Greek Council Would Renew Campus Rules Turf Trodders, Smokers Aim of House Heads’ Action; Simultaneous Elections Sought Re-emphasis of all beneficial campus customs, as staying off the grass, no smoking on the cam pus, and attendance at assemblies was planned yesterday by the in terfraternity council in a meeting at Gerlinger hall. Members of the organization agreed on the need for observance of such ideas and decided to have each house president ask the mem bers of his fraternity to cooperate in the move. Compulsion was not favored. Left to Houses In the other important action of the meeting the house presi dents agreed that support of the Hayward field turfing project should be left to individual houses. Because the degree of financial support extended depends on the individual, the group decided to leave it that way. Action was taken at the meeting toward getting all houses on the campus to have their elections at the same time. This plan would take effect next year, and is being made so the personnel of the inter fraternity council would shift in one movement, instead of at inter mittent times. Pledges Kept All Year In regard to automatic release of pledges, it was decided that only at the end of the school year would a man be considered dropped. Thus, unless release cards were sent out, any man pledged during the year would remain a pledge (unless initiated, of course) throughout the year. Particularly under question was a possible case of pledging fall term and dropping sejiool winter term. Should the man then come back to school spring term, he would still be re garded as a pledge. Informal discussion meetings, in addition to regular dinner meet ings, were planned. At these sessions mutual problems of >anh ing and pledge training would be discussed. Cotton Blossom Singers To Entertain VVesleyans Wesley club will have a special guests the five Cotton Blossom singers and their accompanist. The singers will give a concert Sunday at the Vesper service at 5:15 and then will speak at the Wesley club meeting at 6:15. They will de scribe work being done in the Piney Woods school, and discuss race problems. Pearl Paddock andi Burt Adams are in charge of the social hour which follows the meeting. r i ‘Mathematics’ Is Topic of Meeting That mathematics is more than just bothersome figures ami in volved theorems will be illustrated at the next meeting of Pi Mu F.p silon, mathematics honorary, on1 Wednesday, February 3, in Peady hall, when two papers treating popular phases of the science will [ be read. "Japanese Mathematics,” is the title of a paper to be read by Elisabeth McGirr. Ted Russell will talk on" The Mathematics Curricu lum.” Both Miss McGirr and Mr. Russell are student members of the honorary. The meeting will begin at 7:30. A short business meeting will pre cede the talks. Oregon’s chapter of Pi Mu Ep silon has initiated 129 members since it was established in 1931, E. E. DcCou, permanent secretary of the chapter, was informed by a letter from national headquarters last week. Much interest in mathe- i matics and its allied sciences has been promoted by the honorary, Professor DeCoti said. Lowry, Skinner Named Co-Heads Of Frosh Frolic Philip Lowry and Charles Skin ner were appointed co-chairmen of Frosh Frolic, annual freshman dance to be held February 27, John Dick, class president, announced yesterday.

Former Student (] o m m e n t s on Philippine Chief Reuel S. Moore, former Oregon student, United Press bureau chief in Manila for the past five years, visited the campus Wednesday on his way to England where he will work in the London office of the organization. Mr. Moore expressed admiration for Manuel Quezon and the new Philippine administration. He de clined to make any predictions as to the political future of the is lands. While on the campus, Mr. Moore was one of the founders of the lo cal fraternity which became Theta Chi. He wrote the Theta Chi na tional song.

At least as far as the campus lost and found department is concerned ‘‘the lost is found”; for since the auc tion last November this depart ment has found over a hundred articles of varied descriptions. Should some patient Romeo be still awaiting' that long prom ised sweater, let him advise Ju liet to make a trip to the lost and found department to reclaim it and struggle on. The hatless men on this campus might, too, find their protection in this de partment; and surely those near sighted fellows who have been struggling to read their hundred page assignments would find it easier if they went to claim their glasses. Or those who have no books might find it easier to make a four-point if they found their books. A candid camera long covered with lost and found dust might still catch rare scenes if only its owner would claim it. Many valuable articles are awaiting owners at the lost and found department located in the depot—hats, gloves, scarfs, note books, overcoats, sweaters, pipes, compact, pens, and galoshes.

