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.

* 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

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

Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law
school of the University of Ore

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.”

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.

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.

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.”—

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.

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

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

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

ginning with the March issue of
the Masonic Analyist, an organ
for Pacific and Northwest Masonic
lodges.

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

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.
