PEP RALLY IS GIVEN
Phases of Japanese Problems Are
Ably Discussed by Visiting
Speakers
By OSCAR F. MUNGER
Indications of the general inter
est felt in far eastern questions
was manifested yesterday when
an estimated crowd of 1,500 atten
tive University students, faculty
members and townspeople, gath
ered in assembly at 11:00 o’clock
yesterday at Gerlinger hall to hear
Tad Yamada, T. R. Makiyama, ani
K, Sumomogi, Japanese good-will
speakers, who are starting a four
months’ tour of the United States.
All three of the young men are
University students in Japan and
the tour is under the advisorship
of Roger Pfaff, one of Oregon’s
Pacific Basin debaters of last year.
The assembly was opened by the
University band piaying the na
tional anthem of Japan followed
by the United States national an
them. The stage was appropriate
ly set off with flags of the two
countries. Victory P. Morris, pres
ident of the International Rela
tions club, was chairman.
“In no eastern country have the
elements of the East and West
, been so harmoniously blended as
in Japan,’’ declared Mr. Sumomog',
the first speaker, in speaking on
“The New Japan.” “Japan has
been so busy modernizing her
country along western lines that
she has not had time to tell the
West about herself and her cul
ture. To the West, Japan is still
a land of gods and mysteries. Most
of our western friends on their
first visit to Japan are amazed at
the modern conveniences that
greet their eyes,” he declared.
“Today, East is West, and to a
lesser extent, West is East,” Mr.
Makayami emphasized when he
addressed the assembly. In speak
ing of the commerce between the
United States and his country, Mr.
Makayami said, “Few Americans
realize that their trade with Japan
exceeds in dollars and cents all the
rest of their trade with the rest
of Asia, even including the Philip
pines.” This point was further em
phasized when he pointed out the
* number, of things such as automo
biles, foodstuffs, etc., coming from
i the United States, which figure in
his everyday life.
Tad Yamada, the last speaker,
pointed to the need for friendship
between the youth of America and
Japan as a necessary factor in pro
moting a favorable future for the
Pacific era just on the horizon.
“Barriers of Nature that separ
ate America and Japan have been
broken yet men have erected bar
riers of prejudice, misunderstand
ing and discrimination that have
destroyed friendship and good
will,” he said. “We, the youth of
Japan and America, with the aid
of our elders, must dedicate our
future to the ideal of peace and
friendship,” he declared. Further
he said, “We as unbiased and un
prejudiced Japanese students can
truthfully say to you that our

Campus Women
Ann-Reed Burns and Ruth Mc
Clain were the outstanding fresh
man and sophoipore women in
journalism chosen by Theta Sigma
Phi to be invited to the Matrix Ta
ble, it was announced last night
after invitations had been deliv
ered to approximately 50 women
students last night between 10:30
and 11 o’clock by members of the
journalism honorary.
The banquet, which is to be held
at the Eugene hotel on December

of Amos Berg, well-known explor
er and former Oregon student, who
is to speak on “Dance Around the
World,” and will present a two
reel film illustrating his talk.
Invitation to the Matrix Table
is based upon interest in literature,
art, music, or drama, and is lim

women, with the exception of the
two women chosen as outstanding
in their respective classes.
Other guests on the campus who
received invitations to the affair

Elma Doris Havemann JFins
Fourth Honorary Decoration
By ELINOR HENRY |
A major-general on parade or
Charles Augustus Lindbergh hasn’t j
many more honorary decorations |
than Elma Doris Havemann. new
ly electer to the “Senior Six” of
Phi Beta Kappa.
When interviewed yesterday af
ternoon, she was wearing only the
key-shaped pin of Sigma Delta Pi,
national Spanish honorary, at
tached by a slender chain to her
sorority insignia, Alpha Delta Pi.
But on occasion she may wear the
badges of membership in Pi Delta
Phi, French honorary, and Pi
Lambda Theta, education honor
society. And in a short time she
will add the Phi Beta Kappa pin
to her collection.
i Elma Doris says that attending
last summer’s Olympic games and
casting her first ballot gave her
a bigger thrill than her election to
Phi Beta Kappa. She was 21 on
May 26, and glad of it, since help
ing vote down the Zorn-Macpher
son bill particularly interested her.
“My father’s a Republican and
Mother’s a Democrat, so I just
still and voted Socialist to keep
peace in the family,” she remarked,
laughing.
Her principal problem is getting
people to call her by all her name.
"I’ve tried all sorts of ways,” she
declared, “writing it in one word,
or with a small d, or even hyphen
ated. It’s worse this year than
last. People call up and ask for
Elma, and I call my mother, and
then she calls me back, and we
get all mixed up!”
Hours at Library
Will Be Changed
On Thanksgiving
A change in library hours for
today and tomorrow because of
the Thanksgiving holiday, was
announced yesterday by H. M.
Douglass, University librarian.
Today the reserve libraries
will close at 6 p. m. instead of
10 p. m. as usual, and the cir
culation and reference depart
ments of the old library will

