its regular duties it will present
the va.rious coaches of the school
and will show in pictures the real
inside plan and purpose of the Or
der of the O.
Both of these ideas are some
thing original and will present
something which has never been
done here before.
The big billboard placed between
Oregon and Commerce halls ask
ing who is to be the all-American
girl is arousing considerable com
ment. When questioned, the Or
der of the O heads stated that
she will be selected from the co
eds present at the affair at the
Igloo. She js to be presented with
a loving cup and some other suit- j
able award. i
The selection of the patrons and I

Preparations
Skull, Dagger '
No Longer for
Return of Lids
Iiiterfratornity Council
Refuses Support
SENTIMENT OPPOSED
Reported Opinion of Sophomore
Honorary Group Bearn
Dittlo Weight
Frustrated in their attempt to
secure the support of the Inter
fraternity Council, Skull and Dag
ger, men’s sophomore honorary,
at a meeting yesterday afternoon
renudiated their previous state
ment that they \^ere 100 per cent
in favor of the return of green
iids for the class of 1937.
Ed Martindale, president of the
Interfraternity council this year,
stated yesterday, “The sentiment
of the council was so greatly
against the return of the green
lids for the entering freshmen,
that the question, although for
mally introduced at our last meet
ing, was not voted upon; it was
not considered fit for discussion.”
The honorary is helpless to act
without the sanction of the Inter
fraternity council.
It was learned from- reliable
sources that the Skull and Dagger
group had formally voiced their
opinion in favor of the return of
the frosh lids. Cosgrove LaBarre,
president of the sophomore hon
orary, said, however, “The matter
was left entirely up to the Inter
fraternity council to decide. Any
way they decide the matter, would
have been all right with us.” He
continued, “We wish to go on rec
ord as neither for nor against the
measure.”
This is the first occurrence of
the much debated subject since
last fall when Bill Bowerman, then
vice-president of the A. S. U. O.,
had a hand in abolishing the back
ward tradition. The sentiment
then, as now, was greatly against
the wearing of green lids for the
incoming freshmen classes.
Student Christian
Council Will Meet
Tonight from 9 to 10 o’clock at
Westminster house Dr. E. W. War
rington, professor of religion at
the University and Oregon State
college, will lead the first of four
weekly discussions on “Modern
Movements in Religious Thinking.”
The Student Christian council, of
which Eileen Hickson is president,
is sponsor of the meetings.
Any student on the campus who
is interested is invited to attend.
Such modern trends as the Oxford
movement will be described and
discussed.
At a meeting yesterday after
noon the council talked plans for
a fall vesper service, scheduled for
October 22. The council is com
posed of an adult leader and a stu
dent leader from each of the prin
cipal Eugene churches and repre
sentatives from the campus Y. M.
C. A. and Y. W. C. A.
Herds Protests
Hugh Iiosson, graduate man
ager of the A. S. U. O., who said
he would start negotiations to al
low the Portland Armistice day
rally train to return to Eugene
Sunday, November 12, instead of
the same Saturday, as originally
planned. Many students have pro
tested against the first plan.
German Diplomat
To Speak Here in
Villard Assembly
Dr. YV. L. Reinhart, YY’ell-Informed
On Nazi Situation, to Give
Views on Current Affairs
Dr. W. L. Reinhart, German con
sul in Seattle, will speak on “Tne
Ideas and Principles Governing
Present Day Germany” at 8 p. m.,

The meeting has been arranged

tion with the personnel offices to
present various speakers from the
different countries from time to
time to give their opinions on sit
uations in their countries. Dr. Rein

the, at a later date.
Dr. F. G. G. Schmidt, head of
German language and literature,

hart, who was at one time the
German consul in Portland. At
that time he became acquainted
witli several of the University fac
ulty.
Dr. Reinhart has been in this
country for some time but he has
kept himself in close contact with
the present situation in Germany,
and his views should be interest
ing to many students on the cam
pus, according to Dean Onthank.

