Give Emerald
Top Ranking
R. C. Hall Gets New
Headline Type for
University Paper;
Features Added
With this issue the Oregon Daily
Emerald presents to 3,000 Web
foots a collegiate daily ranking as
one of the most modern on the
Pacific coast, due to an array of
innovations which have been com
pleted.
Today's paper, printed with the
new type faces, secured this term
through the efforts of Robert C.
Hall, director of the University
press, represents the addition of
the last new feature promised
readers earlier this year.
Equals Toast’s Best
In this, the publishers of the
Emerald have succeeded in giving
to the Oregon campus a paper
which will compare with the best
offered by the collegiate press of
the coast, according to typographi
cal and journalistic experts of the
campus.
In acquiring a complete new set
of headline type the Emerald is
following the trend toward mod
ernism that has been characteriz
ing American newspapers during
the past years. The two main
Types used, Tower and Stymie, rep
resent the best offered by the
American Type Founders as to leg
ibility and pleasing appearance.
Other innovations which have
already been added to the Emer
ald in this, its fortieth year of pub
lication, are pictorial coverage of
the campus and a new selection of
columnar comment. *
College Tax
Evasion Will
Go to Court
By ALYCE ROGERS
In an attempt to avoid a 10 per
cent tax on sports events, a num
ber of colleges have redefined foot
ball as a “function essential to gov
ernment functioning.” By this defi
nition, the declare the tax uncon
stitutional. Secretary of the Trea
suary Morgenthau, however, is pre
paring to take the issue to the
supreme court.
Coeds Go Masculine
Northwestern university coeds at
Chicago rapidly are stealing the
thunder of the N.U. masculine ele
ment. Not content with affecting
plaid shirts and N.U. beer jackets,
they finally have resorted to wear
ing the freshman’s badge of honor
-—the green cap. From seniors
down to freshmen, all are sporting
the new “calots.” “No matter how
you spell them or what you call
them,” declare irate males in re
ferring to the popular skull caps,
“they’re still freshman caps.”
Sorority on Probation
Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority
at Oregon State college has been
placed on probation for the winter
and spring terms of this year for
alleged violation of rushing rules,
the panhellenic council announced
in the campus “Barometer.” The
penalty imposed is not being al
lowed to rush or pledge additional
members during the probation per
iod.
Cooperation of
Library Users
Urged by Sawyei
Ethel R. Sawyer, in charge o!
the browsing room at the library
yesterday urged cooperation ol
students in forming the policies
which will govern the use of ths
room during the school year.
The room is at present serving
as a display room for all new books
received at the library. In this waj
students and faculty are given s
chance to read and glance througl
the new books before they are pu
in circulation. At present bott
magazines and books in the roorr
may be taken from the library. I
is up to the students whether o
not they would rather have nev
books kept in the browsing roon
for a period of about two weeks
or let new books out for genera
circulation right away.
Miss Sawyer would like to kee;
a really “live” collection of book
on hand all the time in the brows
ing room, arranged according t
subject matter, and all easily ac
cessible to the students.
The Pauline Potter Homer col
lection of books is now on exhibi
in the browsing room. From tim
to time other collections will b
displayed.

China War Opening
By PHIL BLADINE
Professor Ray P. Bowen and Associate Professor D. D. Gage, of
the University of Oregon faculty, were both in the vicinity of Peking,
China, July 8, 1937, when the opening shots of the present Sino
Japanese conflict were fired at the Marco Polo bridge, six miles from
Peking.
Professor Bowen had arrived in Peking July 4 on a tour of the
Orient, Dr. Gage was on the Blue
Express passenger train between
! Nanking and Peking when hostili
ties broke out. The express was
held overnight at Tientsin, a two
hour run from Peking, on the even
ing of the. incident because of
trouble along the line.
“About 10 o’clock that night a
small detachment of Japanese in
the vicinity of Fengtai encountered
a part of the Chinese 29th army
and one of the forces opened fire,
starting the war,’’ Dr. Gage re
ported.
“News of the fighting was re
ceived on the train and we were
held at Tientsin. The next morning
i it took us five hours to cover the
ordinarily short run to Peking.
. Tension and confusion were ap

