Vernstrom, manager LeRoy Mattingly, managing editor _ Day editor: Assistant day editor: Desk Staff This Issue Elizabeth Stetson Corricne Antrim Night editors: Jack Townsend Night Staff Thi3 Issue Assistants: Marge Finnegan Mary Kay Booth Not a Bit Envious r-pjiE University and its rival institution OSC need neither of them be envious that the traditional spirit that marks their annual bi;r game was not expressed in the violence that accompanied tin* similar set-to between California and Stanford last weekend. A couple of nights before the southern civil war a mob of Stanford gentlemen is reported to have overwhelmed the Califor nians guarding the big “C" at, Berkeley, bru tally slugging two ol the guards into un consciousness. slopping the emblem with red paint and filing baek to the farm, proud of their night's depredations. Wisely refraining from a retaliatory mis sion to Palo Alto Berkeley rooters never theless let their pre-game fever nm so out of control that 12 of their number wound up in the clink charged with pulling down a 550 volt trolley wire, striking spectators, building bonfires in the streets, tipping automobiles over, turning in false fire alarms, and pilfer ing equipment from fire engines. # # # C() far as we have learned the excited spirits ^ of the Ducks and Beavers found a vent no more violent than the spreading of a little paint. Maybe we're just a big sissy, but we regard the. sanity with which our big-game celebration came off as conducive to the mu tual respect that is becoming evident in the relations of the two Oregon schools. A spirit of cooperation, mingled of course with the rivalry natural to two schools only 40 miles apart, is of such value to both institutions that it should never be endangered by violent, con flict between the two student bodies. He Couldn’t Take It JJOBACE P. Slugg may bo the tool of all writers who have nightmares and don’t want to admit it—yessir, 11. 1\ may be a tool but he's nobody’s fool. But let Horace tell yon in his own elite Way of the idea which came to him out of the haze Of a homecoming (Corvallis) hangover which he lays to a tap on the sconce. “1 could see that big rook wasn't fooling when lie said he was going to pat my pro boscis with that goal post, so 1 ducked and then it all came to me. * # # “'yyilKN this round-robin football setup was inaugurated, it. was supposed to eliminate a couple of weak sisters, give the Coast a tight football loop comparable, per haps, to the Big Ten, and draw in more of ‘those - who - make - scalpers - wealthy’ at tlve gate. From the looks of the thing right, now, the moguls made a mistake in picking on Montana, for the boys from Missoula are go ing to town after a late start. Anyway, it’s obivous that the 38-to-O and 28-to-0 games are still with us, with Oregon’s two teams on the short end of this season’s liig whing dings. “Limiting the squads would send more men who really wanted to play ball to the northern schools and would also keep down t host' last minute touchdown festivals, a la southern style. However, opinion in general seems 1o be that this wouldn’t give the big boys a lair chance, so, you know me, I came out scrapping with a few more Suggestions. # • • “JC'lliST, no matter what tho do or die mo tives of the players, the schools are in Ibis business for the mazuma involved. Next to some good publicity such as an annual in vestigation of the hoys’ amateur standing brings, there's nothing like close games to draw them past the pay booths in droves. “With this in mind, wouldn't it be a good idea for the southern schools to help the nor thern colleges out a little on the financial side ? 11’ Cal. 1 St Ft 'LA. and St unford would each donate tjifi.OOO, Oregon and OSC could install some darn good ball tutors up here and the big boys would get the sum invested back many times over in increased gates caused by the assurance to tight games. Strict ly business, that's us. “If this one stumps the boys or makes their graduate managers howl, how about stopping this ‘lack of material’ beef which arises annually by allowing transferring v ith no loss of eligibility' and an annual coaches free trading meet. Then Stub Allison could say to Prink Callison: ‘Look here, Prink, I'm ten deep in backs for the next three years but I need a good linesman. I 'll give you three backs and a Phi Bete, all with one year more to play, for this boy Jensen( with three years to go) and a lady cheer leader.’ # # # “'I‘‘IIIS obviously has its merits. True, base ball has it and the Athletics are in the cellar but the roeks Cornelius MaeOillieurldy made getting there would warm any gradu ate manager’s heart. “Maybe this suggestion doesn't click, though. In that ease, how about making the field 103 yards long, giving one point for each first down, one for crossing the 50. which is one yard wide, two for crossing the oppo nent’s 20, also one yard wide, and six for crossing the goal. With a run from your own forty for a touchdown and a successful Con version, you could score ten at once instead of seven, and the score would look Tike the card ou a thirty-six hole golf match. “This would obviously work out without lengthening the field but the rule would have to pass the conference meeting so we threw in tin; three yards to give the coaches and Dana something to srpiabble over. fileVer, eh old top. * * “ jy>NT go. Tiro lYatfc was just beginning to lift when this one cairn' to me. Ore gon scored only seven points in conference piny, but played a goodly portion of her games inside the opponent 's 20-yard line, in stead of lengthening the field, we could cut it off at the twenty, leaving it the same length as usual, lines and end zone and all, and when the boys were fooled into scoring before being stalled on the 3 or 4, a set of attendants could wheel the goal posts up for the conversion. “None of those big scores Were piled up in the first halves of the games this year. There fore, we could have closer games by counting or playing only one half. Again, this wouldn t be fair to the schools which boast four teams, so We could shake a number, either one or two, out of a hat before the game, hide the number, and then after the regulation length playing period, count the half indicated by the number. Y next suggestion might involve head-, lines like this one: ‘Cal Tech Wins Championship by Not-Scoring Most Points.’ That counts in 48-point type and almost any name could lm substituted. “I3y the time anyone has plowed through a mass of complicated suggestions like these, anything simple ought to appeal to the coast moguls. We could move the goal lines down to the fifty-yard line, give the coaches a bat apiece and let them go at it, and save money by keeping both teams at home to play the game by a system similar to correspondence chess.-’ They took poor old Horace P. Slngg hack to Salem. His last suggestion, as they strap ped him in the straight-jacket, was to limit squads to 25 men, let them all play at the same time and substitute from among the rally committee.

