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

before the event is to take place,

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

C. A. will have a meeting next

for textbooks,” declared M. F. Mc
Clain, manager of the Co-op.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
