LAST INNING FATAL
Oregon Normal Player Soeks Out
Triple With Bases Full;
Koch, Hunt Star
A ninth-inning triple with bases
full spelled a 4-to-3 defeat for
Coach Bill Reinhart’s University
of Oregon baseball nine in the
opening game of the season yes
terday afternoon against Oregon
normal at Monmouth. The return
game will be played here tomor
row afternoon at 2:30 on the local
diamond.
The Webfoots met defeat de
spite four-hit hurling by Ron Gem
mell while his teammates were
collecting nine bingles from the
offerings of Treadway Charles,
star pitcher of the Wolverines.
All of the Duck runs were
scored in a big fourth inning spree.
Wes Clausen opened with a hit and
scored immediately afterward on
a hit by Ray Koch. Joe Gordon
followed with another drive to
bring in Koch and crossed the
plate himself later in the inning
on a single by Mike Hunt.
Ducks Take Lead
Larry Wolfe’s nine opened its
scoring in the sixth, when Mato
drove out a hit to score Kelsey.
Then as the game went into the
final inning with the Ducks on the
long end of a 3 to 1 score, the
trouble started.
A sudden streak of wildness by
Gemmell let both McKenzie and
Gorman get on base with free
passes. Then on an error by De
Launey, at the hot corner for Ore
gon, Charles got on to load the
bases. McConnel then stepped into
a fast one and drove in all three
men with a long triple to raise
the Wolverine count to four and
end the contest.
For the Webfoot ball tossers,
the starting lineup went the en
tire route. Koch and Hunt led the
hitting, with the former pouncing

of volume and firmness.”
She continues: . . In no num

Op. 31. This was played with
brilliance and surety. The audi

rTrips to Europe9 Students?’
Offer Made by Eyler Brown
A rambling trip to out-of-way
spots and familiar places of Swe
den, Belgium, Germany, France,
and Italy is available to students
of the University and others inter
ested, through the medium of a
series of sketches, etchings, ac
qua-tints and water colors which
Eyler Brown, assistant professor
of architecture, has placed on ex
hibition at the school of fine arts.
Brown has just returned from a
stay of 20 months in Europe,
where he not only traveled exten
sively, but studied under leading
artists of the continent. Wherever
he went he hunted out the unusual
and picturesque scenery, yet typi
cal of the region. The result is a
travelogue of rare charm and
beauty, especially if Eyler happens
to be near to add a word or two
as background for the scenes.
Most of Brown’s studying was
done in Belgium, under Jules De
Bruycker, foremost etcher of that
country, and in London under
Malcolm Osborne, of the Royal
College of Art. Brown went to
Belgium in July, 1932, under a
C.R.B. scholarship grant, an hon
or accorded to young artists ol
promise in this country. After
studying there for some months
he went to London and entered
the Royal college upon a recom
mendation given him by Bruycker.
The exhibition covers a wide
range of subjects as well as coun
tries. As the exhibit room is en
tered the first work noted is a
series of sketches of Swedish land
scapes, done in delicate blue. Just
enough detail is included to give
the viewer an idea of the many
beauty spots found by the artists.
The scene quickly shifts to Bruges,
Belgium, where in a detailed etch
ing Blown not only brings ou*
the charm but a definite feeling of
antiquity of the Hospital of St.
John, an institution that has been
continuously operating since the
[ 12th century. The etching depicts
the entrance, with a group of
monks bearing a patient on a
stretcher.
In his etching of the Porta Mag
giore, in Orvieto, Italy, Brown
brings out the massiveness of the
entrance to this refuge of ancient
popes. Another view,made in this
picturesque spot shows a castle
[ high up on a sheer cliff, while a
| third depicts a section of the pub
lic square. All three are unusual
ly expressive of that historic place.

