Three new plays and an out
standing novel swell the number
of volumes in the rental section of
the University library. Miss Rise,
circulation librarian, reports the
arirval of “Accent on Youth,”
which, as the critics say, has style,
and “White Man” by Samson Ra
phaelson, whose viewpoints are
“urbane and witty,” and “Sailors
of Cattaro,” full of power of truth
and daring, by Friedrich Wolf.
Also, “Three Men on a Horse,” a
three-act comedy by John Cecil
Home and George Abbott, is
among the rentals. The novel is
Sigrid Undset’s “The Longest
Years,” the most personal and re
vealing piece of work of the author
so far. It gives an intimate insight
of the personality of one of the
greatest living writers.

faculty members, townspeople and
house^librarians made a visit to

formal opening yesterday. The li
brary was installed last week as
a result of the traveling library
group meeting conducted by the

ent were given valuable sugges
tions on how to reorganize their
living group by Bruce Johnston,
the hall librarian, and Beryl

Shumaker Finishes
Text Supplement
A mimeopgraphed book supple
menting the text in “Methods of
Study” class has just been com
pleted by Prof. L. H. Shumaker.
The material was compiled ex
pressly for application to the Uni
versity of Oregon and the particu
lar facilities found here.

between Shumaker and M. H.
Douglass, school librarian, to pro
duce 1000 copies of the section of
the book related to the use of the
University libraries. These will be
distributed in the near future.
Band Gets Down to Work;
iS
Cigarettes. Pipes Banned
The University band has got
down to work in earnest. Ask any
body! The girls have come again
and the concert season is getting
under way. Heavy rehearsals are
being conducted by John Stehn
and there's no horse-play tolerat
ed; absolutely none!
The boys, as usual, were enjoy
ing their last minute cigarettes
when John called for order. He
didn’t get it quickly enough so he
called again (and could have been
heard clear to the mill-race). Sup
posing he meant it, the lads piped
down to hetfr any pearls he might
care to cast.
“No more cigarettes—or pipes!
We now have ladies in the band
and they don’t like it!”
Then rehearsal started. All the
heavy numbers in which our A-l
band excels and the gentlemen of
the band, in sportive rnood, not
having enough to do already, be
gan talking and popping around on
their instruments. The results was
very much a personification of
Sherman's four-letter definition of
war.
John got a trifle red about the
neck which should have been a
warning, but wasn't. He retired to
the office and came out with his
little “black book,” and began am
bitiously marking down “5’s" af
ter the names of the offenders.
So now, the University band, not
only being the finest, is being
groomed to become superlative and
the good old high school standards
have been invoked—5 points for
each infraction of discipline taken
from the total term grade.
“Join the band and be happy!'
is now the bandsmen's slogan.
Green Lids
May Appear
Council Plans Hats
As Honor Badges
Green lids worn as a badge of
I honor instead of as a sign of pun
i ishment, may make their appear -
I anee on the campus in the near

j day at three o'clock in the Y hut
j decided to start a new tradition by

Hats Make Class Spirit
It was pointed out at the meet
ing that green hats will allow the
frosh to recognize each other and
| to become acquainted as well as
| giving a chance for better class
| spirit. Members of the council will
contact their fellow freshmen dur
ing this week in an effort to get
the sentiment of the class on the
subject. If it is found that the
majority of the frosh favor wear
ing lids, a supply will be purchased
by the council and sold.
Council members also decided
at the meeting yesterday to offer
their services to members of the
vigilante committee which has
been organized in an effort to keep
order during the homecoming
game with Oregon State. The com
mittee consists of freshmen and
is headed by Bud Burnett.
Barger Attendance Favored
A vote in favor of attendance
at lectures and assemblies was
taken by the group and members
will endeavor to get a larger at
tendance at these meetings.

the council, was appointed person
nel officer to have charge of noti
fying members of meetings.

