The Oregon Daily Emerald, official student publication of the University of Oregon, Eugene, published daily during the college year, except Sundays, Mondays, holidays, examination periods, all of December and all of March except the first three days. Entered in the postoffice at Eugene, Oregon, as second-class matter. Subscription rates, $2.50 a year. ON A LETTER TO THE EDITOR IT is hard to believe that the correspondent who calls attention to a reported case of a superior intimidating a member of the janitorial force in the “Safety Valve’’ column today could have heard aright. It is incredible that a person in any posi tion of authority in the University’s employ could stoop to browbeating a member of his staff in order to draw from the latter “a favorable statement about the present system." Yet the person who wrote this letter to the Emerald brought it to the Emerald office in person, without solicitation, and declared that he personally heard the argument in progress. He has signed only his initials, but he has left with the Emerald a signed statement acknowledging authorship of the letter, and has signified his willingness to dis close a complete account of the conversation to any disinterested party. It would indeed be disheartening to learn that an attempt has been made to browbeat any janitor into a denial of the statements which appeared in the Emerald yesterday, showing that every janitor on the campus is dissatisfied with conditions which make him work a 9'a-hour day, starting at 6 o’clock in the morning and ending at ti o'clock at night. That would be indeed an outrage against every pre cept of decent employer-laborer relations and would indicate the existence of a system of bossism and brutality that lies almost beyond credulity. Besides, it would be useless to attempt such methods now. Every student, every instructor, - every administrative officer ami underling knows that the janitors are dissatisfied with the sweat shop hours imposed upon them. The administrative officers yesterday turned ttie whole question of the hours of janitorial service over to the state commissioner of labor. This con stitutes a tacit admission that the administration's position had become untenable, and is a satisfac tory, though tardy, acknowledgment of the justice of the complaints of the janitors and the charges of the Emerald. The administration should retire with as much grace as possible from the unpleasant situation into which it lias permitted itself to be drawn. To at tempt to intimidate a janitor at such a time would be the ultimate peak of unsportsmanlike conduct, and the Emerald can hardly believe that a Univer sity employee is capable of il. WELCOME, dads: /\N this one ilay out of the whole 250 which *-* march along in the college year, Oregon stu dents are privileged to welcome and entertain the men who are making tHeir education possible. It is a fine privilege end a fine tradition, this Dad's day at Oregon. Often the steady whirl of classes, study, and absorbing activity leads a stu dent too far from contact with this truest of friends. And dad, lodged in the dim background region of the home town, begins to sense a lack of that fine cltptyful contact with his son or daughter. Too often, perhaps?, he begins to feel that his children are indeed slipping away from him. Dad's day is the golden opportunity to show dad that his place in our hearts is as firm as ever. It's a chance to resume that old spirit of comradeship that in all probability has waned since the first day we went away to college. Without dau, most of us would not be in school —indeed, without him and the thousands like him there would be no University. No effort should be spared to let him know that we recognize and ap preciate the value of the opportunity which lus labors and perhaps hi: acrificc- have made pos sible. Proudly and confidingly today \vt can tell him of this University of ours and show him the things we are accomplishing. Every Oregon stu dent has it within his power to make this day one of the most enjoyable of the year for his dad or someone else's dad. Let them know that we are happy to welcome them and will be sorry to see them go. • Oregon Dads, the Emerald speaks for every stu dent in welcoming you to the University. THE MILK CONTROVERSY IT is indeed disappointing that such a squabble as the one between the University business of fice and the Eugene milk distributors should crop up to add its smudge to the already dirtied record of this year. Certainly the manager of the business office would not deliberately misrepresent the facts as to the price charged fraternities and sororities for milk. Certainly the state purchasing agent would not wish to evade the p. .ces set by the code adopted by the local producers and distributors, if that code is being observed generally in the Eugene area. A spirit of friendly relations should prevail be tween all units of the University and the business houses of Eugene. When differences come up they should be settled by conference, not by dictation on the party of one party. If it is true that the University is being discrim inated against there should be no objection to the business office’s demanding a lowering of prices. But it appears that the price charged the Univer sity is the same as that charged the big majority of houses and restaurants; it is the general whole sale price, even though it be a price considerably higher than is paid in cities where other state in stitutions are located. Because so much depends upon a friendly rela tion, it is to be hoped