28 GRIDDERS LEAVE
Peppy Talks, Inspired Yells, and
Noise Parade Trough City
Feature Celebration
One of the biggest and most en
thusiastic rallies in Oregon history
last night sent Prink Callison’s 28
grid warriors on their way to
southern California for their clash
with the U. C. L. A. football team
Saturday.
Hundreds of students gathered
about Mickey Vail, yell king, and
his assistants to shout themselves
hoarse in yelling encouragement to
the team and coach.
Co-captains Mark Temple and
Bernie Hughes promised to “bring
home the bacon,” while Mike Mik
ulak asserted his faith in the abil
ity of the Webfoots to avenge last
year’s surprise defeat.
“Team Greatest”
“It’s the greatest Oregon team
of them all,” declared “Skeet”
Manerud, himself a noted Univer
sity quarterback in 1922, “and I’ve
watched the Webfoots for 25
years, ever since I was so high.”
Tom Tongue, student body pres
ident, called upon the students to
back up the- team and give them
cheers that would ring in their
ears even as they plunged for the
Uclan goal-posts. “U. C. L. A.
has a fine team, but we have a
better one,” he said. “We want
this to be just another stepping
stone in the march for all-coast
honors.”
After a series of ihspired yells,
the crowd broke up to stage a
parade of noise throughout the
city. ‘‘If the boys win this game
we’ll do thigs on Monday,” prom
ised Vail.

Committee Named to Revise
Working Hours of Janitors
C. H. Gram, state labor commis-,
sicner, yesterday named a commit- j
tee of five to revise the schedule!
of working hours of janitors on the;
University of Oregon campus, j
This constitute the first concrete
step toward shorter hours, as ad
vocated by the Emerald.
The action came as the result
of a meeting in the men's dormi
tory at which Gram presided, when
the facts of the 9%-hour day dis
pute were reviewed in the pres
ence of all the janitors, a number |
of University officials, Judge Law-1
rence T. Harris of Eugene, and|
William Einzig of Salem, state
purchasing agent.
The committee for revision of
hours consists of Judge Harris as
chairman, Tom Sheridan of the
Eugene labor council, and three
members of the janitorial force, W.
L. Todd, A. H. Whitney, and Carl
McMahan. Sterling Green, editor
of the Emerald, acted as spokes
man for the janitors at the meet
ing, and was directed to meet with I
the committee next Thursday for
its first discussion of the problem.
In presenting his stand today,
Green contended that the nine and
a half hours of work demanded of
the janitors , starting at 6 in the
morning and ending at 6 at night,
are not only beyond the maximum
permitted by the state law, but
also constitute a social and moral
injustice which he branded as “vic
ious and unwarranted.’’ He fur
ther declared that janitors’ salar
ies should not be further reduced,
as their pay has already been
slashed from 18 to 24 per cent in
the past two years.
Commissioner Gram declared
that he agreed with the Emerald
editor on two of the points, and
declared that he hoped something
would be done to rectify the situa
tion. He said, however, that . he
did not believe that the O'i-hour
day constitutes a violation of state
law, and that in his opinion state
institutions are exempt from the
provisions of the statute. He ac
knowledged, however, that the
code permits ambiguous interpre
tation, and readily agreed to sub
mit it to Attorney General I. H.
Van Winkle for an Opinion.
Earl M. Pallett, executive 'sec
retary, spoke for the administra
tion. He declared that classes dur
ing the day made it virtually im

