1SIRA Compromise
The Funeral March
Ci^OLLECTIVE bargaining,” as
A incorporated in President
Roosevelt’s NIRA, is a strange and
ambiguous term. Laborers are giv
en the right to “organize and con
duct collective bargaining with
employers through representatives
of their own choosing.” Yes, say
NRA critics, but what does this
mean? Is it to be interpreted, as
labor has undoubtedly read it, as a
carte blanche for demands of high
er than code wages and exorbitant
concessions on the part of the la
bor interests ?
Labor’s Carte Blanche
With the term “collective bar
gaining" thrust into the code with
no coherent definition of limitation,
unscrupulous anti - governmental
forces have gained a new tool for
the creation of disturbances. The
late war of San Francisco, the De
troit and Kohler disturbances, and
finally the widespread strike of
textile workers, has brought the
issue squarely up to the New Deal
ers. Relations between capital and
labor are not adjusted to any com
patible arrangement. Many claim,
of course, and with a great deal of
truth, that they will never reach
a compatible rapprochement as long
as the present system and the
present divergence of ultimate ends
is in effect.
Temporary Compromise
It is the view of the president,
however, that some temporary
working conditions can be effected.
The creation of the National La
bor Board was an advance, but
the exigencies arising through la
bor troubles should have been pro
vided for long before. Further
more, Washington is still facing
the problem with an unfortunate
point of view.
Conciliation ?
Under the present set-up the
president must conciliate capital
with the eventual economic recov
ery of the nation in mind. How
ever, Mr. Roosevelt was put in of
fice, not by capital, but by the
voice of labor and small enterprise,
and he must discharge his obliga
tion to his constituents. It must
be very obvious to everyone by
now, that Mr. Roosevelt’s program
may end up by being disclaimed
by both labor and capital, essen
tially because of its temporary and
transitional stage.

Art School Displays Variety
Of Early American Antiques
Out in the far west “pioneer
relics” to date have held the in
terest of citizens, occupying the
place accorded to “antiques” in
the eastern sections of the coun
try. During the past few days
University of Oregon students have
been intrigued into an apprecia
tion of early American relics by
a collection loaned the school of
art by Mrs. Mary Hudson of Eu
gene.
The collection includes a wide
range of antiques, from Old Eng
lish china to elaborate clothing and
jewelry. The china is the charm
ing Chilsia, mulberry design, lus
ter finish, and was once owned by
Mrs. Hudson’s grandmother, Lydia
Miller Grippen, who moved with it
from Onida county, New York, to
Winnegago county in Illinois via
the Erie canal, back in the days
before there was a city of Chicago.
A “hob-nail” pitcher, a blue
earthen drain for meat platters
over 100 years old, vases and early
American plates are also included
in the collection.
Fabrics include a scarf woven
by Mrs. Grippen from wool of her
own sheep, dyed with household
dyes; a Gody’s large hoop style
wedding gown of 1848; a hand em
broidered cotton wedding gown
worn by Mrs. Hudson’s grandmoth
er, Phoda Miller, in 1829; a Broche
double shawl more than 100 years
old; a large white silk shawl,
thought to be an importation from
China before the Civil war, and
old real lace collar and cuffs.
An atmosphere of history sur
rounds many of the antiques. One
of the dresses is a hand sewn wed
ding gown, worn by Nancy Grip
pen Herring in 1854. Later this
bride and her husband sat on the
platform with Abraham Lincoln,
during his famous debate with
Stephen A. Douglas at Freeport,
Illinois. Mr. Herring, a Quaker,
was also the keeper of one of the
famous ‘‘underground railroad”
during the Civil war.
Of particular interest is a gold
enamel watch and solid gold chain,
the gift of Granville Herring, un
cle of Mrs. Hudson, to his bride in
1854. Mr. Herring was a member
of the “Rochford Watch Com
pany.”
The collection was loaned to the
art department primarily for the
use in classes in interior design
under the direction of Miss Maude
Kerns, assistant professor of nor
mal arts. Miss Kerns will be glac
to show the exhibit to anyone in
terested. They are located in th<
art school building.
Dean Schwerin"
Condemns Walk
Out in Sororities
Privileges to Be Denied
All Houses Breaking
Freshman Rides
Dean Hazel P. Schwering decis
ively ruled out the well known
“walk-out" among sorority pledges
at a special meeting for pledge
presidents and pledge trainers yes
terday noon. "The idea of walk
outs ■ is more serious than the
freshmen apparently realize,”
stated Mrs. Schwering, "and opens
them to severe punishment."
Jo Waffle, head of houses, and
Katherine Coleman, president of
the A. W. S., spoke, and supported
Mrs. Schwering in her stand. They
both stated that since it was def
initely against campus rulings for
sorority pledges to walk out with
fraternities, they would pledge
their support to see that the ruling
was carried out.
Heavy penalties such as denial
of all privileges, campus honorar
ies, and offices are to be levied on
houses who insist upon breaking
the rule, according to the dean.
Teachers to End
Campus Session
Forty-two applicants for teach
ing positions under the educational
relief program of the federal gov
ernment will today finish the
three-day training conference be
ing held in Friendly hall. The
group consists of representatives
from the west central Oregon
counties: Lane, Benton, Crook,
Deschutes, Lincoln, and Linn.
Twenty-two in the training ses
sion are from Lane county.
Reports from three committees
tomorrow afternoon will end the
training conference. The three
committees are tl) general duties
of a teacher in the emergency ed
ucation program, (2) aims and ob
jectives of the emergency educa
tion program, and (3) summary of
the tiaining conference.
The classes to be conducted un
der the FERA program will be or
ganized next week when the teach
ers will have been selected from
the group. Ordinary classes will
average from 15 to 20 members.
The minimum in a class will be
ten.
Teachers for classes on the cam
pus will be chosen by H. R. Gould,
superintendent of the city schools.
The classes here will be devoted to
training in vocational education,
general adult education, and class
es for adult illiterates.
Wodeliouse Play
To Be Presented
"Leave It to Psmith,” a nonsensi
cal farce by P. G. Wodehouse, is
the name of a play which has been
selected by Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt
for the first production of her dra
matics classes.
This light, romantic comedy
deals with a likeable young Eng
lishman, Freddie, who finds it nec
essary to steal some of his own
family jewels in order to marry
the girl he loves. He appeals to
Psmith to aid him in his venture,
but complications arise when some
genuine thieves start to give him
j competition.
I "This play has no purpose other
than to amuse,” stated Mrs. Sey
bolt. "It is to be just a joyous, en
tertainment production.”
The completed cast will be an
nounced the first of next week.
Rehearsals have already begun for
various scenes in which the cast
has been selected. According to
present plans the play will be pre
sented about the middle of Novem
ber.

