Heart Failure Causes Death of Mrs. Schmidt Mrs. Elizabeth Schmidt, wife of Dr. F. G. G. Schmidt, for many years a member cf the Univer sity’s German department staff, died Saturday morning at the Pa cific hospital following a heart at tack earlier in the week. She was born in Merane, Saxony, Germany, on April 27, 1871. She had lived in the United States for 29 years. Services were held yesterday from the Portland crematory at 1 o’clock. The remains will be sent to Germay for interment. Annual Marksmanship Contest Discontinued The intramural marksmanship contest held annually by the R. O. T. C. will be discontinued this year. According to the reports, the gov ernment economy program has practically cut in half the supply of ammunition allotted to each unit. This leaves barely enough to carry on the regular class prac tices of the rifle squad. The contest has been very popu lar here during the last few years, large numbers having turned out to witness the spectacle. Ducats to Be Available For Seattle Grid Battle Tomorrow; Charge $1 Student body tickets for the Oregon-Washington game will go on sale at the Co-op tomor row morning and will remain on sale until the evening of October 12.

Versatile Humor Editor Escapes ‘Hitchcock Cure Barney Clark, versatile humoi editor of The Emerald and self styled Innocent Bystander, spenl a busy evening at the Emeralc office last night ducking a “duck ing" when a representative group of Delts appeared to make Clark conscious of the fact that he hau given their “tong” undesirable publicity. The argument arose following the appearance of a comment con cerning “rush week” in Clark’s hu mor column. Late last night Clark issued .this statement to the press: “I prefer to take the Delts or leave them alone, but I prefer to leave them alone. I'm just proud.” Students Forget Registration Rule Concerning Autos Time Limit for Obtaining Permits Extended to Saturday Noon, Spencer Reveals Many students have forgotten to obtain permission to drive their cars while on the campus, reports Carlton E. Spencer, professor of law and chairman of the student automobile committee of the Uni versity. The time of registration for stu dent drivers has been extended un til noon Saturday, October 7, Spencer said yesterday, because many of them have forgotten the regulation. Failure to comply with the rules after that date may cause students to -lose their privilege of driving a car. The automobile office back of Friendly hall will be open from 10 10 a. m. until 5 p. m. every day this week until Saturday, when it will close at noon. Registration is free, and “the committee will con sider that there is no possible ex cuse for all registration of autos not being completed by Saturday,” Spencer declared. Huge Mushroom Thrives Down by Railroad Tracks Here is good news for all epi cureans. Professor Louis F. Hen derson, research professor in Con don hall, has recently come into possession of an unusual gigantic mushroom. The plants are found in the vicinity of the Southern Pacific railroad lines on the out skirts of Eugene. Stripped of technical description, they look like a huge turnip growing above the ground; but instead of turnip leaves they have the usual white umbrella top attached to the bulb ous body by an ordinary sten . The bulb and under part of the um brella are a brilliant shade of Ver million. Sometimes they grow as large as a foot or more in diam eter and weigh a pound or two. Although a certain Bohemian gentleman is known to eat this specie with impunity, it is not yet known if the plant is edible for everyone. Professor Henderson has not yet been able to classify this plant. Eugene people, he says, are fortu nate to live in an ideal climate for mushroom growth, and a visit to his herbarium will disclose many strange and interesting spe cies. A Standing Invitation to 'Get Sick9 i Above is the architectural drawing of the new $100,000 infhjnary proposed for the University campus. Plans have been completed, and ground for the structure will be broken as soon as the federal public works administration funds are available if the grant as asked for is made. The site for the new infirmary will be at the northeast corner of East Fourteenth avenue and University street, opposite Hendricks hall. The drawing above includes the proposed infirmary at the left, the dispensary, and health units. The latter two will be built later. j Law Magazine to i Have First Issue Out in December Oregon Law Review Has National Reputation for Amount of Student Work The first edition of the Oregon Law Review published by the fac i ulty and law students is scheduled for December. It is the official publication of the Oregon Bar as sociation. Professor Charles G. Howard is the editor in chief from the faculty and Carl Davidson is the student editor. The business manager is Carl Coad; note and comment editor, Karl Huston; re cent