Oregon Gives Endorsement To New Deal Democrats Make Many Gains at Polls Senate Republican Martin Has 20,000 Lead; Dunne Remains in Third Place By JAMES S. NUTTER Associated Press Staff Writer PORTYAND, Ore., Nov. 7 — (AP)—Returns from the few unre ported precincts further empha sized that the New Deal wedge was firmly driven into Oregon’s state government in yesterday’s general election. For the first time since 1922 Oregon elected a Democratic gov ernor, Major-General Charles H. Martin. His plurality was more than 20,000 over Senator Peter Zimmerman, “fighting progres sive” independent. Trailing more than 7000 votes behind Zimmerman was the Republican candidate, Joe E. Dunne. House Democratic Into office with Martin was swept a distinct majority in the Oregon house of representatives, shattering precedent of 50 years' standing. The state senate re mained predominately Republican, although Democrats gained. Republicans made one gain in the Oregon congressional delega tion as William A. Ekwall won the seat vacated by General Martin to seek the governorship. The other two congressional seats were re tained by James W. Mott, Repub lican, and Walter Pierce, Demo crat. Many Republicans Win Republicans retained other prin cipal state offices such as secre tary of state, which went to Earl Snell by a commanding- majority; superintendent of public instruc tion, retained by a comfortable ma jority by Charles A. Howard, and state commissioner of labor, re tained by C. H. Gram by a slight majority and substantial plurality. Nearly complete unofficial fig ures indicated there will be 37 Democrats and 23 Republicans in the Oregon house of representa tives to facilitate any program the new Democratic governor may wish to forward. However, Repub licans will outnumber Democrats 18 to 12 in the senate, it was indi cated. Buyer of Second-hand Books to Be at Co-op Students will have a chance to get rid of their obsolete textbooks.

Winner of Noble Prize Gone, Forgotten by Oregon Alumni T~> RILLIANT. famous, a winner of $15,000 for his contribution to the world, is forg-otten by his own schoolmates. Twenty years ago Bill Murphy graduated from the University of Oregon and yet the greater part of his associates of those days remember him but faintly, if at all. The proverb, “Everyone remem bers a man when he becomes fam ous” is disproved in this man’s life. Now that Bill has become Dr. Wil liam P. Murphy, of Boston, Mass achusetts, and winner of the Nobel prize for medicine for 1934, he still cannot be recalled to the mem ories of many who graduated in '14 and '15 except as a dim figure in the past. “I have a dim recollection that there was such a man,” and with those words are written the biog raphy of William Parry Murphy, with the Eugene alumni of the University of Oregon as the auth or. And so, Dr. Murphy, one of the three physicians who were awarded the Nobel prize for their victory over pernicious anemia, lives on in the words of his school mates. Bill Murphy seems to have been almost unanimously elected to the ancient club, known as "the name sounds familiar but I can’t place him." Although Bill is forgotten, most of his schoolmates remem ber an Unknown Murphy, who has never been heard of since, but who can be described with the greatest of ease. Although forgotten by his own and following classes, Bill Murphy (Please turn to page 4) Mohan Raj Delivers Speech On India Education Problem \ FTER only eight years in the United States, Mohan V. Raj, much-traveled and talked-about Hindu student at the University of Oregon in his first campus talk on student education displayed his perfect use of the English langu age and knowledge of Indian cus toms at a novelty tea yesterday afternoon sponsored by the Y.W. C.A. World-Fellowship group at Westminster house. “People in the United States cry because they have to go to school,” Raj said. “In India they cry be cause they know they can never have the opportunity. If a father has three sons he wishes to send to school, it costs him $2 for tuition, $1 for books, $1 for train fare, and $6 for boarding a month per son. When a father’s total income is $30 a month and he still has himself, his wife, and two daughters to maintain at home, one can see how difficult an education is to get.” Those of the upper classes who do want an education almost al ways, he stressed, attend foreign universities because the schooling facilities of India are so poor. It is made more understandable, he said, when one realizes that only two per cent of the taxes of India Honorary Plans Trophy Awards For Newspapers Sigma Della Chi Discusses Certificates for Small News Sheets Sigma Delta Chi, men’s national professional journalism fraternity, yesterday discussed awarding the trophy for the Oregon weekly pa per judged best at the Oregon state press conference to convene here the third week in January. Arne G. Rae, field secretary of the Oregon state editorial associa tion, and Robert C. Hall, Univer sity press superintendent, led a discussion about awarding a sec ond trophy to the smaller papers having under 1,000 circulation. The judging would be upon mechanical merits of the entire paper. A committee appointed to de cide on giving a cup and obtaining a donor, or giving certificates to the smaller papers, consists of Bill Phipps, editor of the Emerald; Douglas Polivka, president of Sig ma Delta Chi; and Leslie Stanley, secretary of Sigma Delta Chi. The beginning of next week, pledges will print an entire issue of the Emerald in addition to giv ing their traditional speeches in front of the library. The pledges will be required to wear dress suits and to make very serious speeches about non-serious matters at ten minutes of twelve. Arne G. Rae will speak on the newspaper code, and Guy Shad duck will make further delineations on the journalism conference in Greencastle, Indiana, from which he has recently returned, at the meeting next Wednesday in room 104 Journalism building. DAHLBERG GIVES TALK W. A.