Contracted Price
Of Milk to Be Met
A truce was declared in the con
troversy between administration
officials and Eugene milk distrib
utors when representatives of both
groups met with William Einzig
yesterday. It was decided that the
contracted price of 32 cents a gal
lon would be paid until the return
of Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, di
rector of dormitories, from the
East.
When Mrs. Turnipseed returns,
the conditions of the contract into
which she entered, the prevailing
wholesale prices throughout the
state, and other matters affecting
the milk supply of the dormitor
ies will be investigated. At this
time it will be decided whether
the 32-cent price is too high to
pay.
U. of. O Alums Instrumental
In Placing Trees on Campus
“Only God can make a tree”—
but University alums have had
something to say as to where cer
tain ones on the campus are grow
ing.
Homecoming will find even the
silent trees adding their bit toward
the welcome of graduates. The re
turning graduate of years ago has
a peculiar interest in that bit of
flora which to the student of to
day is just a tree.
Five members made up the first
graduating class of the University
in 1878. The late Robert S. Bean
was among its roll of members.
This class started the custom of
tree planting.
Professor Condon, the veteran
instructor in geology, worked up
the idea and under his supervision
the first memorial tree was plant
ed. This tree, an English laurel,
is still growing and may be seen
near the west walk leading from
Deady to Villard.
The succeeding class left a Jap
. anese cedar which stands a little
northwest of the ’78 laurel.
The class of 1S80 was the larg
est to graduate for 15 years. True
to its size, it left a California big
tree, that has not lived up to its
name, for it is still very small.
The members of this class, how
ever, have made its influence felt
in the Northwest.
A Port Orford and mountain
hemlock were the next to make
the campus home soil.
The elm at Washington’s tomb,
Mt. Vernon, is the parent of the
beautiful elm west of Villard. Sen
ator Slater, father of one of the
graduates, sent a slip from this
famous tree in Washington and
the elm on our campus is in mem
ory of the planting.
The succeeding classes left a liv
ing memory of their united efforts
up to the year 1897. This class
conceived the brilliant idea of util
izing one of the primeval oaks,
which afterward became known as
Condon oaks, as evidence of their
class history. They left a brass
plate upon one of these huge trees,
on the southeast corner of the cam
pus.
The class of ’96. to insure the
integrity of its spirit, planted two

Oregon Given
Carnegie Fund
For Fifth Year
Grant of $6,750 Will Be
Used Next Summer
WIRE SENT BY DEAN
Scholarship Provides Expenses
For Art Teachers; Western
Center at. University
For the fifth consecutive year,
the University art and architec
ture department will receive the
American Institute of Architects
Carnegie grant of $6,750 for an
art center on the campus here
next summer.
Word to this effect was received
by wire yesterday, from Ellis F.
Lawrence, dean of the school of
fine arte, who is attending a meet
ing of the Association of Colleg
iate Schools of Architects in Chi
cago.
Teachers Awarded
The Carnegie appropriation is
apportioned to art teachers of
smaller schools of higher educa
tion both in the Pacific northwest
and in other western sections of
the United States. These teach
ers are chosen from institutions
whose art curricula need strength
ening.
The Carnegie center here is an
important part of the summer
session activities offered on the
campus at that time.
Expenses Provided
The Carnegie fund provides suf
ficient. money for all expenses of
the art teachers who study under
this grant. Last summer 21 schol
arships were provided. The Uni
versity of Oregon was selected by
the Carnegie corporation as the
art educational center in the West,
and Harvard university was* se
lected as the center for the East.
These two schools were the only
institutions of higher learning ir.
the United States named for this
purpose.
Selection of the University for
this work is regarded as high rec
ognition of the staff of the art and
architecture department and of its;
high rating among departments of
this type over the nation.
Flaming W Idea
Backed by Frosh
The freshman class has whole
heartedly endorsed the flaming
“O” idea in place of the annual

mond, freshman class president.
This is in keeping with plans al
ready worked out by the Home
coming directorate.
A1 Davis has been appointed
general chairman of the event by
Hammond. Davis said last night
that the "O'1 this year would be
of colored flares, in accordance
with regulations of the Eugene
city council.

Secretary Visits
OSC Conference
Miss Ida May Pope, appoint
ment secretary for the school of
education on the campus, was in
Corvallis Wednesday for an all
day conference with Miss May
.Workinger, appointment secretary
for Oregon State college.
The two secretaries laid plans
for teacher appointments so that
they will be working <n cooperation
with each other. This is the sec
ond year the two secretaries have
worked together.
During last year the University
placed 13 per cent more teachers
in positions than previously in spite
of the poor financial situation of
Oregon schools. At the state col
lege 10 per cent more teachers
were placed. There has been a
heavy falling off of placements at
other colleges throughout the Unit
ed States, Miss Pope states.

