How Much Is $5 »TTOW much does five dollars mean to me?” <•. -Cl That is the question 651 students will ask themselves today when student leaders renew their efforts to show those still without the inner circle just what can he gained by the payment of the optional ASUO membership fee. There will tae the contention that the present term, with its football games, free trip to Portland, and wealth of activi ties, offers more in actual monetary value for the five dollar payment than any other term. Likewise, will there be the plea for non-members to show their interest in student government and activities by the payment of the fee. But so far these argu ments have failed to convince those 651 students to whom they will be directed. Perhaps if these students could be impressed with the probable results of their continued refusal to purchase a student body card, the five dollars necessitated would not take on such magnanimous proportions. If they could but imagine an institution of higher learning without facilities to present em inent lecturers, a University without athletics flr activities, a group of adults within a sovereign country with no means to direct Us local govern ment, there would be no need for further induce ment. Then, perhaps, the question uppermost in the minds of the 651 concerned would not be “How much does five dollars mean to me?” but “How much doos my University mean to me?” Sarajevo Once More? rpHE assassination of King Alexander of Jugo slavia and Louis Bat'lhon, France’s number one foreign adjuster cannot but bo regarded as a symp tom of the precarious pinnacle upon which the Eur opean situation rests. Many critical students will re gard the murder of the dictator and the Gallic for eign minister as a logical, if indubitably Ineffective, expression of the popular resentment against the usurpation of the governmental powers by un scrupulous agents. In this plausible explanation there is no doubt a modicum of truth. There can be no question in the mind of the careful student of political theory that the dictator had made him self highly unpopular with the people, naturally a Slavic race, by his studied alliance with French and alien financial interests. However it would be highly foolish to conclude that the mere physical act of assassination will benefit the Jugoslavians in the least degree. Coup d’etats have quite often been successful in ousting a tyrannical form of government, but such revolution ary measures must be accompanied by a rigid ad herence to constructive planning following the in itial coup. In this instance the plan was to all ap pearances merely a muddled and unhappy gesture to be followed by no apparent constructive meas ures. The assassin lies dead after being mauled by the angry crowd. Anarchy supersedes tyranny. Nevertheless the phase of the Balkan fiasco that cannot be overlooked lies in the immediate danger of the repercussions throughout Europe. The sword ol Damocles hangs over the world and it is not diffi cult to conceive of the dictator Alexander, as another Archduke Ferdinand and of the unknown assassin as another Princrpts. The next few weeks w ill be the ones during which the thickening clouds of doub' and gloom must descend over the troubled Balkans over hate-swept Europe, and over a distrustful world thick with misgiving and foreboding. The Old Oregon Lives Again EMEMBEK the old frog pond in the north •VV we.-.tern corner of the Oregon campus near the intersection of Kincaid and East Eleventh? And how the sophomores used to douse the tro h in it. 1 cold water with startling regularity? That’s right; of course you dou’t. That was a, long tune ago—buck near tUc tigu of the century i Let’s go back to the University of Oregon of some three decades ago with Edison Marshall, ex-’17, as he gives you a vivid and realistic description of life on the Oregon campus in the current issue of Lib erty. Perhaps you have heard your fathers or grand fathers tell of the University when Deady and Vil lard halls were in their virginal architectural glory. Or of the historic tradition of senior men who in variably wore wide-brimmed hats similar to those now worn by forest rangers. Many an old grad will chuckle as he attempts to recall the men of his acquaintance on the campus who were the flesh and blood upon which Marshall has based his fictional characters. Marshall, now one of the foremost figures in American fiction, makes the old Oregon live anew', and even the University we know so well is a carry over from those days of long ago. Even then cords were the exclusive upper-class garb for men, and the Friars club was the crowning' achievement for the senior year. Coming from Marshall’s gifted pen, his story, "The Marquis Plays Poker,” is a tribute to the Uni versity and to the never-dying bond and spirit which enriches the student of this or any other liberal educational institution. Succeeding the Founders T TP in Portland this evening, and in about twenty communities of Oregon, alumni of the University are gathering to do honor to a group of men and women who 58 years ago this month witnessed the first step in the realization of a dream that today is still unfolding itself step by step be fore the people of Oregon. Those men and women were the founders of the University of Oregon. They were those keen, fore sighted men whose fathers had first broken ground in the wildernesses of the Northwest. They were of the generation upon whose shoulders rested the responsibility of building a commonwealth out of the scattered and isolated communities of the state. Just 08 years ago, almost to the day, after great sacrifice and energy on the part of this group of the state’s citizenry, the doors of historic old Deady hall were opened to the youth of the state, and with the opening of those doors was opened the oppor tunity for formal intellectual development and cul tural attainment knctvn today as a University education. And when 20,000 alumni of an institution pause to honor the builders of their alma mater and pledge anew their allegiance and determination to carry on, then one can be sure that those early pioneers did not