hours a day any days in the
week that is convenient for
them, Schenk explained.
Several solicitors who were
on the staff last term have
not as yet reported for work,
according to Schenk. These are
asked to do so at the earliest
opportunity.
Dr. Inazci Nitobe, Japanese good-will statesman and senator in
the house of peers, who was on the campus yesterday. He addressed
a general student body assembly on the phases of internationalism.
Dr. Nitobe is making a speaking tour of the United States.
2125 REGISTERED
AT UNIVERSITY FOR
WINTER SEMESTER
More Expected To Enter Later;
Figures Hold Up Well,
Asserts Registrar
Registration for the winter term
just starting is holding up re
markably well and has exceeded
all expectations, a study of figures
released by Earl M. Pallett, execu
tive secretary and registrar,
shows. By noon Saturday a total
of 2,125 students had registered,
while the total for the fall term
was 2,294, or but 169 more than
at present. Approximately 100
more students can be expected to
register during the coming few
days, which will bring the total for
this term nearly up to that of the
fall.
Maintaining actual registration
at this high level for the second
term is regarded as unusual for
any institution. Last year the
registration here fell from 2,870
for the fall to 2,694 for the win
etr quarter, or a loss of nearly
200. With enrollment expected to
reach a final total for this term
of approximately 2,250, the loss
for this term over the winter term
a year ago will be but about 400,
or approximately 16 per cent.

Complete control of all student
activities and social relations by
; the executive committee, the

International
Plans Outlined
By Dr. I. Nitobe
- !■
Welfare Is in Harmony
With Higher Ideals
TALKS TO ASSEMBLY
Existence of League of Natilns
Destined To Rest in Hands
Of Younger Generation
A new .method of arriving at
true internationalism, by being
such an ardent nationalist that
the aim will be to make the citi
zen's nation a worthy one among
all the nations of the world, was
outlined to approximately 1,000
students and others gathered at an
assembly today on the campus of
the University of Oregon by Dr.
Inazo Nitobe, chairman of the
Japanese national council of the
Institute of Pacific Relations.
“As we grow in the knowledge
of other peoples and of the law of
universal progress, we shall real
ize more and more that all the
higher interests of a nation are
in harmony with the welfare of the
whole human race,” Dr. Nitobe
said, “and that they are served
best by cooperation among the na
tions of the earth.
Readiness Is Necessary
“The world is one in spirit and
body. Neither the ghosts rising
from the graves of feudalism nor
the Chauvins shouting from the
rostra of nationalism can tear it
asunder. It is hence the part of
wisdom tp bo forearmed for. t^*e
day when cooperation will rule
the conduct of races and nations.
“We can be international only
when we are national. Take away
the ‘national’ from ‘international’
and we have only ‘inter,’ a ’be
tween’ space, into which we fall!
In these days when all countries
are knit together by many ties, a
patriot, if he is to be a genuine
one and not a sordid professional,
must needs be an internationalist,
for by making his country a
worthy member of the family of
nations he will serve the highest
purpose of his race.”
League’s Plans Told
Dr. Nitobe described the work
and growth of the League of Na
tions, and declared that its exis
tence is now in the hands of the
coming generations. “The grown
ups are too skeptical, the old are
cynical,” he said.
A plea for fair-mindedness in
such matters as tariff, foreign ex
change and other international af
fairs was made by Dr. ' Nitobe.
“What is the use of facilitating
foreign trade, of improving for
eign exchange, of uniting laborers

