NUMBER 36 State Schools Face Big Slash In Expenditures Officers of Educational System Meet Here $333,000 CUT DUE Eliminating Duplication, Cutting Costs Necessary for Next Two Years, Says Kerr Administrative officers and deaas of Oregon’s entire higher educational system met in John son hail yesterday afternoon at the call of Dr. W. J. Kerr, chan cellor, and considered policies and administrative problems of all in stitutions. The meeting brought together for the first time the of ficials from the University, state college and normal schools. A reduction of approximately $335,000 per year in expenditures during the biennium must be faced. Dr. Kerr told the officers and deans, in order to balance the bud get. This reduction, it was point ed out, must be met largely from unrestricted funds available to the board of higher education, a large part of which comes from the mill age tax and student fees. Realizing the economic condi tions of the state, the board of higher education has determined on a policy of asking for no ap propriations to supplement the millage tax and present continuing appropriations, Dr. Kerr said. Keane non Already Large “During the two fiscal years 1931-32 and 1932-33 the institu tions of higher learning have op erated at an average reduction of income of over $1,000,000 per year as compared with the average for each year of the biennium 1929 30,” the chancellor said. “De creases in millage income due to lowered property valuations, de creased income from student body fees because of lessened enroll ment and other factors in income and expenditures during the com ing biennium make further econo mies imperative in order to bal ance the budget. This is an emer gency we all must cooperate in meeting and it can be met only thr.ough unity of effort.” Cost Cutting Slated To achieve the necessary econo mies, careful studies would be made to eliminate unnecessary duplications, to cut administrative costs and to insure a full carrying load for every individual, Dr. Kerr stated. In order to lighten the burden of these drastic reductions during the coming biennium, the chancellor requested that every possible sav ing be made during the present year in the budgets already allot ted. He suggested every possible reduction in laboratory supplies in line with reduced enrollment and a careful study of every item of ex pense. Dr! Miller Returns Dr. Fred Miller, of the Univer sity health service, returned to duty yesterday, although he is still suffering from a wrenched back. Dr. Miller injured his back last week while playing volleyball in the men's gym, and was unable to leave his home for several days. \ Matsuoka, V of O Alum, Makes Key Speech at Geneva A University of Oregon gradu ate who has been prominent in world affairs for some time, Yosuke Matsuoka, Japanese dele gate to the League of Nations, gave the Manchurian question a serious turn yesterday when he outlined his country’s stand on re fusing to relinquish her hold in that state. The Japanese attitude, regarded as critical to the leagqe, was opposed by T. Wellington Koo, Chinese, who expressed his coun try’s inclination to extend her boy cott on Japanese goods if that na tion took this stand in Manchuria. Matsuoka in his speech yester day cited the American, French, and British interpretation of the ; Kellogg pact that a nation has a | right to extend self protection be I yond her own borders. He stated that his government can accept no proposals for a substitute for the present government in Manchu kuo. Matsuoka is known as one of the most popular and ablest spokes men for Japan at the league. He i received an ovation on his de parture for Geneva. Count Uchida, Japanese minister of foreign af fairs, gave Matsuoka a free hand . in his dealings with the league. He left the University with the class of 1900. Fate of Oregana For ’33 in Hands Of Campaigners Students Must Subscribe Large Enough List To Insure Success Oregon students have only two days to decide whether or not there is to be a 1933 Oregana. Wednesday night the drive for subscriptions to the student year book will cease, and unless 1,400 persons have signed for the book at that time, it will not go to press, according to Roger Bailey, business manager. Last night, before a meeting of campus subscription solicitors, Bob Hall, student body president, stated that “unless 600 more sub scriptions are obtained before the deadline Wednesday, the executive council is not likely to sanction the publication of the Oregana this year. The year book must pay for itself, and unless this num ber is attained, financial condi tions will prevent its publication.” In the initial drive, which came to an end last Friday, 800 sub scribers signed for copies of the book. The Oregana, as originally planned, will sell for the bargain price of $4.50, although maintain ing the former standard of quality. Payments are spaced over a period of months. Gordon Day and Helen Stinger, in charge of sales, announce that, although the drive was carried over from last week, Wednesday evening will definitely terminate the campaign. ‘The