Champion of the Afflicted
/T"'iII8 week the annual Red Cross member
ship drive gets under way on the Univer
sity campus as well as throughout the na
tion. In one way or another every student
will receive an appeal to subscribe to this
worthy cause. We hope the response will
he generous.
On the far-flung front of disaster the Red
Cross stands in the first ranks, battling the
giants of hunger, exposure and disease. The
Colorado river overruns its shores leaving
hundreds homeless and hungry; an epidemic
rages through a southern community; a fire
sweeps the little town of Randon—Wherever
disaster strikes the Red Cross is there succor
ing the afflicted with its kindly ministrations.
There is too little of unselfish humanitar
ianism in this confused, bickering world. No
organization which allows its warm hand of
sympathy to reach over the harriers of face
and creed should bo denied support.
New Wonder of the World
/^N account of the San Francisco bay bridge
in the current issue of News Kcvicw stag
gers us. We knew it was an undertaking of
some immensity and that it would be opened
for traffic tomorrow, Thursday, but we were
scarcely prepared to grasp at once the cart
ridge summary that a few short paragraphs
of the magazine shot dazingly into our imag
ination.
“• • • • dwarfing the Firth of Forth bridge
(currently the world's largest, after the open
ing ot Golden Gate bridge the.world’s third
largest), the San Franeisco-Oakland bay
bridge is 22,720 feet along against 8300 feet
ior the Scottish span*. . . . combining the
longest suspension span, the second longest
cantilever span and the largest tunnel bore
in the world, requiring (i.7 per cent of the
entire American steel output for 1933, and
enough concrete to rebuild all the office
buildings in San Francisco, employing an an
nual average of (i.)00 men, insured for tjt33
million . . .
# * *
'yL/'J1,''W ' grandeur of the undertak
ing almost strains belief. .Mere bulk
doesn’t begin to give the picture. Boulder
dam cost two or three* times as much and the
Panama canal cost .7 million to the bridge’s
$77 million. Think, though, of the boldness
ol tin* engineers who dared even conceive a
bridge erected on' the tricky, floor of San
1 ianciseo ba\. Go back to the terrifving >
earthquake of 1 DOG and consider the repeated I
tn»
temblors which the Bay region has exper
ienced since, and then wonder that engineer
ing science can inspire the quake-wary popu
lation with the confidence which the actual
construction necessitated.
Truly this is a marvelous age.
We’re Losing Our Memory
rj~'IIE reason we only have one war in each
generation is that people have such good
memories. So long as remembrance of the
“last war” is clearly etched in people's minds
there is little danger of a recurrence, but
after 18 or 20 or ‘25 years, the picture fades
and the frantic scramble for armaments starts
anew, nationalism runs rampant, and the du
Ponts and Morgans sally forth to work us
into another nice profitable fracas.
It was only 18 years ago today that America
swore “never again.” The horror, the futil
ity, the tragedy of war were not soon to be
forgotten. Yet today we arc forgetting. Even
those who were through it recall the comrade
ship of their buddies, but forget the bloody
stupidity of it all. The rest of us are sitting
idly, unconcernedly, watching our armament
budget rocket to an annual figure exceeding
$1,200,000,000, while our waf department
drafts plans for mobilizing industry in event
of war, and even the citizenry of this state
expresses its anticipation of war by turning
down the nationalization of military training
in their schools of higher education.
Yes this is the anniversary of the Armistice.
But are we not forgetting the firm resolve
to which we once dedicated this day? We are
the new generation; must be commit the same
folly as our adults?
No More Touch Tackle
^LTIiOUGll touch football was substituted
this fall for a milder program of swim
ming, volleyball, and water polo, it will not
be included in next year’s intramural pro
gram.
The intramural board’s statement that the
fall program of former years will be resumed
is not the result of a new decision on the
sport and was nftt influenced by injuries
which occurred in play this year. It is, rather,
a restatement of the reasons why touch tackle
was played this year under the sanction of
the board and why the necessity will not be
present next year.
pACKI) with the problem of supplying a
substitute program when both gymnasium
and swimming pool were not at their disposal,
tlie intramural directors responded to many
requests and made touch tackle a donut sport.
Next year, with the completion of the new
physical education building and the recon
struction of the swimming pool, the sports
setup of previous years many be resumed.
# *
ALTHOUGH it is not the plan of the board
to include touch football in the liklT pro
gram. the intramural board is determined to
timl out what can be learned from this year's
play. No record of football injuries has been
kept at the I Diversity hospital. The intra
mural board is conducting its own investiga
tion, dependent mainly on the statements of
managers of fraternity football teams.
In line with this study of injuries, the board
will seek some means of eliminating and re
ducing the dangerous features of the game,
should it ever he re-introduced here.
# # *
J^Xh.N though touch football be excluded
from the intramural curriculum, there is
no nay to regulate the even more dangerous
st reel and saudlot contests. However,’ wiping
it oil the donut slate will eliminate the prac
tice sessions which have been held this year
and will, perhaps, reduce the incentive to
play.
I lie completion ot the new gym and the
Pool may also help to limit saudlot and street
contests by attracting students to use the
new improved facilities.
Touc h Football
..___, \
(Continued from paije one)
that: “It is to be thoroughly muter-j
stood that the introduction of touch
football this fall as an intramural
sport was due to the fact that many
students had petitioned to introduce
this game in the past, and as we
are in an emergency situation, we
could not conduct our usual fall
program, because of the lack of
swimming pool and building facili
ties. Because of the lack of space
and facilities to carry on our usual
program and, further, because of
the decided interest ou the part of
the students in this sport, it was
introduced for this year and this
year only. There was no thought in
the minds of the intramural boutd
to make the sport one to be repeat
ed,
"In view of the fact that next fall
our emergency situation will un
doubtedly be over and we will have
our new building and the sw miming
pool will be finished, it is the inten
tion of the board to revert back to
the fall program of years before:
namely, swimming-, water polo, am!
volleyball," Mr. Washke's statement
continues.
Study Being Made
“Furthermore, those of us in
charge of the administration of the
intramural program in the mean
time ate making- a study of the
cause of the injuries and what can
be done to eliminate them so we
shall have this information on hand
in case we should ever consider its
reintroduction. This information,
when gathered, should be very help
fid in guiding us in any future ac
tion."
Mo statistics on the injuries
caused by touch tackle in either
games und< r supervision or in sand
lot games are available at tin Uni
versity hospital so the intramural
board is conducting it., own investi-1
gation, with a view toward determ- ;
imng thc'extent of the injuries and i
to alleviating their eases.
"Reports from M of the teams!
which participated were all in favor
of continuing the sport.