Numbers in English Prove
Favorites at Vocal Recital
By J. A. NEWTON
One disadvantage which a
teacher of music faces in recital ap
pearance is that he does not have
the time that a concert artist has
to prepare programs, nor has he
the advantage of appearing fairly
often before audiences.
Roy Bryson, baritone, who pre
sented the second recital of the
term at the music auditorium last
night before a comparativly large
audience, has this difficulty to con
tend with.
There is no doubt that he would
be an excellent singer had he more
time at his disposal.
This conclusion is obvious, since
his final group, sung when his
voice had “warmed up" so to speak,
and when he had begun to get the
feel of his audience was by far the
most effective on the program.
It must be considered also that
this last group was in English,
thus adding dramatic or emotional
interest to melodic and expressive
interest.
If any single selection were tc
be named as standing out, it would
j be “The Pauper's Drive" by Homer,
j the next to the last number on the
j program. Not only did it have all
i the elements just named above
but Bryson injected into it a deep
understanding which contributed
no small part to its effectiveness.
Another selection which last
night's audience appreciated was
the Russian "Song of the Volga
Boatmen.” The number is, in the
first place, very popidar. It con
tains the popular conception oi
Russian atmosphere and conjures
a picturesque vision by the device
of beginning in the distance, draw
ing close, and then fading away
again.
This same musical procedure is
used in “Hospodi Pommilui,” a
favorite with listeners at polypho
nic choir recitals.
Bryson gave one encore, “Money
Oh,” a repitition from the program.
Mrs. Bryson accompanied the
soloist.

Sueeessor Within
Few Days
The position of economic ad
visor for the civil service com
mission of the United States gov
ernment. has been accepted by
John M. Rae, associate professor
of business administration at the
University of Oregon, it was an
nounced here yesterday. Rae has
been granted a leave of absence
from the University, and will leave
within the next wek for Washing
ton D. C., where he will make his
headquarters.
Duties of his new position in
clude examination and interview
ing all candidates for positions with
the government in which a knowl
edge of economics and business
administration is a prerequisite.
The government civil service main
tains examiners for each field of
service.
Complete Army Service
Rae came to the University from
Harvard graduate school of busi
ness administration in 1928. He
was recently selected by the Unite 1
States army to take charge of the
office headquarters of the Civilian
Conservation Corps unit at Med
ford, and has just completed six
months of active duty there. He
holds the rank of captain in the
organized reserve of the army.
After graduating from the Uni
versity of Wisconsin in 1923, Rae
taught for a time, and then went
to Harvard, where he earned the
degree of master of business ad
ministration. He was brought here
in 1928 by David Faville, then
dean of the school of business ad
ministration, also from Harvard.
At that time there were four other
experts from Harvard teaching
here, all of whom have since gone
on to other positions. They were
Daniel Gage, George Robbins,
James T. Brown and Earl Moser.
To Live in Washington
Mr. Rae holds membership in
Alpha Delta Sigma, national ad
vertising fraternity; Pi Kappa
Delta, busines fraternity; Pi Kappa
Alpha, social fraternity; Scabbard
and Blade, military fraternity, and
is a member of the Harvard Re
view board.
Mr. Rae will be acompanied east
by his family, and will reside in
Washington.
Before receiving an offer for
the position government officials
made a thorough investigation of
Mr. Rae’s qualifications. Mr. Fa
ville, now on the faculty of Stan
ford university, was interviewed,
as were others who were familiar
with Mr. Rae’s ability, and after
this investigation, the offer was
made. The appointment of Rae is
regarded as a recognition of his
standing in the field of business
administration and economics by
his colleagues on the campus.
A successor to Rae is expected
to be named by H. V. Hoyt, dean of
the school of business, and Dr. C.
V. Boyer, University president,
within a few days.

