The complete text of the faculty
resolution yesterday follows:
"WHEREAS, the Honorable
Roscoe C. Nelson, president of the
State Board of Higher Education,
speaking before public audiences
in Eugene and Corvallis on Thurs
day, November 2, 1933, made
charges against the University
community, the University stu
dents, and the University faculty,
and, in particular, against certain
unnamed members of the faculty;
and
"WHEREAS, he attributed the
discontent on the Eugene campus
to ‘little Catalines,’ ‘a cabal,’ 'a
little coterie with its roots in dis
appointed ambition and frustrated
desire;’ ‘jealousy about who should
be president;’ and
"WHEREAS, in fact, discontent
imbues the majority of the faculty
and not simply a small group, and
is the inevitable and foretold re
sult of the selection for chancellor
of a man who was involved in con
troversy; and
“WHEREAS, Mr. Nelson has
imputed the dissatisfaction on the
Eugene campus to implacable op
position to unification; and
"WHEREAS, the plan of unifi
cation originated on this campus
and there never has been any op
position to it, but, on the contrary,
a whole-hearted endeavor to make
such unification a success, to de
velop cordial relations with the
college, to maintain a cheerful
spirit, and to preserve unsullied

the highest ideals of teaching and
scholarship for the benefit of the
youth of this state and to further
the interests of the common
wealth ; and
"WHEREAS, Mr. Nelson’s pro
fessed regard for academic free
dom is in direct conflict -with his
practice in attacking the manifes
tations of it in the University;
and
“WHEREAS, the newspapers in
reporting the high lights of the
addresses of Mr. Nelson and in
printing excerpts supplied by him
have conveyed to the public no
adequate conception of the number
and nature of his insults, or of the
disproportion existing between his
few' wise and disinterested com
ments and the total mass of his
abuse, or of the tone and manner
by means of which the indignities
which he offered were aggravated,

statement of the evidence; and
“WHEREAS, Mr. Nelson was
so courteously received, attentive

he denounced to their face that
the newspapers were misled by the

of the assembled sthdents, faculty,
and townspeople proved that the

Corvallis and after there effusive

saying among other things, ‘And
so it will not be necessary for you
in the future to worry about my
affection and interest in this insti

toward the College the basis for
the expression of his hostility to

‘Unfortunately, perhaps, I have,
become during the brief period of
my tenure so much incensed at
times wdth the forces with which
you must be familiar that I find

i the destruction of an institution
and the defeat of the aims of the
board and the people of this state.
You understand I am nut telling
i you half what I told in Eugene.
I The buildings there are still stand
ing. or were when I left, but I
! speak from the shoulder;’ and
i "WHEREAS, after boasting of
having humiliated a sister insti
tution. he contumeliously misrep
resented and belittled his hospit
able Eugene audience by telling
the story, accompanied by grim
aces, of a comedian who said that
the most difficult audience to play
before was one which stick out its
chin and clenched its jaws as
though to say, 'I dare you to make
me laugh;’ and furthermore by
turning to another member of the
board, who sat behind him on the
platform both at Eugene and Cor
vallis, and saying, in substance,
'You may not have known it, but
I stood in front of you at Eugene
in order to protect you from the
brickbats that might be thrown;’
and
“WHEREAS, he depicted the
University in a shameful light by
comparing it to ‘Achilles sulking
in his tent, above which flies a
flag on which are emblazoned 'de
featism and negation,', and adding,
‘Peevishness and churlishness are
not consonant with sportsmanship
and siagnanimity’; and
WHEREAS, the whole tendency
of hi3 address at Corvallis was to
fix in the imagination of his audi
ence debasing pictures of the Uni
versity by describing its activities
as ‘burrowing faster than a man
can build,’ as ‘tearing down the
web faster than the board and
chancellor can weave it,’ as ‘spew
ing venom,’ and by stating that ‘it
does not take intelligence to tear
down; maggots can do that’; and
WHEREAS, in his Corvallis ad
dress he pitted student against
student, fostered enmity, and
broadened the breach between the
students of the two institutions by
saying, ‘Guard against the intru
sion into your being of attributes
which are unworthy . . . Look, for
example, at the Emerald,’ (the
University newspaper); and
“WHEREAS, knowing the love
of his college audience for their
former president, he employed
dramatic means to excite them to
hatred against thp University by
waving aloft the copy of an article,
presumably from the Portland
Spectator, and exclaiming, ‘I don’t
want to arouse your indignation,
or I would stop to read to you here
what I read to them this morn
ing,’ and by then proceeding to
give them the contents which he
described as the ‘nastiest fling at
the chancellor,’ and ending with
the rhetorical and inflammatory
question, ‘Did that represent the
spirit of their great university?’
And
"WHEREAS, he further misrep
resented the University and em
bittered the relations between the
two institutions by holding up the
University as a warning to the
students of the college, saying ‘I
hope you young men and women
will tike a warning from this.
Close your ears to these trouble
makers who are constantly seeing
the evil, carping and tearing down
what the state has done . . . em
bittered spirits ... I asked them
(the Eugene audience) this ques
tion; and that was: ‘whether these
10, 20, 30-cent melodramatic Cati
} lines were right?’ ... If the board
! and the chancellor were among
! them bent on a mission of destruc
| tion of the lifetime ideals of the
| University, they could not hurt
| the institution half as much as
I that cancer and rust within, that
! species of smallness of soul which
, that audience attested’; And with
I in, that species of smallness of
'soul which‘that audience attested;’
And
WHEREAS, Mr. Nelson, speak
ing thus as chairman of the board,
a position calling for fairness, has
by his violent partizanship and in
I timidating language built up an
, all but impassable social barrier
i between the chancellor and the
University faculty, embarrassed
beyond measure the efforts of the
two faculties to establish cordial
relations, and destroyed all confi
dence in his sense of justice and
fair play; and
"WHEREAS, the statements
which Mr. Nelson made were of a
slanderous nature and injurious to j
the public welfare in casting un
just suspicion on honest men and
| women who are devoting them
| selves to public education;
"NOW BE IT RESOLVED That
we the faculty in meeting assem
bled this 6th day of November,
1933, do hereby publicly protest ,
and draw the attention of the
Board of Higher Education and of
all citizens in the State of Oregon
[to the gross injustice done to in
dividuals and to a state institu
tion dedicated to the ends of pub
lic welfare by the tactless, dis
courteous, and unfounded asper
sions cast upon the University of
Oregon, its students, and the mem
bers of its faculty both collective
ly and individually: and
"BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
That in view of his partizan com
mitments and his revival of un
necessary antagonisms, in the
opinion of this faculty the best in
i tercsts of the State of Oregon call
for the resignation of Mr. Nelson
from the Board; and
"BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
Tnat copies of this resolution be
transmitted by the Secretary of
the Faculty to the Governor of the
State and the members of the
State board of higher education.

