VOLUME XXXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1936 NUMBER 65 FEE BILL HANDED SWEEPINB 5 TO 2 DEFEAT Husky Nips Duck For Third Straight Triumph, 42 to 23 Washington's Passing Too Much for Oregon; Loss Sinks Webfoots Deep Into Third Place Nipping the Oregon Webfoots for the third time in a row, the conference - leading Washington Huskies upset pennant hopes of the Hobson men and added another notch in their drive for the title, as they unmercifully piled up a 42 to 23 victory score last night. j The hard-driving men from the j north swept the Lemon-Yellow off their feet with Edmundsen’s famed fast-passing attack. Oregon missed setups, passed wildly, seemed list less, and showed little of the form displayed in their three opening victories here two weeks ago. Ducks Shoved Down Victory for the Huskies left them topping the conference with the Ducks still farther down in third place. The standings are as follows: Tonight at 7:30 the two teams clash again on the Igloo floor while in the north Washington State and Idaho meet. Following the battle tonight the Huskies go to Oregon State Monday and Tuesday of next week to meet the Beavers, always a stumbling block in their path. Between halves last night the three young daughters of Repre sentative and Mrs. Hyde received an ovation from the crowd after put ting on an acrobatic dancing dis play. Washington .

The large crowd started to pour in late in the evening after a- lazy afternoon of attendance. A large number of grammar school children and others who were unable to attend last night are expected to swell the total attendance for the novel affair to well over the 1000 mark, department heads said last night. A geyser, which erupted every few minutes splattering hot water on observers, and talking pictures vied for first place as chief attrac tions of the geology exhibit at the opening of Condon open house yesterday afternoon. Allen Obtains Leave for Trip Other Professors Will Assume Dean’s Duties Dean Eric VV. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, has been granted a leave of absence which will enable him to leave the latter part of March for his trip to the German speaking countries of Europe. He will sail the first of April from New York. Dean Allen's class in investiga tive methods of editing will be taken over by William M. Tug man, managing editor of the Reg ister-Guard and John W. Ander son, managing editor of the Eu gene Morning News. The class will be reduced from five days a week to three and will be concerned largely with editorial writing. George S. Turnbull, professor of journalism, will be acting dean in Dean Allen’s absence. Charles M. Hulten, instructor, will be his as sistant. Reading and conference classes will be handled by the other members of the faculty. Dean Allen plans to make Mun ich his headquarters during his stay in Europe. The trip was made possible by the granting of a $1500 scholarship from the Oberlaender Trust of the Carl Schurz Memorial foundation. Dean Allen will study the “many cultural aspects of the people of the different countries he visits, including, of course, types of journalism and the new German schools of journalism.” The trip will be Dean Allen’s third one to Europe. He has made five extensive trips outside of the United States. He will be accom panied by Mrs. Allen and their youngest son, Bill.

President Bob Vosper gave the welcoming address and Professor Frederic S. Dunn read his paper, "Four-Year-Old in a Two-Eared Jug,’’ which was written in com memoration of the bimillenium of Horace. The new members are: Leland Thielemann, Richard Miller, Worth Chaney, Marcia Tulley, Gladys Burns, Ruth Worden, Irene Clark, Bertha Sheppard, Louise Watson, j Mary Hadley, Velvo Lucas, John Coleman, and Solomon Katz.

Other pictures shown were upon the work of rivers and ground water, volcanoes, plant growth, and but terflies. Special reels were shown to the one hundred grade and high school students who attended the exhibit in the afternoon. ‘‘Peoples and Cultures of the World” show ing queer customs of far away tribes was the contribution of the anthology department. Gasps came from the audience when the blood and milk diet of an aborigine group was described. Lewis H. Hill, spec ial representative from Portland of the Victor Animatograph corpora tion, showed the pictures. Erosion Table Popular An erosion table showing the ef fects of deforestation and the lay ing down of deltas proved popular. The table is built of sand and clay, half covered by moss to represent trees. A water spray acts as rain, washing the bare lands to the sea, to form deltas. The sea is repre sented by a tank at the end of the table. Blowpipe equipment and microscopes used in minerology were displayed and visitors learned how to use them. A skeleton of a saber tooth tiger caused comment as spectators found it more like that of a horse. Semi-precious and precious stones used in the making of drills were displayed. Dr. War ren D. Smith of the geology de partment said that many of these stones were more valuable as drill parts than as jewels. A large chart relating geology to other fields of science was of interest to students visiting the department. Women Like Basketry A stone “slave-killer,” a heavy stone knife, aroused great curiosity among visitors to the anthropology display on the second floor of Con don. The skulls brought shudders from the women who seemed to prefer the collection of Indian basketry. Two buffalo hide par fleches, used by the plain Indians for the storing and carrying of dried pemmican, were examples of Indian decoration. A complete box made of only three pieces of wood was a subject of much attention. The four sides are made of one section of wood bent into a square. The end are sewn together and chalked with pitch. The lid and bottom are separate pieces of wood. The whole box is elaborately decorated with Alaskan Indian designs. A folsom arrow point of the (Please turn to pai/c four) Itchy Neck, Soph?

The vigilantes also called a meeting of the Black Maria for 1 o’clock in the College Side this afternoon. Bryant Urges More Interest In Far East Ex-Naval Officer Says Groups in U. S. Must Understand Soviet Welfare Policy Universal recognition and un derstanding of Soviet Russia's wel fare movements is necessary to in sure world peace, because the growth of the Communist program wrill have more effect on human life than anything since the ad vent of Christianity, Stewart F. Bryant, retired lieutenant-com mander of the U. S. navy, prophe sied in his speech on “Japan and Russia in the World Tomorrow" before students in Gerlinger hall Friday morning. “Russia has put into the mind of the working man the idea that he is the unit quantity of their de velopment, and the more he puts into his work the greater will be the benefits received from the gov ernment. The strife between work ers and the government has been conquered by means of old age se curity, employment, education and cultural development," the retired naval officer pointed out.

September Primary, Water Proposals All Lose in Light Vote; Civil Service Wins By LLOYD TUPLINC Oregon voters cried a decisive “no” to the compulsory student body fee bill at a special election yesterday. Incomplete returns from the state at large, late last night, indicated a 5 to2 defeat. The two per cent state retail sales tax, destined to finance Ore gon's share of President Roose velt’s social security program, was swamped under an overwhelming 5 to 1 vote. A negative vote was indicated on state issues empowering the legislature to set its own rate of pay; and changing the date of the primary election.

Graduate Manager Hugh Rosson would not be quoted last night, but indicated that operations will continue as usual in McArthur court. Other ASUO officials, contacted last night after defeat of the bill was recognized, would not com ment on future plans. Eugene voted the compulsory fee bill down in early returns with 7,034 Yes to 1,334 no.