Senior Class
Offers Loan
Fund As Gift
Amount Is Estimated at
Five Hundred Dollars
VOTE ON FOUR IDEAS
Seniors Asked to rurohase Caps,
Gowns, Buy Announcements
Before April 10
A student loan fund of approxi
mately $500 for University seniors
was voted as the gift of the class
of 1934 at a meeting last night in
Johnson hall. Details for adminis
tration of and regulations con
cerning the fund will be worked
out and presented at a later meet
ing of the class, Ed Martindale,
president, said.
A definite amount cannot be set
for the fund, Martindale declared,
because the class had subsidized
the Oregana and the expected
amount of class fees had not been
paid at registration time. When
more definite data concerning
these two items have been found,
the amount of the student loan
fund will be set.
Thi3 gift was voted upon favor
ably over three other suggestions
made by a committee which had
been appointed for that purpose,
under the chairmanship of Virginia
Hartje, aided by Helen Binford
and Charles Kennedy, who was re
placed by Charles Thomas.
Members of the graduating
class were exhorted to purchase
graduation announcements and to
order caps and gowns on or before
April 10 at the Co-op. Announce
ments cost 10 cents each, while
graduation apparel requires a $4
outlay, of which $2 must be paid
for ordering and $2 as a deposit
which will be refunded when the
cap and gown are returned.'
46 More Students
To Get Relief Jobs
Approximately 150 University
students received work assign
ments for the month of April yes
terday under the reinstated federal
student relief program. Today 46
more will be assigned to jobs on
the campus, filling the University’s
quota for this month.
The campus employment secre
tary, Miss Janet Smith, has on
file the applications of more than
300 student job-seekers, all of
whom are eligible for the work.
“An effort will be made by the
University’s student aid commit
tee to distribute the 196 jobs equal
ly among the 300 eligible appli
cants during the two and a half
months,” Miss Smith said. In
distributing the jobs, the commit
tee takes into consideration first
the needs of the individual student,
the employment secretary ex
plained.
Committee to Contact
Men for Y Conference
The campus Y. M. C. A. started
planning- for this year’s Seabeck
conference yesterday, when Cos
grove La Barre, president, ap
pointed a committee of five to be
gin contacting University men to
encourage attendance at the edu
cational gathering to be held at
Seabeck, Washington, June 11 to
16.
The committee includes Vernon
Nelson, Henry Roberts, Verne
Adams, Eugene Stromberg, and
Cosgrove La Barre. Last year
eight Oregon students attended
the meet, where students from
colleges and universities of the
Northwest gathered to exchange
ideas on economic and social prob
lems, and to hear the opinion of
authoritative speakers.

