< UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1933 VOLUME XXXV . NUMBER 19 Administration Refers Action In Hour Dispute / State Labor Head Gels Cad for Advice COMMENT REFUSED “Far-reaching Problem/' States University, in Announcing Course of Action The University administration yesterday took its first s^ep in the modification of the 9’4-hour labor schedule imposed upon mem bers of the janitorial staff at the beginning of this year. The action taken was to refer the question to C. H. Gram, state commissioner of labor. The only comment obtainable from admin istrative officers was a prepared “statement for the press” handed f out to an Emerald reporter yes terday afternoon: "The entire matter of janitorial service at the University, due to the fact that it •is a far-reaching problem affect ing not only the University of Ore gon but all state institutions, pub lic schools and municipalities, has been referred to the state labor commissioner for advice.” No Comment By University Aside from this, the administra tion preserved the same close mouthed policy which it has main tained ever since the Emerald in an editorial last Wednesday called attention to the fact that the jan itors have been working from 6 in the morning until 6 at night, with a 2-hour “lunch” period from 11 a. m. to 1:30, in apparent violation of the 8-hour maximum law for state employees. D. L. Lewis, superintendent of grounds and buildings, when asked if he or the administration planned to call a meeting of the janitors to arbitrate the dispute, declined to comment. Such a conference f between administration and jani tors was suggested yesterday by a member of the janitorial force. campus indignant On the campus the situation re mained very much as on the day before, although a steadily rising tide of indignation swelled as de tails of the case and of the jani tors’ outspoken plea for fairer hours became more widely known. The question was raised Wed nesday when the Emerald edito rially demanded an investigation into the working hours of the jani tors, which, it was pointed out, were in violation of Section 49 704, Oregon code 1930, as amended by Chapter 330, Oregon laws 1931. This law declares that no state employee shall be required or per mitted to labor more than eight hours in any one day or 48 hours in any one .week. No Change Announced The administration’s only reply, up until it referred the matter to the state labor commissioner yesterday afternoon, was a state ment by Earl M. Pallett, execu tive secretary, announcing that for the last 20 years members of the janitorial service had been working 10 hours a day. Apparently no attempt was be ing made by the administration yesterday to rearrange the work ing hours of the janitors to a more humane schedule, and it was as sumed that the janitors will con tinue to work from 6 a. m. until 6 p. m., less the 2V2-hour lunch period, until the matter is re viewed and acted upon by the state labor commissioner. French Study Course Organized by Alumna Word was received Friday by the extension division of a group study course in French which was organized in Bend by Mrs. Clara Simerville. Mrs. Simerville is known on the campus as Clara Jasper. Miss Mozelle Hair, direc tor of the extension division re marked that here was one gradu ate who remembered her school in a profitable manner.

Physics Class Makes Experiments With Ice An interesting demonstration performed yesterday in Dr. Will Norris’ physics classes was that of cutting in two a block of ice that was still in one piece when the cutting was over. As the heavy wire which did the cutting was forced through the ice, the pressure caused the ice directly beneath to melt, but as the remainder of the block stayed at a freezing temperature the ice above the wire immediately froze together again. Although this demonstration has been given be fore at the University, this was the first time it had been done re cently.

