NUMBER 4 Webfoot Team To Play Game With Gonzaga Spokane Scene of Battle This Afternoon 2B G BIDDERS LEAVE Coaches of Both Squads Gloomy; Contest Will Be Acid Test Of Callison Men By MALCOLM BAUER • Twenty-eight Oregon Webfoots will take the field against the Gon- j zaga Bulldogs this afternoon at Spokane with their belts set for their first real grid test of the 1933 season. What Prink Callison and his boys do in the north today will be a fair example of what Ore gon fans can expect from them all year, and Callison and the players know that. It is the acid test. Last year the Gonzaga struggle came further along in the sched ule, and little atmosphere was cre ated for the clash with the little school from northeastern Washing ton. The game was considered no more than a "breather.” But this year the setting has changed. Huskies Get Seare Last Saturday a long down trodden Bulldog leaped at the high ly touted Washington Husky, and Jimmy Phelan’s pet was fortunate in getting away with a 13 to 0 win. Regardless of the loss of the great Max Krause, all-coast full hack, Handsome Mike will have a team of veterans to meet the chal lenge of the Eugene invaders. To fill the place of his big star, who is now playing- professional foot ball, Mike is well fixed with Max Etter and Johnny Kerns, the for mer, a two-year letterman of no mean line-plunging ability, and the latter a one-striper. Prom end to' end in the line, and in every posi tion in the backfield the Gonzaga mentor will have a letterman . . . lettermen who last year came within an ace of upsetting the con fident Webfoots on Hayward field. As for lettermen, the Webfoots, themselves, are bolstered with let ter winners in every position; and, in fact, hold the edge over the northern outfit with 22 last year regulars, two more than the Bull dogs boast. When the two elevens line up for the opening kick-off every man on the playing field will be a letter winner and a veteran-. Coaches Gloomy In spite of such a bright outlook on both sides of the fence, both coaches are making ready for to day’s game with a cloud of gloom cloaking their every prediction. Each points to the other long line of veterans, each points to his own important losses from last year, and bemoans the short practice pe riod to date. When it comes to practice, the Bulldogs have it all over Prink’s aggregation. While the Oregon team has been limited by coast conference rulings to a delayed start in practice, the Spokane squad has been grinding away for weeks and shows promise of near mid-season form. Oregon Mothers’ Group Planning Social Event Mrs. Walter Cook, 436 East 18th North, Portland, will be hostess to all Oregon Mothers at her home October 10. Mrs. Cook is president of the Oregon Mothers’ associa tion. Portland mothers will pour tea. Formerly this was just for moth ers of freshmen, but this year Mrs. Cook is inviting the mothers of all students who are attending, or have attended, school here. Mrs. Hazel Schwering, dean of women, urges all students to write to their mothers and invite them to this affair, which is the first large social event of the year, for them. Tuberculin Test New Service Now Offered Any student who wishes a tu berculin test may call at the dis pensary within the next few days and receive a test without charge. The test was a new feature in the physical examination given to en tering students this year. The method used indicates whe ther or not a person has ever had a tuberculosis infection. Anyone who tests a strong positive will then be further examined, and if necessary, his chest will be X-rayed. It enables the health service to pick out those people who need further observation. VW( A Campaign To Get Underway Monday Evening Memberships to Be Solicited or Personal Basis; Fifty-Cent i'ee for Six Months _ A Y.W.C.A. campaign, lacking the competitive element featured in the drive last year, will get un derway Monday evening when a group of speakers will invade va lious women's living quarters tc explain the principles of the cam paign this year. Whereas the solicitations of last year were made in the form of a 100 per cent house membership, those of this year will be "iven on a personal basis. Contributions will be made in a 50-eent semes ter sum, rather than :n the dollar a-year fee paid in 1932-33. In