Unaffiliated Members Of ASUO Must Present Tickets for Emeralds ^LL A. S. U. O. members not living in organizations on the campus may secure their Emeralds at the Co-op after 7:45 a. m., it was announced yesterday by Grant Theummel, Emerald business manager. On ly those students presenting student body cards will be giv en an Emerald, stated Theum mel. This arrangement is made necessary because of the impos sibility of delivering individual copies to subscribers living out side of fraternities, sororities and dormitories. are allowed for schooling purposes in contrast to 40 per cent levied by England for war. Perhaps the big gest reason it is so dificult to teach the Indian people is the wide var iation o f customs and dialects. There are over 200 dialects in a territory twice the size of Oregon. In passing from the educational problem, Raj touched lightly on marriage customs and from there to Ghandi with whom he has con versed and whose idiocyncrasies he has studied. Ghandi, according to him, eats for his evening meal only six dates and a cup of goat’s milk This is only one of his sacrifices for India's poor who are born staryiing, live starving, and die starving. Popular misunderstanding of the customs of India as comprehended by the American people are due, according to Raj, to erroneous re ports of American tourists who never really do more than scratch the surface of Indian life. Thus they are inclined to observe and register only that which to them is strange ."As long as I have been in America,’’ he laughed, "I do not feel myself capable of recounting American life as it really is be cause I wras brought up in such a different environment.” Faculty Meeting Explains Military Drill Regulations Sports Chairman of Group Selects Leaders of Sections Regulations under which stu dents may be excused from mili tary drill were clarified at the fac ulty meeting yesterday.

The sales staff will make a special effort to contact every person on the campus. Speakers will visit all the living or ganizations to explain and describe the 1935 Oregana, and to circulate posters. Stearns’ goal is to sell 1,500 copies. Pi Kappa Alpha holds the fra ternity cup for the second consec utive year, and last year the sorority Oregana cup was held by Delta Delta Delta.

McCOSH, wro for the past two years has been an in structor in lithography at the Chi cago Art Institute, arrived in Eu gene last week, and began his work as an instructor of painting and drawing in the University art department Monday. McCosh received his early train ing at the Art Institute. He spent a year studying in Europe on a travel scholarship. In 1929 and 1930 he was an instructor and act ing director of the Davenport mu nicipal art gallery in Davenport, Iowa. In the same year he re ceived the Tiffany foundation scholarship in painting. He spent the summers of 1932 and 1933 with the Stone City, Iowa, art group. McCosh has exhibited his work in New York and Chicago. He spent last summer in New Mexico with his wife, Anne Kutka, who is a well-known New York painter. Mrs. McCosh was the director of the G.R.D. art gallery, sponsored by Mrs. Philip Roosevelt, in New York for five years. She has made two painting trips into old Mexico. Both Mr. and Mrs. McCosh are in terested in Oregon as a painting country and have never before been here. He expressed himself as being impressed by the activities and the setting of the art school, both of which he felt were unusual. He finds the evident use and apprecia tion of the facilities by the students and the fine spirit of the depart ment invigorating. McCosh also said that he noticed the unacadem ic atmosphere in that there was such a consideration of the indi vidual student by the instructors.
