OREGON FAVORITES
Smith Expected to Make Trouble
For Callison Team; Pozzo,
Van Vliet Crash Lineup
By JACK MILLER
"Beat Oregon!"
With these words echoing in
their ears Leo Callancl and some
30 odd Idaho pigskinners, includ
ing Willis “Little Giant” Smith,
triple-t treat quarterback, en
trained for Eugene early Thursday
morning for their twenty-fourth
annual gridiron battle with the
University of Oregon tonight at
8 o’clock on Kayward field. Rain
is predicted for the contest.
Coach Calland will bring one of
the finest and heaviest football
squads ever to represent the Uni
versity of Idaho in recent years.
The key man of the Vandal eleven
is Smith, said by Idaho backers
to be the greatest football player
ever to wear the red and white.
The "Little Giant” weighs but 145
pounds and is elusive and will un
doubtedly cause "Prink” Callison
and his proteges trouble.
uucks jpavorea
This will be the Webfoots’ first
chance this year to play a team
using the Jones system. Coach
Calland, who played under the U.
S. C. coach, uses practically the
same style of play as his former
tutor, with the quarterback doing
the majority of the ball packing.
The Vandal coach also uses a shift
similar to that of the Trojans.
Past records indicate that the
Ducks are heavy favorites to
swamp the lads from Moscow, but
psychologically speaking the Van
dals have the edge. Three weeks
ago Idaho was completely drubbed
by Washington to the tune of .33
to 6, but since then the Idahoans
have come back in championship
form to take Whitman by an over
whelming' score of 60 to 0 and
beat the College of Idaho by a
13-to-0 score. In both these frays
Calland’s grid scholars have shown
a great deal of improvement, and
the Vandals should be at their
peak tonight.
Idaho Peppy
These victories have put lots of
spirit in the Idaho squad. The
Webfoot eleven had a tough tussle
last week when they edged oat
Washington 6 to 0 and Callison’s
men are still somewhat tired, with

Milk Cut Demand
Will Be Appealed
By Chamber Body
Lindstrom’s Ultimatum Causes
Committee to Appeal
Case to Governor
The agricultural committee of
the Eugene chamber of commerce
was preparing to appeal to the gov
ernor and the state purchasing
■ agent yesterday, following a de
mand for lower milk prices to the
dormitories by J. O. Lindstrom,
assistant business manager of the
University.
Lindstrom demanded a lower
milk price than the 32 cents per
gallon rate which the agricultural
committee and local milk distrib
utors had agreed upon with Mrs.
Genevieve Turnipseed, director of
dormitories. The agreement was
that if the price was found too
high or the University found that
it would not be able to pay it, the
committee would be notified and a
meeting would be arranged to dis
cuss a new price.
In Mrs. Turnipseed’s absence,
however, Lindstrom delivered an
ultimatum Wednesday declaring
that if the distributors did not re
duce the price of milk within 24
hours, the University would ship
milk in from Portland. Yesterday
the 24-hour ultimatum was re
scinded but the demand for lower
prices was maintained.
When called last night, Lind
strom had nothing to say on the
Data on Oregon Hotels
Hard Material to Find
Information on almost any sub
ject is to be obtained in the ref
erence department of the library,
but a request Wednesday had Miss
E. Lenore Casford, reference li
brarian, “stumped.”
I Data on the history of hotels in

j as to sources where this material
: may be found will be gratefully

to sell the spicy, fluffy things, all
wrapped up in sugar, and cries of
“Daddy, caii you spare a dime’’
will pierce the uttermost corners
of Hayward field.
Doughnuts are to rule the cam
pus supreme for a week, and any
one who wants to be “someone’’
and crash the gates of the cam
pus “400” should, according to the
sale directorate, tuck away at
least a dozen of the sinkers, which
just by way of formality, will sell
two for a nickel.
Wednesday of next week has
been named as Campus Day sale,
and Friday, the “Yankee staff of
life” will be sold in all campus liv
ing organizations.
Several features and innovations
are being arranged to make the
week a time of fun and doughnut
feasting.