addition to the speakers wh i will meet with the houses Monday evening, the finance group is com posed of a representative in each organization. Preliminary speak ers are Marygolde Hardison, Helen Binford, Gwen Elsemore, Geraldine Hickson, Peggy Chessman, Eileen Hickson. Catherine Coleman, Lois Greenwood, Virginia Hartje, Ma rie Saccamanno, and Maxine Goetch. New Debate Style To Be Used Again By Varsity Team Castl'd and Dalilberg to Coach Oregon Team Symposium System Second Year The symposium system of de bate that was used at the Univer sity last year will be utilized again this season, according to Professors John L. Casteel and W. A. Dahlberg, varsity debate coaches, who have tentatively set the first call for debaters for some time next week. This system, which was origi nated at the University of Cali fornia, is quite a departure from the old type of competitive de bate. Under this system, rather than having two teams, each one pre senting only the evidence favor able to its side of the question, there are five persons all working together, each one presenting one phase in an endeavor to give the audience a complete understand ing of the question. Following the last speech the audience is permitted to ask ques tions, which the speakers in the symposium must answer to the best of their ability. It is this last feature that makes the sym posium interesting according to those familiar with the system. Professors Casteel and Dahl berg, exponents of this new sys tem, say that this debate arrange ment has several advantages over competitive debate in that it gives the audience an opportunity to gain a more complete understand ing of the question, gives more students an opportunity to partici pate, and is much less expensive. Social Calendar Filling Up Rapidly The social calendar is being filled up rapidly with social events and will be printed at the end of next week. Any organization de siring to schedule a dance should io so promptly and at least a week before the event is to take place, [f this regulation is not adhered to, the dance will be cancelled. Students are asked not to limit their patrons to a small group but are urged to invite a larger num ber who will be congenial. A list will be made of the available chap erons and will be kept on file in the dean of women’s office. All application blanks must be filled jut in full before a dance can take place. Campus Calendar The advisory board of the Y. M. C. A. will have a meeting next Wednesday night at 7:30. Dr. Nel son L. Bossing, chairman of the board will preside. The ‘ first open meeting of the Westminster guild will be held Monday evening at 8 o’clock. Phi Beta, music and drama hon orary, is to give a rushing tea from 4 to 5 this afternoon at the Theta house. Heads of all houses: A. W. S. requires all Thespians to take freshman orientation lectures Thursdays at 2:00 in 110 Johnson, during fall term. Tryouts for Master Dance will be held soon, members decided Wed nesday night at the first meeting of the term. I Faces First Test of Season f PROBABLE LINEUPS TODAY OREGON Mors;' . Engle . Chirk ..

V. Alward, manager of the Bank of California, and Raymond B. Wilcox, president of Wilcox-Hayes company, importers and exporters, have recently been appointed to the Foreign Trade Advisory board of the University, according to A. L. Lomax, professor of business ad ministration. This board, which was created in December, 1930, is composed of Portland business men who are en gaged in foreign trade. Once a month they hold a meeting with Professor Lomax to discuss cur rent problems of * he Port of Port land. The information which is collected in this way is used in the foreign trade classes of the Uni versity. Other members of the board in clude L. W. Hartman, J. T. Steeb company, W. W.

Each student passing the examination is awarded a certifi cate signed by members of the board stating his qualifications in the field of foreign trade. , Students Spend Less For Books This Year “To date, students have spent less than an average of $4 each for textbooks,” declared M. F. Mc Clain, manager of the Co-op. "Book sales seem to reflect the general, times.” Last year the Co-op bought more used books back than any other previous year. “We claim we kept many students from thumbing their way home,” said i McClain. .