. any idea of the possibility of war
or the intensity of the situation,"
. he says.
Professor Bowen tells,, “I was

Barristers to Have
Fling at 'Smoker'
Faculty Will Be Hosts
At Affair October
13; for Men Only
The annual law school “smoker,"
highlight of the fall social season
For-yearling barristers, and big time
fall bv the law school faculty, is
scheduled for October 13.
The “smoker,” sponsored each
fall by the la wschool faculty, is
held to introduce the plebe lawyers
to the more advanced second! and
third year students, and also to
acquaint first year students with
members of their faculty. Each
class presents a skit.
Last year the faculty surprised
even themselves with a farcical
take-off of “Themselves,” i.e. . . .
a typical faculty meeting. What
thev will pull from their law
shelves this year is still a mystery.
Committees organizing skits for
the various classes are: Dave Silven
and George Neuner, third year
class; Mel Rooney and Jim Quinn,
second year-group; and Ken Abra
ham and Joe Devers, first year fel
lers.
Hall Completes
Frosh Election,
Meeting Plans
New Set-up Will Try
To Eliminate Party
Vote Wrangling
Final plans were completed yes
terday for the new plan of nomina
tion and election to be held Wed
nesday night at 7:30 in Villard hall,
according to Barney Hall, ASUO
president.
Less Red Tape
In an attempt to do away with
as much of the party vote-wrangl
ing and bloc planning as possible,
the new set-up will have the whole
business completed in one meeting.
In past years, according to Hall,
the party actions have set off some
dangerous and slightly shady fire
works before the time of elections.
Under Hall's plan, membership
cards will admit frosh classmen to
the assembly hall and give each
one ballot. After as many nomina
tions are made from the floor as
the frosh want to run on either
party or independent tickets, the
selection will be held.
Plan Is Reform
The new frosh election plan, put
forth by Hall and approved by
Dean Earl, is the first sweeping
reform in class politics to be
brought about since the spring
term elections.
Hall announced that he will
recommend that the newly organ
ized class take up as its first busi
ness the adoption of a constitution
to enable it to run. Such a docu
ment, the center of much wrangl
ing was formed by the last frosh
class, but was tabled last spring
to be decided upon by this new
class. At present the class is run
ning without any legal standing, as
there is no provision in the ASUO
by-laws to govern any class action.
'Yes, I Was a Nobody
ThenOpportunity...'
By MORITZ THOMSEN
When I went to the game last Saturday, I was just a nobody, I
was suffering from an inferiority complex, and I was afraid to look
people in the eye, but now, at last I’m a big shot.
Self consciously I slunk into the stadium last Saturday afternoon
and took an unobtrusive seat in the last row. Little did I realize the
gift that fate wo’uld throw my way. Little did I know then, how my
popularity would increase.
The game stopped after the first
thirty minutes of play, and because
I was feeling so self conscious, I
decided to get up and slink out
before the others, but just as I
passed the Oregon cheer section, I
noticed something that set my
heart afluteer. Two students
in white sweaters were sit
ting on the steps weeping. Con
quering my fear, I sidled up to
one of them and in a low embar
rassed voice I asked what was the
trouble.
Their low moans floated to me in
the warm fall breeze.
“Our yells are coming off in a
minute, and there aren’t enough
guys with white shirts to cover up
the cards.”
In one swift moment the plan of
lifa was made clear to’ me. Draw

Cells Perforated
The cells which are perforated,
have abnormally large granules,
and stain a darker blue than nor
mal, are discussed fully in Dr. Os
good’s new book, “Atlas of Hem
atology.”
In his book Dr. Osgood also dis
cusses new discoveries which sup
port the theory that leukemia, a
fatal blood disease, is allied with
cancer. Enlarged nucleoli within
the neclei is typical of leukemia
cells and cancer tissue, the book
states.
Invented “Bone Glass”
Osgood is inventor of the Osgood
"bone glass,” which combines the
functions of kidneys, lung, and
blood stream. The instrument,
used in laboratory study, makes it
possible to culture living cells out
side the body.
While Dr. Alexis Carrel and
Colonel Charles Lindbergh’s “arti