Tomorrow, Thanksgiving day,
all libraries will be open from
9 a. m. to 1 p. m. only.
Two Nominated
For Soph Office
Sophomores met last night to
take account of their 'finances af
ter the Sophomore Informal. From
Ed Meserve’s report it was learned
that they kept below the budget.

fill Blanche O’Neill’s place as
class secretary. Nancy Archibald
and Margaret Ellen Osborne were
named and votes are to be cast
next Tuesday at the Y. M. C. A.
hut.
The next topic to be discussed
was the annual “Whiskerino

sulted in the continuance of this
historic institution, which will be
held sometime during winter term.
Dean Rebec Talk

t , -
Eva Will Notify Groups
Day Before Entrance
In Competition
Interfraternity - intersorority
table singing trials will be held all
this week, with the men’s houses
being judged at luncheon and the
women's groups at dinner, it was
announced yesterday by Don Eva,

a day in advance that they are to
be judged by committees of three
judges, who will select the five
best men’s and women’s organiza
tions to be submitted to the fac
ulty judging committee.
At the termination of the pre
liminary judging the winners will

urday.
Oregana Drive
Is Far Short
Of 1400 Quota
Campus Campaign Ends
Today at 3
J
CITY SALE IS OPEN
Fate of Yearbook Is in Hands
Of Townspeople; Book May
Not Be Published
The fate of the 1933 Oregana
hangs in the balance this morning
as a report late last night showed
that approximately 900 subscrip
tions had been obtained. Officials
have set 1,400 as the minimum
number of subscribers needed to
assure the publication of the an
nual this year. This leaves 500
additional persons needed to sign
for copies of the book before the
sales campaign comes to a close
this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
According to Gordon Day ami
Helen Stinger, sales promotion
managers, support of the yearbook
has lain mostly in the fraternity
and sorority houses. A number of
these living groups have reached
a 100 per cent subscription quota.
It is the town and unafiliated stu
dents who have failed to respond
to the call for subscriptions.
Sales End Friday
The main cause for this defici
ency is due, states Day, to the in
accessability of the unaffiliated
students. The sales campaign for
these students has, therefore, been
extended to Friday of this week
when all soliciting will end. Ethan
Newman and Katherine Liston
have been placed in charge of sales
to town students, and will be aided
by more than a score of represen
tatives. Subscriptions may be ob
tained from these students or by
calling at the A. S. U. O. office
in McArthur court.
"In all probability,” states Day,
“no Oregana will be published
this year unless the required num
ber of subscriptions is obtained.
With the campus drive falling so
far short of the quota, the fate of
the Oregana is now in the hands
of the people of Eugene and the
students off the campus.”
Bargain Price Made
As has already been announced,
the proposed book will sell for the
bargain price of $4.50, installments
on which may be paid over a
period of months.
Students who participated in
the drive among living organiza
tions are urged to have their sales
books into the chairmen by 3
o’clock today. Men will turn their
books in to Gordon Day at the
Phi Kappa Psi house, and women
are requested to leave theirs with
Helen Stinger at the Gamma Phi
Beta house.
L. Kraus Chosen
Y.W.C.A. Leader
Lucille Kraus, senior, yesterday
took over the leadership of the
campus Y. W. C. A., accepting
the president’s office following
the resignation of Aimee Sten,
who has been forced to withdraw
from activities because of poor
health.
Miss Kraus was elected by mem
bers of the Y. W. cabinet during
its weekly meeting Monday night.
At the same time a vote of thanks
was extended to the retiring pres
! ident in recognition of her contri
butions to the association and ef
ficiency as leader.
The succeeding president has
been an active member of the
Young Women’s Christian asso
ciation for four years, as president
of Frosh commission, social, asso
ciation dinner and finance chair
man, and vice-president this year.