Former Oregon Girl Student Now Kin to Hindu Maharajah She was a strange child, people j say of her—a child of nature who ' : talked with bugs, birds, and beasts of the field and told fantastic tales i about her discourses with them. The world knows her as Opal Whiteley, oldest of the five chil dren of Mr. and Mrs. Kd Whiteley of Cottage Grove, but she has since Childhood, claimed to be a foster child, supposedly of French par entage. She has denied her parents and all her relatives and refuses all kinship with them. She has re cently been seen in India, in the city of Udaipur, living in pomp and luxury and established as a relative of a Hindu Maharajah, ller grandmother, living in Cot tage Grove, says of her: “Since1 childhood she has claimed that she is an adopted child, and a very early age told lies about what the 1 trees, snakes, and bugs told her. She has a sister Chloe, and they look so much alike that people confused them when they were children. Opal Whiteley attended the Uni versity of Oregon in 1916 and 1917. Dr. Warren D. Smith, who had her in his general geology class at the | time, and also served as her advis-, or, lauded her unusual ability, and striking personality. “She was the most unusual stu dent that I came in contact with (Continued on Page Three) Emerald Story Asking Place for Brilliant Girl Assists Twelve Others The all-seeing Eye that watches over all good news writers and their proteges dem onstrated itself in the fact that 12 girls now have jobs as a di rect result of a story which appeared in Wednesday’s edi tion of the Emerald, concern ing the brightest freshman girl who either had to get work or leave school. By the time the paper was out, the girl in question had already obtained a job, but the answering offers of positions placed 12 otherwise jobless girls. Moslem Speaker May Come Soon The assembly committee will meet as soon next week as pos sible to decide whether or not Syud Hassain, Moslem lecturer, will be asked to come to the Uni versity for lecture purposes. The committee is composed of Dean Karl Onthank, Dean Sheldon, Dean Barnett and Dean Townsend. The primary purpose of this tour is for assembly lectures, and Hassain will also talk to other groups. Hassain was in Eu gene about s:x years ago and made acquaintances throughout the Uni versity. He attended school in India and also at Oxford univer sity and is highly educated. He is well known as a journalist in Asia and Europe and has lec tured a great deal in the west. Hassain represents the point of view of millions of the peoples in India. The students of the journalism editing class are planning to meet with him the night before his lec ture assembly, which, if he is in vited here, is scheduled for Oc tober 26. Mrs. Irene CJerlinger is the book ing agent for the lecture tour. Librarian Leaves Mrs. Jacquoise Kirtley Learned, law librarian, left yesterday for Seattle to attend the University of j Washington library school. She is ! on leave of absence for the school j year. University Publicity Work Will Continue On Y ear-Round Basis Associated Friends and Living Groups On Campus Pledge Support to Plan; Campaign Begun in Summer By DOITG POLIVKA. Renewal of a year-round program of promotional ant* publicity ,vor!: in behalf of the University of Oregon was pledged last night oy the board of directors of the Affiliated Living Groups, represent ing every fraternity and sorority on the campus, and the Associated friends of the University, an orgnnizath n of Eugene citizens. These organizations, working together throughout - past sum mer, brought to the attention of 10,000 high school graduates all over the state the facilities of the University, and at the meeting last night Co-op Board Will Inaugurate New | Policy for Sales | Student-Owned Store to Increase Size of Stock; Will Also Add New Lines A more widespread line of mer chandise covering a larger price j range was the policy for an ag- ' gressive sales campaign adopted for the coming year by the Co-op board yesterday at its first fall meeting. The policy of the store as an nounced last night by Orval Thompson, secretary of the board, will seek to widen the scope of the Co-op's lines to include a great deal of merchandise not carried before, or carried only in small stock. The plan aims to create in the Co-op a store which will serve most of the immediate needs of students conveniently and reason ably. Full attendance marked the first meeting of the year. Dean James H. Gilbert and Dean John F. Bo vard were the representatives of the faculty. George Hibbard, chair man of the board, presided. Other members were Sterling Green, Or val Thompson, Ted Pursley, Bud Johns, and M. F. McClain, mana ger of the store. New Instructors Added to Faculty Staff at Villard I)r. Lewis Returns to Campus After Two-Year Leave; O.S.C. Contributes