case note editor, James Lan dye; and book review and statute editor, Josephine Rice. This magazine has a national reputation for the large amount of student work published in it. Professor Charles G. Howard in his annual report last year stated that the Oregon Law Review had more students working on the publication in proportion to the en rollment than any other university in the country. The University of Oregon law school has an enrollment of ap proximately 112 students. Fall Term Class In Drama Larger Registration in the technique of acting class is larger than usual this term, according to a state ment from the drama division yes terday. Twenty-eight students are signed up in this class, the men outnumbering the women for the first time in many years. The Guild hall playerc-, however, have suffered a loss. Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt, director of the drama division, though not yet well acquainted with her new students, believes there are several who give promise of becoming ef i fective players. | Those in the technique of acting I class are required solely to be up per division students with a desire to get all they can from acting ex perience. The Guild hall players are culled from that group after a year’s experience if they give promise of making effective acting units. Possibilities of Intervention In Cuba Discussed by Smith “Cuba would be better off as an integral part of the United States, rather than trying to go it alone.” This is the personal opinion expressed yesterday by Dr. Warren D. Smith, professor of economic- geography at the Uni versity of Oregon. “I base this opinion,” he added, “upon my experience with some what similar conditions and sim ilar peoples in the Philippine Is lands. I have no first hand expert knowledge of Cuban affairs. There fore, I hesitate to speak emphati cally on this subject. “I think we should be very cau tions about intervening in Cuba and that we should consider it on ly as a last resort. When, and if. we do, I think it would be well to consider the suggestion of a radio speaker whose name I have forgot ten; namely, that we invite the South American countries to take part in the intervention. "Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico might be well taken into council and joint action called for. This would disarm the criticism which is certain to result if they are not consulted. “I believe,” Dr. Smith concluded, "that as long as we maintain the Monroe doctrine we should respect the interests and feelings of all countries coming within its sphere.” Dr. Smith has won national rec ognition as an authority on inter national trade relations, particu larly in respect to the Philippine islands. His most recent publica tions include: “The Philippine Question from the Point of View of Geology and Geography,” in Economic Geography for August, 1933; "Physiography of the Ore gon Coast,” in the Pan-American Geologist for February, March, April, and May, 1933; and “Dia tomaceous Earth in Oregon,” in Economic Geology for December, 1932. Vincent Raps Architectural 'Mess’at Chicago Exposition By FRANCES HARDY “Architecturally, it is pretty much of a mess,” said Andrew Vincent, professor of art, yester day upon being asked his opinion of the world’s fair at Chicago. The Century of Progress is, ac cording to Vincent, a group of buildings between which there are such gaps that the unity of feeling of the place is lost. It is hard to find one's way around, there being no definite leads or vistas from which one can get his bearings. He stated, however, that al though it is basically a failure, it points a way to success in futpre use of color in architecture. It was simply treated in the wrong manner, he believes. Vincent said that he had no idea who was to blame. Joseph Urban, stage worker and Annual ‘Bunion Derby’ Scheduled October 6 Bigger and better shoes will be in vogue Friday, October 6, during open house, which was accepted unanimously by both fraternities and sororities after each house voted individually on the question last night. For the past two years there have been acrimonious arguments on the subject. This year the va rious houses seemed to accept the idea readily, although the finan cial conditions are strained. M.A. Degree Workers Seek Advice of Clark Oregon graduate students work ing for M.A. degrees in history met with R. C. Clark, head of the his tory department, at the Portland public library Saturday morning. The students, who are using as pects of Oregon history as thesis topics, sought advice from Prof. Clark, an authority on history of the Northwest. Discussion Group for Adults Meets Tuesday Tuesday nights Dean J. R. Jewell of the education school, is conduct ing class for adults of Eugene at the Commerce building on the campus. His course is called “Cur rent Education Principles and Practice.” The enrollment is 25. Discussions