yOLUME XXXIV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, MARCH 3 1933 NUMBER~82
Supervisor Of
Dorms To Visit
Kellogg House
Mrs. Turnipseed Will
Look Over Iowa Plan
NECESSITY IS SHOWN
Lute Statistics Show Demand for
Introduction of Emerald
Low-Cost Proposal
Oregon will learn how the Uni
versity of Iowa is fighting high
living costs. Mrs. Genevieve Tur
nipseed, director of dormitories,
will stop at Iowa City and visit
Kellogg house, cooperative living
organization,. on her return trip,
it was learned from authoritative
sources yesterday.
Details of the operation of Kel
logg house were published in Wed
nesday’s issue of the Emerald,
wherein it was revealed that 23
men were boarding at a weekly
cost of $1.54 each, and securing
residence facilities for a like pe
riod for $1.
Mrs. Turnipseed is now attend
ing a convention at Minneapolis,
and will visit several mid-western
universities to secure information
on dormitory methods and living
costs. She is in charge of all liv
ing institutions operated by the
state on the Eugene and Corvallis
campuses.
Proof Need Shown
Statistics published in graphic
form on this page today reveal
the pressure that economic condi
tions have exerted on University
students. Declining enrollment,
depleted dormitories, and a well
defined trend of students to live
off the campus are the outstanding
features depicted by the figures.
Data for this compilation were pro
vided by the statistical division.
Boarding charges made by pri
vate householders off the campus
run from $10 to $20, an Emerald
survey yesterday revealed. Stu
dents who dine in campus restau
rants pay an average of $18.80
per month, another investigation
brought to light. This compares
with a charge of somewhat over
$6.00 paid by University of Iowa
students living in Kellogg house.
Membership Limited
In a statement issued yesterday,
Dick Neuberger, editor of the Em
erald, declared that the new plan
was intended only for students who
could not possibly meet existing
costs. “The proposal,” he said, “is
particularly feasible in view of the
fact tha# food costs are now so
low.”
“With the men’s dormitory only
34.2 per cent full, and the women’s
dormitory being utilized only 38
per cent of capacity, extensive fa
cilities are lying idle that might
well be turned into living quarters
for hard-pressed ' students. We
have found students spending but
$3.25 a month for food paying
rents of $7 and $8. Adoption of
the Emerald plan, using Univer
sity facilities, would reduce the
rent charges and provide nutri
tious, balanced menus.”
Wesley Club Will Hold
Election of Officers
The Wesley club of the Metho
dist church will hold the annual
election of officers for the follow
ing year, Sunday evening follow
ing the social half-hour. The elec
tion will be held at 6:30.
The candidates for the offices
are: president, Howard Ohmart,
Eula Loomis, Eleanor Wharton;
vice-president, Howard Ohmart,
Vern Adams; secretary, Marguer
ite Davidson, Aleta Kienzle, Her
mine Zwanck; and treasurer, Clark
Irwin, Kenneth Reeves, and Glenn
Ridley.
Bell Will Give Talks
Mr. John Bell of Eugene will lec
ture at 1:30 p. m. today and again
tomorrow in the law school before
an assembly of all legal students.
Mr. Bell will speak on two sub
jects, the first, "Abstracting Prob
lems,” and second, “Recording
Systems in Oregon.” Mr. Bell is u
graduate of the. University or Ore
gon and is now connected with the
Lane County Abstract company.

No Need of Scrip,
Decision of Co-op
Store Executives
Board Vetoes Plan lor Issuance
Of Campus Flat Money;
Banks Re-Open
The Co-op store board decided
yesterday that it would not be
necessary for the store to issue
any form of “scrip” for the relief
of students whose remittances are
in the form of checks on out-of
town banks and who might conse
quently be without funds during
the three-day bank “holiday.”
During the morning hours, a
number of excited students sought
to have checks cashed at the store,
Marion McClain, manager, Mc
Clain, manager, reported but as
the day wore on the realization
was reached that the situation was
not so severe as at first feared.
The board felt that McClain would
be wiser to wait until it becomes
apparent that emergency measures
are necessary before becoming in
volved in the complicated business
of issuing scrip for campus use.
The First National and ifnited
States National banks of Eugene
opened their doors at 1 o’clock yes