Adding six new professors and one new office hand, the English department should keep its stu dents as busy as ever before, if not more so. Two of the instruc tors are replacements, however, while two others are graduate as sistants. Dr. Lewis, back from a two-year trip, where he devoted most of his time to research work, will divide his time among several classes of English composition. Professor McClosky from Oregon State will also carry courses in composition. Miss Florence James, a graduate from Oregon in 1928, returned to the campus this fall as a graduate assistant in the English depart ment. She has been teaching at the University of Idaho for the past two years. Miss James will work on a part time basis. Walter Kidd, the other graduate assistant to come to Oregon this year, will be entirely new to the campus. The speech department will also acquire the services of a new in structor. Professor Knoll, origin ally from Oregon State, will con duct his classes here three times a week. The position left vacant by Pro fessor George L. Andreini will be filled by Horace W. Robinson end William Thienes will take o\er Donald Confrey’s work in t' drama department. The addition of the new tea alt ers was partly necessitated by the fact that English composit.on is now a full three-hour course. Improvement Noticed In Speech Enrollment Professor John L. Casteel, di rector of the speech division of the department of English, reports that speaking classes have attract ed a large number of students this year. While registration in the ele mentary courses is approximately the same as last year, the enroll ment in the advance classes such as argumentation has doubled and tripled. me won; was ueemeu so sausiac tory that plans were formulated for continuation and extension of the work. Repo-’ Presented The repor abort T. Miller, executive secretary of the Associ ated Friends, was presented by Jack R. Cate, chairman of the board of directors of the Affiliated Living Groups, and showed the following as the result of a sum mer's work on the part of Miller and his assistants: 1400 letters written; 416 prospective students interviewed; 10,000 newspapers sent to Oregon dads, mothers and alumni, and 2,000 mimeograph let ters sent to Oregon dads, mothers and alumrf Uvidenev. o_ .effectiveness of the work was given at the meet ing when it was reported that freshman enrollment on this cam pus is well above that on the Ore gon State college campus. Recruiting Plan Begun The plan of conducting a sum mer recruiting program was con ceived last June by the Affiliated Living Groups, a union of all Greek-letter organizations on the campus. Early in their campaign they joined forces with the Asso ciated Friends, which is composed largely of Eugene business and professional men. Cate declared last night that this is the first time in the his tory of the University that all men’s and women's groups have united in an undertaking of such magnitude. The work was directed through the summer by Robert T. Miller, now doing graduate work at Co lumbia university, with the assist ance of David G. Wilson, a gradu ate in the class of 1933. Credit for the success of the program was given by Cate to the energetic work of Miller and Wilson. Group To Get Report Members of the board of direc tors of the Affiliated Living Groups are Charles Thomas, Vir ginia Va^Kirk, Bernice Baynard, and Cate. Next week Cate will present Miller’s report to the general council of the Affiliated Living Groups, comprising the personnel of the interfraternity council and Pan-Hellenic. One of the major tasks under taken during the summer’s work was the publication of a news paper, “The University of Oregon Times,” which described the or ganization of the University and encouraged high school students to continue their education. This was edited by Wilson. Comments Favorable Concerning the “University of Oregon Times,” Charles D. Byrne, director of information for the Oregon state system «f higher ed ucation, made the touowing com ment: "The little paper is attractively arranged and the material is pre sented in a popular vein that I am sure will have an appeal to prospective students. I wish to (Continue■' mi Page Pour) Topcoats Left at ‘Hello’ Dance Await Owners During the “hello” dance last Saturday night, Bob Miller’s Check room suffered a total collapse when the racks deposited all of the coats and hats in a tangled pyramid on the floor. As a result, two men are facing the winter without topcoats, and a third has the wrong garment that may him warm but p bably . .it as well as his own. Two of the topcoats and a hat are at the graduate manager’s of fice and if the student with the wrong coat will call and trade back, and if the two others who forgot their wraps will identify these, the A. S. U. O. authorities will be greatly relieved.