fate of the year book is now entirely in the hands of the students,” said Day last night. “If they want an annual, they will subscribe prior to Wednesday. If they do not do this, it is doubtful if there will be an Oregana this year. Subscriptions may be obtained from the’respective house repre sentatives, the A. S. U. O. busi ness office in McArthur court, or the score of independent solicitors. Scouting of Bill Reinhart Helps Rams fp in Big Games By BRUCE HAMBY Sports Editor Oregon Emerald Here's the inside information on two of the year’s most important intersectional football games : Fordham’s victories over S t. Mary’s 14 to 0 and Oregon State college, 8 to 6. Scene': Office of Major Frank Cavanaugh, head coach of the Fordham Football team, just be fore the opening of the season: Cavanaugh: (To his assistants) Who’ll I get to scout St. Mary’s and Oregon State? That’s too far to send one of you fellows. We must have someone dependable. I’ve got it, I’ll call Doc Spears. He was out there at Oregon. He might know. (Reaching for phone.) Operator, get me C. W. Spears, Camp Randall, Wisconsin. * * * The phone rings. Cavanaugh: Hello. Hello, is this Doc ? This is Major Cavanaugh in New York. How are you? That’s fine. Say, Doc, who can I get to scout St. Mary’s and Ore gon State? I’m up a creek. Tell me a good man on the coast. Doc Spears: Say, I know ju3t the man for you. He’s Bill Rein hart, basketball and baseball coach at the University of Oregon. He’s as good as any scout on the coast. Sure, you know Bill. You met him in New York at the coaches’ con vention? Yeh, I remember the time. OK, Major, I’ll phone him right away. * * » Later that day. Phone rings in Bill Reinhart’s office at McArthur court, Eugene. Bill: Hello. Yes, this is Bill. Oh hello! Doc! What's doing in Wis consin ? Spears: Say, you remember Frank Cavanaugh? Yeah, well the Major just called me and asked for a scout to get some dope on St. Mary’s and Oregon State. Will you do it? O. KK. That’s fine. I’ll wire New York immediately. And good luck out there, Bill! * * * This is how we imagined the events might have been. Of course, the conversation is not ver batim, nor is the sequence of phone calls and telegrams certain. But, at any rate, that is how Rein (ContiHiied on Page Four) Speakers at Today’s Assembly. One of the four faces in this picture is well-known to students and faculty of this University. He is the gentleman in the circle, Roger Alton Pfaff, graduate of last year’s class, who is accompanying the members of the Japan Good-Will Team as their advisor on a tour of the United States. The members of the team, left to right, are T. R. Makiyama of Chuo university, Tad Yamada of Meiji university, and K. Sumomogi of Doshisha university. All four will be speakers at the 11 o’clock assembly in Gerlinger hall today. Do You Want An Oregana? HETHER or not Oregon continues its yearbook is ’ now up to the student-body. The finance committee has put forth its ultimatum. It has declared that no Ore gana will be printed this year unless at least 1,500 sub scriptions are obtained. There were S00 on hand as this editorial was written, shortly before midnight of Monday. The managers of Oregana have said that the subscrip tion campaign will close tomorrow night. They have ap proximately 36 hours in which to obtain 700 more pledges to purchase the book. That is an average of about 19 eagh% hour, a fast pace, but a possible one if the entire student body cooperates to the fullest extent. On previous occasions this paper has emphasized the importance of Oregana to the activities of the University. There is no need of repeating those remarks at this time. The Emerald, in conclusion, urges that the students of Oregon exert every effort to put this drive over the top. Its success would be an attribute to Oregon. Its failure would be both a hindrance and a black mark. (Editorial) Nine Juniors Are Chosen for NSFA; McKelligon Head A. S. U. O. Constitution To Be Rived by Special Committee Nine prominent juniors were named yesterday as members of the Oregon committee of the Na tional Student Federation of Amer ica. A1 McKelligon, president of last year’s sophomore class, was appointed chairman by Bob Hall, student body president. McKelligon has named the fol lowing third-year students to plac es on the committee: Neal Bush, Ed Sehweiker, Geraldine Hickson, Virginia Hartje, John Kendall, George Hibbard, Nancy Suomela, and Jim Ferguson. Sterling Green, managing editor of the Emerald, was asked to serve, but declined the appointment because he was already carrying a full schedule of extra-curricular activities. The committee, introduced last year to study student problems on the Oregon campus, will devote the major part of its effort during this and the following term to the task of revising the A. S. U. O. constitution. Sophomore Class Meet Will Be Held in Villard A sophomore class meeting will be held in Villard assembly at 7:30 this evening. This is the last meeting of the term, and the final financial re ports will be given, including the results of the class dance.