OSC, Oregon Will
Give Joint Choral
Program Sunday
Cosmopolitan Program Planned;
25 Cents Admission Required
Of N'on-A.S.U.O. Members
The Polyphonic choir of the
University and the College chorus
from Oregon State will present a
conceit, sponsored by the student
body, Sunday afternoon at 3:30
o'clock in the music school audi
torium. The group will be con
ducted by Paul Petri, head of the
voice department, and Roy Bry
son, associate conductor. Maxine
Hill is to be the accompanist.
The program is to be made up
of miscellaneous choral composi
tions and is cosmopolitan, appeal
ing greatly to previous audiences.
Classical compositions by Beetho
ven and Brahms will be included,
also several interesting Russian
numbers. An exceedingly differ
ent arrangement of Stephen Fos
ter’s “Massa’s in de Cold, Cold
Ground,” and an arrangement of
the popular Irish melody, "Would
God I Were a Tender Apple Blos
som,” will be presented. Another
outstanding number is Rachmanin
off’s “Prelude.” Several composi
tions by modern composers com
plete the program.
Among the solos will be a com
position, "Lullaby by Johannes
Brahms,” sung by Jessie Long,
soprano.
Edith Grimm, pupil of Prof.
George Hopkins of the University
of Oregon, will play “Cracovienne
Fantastique," by Paderewski.
Students having A. S. U>. O.
tickets will,be admitted to the con
cert free of charge, others will be
compelled to pay a 25 cent admis
sion fee.
OSC Man Makes
Map of Campus
Building System
Data TVill Include Size, Number
Of Rooms, Windows, Location,
Network of Pipe Lines
A survey of the University
property is being made by G. V.
Skeleton, superintendent of roads
and walks at Oregon State col
lege, to obtain data for a com
prehensive map locating buildings,
sewer pipes, and water lines.
Mr. Skeleton has been working
on this project for over a year at
times when the weather permits.
He is also mapping the property
of all the institutions under the
state board of higher education.
This record, when complete, will
show the size, number of rooms,
windows, as well as the location
of the buildings. It will also show
the underground network of water
and sewer pipes. Its purpose is to
benefit new men coming on the
campus who are not acquainted
with its make-up, and to enable
them to refer to the map instead
of going to the building to meas
ure it. If any outside construc
tion is necessary, constructors will
know what to expect to find when
they start digging. This, says D.
L. Lewis, superintendent of the
University grounds, will save hit
ting and breaking many under
ground pipes.
Mr. Skeleton is being aided by
one instrument man whom he
brings with him, and Paul Howell,
former University student.
Freshmen of Last
Fifty Years Honor
Their ‘Owiv Dean
John Straub, ‘Father of Oregon,’
Lives on in Memory of
Associates
Eighty-one years ago today
there was bora in the city of
Brotherly Love a man who, for
50 years, was brother and guiding
spirit to every incoming class of
freshmen to the University of Ore
gon. John Straub, from the time
he joined the faculty of the newly
created University in 1878, to the
day of his death, less than two
years ago, sheltered and advised
the first year students.
Just as true as when it was spo
ken last April at the dedication
of the John Straub Memorial
building, is the eulogy of the kind
ly dean by Frederic S. Dunn, pro
fessor of Latin.
“Many an alumnus can avow
that he feels yet that fatherly arm
about him, that pat of the hand
upon his shoulder .. . can still
hear those bantering, half-warn
ing, rallying charges that stiff
ened his resolves and rescued him
from disgrace or failure.”
After serving Oregon as dean
of the college of literature, sci
ence and arts, and as dean of men,
Straub was made dean emeritus ill
1925, although he continued to of
fer the welcoming hand, of fellow
ship to timid new-comers for
some .years.
“Generations of freshmen have
come and gone, carrying with
them the same memories of a hand
grasp that warmed the heart, a
smile that chased away trouble, a
word that was decisive for good
and the soul’s welfare.” So said
Dunn, a friend of Straub for many
years.
Today, a simple ceremony of
laying flowers on the grave of
the late dean is planned to com
memorate the man whose name is
revered as no other’s in the his
tory of the institution.

Fund Available
To Give Aid to
Needy Students
All Requiring Help Will
Be Accommodated
CWA LESSONS NEED
Loan Committee Considers Effort
Applicant lias Made and
Scholastic Record
Sufficient money for ali stu
dents who need financial help and
who can qualify for loans is now
available, it was announced from
Dean of Men Virgil D. Earl's of
fice in Johnson hall yesterday. Re
cent repayments to the loan funds
have been greater than anticipat
ed, according to the student loan
committee, and all students re
quiring aid may be accommodated.
The loan committee takes into
consideration a student's scholas
tic record, general reputation,
need for aid, present indebtedness,
ability to repay, and the effort
which the student has made to as
sist himself. The University does
not have the machinery to accept
various forms of collateral, there
fore it requires the signature of
two responsible citizens in addi
tion to that of the student bor
rower.
Application blanks are procura
ble at the office of the dean of
men, through whom applications
must be made to the student loan
committee. Women applicants
should first consult with Dean of
Women Hazel P. Schwering in
Johnson hall, and receive her ap
proval of the loan before making
formal application at the dean of
men’s office.
“We expect fully as many loans
as last year," stated Earl yester
day. "There was a total of 1142
loans to students last year, 200 of
which were for long terms. Thus
far this year there have been
about 150 long term loans, with
prospects of from 50 to 60 this
term.
“Undoubtedly, the CWA em
ployment of 196 students of the
University has decreased the num
ber requiring loans to continue in
school," said Dean Earl.
AtlileteH Replacement
Approvd by Yeomen
A motion to petition the com
mittee on intramural sports for
the right to make replacements in
the list of 40 athletes submitted
at the beginning of the year to
enter in intramural competition
was passed at a meeting of the
Oregon Yeomen, unaffiliated men’s
organization, Wednesday night in
the Y hut.
The Yeomen will be hampered
greatly during the remainder of
the season by the loss of several
of their best tennis stars, who will
play for the varsity team. Under
the present ruling they can re
place none of the losses.
Merlin Blais was placed in
charge of securing talent for a
coming radio contest.
Five Students to Give

ian Lindley, accompanist.
Miss Whitmer and Miss Robin
son are students of Aurora Potter
Underwood; Miss Mishler and Miss
Lindley of George Hopkins; and
Kenneth Asbury of John Stehn.
The program includes numbers
by Beethoven, Liszt, Rachmanin
off, and Chopin.
Committee of Fifty to

