Faculty Seeks Open Door for German Exiles University Professors Ask Action WRITES ROOSEVELT Would Relax Immigration Laws To Provide Asylum for Nazi Victims University of Oregon professors Thursday joined in urging Presi dent Roosevelt to relax immigra tion restrictions for the benefit of the victims of Nazi political and religious oppression. Pointing out that it is an integral part of Amer ican tradition to offer asylum tc those escaping from foreign tyran nies, the Oregon chapter of the American Association of Univer sity Professors unanimously rec ommended that provision be made to order consular and immigration officers to exercise leniency in ad mitting refugees from Germany to this country. A message containing these and other points, sent yesterday, is en route to the chief executive now. A motion recommending it was passed unanimously last night at the monthly meeting of the uni versity professors. The copy sent to Roosevelt was signed by Wayne L. Horse, dean of the school of law, and Harold J. Noble, asso ciate professor of history. They are president and secretary, re spectively, of the local unit of the association. Act Declared Fitting In affixing his name to the as sociation communication, Dean Morse pointed out that it was pe culiarly mitting that an American university group take such action at this time. “This message to the president,” he said, "embodies not only our own constitutional ideals of political and religious liberty, but the vital principles of academ ic freedom upon which all educa tional progress is based.” The plea of the local chapter in cludes a number of points set forth in a similar petition signed by leading citizens, and forwarded to the president by the American Civ il Liberties union. The matter was brought to the attention of Dean Morse and other interested facul ty members by Richard Neuberg er, former Emerald editor, who was appointed to a special com mittee of the American Civil Lib erties union specially concerned with this subject, when he was in New York following his return from Germany this summer. Text of Letter Given The text of the local chapter’s message follows: wuluuci i-joo. Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, The White House, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: It has been a part of the Amer ican traditions of individual free dom to offer asylum to those es caping from foreign tyrannies. The practice has been greatly to the benefit of our nation through the addition to its numbers of many of the abler and finer elements among European peoples. The present' harsh dictatorship in Germany is forcing numbers of the ablest of its citizens into exile, men who should be welcomed into the United States of America not only because of our long standing traditions, but also because of the additions which they can make to our culture. Unfortunately, the current execution of our immigra tion laws makes it exceedingly dif ficult for such men and women to come into the United States, al though there is ample provision in the immigration laws for their ad mission. We refer especially to an executive order of President Hoo ver made public by a news release (Continued on Page Tzoo) Conduct of University Students Commended By Washington Official “The Oregon student body has just cause to be proud of their conduct during the time they spent in Seattle the week end of the Washington game,” said Don Hedlund, assistant graduate manager of the Uni versity of Washington, in a personal letter received by Leonard Donin, who reserved tables at the Olympic hotel for an after-game celebration by Oregon adherents. “We are very happy to say that the students of Oregon behaved very gentlemanly and that there was no actual dam age done,” Hedlund asserted. Law Publication Includes Work of Student Writers Review’s Exchange List Bring'! Periodicals to Library At Law School The Oregon Law Review con tains more student work in propor tion to the number enrolled in the i school than any other law school publication' in this country, accord ing to Charles G. Howard, editor in-chief of the journal. It has also made possible the building up of one of the finest legal periodical libraries on the coast, by exchanging reviews with law schools throughout the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Aus tralia, England, France, the Phil ippine Islands, Porto Rico, and many South American countries. One entire room of the law library is occupied by these periodicals which would cost a large sum if purchased, stated Professor How ard. Since its inception in 1921 under the editorship of Prof. Thomas A. Larrimore, when it contained but 38 pages, the Oregon Law Review has appeared quarterly, until at present it has a yearly volume of 600 pages. It is the official organ of the Oregon State Bar associa tion and has a mailing list of 1350 names. The editorial management is di vided into three groups, of which the faculty constitutes the main staff. The notes and comments, and recent case sections of the re view are the direct responsibility of the student editorial board which consists of Carl E. David son, student ecfitor-in-chief; Karl Huston, notes and comments edi tor; James T. Landye, recent case notes editor; Carl H. Coad, busi ness manager; and Josephine E. Rice, statute and book review edi tor.