Tomorrow’s leaders “It is from this smallest group our leaders of tomorrow will come,’’ Mr. Cameron pointed out using il lustrations of bankers, musicians, and ship builders who, although poverty stricken in the early years of life, overcame difficulties of ob taining suitable education bv per severance and today control Wall street, fiddle before kings, and have ceremonies dedicated to them. “Many of you came to college with a definite purpose, that of ob taining the background to soar higher than your parents have. The rest in our schools are there to loaf or gain social status. I think the best answer is to clean our schools out, doing away with those who fill the classrooms with no purpose ahead," continued Mr. Beck. Friend of Hunter Out of the 20 years he has been with Wall street, Mr. Beck has spent 17 as the personnel manager of the stock exchange. He super vises a school that trains high school graduates for the banking world. At present there are 2,500 enrolled and 1,500 others taking a correspondence course under this division. Cameron Beck came to the Uni versity after speaking before the student body of Oregon State col lege Wednesday. Mr. Beck was introduced by Chancellor Frederick M. Hunter. The two have been friends for years, Mr. Hunter said. Mr. and Mrs. Beck were luncheon guests at the chancellor's home Thursday noon. Robert Garretson (Continued from page one) III Humoresque .

U of W Professor (Continued from page one) erative offices were removed from the university payroll. The dismissal of the 26-year-old English professor, who called the university an “academic sweat shop” for working him 60 hours a week for $1100 a year, was expect ed to result in a demand by “lib eral” professors for an investiga tion of alleged intimidation of pro fessors on the campus.

Ejection Injunction The “sit-downers” who have camped within the walls of two Fisher body plants in Flint, Michi ! gan, have taken unlawful posses sion of the factories, according to General Motors officials who are seeking an injunction prohibiting further stay by their “former em ployes.” Representatives of the United Automobile Workers of America have been directed to appear in court Monday to show just cause why the injunction should not be granted. Colonel Leader (Continued from pope one) Professionalism is, after all, just a matter of spirit. If a man con centrates on one sport he’s a pro i-■—■—■— fesslonal, regardless of whether or not he collects any money for it.” English Athletes Equal Colonel Leader quickly dispelled the notion that there is a stigma i attached to the professional ath-1 lete in England, however. “No, he I isn’t looked down on there. True, I in the club house there may be two doors, one for the amateur, one for the professionals. But as they j leave, it is only a matter of a few : steps until they walk along to- j gether, chatting and talking. It’s just the tradition of the thing. The professionals ask for it just as much as the amateurs. Returning once more to Ameri cans in sport, Colonel Leader stressed the fact that Englishmen play games and take part in ath letics to a much greater extent than the Americans. “Practically every Englishman." he said, ‘‘plays games till he is fifty or over. And not just one game, but several. And not the type of game the youth of America concentrates on. Football Not Game of Skill ‘‘Football and basketball are J simply gladiatorial contests, that's all,” said Colonel Leader. ‘‘I'd much rather see two good teams of American youths hurl themselves at each other than to see the good Christian thrown to the lions. But —they’re not games of skill. Be cause what good,” he asked, ‘‘is a game which you can’t play after you’re twenty-five?” Once on the subject of college sports, Colonel Leader unburdened a clear-cut opinion of them. "Speaking of professionalism,” he declared, “this is it. I’d like to see an end of all this rot and hypocrisy about paying the ath letes in college. They’re all paid. You know it and I know' it. Why not come out in the open with it? Athletes Should Be Paid “If I had my way,” the Colonel continued. "I’d pay every athlete in the school and do it openly and above board.” Colonel Leader was high in his praise of American sportsmanship, saying that Englishmen always like to come across to play polo or rugby here in the states. “Friends of mine have told me often,” he said, “that they love to ilfaValueof ,v Good JEycsi^klr Mid-Term | I means studying, and that means using your eyes.