expectation of staying open for the

Committee Acts
To Raise School
Appropriations
DALEM, Ore., March 2—(Spe
cial)—Legislative action to
stabilize board of higher Edu
cation appropri ations was
promised Thursday by the
house taxation and revenue
committee.
' The committee, according to
Chairman McCornack of Lane,
at first attempted to provide
for allotment of sales tax reve
nues to higher education in the
sales tax bill.
This plan was abandoned,
however, the committee decid
ing to make that provision in
some other measure.
Representatives of the board,
fearing a reduction in real
property values, asked for re
venue from the sales tax to
make up any discrepancy in the
millage appropriations.
Coaching Group
Will Be Formed
Bv Old Students
J
Craftsman’s Club To Be Scene
Of Tutoring by Picked
Individuals
A new scheme in the tutoring
field is to be tried out for the first
time on the Oregon campus this
term by a group of graduate stu
dents known under the name of
the University Coaching Service.
In this system regular evening
classes in most of the elementary
underclass subjects will be held
preceding and during examination
week. Work in these subjects will
include a complete outline of the
course to the end of the term and
will be based on material gleaned
from past examinations in that
particular department.
All of these seminars will be
under the leadership of graduates
of recognized ability who have
taken advanced work in the
courses which they will give and
who have a firm foundation in the
fundamentals of the subject.
Besides the regularly scheduled
evening classes, for which a cal
endar will be announced next
week, any student or group of
students who wishes drill in some

Students Are Cigaretteless9
Penniless, as Banks Close
By PIERPONT CASH
The unexpected bank holiday
caught a penniless, cigaretteless
campus on its uppers and played
havoc with the social engagements
for the week-end. Co-eds reported
heavy cancellation of dates with
many many offers and few taken.
Amusements suffered most heav
ily, the theatres yesterday after
noon already feeling the curtailed
attendance.
Heavy holding of out-of-town
checks left many students with ir
redeemable wealth, but little cash.
By actual tabulation, one fratern
ity reported checks held by mem
bers in excess of $200 and a total
cash resource of less than $5.00.
Cigarettes became a major prob
lem with many formerly solvent
students and campus eating places
were importuned for short time
credits.
The Colonial theatre last night
offered its patrons admittance up
on signing of an IOU. Since most
of the patronage of the theatre
comes from college students the
experiment provides an opportun
ity to study the honesty of the
Oregon student. How many such
IOU’S will be redeemed ? Most all
of them, we believe, but the test
will be made and the result speak
for itself.
There will be those who take ad
vantage of Mr. Godfrey’s optimis
tic faith in human nature by sign
ing fictitious names or by failure
to pay for them later. In any
event Mr. Godfrey does not stand
to lose any money on the transac
tion, and has made it possible foi
many embarrassed students to ful
fill their week-end engagements

| University Band
To Give Concert
At Igloo Sunday
John Stehn Selects Special Pieces
For Program; “William Tell”
Overture One ol' Best
The first and second divisions
of the University concert band,
playing together as a 70-piece en
semble for the first time at Mc
Arthur court next Sunday after
noon, will have a program worthy
of a big band. No small band
could do justice to the “William
Tell” overture which Director John
H. Stehn has programmed for the
occasion.
Suppe’a overture, “Morning,
Noon, and Night in Vienna” is an
other headliner on Sunday's pro
gram.' Moskowski’s Spanish danc
es Nos. 1, 4, and 5, and the “La
Serenata” waltzes by D’Arcy
Jaxone will put a good deal of
rhythmic pattern into the program.
Each of the Spanish dances has a
distinct style, and the Italian waltz
is quicker and more “piquant” (ad
jective copyrighted by John Stehn)
than the German type of waltz.
The program will open with Gra
fulla’s march, ‘‘Washington
Greys,” which Stehn describes as
“an old stand-by” of military
bands. A very different type of
march, the “Triumphal March,”
from Verdi's “Aida,” will conclude
the program. This number is one
of the few operatic compositions
particularly well suited for per
formance by a band.
Sunday’s program will be the
sixth of the series of 12 concerts
sponsored by the Associated Stu
dents, and will be the. last until
spring term. It is to be free to
students and the public.

500 Quorum Necessary To Make
Gathering Official, Says
Constitution
Deeaure there was only about
half the necessary number of stu
dents present to constitute a quor
um, yesterday's A. S. U. O. meet
ing at the music auditorium was
ruled unofficial, thus making il
necessary to defer action on the
proposed constitutional amend
i ments until next term. It was the
second student body meeting with
in a week to be declared null and
void. One held last Friday was
ruled illegal by the judiciary com
mittee because required notices
were neglected.
An attendance of 500 was nec
essary to make yesterday’s meet
ing official. This is required by
the A. S. U. O. constitution. A
count indicated that 277, slightly
more than half the number neces
sary for a quorum were present.
The tally was requested by Ste
phen Kahn. Those in attendance
did not fill the auditorium, which
holds approximately 480, thereby
making it evident that a quorum
was not on hand, even before the
count was taken.
‘Rain,Ruin, Go Away!’
Those in charge and other par
ties ventured the opinion that the
rain storm which swept the cam
pus shortly after mid-day contrib
uted to be the absence of a quor
m. A big brute of a rain flurry
boomed up out of the south about
12:45 and even delayed attendance
at classes for a time.
Following the session, Bob Hall,
student body president, announced
that a third meetting for the pur
pose of reading the amendments