Not Speed Fiend
By Choice, Says
W. F. C. Thacher
With fire in his eye and an ]
Emerald in his hand, W. F. G. j
Thacher, advertising and journal
ism professor for the past ten
years, strode into the Emerald of
fice yesterday.
“Who wrote this column?" he
demanded, showing ye managing
ed the current “Two Decades Ago"
column. “Why, I wasn’t even here
twenty years ago.” (See apology
in today's column!)
Otherwise, however, he agreed
to the truth of Colonel John Lead
er's statement of his innocence. It
was because the colonel kept urg
ing him to go faster than he was
driving at the terrific speed of 35
miles an hour when the speed cop
caught up with them.
And after their arrest, Leader
bet Thacher the fine wouldn’t be
over $2 00. "If it is I’ll pay half,”
he promised. And he did $7.50.
Alas, the price of speed!
Exam Schedule
Will Be Out Soon
The schedule of final examina
tions for full term is to be re
leased next Tuesday, it was an
nounced last night by Clifford
Constance, assistant registrar.
A change in the order of exam
inations is to be made this year
to insure greater fairness to all
students in the matter of complet
ing their exams early.
It is planned to rotate the ex
amination groups each term in
the year, so that there will be no
students who finish up by the mid
dle of the week all three examina
tion weeks, while others are kept
on the campus until the last ses
sion each time. This is also being
done in fairness to instructors,
since those whose examinations
fall late in the week have to work
a great deal harder in reading and
grading.
It is also planned that the sched
ule will be made uniform every
year for each term, so that the
schedule will be definite at all
times during the year.
Two Grid Teams

By BRUCE HAMBY
Sports Editor, Oregon Emerald
On three far-flung sectors of
the Pacific coast football front.
Thanksgiving day engagements
wilt be fought tomorrow. In tho
hollow of Kezar stadium in San
Francisco, Oregon faces St.
Mary's in a major non-conference
battle. Nine-hundred miles north
ward from the Bay city region,
Southern California’s Trojans
meet Washington's Huskies in
Seattle. In the sunny south Wash
ington State college carries it3
spirited attack against the high
stepping Uncles of U. C. L. A.
Only in the Washington-South
ern California contest is there a
decided favorite. The Trojans are
expected to win from the Huskies
by at least two touchdowns. The
Washington State-U. C. L. A. en
counter is regarded as virtually a
standoff, and the Oregon-St.
Mary’s duel is expected to be
eaually close. Near - capacity
crowds are anticipated at Los
Angeles and Seattle, the weather
being favorable, but the atten
dance at San Francisco may be
below that of previous games be
tween the Gaels and Webfoots.
Watch Out, Uncles!
Should the Trojans step over
Washington, and Washington
State trounce the Uncles, South
ern California would take posses
sion of its second successive Paci
fic coast conference championship.
The well-coached Cougars, led by
vivacious Babe Hollingbery and
sparked by one of the nation’s
leading triple-threat halfbacks,
Capt. George Sander, are consid
ered possibilities to smite the
plucky Bruins.
Quite naturally, Southern Cali
fornia is the experts’ choice to
overcome Washington. The men
of Troy apparently are under-way
now, and it looks as if it would
take a wall of brick to stop them.
However, the Trojans’ last trip in
to the north still is fresh in mem
ory. It was in 1930 that U. S. C.
last crossed the Siskiyous. Its
destination was Pullman, Wash.,
and Mr. Hollingbery’s boys came
away with the fat end of a 7-to-6
score as football history was writ- -
ten in the Palouse hills.
Hope Left for W. S. C.
Also, Washington State is not
yet eliminated from the champion
ship race. Playing the courage
1 ous, fighting football typical of
all Cougar elevens, it has come
back following a 20-0 defeat by
U. S. C. and is undefeated except
for that game. Should the Cou
gars down U. C. L. A. and Wash
ington confound the Trojans, W.

Turkey Used To Cost $$$$,
But Now Look, Says Hitchie
By Parks (Tommy) Hitchcock
Again the Emerald crashes
through! Through the efforts of
the staff scientists (headed by
that experienced anatomist, R.
(Butch) Morse, the Emerald brings
you astounding figures on how
long it will take the average stu
dent to recover from the Thanks
giving holidays.
The figures are the result of ex
tensive study of a trial group of
representative students. Names
come first (as ever) and after
wards come the figures telling how
long it took the patient to recover
from the "turkey, pudding, and
wine.” Here they are:
Anselmo Pozzo, 8 hrs. 5 min.
Bill Crowe, 87 hrs. 3 min.
Wilson Johnston, $25 bail.
Dan Longaker, 62 hrs. no min.
General Motors, 43 1-4 up 1 1-2.
Donald Eva, the final patient,
never recovered. He just went on
looking the same way. To take
the average of these figures, mix
three parts with five of water, add
juniper juice and three lemons.
Season to taste, then throw the
whole mess out the window.
And now let Crystal W. Bawl
predict the football games for you.
No. 1. Oregon vs. St. Mary’s—
Final score: Bill Muigaa 63, light
wines and beer 7,859 (three pre
cincts missing.)
No. 2 Oregon State vs. Detroit—
Final score; Henry Ford 14, two
pants suit $18.00, marked down
from $23.
