Oregon Alumni Secretary To Leave Position Robert Allen Named To Fill Vacancy GOOD WORK DONE Financial Curtailment of Group Necessitate:} Resignation Of Official Alexander G. Brown, secretary cf the University of Oregon Alum ni association since May 1, has announced his resignation effect ive December 15, and Robert K. Allen, son of Dean and Mrs. Eric W. Allen, and a member of the class of 1932 at the University has been named by the Alumni council to succeed him. Mr. Allen has been in the al umni office since June in charge of publicity from the local campus in the Zorn-Macpherson school moving bill campaign. He has been active in journalistic affairs on the campus and during his sen ior year acted as campus corre spondent for the Eugene Register Guard. Succeeds Calkins Mr. Brown took over his duties following the resignation of Miss Jeanette Calkins, Shortly after his arrival, the first skirmish in the Zorn-Macpherson school mov ing bill brought Mr. Brown into this campa,gn, and until the elec tion on November 8, he devoted practically his entire efforts to the defeat of this measure. During the first months of the campaign Mr. Brown served as secretary of the meetings held be tween representatives of Ashland, La Grande, Monmouth and Eu gene, and began the early public ity work. From his office the or ganizations of the students under the direction of Arthur Potwin was conducted and Mr. Allen con tinued the publicity campaign with general news releases, special stor ies for trade, community, religious and other publications and special advertising features. Tour Is Extensive After the School Tax-Saving as sociation was formed with Amadee M. Smith as chairman and F. H. Young as campaign manager, Mr. Brown began a tour of the state in the course of which he traveled more than 10,000 miles. Through alumni in the various communi ties Mr. Brown rallied them to the support of the alma mater, con tacted community and civic lead ers, tax league officials, newspa per publishers and others.

Announcement 'T'HE next issue of the Oregon ■*- Daily Emerald will be pub lished Tuesday, January 10, shortly after the start of the winter term. This is the 44th and final edition of 1932. The personnel of both the editorial and business staffs conclude this semester’s efforts by wishing you a Merry Christmas and a llappy New Year. Information on Many Loan Funds of Interest to Students By JESSIE STEELE There seems to be some misun derstanding on the campus con cerning the use and amount of student loan funds. A consulta tion with Virgil Earl, dean of men, reveals the following facts and figures. There is approximately $55,000 capital all told in the student loan funds of the University. The amount actually available at any one time varies, of course, with the time of the year, as demand for loans at the first of the month and at the beginning of each term is heaviest and consequently de pletes the immediate fund. How ever, the money flows back in as these short term loans come due. The A. W. S. fund, which is avail able to men and women alike as it is handled with the regular A. S. U. O. funds, approximates $1,100 in capital, but twice during the term it has been down to about $500 and once down to $250. Many more short time loans are made than long. Last year, an average of three loans to men for every one to women is shown in the figures. This may be due to the fact that men are more inde pendent and less sheltered than women and come to school on a “shoe-string,” Dean Earl believes. Students are never turned down if they fulfill the necessary stipu lations that are attached to each loan fund by the donors. Infor mation as to any phase of student loans is always available at the office of the dean of men. Bear these facts in mind before mak ing hasty though well-intentioned declarations concerning the use and amount of student loans. Alumni Secretary Concludes term in Office Alexander G. Brown, secretary of the University of Oregon Alumni association since May 1, anJ leader of the alumni fight against the Zorn-Macphcrson School Moving bill, is now busy with his final report to the alumni council to be submitted December 15, when his resignation becomes effective.

