Blue Chip Poker
Mr. Mooney Again
Naval Supervision
"IVUNCHALANTLY holding a
^ good share of the blue chips
in one of the world’s greatest pok
er games, sit the New Dealers.
Flanked by Great Britain, Ger
many, and France, the United
States is making capital out of
lack of capital. The rules of the
game are pretty uniform. Aspir
ing nations buy gold in a mono
metallic race, silver also in a bi
metallic game, boost commodity
prices by juggling metallic propor
tions of the monetary standard,
then attempt to unload the metal
at a higher rate.
The Budget Balanced
In this manner Washington will
come remarkably close to doing the
impossible this year, i. e., balanc
ing the budget. For gold bullion
and coin which citizens gave over
to Uncle Sam, Washington returned
a 59-cent dollar, giving gold-hold
ers a 41-cent theoretical loss on
the dollar.
Whose “Dole”?
Alert New Dealers have already
announced plans for the distribu
tion of five billion dollars next
year through construction and re
habilitation projects, stensible
goal: to take millions of hungry
citizens off the “dole.” Plan: to
support them on government pro
jects. Most of this money will
come, not out of the government's
pocketbook, but from the “inflat
ed” dollar.
Gold Gone
Until domestic prices feel the
inflationary urge, from which they
have received little impetus as yet,
greatest burden will rest on for
eign investments, export trade. To
protect this commerce, last week
the treasury department an
nounced the “disappearance” of
$42,000,000 in gold. Probable pur
pose for which this fortune was
used was in supporting the dollar,
keeping it from sinking low enough
to endanger America’s foreign
trade.
All very mysterious, however,
was the treasury department, as
to the disposal of the gold. As
sured, however, were American
taxpayers that it had not gone
down as a loss in the New Deal
ers poker game.
npHOMAS MOONEY, skeleton in
< California's legal cellar, has
filed another demand looking to
ward his release from prison. In
a 78-page printed request to file
a writ of habeas corpus, Mooney
is raking up the coals of the old
affair, long a shibboleth for advo
cates of justice the world over.
A Political Move
No doubt is there that Mooney
believes that if he gets sufficiently
in the limelight now, whether mo
mentarily successful or not, it will

Homecoming
Committee To
Add Members
Other Appointments Are
Pending
Plans Considered
Advertising Curtailment to
Give More Time
To Parade
Additonal appointmnts of chair
men for Homecoming were an
nounced last night by Arne Lind
gren, general chairman. The new
chairmen are Gil Wellington, ac
commodations; Ed Pinney, decora
tion; Peggy Chessman, reception;
Newton Stearns, publicity; Betty
Ohlemiller, secretary.
Chairmen for the luncheon and
rally parade will be announced lat
er, according to Lindgren. Keith
Wilson was selected by Joe Ren
ner, A.S.U.O. president, for dance
chairman and is working out plans
for the Homecoming dance.
While the exact nature of the
dance has not yet been made pub
lic by the chairman, it is expected
to be something a bit different
from usual Homecoming dances.
FevV Posters Needed
It is doubtful whether Home
coming signs or posters will be
made, as it has been found that
the expense is hardly justifiable,
in the opinion of those who handled
that aspect of Homecoming last
year. The elimination of signs
will enable living organizations to
devote more time to care of the
preparation of decorative floats to
enter in the rally parade. It has
been demonstrated that this type
of rally parade is more effective
than the old noise affairs of pre
vious years.
Bonfire Considered
The possibility of a Frosh bon
fire is under discussion but at pres
ent it is not known for a certainty
just what may be expected. Skin
ner’s butte and Reinhart field are
favorable locations.
With the selection of the chair
men for luncheon and rally parade,
expected by tomorrow, all officers
will have been assigned to their
posts and plans are expected to
progress rapidly toward culmina
tion.
Deans of Women Will
Attend Tea in Portland
Dean Hazel Schwering and Mrs.
Alice Macduff are leaving for
Portland Friday to attend a tea
in honor of Freshman Women's
Mothers at the home of Mrs. Wal
ter Cook.
Mrs. Schwering will be in the
receiving line.
Excellent Rendition of Songs
Characterizes Don Cossacks
Only once in the proverbial “blue
moon" does one have opportunity
like the one to which University
students and Eugene residents will
be treated this Friday evening
when the Don Cossack chorus,
conducted by the famous Serge
Jaroff, appears in McArthur court.
It is impossible to overestimate
the performance of the well known
Don Cossacks. Their powerful, yet
sympathetic renditions of folk mel
odies of Russia have held enthu
siastic audiences all over the
world, and their love of Russia, de
spite the fact that they are exiles,
echoes continually through their
songs.
