Adjective Ba rra ge
By BRUCE HAMBY
Sports Editor, Oregon Emerald
Unprecedented criticism, both
sarcastic and bitter, has appeared
in the Los Angeles newspapers
ever since the Oregon-Southern
California football game, won by
the Trojans, 33 to 0.
From every paper in the south
ern city clippings have been sent
to this writer and to the sports
editors of downtown papers. The
Oregon team is classed as being
everything from the "Oregon
Green Elephants” to a "bunch of
high school kids.”
Noted sport critics, such as Bill
Henry, Braven Dyer and Orv
Mohler, former U. S. C. star, have
been more than generous in their
ridicule of the Oregon eleven.
The accounts of the game have
traveled the length of the coast
and Portland and Seattle writers
have reprinted them daily.
Billy Hears Things
To top off the affair, Billy
Stepp, sporting editor of the Port
land News-Telegram, in his col
umn “The Second Guess” yester
day, states the following:
"THE GRAPEVINE SAYS —
Hugh Rosson will seek a new grid
coach while en route to Baton
Rouge, La. . . . the massacre of
the Webfoots at U. S. C. is the
cause . . . wise ones report that
Oregon looked like the last rose
of summer after five minutes of
play. . . . The team was said to
lack football fundamentals. . . .
What the alumni wants is less
stress on the fundamentals and 1
heavy on attack to the other guy’s
goal line.”
In his daily sports gossip col
umn in the Morning Oregonian,
L. H. Gregory quotes the follow
ing from an account of the game
by Orville Mohler: “Bob Erskine
was ill-mannered on the second
touchdown when he failed to
thank Mikulak for knocking him
out of the arms of two waiting
Oregon tacklers.
Now, Now, Orville!
“A few observations: Oregon
quit after the second touchdown
and from then on looked like a
bunch of high school kids. . . .
It seemed to me that they were
badly coached on fundamentals;
instead of tackling Warburton
they merely slapped at him. . . .
I felt sorry for those Webfoots,
they just lacked the finesse neces
sary for a good football team. It
was the greatest ‘necking’ contest
I have ever seen, with a little
shady work in the clinches thrown
in for good measure. ... To sum
it up, Oregon had poor ends, a
weak punter and showed splotchy
field generalship. . . . Temple, Gee
and Kostka played well . . .”
Bill Henry, writing in the Los
Angeles Times, states: "By dint

That’s what the critics give Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt (above)
for her work in the direction of ‘"Once in a Lifetime,” Hollywood
takeoff by Moss Ilart and George Kaufman, which opened last
night at the Guild theatre for a three days’ run.
New NSFA Group
Will Be Appointed
By Hall Monday
Revision of Constitution Is
First Task of Junior
Body This Year
Eight or nine prominent juniors
will be named Tuesday by Bob
Hall, student body president, to
form the N. S. F. A. committee for
the year 1932-33, with the revis
ion of the A. S. U. O. constitution
as their principal task, it was an
nounced last night.
Hall declared that the constitu
tion needs complete rewriting in
many sections, and said that he
will recommend several changes,
among them a proposal to hold
class elections on the same day as
student body elections.
The revised constitution will
probably be ready for the approv
al of the student body by the close
of winter term, Hall said. If not,
it will be presented at regular
spring term elections.
The National Student Federa
tion of America, as the organiza
tion is properly called, was brought
to the Oregon campus last year by
Brian Mimnaugh. Although ac
tive membership in the national
organization has been dropped
this year, the committee will con
I tinue to function as formerly.
Hall said last night that he in
tends to appoint three women.
Text On Character Training
To Be Written By Principals
An objective case book, to be
used with the state text on char
acter education, will be compiled
by a special committee appointed
by the State High School Prin
cipal’s association, it is announced
here. The committee will work
with Dr. J. R. Jewell, dean and
director of education for the state j
board of higher education, who
with R. C. Blackler, principal of
Richmond school in Portland wTas
author of the manual now in u^e
throughout the state.
The committee of the principals’
association consists of Harry John
son, Eugene high school; R. U.
Moore, University high school, and
W. E. Buell, superintendent of
schools and principal of the high
school at Springfield.
The text now in use, prepared
two years ago under the direction
of C. A. Howard, state superin
tendent of public instruction, has
won wide acclaim nationally, and
is regarded as one of the best and
at the same time one of the most
simple of any used in the entire
country. The work of the commit
tee will be a supplement to this,
and will provide teachers with ad
ditional material with which to il
lustrate objectives.
The Oregon text was prepared
after a thorough study of charac
ter manuals in all other states. It
is so arranged that it can be used
for all grades progressively. An
example of this is shown in the
listing of trait objectives. For the
primary grades such traits as
obedience, truthfulness, punctual
ity are listed. These become re
spectively conformity, honesty and
sincerity in the second group for
more advanced grades, and for
the higher grades are cooperation,
sincerity and reliability.
The text contains an outline of
the general problem, psychological
principles involved, character ob
jectives, character trait object
ives, and measurement of progress
and attainment as main topics,
each of which has subdivisions.
The manual is now in use as a
text for courses in education in
two large eastern institutions, and
has been approved by the Associa
tion of Denominational colleges of
the Mississippi valley. Three
prominent publishing houses have
also shown an interest in publish
ing it nationally, it is stated.
The principals committee will
report back later on its work, and
it is planned to eventually make
this a part of the manual.

