Notre Dame President Tells Of Ramblers’ Athletic Plans (Editor’s note: The following story is reprinted with special permission of the Chicago Tribune. Your attention is called particularly to the success Notre Dame has enjoyed by placing its president in direct control of the athletics, and also how it provides for its athletes without the use of scholar ships and money, merely giving them tuition and jobs.) By HARVEY WOODRUFF (Copyright: 1932: By the Chicago Tribune) NOTRE DAME, Ind.—“Notre Dame’s preeminence in football I 3hould say quite positively has been a help rather than a hindrance to the university from an academic point of view, if you will allow me to explain the academic point of view from which I regard it.” That was the preliminary answer of the Rev. Charles L. O’Donnell, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, to my direct ques tion. The question was asked in the president’s office on the second j Cougar Ace This is Rol&nd Johnston, Wash ington State college sharp-shooter, whose 17 points were the main factors in his team’s decisive 49 to-31 victory over Oregon at Mc Arthur court Saturday. He is a sophomore, the youngest man on the W. S. C. team. VACANT POSTS ON YEARBOOK FILLED BY OREGANA HEAD Lauritz, McCall, Shearer, Parker Named by Tom Tongue To Complete Staff Important new appointments on the business staff of the Oregana were released last night by Tom Tongue, business manager of the student year book. Those named to take over departments on the staff were Norman Lauritz, sub scription manager; William Mc Call, assistant subscription mana ger; and Dick Shearer and Park er Favier, in charge of organiza tion. These new appointees are in ad dition to the staff which is already functioning under Tongue and which includes Katheryn Liston, assistant business manager; Ed Cross, advertising manager; Gor don Day and Helen Stinger, circu lation managers; Blema Parker, in charge of distribution; Roberta Moody, office manager; and Mal colm Bauer, publicity manager. Especially active at present are the five advertising solicitors whose duty it is to obtain the ad vertising necessary to publish the annual. This quintet, working un der the guidance of Ed Cross, in cludes Tom Clapp, Phil Corrigan, Clayton Wentz, Harlan Boals, and Corrine Plath. Bailey To Speak Alpha Kappa Psi, commerce pro fessional fraternity will hold its first meeting of the term, today in j room 107 Commerce, 5 o'clock Af j ter the meeting a dinner will be held at the Anchorage. Mr. Ed. j Bailey will speak on the "Pitfalls i of Business.” All members are Uirged to attend. * loor of the Administration build . ing, where I was received by ap pointment. Before presenting in full Father O’Donnell's answer, one should know that all Notre Dame athletic activities are under the direct con trol of the president and his coun cil. President in Control Thus Father O’Donnell person ally engages the athletic director, the head football coach and all as sistant coaches. Football receipts go into the general university fund and disbursements are made there from. Father O’Donnell, a native of Kokomo, Ind., was educated at No tre Dame and took his doctor’s de gree at Catholic university in Washington. He has been on the teaching staff here since 1910, ex cept when in war service, and for the last four years he has been president. He is responsible for the conduct of the university of 2,780 students, subject only to ad visory counsel of the provincial of the order of the Holy Cross which operates the university. Notre Dame’s president has seen nearly all gridiron contests since becoming associated with the uni versity as a teacher. Despite his modest denial, he is a keen judge of plays and tactics as was shown in our conversation. He possesses a sense of humor, as evidenced when he remarked Notre Dame’s most gl&ring weakness, if any, is against a “cripple threat,” a play ful reference to defeat by Pitts burgh, whose team was called crippled before that game. With this explanation of why Father O’Donnell’s views have so much bearing in the matter, return to his amplification of my original question. »porrs Are necessary “Thus far, in its 90 years of academic life,” the president said, "Notre Dame has been chiefly con cerned to pass on to an undergrad uate body a certain cultural tradi tion. This is in line with Cardinal Newman’s well-known distinction between a college and a univer sity: the purpose of a college be ing the distribution of knowledge, while that of a university is the extension of knowledge. “In a school, therefore, that is principally undergraduate in its enrollment, sports have their prop er place, and it is an important place. Even that staunch old Puri tan, Milton, drawing up his pro gram for an ideal college, stressed the part that athletics should play. Curiously enough, the forms of athletics he emphasized were wres tling, which is a game of bodily contact, and fencing. It all comes back to the well established classi cal ideal which recognizes the hu man fact that we are creatures of body as well as of mind or soul. “Others may seek to explain at this particular time why football has become the favorite of all col lege sports. In accepting it as such, Notre Dame is not different from the rank and file of Ameri can colleges. I am assuming, of course, that there is honesty and sincerity in the pursuit of the aca demic program, and I firmly be lieve that is