NUMBER 17 Oregana Drive Prizes Won by Tri Belt, Pi Kap Winners Show Record Time, Says Cross 500 SIGN FOR COPIES Sale Expected to Exceed Former Records; Still Chance to Earn Free Book / - The subscription drive for the 1934 Oregana reached its peak of interest last night with the an nouncement of the winners of the silver loving cups awarded for the first fraternity and first sorority to reach the 100 per cent mark. Delta Delta Delta gained posses sion of the sorority trophy, while the men’s cup goes to Pi Kappa Alpha. I he two winners reached the 100 per cent mark in record time, according to Ed Cross, business manager of the yearbook, who was in charge of the contest. Delta Delta Delta reported a perfect list at 7:30 p. m. Tuesday, while Pi Kappg. Alpha phoned in their claim to the trophy several min utes later. The announcement of these winners was withheld from the press until last night, so that a check-up could be made. Other groups that have a com plete list of subscribers are Theta Chi, which announced its accom plishment right upon the heels of the winning Pi Kaps, and Delta Zeta. The cups will be awarded to the winners Saturday. “From all indications,” states Cross, “the drive will be the most successful staged in the past three years. Approximately 500 stu dents have already signed for copies. This is over half of the total number of subscriptions sold last year." Students who wish to obtain copies of ‘the annual are urged to sign up with their representatives immediately, as the campaign is scheduled to come to an end Sat urday noon. The end of the con test does not mean the finish of the drive for subscribers, however, and representatives still have a chance to earn a free Oregana with a complete sign-up of their respective groups.

Emerald Obtains Superior Rating For Year 1932-33 All-American Honor Certificate Is Presented Campus Daily By N. S. P. A. The Emerald yesterday received a certificate presented by the Na tional Scholastic Press association signifying that the campus daily had received an all-American hon or rating, the highest obtainable by college newspapers. Five classifications of ratings are given by the association. They are all-American, or superior; first class, or excellent; second class, or good; third class, or high aver age; and fourth class, c^r no honors. The Emerald was notified last spring that it had won the covet ed all-American laurels but did not get the certificate at that time. The campus daily is now a mem ber of the association, the purpose of which is to make possible co operative effort on the part of scholastic editors for the contin ual improvement of school publi cations so that they may better serve the cause of education and the individual institutions they represent. The ratings are based on news values and sources, news writing and editing, editorials and enter taining matter, and headlines, ty pography, and makeup. The Em erald was given a total of 910 points out of a possible 1000.

Milk Ousts Beer ns German National Drink9 Says Consul By ROSABELLE HIMELSTEIN Who could picture Germany not drinking its beer and crunching pretzels, but drinking milk? Yes, milk. Perhaps the 3.2 in America just hasn't the kick and the in centive for a song, but ju£t the same it’s much cheaper than the German beer. No longer will the university stude.V^ get together, and sway their steins in the air, and sing the good old German drinking songs. Milk will now be the drink. It’s the cows that will be working over time, instead of the jolly fat bartender. It was Dr. W. L. Reinhart. Ger man consul, who said that Hitler neither drinks nor smokes and has given an order to raise the price cn beer, now making it rather dif ficult for the beer gurgling indi viduals to buy their drinks. Of course the beer gardens still exist, but can the milk from contented cows make them feel like singing the good old stein song? Waltzes are being banned in Germany and the polkas are going to be introduced as the national dance—that was the rumor. “Oh, no,” said Dr. Reinhart, i “that could never be. Why, when I was there last summer, wherever I went, the beautiful waltzes were being played. The waltz music and the dance waltzes are part of our life. Of course those who like I polkas dance polkas, but the i waltzes being out of style, that does, not exist.” To get. back to a more serious vein of thought, Dr. Reinhart I (Continued on Page Three) I Dean Morse to Give Main Talk Ar^’Dinner ' ^ Banquet Slated San..

O. con certs for this year, the University band, under the direction of John Stehn, will play in honor of the Oregon Dads next Sunday at 5 o’clock in the auditorium of the music building. Five numbers, varied in type and tempo, comprise the program.

Number two has over thirty-two pieces, and group three about fifteen. Each group practices twice a week. Director Stehn believes that by this arrangement a continual sup ply of musicians will be forthcom ing, and the poorer players will be given a chance to improve and move up a notch each year.

