NUMBER 33 BrysonMakes Retraction on Earlier Reply Impressions of Facts Are Cited as Erroneous STATEMENT ISSUED Press Is Told by Business Man First Answer to Dean Morse Is ‘Unfortunate E. R. Bryson, one of the five Eugene business men charged by Dean Wayne L. Morse of the law school with presuming to speak for the faculty of the University when the chancellor of higher edu cation was selected, issued a pre pared statement last night declar ing his previous statement that "we spoke for the business men of Eugene" to be "unfortunate in that it gives the impression that we spoke either the united opinion of the Eugene business men or by authority of an organized group, neither of which impressions con forms to the fact.” When Morse spoke at the Home coming luncheon last Saturday and decried the actions of the five lo cal business men in the matter of the appointment of the chancellor, Bryson was the only one of the five to make a statement. He de clared that Morse’s attitude was not that of most of the deans and many of the older faculty mem bers. In a front page editorial Tues day, “A Reply to Mr. Bryson,” the Emerald pointed out that “the majority of Eugene’s business men were not even consulted when the group (of five men) expressed it self as favoring Dr. Kerr and that a majority of Eugene’s business men were not in favor of Dr. Kerr’s selection at that time.” The En* erald cited a survey in support of its contention. Bryson’s statement of last night in full follows: “In an interview which I gave to the Portland Oregonian pub lished in its issue of Monday, No vember 6, 1933, in response to a statement of Dean Morse that a certain group of business men named by him and of which I was one, presumed to speak for the University faculty before the state board of higher education with reference to the appointment of Dr. Kerr as chancellor, I made the statement that the group in ques tion 'spoke for the business men of Eugene and many of its citizens and a large and prominent group of University alumni who felt that Dr. Kerr’s appointment was in the interests of the state.’ “I am frank to say that the statement that we 'spoke for the business men of Eugene' was un fortunate in that it gives the im pression that we spoke either the united opinion of the Eugene busi ness men or by authority of an or ganized group, neither of which impressions conforms to the fact. The individual action of the group in question taken at that time was taken after consultation with num bers of Eugene’s leading business men and citizens, some of whom were opposed to our action but thr great majority of whom as I thought approved of our course. “I regret the use of language in the interview referred to calculat ed to give an erroneous impression of the facts. (Signed) E. R. BRYSON.” Two Plays Presented At Very Little Theater At the regular meeting of the Very Little Theater group last Sunday night, two one-act plays were presented. They were "Bak er's Dozen,” by H. H. Monroe, and “The Sequel.” A business meeting followed the program.

Group Will Study Effect of Fuss on Law School Here Association to Investigate Higher Educational Controversy; Morse Cooperates Word reached Eugene yesterday that the Association of American Law Schools had directed that an investigation be made of the con troversy in higher education in Oregon and to determine its effect on the standing of the law school. Dean Harold Shepherd of the University of Washington school of law has been appointed to con duct the investigation and report to the association. Wayne L. Morse, dean of the University law school, said last night, “I welcome the investiga tion and shall endeavor to assist Dean Shepherd in every way. The investigation ordered by the asso ciation is indicative of the fact that the association is aware that conditions in higher education in Oregon warrant attention, in order to make certain no injustice is done to those who are devoting their lives to the teaching of law.” Music Students To Give Weekly Recital Monday Cellists, Pianists, Soprano to Be Entertainers on Program In Music Auditorium Featured on the weekly Monday night student recital of next week are: Charlotte Cherry, cellist; Ma dell Beidler, pianist, Arlene Soasey, soprano; Catherine Mish ler, pianist, and Roberta Spicer Moffitt, cellist.

Portland Meet Of State Board Due Tomorrow Resignation of Nelson to Be Discussed SESSION IS INFORMAL Successor to Portland Attorney Yet to Be Named as Meier Maintains Silence — At a late hour last night, the Oregon state board of higher edu cation was still without a new member to replace Roscoe C. Nel son, Portland attorney who re signed as president of the group Wednesday. Reports from Portland indicat ed that Governor Meier yesterday had not yet decided when Nelson’s successor would be named or who the appointee would be. The board will meet in Portland tomorrow to discuss the unsettled problems faced by higher educa tion and review the circumstances surrounding the resignation of Nel son.

