Construction on
Big Frosh Fire
To Begin Today
Big Blaze Slated During 1
Parade Friday Niglit;
Dean Earl Advances
Helpful Adviee
Meeting mesaay wiui vugu u
Earl, dean of men, for final in- j
struction and advice, committee
heads of the frosh bonfire decided j
to begin construction and decora-1
tion this afternoon. Dean Earl sug-1
gested more cooperation with the i
fire department and less "all night"
activity.
The material committee, headed
by Harold DeCicco, has finished
gathering materials. The construc
tion committee; now headed by
Howard Percy, Theta Chi, due to
illness of Hugh Collins, chairman
of construction, will begin imme
diate construction of the "O" with
materials obtained.
Dick Makes Appointments
Construction committee appoint
ments by John Dick, freshman
prexy, were Ralph Lafferty and
George Heilig, SAE, Lloyd Hoff
man and Bob Morse, Kappa Sigma,
John Derveille, DU, Bruce Eddy,
Zeta hall, Jack Green, Sigma hall,
Glen Eaton, ATO, James Jarvis,
Theta Chi, and Cyrus McLaughlin,
Delt.
The moment before the Friday
night parade turns onto Willam
ette street, the completed poten
tial bonfire will be fired. Due to
use of burlap bags soaked in crude
oil, the flames will not die as
quickly as previous bonfires.
The Firing Line
(Continued from fatjc three)
when you can score as neatly on
terra firmn as Oregon did in that
last period Saturday. Braddock,
uncrowned king of Webfoot hacks,
was aces on his 60-yard gallop for
the first touchdown. Just how he
evaded those two eager Vandals
who came forth to meet him down
on about their 35 is one nobody
can explain. But “Coco” did it,
and more power to him.
Jimmy Nicholson was almost as
spectacular as he dodged through
a horde of tacklers for the second
score. John Yerby, who looked
okay at end, had just done his good
deed for the afternoon by falling
on onfe of eight Vandal fumbles.
Yerby almost did another good
deed in the end zone in the first
half, but Nicholson’s long pass
evaded his clutches. On the ensu
ing play the Webfoots tried the
same pass, and It took Heaver
Nicholson to cut down Devlin of
the Vandals as he turned the toss
into a boomerang and boomed down
the sidelines. “Nlchellni’s” diagon
al dash across the field and tackle
of Devlin was the prettiest piece
of work the stadium fray had io
offer.

Now that Dizzy Dean has an
nounced that he is a holdout and
has opened his publicity drive by
having a bee sting him in his car
or something, it must be time for
basketball to start. How can one
tell? Well, Dizzy begins his an
nual holdout campaign along about
the midst of football season, and
that's about the time preliminary
basketball starts.
Oh, it's all very complicated and
perhaps a trifle silly, but once a
lad learns how it goes, he catches
on rapidly. And any young gentle
man who desires to catch on 1km -
ard Hobson's varsity basketball
team, unless he is a letterman and
has already caught on, had better
make haste.
All men wishing a basketball
tryout may turn out this week, for
Mentor Hobson is holding drill
each night. Next Monday regular
practice, with lettermen, begins,
and then it’ll be a bit late for the i
unheralded.

some of the Browder votes due to
the fact that some who had chosen
the Communist from Kansas had
also preferred compulsory ROTC,
in inconsistency rarely committed
by any leftist.
Of the 1277 voters 83f> were men
and 385 women, and .ri7 did not in

Radio Charges Aired
The Oregon Liberty associa
tion will hold a general campus
meeting in Oerlinger alumni hall
Thursday evening at 8 o’clock,
Robert Prescott, director of pub
licity for the association, an
nounced last night.
At this meeting, members of
the association offer to substan
tiate all charges made against
the Emerald policies in broad
casts from the College Side dur
ing the Emerald straw voting,
Monday and Tuesday. Don
Thomas will be chairman for the
meeting.
Home of the charges against
the Emerald which were broad
cast follow:
“The Emerald-radical eoali
ition has forced us, owing to its
own policy of abuse, to state
coldly to the public our princi
ple: The Oregon Liberty asso
ciation will fight any left-wing,
radical movement which seeks,
under the guise of holy peace, to
disarm the United States and the
middle class of American citi
zens.
“The Emerald is hoping by
means of its straw vote, to win
students to optional militury
training.
The Emerald policy is more
absurd than a backwoods fan
atic.”
Statements on both sides of the
military fence appear today on the
editorial page.
Males Swing Count
Significant in the vote on the
ROTP is the margin of 30 votes
which the women give for compul
sory military drill in a ballot of
198 to 168 against optional. The
male optional vote, however, was
heavy enough to swing the total
count over to voluntary. Men voted
436 to 385 against compulsory, and
36 didn’t indicate a preference for
either optional or compulsory.
Of the men favoring voluntary
drill 164 had not taken or are not
taking the course, 204 have taken
it, and 66 failed to indicate wheth
er they had taken it. Of those for
compulsory drill 49 had not had
any ROTC training, 272 had, and
64 didn’t indicate. Of those wdio
didn't indicate a perference one
way or the other 4 had not taken
training, 7 had, and 3 failed to in
dicate.
The presidential vote broken
down to indicate the actual votes
by men and women for each candi
date show: Roosevelt, men 447, wo
men 189: Landon, men 314, women
166; Thomas, men 42, women 23;
Browder, men 20; women 4; Lem
ke, men 5, women 0; and Colvin,
men 1, women 0.
The male compulsory vote and
the total women voters were the
same, 385.
Electric Counter Used
Tabulation was accomplished by
