Gates of Madrid
By DARREL ELLIS
Second Trial
Prospect of another New Deal
program fashioned after the lines
of the NRA were foreseen by po
litical experts yesterday as late re
turns upheld early indications of
the nation’s overwhelming endorse
ment of Rooseveltian policies. The
president’s plurality approached
the ter. million mark last night.
Although no definite announce
ment has been made concerning the
form the new unemployment legis
lation will take, it was known that
data now being gathered would be
used by the president in drafting
his opening message to congress
and his inaugural address January
20.
Tandy’s New Plane
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, who
has done no private flying since
last year when he suddenly took
up residence in England, made a
test hop yesterday in a plane which
he himself helped design. Friends
of the colonel expressed an opinion
that he would soon be making
short trips around Europe.
Lindy’s new plane, claimed by
its makers to be the fastest tour
ing monoplane ever built in Eng
land, is equipped with tandem
seats which can be converted into
bunks and has a cruising range of
1,000 miles.
Adherence to League
Great Britain will place her re
liance in the League of Nations to 1
keep peace in Europe despite that
body’s impotence in the past, For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden said
in an address to parliament yes
terday.
"Because there has been .one fail
ure, there is no reason to say that
the world must turn back on an en
deavor which is the only alterna
tive to catastrophe and failure,”
Eden declared, at the same time
asserting his country would not
desert Russia for Germany and
rtal'y.
Still at It
Madrid was crumbling under a
withering fire of cannon and ma
chine guns yesterday as the bloody
Spanish civil war went into its one
hundred and eleventh birthday. The
bombardment already has taken a
toll of approximately 2,000 lives,
an unconfirmed report from Lisbon
said last night.
Gen. Jose Varela, who is direct
ing the insurgent drive from a
front seven miles outside the city,
predicted the capital’s fall "inside
the week, perhaps.”
Ucla Band Dons
Nighties to Lead
Campus Parade
By BERNADINE BOWMAN
A pajama-clad university band
led the pajamerino parade on the
UCLA campus last weekend. A
feature of the homecoming cele
bration was the awarding of a
new pair of pajamas to the man
wearing the most dilapidated
pair.
Frank E. Merriam, governor
of California, Joe E. Brown, and
Jane Withers, newly appointed
varsity team mascot, were some
of the celebrities occupying
prominent positions in the par
ade.
LATE
University women who ob
ject to early closing hours
might find conditions in South
America more to their liking.
Late hours are the custom
there, according to Catherine
Ehrke, freshman at the Uni
versity of Kansas. The usual
dinner hour is 9 o’clock, thea
ters open at 10, and dances
begin at 12!
SAN JOSE
A cooperative flying club has
been formed by the students at
the San Jose State college and
they have recently purchased an
airplane for their development in
flying. The plane was flown
from Bradford, Pennsylvania, by
a state student aviator. The
members of the club will be
able to receive flying time at
the inexpensive cost of about 50
cents per hour which is very
inexpensive when contrasted
with the regular price of $4.50
for an hour’s flying time in oth
er aviation schools.

Cast Is Changed
There will be at least two im
portant changes in 4he cast of
“Bury the Dead” when it reopens
its campus run next Monday and
Tuesday night at the University
theater.
In the role of the hard-boiled

Reason for Touch-tackle
Injuries Will Be Sought
By Investigator Washke
Intramural Activity Will Be Dropped
Unless Sandlot Casualty Causes Can
Be Found and Remedied
Oregon's first year of touch football as an intramural sport ended
last night leaving behind it one student wifh a fractured skull in the
Sacred Heart hospital, and several others who are, or who have been
infirmary patients with injuries suffered in the sport.
John F. Bovard, dean of the school of physical education, declared
that an investigation would be launched to discover the reason for all
tne injuries.
‘‘We think, however,” he said
last night, ‘‘that most injuries were
suffered in sandlot games where
there was no supervision. The
sport has been played at other col
leges and is being played in high
schools with much enjoyment add
little damage. Of course, if we dis
3over that the game cannot be
played without students being in
jured, it will be dropped from in
tramural activities.”
YVashke Will Investigate
Paul R. Washke, director of the
nen's gym, who will have charge
}f investigating the injuries, could
lot be contacted last night for
comment.
An effort was made to reach
Russ Cutler, assistant professor of
physical educations, who was in
jured two days ago during a touch
lackle class, but he could not be
tound.
Although the most dangerous of
the series of injuries suffered is the
’ractured skull Vernon Sprague re
vived in a street game, and the
njured eye of Pat Cassidy, which
s being treated in the infirmary,
nost of the injuries have been
ninor. The infirmary has had al
nost a constant stream of bruises
:uts, and similar small wounds to
mndage from 5 to 8 each evening
ifter touch tackle games. Several
times the doctors have had to be
tailed.
Students Say:
6Buy Your Own
Pigger’s Guide9
"Say, you fellows could make
life a lot easier for me if you
would just stop bumming me for
cigarettes and borrowing my
pigger's guide. Why don't you
buy your own?”
Tbe above quotation, voiced by
a prominent sophomore, seems
to be the popular sentiment on
the campus. Especially is this so
in the case of the pigger’s guide
or student directory.
Issued nearly a month earlier
than usual, the guide, contain
ing names, addresses, and tele
phone numbers of all students
and faculty numbers, has been
enthusiastically received.
Copies may now be obtained
at the Co-op, as its supply has
been re-stocked, at the Igloo, and
at the ASUO offices. The price
is 25 cents.
Travel Adds to Critical
Attitude, Says Mrs. Allen
By JUDITH WODAEGE
One of the greatest values of traveling in foreign lands is the critical
attitude it gives one toward one’s homeland, said Mrs. Eric W. Alien
last night in her informal talk about her experiences in Europe this
summer at the open meeting of Theta Sigma Phi and women students
interested in journalism. She indicated that after a visit to the ole
countries of the world, the United States present unlimited oppor