build in vain. Only when one looks at the positions of trust and responsibility that Oregon alumni hold in all parts of the state and world, does one fully realize the import and significance of those who founded our University. So we say to the alumni of Oregon, on whose shoulders a large part of the responsibility for carrying out that early dream rests, that were the Judge Deadys and the Henry Villards and the Judge Waltons of yesterday alive today, they would be proud of the work they started, and the attain ments so far; and they would be content to know that the future of education in Oregon was safe guarded and assured in your care. A Tip for Freshmen ' I 'HE second week of the term is about the time many a freshman begins to ride for a fall. The first week is a confusion and a scare, hi the second week things seem to clear up; University life takes on a false apearance of simplicity, it seems almost as if it were high school over again. Now is the temptation to see if the old gags won’t work here too, just as they did at old P. H. S. There is more freedom in campus life than there was back home; nevertheless critical eyes are watching. Around the house or the dorm the fresh man is being sized up; on this depends whether lie will later be selected for student positions of lead ership, or will be regarded as just the run of the mine. In the class room also the professor is often not so regular as the high school teachers were in checking up to see whether assigned reading was done. But. beware of him; lie may not be so easy to fool, at that. He’s seen hundreds of freshmen be fore and knows most of the tricks. He may be foxy. The second week is a good time for a freshman to check up on himself; it is the time to decide whether to deliver the real goods, or to gamble on getting by because the game looks easy. Appear ances are deceptive. The PER A Jobs A square peg in a round hole. That too often des ^ tribes the individual who is working under Ur PER A. No one is to blame for those situations in which ft student finds himself not too well qualified for I lie particular task to which he is assigned. Prac-1 tically all work conected with the University calls I tor special attributes or experience, but the moat satisfactory adjustments could not be made in every j instance. The FEKA jobs were created suddenly and tilled less by competition in ability than by con- ! sidorations of financial need. So sometimes the little fellow with soft hands j is wedding a big shovel among the shrubbery, while the young lady who despises the very idea of arith metic is adding up long columns of figures. Karl W. Onihank, dean of personell administra tion. and his assistants have labored long and hard in the short time allotted them to place every PER A student into the kind of work to which he is best adapted, and in most cases good match has been attained. Many students, flung suddenly into unfamiliar kinds ot work, deserve commendation for rapidly developing unexpected abilities. The ’Colonel* Srores es Arnheim came to town. He was accepted! 'J as enthusiastically as Uncle Tom or Little Eva night have been, back in the horse and buggy days. Ills show is good. The applause which he drew ;rom the large crowds attending his performances is sufficient proof of that. Many famous and near-famous bands touring he Pacific' coast have paused to give presentations n Eugene. Most of them, however, have been re varded with only nominal box office receipts. The responsive crowds which greeted -Colonel' •>us and hts cortege of musicians and entertainers s indicative of the University's appreciation of art : itry 14 popular music.

DUNN He fell asleep in h;s armchair, his Greek Testament open on his lap perhaps the profoundest scholar that ever honorsd the Uni versity— Professor Mark Bailey, Sr., of the original faculty. Many times I have heard him in the class-room, on the lecture platform, or in the pulpit, his head probably among the Pleiades he was ex pounding, we meanwhile trillions of miles behind, when he would sometimes pause and, smiling broadly, interject somewhat apolo getically, “But I am afraid you are not following me.” And we knew it. He was at the board one day, tracing some involved theorem with the aid of logarythms, in which I was a confessed dumb-bell, when in a moment of fitful abstrac tion, my fingers involuntarily be gan a tum-tumming on the settee. Instead of turning fiercely upon me, as any ordinary instructor would have done under the stress of annoyance, Professor Bailey kept his face to the wall and, af ter a short pause which chilled me with apprehension, merely said, “Someone is not as interested in this problem as I am.” Years af terward, he was visiting with hie in Salem, where I was a fresh young bearded member on Willam ette's faculty, and his eye lashes were damp with tears when I re called the incident to his mind. Having come to us from the fac ulty of McMinnville college, as Lin fielcl was then known, the little Baptist church and its but little larger successor, on the corner of Eighth and Tight, owned in him its most consistant and constant at tendant. He never missed a ses sion or an opportunity to partici pate, his prayers always ending in an almost startling emphasis on the Sacred Name. In the same way he never failed to attend meetings of the struggling Y. M. C. A., wher ever and at whatsoever time it convened, often awaitng the arriv al of members. How well I can picture that great six-foot frame of his, his peculiar weaving gate in which he rather favored his knees and seemed scarcely to touch his heels, his staccato enunciation that cut his words off with a click of the teeth, his discussions of the Mal thusian theory of population, and the Electoral college, and the south before the war, and binary sys tems, and the mistranslation of the aorist tense in the New Testament. Professor Bailey's last chance to address a body of students was in response to a toast at the Alumni banquet in 1900, in which, bless his heart, for we all knew and forgave him, he seemed to forget all limi tations of time or space. And then, —the long sleep.

