TUESDAY. OCTOBER 22, 1935 ~ NUMBER 15 Committee May Rehear Connelly Case Spencer Declares Faculty Group Is Ready to Entertain Objectors ‘Anytime’ Gordon M. Connelly's attempts to gain a rehearing before the fac ulty committee on military educa tion were p; an impasse last night. Carlton E. Spencer, chairman of the committee, reportedly has de clared that the faculty group will reconsider the case “any time Con nelly asks for it.” The report came as a surprise to Connelly and his compatriots. Jt was because the committee has refused to recognize his case that support has been sought for what might be a sustained campaign. Connelly said last night he will again petition for a rehearing to day. Whether or not his case will be reconsidered will probably be known tonight. Further Support Sought Meantime further support for this campus objector was -made public. Last week Connelly’s po sition was supported by a resolu tion of the Student Christian coun cil. The newly organized League against War and Fascism referred his case to committee, and is ex pected to lend active support later. This week a telegram from the national committee on militarism ir. education was received by Con nelly offering him full support, and suggesting court action if the school administration should re main adamant. It read: “Your refusal to drill entirely justified. Your rather pragmatic convictions appear to us just as valid as religious con victions which presumably exemp tion committee would honor. Its failure to exempt you makes you victim of obvious discrimination. If suspension results please advise for court action; prospects should be explored promptly. Offhand case looks strong for court action on discrimination grounds. Adverse decision Cali fornia case would not entirely ap ply, for UCLA consistently denied all exemption. Please wire any important new developments col lect.” Although Scabbard and Blade, military honorary, was expected to take some position in the case, it has not acted as yet. Administra tion representatives have refused to comment except to say Connelly will be cut off from the academic credits necessary for a junior cer tificate and graduation. Arthur Derbyshire Makes Visit Here \ Arthur Derbyshire, graduate of the class of 1934 and a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, visit ed at the Phi Sig house over the weekend. Derbyshire was sports correspondent for the Oregon Jour nal while on the campus. His home is at North Bend.

Scholarships Four Oregon Grads Attend Eastern School Four graduates of the Univer sity of Oregon school of business administration, John Economus, Bruce Senders, James Emmett, and Wayne Tyrell are students at the University of New York, where they have been granted scholar ships. Dean Brisko, of the New York university, in a letter to Professor Cornish of the Oregon business school, commented that more stu dents from Oregon have received scholarships than from any other school in the country. The average number awarded to Oregon for the last few years has been four per year. All of the Oregon representa tives at the school are former members of Alpha Kappa Psi, business honorary, and are work ing for their master’s degree in retailing, which they will receive by the end of the year. They spend the morning hours in class work in retailing and devote the afternoons to actual sales training in Loester's, Wannamakers, Hahne’s and other large New York department stores. House Librarians To Meet Today At 4 o’clock this afternoon all librarians of living organizations are asked to meet at Gerlinger hall to see the display of new books which are being offered to house libraries by the University library. The list of books avail able for the coming year will be given to librarians, and may be checked by them. Dr. Rudolf Ernst, professor of English, will report on some of the new books. Miss Bernice Rise, loan librarian, will instruct the li brarians in the way to get the books. Tea will be served. All others interested may attend. George Smith In Guild Play Once more an actor from south ern Oregon has received recogni tion in the University theatre. George Francis Smith, entering as a junior from Ashland normal, fol lows in the footsteps of William Dougherty, Curtis Barnes, Ellen Gayley, Roy Schwartz, Bill Cot tTrell and others. In competitive tryouts held last weekend for roles in “The Queen's Husband,” Smith was selected to play Lord Birten, the foreign min ister. Jewell to Confer With NYA Director Dean Jewell, of the school of education, left Monday afternoon for Portland, where he will work with Paul T. Jackson, state direc tor of National Youth Administra tion. At present they are engaged in formulating a series of diagnostic and prognostic tests, hoping to find out by the results which of the unemployed youth would be best suited by going on to college, and which would be best suited by finding immediate eemployment, without further education. Belief on Cites France’s Position in World Affairs “The soil of France has been in vaded four times during the past century by the same people and we know that we will be obliged to defend our country,” was the opinion of Monsieur Ives Meric de Bellefon, consul general for France at San Francisco, in an interview during his recent visit on the Ore gon campus. Monsieur de Bellefon said that there is no organized peace move ment among French students as there is in this country because of France's strategic geographical location in Europe. “France is a small country bor dered by many nations while the United States is large, has safe borders and is protected by seas.” French youth desires peace but realizes that the geographical sit uation of France discourages it. In explaining France's difficult situation in the present Italo Ethiopian crisis Monsieur de Belle fon said, “Because Italy and Eng land are our friends and have been our allies in the war it is very difficult to be obliged to make a choice.” He remarked that the sit uation was not a vital one as long as it remained purely economic but voiced his fear of what would hap pen should France be forced to express herself politically.