“Once in Lifetime” Oust Gives
Saucy Performance of
Clever Comedy
By S. STEPHENSON SMITH
The Guild Hall Players made a
fine gamin gesture in the direc
tion of Hollywood, when they put
on last night a crisp and saucy
performance of Kaufman's and
Hart’s razz on the movies, “On e
in a Lifetime." They took us back
to the dark hour when came the
talkies. Here was a chance for
legitimate actors to take a little
revenge. And how the Guild Hall
company rose to the bait! They
got off their crackling barrage of
wisecracks against the dumb silli
ness of Hollywood, with all the
gusto of Red undertakers driving
nails in a Capitalist coffin. All
in great good humor, mind you;
but they were attending the wake
of the silent movies, nevertheless.
In fact, the play opens with the
great trek of a small-time vaude
ville team to Hollywood, to seek
their fortunes in the new talkies.
Charles Shoemaker, as Jerry Hy
land, was full of dash *and verve,
and used his broadcasting voice
with power. Ty Smith Hartmus,
playing Miss Daniels, was the life
of the party, shrewd, sparkling,

Men Fail To Get
jobs Because of
Inaccessibility
University Employment
Service Says Few
Have Phones
Inaccessibility of students who
have left their names for jobs
with the University employment
service is blamed as the principal
reason of so many men not getting
calls for odd jobs, when calls
come in.
“There are a large number who
have no telephones, or are not at
their living quarters when it is
necessary to call them," stated
Katherine Kneeland, University
employment secretary yesterday.
“The local campus Y. M. C. A
has generously offered to cooper
ate with the employment office to
maintain a central lounge for the
men who wish to be available for
odd jobs. There are facilities at
the hut for ping-pong, reading,
studying, and other relaxations. A
bulletin board is to be operated
giving the particulars of any tele
phone calls that come in for work.
“The employment office will call
the Y. M. C. A. to get in touch
with men we cannot reach other
wise quickly, so all men who wish
to be available may take advan
tage of this central place to play
or study during their unoccupied
hours in the week, and particular
ly on Saturday mornings and af
ternoon, when calls for odd jobs
are most plentiful.”
Pledges of Honorary

Pledges of Phi Beta, women’s
national professional music Und
drama fraternity, met Tuesday
evening at Gerlinger hall. Plans

Newest Fashions
Show n at Meeting
In Gerlinger Hall
Henri, the Stylist. Tells of
Progress of Present
Styles
Presentation of the newest fash
ions anil a discussion of the posi
tions open to college women in de
partment stores were the high
lights of the A. W. S. mass meet
ing and tea yesterday at 4 in Ger
linger.
Henry Harris, stylist for Lip
man Wolfe and company, was first
introduced by Louise Webber,
president of the A. W. S. Mr. Har
ris remarked on the progress of
fashion from the tinje it was creat
ed for royalty to its present status
of importance in everyday activ
ity. Style is distinguishing one
trend from another; fashion is the
style accepted by a large num
ber of people.
Mr. Harris’ talk was illustrated
by models showing the latest and
most correct styles for sport,
street, afternoon, and semi-formal
attire. Three models showed gar
ments for the co-ed, and one wore
frocks and gowns for the mature
figure.
Harold F. Wendell, president and
manager of the Lipman-Wolfe
store, and prominent in his field,
outlined the positions open to col
lege women and training needed
for these positions.
The merchandising division of a
department store, which includes
everything from the buying of
stock to its sale, offers the posi
tions of merchandise manager,
buyer, comparative shopper, sales
person, stylist, decorator, and res
taurant or tea room operative,
Mr. Wendell said. The second di
vision, personnel work, prefers
women employees. Many positions
are also open in the publicity and
eomptrolling divisions.
Mathematics was rated first as
a preparatory study for any work
in a store because it develops the
ability to think logically, and is
practicable in all departments.
Technical and classical studies
were rated sound, and campus ac
tivities stressed.
Commerce Honorary
Pledges New Members
Formal pledging will be held at
noon today in the College Side Inn
for five newly elected members of
Phi Chi Theta, national commerce
honorary for women.
The girls elected are Eileen
Hickson, Elizabeth Bickel, Grada
Kilpatrick, Katherine Liston, and
Frances Burch.
Notification was made at an af
ter-dinner dessert Tuesday evening
at the Phi Mu chapter house, un
der the direction of Blema Parker,
Hilda Fries, and Dorothy McMil
lan.
Phi Mu Alpha May
Give Radio Series
T' •
The probability of a series of
radio programs in which members
of Phi Mu Alpha will take part
was discussed at the meeting of
that honorary last night.
A membership committee, con
sisting of Douglas Orme, John
Gribble, and Dorr Huffman, to
look out for prospective members,
was appointed.
To fit the depression pocket
book the honorary decided to
lower initiation fees.
A.S.U.O. Prexy
Comments Upon
L.A. 'Roastings*
Last night, alter reading
over the many caustic and bit
ter epithets hurled at Oregon’s
football performance at Los An
geles last week, Bob Hall, stu
dent body president, urged the
students to forget the newspa
per statements and unite them
selves back of the team in an
effort to create a new morale
and a spirit for the coming
game with St. Mary’s Gaels.
His complete statement fol
lows :
“Although these statements
are rather hard to bear at pres
ent, I am sure they will soon
be forgotten. It is the privilege
of the Los Angeles and Port
land, and othr metropolitan
writers to say what they want,
and I am sure a victory over
St. Mary's would restore their
confidence in us and bring back
their support of the team. Let
us unite ourselves back of the
team and coaches in an effort
to obtain that victory.”
Smith To Review
Tied Smoke’ Over