I can't balance the bud get,” Wilson declared. “There are several points that I wish to make clear. 1— I have not been fired. 2 I have not been threatened by the dean of women. 3—No frater nity has thrown me in the mill race. 4—Dean Rebec has not said that Phi Beta Kappa will not initiate a columnist. Warren D. Smith To Inspect Plant Dr. Warren D. Smith, geologist and professor of geography, an nounces the receipt of an invita tion from the Cottage Grove chamber of commerce to inspect a mineral separating piant, in vented by a resident of CoLtage Grove, which seems to give con siderable promise. “If the plant will do all that is claimed for it," he said, “it may revolutionize the mining industryj in western Oregon.” With the unusual revival of in terest in mining, which the de pression has effected, both the University and Oregon State col lege have been literally besieged with petitions for help and advice with regard to mining and mineral deposits, Dr. Sihith said. And a grert deal of time is being spen in rendering this service. i-— Kiggs To Present Variety Designs At Art Exhibition Water Colors, Ddarwings To Be Show'll Beginning December 10 Alvin Riggs, former assistant professor in architectural design here, will present 75 pieces of wa tercolors and drawings in the gal lery of the art school, in the last exhibition of the term. The dis play will open Saturday, Dece/.i- r ber 10, and remain open during the holidays. i A wide variety of subjects is shown, varying in type from ar- ' chitectural drawings to detailed ladscapes and marines. According to Lance Hart, who is in charge of the display, the work reveals Riggs’ superior talents and artis tic prowess and is by far the most noteworthy display of its kind shown this term. Riggs attended Oregon for one year. He graduated from the Uni versity of Minnesota in 1929. He received his master's degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology and following this time acted as assistant professor for three years at. North Dakota State college. Riggs was recently awarded the Fontainbleau travel ling scholarship, a trip to Europe, Cornish To Go on Air In Series of Speeches Dr. N. H. Cornish, professor of business administration has been scheduled to give five radio talks on “Merchandising" over KOAC. Dr. Cornish will begin his series of addresses December 10.

Bill Hayward Will Be Feted At Celebration Colonel To Be Honored For Service WILL HOLD BANQUET Commit toes N unit'd by Kobt'rt Hull to Assist With Plans; Starr Chairman Plans for a mammoth celebra tion to honor Colonel William L. Hayward upon the completion of his 30th year here have been got ,en under way already. The enter prise will be held sometime in January, possibly around the mid dle of the month. It will be in the form of a great banquet, to which sportsmen and interested persons will be invited from all over the commonwealth. All Oregon's athletes are en thusiastic over the idea and agree that the "Grand old man” of Uni versity athletics should be honored appropriately u p o n completing three decades of service here. Stu dents and townspeople agree that the idea is a good one and are eager to participate in the project. Coaches Endorse Idea It is expected that a consider able number of Bill Hayward’s ex-athletes will be on hand to take part In the affair. ' Colonel Hay ward is perhaps the most famous member of Oregon’s athletic per sonnel. In his long tenure here he has coached hundreds of noted athletes, among whom have been a considerable number of Olympic performers. Hayward, besides acting as head track coach, is chief trainer of the football team and has been connected with the training staffs of several Olympic games teams. Known throughout the nation, he is recognized as a keen authority on track and training methods. All his contemporary on the coach ing staff, including Prink Calli son and Bill Reinhart, the other head coaches, are eager to co operate in the celebration for the “Grand Old Man.” Emerald Proposes Idea Bob Hall, president of the stu dent body, yesterday appointed a committee to assist in the hand ling of arrangements. Its person nel is as follows: Paul Starr, chairman; Bill Morgan, assistant chairman; Edward Bailey, enter tainment; Nancy Suomela, secre tary; Willis Duniway, Roy Craft, and Sam Wilderman, publicity. The idea of honoring Colonel Hayward was proposed by the Daily Emerald in an editorial Sat urday morning. Life-Saving Class To Be Organizetl The forming of a new life-saving class for all students on the cam pus was announced by the men's physical education department re cently. Classes will be organized next term and will be under the direct supervision of swimming coach, Mike Hoyman. As a novel means of interesting men to go out for this class, Hoy man has invented a new game somewhat similar to water wrest ling. In addition to teaching thi pupils the fundamentals of life saving, this sport also teaches them how to swim much better. Course in Climatology To Be Given Next Term A one-term course in climatol ogy, involving meteorology and a study of climates in various parts of the world, will be given next term for the first time at the Uni versity, according to Dr. Warren D. Smith, professor of geography. This course will be required for a degree in geography, which alsc will be given here for the first time under the new geography set up. The subject of climatology should be of interest, not only to majors in this department, but al so to students of foreign trade, physical education, and history, Dr. Smith said. Retained Prince G. Callison, whom the ex ecutive coucil yesterday voted to retain as head football coach hero. The matter