the fact that the passing of the bill would have meant much to the neighboring district. Lane County Votes Solid The home of the University, Lane county, voted almost unani mously against the bill. Figures given at an early hour this morn ing showed 7,190 against and 164 for. The majority of precincts were incomplete. Twenty-six precincts in Marion county, which would have received the law school in Salem had the bill passed, gave 2,105 nays and 382 yeas. The bill was sponsored by the Marion County Tax Equali zation league in conjunction with Henry Zorn and Hector Macpher son. Union, Jackson, and Polk coun ties, all affected by the proposed merger, voted practically solid against the bill. Eugene will celebrate along with University students today. Mayor Elisha Large is expected to declare a half-holiday and all Eu gene will join in celebrating the overwhelming defeat of the Zorn Macpherson bill. m The fate of the University of Oregon has been decided. Fight Is Ended Oregon students, alumni, and taxpayers organized into one great body during the past five months and their united efforts went far in defeating the Zorn Macpherson grab bill. Students (Continued on Page Four) Many Students Mark Ballots For National, State Election By JULIAN PRESCOTT Students turned out in big num bers to mark their ballots for everybody from president of the United States to constable, on the Zorn-Macpherson bill and the 12 other measures. Polls on and near the campus were busy all day with townspeople and students. It was estimated by chairmen of the election boards for precincts near the campus that the. vote would be exceptionally high, with nearly 100 per cent of the stu dents eligible marking ballots. At all of the places where stu dents gather between classes on such rainy days, there was con siderable talk as to the prospects of each of the presidential candi dates and a great deal as to the outcome of the consolidation measure. Late in the afternoon when re ports began coming in from the East, showing a lead for Roose velt, the Democrats started their rejoicing. The Republicans held out, however, with the idea that the Midwest and far West would show a margin for Hoover. Many of the students were vot ing for their first time. Some were mildly excited about it. All showed unfamiliarity with ap proved methods of folding ballots. The majority took a long time marking their ballots, checking over to be sure that they had f marked the right names, the right "yeses” and noes.” Occasionally one would seem to make vigorous movements indicating erasures. And finally with a justifiable feel ing of importance, they left the polling place.