quite generally true. I think it may be even especially i true of the schools that have at tained prominence in football. Whatever was true 25 years ago, this generation of American stu dents is too smart and too mature to harbor the delusion that foot I ball means success in life. “Viewed in this light, I am sure i that football at Notre Dame has | helped carry forward the aims of j the school to prepare men to live completely. Naturally, there are those who do not approach the question, from the same starting ! point.” Then I asked Father O’Donnell whether being known to the public at large as a football college had, oy any chance, caused loss of aca demic prestige. Frankly, he an swered: “As the prestige of uni (Continued on Page Three) Criminal Law Change Oftered By Dean Morse Oregon Professor Givex Proposal at Meeting LEGISLATURE TO ACT Curtailment of “Third Degree” Would Come About If Passed By Voters, Is Belief * Changes in criminal law in Ore gon which would do away with many of the evils of the so-called “third degree” would permit con viction in all except capital cases by vote of 10 of the 12 jurors, and would provide prosecution for of fenses by either indictment or in formation have been proposed by Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law school of the University of Ore gon. Dean Morse outlined his pro posals before a recent meeting of the Oregon state crime commis sion, and was asked to submit them to members for vote to in clude them in the commission’s recommendations to the coming session of the legislature. Curtailment 'of the “third de gree” would come about if Dean Morse’s proposal to bar confes sions as evidence at trials were to be adopted. “Many prosecutors are coming to recognize that the use of confessions often weakens rath er than strengthens their case,” Dean Morse explains. “In addi tion, confessions often prove un reliable because of psychological factors surrounding and involving the accused. Theoretically at least, competent and efficient adminis tration of the law should be able to establish the guilt or innocence of the accused without the use of the confession device.” Jury Charge Advocated Explaining out his reasons for (Continued on Page Three) YEOMEN DECIDE TO HOLD A DANCE ON FEBRUARY 25 Resolutions Adopted at Meeting; Resume of Last Term’s Activities Given In the first business meeting of the term held last night in Ger linger hall at 7:30, the Yeomen passed several important meas ures. Chief among these was a resolution to hold a dance on Feb ruary 25th. The band and the lo cation of the dance have not been determined yet, but George Ben nett, grand factum factorium, de clares that the features will be good, hot music and few lights. A quartet will also be present, but will confine itself to strictly Ore gon songs. A second measure was adopted favoring the calling of Student Parliament; and a resolution was passed recommending that the campaign to secure 50-cent term memberships be pushed. A resume of the minutes of the meetings last term was read, in (Continued on Page Three) Several Possibilities Loom In Emerald Mixup ___EDITORIAL AN IMPERATIVE need for effective legislation regarding • the Emerald faces the student body. Personalities, technicalities and minor issues must be disregarded in a con scientious effort to bring about decisions that will be most favorable to the continued welfare of the publication. Despite such ostensibly silly interludes as Saturday's statement by the A. S .U. O. president, the authenticity of which he defends by technicalities and the remark that “band and rallies are not major activities” in a group in which he included women's athletics and athletic fields, we must face the issues before us and overlook that and similarly pathetic efforts to forestall responsibility. Briefly summarized, the main developments that have taken place are: 1. The A. S. U. O. by-laws demand a daily paper. 2. The judiciary committee has ruled that a "daily paper” must be published at least five times a week. 3. The executive council has adopted a reduced budget in which the graduate manager provided for only four Emerald editions a week, providing the paper maintains its present eight-column form. 4. In accordance with the provisions of the constitution, the editor of the Emerald requested funds for a full-sized issue Saturday. 5. Eecause they did not see their way clear to appropri ate funds for that purpose, the graduate manager's office and the Emerald business manager authorized only sufficient ex penditure to finance the ridiculously diminutive edition whicl^ you received. 6. Such was done despite the objections of the Emerald editorial heads. Several alternatives confront those in authority. To meet the reduced budget, they could cut the Emerald to a smaller size and authorize its publication five times a week, thereby maintaining it as a daily. They also could authorize its con tinuance on its present basis, although funds for publication would be exhausted before spring term was ended. The publications committee meets again this afternoon to consider these and other schemes. The Emerald itself ad vocates the procedure of submitting an amendment to the A. S. U. O. by-laws, calling for the publication of the paper four times a week on its present eight-column form. This is essentially the students' affair, because it is their paper, and we believe the matter of revising the