Delta Zeta First
In Oregana Drive
Delta Zeta was the first house
to go over 100 per cent in the
1933 Oregana subscription drive,
it was announced last night by
Helen Stinger, in charge of the
drive for women. Lois Margaret
Hunt, representative, will receive
the prize lamp donated by White
Marlatt company for the first to
reach the 100 per cent mark.
The drive is now at its height,
it was said, with the goal still set
• at 1500 subscriptions. Unless this
is reached there is some doubt
that the book will be published.
Two more appointments were
named yesterday to help in the
campaign. Kathryn Liston will
be in charge of the town women
and Ethan Newman will get sub
scriptions from the independent
men.
The drive will continue today
and it is hoped that it will close
tomorrow-. The other houses hav
ing gone over 100 per cent will be
announced la*er.

Somebody Must
Have Given ’Em
A New Version
An enlightening feature of the
election returns on the Zorn-Mac
pherson school-grab bill came to
light yesterday when it became
evident that fewer voters cast
their ballots in favor of the Zorn
Macpherson measure than signed
the petitions that placed it on the
ballot.
About 29,000 signature were
filed with Hal E. Hoss, secretary
of state, for the bill, as a result
of the activities of paid petition
pushers throughout the state. In
addition, the advocates of the bill
claimed about 20,000 signatures
I were stolen from their headquar
ters in Portland, and still more
signatures were invalidated when
the ballot title was changed.
Almost complete returns yester
day showed that only about 40,000
voters voted in favor of the mea
sure.

Brockman Says Japan Faces
Difficulties in Manchoukuo
“Ruling 30,000,000 Koreans is,
one thing. Ruling 30,000,000 Chi-l
nese is another. The Japanese
face almost insuperable difficul
ties in trying to develop Manchou
kuo as a mainland empire.”
Thus Dr. Fletcher S. Brockman/
who has had 30 years of vivid ex
perience in the Far East as an
executive officer of the Y. M. C.
A., summarized the practical dif
ficulties of the Manchurian situ
ation outside of ethical considera
tions.
He was speaking to the Thurs
day morning session of Dean Al
len’s senior students in editing, in
the opening address of the last
day of his visit on the Oregon
campus.
“I wish to appeal to you young
people who will be newspaper peo
ple of tomorrow to study and
know the complex problems of the
Orient No nation has the possi
bilities for influencing the Farj
Eastern nations that America has,
but we cannot influence them by
attitudes and actions that are
rooted in ignorance.
“One of the most widespread
misconceptions which Americans
have is that Russia is primarily
interested in spreading commun
ism throughout the Orient. That
is a part of the Soviet Republic’s
program, to be sure, but what
comes first with them is building
up an alliance of Russia, the Far
East, the Malay nations and India
to resist the capitalistic and im
perialistic nations of the West.”
“I have written Mr. Stimson
that I think his policy deserves to
rank with that of John Hay in
the crisis of 1899,” Dr. Brockman j
stated. "America has at least had
the courage to tell Japan and the‘
rest of the world that she regards ,
the treaties made at the Wash
ington conference of 1922 as sol
emn covenants not to be lightly
broken.”
The No. 1 Defender of the Gates of Troy
inis large person is cape. Raymond Brown of the Univer sity ol Southern California tootnaii eleven. He faces the Oregon
Webfoots in Los Angeles coliseum tomorrow. Regarded as on e of the best tackles on the coast, Brown and Capt. Bill Morgan
of Oregon are expected to wage a bitter duel for all-coast hon ors. Oregon is conceded an excellent cliancc to overcome the
champions ox the coast.
Grade Warnings
Sent to Students
With Low Ratings
Slips Will Be Sent to All
Parents, Deans and ,
Housemothers
A portion of the mid-term no
tices of low grades were sent out
yesterday by the registrar's office,
and are expected to be all mailed j
by the end of the week.
The warnings are sent to the j
students doing failing work by
mid-term, their parents, their ad
visers and to the deans of men
and women, who in turn notify
house presidents, house mothers,
scholarship committee, sponsors,
automobile regulation committee
and other agencies.
Under new regulations, students
who are flunking courses are not
allowed to withdraw. In some
cases where a student is obviously'
overloaded, and wishes to drop a
course in order to concentrate his
efforts on the remainder of his
schedule, he will be allowed to do
so providing his grades in that
course up to the time of withdraw
al are passing. The dropping of
courses to escape the minus point
per hour imposed on the grade
point total for flunks, has been
ruled out.
Students are to take their “red
books” with them when they see
their advisers. These may be
borrowed from the registrar’s of
fice, and used by the adviser and
student in order to enable them
to work out an improved plan of
study.
Upon receiving a notice from
the offices immediate attention
should be taken so that this mat- !
ter may be settled immediately.
They Can Win
C\NE THOUSAND miles from here, on alien soil Saturday, the
Oregon football team faces its greatest test of the season.
In such a situation, any messages or wires from home will be ap
preciated. Contrary to general opinion, Oregon has an excellent
chance to defeat Southern California. The Trojans can be beaten,
Oregon has the men with which to do it, and there is every likeli
hood that sunset over Olympic stadium will find the Webfoots on
the long end of the score. With such a splendid opportunity to
overcome the national champions, let us not be unstinted in our
support of the team. There should be no dearth of well-wishing
messages Saturday. It is our duty to see to it that there is not.