To Plan Further Action
An important meeting of the
Committee of Fifty will be held
this afternoon at 5 o’clock. A
revised list of the student lead
ers who composed this group is
published in today’s Emerald.
All of those named should be
present, as important steps in
the campaign for A. S. U. O.
membership will be discussed
and further action planned.
The meeting will be held in

Figure Climbs
The drive for student member
ship in the A. S. U. O. reaches
the climax of its first week today
with a program planned to explain
to as many students as possible
the advantages of student body
privileges. The student speakers’
committee, headed by Bill Davis,
will outline the situation in all
campus living organizations at the
noon hours, while the Committee
of 50 will meet at 5 p. m. to dis
cuss plans for further means of
reaching non-members.
Non-members staged a rush on
the cashier's window at Johnson
hall yesterday, and figures last
night showed that a majority of
undergraduates registering had
paid the student body membership
fee. An official tabulation dis
closed that 881 have chosen to join
the student organization, while
824 failed to pay the required fee,
placing the percentage of A. S.
U. O. members at 52 per cent.
Speakers to Appeal
In the meanwhile the Oregon
State Barometer announced that
the organized student body at that
institution was in a majority with
approximately 65 per cent of those
registered having paid the optional
fee.
In talking before the members
of living organizations this noon,
speakers will point out the danger
which now faces the A. S. U. O.

Army Day Celebration
On Today! Oregonians
Show Your Patriotism
Army day will be celebrated
at the University of Oregon in
fitting fashion.
So much seemed evident last
night when a tall blond young
man approached the Emerald
copy desk and left the following
item for the Campus Calendar
column:
“An Army Day parade will
be held on the campus today at
9:50 a. m. Watch for the
marchers on Thirteenth street.”
The young man refused to
give his name, and as a conse
quence his notice cannot be
used in the Campus Calendar
column. But he was evidently
sincere, so Emerald executives
decided to offer his announce
ment for what it may be worth.
No review is believed to be
scheduled by the military de
■ partment in that place.
They Had to Be Good in Gay
Nineties; Faculty Ruled Them
—
By HOWARD KESSLER
It is doubtful if any day could
be more suitable than this to re
introduce the set of somewhat
stringent and antiquated rules by
which the student was governed
in the early days of this Univer
sity, as they were entered into
the minute books of John Straub,
then secretary of the faculty. For
today is the late dean’s birthday.
Recently undertaken, the work
of systematically arranging and
indexing the minute books and
other valuable documents of the
University is far from culmina
tion, but daily it brings to light
quaint and sometimes amusing
dictates to the students of the
nineteenth century.
Enumerated on the minutes of
the faculty meeting of September
11, 1882, are a number of strict
demands made of the students,
such as:
“A student must not enter the
brewery or a saloon.
‘‘Or drink any intoxicating liq
uor while In attendance at the
University, or on his or her way
to and from the same, except on
the prescription of a physician.
"Or use tobacco in any form or
way while on the college campus.
"Or injure the building or prop
erty of the University.
“Or join any college secret so
ciety.
"Or stand or sit around the
doors or making disturbing noise
in the halls of the college building.
"Or as a member of a class or
of any literary society conspire
against the government and con
trol of the faculty or of any mem
ber of the faculty.
"Or refuse to pay any fine as
sessed by the faculty upon himself
or upon the literary society of
which he is a member for any mis
conduct of himself or of any mem
ber of his society."
Another entry reads: “Moved:
that it be the duty of the presi
dent to investigate the cases of
intemperance having occurred
among the students at Lane’s hall
Friday evening.”
I Coeducation was delivered a sad
blow on September 28. “It was
moved that the young ladies and
gentlemen be assigned different
rooms. On motion the young la
dies are required to use the stair
ways on the south end of the