Morse of the law school that Chancellor W. J. Kerr resign from his posi tion as head of the Oregon higher educational system. Morse made his suggestion immediately after Nelson had tendered his resignation to the governor. Morse stated yesterday, “I wish to make it perfectly clear that in suggesting that Dr. Kerr resign in order to promote the best interests of higher education, I ^pokein my individual capacity. In view of the fact that I had become involved in a vital controversy, I felt under obligation to all friends of higher education to state the real issue frankly. I have no intention of embarrassing the board. I am pleased to note that large num bers of citizens appreciate the fact that I have confined my remarks to the basic issues involved.” Reservations for Rally, Celebration Must Be in Today Cover Charge to Be Seventy-five Cents for Students with ASUO Tickets Reservations for the Friday night rally and for the Saturday night celebration at the Multno mah hotel in Portland must be made at the College Side today.

Class Identity Will Be Determined by Terms in School Constitutional Revision Committee Adopts Arbitrary Schedule For Voting Privileges The constitutional revision com mittee, meeting yesterday in its third formal session, decided that class identity for the exercise of voting privileges shall be deter mined by the number of terms spent in attendance at the Univer sity. Under the new plan, students will be permitted to vote with the sophomore class for junior officers if they have been enrolled in school ‘two terms in any previous year. To vote with the junior class for senior officers, students shall have been in school at. least two terms in any two preceding- years. To participate in senior class activi ties a student must have been en rolled seven terms in any three preceding years. Under the new plan, students transferring to the University from elsewhere will fall under the same rules as prevail here; however, if their former school used the semes ter system, it was decided to per mit one semester to equal two University terms, and two semes ters to equal three University terms. The formation of a class identity board was considered, the board to consist of the vice-president of the student body, all class presi dents, and a member of the Uni versity scholarship committee ap pointed by the A.S.U.O. vice-presi dent. Dr. Noble Shows Languages Need In Oriental Trade History Prof<‘ssor Spooks Before Honorary; Russian Recognition Declared Timely Dr. Harold J. Noble, associate professor of history, who spoke last night at a meeting of Pan Xenia, foreign trade honorary, told the group that his experience in the orient had convinced him that any man who planned to go into .trade there .should know some thing about the languages. Chin ese and Japanese, especially Chin iese, according to Dr. Noble, are easily and quickly learned. Al though they can be “picked up” with ease after a man arrives in the Orient, a foreknowledge of these languages is of great advan tage. Dialects are so numerous that 10 miles on any side of Shanghai, a resident of that city can not be understood. The written language, however, is very well known and fairly uniform, so that much con versation is carried through what is known as writing on the hand. This is done by drawing the char acters on the palm of one hand with the fingers of the other, and the eye of the observer must be trained to follow these swift mo tions. Dr. Noble believes that Presi dent Roosevelt’s move toward rec ognizing Russia is very timely. This decision should have been made several years ago, he stated. Since this arrangement was made with Russia, Japan has ceased hostilities toward her almost en tirely. Prejudice Against Women At Oxford Gradually Fades By VELMA McINTYRE Women and grades take a back seat at Oxford, so our Rhodes scholars find themselves in a for eign environment in more ways than one. This statement may lead to false illusions, however, and an explanation is in order. The student at Oxford is not worried about grade.s, but an ob serving tutor more than makes up for this delinquency of mental strain. Each student carries on his work under supervision of a personal tutor whose requirements excel any worries ever known to be incurred by grades. Women at Oxford aren’t partic ularly popular—with the old-time Dominies at least. The prejudice against women in affairs has been broken down slowly, and 1920 was the dawn of a new era for them at Oxford. This was the first year degrees were given to women and along roads leading to the university came women, young women, middle-aged women and old women, some of them so old and feeble that the assistance of a cane was their only insurance for securing the degrees received in the 18—. Luton Ackerson was the first Rhodes scholar from the Univer sity of Oregon. He was selected from the class of 1916. Kirby Miller, the next candidate, was elected in 1921. He renewed the interest in the Rhodes scholar ship, four years having passed since a candidate had been elected from Oregon. He married a Uni versity of Oregon graduate and is now acting as head of the philos ophy department at the Univer sity of Missouri. Arthur Rosebrough, elected in 1924, received his "Blue” which is equivalent to a varsity letter but carries with it a much higher so cial prestige. He is now practic ing international law in New York. Clinton Howard, elected in 1925, recently completed work for his doctor's degree in history at the University of California. Alfons Korn, Rhodes scholar in 1927, wa3 instructor of English at the University of Illinois and is now studying for his doctor’s de gree at the University of Cali fornia. Theodore Ruch was not one of Oregon's candidates, but was con sidered such a strong candidate that he was chosen with three others from the United States at large. He was retained at Oxford a year after receiving his degree, as an assistant tutor in science. He achieved recognition by being given a fellowship at Yale where he is now studying.
