VOLUME XXXVII UNIVERfc OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1935 NUMBER 7 Jack Campbell Promises Noise, Thrills Friday Broatlway to Be Scene Of Oregon Gathering In California Game; Enthusiasm High A bang-up rally in a theater full of rooting, victory chasing stu dents Friday night at the Broad way theater in Portland is the promise of Jack Campbell, chair man of the Oregon rally commit tee. The combined committee has big plans for the week-end in Port land. In addition to the stage-fare with its screen attraction and huge all-Oregon stunt program and the dance after the game at the Mult nomah hotel the group is planning a worthwhile and unique attrac tion between halves, Campbell said. “There’s been a great change in the Oregon spirit, already, this year,” said Campbell. “Gene Shields, the Oregon line coach, went to California to look over the Bears and after hearing his report, Prink Callison said if our team had the support from the stands they had in the Utah game, Oregon would wallop the Bears.” Campbell urged the 2100 student body members to turn out 100 percent strong at the rally and the game. He said that if every man and woman is there yelling his head off for Oregon, California wouldn’t have a chance.

In spite of this large number of releases the enrollment in the department has gone over the 700 mark, as was expected earlier in the week. Only about 20 per cent of those exempted gave conscientious ob jection as their reason. The re mainder cited work and physical disability. All except two of the cases were taken care of by Col onel E. V. D. Murphy, head of the ROTC. These two case were passed upon by the military exemption committee, headed by Prof. C. Spencer of the law school, at its first meeting yesterday afternoon. One petition was granted and one denied. The latter is the only refusal made this term.

Infirmary Has Full House Plans Being Rnsltetl For New Hospital Unless summer colds and other minor ailments which have been keeping the infirmary running to full capacity since the opening of fall term abate in the near future, it may be necessary to transfer a few cases to down town hospitals. At present 11 of the 13 beds of the infirmary are occupied and more cases are being received than are discharged, according to nurses in charge who were, so they said, “too busy to see reporters.” Meanwhile work is being rushed in plans for the proposed new in firmary in order that they may be forwarded to Washington, D. C., where, it is hoped, a grant may be given for the construction of a new University hospital to replace the present over-crowded building. The new infirmary, provided funds are granted for it, will con tain the most modern up-to-date hospital equipment obtainable and will have at least 26 beds with the possibility of double that number if a third story is added. Present plans call for the new building to be ready for occupancy by the opening of the 1936 fall term. Among those in the infirmary at present is Del Bjork, varsity foot ball tackle, suffering an infected knee but who is almost certain to be released in time for Saturday’s game. Others in the infirmary, most of whom are suffering minor ailments, are Bill Martin, Carson Shumake, George Birnie, Wayne Harbert, Fagette Thompson, Ma luta Head, Frances True, Marian Lucas, Mary E. Beasley, and Beth Glaisyer. Dr. Miller to Teach At Reed, Portland Dr. S. Kerby-Miller, who re ceived his B.A. and M.A. in 'phil osophy from the University, will teach history and philosophy at Reed college in Portland this win ter, and will also teach in the Portland extension division of the University of Oregon.

Spillman, Ger trude Lamb, and Velvo Lucas is being held' at the dean of women’s office, and may be called for there. Students Pack Gerlinger Hall For Assembly Chancellor Hunter, President Boyer Outline Advantages Of College Education Leadership is one of the advan tages of education, Chancellor Frederick M. Hunter told nearly 2,000 students assembled in Ger linger hall yesterday, and asked them to accept the responsibility of leadership in the building of the American democracy. Selectiveness, partially enforced by economic necessity, allows but one in five eligible students to at tend college, yet college graduates, depression statistics indicate, have twice as much chance to succeed as do persons with but an elemen tary school education, the chan cellor said. President C. V. Boyer welcomed the students to the University and took up other aspects of the sub ject of education introduced by Chancellor Hunter. “The purpose of education is to fit men and women to earn a liv ing, to live fully, and to reshape the world in which they live. In other words, vocation, leisure, and citizenship are its objectives,’’ Boyer told the students, adding that “education was concerned with living, not with possessions.’’ "I am no believer in the old theory of uncontrolled individual ism,” Boyer stated, “but a person can take just pride in the success ful and proper conducting of a business, in being able to earn a living.” “Charity is said to begin at home, success begins in a school room,” the president told his audi ence. A lazy, easily distracted stu dent, too weak of will to apply himself, is liable to be unsuccess ful in later life, he warned. A college education serves three main purposes, the speaker de clared. It brings the student in contact with facts on which to base his opinions, it reveals sources of information to him, and enables him to see evidence and .select the truth. Boyer explained the functions of the new lower division advisory system. Because the first two years of college are usually spent floundering about, the new sys tem plus numerous survey and orientation courses, is destined to aid students in finding what sub jects and courses are of interest to them. “The pursuit of knowledge is a great adventure and creates for the student a new world,” Presi dent Boyer said, adding that it also created the need for self-ad vancement, self-development, and greater responsibility. Telling the students that it is their duty as college students to guide the superstitious, credulous and passionate masses, Boyer stated that the influence of the college students was disapportion ate to their numbers. “Will you rise to your oppor tunity and obligation by fitting yourselves?” he asked. “You can (Please turn to page three.) Morris Praises League’s Action in War Crisis “The League of Nations, largely through the efforts of its two most influential members, England and France, is establishing a milestone of momentous importance in world organization,” declared Dr. Victor P. Morris, professor of economics, in an analysis and interpretation of recent news reports, yesterday. “The deplorable death toll of the bloody battles in the Italy-Ethio pian conflict is insignificant in comparison with the fate of the principles of international justice involved,” he said. Dr. Morris declined to make any speculative prediction as to im mediate developments. "But,” he continued, “England and France mean business. I am convinced that they will use every force and influence in their power — even military sanction—to bring Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia to a halt." “This Ethiopian situation pro vides the League of Nations with a perfect test case; the first major one in its history,” he pointed out. “Italy’s excuses for her actions are ridiculously balci. The league has declared her the aggressor, and, under the League covenant, all its members are obligated to impose immediate economic and financial sanctions against Italy. Strict mil itary pressure is ‘recommended.’ If Italy is stopped, the authority of the League will be definitely es tablished.” Continuing his analysis, Dr. Morris explained, “England is, no doubt, eager to modify any of Mussolini’s Napoleonic ambitions to gradually squeeze other pow ers out of the Mediterranean area and to re-establish the old Roman empire. Likewise, France is ex tremely anxious to put teeth into the League of Nations so that she will have a source of protection against her unfriendly neighbors. “Since the Monroe Doctrine keeps the United States out of the (Please turn to page three.)