Tune ’er
Out...
By BOB POLLOCK
The beating of drums, the blare
of bugles, and the sound of march
ing men that's all you’ll get today
besides sleep. That is, except for
the Colonel’s boys . . . they’ll climb
out of bed, into their nice monkey
suits and be ready to feel the thud
of an eight and a half pound Spring
field on their shoulders for a couple
of pavement miles around nine this
morning ... ah, yes, the ROTC
marches again,
NBC does Armistice day very
well indeed ... at 8 this a. m. a
talk from the Tomb of the L'n
known soldier with all the old
time-worn phrases . . . should be
of some comfort to us all . . .
then, the Disabled Veterans’ com
mander, Froome Barbour, will try
to talk employers into hiring ex
soldiers to keep the lads from em
barrassing the administration by
asking for pensions . . .
Last big shot of the day is at
seven when women all over the
country will give peace talks. Then,
with appropriate ceremonials, the
flag will be lowered and we will be
able to go back to buying battle
ships. Yep, we saw ’em "Bury the
Dead” last night, too . . .
A lighter note in the general
dish of hooey will be provided by
Flank’s Kmerald of the Air on
KORK from 8 to 8:30 tonight.
, Pianos? Say, the lad has a mil
lion of ’em—with three players:
Gus Meyers—and here’s a plug
for a good campus band . . . and
a suggestion they dig up just a
little bigger repertoire—Chuck
French, who’ll try a solo, and
Jack McCarty, the blond lad, who
booms the Mac’s noisy organ on
Wednesday nights. There’ll also
be a ipystery trio with Gus Mey
ers as pivot man . . . we call it a
mystery trio because who’ll be in
it and what they’ll sing is a mys
tery even to genial Gus himself—
or was last night ... so Plank
says.
No paper tomorrow’ ... so here's
a tip: try the symphony Thursday
evening. They've got "Ride of the
Valkyries" from "Die Walkure” by
Wagner. Personally, wre don’t know
a conductor's baton from the jani
tor’s broom, but that number is
OK.