ly vesper hour today at 5 o’clock

Rising Modern Fad Provides
Thrill, Mystery, Adventure
By HENRIETTE HORAK
“Is there a young woman, un
blighted by civilization, natively
sensitive, responsive, freed of in
h'''itions, complexes et al, and
withal highly articulate? She is
sought for; object, collaboration,
literary character with working
author; experience not necessary.”
One at a time, girls!
Stand ho! America is on the
verge of being swept by another
adventure in fads. Empress Eu
genies, yo-yos, and jigsaws, have
erone "the way of all flesh;” now
it’s "personals.” Not the continent
al agony column type, but digni
fied personals — primarily prac
ticed by proper people possessing i
personal pride.
K all began with a “man about
a horse.” One Louis Untermeyer
desired to sell a donkey. He select
ed as his advertising medium the
personal column of sedate Satur
day Rcv.ew of Literature. "This
grave perioui^ai ” writes Author
Henry Morton Robinson, “hitherto
devoted to critical discussions of
books and authors, was scarcely
the place that most people would
have chosen as a big donkey out
let, but so nicely did Mr. Unter
meyer gauge his problem that he
was deluged with replies and sold
the donkey at a splendid figure.
"Since then the personal column
of the Saturday Review has be
come an imaginative and exciting
clearing house for all kinds of
goods and services, chiefly those
connected with the all-too human
hunger for companionship.”
The Saturday Review of Litera
ture does something no other dig
nified journal has done in this
country; it gives strangers an op
portunity to surmount some of the
initial barriers that stand between
human beings, and are steep and
difficult in a large city.

Football Rally
Train to Come
Back Sunday
Original Plan 'Changed,
Rosson Indicates
S. P. APPROVES IDEA
Graduate Manager to Give Final
Confirmation; Dean Earl
Expresses Doubt
The Armistice day rally train,
scheduled to leave Eugene early
Saturday morning on November
11 for the Oregon-Oregon State
football game, will probably re
turn to Eugene on Sunday, No
vember 12, instead of Saturday
evening, it developed yesterday as
students voiced their disapproval
of the one-day excursion scheme
that was originally planned.
Hugh E. Rosson, graduate man
ager, in an interview !th the Em
erald yesterday declared that he
would have no objections to delay
ing the return of the train to Eu
gene until Sunday if a great ma
jority of the students wished to re
main in Portland the night follow
ing the game. He said he would
get in touch Southern Pacific
railroad of umediately to
negotiate for the change in sched
ule.
S. P. Officials Favorable
Southern Pacific authorities in
dicated to the Emerald that those
students who did not wish to re
main in Portland Saturday night
might return to Eugene on any
train leaving for Eugene on that
evening. Final confirmation on
this matter will be made by Ros
son.
The char in plans for the
train will ken up through
I T 2t.’., lody and Univer
sity officials at the earliest oppor
tunity, Tom Tongue, president of
the student body, indicated last
night.
Earl Doubtful
Expected opposition on the part
of University administrative offi
cials failed to develop, although
Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, ex
pressed doubt as to the wisdom of
permitting large numbers of stu
dents to remain in Portland, be
cause of the opportunity which
might arise from clashes with
Oregon State supporters.
Earl M. Pallett, registrar and
executive secretary, has agreed to
present the new plan for the rally
train to Chancellor W. J. Kerr to
day. The chancellor was not in the
city yesterday.
Library Conference
To Be Held at O.S.C.
To discuss means of protest
against the exorbitant prices
charged for German periodicals
and other publications, a confer
ence of librarians from all over
the state will meet next Saturday
morning at Oregon State college,
under the direction of Miss Lucy
M. Lewis, director of libraries for
the Oregon state system of higher
education.
M. H. Douglass, Oregon’s librar
ian, will attend.
Allied Arts Group Will

manship of Frank Wilke, and as

Employment Shortage
Threatening dents
To Drop Out of School
“Several men and women
will have to leave school unless
they can find work,” said Miss
Janet Smi' -cretary of the
University vrnent agen
cy, who is uying to locate jobs
for many applicants.
Any jobs such as window
cleaning, lawn mowing, taking
care of children* entertaining,
or even making sandwiches
and serving tea, would help
keep these students in school.
The employment agency Is
again located in the Y.M.C.A.
hut.