Margery Thayer
Named President
Of Independents
Fifty Unaffiliated Women Gather
At Dean of Women’s Home
To Form Group
No longer '‘unaffiliated” in the
strictest sense of the word, the
independent women of the Univer
sity of Oregon last night elected
Margery Thayer, senior in sociol
ogy, to head a permanent organi
zation. Nearly 50 women attend
ed the informal meeting at the
home of Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering,
dean of women.
Other officers elected included:
vice-president, Laura Goldsmith;
secretary, Janette Hughes; treas
urer, Margaret Robertson. The
committee set-up and future elec
tion times will be worked out in
a constitution to be presented to
the group at its next meeting.
Monday night* at 7:30 was
scheduled as the regular weekly
meeting time. The first regular
meeting will be held week froAi
next Monday, on October 23. The
place will be announced next week
in the Emerald. Suggestions for
a meaningful name for the organi
zation will be considered, the con
stitution adopted, and committee
appointments made at this meet
ing.
Dean Schwering spoke briefly
to the women, describing the
ideals she held for them. She ex
pressed the hope that they would
use the organization to help each
other, never fer selfish ends. She
told of many opportunities for
service and activity offered to wo
men at the University, and pointed
out the important place of the
union in helping individuals to
take advantage of these oppor
tunities. Mrs. Alice B. Macduff,
assistant dean of women, was also
present at the meeting.
Unger Perfects
Light Equipment
Hilbert J. Unger, research as
sistant to Dr. Will Norris, head
of the University physics depart
ment, recently perfected a ther
mocouple, an equipment which is
used to measure very small quan
tities of light. Dr. Norris and Dr.
Unger had been working for near
ly six months to make a success
ful thermocouple. It is used in
connection with the absorption
spectrum, and is made of wires
so fine that binoculars have to be
used to See them.
The equipment is so sensitive
that in complete darkness the heat
of a hand placed near it will make
it register. According to Dr. Nor
ris, there are very few thermo
couples in the United States, and
perhaps none so sensitive as this
one. The value of the contrivance
lies in the fact that it opens a
new field, with the possibility of
several discoveries.
Musical Recital
Given at Y.W.C.A
A group of University women
sat before a glowing fireplace in
the Y. W. C. A. bungalow, listen
ing to' a program of piano music
played by Marjorie Scobert. Miss
’Scobert succeeded in choosing mu
sic that fitted with the atmos
phere.
The numbers featured by Miss
Scobert were “After a Dream” by
Faure, “Playfulness" by Thome,
Rogers's “Etude Melodique," Ru
binstein's “Kanmenoi Ostrow,”
and Thome’s “Tarentelle.”
These musical half hours are
presented every Thursday at 4:45,!
replacing the meditation of former !
“Vespers.” If these recitals prove
popular, they will be continued.
Candidates for
I Rhodes Honors
To Take Tests
First Week in November
Set for Examination
REQUIREMENTS SET
Stale Committee to Choose Two
Men to Represent Oregon
In District Meeting
The examination to select can
didates from the University of
Oregon for the Rhodes scholarship
to Oxford university in England
will be held during the first week
in November. It is conducted by
the foreign scholarship committee,
of which Dr. Geotge Rebec is
chairman.
These scholarships are open to
men students who are juniors and
have completed all their sopho
more requirements, are citizens of
the United States, unmarried, and

If the candidates are selected after
the district examination, they will
be given a stipend of $2000 a year,
and the scholarship may be held
for three years.
Each institution of the state se
lects not more than five candi
dates, in proportion to the enroll
ment. These candidates go to the
state tryouts in Portland, where
a state committee chooses two
representatives from Oregon.
These two are then sent to the
district meeting, which is usually
held in Spokane, Washington.
Here they compete with represent
atives from Idaho, Washington,
Montana, Wyoming, and North
Dakota, 4ach of Which sends two
candidates.
At the district meeting a proc
ess of elimination is so conducted
that four candidates are selected
to go to Oxford the fall of the
next year.
The exact date of the examina
tion will be published later.
Committee Meets
To Discuss Rules
A general survey of the work to
be covered in the task of rewrit
ing the A.S.U.O. constitution was
undertaken yesterday at a meeting
of the constitutional revision com
mittee in Johnson hall.
A partial list of changes which
will be necessary in rewriting the
document were reviewed, and many
suggestions as to the improvement
of the old constitution were made.
Regular meeting of the commit
tee will be held Thursday after
noons, declared Glenn Hieber,
chairman. A statement of the
work accomplished will be pub
lished every week on the editor
ial page of the Emerald, in order
that the student body in general
may follow the course of the work
and offer suggestions.

