Following the San Francisco game there was the usual com ment that the “wolves” were after Prink Callison, Oregon’s coach, and that the “alumni” were yell ing for blood. The Sunday morn ing quarterbacks were busy, and, according to some newspaper re ports, the demand was general for another change at the Univer sity. Brown for Callison The writer is not a football ex pert although he has followed the game quite closely for some years, written about it, and broadcast it. He is not being paid to coach the Oregon football team and refuses to do it for nothing. He is neither a Saturday afternoon nor a Sun day morning quarterback. However, as a matter of per sonal opinion, he believes that Cal lison should be continued as var sity coach. The showing of the University this year has been good, taking the season as a whole, and both Callison and the team should im prove next year. Callison has been handicapped this year, and it is evident that there has been an at tempt to win games in order to make good in his first season as a varsity coach. Too Many Heroes Such an arrangement has its limitations and does not make it possible for young players to be developed as rapidly as they might be under a setup where the coach is preparing for next season as well as playing the current sche dule. Injuries to Oregon men have dis rupted the team from time to time and an “all-American complex,” which seems to have been enjoyed by some of the squad, has not been conducive to the best of team ef fort. The writer is not aware of any particular cry on the part of the alumni generally for a new coach. Oregon has not had a pleasant history as far as football coaches go for the past 15 years. We have had the so-called coaches with “national reputations” and gradu ate coaches. In the long run, the average has been about the same. Uncertain on Grid Football income is at best un certain, and it is uncertain for next year. Looking at it from the financial point of view, Ore gon cannot afford a program of an expensive football coaching staff. There is every evidence that members of the coaching staff will have to double up and take additional assignments so as to be busy throughout the year in the direction of some varsity or freshman sport. This is no time to make a (Continued on Page Four) 1903-1933 _ Editorial - COLONEL WILLIAM L. HAYWARD nPIIIRTY years of service is too long a time to let pass with 4 out some special honor being conferred upon the contributor of such faithful efforts. Next month Colonel William L. Hay ward will complete three decades at the University of Oregon. Almost 30 years have passed since he first joined the Univer sity’s athletic organization. Oregon cannot afford to let this memorable occasion pass without putting forth considerable endeavor and energy to wards making it a memorable one in the eventful life of Colonel Hayward. The least the school which Colonel Hayward has served so long can do is to sponsor a great banquet and get-together in his honor. Such an event should be held approximately near the mid dle of January, when Colonel Hayward will start upon his fourth decade and 31st year here. Officers of the student body should begin at once to make preparations for the occasion. The Emerald announces at this time that it will cooperate to the fullest extent of its resources, and that on the morning of the banquet it will publish a special edition in Colonel Hayward’s honor. Alumni and students of Oregon, it is incumbent upon you to make this event a noteworthy one in the annals of Oregon. It is more than an athletic incident. It is an occasion in the history of the University. A banquet in honor of the comple tion of Colonel Bill Hayward’s 30th year here should be a lodestone to attract students, alumni, sportsmen and citizens from every corner of the commonwealth. Colonel Hayward is more than a coach. With the passing of John Straub, he stands one and alone as the “Grand Old Man” of Oregon. To him can be passed the same ecomium with which officials of the University of Chicago recently praised the venerable A. A. Stagg: “A great leader of youth and exemplar of character.” Reverend Ristow Will Talk Sunday Rev. Cecil F. Ristow, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, will talk on “My Philosophy of Life” at the Sunday evening meet ing of the Wesley club, beginning at 6:30 o’clock. This is one of the group’s series on the theme it has adopted for the year, “Seeking a Philosophy of Life.” Violet Adams will have charge of the worship service. A social half-hour, following the presentation of the “St. Cecilia Mass” under the direction of John Stark Evans, will precede Mr. Ris tow's talk beginning at 6 o’clock. Refreshments will be served. Dr. Henry D. Sheldon, chairman of social science, will conclude his series of discussions on “World Religions” at the morning meeting of the Wesley group, beginning at 9:45. His topic will be “Christian ity.” % Modernist Defends Style in Cosmetics for Fair Co-eds By PANSY RUBYLIPS We have a certain “old fash ioned” reporter in our midst who clings to the customs of his fore fathers. He dreams of the maid ens of once upon a time with shiny noses and wan cheeks. I wonder if he longs for the time when men wore mustachios and beards. There are a great mafiy more beautiful girls today than there were yesterday. Perhaps he ob jects to this beauty because it is not natural, but “nature in the raw is seldom -pleasing.” There are indeed such things as extremes and good taste in the use of make-up—as well as in re porting on feminine foibles. The suggestion is given that there should be a course in using cosmetics. W'hy not have a course in color effects in cords, for men. Earth-color, gray, mottled, those first large brown spots on the sur face of cream corduroy, those her ring-bone effects in dark gray where they are wrinkled, and that last stage of wide spread earthi-! ness that must have somewhere I beneath it the original attractive j pallor. These are to be found on! the campus but not in any street! in any city. It would be a “real! service to society’’ if men could; learn the importance of grooming before they take their place in the business and social world. The use of cosmetics is a style, and a style is the present idea of beauty for the majority of per sons. I call our friend reporter “old fashioned’’ because his idea of beauty is a bit behind times, but cleanliness is a standard which does not shift with style—and, “nature in the raw is seldom-1 pleasing.” Jewett Speech Tryout To Be Held on Monday Preliminary speeches for the Jewett amateur extemporaneous speaking contest will be held in the seven elementary speaking classes Monday, at which time each group will choose one mem ber to represent it in the finals, which are scheduled for Wednes day evening, December 7, at Friendly hall. Judges for the final speeches are to be Prof. Nowland B. Zane, Dr. Robert D. Horn, Dr. Fred N. Miller, Robert Oliver, John L. Casteel, and W. A. Dahlberg. Win field Atkinson will be chairman. Orval Thompson, forensics manager, is in charge of the con tests. Law Prof To Address Westminster Groups Professor Guy S. Claire of the law school will address a mass meeting of both the upper class and freshman groups on the sub ject of “Patriotism” at 9:45 to morrow morning at the Westmin ster house. The 6:30 meeting in the evening will hear Prof. John H. Mueller in a discussion of the “Relation of Morals to Social Behavior.” At 7:30 the Westminster guild will present a one-act play, “The Color Line,” at the Central Pres byterian church, under the aus pices of the Matron’s guild. Mrs. Warner Returns From Journey to East Mrs. Murray Warner returned to Eugene Thursday, after a trip east, where she visited her son. Mrs. Warner was the founder of the Murray Warner collection of oriental art, now housed in the memorial museum, and of the Murray Warner essay contest, held each year for Oregon students and offering trips to the orient for the best essays on subjects pertaining to the orient. Students Plan i Opposition To Further Wars National Leaders Will Meet at Chicago , MANY FORM GROUP Protest Session Will Convene In Loop City on 28th anti 29th Of'This Month NEW YORK, Dec. 2.n|kccord ing to a recent announcement by the National Committee for the Student Congress Against War, a call has been issued “by a joint committee of students, faculty members and intellectuals . ... to all those students who, sincere ip their opposition to war, wish to find a common ground for effect ive action.” A protest meeting will convene in Chicago on De cember 28 and 29.

