NUMBER 76
Ex-G-Man to Investigate Oregon University Athletes’ Incomes
Atherton Will
InvestigateUO
Expenditures
Ex-G-Mcrn Will Hold
Survey of Athletes'
Sources of Money
For Research
Webfoot varsity and fresh
man athletes will next week un
dergo an investigation of their
incomes and sources of financial j
aid when ex-G-man Edwin N.
Atherton arrives on the campus
as a special operative for the
Pacific coast conference.
Atherton, recently appointed
conference investigator, is engaged j
in a preliminary survey of all the I
schools in the conference, having
already been at UCLA, Southern
California, Stanford, and Califor
nia. He is now at Oregon State
college interviewing Orange ath
letes.
Long Survey Due
This preliminary probe is the
first step in a survey which may
require from one to two years to
complete. The purpose, according
to Atherton, is to get data and all
information possible on sources of
financial aid and income and event
ually set up a standard of rules
and probably an office or organi
sation to enforce them.
The results will not be made
public in connection with any in
stitution or alumnus, Atherton said
at Corvallis yesterday. The con
ference will probably not take ac
tion or make any changes for at
least a year or two.
To Probe Incomes
The income of athletes in institu
tions of higher learning is one
which is always a source of con
cern in all amateur athletics. The
coast conference is pioneering this
method of treatment.
The exact day of Atherton's ar
rival here next week could not be
given last night by the University
athletic board. He has been devot- |
ing a week to each school.
Cornell to Get
Oriental Brain
For Collection
By ALYCE ROGERS
Cornell university's famous brain
collection may have added to it its
first Japanese ‘brain, if the reso
lution of Dr. Tomitaro Makino,
Japanese botanist, is carried out.
Dr. Makino, 78, wants his brain
to be the first of his race in the
Cornell collection, and will come to
the United States to die, if neces
sary, to make that possible.
Under the law in Japan, a body
may not be dissected until 24
hours after death. Presservation
of brains requires removal within
an hour after death. Cornell's
( brain collection has been used to
make notable discoveries about the
mind in general and in a few cases
about the perculiarities of noted
men.
It's Expensive ...

Males Preferred ...
Asked whether they preferred
men or women bosses, 520 women
studied by a Colgate university psy
chologist, said they preferred men
because women bosses let personal j
things creep into work, get angry
over errors, are jealous, are effic
iency slaves, finds fault, and pay
✓ too much attention to details.

US Becoming
Trade Hermit
Close Claims
Fascist, Democratic
Nations May Clash
Soon, Far-Eastern
Authority Claims
Upton Close, internationally
known authority on far-eastern af
fairs, told students at the Univer- i
sity of Oregon yesterday that Ja
pan is forcing America into an
economic hermitage.
“In defending our military front,
we are leaving our economic front
wide open for the Japanese to
march in,” stated Mr. Close (Josef
Washington Hall) at an 11 o’clock
assembly in Gerlinger hall.
Introduced to a large gathering
of students, faculty and townspeo
ple, by Dean Victor P. Morris of
the school of business, Mr. Close
presented a graphic word picture
of economic relationships among
the foremost world powers and
showed positions Japan and Amer
ica will play in the approaching
struggle for supremacy in the in
ternational “ch^ss game."
Terming his address “America
in a Gangster World,” Upton Close
brought into vivid relief the spec
tacle of Great Britain and Ameri
ca as the champions of democracy,
in a fight-to-the-finish contest with
Japan, Italy, and Germany . . .
the nations employing gangster
tactic? to establish their unchal
lenged economic security, and new
world empires.
Ideals Threatened
Democratic ideals to which the
policies of the gangster nations
would mean destruction are politi
cal freedom, religious tolerance,
and high standards of living by
which the working man benefits
from machine production, accord
ing to the traveler and news com
mentator.
Rapidly sketching the history of
Europe since the World war, Close
drew analogies and comparisons
between the Japantese-American
situation and the Italian-British
situation. He stressed the impor
tance of the element of the divine
origin which the Japanese attrib
ute to their governmental heads.