This chorus is made up of a part
of the late Czar’s body guard, con
sisting of men all more than six
feet in height. They were called
“Kubantsui," from the fact that
they hailed from the territory oi
the Kuban. The Don Cossacks, so
named from that particular terri
tory that spreads through the Dor
basin southward to the Sea of
Azoff, made up one of the unit:
of General Wrangel's White Army
With its defeat, they were Laken
prisoners and later dispersed as
refugees to various European gov
ernments.
The present members of the
Don Cossack chours were among
those sent to Bulgaria. During
their internment in the prison
camp, they had formed a small
chorus under the leadership of a
young officer, Serge Jaroff. With
their transport to Bulgaria, they
continued their chorus work,
though under trying circumstanc
es. Gradually their fame spread
abroad, and their singing of the
ritual in the Russian Embassy
church in Sofia drew crowds to
hear them.
The Don Cossacks now form a
part of that pathetic band of peo
ple to whom the League of Nations
has issued "Nansen” passports. No
mention is made of nationality in
these passports, just the words
“en Voyage” are written in.
Members of the A. S. U. O. will
be admitted to the concert free of
charge, while reserved seats may
still be had by others who are
planning to attend. Orders are be
ing received by the A. S. U. O.
offices in the Igloo.

Board May Ask
For Diverted
Millage Funds
Kerr, Boyer and Peavy
To Draft Resolution
Irvine, LI rges [Action
Final Sanction Will Come
Before Presentation
To Legislature
PORTLAND, Oct. 22—(AP) —
The state board of higher educa
tion probably will ask restoration
of $508,000 millage funds diverted
by the last legislature, it was in
dicated at the board's meeting
here today.
On the motion of B. F. Irvine,
the board voted that presidents
C. V. Boyer of the University of
Oregon and George W. Peavy of
Oregon State college, Chancellor
Kerr and the director ol elemen
tary teacher training prepare a
resolution on that matter, to be
presented to the next legislature.
Final Action Pending
The resolution, to state the
plight of the schools, is to be pre
sented for final action at tha
board’s meeting here November
12.
Irvine urged that the board
“make known the true conditions’’
to the legislature and demand the
return of the $508,000 which was
used to ease the general fund def
icit.
Powers of the presidents of the
University and State College were
clarified and increased with adop
tion of by-laws revisions pending
three months. Irvine, chairman of
the board’s special committee on
rules and by-laws, cast the dis
senting ballot.
Debt Payments IVfet
The board also voted to pay the
United States National bank of
Portland the $14,487.69 indebted
ness of the associated students of
the University of Oregon on Mc
Arthur court, basketball pavilion.
The money was due October 16,
and the board would save $299.25
linterest by paying now, E. C.
Sammons, chairman of the finance
committee said. The board will be
repaid in three installments this
school year from proceeds of tha
$5 building fee paid by students.
Board Held Liable
The board also advanced tem
porarily to the memorial union
board at the State College $4,932
to meet bond obligations due Oc
tober 15, the money to be repaid
out of student building fees col
lected during the fall and winter
terms.
Under the new optional student
body fee payment system at the
schools, the state board has been
held liable by the state attorney
general for debts for the asso
ciated student organizations.
Villard Assures U.O. Alumni
Of Interest in Campus Affairs
"I assure you that as long as I
live nothing can happen at the
University of Oregon that will not
concern me."
This was contained in a speech
delivered by Oswald Garrison Vil
lard, editor of The Nation, when
he spoke before the New York al
umni of the University at their
Founders’ Day banquet in that city
recently, writes Janet Young Fin
ley, a former University of Oregon
student, in a special to the Ore
gonian.
Villard's father, the late Henry
Villard, has become known to al
umni as the "savior of the Univer
sity.”
Of his father's relations with
the University, the editor said, "It
is a subject dear to my heart, and
I was immensely moved to discover
in Eugene last spring how greet}
my father’s memory was. The
University of Oregon has remem
bered where others have forgotten,
the part played by Henry Villard
in the early histories of two north
western schools.
"Because of Eugene’s gratitude
and the spirit of the University,
my feeling of inheritance and shar
ing in his affection for that school
is all the stronger. No words of
praise given me could touch or af
fect me as much as appreciation
of my father, whom I admired
above everyone.”
In his talk Mr. Villard took a
definite stand with faculty repre
sentation on boards of trustees and
scored political influence in educa
tion.
“Everywhere,” declared the fam
ous editor, “political control is
tightening and these liberties—
freedom of speech and freedom of
thought—are now being violated.
We are in danger of throwing over
board, because of economic suf
fering, the things that should be
dearest to American people.
"Universities everywhere are a
guarantee of freedom of speech
and thought. I don't care if they
are small if only they attain great
ness of spirit and foster freedom
of thought. They should be labor
atories in which problems of our
nation can be worked out, and they
should be sanctuaries of men,
carefully chosen, but once chosen
to give absolute freedom to teach
truth.”