Describing the purpose of the congress, the announcement says; “Voicing the will of the World Congress Against War, Henri Bar busse and Sherwood Anderson have appealed to the students of America to take action; to organ ize a nationwide congress against war, to fight shoulder to shoulder with the workers and intellectuals throughout the world against this impending destruction for the ben efit of a few. Students Take Interest “The students of America and throughout the world cannot re main unconcerned and untouched by this danger. Students in China are being murdered and crushed by th4 war movements instigated by Japanese imperialism; students in Germany are being armed by fascism for their own destruction; students in the Latin-Americas are suffering the full force of American and English imperial ism whenever the puppet govern ments are menaced; the danger of imperialist intervention is growing (Continued on Page Four) Foundation Work Begins on Bust of Dean John Straub Sorenson Plans To Have Clay Original Ready Next Term Foundation work has begun on the bust of the late Dean John Straub, which will be presented to the University by the class of 1933. Rex Sorenson, graduate student in sculpture who recently completed the Daly bust, was commissioned by the senior class to make the ■ bust of Dean Straub. Sorenson was allowed $600 for expenditures, $500 of which will be used for the bronze cast. The clay for the original bust has been blocked in, and Sorenson will be gin working on the features as soon as he receives photographs of Dean Straub from Portland stu dios. He expects the clay model to be completed by the middle of winter term. At that time it will be sent to Chicago to be cast In bronze. The late Dean Straub came to the University in 1879, two years after it was founded, and was a member of the faculty for 5 years. He served as dean of the college of literature, science, and the arts; was professor of Greek; and held the position of dean of men. Due to failing health, he was forced to retire, and for the last few years, was dean emeritus. He died Sept. 18, 1932. Page Horatio Alger It’s up from the ranks for Thomas J.