McSwain in a speech made before the Mon day military class, for the ability shown by its rifle team in winning the national trophy for marksman ship and efficiency.

Lonely? Ah, No- McAvoy Finds Chicken Dumplings By LLOYD TUPLING “To the west the cold sun set. In the wilderness stood Arnie Mc Avoy—friendless and alone.” But no—not for long. Neither did he stapd, nor was he alone. For after he was abandoned high in the Cascades by five ma rauding sophomores he slowly, slowly wended his weary way homeward. After wandering for about three miles he was confront ed by a large and hungry dog. McAvoy soon made friends. He positively disclaims any stories concerning his loneliness. He was well occupied. Finally from a farm house be side the road came McAvoy’s sal vation—a farmer’s wife. McAvoy spun his sad and sorrowful tale and the lady’s heart strings were touched. (Anyone having heard McAvoy’s political speeches will remember their heart-rending ap peal). His story touched her so deeply that absolutely without the ■use of campaign cigars the frosh prexy was invited in to dinner—of chicken dumplings. (The kind that mother didn’t use to make.) • As there are no dumpluings left (and the farmer had no daughters) McAvoy decided to return to the campus. The farmer called around to the neighboring farms and dis covered a neighbor who was com ing in for Thursday night’s wrest ling matches. So back he came, as ever—the conquering hero—with a chicken dinner bulging urder the heavy blue shirts whch were so kindly donated by the kidnapping sopho mores.

"Super-Sleuth” Camubell Nabs Loot-Laden Vandals By LEROY MATTINGLY To Oregon the victory. To Idaho, almost, the victory bell. Pouring down from the north to take a football scalp, the Idaho Vandals undismayed by defeat on the football field turned their thoughts to plunder. Opportunity and the desire to take home a token of their conquet made them bold-—they decided to “loot” Ore gon of its victory bell. Diminutive but unsubdued “Sherlock” Campbell and his band of trusty sleuths, otherwise known as the Oregon rally (committee, were on the job, however. The bell did not appear on the field. Al though Oregon shellaced Idaho, the victory bell did not peal out. When Super-sleuth Campbell sent two rally lads up to McAr thur court after the bell, they re ported that it was gone. Discovery that the bell was missing shocked them into violent mental action. Campbell and his trusty mates soon arrived at the logical conclu sion that one of two things had happened: a, the bell was gone; b, it wasn’t around any more. Hugh Rosson, graduate mana ger, rushed to the aid of the rally detectives. Rosson planned his attack and took to the wires much as Idaho took to the air during the game earlier in the afternoon. Rosson's attack differed from that of Idaho’s backs in that he had better luck in making connections. As a result of Rosson’s message, the bell was taken from an Idaho trunk in Salem and has been re turned to its place of honor at the Igloo, home from another trip, its first without the guiding care of the Order of the O or the rally committee. The victory bell came to Oregon, not fresh from the mold of a foundry, but from a Portland junk shop. (Please turn to page three)
