See Pago 4—It’s There UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1930 NUMBER 22 The Passing Show Stock Market Booms Kenny vs. Kenny Strike Nation-wide Negative Voters By DARREL ELLIS lip With FDR The greatest election vi the nation’s history was in the New York stock *e ■yesterday as buying hit zzy pace, with some industrials *ring up from 1 to 5 points and hitting a new five-year high. Public \itilities were the only stocks on the “bear market.” Brok ers explained the selling on the theory that New Deal legislation will continue in its program of gov ernmental regulation and lower rates. So fast was business on the floor that the ticker tape was at one time four minutes behind. Paralysis Spreads The all-coast shipping tieup, un officially estimated to be costing more than h^,lf a million dollars every day, gave no hope for settle ment yesterday as scattered vio lence and threats of more trouble flared up on the west coast and more than 100 men were arrested in New Orleans. The strike by yesterday had spread to virtually every American port, with shipping in Boston har bor at a dead standstill, 49 ships .lying idle in New York, and many vessels in other Atlantic and gulf ports tied up. Shipping experts es timated the total number to be more than 325. The Winnahl Mrs. Lily Kenny, claimant of $500,000 as winner of the Millar stork derby, spent election night in a Toronto hotel convincing her husband, newspapermen, and cam eramen that she, and not Mr. Ken ny, was the “champion” of the baby • race. Mr. Kenny, who had beat his chest for the benefit of camera men and proclaimed himself “win ner of the stork derby” was not only convinced but silenced by a wallop from his better half that eventually sent him to a hospital. Previous to this display of fistic elegance, Mrs. Kenny had settled differences with a New York cam eraman by the same method, and immediately afterwards, she was ordered from the hotel. Just Stubborn Oregon voters shook their heads violently to proposed measures on Tuesday’s ballot, not only for the state but in cities and counties as well. Portland voted down proposals for purchase of sites for industrial leasing, a police pension, a sewage disposal plant, change of the fis cal year, and establishment of new recreational areas. Albany reject ed a plan to issue bonds for a swim ming pool, Marion and Linn coun ties defeated proposals for barring of intoxicants and suggestions of people’s utility districts. Parks Hitchcock Now Attending U. of California George Parks Hitchcock, grad uate of ’36 and famed to the Ore gon campus as former College Side champion sitter and author of the Emerald’s “Passing Show” two years ago, is now attending the University of California. He re cently spoke in behalf of the In ternational Longshoremen’s asso ciation at an anti-picketing rally on the California campus. Coed Cracks Tradition Freshman Virginia Long start ed a long battle by joining the University of Maryland’s all male band, which was settled only when the dean of women ruled she could stay in -the band and wear the trousered uniform but could not take trips with the other musicians. Dude Ranch Course Correct means of running a dude ranch is the latest subject to be taught at the University of Wyo ming. “We have a new course for training workers,” said Dr. Arthur G. Crane, president. “Dude ranch ing is becoming a big business in Wyoming, totaling $10,000,000 an nually now. It will be many times this in a few years. When a fam- j ily comes from the East to vaca tion with the 'dudes,' every mem-! ber must be satisfied or they all leave. Our graduates are fitted to ' help everyone.” g Jwuch Football Injuries ' Mount • Possible Fractured Skull Suffered by Sprague Unofficial as Well as Official Games Add To Crippled List; Russ Cutler Breaks Cheekbone in Gym Contest Culminating a series of touch football injuries, Vernon Sprague, senior in physical education, received a possibly fractured skull while playing an unofficial game in front of the Phi Delta Theta house during the noon hour Wednesday. In the second accident of the day Russ Cutler, gym instructor, broke his cheekbone during his 3 o’clock touch football class. Sprague, a member of Phi Delta Theta, received the most serious injury of the season when he collided with Floyd Vflughn during the game and fell to the pave ment. He was taKen to the sacred Heart hospital at one o’clock, and had not completely regained con sciousness at a late hour last night. Although an x-ray was taken, no definite diagnosis of Sprague’s con dition had been made. He was be lieved to have a fractured skull or at least a serious concussion. Grout Also Hurt Ben Grout, member of the ATO second place intramural team, was also injured today, when he received a wrenched knee during the championship game with the Yeomen. Grout was hit by one of his own men. His injury is not ser ious. Intramural officials could not be contacted last night to comment on the growing list of accidents. Although no definite check has been made on the number of stu dents injured, nine players had been hurt by October 16, receiving everything from broken arms to dog bites.t Observers of the game report that the list of accidents has in creased considerably since then. A completely report on the number of injuries, with comment from intramural officials will be pub lished in tomorrow’s Emerald.