Plans for Krawl
At Campa Shoppe
Nearly Completed
Plans for the Krazy Kopy Krawl,
sponsored by Alpha Delta Sigma,
national advertising fraternity, are
beginning to round into shape, it
was announced last night by Ned
Kinney, chairman of the affair.
The dance will be held Saturday,
January 14, at the Campa Shoppe.
At a meeting held Friday Kin
ney appointed the following men
to assist him in planning the
Krawl: Ed Cross and Grant
Theummel, decorations; Bob Hall,
in charge of features; Bill Russell,
publicity; Gil Wellington in
charge of the ticket sale.
According to Kinney, useful and
attractive %ouvenirs for those at
tending the dance have started to
arrive on the campus and promise
to outdo gifts of former years.
Each package will be given out at
the Krawl as the guests enter. The
Campa Shoppe band will furnish
music.
For feature attractions during
the dance, Bob Hall is arranging
four skits. As for decorations,
Cross and Theummel expect to
carry out the tradition of former
Krawls and they will be designed
so as to serve as momentos for
the guests.
Wellington and Kinney, co-chai’
men on ticket sales, are selecting
house representatives to sell duc
| ats in the living organizations and
expect to release the names some
I time today or tomorrow morning.
Schissler Called
On Carpet Before
Chancellor Kerr
A United Press report to the
Morning News last night declared
that Paul J. Schissler, head coach
of football at Oregon State col
lege, had been placed "on the car
pet" before Chancellor W. J. Kerr
yesterday for more than an hour.
The football coaching situation
apparently remains in the same
muddled condition as before, for
the conference, Schissler said, wi:l
be resumed tomorrow. Schissler
emerged from the conference grim
ly silent, and said that he and Dr.
Kerr had been discussing "serious
matters."
The coach had previously writ
ten to the state board of higher
education that he would not ac
cept a salary cut. Coach Schissler
has spent the last month in Hast
ings, Nebraska. The visit to Cor
vallis which culminated in the in
terview yesterday is Schissler’s
second visit to the campus since
the end of the football season.

Emerald Down
For Four-Day
Week By Slash
ASIJO Balances Budget
By Drastic Cut
CONCERTS OMITTED
Diamond, Cinder Sports Suffer
From Rigid Economies
Made Necessary
There will be only four issues of
the Oregon Daily Emerald pub
lished this week and every week
thereafter until, and if, the execu
tive council rescinds the ruling it
passed at its last meeting. As a
move to reduce expenditures and
balance a badly-battered budget,
the council voted not only to re
trench the Emerald, but also to
eliminate concerts and sharply re
strict intercollegiate competition
in baseball and track.
These major reductions, together
with others of a minor nature, re
duced disbursements from $125,000
to $91,000, thereby balancing the
A. S. U. O. budget. Two things
were responsible for the necessity
of the action. One was reduced
income from student fees, because
of smaller enrollment. The other
was a financially disastrous foot
ball season, which returned a pro
fit of approximately $4,000, as
compared to $23,000 a year ago.
Editor’s Objection Overruled
The Emerald was reduced to four
issues a week over the vigorous
protest of Dick Neuberger, editor,
wty> told meipbers tof U\e council
that the paper had returned a pro
fit of about $389 last term, and
that it should be permitted to pub-;
lish on a five-day basis until that
surplus was consumed. Neuberger
also pointed out the value of the
Emerald as an activity, citing
figures show that 159 students
work Oil its staff and that it is
read by virtually everyone on the
campus.
However, the council felt that
drastic action was necessary and
that there was nothing else to do
except ttim off one edition each
week. Thus students will receive
only 111 issues of the paper this
year. Last year 134 were pub
lished.
No More Concerts
The concert program was
knocked off the budget completely,
being abandoned temporarily. The
baseball and track teams will
participate in no regular confer
ence schedules either. The dia
monders will meet Oregon State
college, Willamette, Pacific, Eu
gene Townies, and various teams
in this1 vicinity. They also may
play University of Washington,
but wiil take no trip east of the
mountains to oppose Washington
State and Idaho. Track competi
tion will be conducted on approxi
mately the same basis. Colonel
Bill Hayward and Bill Reinhart
will continue as coach of track and
baseball, respectively.
Concerts, the Emerald, baseball
and track were the items slashed
most sharply at the council meet
ing. Other expenditures were cut
somewhat, but none sustained such,

