(Tex) 01 Ivor will be 1 akinpr over Hip Oregon eoaeliing job one of Ihese days and right now “security of tenure” is just n phrase as far as the present members of Ore gon’s coaching staff are concerned. For Mr. Oliver, just as guy bend coach should, has lli.e authority 1o pick the men lie wants for the jobs. Since 1lie first in com mand takes all the blame (and all the credit, if any) he should have the right to name his own assistants, right down to the freshman instructor. The present members of Oregon's coach ing staff are all good men but 1 lie new coach would be foolish indeed if he asked them all to stay and attempted to produce a team without at least one helper drilled in the intricacies of the Oliver system. ENE Shields apparently hasn’t indicated whether he would like to stay or not. As we've said before, Coach Shields is a very capable man to have in charge of a line and most people would like to see him retained. Mr. Shields may, however, feel that lie could do better elsewhere in a head-coach's job. Mike Mikulnk, another popular man from the “old regime,” yesterday resigned. The resignation was probably merely a matter of form—for if Oliver doesn’t want him. lie's through anyway and the wording in fho state ment about, leaving tin* way (dear for a olioioo from “outside or williiri 1he old staff” and about “bis interests being at Oregon” indi cates Mike would like to stay—if invited. This brings us around 1o the gentleman called Honest John (Warren) 1 be Horse. Year before last John assembled and coached one of (be lies! freshman teams Oregon lias ever boasled and bis record in three sports—foot ball, basketball, and baseball—is good, * * *■ lyjR. Warren, candidly, would like to stay— “at least one more year.” lie has con siderable backing among Oregon fans who bail him as a fine coach and a great prosc lyter. 11 is teams are always in condition, not matter what their other virtues. Like Gene Shields and Mike Mikulak, Warren’s personal record is also in bis favor. It would gain the approval of a WOTTl con vent ion. Judging from Hie affable manner in which Coach Warren accepts the numerous names given him by athletes and sports writers, it seems safe to mention bis only notable fail ure. No matter how bard the team works nor how much be personally exercises, Mr. Warren can’t reduce bis waist measurement. So it’s safe to say that, in more ways than one, if Oliver elects to keep Honest John he’ll have a big man for I lie freshman job. Radio Conscious Campus—But What About KOAC? 0 ’oclock Inst night 0l2f> scripts had been issued 1o students si11i 11 pc up For audi tions in Iho contest to pick two salaried com mentators for The Emerald newscast. About fiTfi to CS"» students were given auditions before the “studio” closed, well after the scheduled hour. On the basis of these figures, it can be said that the auditions have in the last three days drawn more students to the ABIT) shuck than has any other event—probably because they offer two things—free “smokes” and a chance at radio. As Emerald Columnist Bill Cummings in dicated Wednesday, Luelcy Strike’s campaign has made the campus “cigarette conscious.” On all sides there is evidence to support this conclusion—but the enthusiastic reception of these auditions, as well as other recent indi cations, reveal a tremendous campus interest in radio. • * • PKFOKK the recent announcement of The Emerald-Lucky Strike program and tin1 auditions, the paper’s other student program, the musical Rhythm Review, had captured the students' fancy. Presented by Editor Don Kennedy and Assistant Editor Wendell Kauf man, the question contest packed KORE’s studio last night. The broadcast may lie moved to the stage of a downtown theater. The newscast, too, has elicited much stu dent comment and every student who has something to say about the “smoke situation” also has some comment to make about the recorded qualities of his own voice. The campus, apparently, is “radio con scious” too. # •» «• gl’T, while the popular campus talk topic is radio, there isn’t much being said of Ilic proposed extension ol Hie facilities of station KOAC 1o this campus. The matter rests at present in (lie hands of the state bottl'd. The success of the programs developed here this year proves our contention that the Oregon campus has much talent to offer KOAC. That station made a real effort to bring some action on the matter last term when it established a temporary studio here for a period of one month. The state board has always made it a policy to stress the fact that Oregon's two major schools arc but units in a “system.” Denying Oregon its just share of the facilities of the “system’s” radio station is not con sistent with that policy. # * * JC'FFOBTS to share the station's benefits under present conditions have not been satisfactory. Oregon broadcasters have too far to travel on scant expense budgets. And, although it is natural that the “News from the Campuses” program should stress OSC college items, that program recently produced one bit of decided misinformation. Quoted roughly, the commentator remark ed that “The University is now presenting a news program through the courtesy of a well known tobacco company.” # * # TT is immaterial that this statement deprives the student daily of its program—the pro gram which its editors write and run. Hut Hie University might well resent this bald statement that a I'Diversity program is being sponsored by a tobacco company. The misquotation was probably, no doubt, entirely accidental. At any rate, the board should announce some decision or action at its March 8 meet ing. In the Mail FIRE HAZARD To tho Editor: As I entered one of my class rooms today I noticed smoke issuing from one ol' the desks in the back of the room. Upon investigation I found a half smoked cigarette and a pile of half-consumed papers, all burn ing merrily. The instructor and a few students from the class vacating the room were still in the room as X entered. I smoke cigarettes. I enjoy and try to respect the freedom allowed to we who smoke here on the campus. I do not wish to start a campaign against smoking on the campus our small personal liberties are re stricted enough as it is, but a campaign of this sort is inevi table if a few persist in disre specting the freedom allowed us in this matter. The audacity of any student to smoke in a class room, especially during class recitation, is beyond the com prehension of the average per son. Such audacious