Statement Made Wednesday
By Registrar Is Contradicted
By Group of Janitors Here
Dispute About
Working Time
Adds Turmoil
Administration Remains
Noncommittal
DENY EXPLANATION
Members cf Faculty Favorable
Toward Reduction of
Laboring Hours
A day of increased turmoil and
mounting interest in the question
of the 9 1-2 hour working day im
posed upon members of the Uni
versity’s janitorial force had at a
late hour last night brought the
requests of the janitors no nearer
to satisfaction.
Administrative officials had re
mained quiet, and refused to make
further comment on the charges
of the Emerald that the janitors
were going to work at 6 a. m. and
quitting at 6 p. m., and were work
ing an hour and a half longer than
the minimum stipulated by state
law.
Pallett Silent
Earl M. Pallett, executive sec
retary, who yesterday issued a
statement that janitors have been
working for 20 years on the basis
if 1.0 hours a day, had no enlarge
ment to make on his statement,
and had apparently mapped out
no course of action for the allevia
tion of the working hours. He de
clared, “I issued a statement yes
terday that explained the situation,
and I have no further statement
to make.”
Chancellor W. J. Kerr was out
of town and could not be reached
by the Emerald.
But if the administration was
remaining quiet, students and fac
ulty members, not to mention the
janitors themselves, were lining up
lolidly behind the Emerald's plan
for a rearrangement of the jani
tors’ hours.
.Janitors Dispute Statement
Of principal interest yesterday
was the denial by a number of
(anitors that they had been con
sulted by A. H. Foote, head janitor,
before the new system of hours
was installed this year. In com
menting" upon the working sched
ule, which imposes upon the jani
tors a 2 1-2-hour “lunch” period
;n the middle of the day, Pallett
declared in his statement Wednes
day that “the arrangement was
discussed with the janitorial force
by Mr. Foote, head janitor, and
was reported to be satisfactory.”
.several of the janitors declared
.datly that they had not been con
culted by Foote, and knew of no
other janitor who had.
several faculty members, al
though reluctant to enter the con
troversy, declared emphatically
they believed that a more humane
schedule of hours should be ar
ranged. Most of them believed
that there was no alternative but
to limit the number of hours, since
the state law is definite and spe
cific upon the point.
Janitors Favorable
The Janitors themselves were
unanimous in agreeing upon the
tevised schedule of hours suggest
ed yesterday by Sterling Green
editor of the Emerald. All de
clared emphatically that the 2 1-2
hour layoff in the middle of the
lay seriously interfered with the
efficient performance of their du
The statements df the following
^acuity members are typical of
those given by many others:
Assistant Professor Robert
Horn: "I have always felt that the
janitors should have the same deal
that is given under the N.R.A.
They should have every considera
tion given other working men ”
Supervisor L. Kenneth Shuma
ker: "it looks pretty funny that
janitors should work nine and one
half hours when other people are
trying to get more work and less
tirne^ It is the greatest nuisance
to the faculty to have the janitors
oft at noon. I never realized be
fore that the janitor of this build
ing straightened the chairs and

A “television idea,” which is the
theme for the annual "get-togeth
er” party to be given for freshman

bers of Kwama at a meeting last
night.
The television motive will pre
dominate in the skits which are
given at the party in order to ac
quaint freshmen with the Univer
sity. Four girls, each interested
in a different phase of college life,
will be shown by Dean Hazel
Schwering, apparently through
television, the tetails in which each
is interested.