Hermian Club Officer Tells of Student Camp Miss Ruth Bloomer, presiding at the Hermian club seminar held Thursday night at 9 p. m. in the social room of Gerlinger hall, stressed the close relationship which exists between students and faculty and brought about through the New York Graduate camp held at Sloatsberg, New York. This camp is an essential part of the university and dancing class es, and is attended by students who are teachers in universities from every state of the Union. Miss Bloomer attended the camp this summer and was a student un der Miss Martha Hill, former teacher here at the University of Oregon. iEin..b ’.'""sSe, Milk Interests I As to Contract | Price Cut Demand Faces * Salem Conference | IMPORTS UNLAWFUL i _ i University Ultimatum Threatening Use of Portland Product Met by Ordinance Yesterday brought two develop ments in the milk controversy be tween the University and Eugene distributors. The first was that representatives of distributors will confer with the state purchasing i agent next Wednesday. The sec ond was that the University might not be able legally to ship milk in ! from Portland for use in the dorm itory in case the demand for a price reduction is not met. Representatives of the agricul tural committee of the chamber of commerce, on which the milk distributors and producers are rep resented, will see William Einzig, state purchasing agent, in an ef fort to reach an understanding as to the contract entered into early in September setting the price for delivery of milk to the dormitories. The contract was signed by Mrs. ! Genevieve Turnipseed, director of dormitories, and now, in her ab sence from the campus, an effort is being made to break it, the Em erald was told. Out-of-City Milk Illegal Wednesday J. O. Lindstrom, bus iness manager of the University, delivered to the distributors an ul ! timatum from the purchasing j agent’s department that if the price was not lowered within 24 I hours, milk would be shipped in ! from Portland. Yesterday it was ! pointed out that the Eugene milk ■ ordinance provides that to be sold in the city, pasteurized milk must have been processed in plants within the city. It was held that this provision might take the teeth out of the ultimatum. A further development was a. statement issued to the press by Lindstrom. It follows: “Previous to September 11, 1933, the University paid 26 1-2 cents per .gallon for milk. On Septem ber 11, 1933, the price was raised to 32 cents (although the frater nities and sororities are charged only 28 cents per gallon) with the understanding that a rebate would be made if final price determined was less than 32 cents per gallon. Over a month has passed and no further information in regard to a definite price is available. All pur chases must be approved by the state purchasing department, and they consider the 32-cent price too high because it is 5 to 7 gents'per gallon higher than other state in stitutions pay. How long the Uni versity will be required to pay the 32-cent price is a question. The (Continued on Page Three) Dark-Eyed All-American Girl Candidate Is From Missouri By HENRIETTE HORAK When Betty Graham, charming candidate for the all-American girl says she is from Missouri, 3he is not fooling, fellow students of the higher education system; she really was born there, a few years BRNRA and R (before Roosevelt. National Recovery Act and Re peal). Like all wise people, however, she moved from Missouri to Cali fornia in time to retain her self espect, and this year she has come to Oregon to see for herself wheth er all this ‘‘Oregon, God’s chosen country" advertising is really so and so and so. Miss Graham was chosen at the Varsity ball as one of the five girls for the all-American girl contest, sponsored by the Order of the O in conjunction with the University magazine. She is a freshman, majoring in art. She presented a charming pic ture when interviewed at the Del ta Gamma “den" yesterday. She was “all curled up” in a very deep comfortable chair, which was so deep that it held her five feet, four and a half inches, and there was lots of room to spare. She wore one of those smart new plaids, in yellow and brown, and the accen tuated shoulders added to its style and smartness. Her dark eyes took on a decided ly mysterious look when she con fessed her one great weakness. “Yes, I am very superstitious," she said solemnly. “There is a story about white cats, and, oh yes, black cats! Every time I see a black cat I never tail to cross j my fingers and sp—, oh garden me, expectorate. Rabbits feet also hold my fancy, but I have none in my possession, and every time I get in a pinch, I wire my girl friend to send me hers special de livery! I never, never walk under I a ladder?” Another weakness — Miss; Graham cannot remember names! and faces. She wishes to make it known that if someone is spoken to on the campus, and the some one knows not who the speaker is, it is probably she, because she speaks to everyone in order not tc slight any of her acquaintances. She is very fond of football, and thinks Oregon has a “swell’’ team. “What do I think of the janitor question? Oh, shorter hours, of course," she replied emphatically. Miss Graham finished high school in Berkeley, California, and came to the University because she heard so much in its favor. Her life's ambition is to get a job when she finishes college. Dad’s Day Directorate These Oregon students are in charge of the seven hi annual Dad’s day, whirh gets under way this morning.

