T Popular Vote Shows Faith In Education Only One County Favors y Moving Measure Many University of Oregon Alums Elected on Oregon Ballots; Steiwer Re-elected By ALEXANDER G. BROWN By a staggering majority, the people of the state of Oregon have spoken and in doing so they crushed, under an avalanche of votes, the Zorn-Macpherson School Moving bill. By this vote the people of the state of Oregon have voiced their faith in higher educa tion in this commonwealth, their j faith in the young men and young i women of today and tomorrow, i and their approval of the alumni I of the various state institutions. Late Wednesday night when the I last state totals were being com- I piled, 1297 precincts out of 1783 j in the state registered a vote of I but 29,999 for the bill and 186,843 against it. No other measure on the ballot showed such a united opinion, and this incomplete rejjort showed but one county favoring the measure. Paragraphs might well be writ ten as to the meaning of this de cisive defeat of a vicious bill. How ever, it is almost too obvious to comment upon. The alumni of the University deeply appreciate the confidence shown by the electorate. They can only thank the many thou sands of public-spirited citizens who joined in the campaign. The communities of Monmouth, La Grande and Ashland did a great work, and the committee repre senting these communities and Eugene and headed by Amedee M. Smith with F. H. Young as cam paign manager conducted a fight ! that will long be remembered. University alumni were promi nent in the balloting this year. --- I l urtik I975 A Traveling, Campaigning, Orating Veteran i\o corner of the state was too remote for Alexander G. Brown, the University s traveling, cam paigning, orating alumni secretary, to visit in his far-flung travels over the state seeking to organize Oregon alumni to fight the now buried Zorn-Macpherson bill and to educate the voters on the measure which threatened the existence of the University of Oregon. More than 10,000 miles were covered by Brown in his excursions to the campaign centers of the state, and like many veterans of a different sort of fight, Brown has been limping slightly for the past few weeks as the result of an accident which occurred over in eastern Oregon when a woman driver crashed into the little grey Ford that carried Brown on his malty trips. Senator Steiwer was returned to congress by a substantial major ity, but in the race for congress from the third congressional dis trict Homer D. Angell, president of the University alumni associa tion, was defeated by General Martin. In the first congressional dis trict, James W. Mott was the vic tor and he will add a prominent figure to the University colony in Washington, D. C. Allan Bynon made good his graduation from the house of representatives to the state senate from Multnomah county. K. K. “Cap” Kubli, long a fa miliar figure at Salem, was nosed out as a representative from Mult nomah county, incomplete returns indicated, and Kenneth Arm strong, noted debator of a decade ago, was in and out as the count progressed. Gladys M. Everett was one of the few women run ning for office in Multnomah county, and while she polled an impressive vote for representative she was in the bracket just below those elected.

O. R. Bean, son of the late Judge Bean, was leading at last reports for the position of city commis sioner. Scanning reports from various parts of the state brought out many familiar names. In Lane county Fred Fisk, ex-regent of the University, became county judge, and Cal M. Young, Oregon’s first football coach, was named county commissioner. Sam Lehman lost in the race for county clerk, but R. S. Bryson was re-elected re corder and Charles “Shy" Hunt ington will be one of the county’s representatives in the legislature. Many Alumni Aid In Defeat of Bill A great deal of credit for the defeat of the Zorn-Macpherson bill belongs not only to the loyal alum ni of Oregon, but to alumni of other schools whose influence was felt in practically every part of the state. As one of the measures taken in the campaign, letters were writ ten to every alumnus of approxi mately 100 schools, colleges, and universities in all parts of the state who are now residents of Oregon. It was felt that these persons, who themselves have been through higher educational Is Just a bowl V \ OR TO put it another way—“How you feel depends on what you eat.” Just try a bowl of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies for breakfast or lunch and see if you don’t feel keener and litter.

UofO fMove9 Bill Defeat Celebrated By Eugene Alums Wednesday was almost another Homecoming for the University of Oregon with many “grads” back ] in celebration of the defeat of the Zorn-Macpherson school moving bill. F. H. (Hay) Young, former pres ident of the university alumni as sociation and more recently man ager of the fight against the bill; L. L. Thomas of Portland, and L. K. Cramb, former secretary of the { Bend chamber of commerce, both f of whom have worked among the 1 granges in the state for the uni- r versity's interests; Jr Rodney 1 Keating, who did work in organiz- ' ing alumni and taxpayers groups ( to fight the bill; and Richard M. f “Dick” Jones who visited all the * county fairs to see the bill was r defeated, were among those in Eu- s gene Wednesday. 1 _ i 1 institutions, would be of much aid ; in spreading information as to the , destructive and educationally un- ] sound provisions of the bill. The response to these letters, which numbered almost 5,000, was one of the gratifying phases of the J campaign. Warm sympathy and hundreds of pledges of support in ‘ fighting the measure were re ceived. __ Gulleys at Indianapolis Mr. and Mrs. Ross Guiley (Al ice Pauline Brunk, ex-’24) are spending the year in Indianapolis, Indiana, where Mr. Guiley is work ing for his M.A. degree at Butler university.

First came Homecoming with ts attendant celebration and re ewed acquaintances. Then came he Oregon-Oregon State game, /ith Oregon winning. And lastly, n November 8, came the returns rom the state election in which he destructive Zorn-Macpherson lill was emphatically defeated, as uring thousands of Oregon alum i that the identity of their alma nater would be preserved and that j he University would continue to | erve the state as the great edu- i ational institution they have earned to love and respect. Nearly 250 alumni returned to he campus to participate in the vents of Homecoming week-end. Respite rain and cold practically til of those present took part in he varied program, and had it lot been for the poor weather, irobably many more would have ieen able to come to Eugene for he gathering. Rally Starts Events A mammoth rally Friday eve ling on the field behind McArthur ;ourt, where rooters could view the bonfire (which was for the irst time held on Victoria heights) started off the festivities of the week-end. This was followed by he Frosh-Rook football game which went through four hard fought periods ending 0-0. After the game the newly organized Eu gene University club acted as host to alumni and students at an in formal get-together dance at Mc Arthur court. Coffee and dough nuts were served. The next morning activities started again at 9:30 with the an nual alumni meeting with Joe Freck, vice-president of the asso ciation, presiding. Although the Zorn-Macpherson bill was dis cussed it was decided that the as sociation should take no stand on the question at this late date. The feeling seemed to be that since the whole association had not taken a stand last spring, that it would be better not to pursue this policy. A resolution of regret at the I resignation of Dr. Arnold Bennett j Hall and a tribute to his work was | adopted. Resolutions in memory of Dean John Straub and Mrs. P. L. Campbell were also adopted. Alexander G. Brown, alumni sec retary, presented a. report of the association's activities for the past six months. Temple’s Run Thrills The annual Homecoming game was played at Corvallis, since last year the Oregon State alumni and students traveled to Eugene for their Homecoming game. The memory of Temple's 65-yard run during the last quarter of the game to break the 6-6 tie will stand out along with the first ra dio returns on the school-moving bill, as two thrilling experiences of a comparatively small but huge ly successful Homceoming. The usual reception for the re turning graduates was held in Alumni hall prior to the annual Homecoming dance later in the evening. “Eugene's Own Store” McMorran &W ashburne MERCHANDISE OF MERIT ONLY -PHONE 2700 Famous Classics Sheep-Skin Bound 1 Thin Paper Edition Gold Stamping A year ago.$3.95 This year.$1.98 NOW ON SALE AT ' This picture will bring back memories to a lot of people of the days when the boys went I marching away with flags flying and bands playing.