constitution should < be placed before them. Because it thinks an unbiased expression of sentiment in this situation is far more valuable t,han any other, the Emer ald will make no attempt to infludhce opinion if an amend ment is submitted to the student body. It will maintain a neutral stand. Coast Society Elects Dr. Boyer as Officer Dr. C. V. Boyer, clean and di rector of arts and letters on the Oregon campu3, was elected first vice-president of the Philological association of the Pacific coast at the recent meeting of that group, when it met at Palo Alto for its j 34th annual convention. I The philological association is ' one of the oldest and most active | educational groups on the coast. Dean Boyer came to Oregon in I 1928 as head of the department of. I English. Last spring, with the re i vision of the system of higher edu | cation, he was given his present station. Democrats To Meet The Young Democratic League of Oregon will hold a short busi i ness meeting tonight at 8 o'clock at the home of the president, Na than Berkham, 1164 Patterson. The discussion will be led by S. Eugene Allen, treasurer. .. .Checkers and bridge will provide amusement for those who wish to stay after the meeting. _% . ... — Next President Declares Students Are Peppy—Yeah? EVANSTON, 111., Jan. 16—(Spe cial)—“The college student of to day is an alert, peppy, up-to-the minute person,” said Franklin D. Roosevelt in an imaginary inter view granted the Daily today. Gov ernor Roosevelt will be inaugurat ed president of the United States in a few months, according to ru mors reported here. “I place my hopes and beliefs in college students. In fact, so much do I believe in them, that I am planning to take a few of them away from their books and lectures and place them in office at Wash ington as soon as the opportunity permits,” continued the governor, we hope. You see, the enterprising report er had lots of ambitions and an editor, but no enterprise. So, be ing tired of asking comical co-eds and flippant frosh about cozies and plays—football and otherwise—we decided to imagine an interview ; with a real big shot. Frankie the : Fearless was a good subject, so we ! hope no one will mind. I “I have been delighted in my vis it here. The girls are mighty pret ty. My idea of a beautiful girl is a wholesome girl. She must weigh at least 135 pounds, wear her hair off her forehead and behind her ears, dress simply and in bright colors,” believes Roosevelt. "Ears show character and the forehead shows intelligence. “I feel that students here should be given more opportunity to re lax," he said. "As I look about the campus the only things that spoil the youthful spirit are the tense looks on people's faces—and too many books. "Personally I feel that chewing gum is a good way to relax. If we only had more time to sit before the fire and chew gum!” he de clared. “When I’m president ...” he began. And the great man heaved a great sigh in a big way. "But what's the use . . . you’re only making all this up anyway. Well, | come back in about five years, and t I'll give you a real interview.”— [ (From Northwestern.; SOPHOMORE TRIO IS SELECTED FOR SKULL AND DAGGER . —i— Grant Thedmmel, Bill Neighbor, Hartley Kneeland Pledged at Krazy Kopy Krawl • The first sophomores ever so honored, Bill Neighbor, Grant Theummel, andt Hartley Kneeland, were pledged to Skull and Dagger, underclass service honorary, at the Krazy Kopy Krawl in the Campa Shoppe Saturday evening. "Heretofore only freshmen have been pledged to the organization,” said Walt Gray, president of the honorary, “but the accomplish ments of these men have been so high that they merited the estab lishment of a new precedent to pledge them.” Besides Gray, Bob Hall, presi dent of the associated students, and Neal Bush, past president of Skull and Dagger, presided at the pledging. Initiation will be in about two weeks. Election to the organization is based on the men’s service to their class, the A. S. U. O., the number and kind of other activities en gaged in, and the quality of the service. Another cardinal point in the selections is scholarship. Theummel is assistant advertis ing manager of the Emerald, a member of Alpha Delta Sigma, na tional advertising honorary, and is engaged in class activities. Kneeland was freshman repre sentative on the directorate of th < frosh glee, and assisted with the Christmas Revels, as well as en gaging in other campus activities. Neighbor was a sophomore man ager of football, and was on the directorates of the frosh glee, and sophomore informal, and helped organize the frosh bonfire. Dunn Speaks to YWCA Group on Bible History Last night the Y. W. C. A. Bible group heard Professor Frederic S Dunn, of the Latin department deliver the first lecture of a series to be held during the term at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow. Mr. Dunn’s topic was a preliminary survey ol biblical history. During the entire term Mr Dunn will lecture every Mondaj night from 9:15 to 10:15. Eileet Hickson is chairman in charge ol the weekly lectures. Plans Changes Wayne L. Morse, dean of the University law school, wlio has submitted several highly impor tant proposals to the Oregon state crime commission, of whieli he is a member. At present Dean Morse is confined to ills home, re covering from an attack of influ enza. Charles Slryker Named Chairman Of Senior Formal Plans for the Senior Ball, great est social event