Registration at Press Conference Shows Almost Normal Figure
68 Delegates
Are Present
At News Meet
Number Is Only 18 Under
Last Year’s
Baker Publishers Travel Greatest
Distance To Attend Session
Of Newspapermen
Only 13 less delegates registered
this year than last, a study of the
press conference registration book
showed last night. There were 68
blanks filled in, with a number of
"Mr. and Mrs. signatures which
would increase the figure consider
ably. At the conference held Jan
uary 22 and 23, 1932, there were
86 registered. It was estimated,
however, that nearly 125 delegates
were present.
Lucien P. Arant and Bernard
Mainwaring of the Baker Demo
crat-Herald probably came the
most miles to attend the confer
ence. Benjamin J. Kimber, editor
of the Grants Pass Bulletin, was
the first to write in his name on
the register. One name that ap
pears many times on the pages de
voted to previous press conferences
had not yet been written in last
night—that of Hal Hoss, who puts
"Blue Book" under the publica
tions heading and Salem in the ad
dress column.
Mr. and Mrs. B. Frank Irvine,
associate editor of the Oregon
Journal, Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Bede
of the Cottage Grove Sentinel, and
Leslie Scott, chairman of the high
way commission, who was repre
senting Governor Julius L. Meier,
arrived in time for the banquet.

Editors Praised
For Energy Given
To Oregon Study
The editors of Oregon, guests of
the University this week-end.
ought to be received with quite ex
ceptional cordiality, according to
Dean Eric W. Allen, of the school
of journalism, “if the University’s
heart is in the right place- and I
think it is.
"There is scarcely an editor in
the state who has not in recent
i months generously devoted time,
energy, and valuable space to the
'■ study of educational problems and
educational finance,” Dean Allen
said, "or who has not spoken out
with force, cogency, and good
sense for the continuance of sound
education on the best scale that is
commensurate with the times.
“This week’s conference furnish
es an opportunity for the believer
in education to express in some in
dividual manner what he feels to
ward the men who went out of
their way to save it from a great
disaster.
“Oregon is unusually fortunate
in the type of men who govern its
press. They are deserving of rec
ognition. The faculty members
may be overworked and their pay
may have been cut, but they could
still find time and money to at
tend a banquet or a luncheon or
one of the sessions. Students have
many distractions, but it does not
take much time to seek out the
editor from the home town and
shake his hand.”

