The Girl They Left Behind When Oregon bandmcn marched onto the field for the Washington State-Oregon game some weeks ago, Mary Ellen Williams, at that time drum-majoress for the outfit, was not present. “Advice” from Univer sity authorities changed her mind about participating. Last w'eek Miss Williams’ new uniform arrived. Efforts are now being made to sell the uniform to a Eugene high school for their drum-majoress, it was reported. Affairs Board Hears Plan forEnlargemen t; A waits Presiden t's OK Tentative plans to creat an enlarged student affairs board to work in co-ordination with the educational activities, athletic, and executive coucil boards in directing student activities were discussed yesterday at a meeting of the affairs board in Dean Schwering’s office. The plans, if adopted by the committee and approved by President C. Valentine Boyer, would place the committee on a par with other Theta Chis, Delts • Have JointDinner The Theta Chis and Delta Taus split their ranks last night and met in upper and lower class “friend ship” dinners at their two houses. The upper classmen of both houses dinod in comradeship at the Delt house, while their respec ~ tive pledges and lower classmen sang each others praises over the Theta Chi table. The affair was planned and ex ecuted under the direction of lower class politicos Clayton Ellis, Delt; and Hugh Collins, Theta Chi. “It’s to get the boys of the two l ouses better acquainted with each other and cement the traditional (Please turn tn paae four) Students' Must Pay for Part in California Riot By ALYCE ROGERS Three University of California students faced the alternative of paying $200 each in fines or spend ing 100 days in jail for participat > ing in rioting last Friday night on the eve of the annual football game between California and Stanford university. They also faced possible discip linary action from the university, for Dr. C. E. Goldsworthy, assist ant dean of men, sat throughout the hearing before Jolice Judge Oliver Youngs yesterday and took copious notes on the proceedings. A total of $1500 in fines was assessed on those appearing before the jurist. Four non-students re ceived the $200-or-100-day penalty and others received lesser fines. "Honey/' or "Chum?" If the boy friend secretly calls you a “queen,” a “honey,” or “pret ty swell c. d. (campus date),” it means he really likes you. But if y he refers to you as “chum,” “fel low,” “babe,” or “cute kid,” you have reason to worry. A campus symposium at the University of Washington disclosed that the men think the “cute kid” type as a pal or a little sister. A “chum” is a coed you can tell your troubles to, and a “babe” is usually the girl that shows up on a blind date. Queens Limited. Kent State university’s student council in Ohio has decided there are too many campus queens. A resolution limits the number elected in any one year to three, thus leaving only the following < titles to achieve; Homecoming queen, queen of the May, and Miss Kent State. The thrones of smile queen, pig skin queen, and junior-senior prom queen have been abolished. student-faculty boards in directing student affairs. Student control would be extend ed, according to Barney Hall, ASUO prexy, and member of the board. The board will be enlarged to 12 members, equally divided between the faculty and students, which will have jurisdiction over ques tions such as the recent drum ma joress controversy and disciplining wayward sorority pledges. The action of the educational activities board in bringing large orchestras for campus dances such as the recent Paul Whiteman af fair will have to be approved by the affairs board in the future also, if the plans are adopted and ap proved by President Boyer. Hall said last night that the board under the new set-up would be more apt to give a definite cam pus opinion on student affairs and controversies. An increasing need for some agreement between the numerous student-faculty committees as to who had the ‘‘last word" and what committee controlled the various affairs was cited as the reason for drawing up the plans. If the plans are adopted by the present affairs board, they will be submitted to the University presi dent when he returns to the cam pus for his suggestions or ap proval. Nominees for 'Ideal' Couple Are Selected Students Will Choose From Four Couples Tuesday in Front oi College Side Eight Oregon students, who will vie at the polls next Tuesday for the title of "ideal student couple” were named in campus nomina tions yesterday. The coeds chosen are: Gladys Battleson, Rhoda Armstrong, Iso belle Miller, and Marjorie Bates.

Meeting Called for Ski Fanciers; UO Club to Be Formed Dean Leighton announced yes terday that anyone interested in skiing is invited to attend the first meeting of the winter sports en thusiasts, next Tuesday at 7:15 in the auditorium room of the men’s physical education building. A club will be formed for Uni versity students and will in that way eliminate the necessity of col lege students signing up with lo cal clubs who have no definite sports program. There also exists the possibility of an intercollegiate tournament with OSC, though Dean Leighton thinks that for this year nothing should be planned but the formation of interested stu dents into a club. Because of the large number of students, equipment could be pur chased at a great saving and this way make it possible for more peo ple to enjoy the sport. Guild Actors to Start Ah Wilderness'Work Mrs. Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt yesterday announced “Ah! Wilderness” by Eugene O’Neill as the next University theater production this year. The play will be produced the second or third week next term and cast ing is to begin at once. When a poll was tak£n of a campus audience last spring as to possible selections for this year's dramatic program, “Ah! Wilderness” was nrst ny an overwneiming ma jority. The play which demonstrates O’ Neil’s wide versatility opened originally as a Theater Guild pre sentation in New York with George M. Cohen, currently mimic ing President Roosevelt in “I’d Rather Be Right,” in the starring role. Will Rogers played this same role in the Pacific coast production soon before his death. Lionel Bar rymore played the role of the fath er in the movies supported by Wal lace Beery, Eric Linden, Aileen McMahon, Cecelia Parker and Spring Byington. O'Neil, dean of American play wrights, is known for his adaption of the strange and unusual to drama. “Ah! Wilderness” is gentle, kindly, and full of a human quality unique in his works. He has re cently been in the northwest work ing on his forthcoming dramatic offering, a trilogy on American life. The production will be the first O’Neil play done on the campus in ten years because of the severe physical limitations of the Guild .hall stage. $2,528 WPA Grant Allotted Municipal Research Bureau A WPA grant of $2,528 has been allotted the University bureau of municipal research and service to provide for the completion of stud ies of civic and county govern mental finance and administration, it was announced yesterday by Herman Kehrli, director of the bu reau.