Dr. Moore Warns of Latent Danger In Event Democrats Misdirect Majority Opinion By MORRISON BALES » Conjuring up visions highly distasteful to believers in the republican form of government, Elon H. Moore, professor of socialogy, yesterday hinted to this interviewer of the disastrous consequences latent in the event of misdirection of the enormous majority opinion apparent in the overwhelming vote of confidence given the president in Tusday's elec tion. Dr. Moore said that if the astound ing- victory of the Democrats — who, he asserted, were conceded to number in their ranks a far great er percentage of people of limited means than did the Republican party—gave them the idea of at tempting to redistribute the wealth too rapidly, the property class would be forced to the formation of a fascist party and thus resort to violence to protect their proper-, ty. Fascist Victory Chances The chances of a fascist victory would lie, under such conditions, upon the breaking up of the radical element into several parties and upon the alienation by the then radical group of the small property class, thus throwing the support (Please turn to page two) Portland Game To Be Heralded By Rally Dance Tickets for the Oregon-UCLA rally dance to be held at the Up town ballroom in Portland Friday night will go on sale at all living organizations today. They may also be obtained from members of the rally committee. This is a novel idea in the way of pre-game celebrations as the University of Oregon has never be fore held a dance prior to a game in Portland. The Uptown, located at 21st and Burnside, will fea ture Archie Loveland’s orchestra, starting at 9 o’clock. Admission charge is 25 cents. Dan E. Clark Jr. Leaves For Dallas Convention Dan E. Clark II, president of Sigma Delta Chi and delegate to the national convention of the journalism professional society at Dallas, Texas, will leave Saturday, November 7, for Chicago on the stream liner, City of Portland. From Chicago Clark will travel to Dallas with other district convention delegates. Sigma Delta Chi, one of the most active honorary groups on the campus and a powerful national organization holds a convention at some prominent cuy in tne unuea States each year. Delegates from each of the many schools of jour nalism throughout the nation are sent to represent their schools. Oregon has sent a delegate to ev ery convention for the past 15 years. Funds for aiding the dele gates are raised for the most part by members of Sigma Delta Chi. This year’s convention is being held at Dallas, Texas, November .3, 14, and 15, affording the dele ates an opportunity to visit the Texas Centennial exposition and to see the Southern Methodist univer sity-Arkansas football game on passes supplied by the city. The general aim of the convention is to ynite the national honorary in clos er harmony by giving the dele gates a chance to get acquainted with members of the organization from all over the nation. On his return trip through Cali fornia, Clark will stop over at Los Angeles and will return to the campus about November 24. Gate Receipts To Decide Fate Of Turf Field Athletic Committee Will Determine Issue After Season’s Close; Two Plans Await Choice By PAT FRIZZELL “Our first project is to turf the football field,” declared Anson B, Cornell, Oregon’s athletic mana ger, yesterday afternoon. » This cheering news came as the answer to continued inquiry from several sources. The only hitch in a turf field for Webfoot football next fall is the athletic budget, ac cording to Cornell. “The coaches want it, we all want it," Cornell explained, “but we can’t have it until the budget is balanced." Athletic Board Is Judge The faculty athletic committee will meet after the close of the football season to determine whether or not this is the year for turf on Hayward field. Balancing the budget depends largely .upon drawing heavy gate receipts from the remaining three games on Oregon's schedule. Work necessary to change the dirt and mud of Hayward field into silky turf will include plowing, (Please turn to page tivo) Armistice Day Plans Under Way UO Peace Week Program To Feature Reshowing Of ‘Bury the Dead’ Endeavoring to celebrate Armis tice d'.y in a manner indicative of. the ideals for which American sol diers fought and died, the Studer(f Christian council is sponsoring a reshowing of “Bury the,Dead.’’ The play will be presented at the Guild Hall theatre November 9 and ;10.

Psych Exam May Replace Prep Rating as Test for Frosh Eligibility J 'When the interfraternity council I meets this evening at 7:30 in John son hall, three important commit tees, appointed by the council at their last meeting, will report their findings I As dissatisfaction was shown over the prep decile systen^ at the last meeting, a committee appoint ed at that time will report tonighL on the advisability of using the psychology test instead of the prep decile system as a means of deter mining the eligibility of freshmen pledges.