of modern education problems, especially those of Ore gon, are held. Seventy-Five Volumes Added to Co-op Rental Library; More Coming About 75 new books have been added this fall to the High Hat library at the Co-op, and nearly 100 more are ex pected. Between 1,500 and 2,000 vol umes of the latest fiction and non-fiction are in circulation. “I try to get books that are worth while,” said Miss Nancy Roberts, manager of the rental library. It was estimated that two-thirds of the people who use this library are Oregon students and faculty. One dollar and fifty cents or three cents a day is charged for the use of these books. designer, who planned the color, died before this work was entire ly completed, and due to this or other causes the grand spectacle of color which was hoped for does n’t hold together as a unit, and gives instead the appearance of a half successful carnival, somewhat glorified. Vincent chose as the outstanding feature of the fair the Indiana building with its great mural by Thomas H. Benton. In a stroke of genius Indiana refrained from clut tering her building with produce of the state, as most of the states had done for their entries, in the Court of States, and placed in stead within the great plain room comfortable benches on which peo ple could sit and view the im mense “Indiana Mural.” The mural (Continued on Page Three) Oregon Dads to Meet On Campus October 21 At a meeting of the executive committee of Oregon Dads, which was held in Portland Saturday, October 21, was selected for Dad’s day on the University of Oregon campus. The general program consists of a mass meeting of the Dads, an executive committee meeting, a banquet, and other activities which will be of interest to the Dads. Details of the program are being worked out and will be an nounced as soon as possible. Education Department Has Large Enrollment The enrollment in the education department is large this fall. In the freshman courses of Dr. De busk the registration is near the 100 mark, a large number for the individual type of work which is to be done in his classes. Most of the practice teachers of last year are back this fall and are filling their positions as instructors at University high school. YMCA Requires Two Hundred Fifty Dollars Two hundred and fifty dollars is needed by the Y. M. C. A. this year to carry on its regular work. Each member of the cabinet is attempting to raise as much money as possible by random so licitation. When the student di rectory is published the whole campus will be canvassed by the group. ; sional sorority, will hold its first meeting of the year today at 5 p. m. in 106 Commerce hall. ; at 7 at Craftsman’s club. All ] members please be present and on time. Thespian meeting has been post poned until Thursday evening at 7:30 in the women’s lounge at Ger linger. Calendar Phi Chi Theta, women’s profes Tcmenids will meet this evening Skull and Dagger meets at the College Side this afternoon at 4. Added Teachers To Assist English .Department Staff Change in English Composition Course Requires Larger Teaching Corps With the addition of two pro fessors, three instructors, one graduate assistant, and a secre t a r y, the English department should find no trouble in taking care of the students enrolled in the many and varied English courses. Dr. Leslie L. Lewis, back from a two-year trip back east and abroad, will divide his time among several English courses including classes in English composition. In structor John McCloskey from Oregon State will also carry his share of courses in composition. Miss Florence Jones, a graduate from Oregon in 1928 returned to the campus this fall as part-time instructor in English. She has spent the last two years teaching at the University of Idaho. Walter Kidd also returned to the campus this fall in the capacity of gradu ate assistant. j Professor Paul X. Knoll, origin i ally from Oregon State will con duct classes here three times a week in the speech division of the English department. 'He is the only new professor in his depart ment. The position left vacant by Professor George L. Andreini will be filled by Horace W. Robinson, and William Thienes will take over the secretarial job in the drama di vision left open by Donald Confrey. The addition of the new teach ers was partly necessitated by the fact that English composition is now a full three-hour course. Underclass Honorary Meets at Informal Tea Tau Delta Delta, underclass mu sic honorary, entertained yester day afternoon with an informal tea at the Alpha Delta Pi house. Jeanette Turner, Marjorie Sco bert, and Catherine Mishler enter tained with piano solos. Tau Delta Delta will hold a meeting for members tonight at 7 o’clock at the Music building. All members are urged to be there. Peeping Thomas Routed by Brave A Ipha Phi Maiden Last spring's prowler and Mon day night’s blond young man who tried to enter