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.

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.

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

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 {

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 *

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.

on. 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.

Chesterfields were very popu

They’re "old vets” today. And
that milder, satisfying Chester

It was mildness that first at

And it’s mildness and better taste
that is winning new friends for
