J^ADS are arriving today i'or the annual week-end dedicated to them by the Uni vcrsity. Many of them will be returning to live again for a few hours of the life they once knew here. But to many others it will be their first real visit to the University. if is our hope that Dad will be able to enjoy himself at the various special events arranged for him. But, aside from enjoy ing the entertainment, we hope that Dad gets time 1 o look us over. We hope he gets time to see us as we really are, to get a picture of the many valuable things his boy or girl is getting out of attending school, and to gain an understanding of our life here. Dad, for most of us, is the one who is making possible all the social benefits, intel lectual betterment,'and the sundry “finer things” we receive as University students. It is certainly fitting that all of our more or loss silent tributes to him during the year be united and expressed in one weekend dedi cated to him. 80 to our Dads as pals, and to our Dads as fathers, to both veterans and newcomers, the Emerald joins Chairman Barney Hall, his com mittee, and the entire University in extend- * ing a cordial welcome, in a hope that they will enjoy themselves every minute they are here. I Five Man Football T> EDUCTION of the number of men on the line in touch football would be a step toward eliminating blocking and charging, two possible causes of the injuries which have darkened the popular sport’s record during its first season of intramural play. Touch football has taken a definite hold on Portland. This is evident in the enthusiasm with which it has been gris ted in the Eastern Portland league and in numerous park ami playground conferences. rJ'MIK spark which started the modified grid sport in Portland came from the four team Hose City conference. Four boys, one of whom was Gordon Connelly, now an Ore gon student, formed the league in littit). Al though their playing fields during the first years of play only in championship contests, though officials were used during the four Wears of play only in championship contests, no major injuries were recorded and the league gave touch a reputation as a safe but fast game. Five-mail teams were used in the Rose City conference. Its founders attribute the dearth of injuries in the main to the limited number of players and lo the opening up of the game. I mler the rules of the conference, every man was an eligible pass receiver. Any pass thrown from behind the line of scrimmage was a lateral and any number of lateral passes could be used. Thu teams shot the works on every play. Instead of scrapping for ten yards, the boys had the field to make in four downs. # •» JJ.M ITINli 'the number of players would pave tlu> way for uu oven boiler safe guard against injury. Wit It five or six men on eaeh team, every organization would be able to put both an "A" ami a “!>" team in play, in separate leagues. Taking this step would also solve the problem of keeping as many men as possible interested in playing, and would divide them aeeording to their ability. In the editorial eolumns of a reoeut issue of the Oregonian, the use of six-man teams for small towns and schools playing tackle foot ball was suggested as a means of reducing injuries. Begun three years ago in the Mast, this movement lias been spreading steadily. The main advantage claimed for the smaller team is the reduction of injuries through the limi tation necessarily placed on body contact. This same advantage, and others, should ap ply to touch football. Spoils for Men of Talent “rJ"'IIE most open, the most crude, the most brutal use of the spoils system that this country has ever seen. ...” Thus A If M. Larnlon characterized New Deal personnel management in almost his final blast before last week’s electoral flood engulfed him. Landon is, or at least was, a politician ; so in our cool, post-campaign way of looking at things we may very sensibly give his campaign utterances some degree of discount, as we might those of any political aspirant. But still we must allow a percent age of truth for the man’s conscience and pronounce that for all the smoke there is quite a bit of fire. Politics has been a major consideration in New Deal appointments to date; of that there can be little doubt. Also the amount of pat ronage available to loyal party workers has been expanded with the creation of new gov ernmental agencies, and it certainly must be admitted that few if any of these thousands of new positions have been placed under civil service regulations. * it ik HIT ICS of Roosevelt patronage, however, have lost sight of at least one tiling, that most of these jobs cdukl only be regarded as temporary. Some, such as emergency relief agencies, were temporary by their very na ture, since they were intended to last only for the duration of the depression. Others waited for their permanency upon an elec toral approval of the New Deal's principles of centralized administration. That approval was given in the flood of Roosevelt votes a week ago Tuesday. Rut (‘ven if the Roosevelt administration does interpret last week’s landslide as a popu lar mandate to make its central agencies permanent and even if il now chooses to place these thousands of positions under civil ser vice control—still will the problem of secur ing administrative efficiency he solved? One of the nation's foremost educators, l)r. Har old Willis .Dodds, president of I’rinceton uni versity, does not think so. # # * “JT is uol enough to keep 1 lit* spoilsuam out of office through tin; use of civil service regulations." declared Mr. Dodds to a cor respondent of the Christian Science Monitor. "We must open government positions to young mi'ii and women of promise on a basis that will secure them professionel careers m tin' service of government, removed from the necessity of political considerations. . . . This has not been done. The whole direction of the civil service movement in the United j States lias been toward keeping politicians out of office rather than toward bringing good men into service. "With all of the splendid talent trained j by our educational system, it is difficult to place educated men in government service. For one thing, political pitfalls and lack of j adequate promotion make the trained man shy away from the government job. But even if it is attractive to him, restrictions make it very difficult for the average well-trained college man to obtain an administrative posi tion upon the same conditions as are offered by big business and finance." # * « rjpilli problems of govenmental administra tion have become complicated to the same degrees as those of our industrial so ciety from w hich they have arisen. But, unlike j industry, government to a large degree does not choose to avail itself of the thousands of young men and women trained in our uni versities to meet modern problems. In Kng'laud, ns .Mr. Dodds and others have pointed out, government offers a career of Mich promise that the ablest university gradu ates are attracted to its service. tSoverumcut in the United States must offer a greater reward it it too is to attract the young talenfj of the land. in\KMi i:i.uo'H's UNIVERSITY BARBER SHOP WILL FIX YOU UP AL FRED CHARLIE BYROM & HOSELTON the man's shop New Arrivals— Grayco Shirts and Grayco End-Lock 1 ies Digging Into Dud \taL m/HMtttat* r-r-jne/rftriKaau.ZakL-npa dl Tune er Out...
