Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXXIV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1933 NUMBER 49 Tiny ‘Emerald’ Is Authorized by ASUO Officials Miniature Edition Printed To Satisfy Demands of Constitution Ey JULIAN PRESCOTT Expenditure of 20 whole dollars for publication of this issue of the Oregon Daily Emerald was auth orized yesterday afternoon by Thomas Stoddard, assistant grad uate manager. The decision came after it had been ruled by the ju diciary committee that the four day paper was unconstitutional. The ruling was in response to a request from the editor of the Em erald for an interpretation of the A. S. U. O. charter and by-laws. Tuesday the Emerald again will be issued in its regular form. Late in the afternoon the news and advertising staffs swung into action, several hours behind their usual schedule because of the un certainty of publication. By 6 o’clock the news staff had about filled the paper. Less Columns Than Ever However, the graduate mana ger’s office and the business man ager of the Emerald did not pro vide sufficient funds for the pub lication of a standard sized paper. Therefore, it was necessary for the editor and managing-editor to de velop an abbreviated edition that could be published on the meager allowance. This is the first time that the Emerald has appeared with less than the standard eight columns since the spring of 1929. That year, the paper was in creased to eight columns from sev en. In 1924 the size was increased from six to seven columns. The Emerald has been a daily paper since 1920, when, by a vote of the student body, it was put on a five day week basis. The opinion of the judiciary committee as to interpretation of article VI, section 1 of the by laws of the A. S. U. O. reads: “It is our opinion that the word ‘daily’ as used in the by-laws of the Associated Students of the University of Oregon in the fol lowing context: . . . must be inter preted to mean a paper which is published on not less than five days of each week.’’ Decision Is Authoritative Members signing the opinion were Orlando John Hollis, profes sor of law and representative of Dean Morse; Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, and Earl M. Pallett, exec utive secretary. The interpretation had been re quested by the editor of the Em erald last week. Because of illness of Dean Morse and extensive read ing necessary to determine what was the most accepted interpreta tion of the word “daily” with re spect to college papers and those not on a seven-day basis, the opin ion was not received until yester day. Itae in Portland Arne G. Rae, assistant profes sor of journalism, has gone to Portland to attend to the affairs of the State Editorial association, of which he is field manager. Perhaps the Student Body Head Can Reply to These Questions (EDITORIAL) rj»HE president of the student body has said the executive council did not order the Emerald cut to four issues a week. That is very fine, but can he answer these questions: Why was it necessary for the editorial heads of the Emerald to ask the permission of the graduate manager’s office and the business manager of the Emerald to permit an edition to be pub lished this morning? Why did the graduate manager's office and the business man ager of the Emerald authorize only sufficient funds to publish the pathetically small edition which you have before you? If the executive council did not order the Emerald reduced, why is this Lilliputian edition issued this morning? Certainly the editorial staff of the Emerald did not, seek any issue such as this. Who, then, ordered it? We hope the student body president can answer these questions, inasmuch as he says the Emerald was not reduced by order of the executive council. His answers will be interesting. The Emerald reiterates at this time: If a motion is brought before the student body, in the due legal channels, to cut the Emerald, we will support it, provided we feel such action is absolutely necessary financially. • Until the students themselves vote an amendment to the con stitution, the Emerald will continue to ask for five issues a week, and will request that each issue be regular size, eight-columns in width. Today Is Closing Date For Oregana Photos Today is absolutely the final day for students to have Oregana pic tures taken, was the announce ment made by Virginia Wentz, edi itor of the publication, last night.

Sharpshooters Get Off to Early Lead in Fast Game By BILL EBERHART Washington State college bas ketball team partially avenged their three out of four defeats at the hands of Oregon last year when she dished out a severe 30 24 trouncing to the Webfoots in McArthur court last night. Ore gon went down fighting but they couldn’t match up to the Cougars’ sharpshooting. The game was rather slow with long shots being the rule rather than the excep tion. Washington State started off with a bang, Cross, Wills, Johnson, and Gordon piling up nine points before the Webfoots began to spark. Oregon took time out and Reinhart sent in Rotenberg for Robertson. Red added some much needed fire to the boys and Watts and Roberts put Oregon in the scoring by dropping in a couple of cripples. The scoring then see sawed back and forth with W. S. C. ringing up two baskets to Ore gon’s one, until the score at the half was 22 to 11. Simons, Berg, and Houghton were sent into the tilt just before the half to give some of the first string a longer rest. Regulars Leave The nearest Oregon got to the Cougars was in the beginning of the second half when Roberts, Olinger, Watts, and Simons ran up ten points to Gordon’s and Scott’s six, making the score 28-21'. From there on out it was all Washington State. When the game ended Cap Roberts was the only Oregon regular on the floor and Coach Jack Friel had his en tire second team in the game. Wills, Washington State guard, was very much “on” and sank four field goals from mid-floor. Six foot five-inch Gordon, all-confer ence center for the Cougars, was high point man of the game with 11 markers. The Oregon scoring was very evenly distributed with Roberts and Watts leading with 7 and 6, respectively. W.S.C. Early Winner With Cap Roberts getting the tip-off only once during the entire game, W. S. C. had the ball in their possession most of the time. But if their long shots aren't working tonight, Oregon has a good chance of repeating last year’s perform ance and winning the last three games of the series. The two teams meet again to night at 7:30 for Oregon’s second conference game. r—■ .