people ex ist. however, and they must be warned and cautioned, it seems, against such flagrant disregard for other people’s lives and property. Had the classroom been vacated during the next period, a disastrous fire could have been started in the wooden desk. If you do not see fit to pub lish this as a warning and cau tion to thoughtless students, I believe some editorial comment on such matters would not be amiss, I will divulge no details that might implicate any stu dent. Robert Miller. DO. WU Men Talk On Labor; Forum Due Again Tonight Members of the public discussion earn from the University of Wash ngton met with the Oregon team rere last night at Gerlinger in a 'orum on “The Labor Problem.” Solutions to the problem, as ad vocated by Kessler Cannon of Ore ton and Floyd Vincent of Wash I ington, are, respectively, a more mutual understanding between era 1 ployer and employee and social legislation. Other speakers were Zane Kem i ler, who traced the growth of the labor movement and Jack Cheno weth of Washington who explained the present problems. The meeting between the two schools is an annual event. Howard Kessler acted as chairman. The teams will meet with repre sentatives of the local labor unions tonight in a similar discussion at 8:30 in the Labor Temple. UKAl) TO TKACH Doris Morrow, who completed work for her BA degree at the Uni versity last fall term, has taken a I positional Lakeview, Oregon, doing departmental work in the upper grades. Miss Morrow is also a graduate of the Oregon normal school. From where I SIT By CLARE IGOE Now perhaps it is a bit too late to mention this, but we've been meaning to remark on the fact that despite frugal and thought ful "no corsage” orders from the Senior Ball directorate, on Sat urday night the sparse wastes of the Igloo bloomed like a veritable flower garden. Which must prove something—even if it is only the dubious contention that the spirit of chivalry is not dead and knighthood is still in flower. We noticed with considerable interest the influx, of letters to the editor, Itefore the dance was held, wherein irate females voiced their indignation at the ‘‘no corsage” ruling and one indignant male (the letter came too late to be published) blasted the poor gals who would waste their escort's hard-earned sub stance on a bunch of posies that didn't add anything to the general effect anyhow. The attitude of the girls we could understand—we felt that way ourselves (in spite of determined'attempts to be sensible about the thing) and we respect the backbone of women who rise up, with the courage of their convictions and demand their just dues — even if there is a persistent sneaking doubt at the back of our mind about the "just.” At any rate, we feel that if the girls want flowers they should eertainly have the right to come out and say so, for after all the day of retieent womanhood, we fear, is past. The attitude of the male writer we think we understand, too. For he demands indignantly if the girls know just how much the dollar that is spent on a corsage might do. And we answer yes, we do, for we realize that one can eat for a whole day for a dollar, or buy a book, or a new tie or some new socks, or get one's shoes re-soled, or go to a show, or pay the rent — any of a number of things. Yes, indeed. A dollar is definitely a matter not to be taken lightly. And, the gentleman demands, does he get his money's worth. Now that, we answer, is a hard thing to determine, for different people have different ideas about the value of money. After all it is a bit difficult for a girl to feel indebted to turn out a dollar’s worth of charm in an evening to repay her escort for a corsage, especially if she isn’t exactly certain about just what the dollar means to him. There’s an economic problem there she just might not be equal to. Also upon the decorative effect of corsages there is a bit of question. Now most men, given the duty of corsage-selecting', will hie them to a florist’s shop, plunk down their money on the counter, and tell the florist to pick out something. The florist, with no incentive to his creative genius, is apt to feel just the same as the purchaser that this corsage-buying is a silly thing to be got over as quickly and effortlessly as possible. So the gal goes to the dance with an uninspired hunch of flow ers pinned on her shoulder, which may match her dress in color, but be entirely out of touch with the general effect. A glob of roses somehow just doesn’t catch the elusive charm of chiffon. And so the decorative effect may be nil. The flowers don’t add a thing— and the money spent for them is undeniably wasted. But that doesn’t mean that flowers don't add anything to a dress. Properly selected, they will enhance any formal. If the dress is of flowered material or if it has no spot that cries out for a bunch of flowers, a knot of posies for the hair is wonder fully effective. Buy a nosegay of old-fashioned flowers for milady to carry when she wears demure organdy. And so on into a realm of original flower selections whose decorative effect can’t be denied, and have that "something special” which would delight any girl’s heart. It’s not that flowers don’t add anything—it’s just that careless ly selected flowers are worse than none at all. But just because we bring out these points doesn't mean, really, that we think any boy who is hard up, whose dollar is needed des perately for other things and who still enjoys going to a dance, should feel that he MUST buy flowers or be out of the social swim. That’s an illustration of those conventions that may be charming in the observance, but, insisted upon, are only ridiculous and stupid. No, we look at these things more sensibly now, and realize that we must learn to do without the unimportant things so that we may have those we consider more vital. And we accept it so. But, somehow, we can’t help sighing over a generation whie'' worries so over a dollar that to spend it on a fleeting, gay moment seems foolish and unimportant. It seems wrong that a dollar should be so terribly much more important than the refinement of living, the courteous, gentle grace that a corsage means, symboli cally. Probably we just have an 18th century mind. Anyway, it gave us a feeling of great satisfaction to see that the "no corsage” ruling wasn't observed. It makes us think, with relief, that people today aren’t nearly as sensible (in the worst meaning of the word) as they try to talk themselves into being.