Five Men Pledged By Robed Friars' At Soph Informal Five men were pledged to Friars, senior men’s honorary, luring intermission at the Sophomore Informal Saturday evening.

Espy, of Woodburn, president of the senior class; Jean Law rence Grady, Portland; Carl Ralph Walstrom, Portland; Harry S. Schenk, Portland; Charles Edwin Roberts, Cali fornia. Membership in the Friars is the highest honor that can be paid to a senior, as only a few of the most outstanding men are chosen each year. Eligibility for the Friars is based upon the qualities of leadership and ability, as well as fellowship. “Oregon Publisher” Out Another edition of the “Oregon Publisher,” oficial publication of the Oregon State Editorial asso ciation, is just off the press.

The floor has not as yet been selected but no effort will be spared by the directorate to ob tain the best that can be had, assording to Eyre.

Amos Burg is one of the world’s youngest explorers, but has at tained for himself an enviable reputation. Starting his career as an expert canoist on the Yukon and Mackenzie rivers in Alaska and Canada, respectively, he has since travelled with William Beebe, naturalist, and with Fleischmann.

This edict came forth from the graduate manager’s office several days ago. Last spring the schedule for this term was made up by the editor and business man ager in the belief that the cus tomary Thanksgiving vacation would be granted. Then the state board took away the holi days and thereby jumbled the publishing schedule slightly. Last week Dick Neuberger, editor of the Emerald, request ed that at least three, and pos sibly four, issues be permitted this week, but was informed by the graduate manager and busi ness offices that pre-arranged advertising schedules on a two day basis would make this un advisable. He also was told by the finance committee that the Emerald might be reduced to a four - times - a - week schedule next term, a move which Neu berger promised to oppose vig orously. Pep Rally Set for Closing Minutes Of Meeting Today Send-Off for Grid Squad To Follow Immediately After Assembly The last ten minutes of this morning's 11 o’clock assembly will be devoted to a pep rally and send off for the football squad, which leaves from Villard station at 12:10 p. in. lor its Thanksgiving dav clash witn the St. Mary's Gaels, u was announced last night by Hally Chairman Espy.

PFAFF WITH TEAM Nipponese-United States Relations Will Be Discussed By Group By DAVE WILSON Three young men from Japan and one long-absent young man of Eugene retired to their rooms in the Eugene hotel at an early hour last night to get rested up before a 13-hour working day. After being greeted at the train by civic and University officials, the members of the Japan Good Will team, now on a five-months’ tour of the United States, were told that the town was theirs but that they would have to work for it, with seven engagements down for their one-day stay. Outstanding on their program is the 11 o'clock assembly at Gerlin ger hall, for which all closses will be dismissed. The general assem bly, which will be open to towns people as well as to students and faculty, is expected to attract a capacity crowd. The three mem bers of the Good Will team will speak on various phases and prob lems of 1932 Japan and its rela tions with the United States, as will Roger Alton Pfaff, University of Oregon graduate who is travel ing with the Japanese students as their American adviser. Morris Assembly Chairman K. Sumomogi will speak on "New Japan," T. R. Makiyama on "Economics of the Pacific” and Tad Yamada on "Japanese-Ameri can Relations and the 1932 Situa i tion.” Pfaff will conclude the talks ! with one on “Manchukuo, the New West.” At S o'clock this morning mem bers of the team will meet with Victor Morris’ class in internation? al trade in Condon hall, and at 9 o’clock a round table session will be held with Dean Allen’s editing class in the Journalism building. Interested students are welcome to attend these class meetings. Students May Consult After speaking to the Eugene Rotary club during the noon-hour, the guests from the Far East will return to the Gerlinger hall lounge, where the International Relations club, the Cosmopolitan club, and the World Felloship group of the Y. W. C. A. are spon soring an informal reception for them between 3 and 5 o’clock. The team members will attend a formal dinner to be given for them at the International house in the evening. Early tomorrow morning they will return to Portland for another speaking engagement, leaving that night for Boise, the next stop on their tour of 60 cities. Skull and Dagger Will Meet Today Skull and Dagger will meet at Gerlinger hall at II this morning to plan for the rally at noon, it was announced today. It is very important that all members be present as the proceedings follow ing the assembly must be carried out well on such short notice. The rally proper will begin at 12:10 when the team leaves for St. Marys. Football, Golf and Politics Interest Visiting Japanese Yankee football, golf and poli tics will be three centers of inter est for the three members of the Japan good will tour who arrived in Eugene last night on their trip through the United States. Of course, they are going to study economics and such things, give numerous talks and lectures, and in general build up a better feei ng between citizens of the two na tions, but that is only during busi ness hours. The members of the party are T. R, Makiyama, golfer and econo mist; Kazuyuki Sumomogi, rugby ind rowing artist; and Tadayoshi Yamada, politician and orator. Makiyama is 25 years old and the other two are 23. Sumomogi expressed the first wish of the group, even before they had established themselves in the hotel room—that was to see an American football team in ac tion. He wasn’t particular whether it was in practice or a game, but he wants to see these power drives and end runs. Makiyama, when asked what his sport was, said that he “plays at golf’’ in that tone which means he is not the kind of a player to be taken on for a breather match. He didn't bring his clubs along but ex pects to try out numerous Ameri can courses. Yamada had the only regrets of the group. They were due to the presidential election be ing held too soon. After the visitors had hung up their suits to get the wrinkles of traveling out, they expressed a de side to see student life as it is out side of classrooms and libraries. They were driven up to one of the restuarants near the campus where they could see students get ting a few minutes of relaxation after the grind of the day.