Tongue Requests Group to Discuss Student Problems Football Season Profitable Though Slightly Ahead of Budget, Says Rosson Suggesting that the executive council become less of a rubber stamp body and place an end to simply passing upon recommenda tions of student committees, Thom as H. Tongue, president of the As sociated Students, at a meeting of the executive council yesterday, asked that the council bring up and discuss arising student diffi culties, and refer them to their respective committees. Tongue also recommended that Hugh Rosson, graduate manager of the A. S. U. O. prepare an in formal report of all A. S. U. O. activities to be given at each meet ing of the executive council. In answer to Tongue's request, Rosson reported at the meeting yesterday that he was very opti mistic over the present situation of the Associated Students. Ros son said that at present, the foot ball season so far has been slight ly ahead of its budget, but more profitable than anticipated. This year, more than ever be fore, according to Rosson, students are taking a greater interest in campus activities. He said that the general outlook on the campus is much better than it has been dur ing the last two years. As the only official business of the meeting yesterday, the council approved the action of the publi cations committee in awarding the photography contract for the Oregana to Kennell-Ellis studios.

Election of Officers Is Planned ATTENDANCE URGED Temporary Chairman Contacts Unaffiliated Women for Support University of Oregon unaffiliat ed women, those living neither in sororities nor dormitories, will meet tonight at 9 o’clock at the home of Hazel P. Schwering, dean of wo men, corner of 20th and Potter, to organize the group and formulate plans for the year. Independent girls are urged to attend, and take part in election of officers, ap pointment of committees, and dis cussion of possible future of the group. It has been impossible, accord ing to Margery Thayer, temporary chairman, to contact every inde pendent woman attending the Uni versity, and issue a verbal or writ ten invitation to attend, but all in dependent women are asked to pledge their support to the move by attending the first meeting. The proposed organization has been pledged support by the Uni versity personnel administration, and favorable comment on the move has been made by campus leaders. It has been pointed out that the purpose in organizing- the group is not for political pull or compli cations, neither does the club pro pose to take the place of a soror ity in influencing the life of a col lege girl. The purpose as it now stands, is to provide for the inde pendent girl a definite anchor, through which she can "find” her self on the campus, and take a more active part in student body affairs, both social and scholastic. There is at present no organiza tion through which the indepen dent women can become acquaint ed with each other, or contacted as a group. The proposed organi zation will facilitate the contact .problem, and assure the various campus organizations of an easier method of reaching the indepen dent girls. Music Programs To Be Given by Y A weekly half hour of music, featuring Oregon students, will be sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. ev ery Thursday afternoon at 4:45, beginning today. This new idea will take the place of the medita tion that has been featured in the weekly vespers. The change in program was ef fected when a number of requests were received, asking the Y. W. to arrange some program of mu sic that would in part take the place of the Sunday organ recit als. Alma Herman, chairman of the weekly musicale, has planned a calendar in which piano, vocal, and violin music will be alternat ed. On the program today Marjprie Scobert will play familiar classi cal music. Helen Wilson, Eva Burkhalter, and Marion Patullo are assisting Miss Herman with the arrangement.