Landsbury Says ‘Swing’ Music Out Faculty Croup Has Already Banned ‘Jazz’ Playing at Football games The discussion raging in the edi torial columns of the Emerald the past week regarding the playing of ‘‘swing” music at football games is really a dead issue, according to Dean Landsbury of the school of music. A decision that the band should keep to military numbers as its main offering and play popu lar music only as feature numbers was made at a conference of the music school faculty, President Boyer, Dean Earl, Mr. Earl M. Pallett, registrar, Anse Cornell, athletic manager, and Ellsworth Huffman, band leader, before the Oregon-Washington State game here Saturday, October 24. Huffman declared that he felt “swing” music to be entirely in appropriate for football games, but had organized the band because of the enthusiastic reception given “The Music Goes ’Round and ’Round” at the basketball games last winter. General campus opin ion as well as that of faculty, al umni, and people of the state seems to be against it now. George Hopkins Plays For Tenor Giovanni Martinelli, famous op eratic tenor, was accompanied by George Hopkins of the mnusic school faculty in his Corvallis con cert Sunday night. Mr. Martinelli’s program con sisted chiefly of arias from various operas. Most applauded of his many encores was “O Solo Mio." Among those from the Univer sity who were present for the con cert were Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Leighton of the education depart ment. Mrs. Leighton was impressed by Signor Martinelli’s ability to sing, and his power to hold an au dience spellbound despite his age. His hair is snow white, yet he is ranked as Metropolitan’s leading tenor. Mr. Hopkins, who accompanied Mr. Martinelli in his concert in Portland last year, played two groups of solos, five in all. F. S. Dunn’s Condition Remains Unchanged The condition of Frederic S. Dunn, head of the classics depart ment, remained unchanged yester day. Professor Dunn has been very ill with pneumonia for several weeks, but recently he has been showing improvement. Hop Doorman Faces Invasion Of Launderers D. R. Dimick, who will act an doorman at the law school dance Saturday, has a new worry. It seems that law student Har ry McCall inadvertently left sev eral tickets to the lawyers' classic in his shirt pocket when he sent it to the laundry. Now Dimick is faced with a prob lem can he tell a laundryman from a law student and. if so, can he refuse one admittance if he possesses a ticket. Statistics Class Charts Election Gape's Work Planned to Show Inconsisteneies of Digest Poll Daniel D. Gage, professor in the business school, and his class in statistics are preparing with the aid of Raymond A. Platts, an ar row distribution chart showing state by state where the greatest and least inconsistencies in the Literary Digest poll are to be found. Though the Digest indicated a 55-45 ratio in favor of Landon, Mr. Gage predicted' that the opposite would more likely be true. Results of the election show this to have been a much too conservative esti mate. Mr. Gage believes that if the Di gest continues to use this straw vote idea, it will probably need to know more about the methods em ployed by Dr. George Gallup’s American Institute of Public Opin ion. Though this institution sent out only 250,000 sample ballots, it gave Landon only three states, which was very near the final re sult. The findings of Mr. Gage's cha’t will be released to the press when sufficient returns are in and ac curate tabulation^ made. KEHRLI, HYDE LEAVE Herman Kehrli, director of the bureau of municipal research and Warren Hyde, staff member of the league of Oregon cities will go to Portland Friday, where they will attend a meeting to consider de velopment of police training pro gram for officers of the smaller cities of Oregon. State Returns Give Results Of Major Bills Noil-Compulsory HOTC. Measure Is Defeated; Same Liberal Polieies Will Govern Complete Election Returns From 1150 Oregon Precincts Yes No Military .60,709 102,231 Tax Reduction 58,489 109,462 With complete returns from the majority of precincts in Oregon to taled last night, the Tuesday elec tion bills balloted on showed defin ite defeat for the non-compulsory military training issue and the tax reduction. “The issue has been presented to the people of the state and they have voted their approval of the present policy,” stated Colonel E. V. D. Murphy, local ROTC com mandant, when questioned yester day regarding the optional military training bill upset. Liberal Policy Continues “The same liberal policy of en rollment and training previously conducted will be continued,” fur ther explained the army executive. “As in the past, this department will accept withdrawals from ca dets on the basis of conscientious objection, religious belief and con flict with employment and class schedules. Campaign Worth Money Charles Paddock, one of the ma jor exponents in the fight for the passage of the optional military in itiative, informed the Emerald that “We were hardly so optimistic as to believe that the bill would pass. The educational value of the cam paign was worth the hundreds of hours we put into it.” Library Receives Book On Pueblo Indian Work “Pueblo Indian Pottery” publish ed this year by C. Szwedzicki of Nice, France, is now in the library. The book is volume two, one hav ing been purchased last year and is illustrated with 50 reproductions in color from the specimens in the famous collection of the Indian arts fund and laboratory of anthro pology in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is a limited edition of 750 copies which are numbered and autographed by Szwedizicki, the publisher. The university copy is 193. Law Professors Eye Saturday’s Dance Prize Even the excitement of election returns can’t dim the enthusiasm which law school students and profs feel for their impending toe battle this Saturday. Yesterday we reported that Professor Charles G. Howard had per fected a novelty step with which he expected to cop the prize in the faculty prize dance. Lo, what a hornet's nest we stirred up! It seems that virtually every prof in the law school has his eagle eye fastened on that prize ana, wnars more, every one of them has his pet step with which he expects to rake it in. Look what we found—Professor Spencer, it has been rumored, has been practicing with his wife on the sly, and all efforts to find out what intricate maneuvers they have concoted have been in vain. Ever-confident Professor Hollis says he needs no practice. He ex pects to introduce sizzling steps straight from Paris which he pick ed up this summer. Professor O’Connell was also in Europe this summer and well-in formed law students say that he expects to impersonate the mad Russian in his dance. Perhaps all these worthy efforts will be in vain, however, for it is rumored that the prize committee has already selected the winners of the two prize dances. Tony Yturri, one of the judges, contends though, that the contests will be strictly on the up and up—no railroading and no bribes accepted. Selection of the winners, he says will be on the basis of merit, only. The date committee reports that, through its energetic work, prac tically all law students have been secured dates for the affair. A grand total of 60 couples is ex pected to attend. The law school office has been deluged with fluttering misses wanting to know what they should wear. In answer to these, Bob Mil ler, law school student body prexy, says that the proper attire will be long informals. WILTSHIRE SUITS at I’. S.—Notice the cut of the pleated pant.
