VOLUME XXXVII __ __UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. 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.

University Gets
Greatest Number
N.Y. 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.

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.