Up early to start a fire in < the stove and to eat breakfast, I studied Norwegian until 10 o'clock. From 10 until 5 I cut wood, ex cept for a half hour out for din ner at 2 o'clock. After coffee at 5, a custom as traditional as tea is in England, I busied myself at various chores such as carrying water from the spring and wood from the shed. Tass was leading something worse than a dog’s life in an over-turned rain barrel.

The tri-annual parliamentary election was on, and the returns were broadcast night ly. The final victory of the Labor party over the other three major parties- -the conservative Right, liberal Left, and Farmer—express ed a decided change in public opin ion since the election of 1930, when the conservatives obtained the parliamentary majority. The goal of the labor party is to make Nor way a socialistic state. Its policy is based on the Marxist principles, and has been rejuvenated with co pious injections of Leninism. Though the party now has a ma jority in the Storting', it finds it self fettered by coalitions of the other parties. In the evening when the excite ment of the election returns had abated, Reidar lay on the sofa and snored, Aide busied herself with knitting sweaters and stocking for Christmas presents, and I la bored on my Norwegian. I soon discovered that X had not one lan guage but two to master. Lands maal, or the language of the rural districts, is used much less than Riksmaal, or the language of the cites, therefore I concentrated on the latter. It was a happy day when I found that I could get the i thought from the Norwegian edi tion of Per Gynt. (To be continued) Radio evue By George Y. Bikman We sing the sad tale of a radio man Now mourned by his distant re lations; He went to a powder mill smoking his pipe, And was picked up by twenty three stations. Yesterday, if you were wise, you heard two of radio’s future stars. And as far as we’re concerned that is no mere figure of speech. The boys are puh-lenty good, and what's more, they’re swell fellows to work with. Unassuming and always at ease. Up in the studio they kidded and joked just as they might have, had they been playing for their girl friends. Their names—Buck McGowan — we’re not sure of the spelling — and Chuck French. More power to you fellows. And thanks for a great program! Tomorrow should be a good day to tune in, we believe. Thursday, you remember, is the day for the “This Is News!’’ feature, released by three Emerald reporters. And as we promised, it’s going to be done in a novel style. As a matter of fact, Peggy Chessman is still in the dark about what that novel style can be. All she knows is that she’s going to be on. (How’s to morrow right after lunch—before my one o’clock—at the Shack, Peggy? And that goes for you, Dan E. Clark, Jr., if you’re back from Seattle.) We ask your indulgence for these personal messages, friends. Eut we have a hunch you really enjoy them. You do if you’re like we are; we’re always snooping around our roommate’s mail. As he will testify. Well, at last we're hooked up with, the Columbia Broadcasting system. That is, our column will hereafter contain choice bits of broadcast dope regarding the stars and programs of the great chain. We begin today. Variety shows hold an important place in the fall schedule, just as the Emerald-of-the-air features entertainment of varied nature. At eight on Sunday’s “Open House,” a new series of programs featuring Freddy Martin as maestro, musi cian, and master-of-ceremonies takes the spotlight. Madge Mar ley is the girl soloist, and versa tile specialists from the orchestra include Elmer Feldkamb, baritone; Terry Shand, blues singer; the Martinettes, male trio; and the pi ano team of Russell and Terry. A novel feature of the series gives a break to promising per formers presented as guest stars. Each week a different town is rep resented by a local act or perform er never before heard on a net work. Well, there's your chance, Emerald stars. What do you think, NBC. Aren’t you jealous? Initiation Plans Made By Alpha Delta Sigma Plans for initiation of pledges of Alpha Delta Sigma, advertising fraternity, were made at a short meeting of that organization at College Side, Wednesday noon. Krazy Kopy Krawl, the annual dance of the fraternity, to be held early in the winter term, was also discussed at this meeting. It was decided to hold meetings of the nature of this first meeting every other Wednesday noon. These will continue throughout the entire year, as now planned. ii KAYSERETTE SLEEPERS f Charming feminine styles, trig tailored numbers for lounging and sleeping.