the Alpha Phi house via a ladder to the roof may not have anything in common, but they seem an unnecessary repeti tion to members of the sorority. As one of the girls locked up for the night, a fleeting figure dis appeared around the side of the house. A few minutes later Doro thy Cunningham reported that she had just instructed a young man in a. white shirt and a blue sleeve less sweater to get down off the roof outside her window. His head and shoulders were in sight, and she judged him to be about 19. The girls called the police, who saw nothing of the prowler. The police gone, a strong force of the sisters did some detective work on their own. A ladder was found and taken into the house. It later proved to be the property of a neighbor. Much to the embarrass ment of the house mother, a box was found just under her window. Twice during the remainder of the evening the man was seen about the premises. The girls locked all the doors and windows and looked under all the cots be fore retiring for the night. Alumni Magazine To Be Distributed At Close of Week August - September Old Oregon Has Several Features, Reports Allen The August-September issue of "Old Oregon,” official monthly publication of the University of Oregon Alumni association, will come off the press and be ready for distribution by the latter part of this week, according to Robert K. Allen, secretary, yesterday. The issue appearing this week will contain several feature arti cles of interest to Oregon under graduates as well as alumni. One of these special articles is a de scription by Vinton Hall, '32, in which he tells of his experiences in touring Europe by auto last year. Another is a sports article by Bruce Hamby concerning Web foot football prospects for this year. "As the New School Year Begins” is the title of another ar ticle which tells of the faculty changes, building changes, regis tration figures, and other infor mation at the University this year. Some of the general news items are write-ups concerning the ac tivities of the Associated Friends during the summer, concerning the recent changes in the personnel of the state board of higher edu cation. plans of the Portland Alumni association for the Ore gon-Oregon State game in Port land, the new graduate council, and the new bureau of municipal research. This issue of the "Old Oregon” will also include all of its regular features—“The Rambling Report er,” "On and About the Campus,” “News of the Classes,” and “The Family Mail Department.” | “The Rambling Reporter” of j this issue will concern Oregon alumni in Salem; it is written by Jessie Steele, ’33. One in Infirmary Carl Jones, a member of the Emerald staff, is the sole patient in the infirmary just now. Deep, Dark Mystery Attached To Wanderings of Delt Crate I By ELINOR HENRY Eugene’s police department has | very little respect for the Delta I Tau Delta Ford, 1911 model, more | definitely Charles Moore’s campus i crate. Reported stolen from its ; parking place in front of the Ad i ministration building, the antique vehicle was seen at a quarter to ten by an Emerald reporter, and at 10:30 by an uninterested Delt, jauntily parked on the cement sidewalk beside a U. S. mail box and headed, if any force powerful 'enough to move it spontaneously had existed, for the Pioneer statue. The next morning it had dis appeared, and it was reported stolen to the police, who said they’d keep an eye out for it. It had, as several members of the fraternity knew, simply been transferred from its earlier perch to East 14th avenue near the stadium. But nobody thought to mention it to Charles, who seems to have been more or less heart broken at the loss of his beloved “Agnes,” which has been in his possession for all of three weeks. It was not until the reporter called to find a solution to the problem of the sidewalk-parked old timer that Mahr Reymers, falsely suspected as the owner, discovered that Charles had not been told. A party of Delts immediately (for them) scouted about and lo cated the remains. The gas tank was empty, and the pushing uidn’t look particularly attractive, so they decided to leave it for the time being. The Eugene police department, however (one member of which asked sarcastically if Charles wanted the thing for a souvenir!), has declared itself prepared to re move the heap to its final resting (Continued, on Paje Three) Editor Names Oregana Staff For ’34 Edition Thirty Students Chosen For Positions WORK STARTS SOON Madeleine Gilbert Heads Work; Section, Copy, Office Assistants Picked Appointments to the staff of the forthcoming 1934 Oregana, Uni versity of Oregon year book, an nounced last night by Madeleine Gilbert, editor, were praised highly by members of the upper staff. ‘‘Nearly every one appointed,” said Miss Gilbert in explaining her choice of ial workers, “has had experience on high school an nuals or similar publications.