CONVINCING PROOF
of the need of the
OREGON DAILY EMERALD PLAN
of reduced living cost for hard-pressed students
The need for a low cost living plan for hard-pressed students
is vividly pictured in the following series of graphs which trace
the decline of enrollment, the depletion of dormitories, and the
increase in students living outside of regular organizations. Sta
tistics are compiled from figures issued by the registrar’s office
which are based on “membership” rather than actual residence
conditions. #

Now that the referee situation
has been cleared up, Coach Bill
Reinhart's team will take the
floor at Corvallis in a peak stage
of readiness to do battle against
the league-leading Oregon Staters.
Meanwhile, Reinhart has been
carrying on hard workouts all
week in preparation for the last
series of the season. Practice last
night was slightly shorter than
usual, but none the less severe.
The new offense was functioning
better than at any time this week
and should provide the Beavers
with plenty of trouble.
The Time for Action!
Remaining in last place in the
northern division, Oregon has
nothing to lose tonight or nothing
to gain as far as confefence stand
ings go. The nearest team to Ore
gon is Idaho, and they are five
victories ahead of the lowly Web
foots. The Gillmen, on the other
hand, are out ahead in the race
for the northern pennant and have
everything to lose.
The Oregon team would rather
see the Beavers win the champion
ship than second-place Washing
ton, title-winners for the last five
years, but tradition decrees that
every Webfoot-Beaver tilt shall be
close and hard-fought, and a Rein

Meyers Will Talk
With Pre-Medics
Dr. Harold B. Meyers, associate
dean of the University medical
school in Portland, and member
of the admissions committee, will
visit the campus next Monday to
consult with students planning to
enter medical school.
Dr. Meyers will be available for
conferences with students from 10
to 12 and 2 to 4 on Monday. Those
who intend to enter medical school
next fall are especially asked to
come. Students wishing to make
an appointment should do so im
mediately, by calling Mrs. Alice
Monjay in the chemistry depart
ment. Red books or some other
record of the pre-medical courses
taken should be brought to the
conference.
At 1 o’clock Monday in room
105 McClure hall, Dr. Meyers will
address all pre-medical students
on “Modern Developments in Med
ical Education.’’

A picture of the Order of the

Walsh One of Nation’s Finest
Legislators, Says Economist
“One of the finest men that ever
held public office,” was the tribute
paid by Dr. Calvin Crumbaker,
professor of economics, to Senator
Thomas J. Walsh, who died yester
day before taking over his post as
attorney-general for the Roose
velt administration.
“As I knew him,” stated Dr.
Crumbaker, “he was outstanding
in every respect, clean in body and
mind and a determined worker.
During his early senatorial days
he was quite picturesque with a
long Texas ranger mustache and
western manners. These charac
teristics he carried with him to
the United States senate. His rise
was extremely gradual yet almost
unstoppable. Never a 'pork barrel’
legislator but a representative oi
the American people, he fought his
way slowly to one of the coveted
positions in the land. His stirring
role in the Teapot Dome exposure
gave him international promi
nence. -» #
“As to his ability for the attor
ney general’s position, he was
clearly recognized as one of the
outstanding constitutional lawyers
in the United States senate,” Pro
fessor Crumbaker said.
“Senator Walsh never partici
pated in the activities of blocs or
factions within his party or with
out. Confidence in his fairness is
evidenced by the fact that he was
chosen permanent chairman of two
national Democratic conventions in
which factional filings were in
tense.
“By the death of Senator Walsh
the public loses the services of a
cabinet member, who would have
held the confidence of Americans
i regardless of party affiliations,”
Dr. Crumbaker concluded.

By BRUCE HAMBY
(Emerald Sports Editor)
If Emil Piluso is at Corvallis
tonight he will be there only as a
spectator. Oregon State officials
finally decided to come around td
Oregon's way of thinking late last
night and obtained Jimmy Mitchell
of Spoakne to referee the Beaver
Webfoot clashes. So the final
games will be played, after a week
of dispute had made cancellation
and forfeiture imminent.
The decision was reached only
after Oregon athletic powers,
namely Hugh Rosson, Bill Rein
hart and the A. S. U. O. executive
council had announced that they
intended to stand firmly behind
their edict that the Webfoot squad
would not play if Piluso was
referee.
Merit Counts—They Say!
Slats Gill, Oregon State coach,
and Carl Lodell, director of ath
letics, announced last night after
their conference that Oregon
State would rather win the cham
pionship by merit, rather than by
forfeiture through cancellation of
the game by Oregon.
Mitchell is a well-known referee
in eastern Oregon and Washing
ton. He is very popular there, ac
cording to athletic followers here,
and is considered an excellent of
ficial.
Emil Popular at O. S, C.
Until last night Oregon State of
ficials had been insistent that I»l

They had agreed to substitute any
other man on the following night,
but would not agree to the re
moval of Piluso, who is a great
favorite with both the Oregon
State student body and team.
Reinhart stated last night that
he considered Mitchell a fine
referee and was glad to see Ore
gon State come to an agreement.