Irvin Mann Wins
$15 in Jewett Contest
New System Is Used
In Selecting Topics

nalism, won the Jewett public
speech contest last night at an
open meeting in Villard hall when

tempore speaking classes discus
sed “Men and Machines." His
award was $15.

Used for the first time here, this
system provides for the drawing of
a subject after doing general read
ing for several weeks.
Mann drew “Morals and the Ma
chine Age" to speak on.
Second money, $10, went to
George Swan, who discussed “Con

Council Adopts Plan
To Pick Rally Squad
From Trained Group
Groundwork Is Laid
By Executive Group
For Student Union
Financing Project
Ed Robbins, chairman of the stu
dent union board, reported to the
executive committee yesterday that
his committee is going forward
with its planning by laying care
fully the groundwork for financ
ing the proposed building.
Settlement on the proxy-vote
question came in the form of an
addition to the by-laws when the
group definitely banned such bal
lots in ASUO elections.
Class Elections Studied
A discusssion of the plan to
bring the classes under the con
trol of an ASUO election board
brought forth the opinions of sev
eral committee members that the
class prexies have misunderstood
the purpose of such a check. It
was pointed out that each class
would be well represented if such
a board were set up, and that the
classes would be able to avoid the
“unpleasant situations and rumors
arising from not too well con
trolled elections in the past.” Al
though the junior class h.xS indi
cated that it does not wish such
aid from the ASUO, the plan will
not be abandoned, Prexy Hall said
last night.
Appropriation of $25 for the bat
tleship Oregon fund was made at
the meeting from the ASUO gen
eral fund. Discussion of changes
in the various athletic awards was
postponed by the committee.

dents and faculty alike began to
leave their desks and drafting

3 Sophs, 2 Juniors,
Senior Chairman,
3 Coeds Comprise
Committee Core
By BILL PENCRA
No more pig chasing.
Radical reforms for the rally
squad came yesterday when the
ASUO executive committee passed
a plan to be written into its by
laws that will control and direct
the work of that body.
Acting to clear up some of the
criticism that the present setup
receives, the committee agreed to
two plans submitted by Abe Wein
er and Prexy Barney Hall. Hall
was commissioned to formally
draw up the plan.
Nine to Be Ralllers
Weiner's part of the new deal
states that the rally group shall
be composed of nine members
(three sophs, two juniors and a
senior who shall act as chairman
and three women members). In
addition each living organization
will name a frosh to serve an ap
prenticeship.
The executive committee will
appoint the Tallymen not later than
j May 22 of each year by elimina
| tion. From the frosh apprentices,
i three members will be named to
j serve- during their sophomore year,
J and so on up to the choice of the
senior man. Women will be named
■ by the executive group and rally
j chairman after they have peti
! tioned for places.
Hall Makes Suggestions
Parts of the plan suggested by
! Hall include provisions for the re
moval of any rally member and
the filling of the vacancy under the
above plan.
Sophomore members will receive
emblems. Although the plans are
not definitely made, it is believed
that the junior members will be
I awarded sweaters with emblems,
! and the rally headman will be
awarded a sweater and larger em
blem.
Chulrumn Is Coordinator
Under Hall’s plan, the rally
chairman will act as coordinator of
the entire rally program, appoint
ing sub-chairmen to head various
! phases of the work such as campus
rallies, publicity and dances.
A campus-wide contest at the
beginning of each school year will
be held to obtain ideas for half
time stunts. A faculty advisory
i committee will be set up each year
to advise in staging of rallies.
Control of the rally committee
| will be in the hands of the ASUO
1 prexy acting as the agent of execu
I tive committee . . .

Woodmansee Talks
On Social Theories
Wayne Woodmansee, staff mem
ber of the bureau of municipal re
search, spoke Wednesday night at
the meeting of Alpha Kappa Delta,
national sociology honorary, in
Gerlinger hall. His subject was
"Relationships of Doctrinal Formu
lations and Institutional Structure
of Society.”
Mr. Woodmansee emphasized the
ambiguity of many doctrines re
sulting in a cultural lag between
social theory and social organiza
tion.