(Journal cut) , Active Workers For Anti-Military Group Appointed Campbell Names Sub-Committees To Further Investigate Basic Courses The University of Oregon stu dent committee against compul sory military training enlarged the scope of its organization yesterday through Wallace Campbell, chair man, by the appointment of sub committees which are to further investigate the group’s case. The organization aims to make the ba sic military course optional, rath er than compulsory. The committee appointed to in vestigate the legal status of com pulsory R.O.T.C. courses includes John Caswell, Verne Adams, and Elizabeth Hentley. The committee to * cotact tliU campus military officials is head ed by Elizabeth Allen; assisting her will be John Caswell and Les ter Van Lydegraf. Members of the enrollment in vestigation committee are: Verne Adams, Elizabeth Scruggs, and Richard Boling. A committee has also been ap pointed to draw up a question naire that will be distributed on the campus to find student opinion on the subject. The members are: Richard Boling, Violet Adams, and Laura Goldsmith. The correspondence committee includes Gottfried Hesse, Eliza beth Hentley, and Eda Hult; and the educational committee, John Caswell, Helen Binford, and Hen riette Horak. In spite of the American peace and war abolition movements, says the student group, there are in the United States today 106 civil edu cation institutions, predominantly state universities and agricultural colleges, where compulsory mili tary training is a requirement; and 68,610 American students this year are required to take war depart ment military training, they state. j Campus Calendar A house mothers’ meeting will be held Monday afternoon at 1 in Johnson hall, room 4.

The Webfoots scored in the first, second, and fourth quarters to turn back the scrappy, but outclassed, Vandals. The Moscow eleven was kept on the defensive the entire game, and at no time was within striking distance of the Duck goal line. A wide spread formation, with the two ends on the opposite side lines, and a continual aerial attack failed to work the northerners into a scoring position at any time during the game. An offside penalty on Idaho put the Webfoots in position for their first touchdown early in the initial quarter. With the ball on the i Vandals’ 25-yard stripe, Gee cut through to the 3-yard line before University Band To Give Concert. In Honor of Dads Playing to Begin at Three o’clock Tomorrow in Auditorium Of Music Building Climaxing the week-end's en tertainments in honor of the Ore gon Dads, the first division of the University band under the direc tion of John Stehn will present its first concert of the year tomor row afternoon in the auditorium of the music building. The concert will begin at 3 o’clock, not at 5 as it was previous ly announced in the Dad’s day pro gram. In order to make it possible for the students to show their fathers a royal week-end to the last fea ture, Director John Stehn has chos en pieces which the Dac^ will en joy. The program is made up of popular classics. The program fol lows: Pasadena Day March, Vessella. Bridal Rose overture, Lavallee. Sections from Mademoiselle Mo diste, Victor Herbert. Adoration, Borowski. Ballete Egyptian, Luigini. i Since this is the first A.S.U.O. concert, a special invitation is ex tended to the dads, students, and townspeople. Admission is free. More Voices Needed For Operetta Chorus More men are needed for the chorus of "The Sudsy Prima Don na,” a comic operetta to be pre sented late in fall term by West minster association under the di rection of Victor Bryant, senior in music. A few more feminine voic es could be used also for work in the chorus. Jack Spittle and Frances Barn ett have been selected for the leads In the two-act operetta. Fathers Gather From Near And Far; Old Friends Meet By ELINOR HENRY Astoria, Portland, Pendleton, Klamath Falls, Hillsboro, Eugene, Crescent City, Grants Pass, Canby. No, this isn't a geography. Tt.’s just a list of the places from which early registered Oregon Dads came to visit their sons and daughters at the University of Oregon. “It’s just like a second Home coming,'' remarked Merle Chess man, editor of the Astorian-Budget and father of Peggy Chessman. He had just met, for the first time in years, a classmate of ’09, D. L. Lewis, superintendent of