annually for cigarettes, as revealed
by a survey conducted by the Ma

board costs students $637,640, with
the men paying three times as
much as the women.
Flowers are purchased by the
men to the tune of $48,706, the wo
men spending $12,506. In their
more intellectual moods, students
spend $235,706 annually for books,
but the greatest amount goes for
the purchase of books of the fic

Stators Hire Chaperon
Hiring a chaperon for Saturday
informal entertainment is the new
social idea introduced on the Ore
gon State college campus by Sig
ma Nu. Dr. Kate \V. Jameson,
dean of women, has approved the
plan and suggested that a similar
idea be adopted in the rest of the
fraternities and sororities.

A novel plan to secure dates for

sophomore women. According to
the “dating bureau," dates of all

group of girls plan to give satis
faction to prospective informal cus

Heating Tunnel Strange
‘Under-Campus’ Maze
By DICK LITFIN
Some day you must try it; ’twas a real experience. I mean exploring
the maze of steam heating tunnels that are laid beneath the surface of
Oregon's campus.
In places you are 25 feet beneath the surface. The tunnels are six
feet wide and seven feet high. Through each tunnel run two pipes—
a heat-protected steam pipe and a drainage pipe. The tunnels are elec
trically lighted.
The longest and largest passageway begins at the heating plant
ana ronows a airecc line soutn
alongside University street to the
Igloo. Another starts at the heating
plant, crosses to the art building,
turns south to the ad building, con
tinues to Gerlinger hall and ends at
the new library. A branch tunnel is
now being constructed between the
two trunk lines along Thirteenth
I street near University. It will be
used to carry off drainage and
transfer heat from one main tunnel
to the other.
The air is surprisingly co'ol and
clean, because air heated by the
warm pipes rise through ventilation
shafts and cool air rushes in at the
plant entrance.
Along the 1800 foot tunnel be
tween the heating plant and the Ig
loo, small underground springs pour
through the cement walls and are
carried off by a floor drainage sys
tem and steered into the millrace.
Workmen are constantly kept busy
caring for new streams of water
seeping through the walls.
Construction of the two main-line
tunnels, the new branch, and re
pairs are supervised by F. E. Sea
man, construction foreman. Con
struction was started by the CWA,
taken over by the SERA, and is be
ing completed by the WPA.
Some of the isolated, quiet por
tions of the tunnels would provide
an excellent location for a murder.
Or as protection from an air raid.
The Passing Show
(Continued from payc one)
spokesman said, his country will
still attempt to make some direct
agreement with her hereditary en
emy. France.
Paving the Way
Labor forces began bearing down
on the national government yester
day and from many quarters in an
organized campaign for wage and
hour legislation, even though con
stitutional amendment may be nec
essary.
Sweat shop evils, and employ
ment of child labor, noticeably in
creased since invalidation of the
NRA, were the concern of labor
leaders both within and outside the
government. President Roosevelt
yesterday said he had given no
thought to constitutional amend
ment.
( HAT GROUP TO MEET
"Family Ties Shall We Tie
Them Tighter or Shall We Loosen
Them" will be discussed at the
meeting of the YWCA campus chat
group Thursday evening at eight.
Mrs. Emmajean Peterson of the
home economics department will
lead the discussion. Everyone in
terested is invited to attend.
Fencers’ Club
Elects Officers
Delbert James Robinson was
elected president and Lenore La
vanture, secretary-treasurer of the
University fencing club last week
in Gerlinger hall, when approxi
mately fifteen students gathered to
plan this year’s fencing activities.
Men and women agreed to meet
twice a week for practice, Monday
afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock, and
Thursday evening from 7:30 until
9:30 in the Women’s. Gym of Ger
linger. It was also agreed to ac
cept the invitation of Oregon State
to a friendly match at Corvallis
soon.
The group decided to tax them
selves twenty-five cents a term
club dues for social purposes with
which to serve refreshments to
their own group and when enter
taining fencers from other schools.
It was generally believed by var
ious members that both advanced
and beginning fencing classes for
men would be taught next term by
j the University to correspond to
those fencing groups already active
in the women's physical education
department.
