Full Program Slated For Dads; Meetings, Banquet on Saturday NUMBER 28 The Passing Show Italy’s Courts American Securities Frenchmen Scuffle Easterners Again By DARREL ELLIS II Dace's Justice With Italian lawyers to b< placed on the Fascist payroll, anc juries to be discarded in favor oi Fascist state committees, II Duct expects soon to complete a sweep ing absorption of the present Ital ian legal machine by the Fascist 'corporate state, informed sources revealed last night. Under the contemplated set-up, lawyers will be permitted to pre sent only the facts, doing away with extraneous legal oratory. It is expected that the number of practicing attorneys in Italy grad ually will be reduced because of their inclusion on the fascist pay roll. A Real Debate! When Premier Leon Blum yes terday rose to defend the hotly de bated war record of his minister of the interior, Roger Salengro, leftists and rightists, to say noth ing of left and rights, flew at each other with such fury that the ses sion of French chamber of depu ties was stopped. Later, however, after several minutes of flying fists mixed with books and invectives—the cham ber voted, by one of the largest majorities ever given the Blum government, to drop the campaign against Salengro. l\o sale Seeking to avoid dangerous con sequences resulting from foreign investors holding huge quantities of American securities, President Roosevelt yesterday requested the federal reserve board and the treasury to study methods of con trolling foreign purchases of do mestic securities. In issuing his request, the presi dent cited instances of recent for eign attacks on the franc, guilder, and the pound with the resultant upsetting of those currencies and the exchange rates of other cur rencies. Wrong Permit Apparently thinking he was ap plying for a permit to drive his automobile in Oregon, an eastern motorist yesterday went in to the state liquor store in Baker, filled out a permit and paid his 50 cents. When asked what liquor pur chases he wished to make, the easterner said, “Oh, I never drink anything. My wife won’t let me.” Sinclair’s Crucifixion?

The plan has been criticized be cause it is considered an unfair discrimination against' working students who are unable to devote much time to studies. College Enrollment A five per cent increase in total college enrollment throughout the United States over last year’s fig ures has been reported. The ex planations for this jump are prob ably: depression recovery, increas ing interest in educations, and the National Youth Administration— 171.000 college enrollees were on the NYA pay roll last year and at least 10,000 more this year. n omen s nights Amelia Earhart championed wo men’s right and ambitions in an address before the annual confer ence of business men at Wellesley recently. She urged that “women should strive for goals outside what is known as their sphere’’ and “not merely to follow in men’s steps.” 6,000 Miles in Model T | A 6,000-mile trip In a model T Ford truck is the boast of two! University of Kansas students. Be tween times in a three-months pe riod of wandering about in the west came 29 days of hay-making and 50 days of wheat harvesting. The two Kansas university men found the truck bed a very nice ho tel bed, also using it to carry the oil which had to be put in the car every 50 miles or so. The roof leaked, and rag rugs were effect- j ively used as curtains. ASU Auks 35-Cent Minimum For Student Jobs; Hits War, Administrative Inefficiency A 35-cent wage minimum for all student employees and “more edu cation, less administration” were unanimously endorsed by the term’s ! first meeting of the American Student union in Gerlinger hall. “It isn’t asking too much for employers to pay students at least 35 cents an hour,” said Charles Paddock, president of the organization. “As this has been the standard set by the federal appropriations through the National Youth Administration, students in other regular and odd jobs should have tho same decent wage.” in a statement released to the press last night Paddock said: “This year will see the rise of the lo cal ASU chapter to a dominant po sition on the campus. We are go ing ahead on all fronts—to estab lish a decent minimum wage for students; to expose administrative inefficiency and intimidation in the schools of the state; to build a bigger and better strike against war next spring; and, in general, to fill those needs felt by any lib eral student body. Fifty paid-up members by Christmas is our slogan.’’ Membership Drive Slated Bertrand C. Adams was named chairman of the membership com mittee which consists of Earleen Groblebe, Elaine Ellmaker, Muriel Nicholas, and Gordon Connelly. A special effort will be made to sign all working students .into member ship and all others interested in raising student wages, Paddock said. Membership in the national or ganization is 50 cents. An addi tional 50 cents will bring to the member nine copies of the Student Advocate, official publication of the liberal organization formed last year from all students who support in any detail the national program of the ASU. Program Planks Listed The program includes the fol lowing planks: It opposes American war prepa rations. It seeks abolition of the ROTC. It supports the Oxford pledge.

Browne, assistant < University physician, has been :onfined at his home for the last i .veek with sinus trouble. He is re- i aorted to be improving under the * lare and treatments of a local spe- i lialist. ( Asia to Arizona Is Rcute of Dish Fou nd in Nest It’s a long' road from Damas cus to Arizona, and one which may involve considerable inter est and complication, as was shown recently by the discovery of a brass dish. Some time ago, the daughter of Walter J. Perry, who is re tired from the U. S. forest serv ice, discovered a brass dish in a pack rat’s nest in Arizona. Mr. Perry sent a photograph of the plate to Dr. L. S. Cressman, cu rator of the anthropology mu seum at the University of Ore gon, for examination. Dr. Cress man guess it to be a dish of Per sian or Indian origin, but had no idea of its age. The picture was sent to Dr. Vaillant, curator of the Mexican division of the American Mu seum of Natural History, who was asked if the dish showed a Moslem influence of the Spanish in the southwest. He thought the plate was probably from Bagdad, but sent the picture to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for identification. The curator there examined the picture and said that the plate was probably from Jerusalem’or Damascus, and not over 30 or 40 years old. How did a dish from Damas cus find its way into the nest of an Arizona pack rat ? Well— who knows? It’s a long road from Damascus to Arizona. Yeomen Organize Men’s Glee Club First Meeting Attracts 25 Independent Singers; Griffith Is Director Optimistic after 25 men ap jeared for the first meeting of the ndependent men’s glee club being iponsored by the Yeomen, Glenn Griffith, director, predicted that ‘We will organize into a glee club vorthy of representing indepen lent men and the University of 5regon."

