“Who is the designer of the
new multi-colored “O” on Skin
ners butte?” is the question now
being asked by townspeople and
a few observing University stu
dents.
Som explanation is due—it all
started before the Stanford game
when a few enterprising Indians
added their touch of crimson and
white to the lemon “O” on the
butte.
If the freshmen don’t get onto
their job as guardians of it’s
colorfulness the beloved “O” will
soon resemble a color chart from
a local paint store. An orange,
black, crimson and white “O”
trimmed in lemon yellow will in
deed be enthusiastically received
by homecoming-grads.

Condemns Last
Minute Study
By ALYCE ROGERS
Further impetus for not having
to do that last cramming for fin
als was given school-weary colleg
ians today by Dr. Ruby L. Cun
ningham. University of California
physician for women, when she
said “If you want to get the best
possible marks on your final ex
ams, don’t study in long unbroken
stretches.”
She recommended some vigor
ous activity like a brisk walk or a
game of handball as a remedy for
the tiring effect that concentrated
study has on the eye muscles. Not
f only would this recreation refresh
the students physically, but it
would send him back to his books
with an entirely different attitude,
Dr. Cunningham stated.

"Opinions"
“Business and action strengthen
the brain but too much study
weakens it,” according to "Opin
ions” printed in the California
Daily Bruin.

Education Phoney
“Students today know that the
educational system is phoney.
What they are getting is a mass
of variegated and obsolescent in
J formation which is tossed at them
in an apparently unrelated form
and about which they do little if
any thinking,” according to Pres
ident Robert M. Hutchins of the
University of Chicago.

While speculation runs high as to whom will be his successor, Dr.
C. Valentine Boyer, University president, carries on his duties as his
three-year career as president draws to a close. Dr. Boyer made his
intention of retiring known last spring, and will continue as dean of
the college of arts and letters.

Selection Indirated
However, usually reliable sourc
es indicated that a new University
executive will be definitely chosen,
from a list of eligible educators
compiled by the University faculty
and Chancellor Hunter. Monday
the state board will undertake the
task of narrowing the list of five
or six candidates down to “the man
for the job.”
Although it has been rumored
that the list carried only the names
of out-of-state executives, it was
clearly indicated to Emerald re
porters last night that no line was
drawn between Oregon and out-of
state candidates when the faculty
advisory committee listed its can
didates.

Adds Old Piano
To Collection
The University school of music
has added another interesting mu
seum piece to its collection of
oddities.
This time it is an old, square
piano of huge proportions, esti
mated at an age from 80 to 100
years. The piano is thought to
have been brought to this part
of the country from around the
Horn.
Benjamin Dorris, the first
treasurer of the first board of
regents of the University, was
the owner of the instrument.
Since his death some time ago, it
has been in the possession of the

Difficulties of Decoration
A complete model of what McArthur court would look like if a
permanent decoration was put in use, has been constructed by Horace
W. Robinson, member of the educational activities board, who recently
announced his plan to give the old Igloo a "facial” for concerts, dances
and othe ASUO functions.
His plan was submitted at the request of the board, due to a ruling
Ui LX1C v il-jr
bidding the hanging of drapes from
the roof of McAarthur and because
of the continual expense of deco
rating the structure for functions
during the year.
Mr. Robinson's plan calls for the
purchase of a complete set of fa
bric decorating panels and the in
stallation of an eight unit lighting
system. The panels will be used
to decorate the walls and the lights
to “black out” the ceiling.
To Use Joint Funds
Under his plan the permanent
decorations, financed jointly by the
ASUO and the classes with money
they would generally allocate for
dressing up the Igloo, would be
available for all student functions.
The new system has added value,
says Mr. Robinson, because it en
ables three men to decorate the
Igloo in only 45 minutes.
The make-up of the panelled
drapes and lights which he hopes
to install allows for unlimited vari
ations thus enabling class, ASUO
organization decorators to have
Fin original setting for every affair.
Ruling Works Hardship
The ruling of the athletic board,
according to the assistant profes
sor of drama, will make it neces
sary to string sables across the
court if anyone desires to put in a
canopy as decoration. This will
make it difficult to get an attrac
tive effect.
The value of the permanent deco
rations, Mr. Robinson points out, is
that expense will be greatly re
duced, work will be reduced, and
the difficulty of putting up trim
mings without hanging them from
the roof will be overcome.

