Welcome Dads!
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.

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.

Tune er
Out...
By BOB POLLOCK
Friday the 13th ... all day . . .
but it doesn’t seem to affect the
radio programs . . like always on
Fridays, they’re uniformly good.
We recommend, first: Fred War
ing and his Pennsylvanians at 9
. . . KGW . . . listen to him for an
hour and you're all set for the
house dance, Jeff Beach, or a tus
tle with Taussig and his theories on
economics.
Next: Jesse ..Crawford . . .
comes from Chicago, and may
not reach (he coast, but try
KGW or KEN around 9:30. La
beled the “Poet of the Organ,”
he is sometimes guilty of produc
ing doggerel . . . but tonight
he'll have lo be good . . . it’s
Friday the 13th.

gar bill runs close to $3 per day,
or around $1,000 a year . . . Char

2oe Turner, who flies muzzled lion