way commission and former news
paper man. Mr. Scott stressed the
financial stringency facing the
state and urged the editors to sup
port the board of higher education
highway commission, and other
departments in cutting expenses
without impairing ‘efficiency. He
urged them to cite to the legisla
tive delegations from their respec
tive counties the necessity for put
ting aside all personal matters and
the best interests of the state as a
political aspirations in working for
whole.
Harris Speaks
Judge Lawrence Harris spoke
on the cooperation the editors had
given higher education. He repre
sented the city of Eugene. Ed
Morris, president of the Eugene
chamber of commerce also
thanked the editors for their coop
eration and extended the welcome
of the business and professional
men of the .city to the visitors. A
message from Hal E. Hoss, secre
tary of state and former newspa
perman, extending his regrets at
not being able to attend was read.
The banquet opened with the
pefrennial argument as to the re
spective qualities of Deschutes and
Klamath potatoes. No decision
was reached. Dean Eric W. Allen
was toastmaster. Several selec
tions were presented by the Eu
gene Gleemen.
Accuracy Stressed
A demand for more accuracy and
more real intelligence in the writ
ing up of news stories was made
by Judge Robert W. Sawyer, pub
lisher of the Bend Bulletin, in his
talk on how to make the best of
values in news and editorials.
The tendency of reporters to
stop with a routine recital of the
event, losing the entire meaning
of it by not bringing in the back
ground and connection with other
occurrences or policies, was cited
as one of the evils of much report
ing. He illustrated his point with
an account of a story recently sent
out by a Washington correspond
ent.
A basic understanding of the
events in Manchuria, Geneva,
Washington, and Salem is essen
tial to the reporter, news editor,
and editorial writer, if the real
news of the day is to be presented
to the readers in its full signifi
cance, it was pointed out by Judge
Sawyer.
Ad Rates Discussed
A talk on newspaper advertising
rates by Lucien P. Arant of the
Baker Democrat-Herald, opened
the discussion at the morning ses
sion. Reduction of rates was scored
by Arant on the grounds that costs
per inch have increased rather
than decreased as a result of de
creased advertising. He presented
statistics on the costs in Oregon
to substantiate liis statement.
Advertising rates in the weekly
field were discussed by H. G. Ball
of the Hood River News. He also
declared himself strongly against
reducing rates.
H. R. Failing of the Oregon
Journal, presented a comprehen
sive survey of buying habits. It
represents the buying habits of ev
ery housewife in Portland and cov
ered 140 questions on such subjects
as range of prices paid and reac
tion to advertising. It was pre
pared by R. L. Polk and company,
publishers of Polk’s city directory.
The elaborate statistical analy
sis and conclusions will be of great
value to advertisers and advertis
ing managers in determining poli
cies, it is believed by Failing.
Business Under Discussion
In closing the afternoon session
Walter W. R. May, of the Portland
Oregonian, gave a talk on "Pros
pects and Strategies in the Busi
ness Field.” He stated that the
world was due for a change, but
that 'evidences show that 2,000,
000,000 people are going to live,
and an exchange of commodities
will be needed. •
Speaking of the attitude taken
about \ the depression, Mr. May
said, “There has been a great deal
of loose talking, loose writing, and
loose editing in the first two years
of the depression, and no so-called
authorities are talking of the pow
er of advertising, while no con
structive detailed study of adver
tising has been made in this read
justment.”
Depression on Downfall
In trying to throw light on the
theory that the depression was lift
ing, Mr. May stated that the stock
and. bond markets have been on
the up trend during the past four
months, that the car loading graph
is going up. that the international
situation has been bad but no in
dividual market has been broken
and the piling up of commodity
stocks has been stopped, that auto
production since October has

Huskies Take Good Care
Of Johnny Fuller, Forward
By HAZLE CORRIGAN
Johnny Fuller Is one man who
gets good care. Johnny, you
know, is captain of the University
of Washington basketball team
and all-coast player. Those team
mates of his are afraid to trust
him even with an Emerald re
porter, at least before a game.
It was while the Oregon frosh
and St. Mary’s were racing the
court that Johnny told me how
he came to have the nickname of
“Blacksmith.” A sports writer
once noted that he has large
hands and with a quirk of imagi
nation made him “Blacksmith”
and “Blacksmith” he has been.
Not satisfied with explaining
his own nickname, he had to tell
what they call the other players.
Fuller’s fellow forward is known
as “Gigolo” Hanover; Weber they
call “Tiger”; Heaman is “Napol
eon” or "Nap-i”; and Lee carries
the title of “Gob." Petey and
Marky are the Antoncich broth
ers.
When asked what he liked best
about basketball, Fuller replied,
“the winning that seems to be
the thing to play for. We put so
much emphasis upon winning that
it sometimes takes sport out of
the game.” Johnny Fuller has
known the thrill of accomplish
ment on the court. It was in the
Amphibian (Hub Meets I
Thursday at Gerlinger
The Amphibians held a home
coming meeting Thursday night at j
7:30 at the women's pool in Ger
linger hall. All old members were j
invited to attend from Eugene and!
the nearby towns.
The group spent the first part
of the evening swimming. After
wards a program was given, fol
lowed by refreshments, which con-'
sisted of sandwiches and tea. Ag
nes Morgan, president of the or
ganization, was in charge.
Houses Plan Attending
Churches as Groups
A series of “Go to Church” Sun
days will be sponsored by the Stu
dent Christian council for six Sun
! days beginning January 29 and j
ending on March 5, during which
period all campus living organiza
j tions wdll attend churches.
Organizations are contacted and
signed up for place-; on the •■rhed