You grant me that coeds have lost their indi- | virtuality, as propounded in my rather unfortunate ! article, "The Coed Mold." Thank you. I. in turn, grant you that the males are moldy, too, as your letter explained in Saturday’s Emerald. But you misunderstand me. It is not the excellent personal character quali ties that students have an opportunity to acquire at college that I find fault with. It is the regulated outward manner which both coeds and men affect (or are toid to affect, as the case may bei that I object to. I am glad that your unruly freshman is now a sophomore, “quiet, polite, courteous, thoughtful, and will even obey reasonable commands." That is fine. There is no more loyal supporter of good old fraternity slam meetings as a method for tak ing undesirable personal traits out of a freshman than I. That much-overworked upperclassman phrase, "I don't like his attitude" really does ac complish a powerful amount of good. But I can't see why we must all act alike and we do act alike, as anyone who will observe stu dent behavior at any social or public function can easily see. Must our personalities, which are ex pressed in our manner, all follow the same regu lated pattern? You say that those conforming to the mold will be strange fish or fowl when they have left col lege and are mixing with ordinary people. And yet, Howard, I don't believe that a man gives himself an individual personality by stepping into a different environment. He may be considered the college type-not an individualist. Bob Powell Geologists Show (Continued from f\iyc one) and delta deposits —is rapidly be coming evident. Already a small river is rushing towards the bay. carrying with it immense butil dors of perhaps one-eight of on inch in diameter. The soil in some areas is being worn away, exposing red clay. Soon, the formation of a delta in the bay Will be seen. The experiment will be con tinued to the end .if the year. By that time, a very different looking “country” will have been formed, a delta will be erected at the mouth of the miniature river, harbors will result, and the work of thousands of years will be reproduced in a few short weeks. The Season Changes Paddock and Prescott Give First Forum Talks Charles Paddock, representing the Socialist party on the University of Oregon campus, and Bob Pres cott, former head of the Liberty league, spoke on “What Constitutes a 100 Percent American1’ at the first meeting of the fall open forum series in the court house Monday evening. The program was opened by a group of selections by the WPA band under the direction of E. G. Dykstra. A general discussion fol lowed the speeches. The open forum series were started during the summer by George C. Berreman, head of the Lane county adult education pro gram, and were held in the Skinner Butte park. Minnesota May (Continued from page one) P. Long has anything on W. A. Mann, a pre-law student at the University of Texas. Sunday he completed sixteen hours and ten minutes of gruelling oratory “just to beat Huey's record.” Six stu dents bet him $10 that he couldn’t talk at one stand longer than Huey Long’s filibuster record of sixteen hours, made by the Kingfish in 1935 when he bitterly opposed the appropriation for the social secur ity bill. Mann accepted the bet, and just to make it tougher than Huey's he avoided talking about the same subject twice or reading any ma terial. He limited himself on each subject from 10 minutes to one hour. Mann, during his record- set ting discourse, covered everything from religion to government. Sun day morning between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock he appropriately delivered “a darn good sermon,” as one student put it.

Student Activities {Continued from farje one) ties manager in their respective fields. Councils to Advise The four councils of the educa tional activities board—namely, forensics, music and lyceum, pub lications and student welfare—will act in an advisory capacity. In the old set-up the various committees dealing with extra-cur ricular activities were provided ex plicitly in the ASUO constitution and were appointed by the presi dent of the student body, subject to the approval and regulation of the executive council. Under the new plan, as provided in the revised ASUO constitution last spring, the conduct of student activities is placed under the su pervision and regulation of the president of the University, who has delegated his powers to the . athletic and educational activities I boards, composed of both students and faculty members. Executives Important The student executive commit tee, provided for in the new con stitution, is assured of an import ant role in student government. It will determine student body fees, appoint editors and business mana gers of the Emerald and the Ore gana, determine awards to be giv en students participating in student activities, choose yell leaders, and appoint managers of student func tions. The student executive commit tee is composed of the president, the first and second vice-presidents and the secretary-treasurer of the student body, the president of the Associated Women students, the editor of the Emerald, and the dean of men. who will act as adviser. During the present year only, the junior finance officer and senior woman will serve on the commit tee. Under the new plan the educa tional activities board and the ath letic board will determine the gen eral policies in their two fields, but they will invite the student execu tive committee to sit with them in an advisory capacity when issues of particular student interest are being determined. Recommendations from the stu dent executive committee will be given no publicity until they have been considered by the athletic board or the educational activities board, whichever has requested them. The four councils of the educa tional activities board, which are made up of both students and fac ulty members, may make recom mendations at any time to the board, and the board or the mana ger of educational activities, on their part, may seek advice from the councils. The councils may sit alone or with the educational board, as circumstances may war rant. Here again, as in the case of the student executive commit tee, no publicity will be given such advice until it has been considered by the board. Fees Situation Told The student executive commit tee will determine fees upon the joint recommendation of the ath letic board and the educational ac tivities board. Activities fees will be set during spring term, after new student officers have been in stalled for the ensuing year. In order to coordinate the work of the various groups, the presi dent of the University, Dr. Boyer, has agreed to the recommendation of the organizational committee to appoint members of the student executive committee to activities boards and councils, wherever it cf>regon^f€*meralD The Oregon Daily Emerald, official student publication of the University of Oregon, Eugene, published daily during the college year exvept Sundays.