that this matter will be ironed out with no hard feelings hanging over. The state purchasing agent, in whose hands final action lies, may have to be a hardened business man; that is to be expected. But ultimatums and the breaking of contracts seem out of place. Well, Dads, did big Mike Mikulak live up to your expectations in the game last night ? If he didn’t, just try to meet him in a doorway when he is in a hurry. A student at St. Thomas college may take out an insurance policy against being called upon in class for 25 cents. If he is called upon he may collect $5. Little Ambrose, who reads the papers, has no ticed that Hitler has decreed the sterilization of all those unfit to become fathers. He suggests that the law be made retroactive. The University of New Hampshire’s winter sports team buys its own equipment and pays its own transportation, and is still a leader among eastern institutions. Harvard university students will have liquor with their meals for the first time in 75 years if the 18t.h amendment is repealed. Athletes at the University of Iowa are cooking their own meals and living on as little as a dollar a week. Almost every business or profession in Lincoln, Neb., has at least one student from the University of Nebraska working part time. Revising the Constitution (Editor's Note: Every week in this space will be published a statement of the activities of the constitutional revision committee, pre pared by a member of the committee. The fol lowing report is submitted by Corwin Calavan. It is the desire of the committee that students follow the progress of the revision activities and make suggestions.) * •'!* * rr-vHE present constitution of the Associated Stu A dents has been the object of more criticism and more editorial comment than perhaps any other student instrument. It was to remedy this evil that the president of the student body appointed a committee of 12 students to undertake the task of revising the present constitution and if possible eliminate or change those sections which have in the past caused the embarrassing situations in the conducting of student government. The first business meeting of the committee was held Thursday, when the general problem was discussed and the various phases of the work were outlined. During the ensuing week the committee will be concerned entirely with the problems of class and student body elections and that of class identity. Concerning the elections, discussion has been held as to the advisability of holding all stu dent elections on the same day, and also changing the time of the elections to some date earlier in the term. It is believed by many that this will eliminate a great deal of the political propaganda and campaigning that accompanies nearly every election. Class identity, the problem of determining the class of which each student is to be legally de clared a member, presents a difficult question, par ticularly at the time of elections. It is imperative that some definite method of classification bs adopted, whereby a student who has acquired the necessary term hours to vote with a particular class may not be barred from voting in that class be cause of minor technicalities. In the attempt to solve these questions it is hoped that student opinion will play a large part. It will be difficult for the committee to create an instrument which will best serve the interests of the student body without such comment and criti cism. The committee is composed of the following students: Glenn Hieber, chairman. Corwin Calavan, George Bennett. John Kendall, Charles Kennedy, Helen Binford. Virginia Hartje. Geraldine Hiskson. Walt Gray. George Bernie. Bill C Davis, and Mal colm Bauer. The problem belongs to the entire student body as much as to the committee members, however, and the latter request that every student tollow the course of the committee's actions each week and assist it with suggestions that will make the new constitution as nearly a> possible a perfect organ of Undent administration (.Sigucd) COKV. IN C ALA\ AN i Find the Facts By STANLEY ROBE JANITOR situation OREGON UC0« Mannequin By PATSY LEE rpHE hunting season is at its height, and this is no smart crack, either. No fooling girls, you simply must go out and shoot at something grouse, pheasant, deer, or professor. And, the real reason for all this sudden interest in fem inine shooting is that the leading couturiers have designed such charming hunting costumes for both participant and spectator. So get out the old shot-gun and bag something or otjier. Corduroy is the favorite mate rial for the smart “chasseuse.” Hermes recommends soft subber ized woolens accompanied by leather jackets in various earthy colors. The detachable skirt, sometimes with a matching detach able bolero, is the novelty of the season. These new skirts are but tined in all their length, either di rectly in front or slightly on the sides, with immense pyralin but tons. These buttons are the most in teresting things. Some are intri cately carved with hunting designs, but the most poplar are the plain square or triangular shapes. These skirts may be easily changed or removed for riding. In many cases, they are worn over riding breech es. The cute little boleros, also eas ily detachable, are fastened in front by three composition but tons, which hold the lower part of the bolero at the back, while one button, larger in size, fastens the capelet over the bolero in cross effect at the back. The hoity-toity things to wear with such a cos tume are gaiters in doeskin or broadcloth, fastened with small