buildings and grounds at the University and doubly and Oregon Dad, as he has a son, Donald, and a daughter, Jean, in school. Last year, Chess man said, seven or eight sorority sisters of Peggy had fathers who graduated in his class. With Chessman, who is a mem ber of the executive council of the Oregon Dads, came John T. Allen, father of John T. Allen Jr., and Johh E. Wicks, Ebba Wicks’ fath er. This year will make Wicks’ eighth year as an Oregon Dad, Ebba being the third daughter who has attended the University. Another automobile load from Astoria included Ex-governor A. W. Norblad, Eleanor Norblad'sj dad; G. A. Hellberg, father of Fred Hellberg; Kaarle Koskela, | father of Elmer Koskela; and Axel Backlund, Howard Backlund’s fa ther. A dad down for the first time is D. H. Miller, whose son is Robert S. Miller. A. J. Thompson, Jeanette Thompson's father, also came from Astoria. J. J. Bauer and R. M. Cromme lin drove from Pendleton to Eugene for Dad’s day. Rather than be sep arated by the width of Hayward field from his son, Malcolm, Em erald sports editor, Bauer obtained a seat in the press box. Crommelin is Elizabeth Crommelin’s father. Hillsboro's lone representative last night was an important one— Thomas H. Tongue,' father of the father of the associated students. Grants Pass was represented by K. M. C. Neill, father of M. E. Neill. I. R. Vinyard, Gwendolyn Vinyard’s dad, came from Canby. From Klamath Falls came G. W. Ford, who has been with Glen Hie ber for four Dad’s days and the dad of Kenneth Thomas, Charles Thomas From over the border to the south came John R. Breen of Crescent City, California, to be with his daughter, Kathleen. Portland, of course, had the largest number of Oregon Dads registered and one Oregon Moth er, Mrs. A. R. Bohoskey. M. R. Cory is mixing the pleasure of at (Continued on I'aye Four) being downed. On the next play Mark Temple scored off tackle. The try for point was wide. The big green team did not give the Vandals any opportunity to launch an offensive drive, and be fore many more minute's had passed, “Butch” Morse, Oregon end, blocked McCue’s kick on the Idaho 3-yard line. Temple recov ered for the Webfoots. With Ore gon's heavy line opening a wide hole, Mikulak carried the ball over cn the next play for the Webfoots’ second score. Again the try for point was no good, and the half ended with the Ducks on the long end of a 12-to-0 score. Second Half Listless The second half was a listless affair with the Idaho backs launching a futile passing attack, only to be pushed backward by the giant Webfoots. Howard Bob bitt, who replaced Mikulak at full back, scored the third touchdown from the Vandal 18-yard line with a fine burst of open field running. At this point, Milligan, who had replaced Temple at half, sent the pigskin through the uprights for the first successful conversion of the game. “Wee Willie” Smith, Idaho’s all coast candidate, did not have much chance to break into the open. The big Oregon forwards broke through the featherweight Idaho line, time and time again, to stop him for a loss. Late in the fourth period he returned to the game, after being out for a quarter, and single-handed fought his way to Idaho’s one first down from scrimmage. His performance was an epic of midget resistance against the towering Webfoot lacklers. Temple, Mikulak Star Mark Temple and “Iron Mike” Mikulak led the way for the win ners. Temple played a sparkling game in the first half with one eye concealed by a bandage. Lohg gains by Temple and his running mate. Leighton Gee, put the ball in position for the first two Ore gon touchdowns. Mikulak was at his best on the defense. Parke showed class in the ball carrying department. Bernie Hughes played 55 min utes of first class ball at the cen ter position, as did Gardner Frye at tackle, and Butch Morse at end. Morse and Frye were the big fac tors in the fast charging Webfoot line which broke through on every play to hurry the visitors' passes and kicks. Passing Spotty Idaho made but one first down from scrimmage, that coming in the third quarter. They scored two first downs from passes. Ore gon amassed a total of 16 first downs from scrimmage. The passing of both teams was weak. McCue was forced to hurry his throws because of the light ness of the Idaho line, while Tem ple and Van Vliet could never find their receiver.