Organization will get under way i/ith the election of officers at a neeting Wednesday at 7:30 in the Y” hut. Don Fry ana Elwin My ick, pianist, are assisting Mr. Iriffith. Landsbury Confident In His ‘Fluent Fingers’ Dean John J. Landsbury of the University school of music settled back in his chair, put his feet on the piano stool, and grinned. “Having the one and only scientifically correct method of playing the piano, my fingers never lose their fluency,” he laughed. “And as for telling you how it feels to be going back on the stage after almost five years, I can tell you better after the concert.” Dean Landsbury will be presented in concert with the University symphony orchestra on Novem >er 23. He was born in Blair, Nebraska, vhere he received his early educa tion, and took his first degree at Simpson college in Indiana in 1900. rhere he studied mathematics, Herman, Greek, and psychology, ilthough he was interested pri narily in civil engineering. He re named there for graduate work and later went to Berlin studying nusic in Berlin university with rlerr Doctor Max Bruch, Otto EGischer, and many others. He returned to his alma mater and after a year was called to Baker university in Baldwin, Kan sas, where he became head of the departments of piano and compo sition. He came to Oregon in 1914 to reorganize the department of piano and to organize a department of composition. Later he was made dean of the school. He is also pro vince governor of Phi Mu Alpha, men’s music honorary. Dean Landsbury revealed that his chief hobbies are travel and young people. His “pet hate’’ is jazz and swing music. “Seriously, I am looking forward with genuine pleasure to getting back into the harness, even though it means burning the midnight oil.” I he said. Webfoot-Bear Battle Classes UO Underdogs Tough Aerial Barrage, Strong Line, Prayer Are Biggest Hopes of Mighty Oregon Oregon's Webfoots will attempt to rise from the musty Pacific coast conference cellar when they tangle with California's Golden Bears at Berkeley this afternoon. The works begin at 2 o'clock, and Oregon students can hear the game by turning on radio station KEX. California surprised the football w’orld last week by spilling South ern California's championship bound Trojans. Oregon at the same time was taking a drubbing from UCLA. Thus the Webfoots today are underdogs, expected to have little chance against Stub Allison's horde of veterans and reserves. The Oregon team which left for Berkeley was in no mood for love, however, and uppermost in the minds of the players was an upset —another startling of the gridiron world. Air Attack Certain When Prink Callison’s crew as saults the lair of the Bears this afternoon, a large part of Webfoot offensive hopes will be wrapped up in a passing attack. Ever since the Ducks first opened up over head in the Washington game, they have been tossing the ball around. Against the heavy Californians they must rely at least partially on the aerial attack which they have drilled upon all week in practice. Twelve times in the past Oregon and California have met on the gridiron. On eight of these occa sions the Bears have taken a win. Last fall, in the mud at Multnomah stadium, California edged out the Webfoots in a heart-breaker, 6 to 0. Double Win Motive Today the Oregon players have as a two-fold motive the avenging af some of those defeats and a rise from the basement depths. Prink Callison wasn’t certain about his starting lineup when he left, but it is likely that there will ae a few changes. Arleigh Bentley vho has played quarterback in re lent games, will probably start at ’ullback, with Don Kennedy at luarter. Jimmy Nicholson, Salem sophomore, is likely to start at left! ralf in place of Dave Gammon or 1 Dale Lasselle. Right half will be he veteran, Bob Braddock.

Last-ininute date bureau ser vice is still offered, and girls are urged to take advantage of their leap-year opportunities to se cure a date to the dance. Texas U Press Gets Censorship The Daily Texan, student news paper of the University of Texas, went under censorship of the Board Of Regents this fall, provoking a storm of protest which still has the campus in a lather. Editor Ed Hodge and his staff, with the aid of Congressman Maury Maverick and other well-known liberals, are fighting for revocation of the cen sorship. The Board of Regents edict said, “The editorial advisory committee shall have power to exclude libel ous material, improper personal attacks, reckless accusations, opin ion not based on fact, inaccurate statements, articles of national, state and local political questions, indecencies, material detrimental to good conduct of the student body, and material prejudicial to the best interests of the Univer sity." School Entrants Flood Conference Head With Papers With November 17 set as the final deadline date for entrance of all sample copies of papers from the high schools in the Oregon High School Press conference competition, entrances from many schools are being received by How ard Kessler, head of the confer ence. Judges have been selected from Sigma Delta Chi to determine the best six samples for final judging by members of the journalism fac ulty, who will select the winners in each of the five divisions of the contest. This year the winners of the va rious cups will be notified Novem ber 29 by means of the press wire less. No meeting is being held on the campus this year as it is not customary for the conference to meet at any given place in the odd numbered years. Chuck Is Loaded for Bear Coach Prince Gary Callison and Chuck Bracner, substitute Webfoot, who will pit their forces against the California Bears in Berkeley today in California Memorial stadium.