buttons of composition in the same shade, and gauntlets with match ing buttons appearing on the cuffs. Speaking of outdoor clothes, the jodhpur type of riding breeches is terrifically popular. The jodhpur, as you know, gives the long trou ser effect, with short, ankle boots completing the military, tailored appearance. Black is again in fa vor for the more formal rides, and the checkered breeches are espe cially top-notch. As long as we are getting so; terribly high-hat, may I bestow Mannequin’s Croix de Guerre upon Fred Hunt, who not only has mon ogrammed shirts from the Orient, but, according to his brothers, he is the proud owner of mono grammed shorts. Whoops, my dear! Sad to say, such incongruities as earrings—dangly ones—are being worn on the campus with brogues and sweaters. ’Tis a sad world! Anyway, here’s an Edgar Jest (apologies to Barney “Blarney” Clark)—We have come to bury Caesar, not to razz him. Amen. Innocent Bystander By BARNEY CLARK 1 JETTY ALLEN, Kappa bomb shell, reports that her bicycle has had a blessed event. She left it outside one of the campus build ings yesterday, and returned an hour later to find it leaning against a wall, beaming with ma tronly pride and accompanied by two smaller bicycles. The odd part of it is, it's a boy's bicycle! The Chi O’s created quite a disturbance the eve before last. The 1*1 I’liis woke to the sound of screams anil shrieks and rushed to the windows to dis cover the Chi O hang-out all lit up with flashlights and such and a considerablr volume of noise being emitted from the tong. Fearing that a major ca lamity was being perpetrated, they rushed to the phone and -inquired if anything was wrong, only to be informed that “No, nothing has happened; we’re just feeling happy !” The S. \. F.s inform us that these out bursts of “happiness" occur quite frequently. 1 And while we are on the subject of the Chi Os. we might state that the Kappas have requested us to ask them if they won’t plee.se pull down the shades in their den, as the activities there make it almost impossible for their freshman girls to keep their minds on their studies at night. Little Mary Graham, the Kni erulu's blonde Tri-Dolt secre tary, has a most unusual tam ily tree. Sllh says that she’s half Scotch and halt ginger ale. No chaser'.' At a latt hour last mght. Mr. Ruth “Boo” Eton, charming Delta Gamma, informed Innocent By stander that she was engaged to him, as she was tired of being engaged to no man whatsoever, and wasn't he pleased ? To which Innocent Bystander replied that he was pleased no end, but that it put him in somewhat of a spot, as he already had one girl-friend in Portland, and was not a mem ber of the Mormon church. How i ever, as the towns are some dis tance apart, he imagined that the deal could be worked. Miss Eton , insisted, though, that the arrange ment be regarded as purely tem porary. as Innocent Bystander was no catch whatsoever, and she in tended to leave him as soon as her dream man came along. Elinor Henry created an em barrassing situation yesterday, when she mistook Grant Thuem niel for an Oregon Dad! That mature look, perhaps. It is also reported that Thuem mel has to send to Portland for his hats. We didn’t know exactly WHAT interpretation to place on this, so we left it up to you. ROM ANCE-OF-THE-WEEK The Dale Stephen Brown Ann-Reed Burns affair is reach ing a fever heat, according to the latest blow by blow descrip tions reaching us from the Kap pa dug-out. Shows, dances, and tete-a-tetes have followed one another in quick succession, and the atmosphere is growing very tense. Ann-Heed is a good, pure girl, the epitome of the Knpixt ideal; nn.l Dale is described as a "nice” boy, -o it looks like an ideal match. Young live, ah me!

To the Editor: Last spring just before the Uni versity closed, the Fine Arts mu seum was opened. During sum mer session it was open for a time and was to open again in Septem ber, I believe. I can not remember having seen anything about its opening this fall in either the Eu gene papers or the Emerald. Wouldn’t it be worth the space to give it a little write-up, so we could know something more about it ? It surely should be worth a little publicity. Yours truly, A STUDENT-READER. To the Editor: While I do not doubt the ability of the three fraternity men picked by Mr. Cross to solicit non-frater nity men for the Oregana, I still feel that Mr. Cross could have shown a bit of courtesy and con siderably more tact than he did in his selection. Surely, out of the 350 unaffil iated men on the campus, one, if not all three of the men chosen, The Oregon THE STUDENTS’ STATION 11th and Hilyard Responsible service by ex perienced men . , using Associated gas, oils, and grease Also car wash ing, tire repairing, tires, tubes and batteries. CAL BRYAN FLOYD FEIILNER could have been an independent man, even if only for the sake of decency. Further, if Mr. Cross could only see the point, it would have been good business. Mr. Cross did not choose a mem ber from another fraternity to so licit in his own organization. The independents have not been inactive in campus affairs, a great | share of the honors coming from students to this school can be j traced to the efforts of independ ents. Proof in action shows that cooperation from the independents is not lacking. * I do not try to draw a close dis tinction between affiliated and un affiliated men; rather it is Mr. | Cross who has blundered. If co operation is asked by Mr. Cross he should at least give considera tion to the existence of the group I that he desires to contact. —E.