I Oregana Drive Nets600 ' Subscriptions Record to Date Exceeds 1933 Figure GOAL WILL BE 1000 Ed Cross, Manager, Not Satisfied With Results; Campaign to Be Continued Later Approximately 600 subscriptions to the 1934 Oregana were secured in the opening yearbook drive which ended last Saturday, ac- j cording to figures released last night by Bill McCall, sales cam paign manager of the campus an nual. The delay in compilation of the final figures on the drive was necessitated because of the tardi ness of solicitors in checking their books.

Ducks, Bruins Ready for Tilt InSouthToday Contest in Los Angeles ^ To Be Broadcast OREGON FAVORITES UCLA Weakened by Loss of Star Center; Battle of Fullbacks Expected to Feature EOS ANGELES, Oct. 27.— (Special to Oregon Daily Emer ald)—Last-minute betting odds placed the U. C. L. A. Bruins as favorites to win over Prink Callison’s Oregon invaders here tomorrow afternoon. Despite cool weather, which is expected to help the northerners' game, local dopesters picked the Uc lans’ passing attack to decide the game in their favor. A crowd of 25,000 is expected to witness the battle. Five hundred Oregon alumni gathered tonight at the Hay ward hotel to welcome the Web foot grldders. Speakers during the occasion were Hugh Rosscn, Oregon graduate manager; Bill Hayward, Oregon trainer; and Prink Callison, Webfoot coach. To date, only one football team of the five the Ducks have played has been able to break through the powerful Duck line. Columbia university of Portland scored a touchdown. Uclans Beaten Once The Californians have tasted de feat once this year. This was at the hands of the powerful Stan ford Indians, who won a close 3-to 0 victory in an early season game. Since this time the Westwood eleven has shown a great deal of improvement by winning from Utah easily by a score of 21 to 0, and last Saturday from Loyola (Los Angeles) by a 20-to-6 score. The Lemon-and-Green forward wall will outweigh the Bruin line five pounds to the man. The back fields will be about par on weight, averaging around 175 pounds. Star Center Out The U. C. L. A. line will be greatly weakened by the loss of Captain Lee Coates, mentioned as all-coast center last year, who in jured his ankle in the Loyola tilt. Reports from the Westwood cam pus state that Bill Spaulding, Bruin coach, has announced that his star linesman is definitely out of the Oregon game. Phil Nordli, light and inexperienced pivot man, will start in the injured captain’3 place. Two of the greatest fullbacks on the coast will clash when Mike Mikulak, Oregon’s smasher, and “Jolting Joe" Keeble, Uclan full back, meet up. Both players are out to show each other up. Pass Offense Planned The Westwood coach is figuring on taking to the air in order to penetrate the strong Callison de fense.

Burke Morden, junior in the school of architecture, bought himself an English Dunhill pipe while in England this summer. While being interviewed, he sat complacently smoking this impor tation of which he is, consequent ly, very fond. Morden, second assistant Boy Scout master, and 40 scouts from Oregon and Washington left Seat tle June 19, traveled by rail across Canada, and sailed for Europe from Quebec five days later. Morden visited 10 European countries in the 14 weeks he was on the continent, not remaining longer than one week in any one country. He said that he encoun tered some difficulty due to the fact that he would but grasp the ele ments of one language when, leav ing that country, he would have another to contend with. As Morden and his scouts land ed in Cherborg, the atmosphere seemed far from peaceful. Cher borg is solidly fortified, subma rines were sailing out of the har bor, and airplanes were flying overhead. He arrived in Paris on Bastille day, the fourth of July, where there was a great deal of festivity. The main streets and parks were brilliantly illuminated and orchestras played for street dances. "It is not fair to base ideas of any country on my trip, for too short a time was spent in each to gain any definite knowledge; but I felt the most comfortable in England due to the fact that I knew the language,” stated Mor den. In Belgium the most definite impression received was that they had the most and the best food of any country. Holland was very unique, due to her canals and dykes. Apparently it is a very wealthy country, and Hague in particlular shows this. As they crossed the borderline into Germany, a man in uniform confronted the party and ques tioned them in the following man ner: "What do you think of Hit ler?” To this unexpected question Morden answered that he had come from such a distance that he (Continued on Paye Three)