ROTC Ranks Here
The ranks of the ROTC staff

Halsey, formerly stationed with

Sergeant Halsey was selected by

from Ea Grande high school and
went into the army immediately
afterwards.

Pedesterian Injured
In Campus Accident
BULLETIN
The injured man was identified
late last, night as Carl Lund, 1HH5
Onyx, about 50 years old.
An unidentified man was critic
ally injured last night about eight
o’clock at the corner of thirteenth
and Alder when he was struck by
a car driven by Kenneth Randall,
24, Eugene.
According to college student wit
nesses of the accident, the man
started across the Thirteenth street
intersection and stepped directly in
the past of Randall's car. He was
thrown several feet by the impact
of the car, witnesses said. Ran
dall is not being held, city police
said last night.
Attendants at Sacred Heart hos
pital announced that his condition
was serious. They described his as
, about sixty years old, 170 pounds,
five feet four or five, smooth shav
en, partially bald and having sev
era fingers missing from both
hands.
He was wearing house slippers,
a gray sweater and an old gray
hat. Radio calls over station
KORE, Eugene, had not produced
any leads to his identity, police
said.
Webfoots Hope to Be
Initial Crackers of
Zag's Uncrossed
Goal Line
Coach Prink Callison's charges
will take the field in Spokane this
afternoon in what Webfoot follow
ers think will be the first success
ful attempt to cross the Gonzaga
Bulldog’s goal line this season.
The Zag's forward wall, men
tored by Coach Mike Pecarovich,
has pulled through two tough
games, first Washington State’s
Cougars and last Sunday the Mo
raga Marauders, unpunctured.
There are five men on the Zag
line that are two year lettermen.
Captain Rus Habermann, rangy
180-pounder, whose specialty Is
diagnosing plays, is at left guard.
Experienced Tackles
Coach Pecarovich is fortunate in
having two experienced men hold
ing down tackle positions. Cecil
Kennedy, 225-pound Idaho lumber
jack, is at one of the all-important
tackle positions, and is being boom
ed for all-coast tackle.
Jack Imhoff, at right tackle,
while a weak blocker, possesses a
lot of fight, which is necessary for
good defensive tackle. John Jans
sen, who last year dropped out of
school because of an automobile
injury, is back this year, and is
expected to go places. He was con
sidered Gonzaga’s best end before
his untimely accident.
Peyron at Right Guard
The only other veteran in the
line is Henry Peyron at right
guard. At 190 pounds, Hank is
one of the Zag’s best down-field
blockers and a “Bulldog” on de
fense.
Ray Vanderzander, Oregon Nor
mal transfer, is slated to be the
starting center. Vanderzander won
his first string job by performing
brilliantly during spring practice.
In the baekfield are Henry
“Scooter” Haug, who was an all
city back in Seattle, at quarter
back; Fred Kennedy, formerly on
the Oregon squad, but dropped for
scholastic reasons, at quarterback,
and will include backing up the line
among his duties. The other half
back is Dick “General” Beaure
gard, 180-pound blocking back at
right half.
Kuramatic Good
Fullback, George Karamatic. Op
posing doaches read that line and
literally weep. Slip Madigan, coach
of the St: Mary’s Gaels, solved the
problem by putting three men on
the Aberdeen Slav. What the Ore
gon plans were, was not disclosed
by Coach Callison. Karamatic is
more than just a ball carrier of
the Cotton Warburton type. He
not only runs, but he kicks, passes,
bucks the line, and plays safety. In
more than two years of varsity
competition, Karamatic has con
verted 17 out of 21 after-touch
down-placekicks. Last year against
St. Mary’s he gained more ground
than the whole Fordham university
baekfield.
Keginuto Will Start
According to Coach Callison’s *
statement at train time, he intend
ed to start John Yerby and Vic
Reginato at ends, Bill Foskett and
Ellroy Jensen, at tackles, Cece
Walden and Joe Huston at guards,
and Vernon Moore at center.
While Callison named a tenta
tive starting baekfield yesterday
before he left, he also stated that
it was not at all definite. The four
starters he named yesterday were