Walter Engele, president of Beta
Lambda, announced that plans are
j being formulated concerning a
i prize contest sometime this year
for the best essay on a German
subject.
Mrs. Allen pointed out that the
person with the desire to see for
eign lands should not despair ol
fulfilling his wish because of in
adequate knowledge of foreign lan
guages, regulations, and customs
Europeans are only too glad tc
assist the foreigner over the diffi
cult obstacles of speech and habit
Mrs. Allen, who traveled ovei
western Europe this summer witt
Dean Allen and their son, Bill
stressed the fact that the elite
style of travel, consisting of class
“A” accommodations in ship cab
ins, hotels, and conducted tours is
of no more value or pleasure thar

Palm Springs, the Mark Hopkins

Shy Man Awaits
Date For Dance;
See Dick Devers
I -
Attention girls!
The date committee for the
j annual law school hop is send
ing out a distress call. It seems
that a certain senior law student
has been unable so far to secure
a date for that epochal event.
This gentleman is recommend
ed very highly by his friends. He
is six feet . tall, weighs 180
pounds, has curly blond hair, and
blue eyes. His only drawback is
that he is slightly shy, but any
girl can overcome this by use of
the right tactics. His fellow stu
dents state that he is a perfect
gentleman. He has taken a three
months’ course in dancing and
is an ardent disciple of Emily
Post. Even the mildest of maid
ens need not feel any hesitancy
in going with him for he is a
past-master in tea-room (not
bar-room) tactics.
Any young lady interested in
showing this young man and her
self a good time is urged to get
in touch with Dick Devers of the
date committee in care of the law
school and ask about X-3.
Hurry, girls, he won’t last long!

50 Jobs Needed
For UOStudents
Saysjanvt Smith
“Fifty odd jobs are urgently
needed for students,” stated Jan
et Smith, employment secretary,
when interviewed Thursday.
Due to the third installment
of fees that are due November
9, Monday, this is a pressing
problem to students working
their way through school.
“Last year, the employment
office succeeded in averaging 11
jobs a day with an average of
$1.50 a ay. This mark has not
been reached this year and the
present situation is the result,”
stated Miss Smith.
In addition to this 12 jobs for
board are wanted by students,
unable to cook, but anxious to
work in other ways.
Many jobs have been secured
and the NYA has affected a
great number but Miss Smith
said, “Our problem is at the
present time to obtain odd jobs
and board jobs for students who
need this work in order to stay
in school.”
! Student Writes
About Alaskan
School Teaching
J. F. Banish, University exten
sion student, has been in Alaska
: for approximately two years, and
; recently wrote a letter describing
I his experiences in teaching school.
“I opened school with an enroll
ment of 35 students and more than >
half cannot speak English. I have
some students who are in the third,
fifth, and eighth grades but these
are half Indian and half white,”
a paragraph from his letter said'.
Supplies and books are difficult
! to send to the school at the Pilot
station on the Yukon, where Mr.
Banish is stationed. In the sum
mer, boats ship them up the river,
but in the winter everything is
shipped in by dog teams which
cannot carry bulky things.
Mr. Banish’s home is in Medford,
and he is now working for his BS
degree. When he has fulfilled his
required hours of teaching in Alas
ka, he plans to come to Oregon
for his degree.

Faculty Found to Be
Human Under Scrutiny
By ALICE LEE NELSON
“Dorothy Cox Hesse of Eugene gave the University of Oregon
faculty some of their own medicine, put them under the microscope,
and discovered what a swell bunch they are, what interesting hobbies
they ride,” begins an article in the November issue of the Sunset
magazine entitled "Professors Are Human.”
To prove her contention that professors are human, Mrs. Hesse
describes the 200-foot three-track “Evans made and Evans planned”
railroad which John Stark Evans keeps in his attic to which “he makes
tracks when sweet music sounds sour.”
Dean Hazel P. Schwering's
collection of more than “250 Tom
Thumb animals, birds, people,
dwellings, conveyances and odd bits
of tiny pottery” is brought to light
as well as Professor Frederic S.
Dunn’s collection of stamps. In
his collection "everything from
rare, valuable postage stamps to
wine bottle stamps or even Christ
mas seals are found,” Mrs. Hesse
said. The article continues “that’s
the reason his six loose leaf al
bums are so full of interest and
variety. And that is one of the
reasons he’s so full of interest and
variety.”
Mention is made of President C.
V. Boyer’s dogs, George Hopkins’
model airplanes, Dean Wayne L.
Morse’s horses, Dean James H. Gil
bert’s ten-mile daily walks, as well
as the cabbages and tomatoes of
I Howard R. Taylor, head of the
psychology department.
Dorothy Cox Hesse, ex-’22, is
the wife of Dr. John L. Hesse. She
is a member of Theta Sigma Phi,
; journalism honorary, and Pot and
Quill, writing honorary.
Irene Conkling, ex-'36, and Har
II old W. Birkinshaw, ex-’34, were
1 married in Portland on October 21.