Bill Cummings Campus Paul Deutsehmann, National National When we said that Hitler was broiling in a purge of his own and couldn’t be counted on for much in European affairs, we were evidently wrong, consid ering the dramatic happenings of the last few days. To all appearances, Herr Nazi Number 1 has brought Austria under the protecting shadow of the swastika, after a number of years of rather incompatible “defense of independence” in the hands of Italy. Now it appears that Hitler is about to break up these strange bed-fellows — the Italy that came to be despite efforts of the Autria that outraged her cities under the incomparable Metternich. Of course, Austria that now exists is a pitiful remainder of the once grand empire of the Hapsburgs which sat beside the greatest powers before 1850. In those days both Italy and Ger many were struggling to free themselves from Austrian dom inance, which was not intended to protect their independence, but rather to prevent it. The Nazi move is a logical one, however, for racial back ground, historical alignments, and general interests of the two countries are closely interwov en. A Germanic rare inhabit roost of the present Austrian territory, and thpy are sadly in need of economic help which the Nazi-planned removal of trade harriers would give them. However, both nations need free trade with some raw ma terial and food-producing coun try. Austria especially is in a pool' situation. Her polyglot empire dismantled after the war, the once-proud country was left with a meagre 32,000 square miles and 7,000,000 popu lation, almost a third of which was in Vienna. • Although Hitler has severe obstacles to overcome in the program for Austria, in all probability he will eventually consolidate his gains in Austria as he has done at home, in Dan zig and on the Rhine. All that can stand in his way is England, and Anthony Eden has already announced that it is not his business. Mussolini lias evidently given tacit approval (or more proper ly, reluctant consent) to the program, or it could never have been attempted. Austria her self has fostered some anti-Ger man ideas since the war, hut the national socialists are a persua sive bunch. Sunday, when Dor Fcuhrer speaks to the Reichstag-, he will probably tell them (to shouts of Heil Hitler) that at last the 29th province of Germany has been won. For when he came to power he divided the Father land into 28 provinces, and dra matically announced that the 29th was Austria. As far as Austria is concern ed the adoption of national so cialism will probably pay off. For German y it certainly should. Austria is also the last true front for tlie German brand of Aryan politics. id «N -n Although Hitler in his “Mein Kampf” visualizes a world sys- - tern of national socialism, it is ^ doubtful whether other nations, such as the Balkans, Poland, etc., would be willing to accept German domination on the basis that Herr Goebbles, (the man who sa’id that “it hasn’t been proven yet that non-Aryans can't mate with apes’’) would propagate it. Conclusions do not come logically when considering the enigmatic developments foster ed by the Austrian who now rules Germany. Therefore we leave the situation and waif with misgivings to see what new fool-hardy, astute, diabolical, or wise plan he proposes on Sun day. Campus Calendar The Swedish dinner planned for the Yeomen and Orides for Friday night has been postponed, and a dessert dance Saturday night sub stituted. A dessert will be served at 8 on the sun porch of Gerlinger hall, followed by dancing. A small charge will be made for the des sert and dance. Plymouth club (Congregational college age group) will hold a Kid Kostume party tonight at 8 o’clock in Gerlinger hall. Louis Murdock, president, is in charge. New Chinese Prints Placed in Museum A new exhibition of Chinese color prints are being shown in the double gallery of the mezzanine floor of the Museum of Oriental Arts, replacing the former exhibi tion of Elizabeth Keith's works. These prints are taken from a book which was published in 1675 and is from the studio of the Ten Bamboos. The paintings have been removed from the book, which was purchased in 1925, and mounted under glass on the walls for exhi bition purposes. One of the rooms in the gallery ! is being devoted to illustrations of the Japanese brush work and the technique of Japanese brush work which Miss Kern's class in Japan- . ese brush work is now studying. PARSONS PLANS MEETING Dr. Philip A. Parsons, head of the sociology department, left for Salem Thursday to make prelim inary arrangements for the pro gram of the Commonwealth con ference to be held on the campus April 18-20. Herman Kehrli, director of the bureau of municipal research, trav eled as far as Salem with Dr. Par sons, and went on to Portland to confer with officials in the Port land branch of the bureau. fnl ra fnl fnl fnl fnl frvj [rUTTC fn) Irii u iiTnrarafarmnrj Today’s Emerald IS made possible by the following advertisers Consequently they deserve your support!
