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.

| 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.

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.”

John J. 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.

Big Majority

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

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.