Isaac Levine, Author, Sees
Failure of Five- Year
Plan
Isaac Don Levine’s latest book,
‘‘Red Smoke,” in which the author
prophesies failure for the five
year plan of Russia on the basis
of an alleged limitation of natural
resources, will be comprehensively
reviewed by Dr. Warren D. Smith
of the geology department, on the
Emerald-of-the-Air program to
morrow at 12:15.
Dr. Smith, an authority on eco
nomic geology, has expressed him
self as of the opinion that Mr.
Levine’s conclusions are essen
tially sound. In substantiation of
his convictions, Dr. Smith cites
the following quotation from the
“Five Year Plan” as evidence that
the Russians, themselves, admil
their lack of adequate power re
sources: “With regard to fuel re
sources, the condition of the So
viet Union differs substantial^
and unfavorably for us from that
of the United States, Englund and
Germany."
The Oregon geologist also point?
out that no less a luminary than
Dr. Charles K. Leith of Wisconsin
regarded as the foremost author
ity in the United States on thi
world's mineral supply, has cor
roborated the findings of Mr. Le
vine in every major respect.
"Red Smoke" has given rise ti
controversies throughout the en
tire country, since its publication

Cooperative Farm Tries
Communistic Experiment
By ED STANLEY
At the Eugene Community Al-i
liance meeting, which will be held I
ail day Saturday at the Commu
nity Liberal church, several mem
bers of the Cooperative Farm will
be on hand to give their ideas
about cooperative organization.
Few University students know
of the Cooperative Farm, which
is located only four miles from
ICugene on the Eugene-Coburg
road. It was founded August 1,
1932, by an Oregon alumnus, Al
son Bristol, who with eight other
modern idealists began the organi
zation as a protest against the
competitive way of existence, to!
give its members higher stand- j
ards of living, and to protect them
from the economic misfortunes of j
life. Probably few people in Lane
county, or the entire state, realize
that such a progressive commu
; nity really exists.
Others who assisted in this ven
ture were Mrs. Bristol, who was
born in Hawaii; Arnold Budkar,
i now at the Danish People's col
lege in Nebraska; Paul Blazer,
■ who was born in Silverton, and
I received his education in scientific
farming at Oregon State college.
■ Blazer and his sister, Helen, are
direct descendants of the earliest
settlers in Oregon. Fourteen per
sons now form the entire group.
Among the newest members are
Isaiah Domas, manager of the
multigraph department, and his
wife. Prior to joining the associ
ation, Mr. and Mrs. Domas were
directors of the Herriman Farm
school in Mosey, New York.
The Cooperative Farm requires
that all members turn over their
material wealth to the association,
and a valuation is made of the
amount. Recently a sinking fund
was esablished by which any
member leaving the farm may be
reimbursed. In exchange for all
labor the members receive meals,
a room, monthly allowance, and a
share of the annual allowance.
This group owns 185 acres of
rich, fertile, river-bottom land
near the McKenzie, and as time
goes on more land will be pur
chased. This year the farm was
used mainly for truck gardening,
general farming, poultry, dairy,
and hog raising. Most of tho
products are sold at its stall at
the Eugene Public market. Dur
ing the past year it had acquired
the slogan “where you get the
melons.”
Duplications in equipment are