Survey of Radio
Programs Is Made
To determine which radio pro
grams are preferred by Eugene
people, the statistics class of John
M. Rae, associate professor of
business administration, is calling
on 500 townspeople.
The survey in each case shows
the name of the station being lis
tened to at the time, the station
which they think best, the one
from which they get the best re
ception, the favorite program,
whether or not they have remem
bered the name of the company
sponsoring this program, whether
or not they listen to the March
of Time, sponsored by the Time
magazine, and the suggestions of
fered for changes in radio pro
grams.
Denials Made

With Director
Workers Refused Right
Of Discussion
STATEMENTS GIVEN
Plan Offered by Emerald Editor
Receives Commendation
Of Employees
Janitors of the University of
Oregon yesterday denied that they
had ever been consulted by A. H.
Foote, building supervisor, when
a new schedule of hours was im
posed upon them at the beginning
of this term making them work
from 6 a. m. until 11 a. m. and
from 1:30 p. m. to 6 p. m.
They declared that the state
ment of Dr. Earl M. Pallett, ex
ecutive secretary, was inaccurate
when he stated that “the arrange
ment was discussed with the jani
torial force by Mr. Foote, head
janitor, and was reported to be
satisfactory.”
Janitors Approve nan
The janitors also were unani
mous in their approval of the plan
of revised hours suggested yester
day by Sterling Green, editor of
the Emerald, which is reprinted
elsewhere on this page.
Each of the following quotations
is the statement of an individual
janitor. For obvious reasons, the
names of the janitors will not be
given, although they are on record
in the Emerald office:
"I think what Sterling Green
put in the paper was very good.
That is the proper thing. I just
have to wait around during that
two and one-half hours in the mid
dle of the day while I could be
getting my work done earlier.”
“It would suit me much better
if I could come at 6:30 or 7 and
work the noon time and then I
would not have to rush at the last
minute, as I have six rooms to
clean after 3 o’clock. If I could
do two of these at noon, it would
be much easier. The suggestion
of the Emerald editor was O. K.
The watchman could easily lock
up. Why does Foote say we ap
proved these hours when we never
had a chance to have our say on
them ?”
Time Said Wasted
‘‘I object to wasting the time
during the noon hour that we
could use to do a lot of work. I
would prefer to come at the same
time and use the time in the mid
dle of the day to shorten the
hours at night. Green’s plan was

'Unfair to Janitors/’ Declare
University Undergraduates
By ELINOR HENRY
“It isn’t fair!”
Briefly this seems to be the con
sensus of student opinion on the
treatment of janitors by the Uui
versity of Oregon. Most of them
expressed a personal interest as
well as a social interest in the sit
uation pointed out in the Emer
ald.
“I’m all in favor of their work
ing under NRA rules, whether or
not« a state institution is legally
exempt,” Mahr Reymers, senior in
advertising, remarked.
Paulinp George, junior in jour
nalism, intercepted in the main
hall of the Commerce building, j
leaned back against the door of
Dean James H. Gilbert’s office and
nearly fell through, since it wasn’t
firmly closed. But she apologized
to the dean and recovered her
equilibrium in time to declare, “I
think that they’re being forced to!
work too long for the work they're
doing and the pay they're getting.”
“It seems to me that they could
split it up some way so the jan
itors wouldn't have to work such
long hours,” said Betty Hentley,
sophomore in arts and letters.
“I don't think they're getting a
fair break myself,” “Ossie” Nel
son, junior in business administra
tion, commented.
“How do they expect the stu
dents to support the NRA if our
own institution doesn’t?” asked
H. S. “Doc” Ireland, senior in busi
ness administration.
And Nancy Suomela, senior in
sociology, "I think it’s a pity for
them to have to get up at 5 o’clock
in the morning.”
In the usual lawyer’s way, Nor
wood Nickols, second year law
student, answered the reporter’s
question with another. “Why
should a janitor work any longer
than anyone else?" he queried. He
said he had transferred from
Washington, where janitors work
in shifts and have easier work and
shorter hours.
“I think that working janitors
more than eight hours a day is
making the University just like a
sweatshop,” declared Betty Allen,
senior in history. "A ten-hour day
for students is bad enough,” she
added facetiously.
“I believe fhe administration of
the University should cooperate
with NRA just as merchants, man*
