Through FERA
Registration Is Expected
To Reach 2500
Red Book Changed
O.S.C. Shows Enrollment
Increase of Similar
Proportions
Two hundred and sixty students
have been employed this term un
der funds provided by the Federal
government according to Earl M.
Pallett, chairman of the Federal
Student relief committee. The
work has been evenly distributed
between old and new students with
earnings averaging $15 a month.
The Federal government has al
lotted $3,525 a month to the Uni
versity for the entire school year.
Only those students who could not
otherwise attend the University
have been given F.E.R.A. work.
Thirty-five cents an hour will be
paid.
Work Varied
The work includes library as
sistance, clerical work, stenogra
phy, and assistance with research
projects. This will make it possible
for the University to have many
jobs completed which' ot could
not afford to do in previous years.
The work will not take the place
of that usually allotted to students
on part time basis in any way.
Many more jobs are needed for
board and room for both men and
women. All applications should
contain a list of the student's
qualifications, the type of work
preferred, and should be sent to
Miss Janet Smith, who is employ
ment secretary of the University.
Miss Smith's office is in theY. M.
C. A. building on the campus.
Students who have received
F.E.R.A. work during the fall term
have been notified of their employ
ment. The departments under
which they will work will be as
signed to them this week.
Details Listed
As soon as a student is notified
under which division he will work,
he should report as soon as pos
sible to the person indicated in
the assignment. It is important
that the schedule of hours allotted
e3ch student for a month is fol
lowed. If a student becomes ill, or
for any reason is not able to work
the total hours assigned, he should
notify Gladys Kerlee, local 301.
Students who receive F.E.R.A.
work must be registered in the
University of Oregon at Eugene
for not less than ten hours of class
work during the term.
The employment has been dis
tributed evenly between men and
women students.
Further announcements con
cerning employment on the cam
pus will be made later.
Increase Heavy
On Text Demands
If the supply of cash equals
the demand, prosperity is just
around the ecorner, says M. F. Mc
Clain, manager of the Co-op. The
management anticipated an in
creased demand for books of from
10 to 20 per cent but were in no
way prepared for the unherealded
increase in demand for books of
40 per cent over last year.
McClain says he hopes the sales
equal the present demand because
orders are pouring in fast for the
texts. He expects to be able to fill
all but a few of the orders by the
end of the week. Most of the or
ders are being filled at San Fran
cisco but a few had to be put
through to Chicago and New York.

Revival of Old
Oregon Spirit
To be Planned
Modern Rooting Section
; Object of Committed
Lids to Be Issued
Rallies in Portland Before
O.S.C. and Washington
Games Promised
Accompanying a drive to put
Oregon on the map in big league
football going on from the gradu
ate manager’s and coach’s offices
is beginning a similar campaign
this year to revive the old Oregon
spirit, conducted through a rally
(Committee appointed by Joe Ren
ner, president of the associated
students, and Eddie Vail, yell king.
* One of the outstanding points of
the new committee’s program is
the organization of a modernized
and thoroughly up-to-date rooting
Section. The foundation of such a
Section was laid last year at the
Oregon • State football game in
Portland when several hundred
inen blossomed out in bright root
er’s lids and yellow neckties. Eddie
Veil hopes to bring the Oregon
eheerers up to a par with such
schools as Stanford and U.S.C.
Hooters to Meet
Special meetings of a cheering
section which will contain 700 men
are being planned and will be an
nounced later. At these times new
songs and yells will be practiced.
Stunts and card tricks of all va
rieties are being worked out by
the committee in cooperation with
the cheer leader. Rooters' lids will
be issued again this year as last,
but only to men who turn out for
the section.
A huge rally in Portland pre
ceding the Washington game as
well as the Oregon State game is
being worked out and will be in
cluded in the rally committee’s
program.
Improved spirit and revival of
old tradition on the campus will
also be striven for by the commit
tee.
Cooperation Urged
All students will be urged to
give their best cooperation in the
matter. Men in living organiza
tions will get in touch with the
rally man in their particular group.
Co-chairmen of the committee
are Ralph Schomp and Jim Em
mett. Other members who have
been appointed are Robert Chilton,
Craig Finley, Bob Zurcher, Grant
Thuemmel, Jack Granger, Pete
Brooks, Norman Lauritz, Don
Thomas, Bob Helliwell, Lester
Goldschmidt, and Fred Whittlesey.
Further appointments will be an
nounced later.
Professor Bowen
Home From Trip
Professor R. P. Bowen of the
Romance languages department
has recently returned from a trip
around the world following his
leave of absence last January.
While in Japan Professor Bowen
visited Professor and Mrs. A. R.
Moore at Sendai. Mr. Moore is vis
iting professor of biology at Sen
dai.
Other points of interest visited
enroute were Manila, Singapore,
Hongkong and Ceylon. Two weeks
were spent traveling through In
dia and Bombay.
