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

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.

Scandal Sheet Promised
Tentative plans as set forth by
Eyre would make the Jam this
year one of the most imposing- of
all times. The scandal sheet, a
new feature, promises to be a
novelty with few peers. It will
consist of a miniature Emerald
containing all the hottest campus
scandal on the cover, and the pro

papers, stereotype mats, stereo
types, and everything that goes
to make a newspaper.
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. The Campa
Shoppe and McArthur court are
two places being considered at the

Only Two Papers
This Week, Edict
Of Graduate Head
—
There will be only two Emer
alds this week, this issue and
that of tomorrow. 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.

The abrupt shift in attention
from international relations to
football jrohusiasm will be made
as soon ns the visiting Japanese

Travelers To Make Five
Months Tour of U. S.
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.
