Awaiting Coach Oliver's Decision
A. (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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Philip A. Parsons, head of
the sociology department, left for
Salem Thursday to make prelim