CLASSES DISMISSED
Impressions of American Scene
To Be Discussed by Moslem
Speaker and Editor
The fundamental unity of hu
man civilization was stressed by
Syud Hossain, Mohammedan jour
nalist and speaker, in his answers
to questions put by journalism stu
dents at an informal meeting- held
last night in Alumni hall of the
Gerlinger building.
Today at 10 o'clock classes will
be dismissed for a student body
assembly in the gymnasium of the
Gerlinger building at which Hos
sain will j>e the main speaker.
Frances Brockman is to play an
opening violin number. Lucile
Coate will present the Portland
alumnae of Chi Omega scholar
ship trophy, while Dr. P. A. Par
sons will present the Portland
alumni of Sigma Chi scholarship
award. Chancellor W. J. Kerr
will introduce Hossain.
Another Meeting Planned
At 11 o’clock Hossain will be in
Alumni hall to answer further
questions of students and towns
people interested. He will be in
Eugene until about 5 o'clock this
afternoon.
“An Easterri Pilgrim in Western
Lands: Impressions of the Ameri
can Scene,” is the topic announced
for Hossain's assembly address.
As he sketched for the journalism
students the historical background
of . the relationship of East and
West, however, he made it clear
that when we in Oregon say “Far
East,” we really mean “Near
West"!
Though this may seem at first
glance an unimportant distinction,
he pointed out, it really has defi
nite psychological implications.
When we say “Far East," we
think of people and events in those
countries as remote and unrelated
to us. In reality, we are closely
linked both economically and
physically. To England and
France, where the term “Far
East” originated, it had meaning.
To us it is not only inaccurate but
extremely misleading.
East Is West
Contradicting Kiplin.Vs popular
poem, “East is East, and West is
West, and never the twain shall
meet,” Hossain traced the prog
ress of civilization from the East
to the West. When Europe was
still in a state of naked barbar
ism, Asia was civilized. Northern
Africa, Hossain said, is linked cul
turally, if not geographically, with
the civilized nations of Asia.
The Greeks, he believes, are
rightly given much' credit for the
civilization of the Western world,
since they developed the scientific
method. But, he added, they de
rived many of their fundamental
principles from India, Persia, and
Egypt; and their literature might
never have been preserved for us
had it not been for the Arabs, who
protected the manuscripts and
translated them for the Romans

Municipal Governments in
Europe Tend to Centralise
“The municipal governments of i
Europe are tending more toward
centralization,” stated G, Montagu
Harris, international authority on
local governments and vice-presi
det of the International Union of
Local Authorities, in an address on
"What Is Happening to Local Gov
ernments” at Commerce hall last
night.
Harris stated that every coun
try has its problems of local gov
ernment. The reason for the new
interest in local governments comes
mainly from the World war set
tlements where so many new
countries such as Latvia, Estonia,
Jugoslavia and others were set up.
With the formations of these new
governments, problems of munci
pal government arose.
“Autos, airplanes, and other
new means of swift transportation
have brought up new problems.
People who go from one destina
tion to another must pass over
roads supported by the county or
municipality that they pass
through, and consequently the peo
ple of that county or city feel that
these transients should pay for the
upkeep of the roads. Such prob
lems as these tend to bring munici
pal and county government re
form.”
The speaker gave a brief history
of the municipal governments of
the countries of Europe, stressing
the many countries, namely, Ger
many, France, England and Rus
sia whose local governments are
mostly under the control of the
central government. Switzerland,
because of its democratic form of
government, and the Scandinavian
countries, because of the long dis
tance between cities, are the only
countries left that give complete
control to the municipalities them
selves.
“I do not,” said Harris, “believe
that centralization is growing iit
England. The proof of this is the
Act of 1929 which decreased the
amount of control of the central
government over finances of the
local government.”