of the winter term and most formal of all campus dances, were launched last night when Charles Stryker, senior in economics, was named chairman for the affair by Cecil Espy, senior class president. The affair has been set for Saturday eve ning, February 4, in Gerlinger hall. Stryker declared that prelimi nary plans are already well under way, and that his directorate ap pointments will be complete and ready for publication tomorrow. The dance will be preceded by the traditional reception for the graduating class, in alumni hall of Gerlinger, Stryker declared. Since the dance is strictly for mal, everyone will be invited to attend except freshmen. Miss Bloomer Offers New Hour of Dancing The physical education depart ment is introducing an hour of dancing, open to any person who would be interested in such-- a course. The group will meet Mon day and Thursday afternoons at 1 in the dance studio at Gerlinger hall. The class will take up work on the production of different types of dances, and the presentation of recitals. Miss Ituth Bloomer will act as instructor. Lockers and equipment are offered free. Professor Frederic S. Dunn of the Latin department has been asked to write a series of articles on the subject of "Symbolism” be ginning with the March issue of the Masonic Analyist, an organ for Pacific and Northwest Masonic lodges. 17^*—— The Weather Moderate temperature with snow flurries both Saturday and Sunday was the dominant weather condition over the week-end. Be ginning Saturday afternoon a few snow flaltes found their way to terra firma but melted immediate ly upon falling. Again Sunday morning a nor’ wester seemed imminent but the storm spent itself in a short time without having gained serious pro portions. Biting temperature greeted ear ly risers yesterday morning with the minimum temperature at 27 degrees. Forecast for today offers little promise for better weather. Dally forecast: Partly cloudy to day with little change in tempera jture; gentle to moderate variable I winds offshore. Local statistics: Minimum tem ' perature yesterday, 27 degrees. Maximum Sunday, 38. Precipita tion, .12 of an inch. Willamette river, 2 feet. Wind from north. Decision Still Pending as to Organ’s Fate Funds Not Available for Daily Publication NEW PLANS OFFERED In Defending His Statement, Hall Says llally and Band Not “Major Activities" Indecision as to the action to be taken on the publication of the Emerald marked the deliberations yesterday of the publications com mittee. One thing was certain: that the executive council had not appropriated sufficient funds for publication of am eight-column pa per five days a week. What’s to do about it ? Some favored an eight-column paper four days a week. But others felt that a seven column paper five days a week would be better. Others ventured that an eight page paper the size of last Satur day’s sheet would be the solution. Editor for Student Vote The suggestion that an amend ment to the A. S. U. O. constitu tion striking the word “daily’’ from the name of the Emerald and reducing publication to four days a week be submitted to the stu dent body, was made by Dick Neu berger, editor. He stated that the Emerald would remain absolutely neutral and would not try to influ ence the vote. me puoncauons commiu.ee win meet this afternoon at 3 o’clock to reach a decision. No indication of what turn the action might take could be garnered last night. Robert Hall, A. S. U. O. presi dent, refused to make any state ment yesterday corncerning his charge that the Emerald had been guilty of ‘‘errors In reporting” the meeting of the executive council at which it was stated to have been decided that the Emerald should be published only four days a week. Hugh Rosson, graduate manager, stated emphatically that he had no comment to make. Hall's charge was: Hall Charges Errors “The stories that have recently appeared in the Emerald stating that the executive council had cut the Emerald to four days a week are due to errors in reporting.” The Emerald, in its issue of Jan uary 10, said: "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." Further down in his statement. Hall said, "There was no state ment made as to the number of issues." When asked why his communi cation to the editor did not Include all activities on the campus in list ing the percentages of reduction in budgets, Hall said that he had included only the major activities and that he had listed those which had taken more of a cut than the Emerald, showing football as the only one that had been reduced less. When asked where the band and rally committee came in, he implied that they were not as im portant as those listed and hence were not included. - - j I odayls Deadline For Subscribers To 1933 Oregana nnODAY is the deadline for all those who wish to secure subscriptions to the 1933 Ore gana. Absolutely no subscrip tions will be accepted later than today, according to officials in charge of the drive. Subscriptions may be obtain ed from either the respective house representatives or at the A. S. U. O. office in McArthur court. All students who have not paid the $3 first payment on their subschiptions must do so before February 1, states Tom Tongue, business manager. Some students failed to have this sum added to their regis tration fees this term, and others registered late. Those who have not paid may do so at the Oregana office in McArthur court on or before February 1.