the "Huskies” were playing Idaho
that he totaled 22 points. Last
night, Oregon saw him swish the
basket for, high points with 17.
Twice he has been second in points
for the coast; twice he has been
chosen for the all-star coast team,
once as forward and once as cen
ter.
“That comes only once in a sea
son,” he said of the 22 points. He
couldn’t explain it, but, he said, if
the coaches could only figure it
out, they would be capitalizing on
it. "Yop get so keyed up before
a game that you can't concen
trate.”
"I like to play forward better
than center," he said. “The for
wards don’t have to work so
hard.” As a sophomore, Johnny
played forward, but last year be
cause of the need for a good cen
ter, he was shifted to that posi
tion. Now he is happy, back in
his favorite stand.
I gleaned from the conversation
that Johnny’s home is in Seattle,
he is a member of Sigma Phi
Epsilon, his major in education,
he is fond of tennis, he went out
for riding in his freshman year,
and he enjoys dancing and bridge.
Playing his last year in college
competition, Johnny is pinning his
ambitions upon coaching.

It has not yet b6en determined
exactly why Dr. Gilbert sent the I
letter over to the Emerald. Per-1
haps he felt that the talented staff
could better handle the financial |
end of the transaction. Perhaps ■
he desired a burning editorial de-'
nouncing the insidious influence of
Wall Street in education. The only
certain thing is that he passed it
on to the Emerald; and the Em

the students.

Hat Market Flops
As Joyous Frosh
Reject Class Lid
A sad, sad commercial disaster
is the first fruit of the edict abol
ishing frosh lids. The Co-op has
regretfully placed its remaining
stock of gangrenously green hats
on sale at a dime a throw.
A disconsolate heap of the
banned head-coverings reposes in
the front window of the store, sur
mounted by a sign that pleads,
"Frosh Lids, 10 cents. Buy One
for a Souvenir." No one heeds its
mute appeal, however, and the
multitudes of liberated freshmen
that throng in front of the store
pass it by with a haughty stare.
They are proudly bare-headed.
Inside all is despair, and the
faint verdeginous miasma that
arises from the caps descends
again as a pall on the spirits of the
occupants.

Dean Praises Work
Movement Here for Improvement
Of Teaching Declared Among
Foremost In Country
The University of Oregon is rat
ed as one of the foremost institu
tions of the entire country in a
field that is now claiming the in
terest of educators, that of im
provement of teaching, it was de
clared here Thursday by Dr. ti. L.
Dodge, of the University of Okla
homa, field director for the Amer
ican Association of University
Professors. The association is now
conducting a survey of work being
done in this line, and Dr. Dodge’s
visit here was to gather data.
"The chief hope for this move
ment of improvement of college
teaching lies in awakening depart
ments within institutions to the
need of scientific study of instruc
tional problems,” Dr. Dodge said.
“At Oregon I not only found this
spirit of cooperation, but several
very significant studies under way.
Progress Is Expected
“Progress in this movement can
be expected to come about chief
ly through the help of technical
experts from the field of educa
tion itself. Here at Oregon this
technical assistance from the
school of education is available
and is being utilized.”
Dean Dodge placed the Univer
sity of Oregon in the same class
With Ohio State university and the
University of Minnesota, where
outstanding work in the field is
now under way. These three insti
tutions are really showing pro
gress, while in many institutions
throughout the country faculties
are merely “marking time,” Dr.
'DnflerP
At Oregon definite programs are
under way in the sciences, in aft,
in English literature, history, so
ciology and in survey courses, and
a system of comprehensive exam
inations comparable to the most
advanced in the country is receiv
ing attention. The survey of the
field now under way by the asso
ciatlpn is regarded as one of the
most important developments iu
higher education in recent years.
He., has already devoted several
months in visits to various institu
tions to gather information. The
Urilversity of Oregon, because of
the work under way here, was se
lected as one of the fields of study
for the survey.
Dr. Dodge Leaves Hero
While here Dr. Dodge met with
the local chapter of the American
Association of University Profes
sors for discussion of phases that
will be covered in the survey.
Teacher rating, major problems in
higher education, comprehensive
examinations, honors courses, ad
ministrative practices, and re
search were among the topics cov
ered at the meeting.
