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

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

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,

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.

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

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.