French Royalist Movement Being Held in Control Leaders of Planned Revolt Still Remain Unidentified By GORDON RIDGEWAY PARIS, Nov. 23.—Nipped in the bud” are the newest plans for a French royalist coup d'etat, Min ister of the Interior Marx Dormoy announced tonight. An uprising similar to the one in Spain had been designed to set up a dictator ship under a monarchy like that of Italy, officials revealed. From the German ' border through the capital to the south ern frontiers raids on caches of arms were continuing. Suspects were brought before investigators for questioning, and four persons, including an officer of the air force were commanded to hold themselves at the disposition of the magistrates. Leading names of the movement were still held a secret. Any con nection which the Duke of Guise, who yesterday announced his in tention of reconquering the throne, may have with these plotters lias not been disclosed. Stock Trouble NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—An open break between the stock exchange and the security and exchange commission seemed possible tonight as Commission Chairman William O. Douglas declared that that the exchange must reorganize or face wider regulation. Stunned, most brokers declined to comment. Market collapse of recent weeks is being held responsible for the rupture between the exchange and the commission. Some observers were speculating whether further regulation might bring a court test. Shanghai Customs SHANGHAI, Nov. 23.—Customs control in Shanghai was turned over to Japanese authorities today as a result of the island’s demand for control of all government func tions in the city. An attempt is being made to prevent the adminis tration from becoming an interna tional issue. At Nanking, U. S. Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson and most of his staff had gone, following the cen tral government into the interior. A few aides still remained, how ever.

The swim ming pool, however, will be closed throughout the week. Insurrection in ROTC Ranks? No, Just a Holiday Squads 'ttenshun! Right shoulder -arms! Squads forward march! Unless Sergeant Harvey Blythe, ROTC instructor, learned the truth about the Thanksgiv ing holiday, students feared he would be present and accounted for to give manual of arms or ders to Friday drill classes there. According to Sergeant Bylthe at one of his Tuesday classes the regular military drill woudl be held all day Friday. The confusion is the result of the new holiday system that is being used this year. Regular classes on Armistice day made possible a four-day holiday for Thanksgiving that has not here tofore been a University prac tice. “Latest reports” from the ser geant provides the information that he has finally been con vinced that he can stay home and eat turkey hash instead of repotring for duty. Squads fall out! Reporting Classes Get Real Experience The Oregon school of journalism has this year advanced another step in its program to give every student practical experience as well as theoretical practice. Oregon has always been noted for Its practical training policies, but this year Charles M. Hulten, assistant professor of journalism, introduced a plan which gives stu dents in his reporting lab an op portunity to work for a regular daily paper. Under the old system reporters worked and wrote for a dummy pa per. Copy was edited and pasted onto the dummy. This year the old sys tem is still in use, but in addition, arrangements have been made whereby some of the class covers assignments for the "downtown newspapers, submitting their stor ies for actual publication. The plan was worked out as fol lows: Mr. Hulten took one-third of his reporting class and made out conference sheets whereby each student comes to his office once each week for the assignment. Ev ery morning the downtown papers are called for the assignments and (Please turn to page four) Binford Presents Repeat Program On Emerald of Air The Emerald of the Air last night presented Maurie Binford’s orchestra in a repeat program of popular music over station KORE.

Cry Medical Studes By JOHN POWELL The dogs days are over! Since the first of the term, strong stomached and stronger-nostriled medical students have bent over the unlovely, mangled corpses of dogfish. Day after day, they have stared into the gaping mouths of these formaldehyde-soaked miniature sharks, until they and their prey have melted into one soul-stirring odor, and thpv und Hipir fripnHc nurtPrl 11 rvuminfunoa Long Canine Brings Cheer To Sick Ward An elongated ray of sunshine crept into the infirmary yester day when "Danny Boy,” Don Keebler’s German dachshund (bologna dog) visited the sick ward. The long and bowlegged little dog waddled his noisy way from room to room, accompanied by bursts of laughter, until he nuz zled his way into an isolation room. There he was not greeted with laughter but with an al most tearful expression of joy. The girl occupying the room was almost overcome with hap piness to see a 6-year-old ver sion of her dachshund pup, far away in California. Danny was in the mood to be petted. He cavorted his best and rela tions were becoming quite chum my when Danny Boy was re trieved by his master. But the lowly “squalus acan thias” has not died in vain. Not only has he furthered the worthy cause of science, but he has also kept the upper regions of Deady hall clear. Woe betide the innocent layman who ventures within smell ing range. The gentleman whose home was surrounded by a garbage incinerator, a slaughter house and a drainage canal, died without ex periencing the crowning glory among odors. The most enterpris ing among Emerald reporters takes one step down the hall, blanches, and runs for the nearest window with a hand held frantically over his mouth. But the dogfish now belongs in the limbo of the musty past. He has been exploited to the nth de gree, had his vitals opened to the prying gaze of irreverent medical students and made the subject of cold-blooded anatomical charts. Now, in reward for months of ser vice, his is the ignominy of the ash can. His unenviable position as guest of honor in the dissecting room is soon to be filled by a shipment of (Please turn to page four)