Upward Business Trend Is
Shown by Increase
In Book Sales
The University co-op will here
after close at noon on Saturdays,
it was determined at a meeting of
the co-op board of directors early

ball games and week-end activities.
The board heard the store's
manager give a semi-official re
port on business. He said that sales
had increased 30 per cent over
the first four weeks in 1933. This
shows a gain of 10 per cent in the
purchasing power of the students.
Orval Thompson, president of the
board, stated that the business out
look of the co-op for the coming
year is “quite good.”
The board consists of two deans,

Oregana Sales
To Be Started
By Next Week
Entirely New Layout to
Feature Yearbook
Theme Modern Art
Photographs of Statuary
Will Be Taken by
Eyler Brown
More than two months ahead of
schedule, Barney Clark, editor of
the Oregana, announced yesterday
that sales on the book would start
next week. “A host of new feat
ures are being introduced in the
book, which, coupled with artistic
and technical perfection, will make
this year's Oregana one of the
most outstanding ever published,”
asserted the editor.
One of the chief features of the
layout of the book, according to
Clark, is that it is strikingly un
usual, not to be duplicated in any
college yearbook. Part of the art
work is completed and will be
shown to students during the sales
campaign so that they may have
actual proof that this annual will
be different.
Typography New
The art work is modeled on the
extremely smart and advanced
special typographical work now
appearing in Germany. It has a
theme never used before in any
college annual. The art work it
self is statuary, modern figures
without features or details, fin
ished in smooth planes and round
ed surfaces. The effect is achieved
with glazed porcelain, and while
the art work to be shown to stu
dents is a sample of the main idea,
it is only a rough sketch of what
the actual work in the book will
be.
Eyler Brown, a member of the
art department, will take all pho
tographs of art work. Mr. Brown
is well known throughout the state
for his remarkable amateur art
photography.
New Cover Design
A heavy fabricoid cover, the
best to be had in bindings, will be
a part of the Oregana this year,
and will be decorated with a strik
ing feature, to be disclosed later
in the year. The opening section
will be printed in offset, an idea
which has not been used in any
Pacific coast annual. This process
produces a soft, velvety effect that
is highly unique.
Not only is the art work in the
book of particularly high calibre,
this year, says the editor, but ex
cellent material is going into the
book. Two entirely new sections

Trees Left By Old Graduates
Beautify University Campus
When Oregon dads and alumni
return to the campus November 3
for the Homecoming game, Uni
versity students should not get
the mistaken impression that they
are all botanists, should they no
tice these dads and alumni show
ing particular interest in campus
trees.
To the new student or to the
visitor, the campus is a plot of
ground, tastefully and artistical
ly set out with trees and shrubs.
The returning graduate, however,
finds a peculiar interest in the
trees. They have a special signifi
cance to him, many of them having
been placed there by graduating
classes to commemorate the time
when they left the college to en
ter life’s field.
By the aid of a few of the most
interested alumni, and some of the
members of the faculty, a fairly
accurate history of these trees has
been made. Up to that time there
had been no record kept of any
kind.
The first class to complete the
University course was in 1878.
Five members were graduated in
that year and these members
started the custom of planting
trees. Professor Condon, the vet
eran instructor in geology, worked
i up the idea and obtained the tree,
an English laurel. This tree is
still growing, and may be seen
near the west walk leading from
Deady to Villard.
Of the succeeding class little is
known, except that a Japanese ce
dar was left as a memento. This
tree, probably, is the cedar which
stands a little northwest of the
’78 laurel.
In 1880 the University sent a
large class into the “wide, wide
world.” Not for almost fifteen
years did as large a class gradu
ate. And true to its size, it left
a California big tree. Its position
is just west of the cedar of '79.
The tree is somewhat of a disap
pointment, for it is still young,
just barely of age, and has not yet
grown up to its name. The class,
however, has made its influence
felt in the Northwest and the
names of some respected citizens
are found on its rolls.
In 1881 a Port Orford cedar was
left. It is the only class tree south
of Deady hall and grows near the
southwest corner of that hall.
Several, now prominent men,
finished the next year, but there is
nothing on the campus to com
memorate the class. Early in the
last year at college the class set
out a mountain hemlock. This lived