Dispute Rages Over Working Hours for University Janitors Dr. Pallelt Says Long Hours Have Been Policy at Oregon for Years; Opinion Favors Change in System Administrative authorities yesterday had taken no steps to al leviate the 9'--hour working day regulations instituted in the jani torial service this fall on the University of Oregon campus. Interest in the case of the janitors' working hours was brought to a high pitch following publication by the Emerald of an editorial pointing out that janitors start work at 6 a. m. and quit at 6 p. m., taking a 2'--hour "lunch'' period from 11 until 1:30. This situation ----4 Merritt Selected Chief Niglit Editor Of Daily Emerald Position Vacant Since Beginning Of School Now Taken by Experienced Student Abe Merritt, freshman in busi ness administration, was appoint ed chief night editor of the Ore gon Daily Emerald yesterday by Joseph Saslavsky, managing edi tor. Merritt will take over a position which has been vacant since the school year started. He will su pervise the typographical makeup and the work of the night staff of the campus daily. This group is composed of night editors and as sistant night editors, who set headlines, read proof, and elimin ate errors after everything that appears in the Emerald has been set into type. Merritt has had professional ex perience in the newspaper field. He has been on the business staff of a Seattle paper and formerly worked on a paper in Albany. Dean Lawrence Goes to Chicago E. F. Lawrence, dean of the school of allied arts and architec ture, will leave today for Chicago to attend the meeting of the Asso ciation of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, of which he is presi dent. There also will be a repre sentative group of the educational committee of the American Insti tute of Architects present, togeth er with a committee of the Na tional Association of Architectur al Registration Board. The purpose of the conference is to develop a plan for the prepa ration of young architects to prac tice from the time of graduation to the period when they have taken their state examination. Student Recital to Be Presented Next Week Presenting the first student re cital of this year, Elaine Moore, pianist, and Martha Moore, violin ist, will offer a varied program of music next Tuesday at 8 p. m. in the music auditorium. Miss E. Moore is a piano student of Au rora Potter Underwood, while Miss M. Moore studies under Rex Un derwood. At 8 p. m. every Tuesday throughout the school year these recitals will be -presented. Many of the outstanding music students on the campus participate in these evening musicales. persists, the Emerald declared, in spite of state legislation limiting the hours of state employees to eight hours a day and 48 hours a week. Campus and faculty opinion was obviously in favor of a rearrange ment of the janitorS’ hours, either by cutting the hours to a more humane schedule or by rearrang ing them so that more opportunity is given for rest. Pallett Comments A fresh consideration was brought into the case when it was learned from Earl M. Pallett, ex ecutive secretary, that limiting the length of the working day might have the effect of placing the janitors upon an hourly salary basis, instead of the monthly basis upon which they now operate. He further pointed out that for 20 years the janitorial force has been operating on the basis of 10 hours » a day. The staff has not, however, been working on the present schedule of 5 hours in the early morning and 4 Vi hours in the late afternoon. No refutation was made of the Emerald’s charge that the. present janitorial set-up is contrary to state laws. Statement Follows Pallett's prepared statement fol lows: “According to Hr. L. H. John son, comptroller emeritus, the jan itorial force for the past twenty years has been employed during the school year on the basis of ten hours of duty a day. The work assigned to each man has been the equivalent of the amount of work that could ordinarily be done in eight consecutive hours. The impossibility of working eight consecutive hours due to class room occupancy led to the above arrangement. "This year an attempt was made to reduce the number of hours the men were expected to be on duty, and a preliminary re duction to nine and one-half hours was made. The arrangement was discussed with the janitorial force by Mr. Foote, head janitor, and was reported to be satisfactory. It was the intention then, and still is the intention to continue to re duce the hours on duty until they conform to the hours of work as signed. This could be done very easily if the janitorial force were employed on an hourly instead of a monthly basis. This solution was considered, but was tempo rarily abandoned because of the desire to protect the janitorial force, many of whom have been with us for a number of years. “The total janitorial salary and wage budget for the present year, after adjustment for salary de creases imposed by the state legis lature, shows a reduction of ex actly one hundred dollars com pared to last year—a reduction of one-half of one per cent compared (Continued on Page Three) Oregon ROTC Question Rises I To Life Despite War Rumor The campus R. O. T. C. question has come to life again! In spite of the fact that during the last few weeks and days “there have been wars and rumors of wars’; and armament' conferences and agree ments have gone "the jway of all flesh,” a committee for the pur pose of attempting to change the compulsory R. O. T. C. military requirements to optional has been organized on the campus. At present all men, unless excused for "conscientious objections,” or because they have a job, are re quired to take military training for six terms as a graduation re quirement. The committee, headed by Wal lace Campbell, feels that at pres ent there is a stigma placed on the man who attempts to be excused from R. O. T. C. Many freshmen, fearing the label of “coward,” and not being able lo buck”the difficul ties of exemption, t^ke the course • against? their wishes 0and personal convictions? ° The student committee, which consists at present of 25 members, both men and women, for several weeks has been active in forming plans and contacting campus mil itary and administrative officials. The committee wishes to arouse student opinion sufficiently to bring the matter to an issue, and from an issue to a change, mak ing military training an optional, not a compulsory course. Members of the executive com mittee assisting Campbell, chair man, are John Caswell, Richard Boling, and Elizabeth Scruggs.