Thirty-six hours without sleep,
food, or rest, in which he was
constantly exposed to heavy artil
lery fire and enfilading machine
guns while accomplishing the dan
gerous task of establishing con
tact between two units of the
American army, earned for George
Bullion, linotype operator at the
University Press, the distinguished
service cross, by direction of the
president and by act of congress.
The scene of this act of unusual
valor was the front line trenches

Ciergcs, in France on October 2,
1918. Mr. Bullion, who was a pri

become separated, and it was his
courage while performing this ex
tremely dangerous task that
caused him to receive the medal.

AIR ATTACK FEARED
Trojans Worried by Strength of
111" Green Squad; Team
To Drill on Turf
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 10.—
(Special) Given more than an
equal chance for a victory, Uni
versity of Oregon football players
will arrive here tomorrow morn
ing in time for a workout on the
turf of Olympic stadium. Satur
day afternoon they face the Uni
versity of Southern California in
the same field.
The invading Oregonians have
not forgotten the 53-to-0 trouncing
handed them last year, according
to word from the north, and have
been pointing for this game all
season. Coupled with the fact
that they are said to have the
strongest team to represent the
Webfoot school in years, Coach
Howard Jones and his assistants
are doing considerable worrying.
Gumc Holds Spotlight
The Trojans get their only bad
break of the season in the sched
ule this week as they meet one of
their toughest opponents after the
hard California game. With the
exception of U. C. L. A., which
meets the badly battered St.
Mary’s team, the Trojan-Oregon
battle holds the spotlight as the
most important football scrap of
the week.
With the Golden Bear hurdle
successfully cleared, the Trojans
went through a tough scrimmage
this week in preparation for the
contest. Coach Jones is no little
worried about over - confidence
among his players. Some of the
experts even expect Oregon to
win.
Trojans Work on Defense
While Mark Temple's tricky
open field running and Mike Miku
lak’s terrific line plunging are the
features of the Oregon attack that
have been giving the Webfooters’
opponents the most trouble, the
Trojans are expecting some heavy
raids through the air, and consid
erable practice is being staged by
Coach Howard Jones this week
on aerial defense.
Although there is nothing se
riously wrong with a pass defense
that can make twice as many
touchdowns out of opponents’ pass
es as the opposition can score,
which was what happened in the
Trojans’ convincing 27 to 7 defeat
of California last Saturday, Coach
Jones realizes that more experi
ence against forward flings is
needed by some of S. C.’s new
backs, notably Fullback Bob Getz
and Quarterback "Cotton” War
burton. Getz, however, is proba
bly out of the Oregon game with
an injured back. *
Defense Record Marred
Little Warburton, the "Gallop
ing Flea,” was covering his man
in the most approved manner last
Saturday when he slipped and fell
on the goal line and allowed the
only touchdown that has been
made this year against the Tro
jans, and although he later came

Mr. Brown AgoutiandRodent
Friends Subject of Studies
“The best, laid plans of mice
and men ”
So goes an old saying, but it
has remained for Dr. R. R. Hues
tis, professor of genetics at the
University of Oregon, to observe
mice, and through his observations
glean information which may be
of great value to the race of hu
mans.
Recently, however, Dr. Huestis
has selected two races of mice
that exist in Oregon, races which
alight well correspond to the
white race and the brown or yel
low race. In Western Oregon
Jwells the Peromyscus manicula
tus rubidus, while in Eastern Ore
gon lives the Peromyscus manicu
latus gambeli. In physique the
two are fairly similar, except that
the Western varsiety has a longer
tail, longer feet and is inclined to
be a bit thinner. He also has a
rich, dark color, while his cousin
across the mountain is quite light.
For some time Dr. Huestis has
been observing his mice, genera
tion after generation, and he has
come to a number of conclusions.
During his studies he also discov
ered that a grandson of a pair,
one from each of the two races,
is a genuine brown agouti muta
tion, which means that he is not
light in color, not dark, nor gray
as are his brothers and sisters,
but a real brown, even to his ears!
Mr. Brown Agouti, though he
doesn't know it, is now one of the
most famous mice in the country.
Since the announcement of his
birth numerous inquiries from
scientists, museum officials and
others have come in to the Uni
versity, Dr. Huestis reports. The
same sort of mutation is known
in other forms of mammals, and
may even be the basis for a theory
of origin of human races, it is
pointed out.