Before returning to the United
States, Professor . Bowen traveled
through Egypt, Italy, Greece,
France, and Ireland.
Business in Far East
Very Good, Hoyt Says
"Business in the Far East, espe
cially Japan, is booming,” is the
conclusion drawn by Dean Hoyt
after his two months trip to Japan,
China, and Manchuria this sum
mer.
Mr. H. V. Hoyt, accompanied by
Mrs. Hoyt, Miss Brownell Frasier,
art major; Donald Burke, law; and
William Barker, journalism, visit
ed various business houses, firms,
consuls, and experimenting sta
tions in the east. '
During his trip he met four for
mer Oregon Japanese students,
who are in business in Japan and
Vernon Genn, former Eugene boy,
who is now working for General
Motors in Japan.
Dean Hoyt also visited the Orient
last year.
75 Per Cent of Students Buy
A.S.U.O. Membership Cards
“I am most pleased with the
have responded to the optional
manner in which Oregon students
purchasing of student body cards,”
stated Hugh Rosson, graduate
manager of the University yester
day. “Approximately 75 per cent
of all the students who have reg
istered this fall have purchased
cards.”
According to Rosson, he is ex
pecting an additional 5 per cent
of those who have registered to
buy cards during the next week
before the Washington game. The
fine showing which has been made
has entirely dispelled any fears
which the office of the graduate
managers might have felt during
the campaign, and enables the
graduate manager to work with
much more assurance in his ar
rangements for major and minor
sports, debates, concerts, and all
campus activities.
The reseponse which has been
made by students is believed by
campaign managers to be due to
the great saving which may be
had by students who plan to par
ticipate in any campus functions.
That free admission to football
games may be obtained is in itself
a valuable feature of student body
membership. Other assets to be
gained are the rights to vote, to
hold office, to receive daily a copy
of the Emerald, the privilege of
working on both the Emerald and
the Oregana, and numerous other
student activities.
Rosson announced yesterday that
the world-famous Don Cossack
chorus has been engaged for the
evening of October 26. The Frosh
Rook game will be played on the
afternoon of the same day. Both
these outstanding attractions are
offered to those who have pur
chased student body cards.
Psychology Head
Accepts Position
At Indiana School
Dr. Boyer Praises Work
Of Professor Condon
While at Oregon
Dr. Edmund S. Conklin, eminent
psychologist, professor and author,
who is the head of the psychology
department of the University of
Oregon and who has been a pro
fessor here since 1911, has ac
cepted a position as head of the
psychology department at the Uni
versity of Indiana, it was an
nounced here recently.
The department of psychology
of the University of Indiana, from
which many prominent psycholo
gists have been graduated,- is one
of the oldest, and at present
among the most active in the
United States. Although the sci
ence of psychology is but as yet
in its infancy, it has made rapid
progress in the development and
classification of its work. Dr.
Ccnklin has been instrumental in
this drive, and his efforts are be
ing recognized with the offer of
this position. Dr. Conklin will be
in charge of a staff of eight men,
all noted for their contributions
in psychology. The president of
Indiana university, William L.
Bryan, is also a psychologist of
note.
“The position offered Dr. Conk
lin at Indiana is a recognition of
his marked ability as a psycholo
gist and educator," Dr. Boyer,
University president, said recently.
"While we hate to see him leave
our campus this year we are glad
that an Oregon man has been se
lected for what is one of the most
coveted positions in education to
day— the headship of this noted
department, since it is also a re
flection of the the fine type of
work that is offered here.”
Dr. Conklin has been received
remarkably well here by students
in his classes. His pedagogical
methods, his acuteness of mind,
and his grasp of the subject of
psychology, have given him a re
membered position by his students
and acquaintances.
Dr. Conklin is the author of two
widely recognized text-books on

Planned Library, Infirmary
Receive Federal Approved
The new University library and
infirmary are still in the offing,
but are somewhat nearer actuality,
Judging from the statement of
Chancellor W. J. Kerr, who said
yesterday that the building and fi
nancing plans had been approved
by the federal government.
The preliminary plans, filed
some months ago with the PWA
office in Washington, D. C., which
has charge of the project, were
adjusted to meet governmental re
quirements, during the first of the
summer; and the buildings are
now only awaiting the allotment
of funds.
Just how soon money will be
available fr*m Washington for the
construction projects, which are
approved but not yet allotted, is
not certain. Chancellor Kerr stated
that both he and Portland of*
ficlals have been urging that the
building be started this fall, before
the cold season begins, but no in*
formation concerning a possible
date has been received,
Plans for the two buildings were
passed by the board of higher edu
cation over a year ago, and the
preliminary specifications were
completed a little later. The Port
land PWA office has been urging
that money be approved for the
buildings for some time, but it w*s
not until this summer that the
plans were definitely approved. At
that time Chancellor Kerr waa of
ficially advised that the projects
“were la the clear," and that con
struction would begin as sooh as
sufficient funds were available.