FAVORS HIGHER PRICES Washington, Oct. 10— (AP)— President Roosevelt made it plain today that he feels prices should go higher. Immediately there was speculation as to whether further currency experimentation was planned to bring this about. The only word forthcoming from the White House was that price developments probably would be a determining factor in future mon etary steps. KIDNAPED WOMAN SOUGHT Louisville—Beaten and kidnaped by a man who escaped with her in an automobile, Mrs. Berry V. Stoll, 26, wife of the vice-president of the Stoll Refining company of Louisville, was the subject of a wide search by city and county police tonight. A ransom note was found in the Stoll home, from which Mrs. Stoll was abducted. All that could be immediately learned of its contents was that William Stoll, president of the Louisville board of trade and a brother-in-law of the kidnaped woman, was "next on the list” of the kidnapers. EXTRADITION GRANTED New York — Extradition of Bruno Hauptmann to New Jersey to stand trial for the abduction murder of the Lindbergh baby was ordered at Albany late today by Governor Herbert Lehman. A vigorous defense fight to stave off extradition was in prospect. HEIRESS ‘POOR ORPHAN’ New York—Ten-year-old Gloria Vanderiblt, heires to millions, was treated “substantially” like a “poor orphan” by her mother, it was charged today in testimony during Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt’s court fight for custody of her child. LEGAL LOOPHOLES USED Chicago—The story of efforts to omit a $34,954, 153 write-off from the statements of the Corporation Securities company of Chicago was unfolded today in the mail fraud trial of Samuel Insull and 16 co defendants. A letter inquiring into the legal justification for the omission was added to the heap of the pros ecution’s evidence while Van. La mont, former comptroller of Hal sey, Stuart & co., occupied the wit ness stand. KING FORESAW DEATH Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Oct. 10— (AP)—That King Alexander ap parently feared death on his visit to France was revoaled today as Yugoslav authorities, preparing to bury the dead king and crown his eldest son, Peter, strove to deter mine the nationality and connec tions of his assassin. The dead king’s premonition of death was seen in the fact that one of his last acts before leaving Belgrade was to supervise Oom pletion of themarble sarcophagus in the magnificent family mauso leum at Popolo, the home town of the Karageorgevitch family. A hill 40 miles south of Belgrade is the site of the royal memorial tomb, the most colorful in all Eur ope, in which are interred all mem bers of the late sovereign’s family, including the original Karageorge vitch cr Black George, foe of the Turks and founder of the dynasty. VICTIM EXPECTED TO LIVE Marseille, Fiance, Oct. 10—(AP) —President Albert Lebrun called at Michel Levy hospital at 2:30 p. m., today (9:30 a. m., E.S.T,), to shake hands with General Ai fonse Joseph Georges, wounded when an assassin killed King Al exander of Yugoslovia, and For eign Minister Louis Barthou of France here yesterday. The president wished Georges an early recovery before leaving the hospital. Hospital attaches ex pressed the belief that Georges woul drecover barring unforeseen complications. YOUNG KING JOINS MOTHER Paris, Oct. 10—(AP)—A grief stricken little boy, mourning his royal father whose assassination made him King of Yugoslavia, came secretly to Paris to meet his widowed mother. Throngs jammed Paris’ central station as authorities put on an elaborate show of precautions to cover the entry into Paris of 11 year-old Peter II of Yugoslavia and his grandmother, Dowager Queen Marie of Rumania. Who Cares? By BOB MOORE By BOB MOORE ALL University of Oregon eyes and many thumbs will be pointed towards Portland this week-end. Automobiles, hitch-hik ers, and box cars will pour out of Eugene headed for the state’s me tropolis. The occasion for the sud den pilgrimage is the annual Web foot-Husky football drama. Ere game-time Portland will be a city of glamorous frivolity. Hi larity will be king. The queens (Oregon coeds) will wear ‘mums,’ but that won’t keep them silent. * * * During the spectacular moments in the actual contest, bleacher and grandstand patrons will whoop and shout and stomp their feet. They may even stomp their hands. Someone might go so far as to prankishly tie a freshman to a string of ascending balloons. Announcers will stutter accounts over the ether to the chair-edge sitting listeners. Journalists, in the press box, will click their teeth and their typewriters. Finally the pistol will pop and the game wil be over. Football is indeed vital to Amer ica. It is splendid and essential in placing a comma in the monotony of every day life. * * * But, couldn’t someone, some time, somewhere give a thought, a single thought of sympathy, for the janitor who is handed a broom and given the unromantic task of accumulating empty peanut bags, torn handkerchiefs, and broken fingernails ?