now will be forwarded to the state board of higher educa tion and Chancellor Kerr to act upon as they see fit. Registration Will Be Held Tuesday, Declares ‘Pallett Change Made After Notice Is Received From Chancellor Kerr Registration for winter term will be on Tuesday, January 3, in stead of Monday, January 2, it was announced yesterday by Earl M. Pallett, registrar. The change was announced here after receipt of a notice from Chancellor Kerr, sent to both Ore gon and Oregon State, with in structions that the registration be delayed one day, since January 2 is to be a legal holiday. The regis tration procedure will begin on Tuesday at 8 o'clock. Winter term registration in volves practically the same pro cedure as fall term. After making out their schedules, students are required to see their advisers for their approval and signatures. Regular classes will begin on Wednesday. A bulletin to advisers instructing them as to their duties in that capacity during the regis tration day has been sent out. Articles Found The lost and found department, in the University depot, sends out a last appeal to students. Those who have lost any umbrellas, berets, gloves, purses, slide rules, pens, pencils, books, coats, com pacts, or lipsticks, are urged to call at the depot and identify the articles. Council Votes ToKeep'Prink’ As Head Coach No Salary Is Annpuncecl By Group DISCUSSION ENDED Brown Gets Thanks for Service; Hayward Receives Approval The executive council last night voted to retain Prince G. (PrinkI Callison as head football coach for the season of 1933. This action now will be forwarded to Chancel lor Kerr and the state board of higher education to pass upon a3 they see fit. Thus, the governing group of Oregon’s student body has decided to give Prink Callison the oppor tunity to hold forth as least as long as his immediate predecessor in the coaching position, Dr. C. W, Spears, resigned. No salary fig ures were announced, but it is un derstood that Callison will be em ployed for the same sum that was called for in his original appoint ment. 1 Season Ends at .500 This action of the council term inated a period of uncertainty and discussion that has existed since Oregon suffered a 33-to-0 defeat to the Southern California Tro jans November 12. Now that the matter has been decided, it is ex pected that the team will react favorably in its final game with. Louisiana State university next week. In his first Pacific coast confer ence season, Callison finished ex actly at the .500 mark, tying Washington, beating Oregon State and Idaho and losing to U, C. L. A. and Southern California. The executive council also agreed to the terms set forth by the senior class in regard to the Oregana budget. In return for the seniors’ offer to provide for any deficit up to the extent of $500, the council voted to increase the year-book budget from $5500 to $6000. This will give the editors of the volume considerable more leeway in planning their enter prise. Hayward Idea Endorsed At the conclusion of the meet ing a resolution of thanks was voted to Alexander G. Browh, re tiring secretary of the Alumni as sociation, for his faithful service on the executive council. Another resolution voiced the council’s ap proval of the celebration in honor of Colonel Bill Hayward upon en tering his 30th year here, a move proposed by the Emerald several days ago. ;; immy Fergusoi, was named head football manager for 1933 by the council upon recommendation of Head Sports Manager Jean Grady, Football Manager Robb, and N. Thomas Stoddard, assistant graduate manager. Others who recommended Ferguson were Prink Callison and Tank McCal lum, supply straw-boss. Southern Styles of Dancing Reign Supreme on Campus By JULIAN PRESCOTT “Where did it start?” is a ques-' tion that always arouses interest. The latest one comes from this walking style of dancing that pre vailed on the campus last year. It seems that there was a cer tain member of one of “the" fra ternities on the campus who could i not dance, who had never been to! a dance, but who desired to take! a certain attractive Tri Delt to his house dance. He deliberated at length and conceived a plan. The music started and down the floor they walked in something similar to the present open posi- j tion. When the wall was reached j and the direction must be changed, j they did a flank movement to his left. After the end of the floor i had been crossed they again exe-! cutcd the movement- And thus j they wended their way around the : floor. When the next piece was w'ell i under way the certain attractive co-ed suggested that she could do a couple of other steps. But her suggestion was ignored, because such was according to the plan. A second suggestion brought this re ply from the fraternity ma: “This is the way they are dancing down south.” And then they traded with fin other couple. By the end of the evening, it had spread through several couples, with two or three sororities introduced to the “way they are dancing down south." Now, since the certain Tri Delt had a reputation for being one of the best dancers on the campus, and since she put on an appearance of enjoying herself, everyone as sumed that the man was doing the very latest thing in dancing. Now, maybe there will be other ideas as to how the fad of walking around the floor without any graceful steps included in the rou tine originated. But this is the first and it is as logical as most fads. Maybe, instead of Oregon copy ing after the south, the south has borrowed from Oregon as in the case of Crater Lake and Multno mah Falls. Anyway this walking hasn’t bee ndone on the screen yet, so maybe Hollywood can learn something from Eugene.
