Novel Titles
By ANNA MAE HALVERSON
The editors of The Reporter and
The Ticker, much censored and
suspended publications of the City
College of New York, have finally
turned the tables on Dean Justin
Moore of the school of business
and civic administration. Dean
Moore has been a constant heck
ler to the papers, having suspend
ed The Ticker three times for ob
scenity since 1932 and also seven
students in 1934.
A novel, "Mexican Love,” was
printed in London in 1934 and au
thorized and editorially criticized
by Dean Justin Moore. Said the
dean stiffly by way of explaining
his literary effort: "When you
write a book, you like to make the
titles rather interesting.”
The Ticker printed the chapter
titles, and they were rather inter
esting—"A Siren’s Boudoir,” "Lov
ers in the Park,” “The Price of a
Husband,” "A Mistress Dissatis
fied.”
Gleefully The Ticker printed,
"The white knoll of her hips made
the girl’s waist seem by compari
son unusually slender,” and “ ‘You
struggle not to kiss my lips. Come,
Douglas, let us steal a little hap
piness from fate.’ ”

Days of Old Oregon
To Be Atmosphere
For Homecoming
Former Campus Traditions to Be Revived
For Special Benefit of Returning Alums;
Students to Start Campaign
When alums come back to “honor Oregon” this weekend, give
them a taste of Old Oregon as they knew it in the days when it was
unthinkable to walk on the Oregon seal.
Such is the theme of a student campaign inaugurated by a. group
of student leaders last night and backed by the official sanction of
I the alumni secretary’s office. It is the plan of the student leaders, led
by Harry Weston, asuu president,
to revive all campus traditions,
over homecoming weekend, for
the special benefit of the return
ing alums.
A campus-wide drive to get the
students behind the move will be
gin today with announcements in
living organizations that all un-1
derclassmen will be required to ob
serve traditions strictly over the
weekend. Upperclassmen will take
the lead in enforcing the rules,
and anyone caught violating a tra
dition will be subject to punish
ment by the Order of the O, ac
cording to Hank Nilsen, president.
“Hello Walk” Revived
First among the customs to be
revived will be the “Hello walk” j
tradition, which requires that ev- [
eryone walking the sidewalk be
tween Fenton hall and Villard
speak toi each person he meets.
This is a tradition which has died
cut during the last few years.

Sheldon Reviews
Grads' Progress
Former Students
Are Forging Ahead
In Education
The progress of some former
students of the University was re
viewed by Dr. H. D. Sheldon, pro
fessor of history and education.
First in his reflections was Dr.
W. H. Burton, professor of educa
tion in the University of Southern
California. Dr. Burton graduated
from the Oregon school of educa
tion in 1916 having obtained his
doctor’s degree in the University
of Chicago. He has one of the
largest followings among teachers
of any lecturer in Los Angeles, Dr.
Sheldon said.
Dr. Peter Spencer, foremost au
thority on arithmetic and reading
in southern California, and a grad
uate from this University in 1922,
is now in Claremont Colleges,
California. He has recently com
pleted researches which have, ac
cording to Dr. Sheldon, a vital ef
fect on the common schools.
Dr. Claud C. Wooton, head of
the department of education and
director of summer school at Clare
mont Colleges is a graduate of
Oregon in the class of 1922. He is
rapidly making that institution a
center for research, Dr. Sheldon
said.
Beginning as regular members
of the faculty at Stanford this
year are Drs. Ethan Rothwell and
Henry Sheldon Jr. Dr. Rothwell,
former head of the social science
department in the University high
school, is in the history depart
ment.
Three Named to
Represent U.O.
In Rhodes Exam
Knapp, Turner, and
Winer Picked From
Nine Contestants
Robert Knapp, graduate student
in psychology, Thomas Turner,
senior in history, and Ben Winer,
senior in psychology were named
last night by the University com
mittee on foreign scholarships to
represent the University in the
statewide Rhodes scholarship ex
amination to be held at the Uni
versity club in Portland December
13. These candidates, who will be
officially certified by President
Donald M. Erb to the Portland
Rhodes scholarship committee,
were chosen from a list of nine
competitors.
At the Portland examination two
applicants will be chosen to go to
the regional district competition
in Spokane. Six states will each
send two candidates to this exam
ination, and from these, four will
be chosen to go to Oxford.
The scholarship is for $6,000 to
cover expenses of three years at
the English university. There are
32 scholarships given each year to
students in the United States.
Dr. Clark Reelected

University.
The exhibit, being arranged by Miss Pauline Walton, who has
charge of the library collection room, will include photographs of all
the presidents of the University and copies of books they have written,

year's homecoming events and see
the exhibit for themselves. The
___
authors are Robert Armond Case,
’20; Ernest Haycox, ’23; and Edi
son Marshall, ex-’17.
Another case will be based on
early athletics and will include a
picture of the first football game
played here—in 1893—and pic
tures of some early teams, gal
Young, Oregon’s first football
coach, will be featured in photo
graphic studies.
The exhibit is to be placed in
the lobby of the circulation library
on the first floor.