ISetv Manager
Thomas Tongue of Hillsboro,
was appointed by the publications
committee to succeed Roger
Bailey, resigned, as business man
ager of Oregana.
CONTRACT TO PRINT
OREGANA AWARDED
VALLEY COMPANY
Tom Tongue Takes Over Business
Managership; Alumni Page
Under Fire at Meet
At a publications committee
meeting held yesterday afternoon
in the graduate manager’s office it
was definitely decided that the
Valley Printing company of Eu
gene will receive the contract to
print the 1933 Oregana.
Tom Tongue, Hillsboro, junior in
economics, has been appointed
Oregana business manager, suc
ceeding Roger Bailey, who failed
to return to the campus for the
winter quarter. Tongue was chosen
for the position over Ed Cross and
Gordon Day, who were also can
didates for the position. Last fall
he was advertising chairman on
the Dad’s Day directorate.
Robert Allen, alumni secretary,
requested that the alumni associa
tion be granted time in which to
lay definite plans for either the
continuation or discontinuance of
the special alumni edition. The
elimination of the Saturday edi
tion by the executive council,
thereby bringing about more con
centration of campus news,
brought the subject of the alumni
edition to the fore at the request
of the editor of the Emerald.
The committee granted permis
sion to Sterling Green, manager
of Ducdame, campus literary pub
lication, that the publication could
be printed this year as well as
approval to make solicitations for
advertising.
New York Man
Dr. Donald Young, of the social
science research counsel, of New
York City, will be on the campus
Friday, anuary 13, to interview
applicants for grants from the

Faculty Faces
| Further Cuts
In Pay Checks
Appropriations Reduced
By $265,000
FEE INCOME DROPS
I'nlverslty To Operate Biennium
On $328,000; Oregon State
Given $1,600,000
Employees of Oregon's five in
stitutions of higher learning face
further salary reductions of from
9 to 27 per cent for the next two
years as the result of the action of
the state board of higher educa
tion Sunday when it made an addi
tional cut of $265,000 from the al
ready reduced budget for the com
ing biennium of 1933 and 1934, all
of which is to come out of the sal
aries of employees.
This action was taken to bring
the budget for the coming bien
nium into balance, and brings the
total operating and salary ex
penses to $830,000 less than was
appropriated in the two years of
1930 and 1931. The sweeping cut
of $670,000 made last November
brought about salary cuts at that
time of from 5 to 15 per cent, and
the new reduction will come out of
the already curtailed salaries.
Cuts On Sliding Scale
Salary cuts are to be made on a
sliding scale according to the
amount of salhry received annual
ly. The first $1,000 is to be cut 9
per cent; the second thousand will
be cut 14 per cent, the third 20 pen*
cent, the fourth 25 per cent, and
each thousand above and including
the fifth thousand will be cut 27
per cent.
The cuts made by the board in
November provided for salary re
ductions of 5 per cent on the first
thousand, 8 per cent on the second,
11 per cent on the third, 14 per
cent on the fourth, and 15 per cent
on the fifth and subsequent thou
sands received annually.
Student fees for the winter
quarter dropped off considerably,
it was reported by the board, this
also contributing to the factors
necessitating the latest cut.
More To Be Reduced
To meet the budget laid out by
the state board of higher educa
tion, it is expected that appropria
tions for research work, except for
home economics and agriculture,
will be greatly reduced. It is in
tended that duplication and waste
of employees on classes with few

Wulzen Offers Course
On Growth of Infancy
Dr. Rosalind Wulzen Is giving a
new course in the zoology depart
ment winter and spring terms,
“Growth in Infancy." It is a two
hour course given at 8 Tuesday and
Thursday, and credit may be ob
tained by taking either one or two
terms of it.
The course takes up the study
of the general development of the
infant from the ovum to the end
of the first year. It should be
taken by those students who havo
had some experience in biology,
although this is not a pre-requi
site.
Nurses Give Warning
Following the recent epidemic
of grippe, nurses at the infirmary
have been forced to request that
no calls be made on students con
fined until the danger is past. Al
though the grippe is not necessar
ily dangerous, it is highly unpleas
ant, and all precautions are being
taken to prevent its spread.