Baker Visits Eugene
During Homecoming
No trapdoors—no mirrors—no
pretense of supernatural powers—
but every act surprising and
baffling. So James E. Baker, ex
’32, describes the show to be put
on at the armory November 10
by Virgil, world famous illusionist
and former University student.
Baker spent Homecoming week
end in Eugene, leaving late yester
day for Grants Pass and points
south, where he will act as ad
vance representative for Virgil.

Loaners, Borrowers
Of Student Body Cards
Subject to Heavy Fine
Students who lend their stu
dent body cards and the person
to whom the card is loaned are
subject to a heavy fine by the
federal government on the
charge of evading the federal
admissions tax, according to
information received by Tom
Stoddard, assistant graduate
manager.
■Students are allowed a free
admission, but a tax must be
paid, by all other persons
whether admitted free or not.
Thus, loaning a student body
card would be enabling the
other person to escape the tax.

partment tonight when the troupe

O’Neill Drama
Eugene O'Neill has a habit of
building his plays to a climax,
then, in trying to sustain that cli
max, he becomes monotonous. This
may be said of “Emperor Jones"
which is now at the Mac.
The constant beat of the drum is
an excellent psychological instru
ment and it nearly drives one
crazy. It is supposed to drive the
overthrown emperor out of his
mind. However, when overdone,
it becomes merely annoying. The
first two hallucinations which ap
pear cause honest shivers to travel
up the spine, but after that their
reappearances fail in their purpos
es.
“One Sunday afternoon” is good
enough to not be submerged on the
same program with a “big time
production" like “Emperor Jones.”
It is better than average. Fran
ces Fuller, a new screen personal
ity, has a very definite appeal.
This is a story of a man who
marries a girl hopelessly in love
with him when another fellow
beats him to his choice. After
several years, he again meets his

It seems the gorgeous blond, as
played by Mary Carlisle, has most
of the Sigma Chi's pins. Well, Bus
ter Crabbe is a big silent Sigma
Chi who doesn’t bother about the
girls. So the girl bets all the sis
ters she can get his pin.
She gets the pin, but the boy
kisses her in a new way. It lasts.
I expect a girl would sort of no
tice it if Buster Crabbe kissed her.
Process of getting the pin back
and being very bitter indeed.
New angle in sports in the mov

is very good, as is Mary Carlisle.

This is the most wierd and eerie

TO BE
AMERICA’S GREATEST
STUNT GIRL
©A SUDDEN NESi/E-RACKiNG swing upward from a
racing auto into a hurtling plane...It’s all in the
day’s work for Mary Wiggins, famous stunt girl
who also dives on fire into fire and does the
suspension glide in mid-air while hanging only
by her teeth. It means something when she says,
“Camels never give me edgy nerves even when
I smoke a lot.”
IDE: I’m so glad to see you, Sue. Were
you nervous during your first flight 1
SUE: Not a bit. I smoked Camels all the
way, and I never felt better! I
haven’t worried about nerves since
I took your advice and changed to
Camels.
Listen to Mary Wiggins, greatest
of all girl stunt performers, as she
tells of her discovery that one ciga
rette is different from the others!
She says:
“I have to be sure my nerves are
healthy to do my stunts, changing
from a speeding auto to a plane, the
high dive on fire into fire, wing walk
ing while up in a plane, and the
high-altitude parachute jump. As to
smoking, I’ve found that Camels don’t
interfere with healthy nerves. I’ve
tried all the brands. Camels are
milder and better in flavor. They do
not give me edgy nerves even when I
am smoking a lot.”
« $
You’ll like that rich Camel flavor and
mildness. And your nerves will tell
you the difference there is in Camel’s
costlier tobaccos.