If weather conditions permit, a
brick-faced retaining wall will be
completed in two weeks on the
east end of the library which will
coincide in appearance with the
rest of the building.
In addition to these two projects,
Mr. Cuthbert stated that a con
crete walk has been completed
which runs along the east end of
the men’s pool and that planting
of various shrubs around the build

Students Warned
That ASUO Cards
Not Transferable
A warning that ASUO cards
are not transferable and will be
confiscated whenever detected
on anyone other than the right
ful owner, was issued yesterday
by Athletic Manager Anse Cor
nell and Educational Activities
Director George Root.
The warning came following
the confiscation of more than
thirty-five of the cards at the
Portland game last Saturday,
when non-student body mem
bers attempted to get into the
stadium on ASUO cards.
The activities office pointed
out that the tickets are plainly
printed “not transferable’’ on

Faculty Will Vote on
Recommendation for
'No-Grade' Courses
Existing System Would Be Modified by
Senate Committee Proposal Up Before the
Meeting of Professors at 4 p.m.
Definite action on the long-discussed grading question will be
taken today at 4 when the general faculty meets in Friendly to vote
on a proposal which would make possible a partial “no-grade” system
at the University of Oregon.
The recommendation, submitted by a senate committee appointed
last April and already passed by the faculty senate, will be voted upon
by the general faculty today, according to E. H. Moore, professor
UO Fathers In
Lane County to

Organization Plans
Will Be Discussed
By Group Tonight
Lane county fathers of Univer
sity of Oregon students will meet
tonight at 6:30 in the Osburn ho
tel to form a local Oregon Dad’s
club.
Included in the meeting will be
addresses by Chancellor Frederick
M. Hunter, President Donald M.
Erb, Karl W. Onthank, dean of
personnel, and “Tex” Oliver, foot
ball coach.
First matter to be brought up
at the meeting is the organiza
tion of the club. constitution,
j proposed by a special committee,
will be voted upon following gen
eral discussion. Music and enter
tainment features will be also pro
vided.
560 Lane Dads
A tabulation by the personnel
department of the University
shows a total of 560 Oregon dads
in Lane county, nearly all of whom
reside in Eugene. Lane county
ranks a close second in the state
as regards the number of Oregon
dads, with Multnomah county lead
ing all other counties with over
600, reports Elinor Stevenson, sec
retary to the personnel depart
ment.
Tonight's meeting is under the
supervision of Robert W. Prescott,
member of the state dad’s execu
tive committee, while James Rod
man, Arthur Morris and Karl W.
Onthank are committee members
on arrangements.
Depression Curbs
Enrollment Growth
As present registration figures
advance to an all-time high in the
history of the University,' a study
of enrollment over the past 25
years reveals war and depression
to be the greatest hindrance to
college education with the last de
pression taking a far greater toll
than the world war.
Today's enrollment shows 3326
students registered on the books,
while back in the school year of
1933-34 only 2386 students were

of sociology and chairman of the
committee.
The proposed change would not
do away with the fundamentals of
the present system, but would
make it possible for some courses
to be put on the "no-grade” or
pass and flunk basis, upon the
recommendation of the minor
schools and the approval of the
regular machinery for changes in
the status of courses, the report
says.
Faculty Requests Change
This suggestion is made on the
basis of considerable faculty re
quest that some correction be made
as to the status of some required
courses and other courses utilized
by students to raise their grade
point averages, it was pointed out
in the senate committee recom
mendation.
The change would in a measure
alleviate the bad conditions result
ing from high enrollment in
“pipes” and other courses where
satisfactory evaluation of student
work on the basis of the present
system is impossible, the commit
tee members believe.

UO Males Bring Out Crying Towels Again
He stood at the landing wait
ing for her to arrive. Three
minutes pass as he nervously
looks at his watch. Scene
changes. He is sitting down. His
face looks long and drawn out.
Forty-five minutes have gone
by. Suddenly he looks up. There
she is. The very essence of
charm. His face brightens, and
then falls. Oh gosh, he thinks,
it’s going to cost me $5.00 to
make a good impression.
More $$$ Than Tuition
“Women are more expensive
than the price of tuition itself”
is the complaint filed by the Ore
gon males. Stating that they
can't take the average Oregon
coed out on a Saturday evening
without spending from $3 to $10,
after waiting for her from 30
minutes to an hour, several cam
pus romeos declared that they
would like to meet a few women
who ate their dinner before they
went on a date and who liked to
spend a quiet evening at home
for a change:
“I spend around $30 a month
on girls, and I only date on
weekends," said a Sigma Chi,
"but what can a man do, if he
wants to take her out again, he
has to make a good impression."
Three of his fraternity brothers
agreed with him adding "and the
payoff is when they keep you
waiting for an hour. That’s the
last straw.”
Food Costs Plenty
Several Phi Delta commented
on tho money they spent feed
ing their dates after a show or
dance. "Costs just as much to
feed a woman as I spend on my
self in a week," said one of the
boys.
"I’d like to meet a gal who
doesn’t have to take in a dance
and eat afterwards to have a
good time,” said a Beta, adding
that there are a few girls on the
campus who don’t mind putting
in an evening of dancing at their
living organizations.
Needed, But Costly
"Why is it women have to be
always on the go - to a dance—
to a show, etc. ?, asked several
ATOs. “Why can’t they be sat
isfied with spending an evening
doing nothing, once in a while?"
“We can’t live without them,
but we sure can’t afford them,”
is the attitude of many of the
fellows. “The thought of what
it's going to cost me Homecom
ing weekend, to take a date to
the dance, flowers, etc., is al
most going to spoil the week
end for me, if I think too much
on the subject,” said a Canard
club man.
"Some day I’m going to meet
a woman who has just as much
fun talking to me and maybe
having a coke after an evening’s
dancing at her living organiza
tion, as she does at an expensive
dance with all the trimmings.
Then, by gosh, I’ll be the hap
piest man on earth.” said an
SAE.