Infirmary Has Three As exam week draws near, stu dents are leaving the infirmary just as much alone as they possi bly can. Three students only are under treatment now, and they are studying as much as they can while in bed. Mary Jane Warner, Sterling Green, and Paulcn W. Kaseberg are the patients. --r Managing Editor Is III at Infirmary With Sore Throat Sterling Green, managing editor of the Emerald, has been confined to the campus infirm ary the past two days with a sore throat.

Rule on Campus Offices Released By Student Head Scholastic Regulations for Activities Announced By Robert Hall "Beginning next fall, any Uni versity student who has been in school more than six term or who lacks his junior certificate after the sophomore year will be ineligi ble for any office or major ap pointments," said Bob Hall, stu dent body president, yesterday. He stated that the ruling would be an incentive to get students to gain their junior standing and ful fill all requirements while under graduates. The new regulations were made by the board of higher education and the University faculty and were announced more than a month ago, but owing to the fact that many students received ap pointments and offices last year the order was waived. Next year the system will go into effect. The requirements have been made uni form for both the University and Oregon State college. Any student on probation must withdraw from all extra-curricular or student activities. Probation will be imposed on freshmen or sophomores who do not have a grade point average of .50, while the same penalty results for up perclassmen whose average falls below the 1.00 point. Freshmen may lift the ban by making a .75 average and juniors and seniors a 1.00 mark. Librarian Urges Payment of Fines Students owing library fines are reminded by M. H. Douglass, li brarian, that these should be paid before the close of the term to avoid the penalty charge of 50 cents made on accounts sent to the business office for collection. In previous years, it has been the practice of the library to send as many as three notices to those in arrears, but this year in the in terests of economy only one notice is being sent/" Further individual statements will not be sent, ac cording to Douglass. In case of doubt a student is asked to inquire at the library as to whether or not his account is clear. To accommodate students writ ing term papers and preparing for examinations the library will re main open until 10 o’clock Friday and Sunday evenings. It will close tonight at 9 o’clock.

It's in the times, what with old Chris Kringle being a bowl of jelly all over the place, the carolers ringing the Christmas welkin with “Wassail, wassail’’ — and the Christmas Revels, next Friday night at the Women's building. We can positively guar antee that for 15 cents, two for two-bits admission, you’ll prob ably have a jolly time.

We might add, for pur poses of general Information, that 50 gallons is 400 pints. There won’t be a bottle stopper in the place. Several unique features are on the program for this year’s version of the annual faculty and student get-together and letdown. The revelers will do it in the old time fashion, from facing balconies, dizzy over the heads of the multi tude; antiphone, or what you will —sort of a "here’s to the maid in the lily white gown, who tripped to the stairs and then tripped down; who tripped to the door and pulled the pin, who let those jolly wassailers in!" This is practically an authentic version of the theme song for the evening. There will be many things more —the informal welcoming commit (Continued on Page Four)