Extension
Adds Courses
‘Living Writers’
Course Offered
Two new courses have recently
been added to the extension divi
sion of the University of Oregon,
which already offers over 100 cor
respondence courses. Professor S.
Stephenson Smith of the English
department has prepared a course
in “Living Writers,’’ and Professor
Victor P. Morris of the economics
department offers the course,
“Economics of the Recovery Pro
gram.”
According to Miss Mozelle Hair
of the extension division these
courses are planned especially for
teachers' study groups but are also
open to individuals. These two new
courses are the first to be designed
especially for study groups.
Arranged in three sections of
16 assignments each, the "Living
writers” course will center on a
study of literary types as exempli
fied in the work of Englsh writers
of the last thirty years. It will
also include a study of social ideas
expressed in recent drama and
novels and a study of the psycho
logical novel.
Professor Morris’s course will
deal with problems confronting the
world during the last five years.
It will attempt an interpretation
of the moves made during the pe
riod to bring about recovery of eco
nomic conditions.
Two hours credit may be ob
tained from the economic course
and three from the literature
course.
Spanish Club Will
Meet at YW Tonight
“La Corrida de Todos," campus
Spanish club, will meet tonight at
8:30 at the YWCA bungalow. The
program will commemorate the
Mexican “Dia de los Muertos,” or
day of the dead. The rest of the
program will be devoted to sing
ing. All Spanish students and oth
ers are invited to come.
Ballenger Discusses
World Fellowship9 Youth
Prime essentials for world fel
lowship are knowledge of each oth
er and the kind of “soul force”
typified by Ghandi’s non-resistance
to violence philosophy, Professor
Maurice Ballenger tolcl a group
gathered in- the Alumni room of
Gerlinger hall last night.
The speaker, a teacher in In
dia for 15 years and recently re
turned from trips through Italy,
France, Palestine, and England,
declared thkt everywhere the youth
of the country were building a new
world. He deplored the fact that
this world which they seek to cre
ate is a selfish one and is not
based on world fellowship which,
he said, is necessary before the
earth can have peace.
! American youth are “sitting
pretty” Mr. Ballenger declared and
are not particularly worried about
world problems and are not too
interested in establshing a new
era for this country. In time when
they begin to realize that Ameri
ca must take part in the troubles
of the rest of the world, the youth
of America will take charge much
as those of other countries have
done, Professor Ballenger believes.
Professor Ballenger will be on
the Oregon campus for the next
two weeks talking with student
groups on "world fellowship” and
will leave about November 11 for
Seattle and the Puget Sound area.
Decision ‘No’
On Connelly
Group Says Grant
Not Within Authority
In a second and final decision
llie faculty committee on military
education yesterday refused to ex
empt Gordon M. Connelly, sopho
more in journalism, from ROTC
drill. .
The “test" case proved definitely
that the only two bases for exemp
tion by the committee are con
scientious objection and heavy
work schedules. Connelly's attempt
to open a third channel through
which objectors to drill could find
exemption was thwarted after the
faculty committee had considered
his case for over an hour and a
quarter.
The committee’s official state
ment, explaining the refusal, said:
“Mr. Connelly’s second peti
tion presented no new facts in
support of his claim for exemp
tion. To grant Mr. Connelly's
request would amount to malt
ing military training optional,
which is not within this commit
tee’s authority.”
“The problem of compulsory
military training in this Univer
sity can never be settled until it
is settled right, Connelly declared
last night, reiterating his intention
to continue to demand exemption.
He said he would petition the
faculty to recommend either op
tional military trailing, or an ex
emption in his case to the state
board of higher education.
Student Refused Entrance
Opening the hearing yesterday,
the committee was asked to admit
S. Eugene Allen, student, to sit in

Sample of Chairs
For New Library
Now on Display
Standing out distinctly among
its fellow furnishings to the point
of salience, the modern, light
weight aluminum chair is displayed
on the main floor of the library
awaits inspection. It is a sample
of one of several types of chairs
being considered by the library
committee for furnishing the ref
erence and upper division reserve
rooms of the new library.
The chair, submitted by an east
ern company, is exceedingly light,
weighing 8 5-8 pounds, and is cov
ered with a silver DuPont fabric.
Mr. Douglass, head librarian, states
that several chairs will be given
trial, and the one proving most
satisfactory will be chosen.
Bill Gieseke Is Elected

Bill Gieseke was elected fresh

Former Pi Alpha Delta
Chapter to Reorganize
Reorganization of the Williams
chapter of Pi Alpha Delta, legal
honorary dormant in the Univer
sity since world war days, was
confirmed yesterday by members
of the student committee who have
been working since summer for
the revival of the fraternity.
Twelve men will take initiation
rites here Friday.
Cited as a forward step in the
history of the Oregon law school,
reorganization of the local chapter
has gained the support and sanc
tion of law school and University
faculty members. Competition be
tween the newly reorganized Pi
Alpha Delta and Phi Delta Phi,
the other legal honorary here, will
create a more aggressive atmos
phere around student body and
scholastic activities, faculty mem
bers believe.
Those instrumental in reviving
the organization who will be init
iated Friday. November 1, are:
Duncan McKay, Alton Hakanson,
Donald Burke, Edward L. McKeon,
Phillip Hayter, Richard Kriesien,
Keith Wilson, Hale Thompson,
Herman Hendershot, Ray Mize,
Ronald Rew and Arthur Barnett.
Calvin N. Souter, prominent
Portland attorney, will direct the
installation of new members with
the assistance of regional officer
Pomeroy and other lawyers of the
Northwest. Professors Charles G.
Howard and Claude Brown, both
members of the fraternity, have
taken an active part in the reor
ganization and will assist at the
installation.
Pi Alpha Delta was discontinued
here because the size of the stu
dent body did not wararnt the
continuance of two legal honor
aries. Up till the present time var
ious fraternities have petitioned
the law school to organize a chap
ter here. Not until last spring
when the Order of the Coif,
highest legal honorary, was estab
lished was the school open for any
new group.
Under the urging of faculty
members interest was aroused
among a group of law students
interested in organizing a new
fraternity, resulting in the ulti
mate revival of one of Oregon’s
first law societies.
