Heredity Plays
Large Part in
Cal Enrollment
By ANNA MAE HALVERSON
Heredity plays a part in regis
tration down at the University of
California. Of the 2834 freshmen
entering this fall, 103 have had a
brother or sister in attendance in
the past, and 371 are direct des
cendants of alumni.
All but five of the 371 are sons
or daughters of parents, one or
both of whom attended the Uni
versity. The other five are des
cendants of grandparents, one or
all of whom attended the Univer
sity.
Furthermore, 19 of the fresh
men are third generation students.

Grades
Something of a record has been
set up by Bob Purdue, senior law
.Student and Rhodes scholarship
candidate from the University of
Washington. He has maintained a
straight “A” average for his en
tire college career, besides turning
out regularly for football.
Old Maids
“Get married as soon as possi
ble after graduation from college,
if you don't want to spend your
lives as old maids,” warned Dr.
Paul Popenoe, director of the In
stitute of Family Relations of Los
Angeles in an address at New Or
leans recently.
Dr. Popenoe said chances of get
ting married decreased with the
increase in years away from col
lege. He set 25 as the ideal mar
iage age for men. and 22 for wo
men.
Final Period
Splurge Wins
For Yearlings
Armistice Tilt Ends
'Little Civil War'
Series With 1 Tie, 1
Win for UO, OSC
In (he closing minutes of yes
terday’s Armistice day clash be
tween the Oregon State Kooks and
the Oregon Frosli, eleven deter
mined Duckling grid rompers
turned on the steam to win the
final game of the “little civil war”
series, 13 to 7, after trailing for
three quarters.
Doug Caven, 170-pound whirl
wind, passed to Bill Regner over
the end zone for the first score
ad after a 33-yard pass to Pat
Smith on the eight, Bill Brenner,
fullback, plunged through center
for second and final score.
Gray Passes Often
Gene Gray, brother of the fam- i
ous Beaver Joe, filled the air with
Rook passes all afternoon and had
the Warrenites back on their heels |
most of the game.
The lone baby Beaver score i
came^ in the second quarter when |
Jim Busch, fullback, plunged
through from the two-yard line.
Johnny Leovich, talented left end,
kicked the extra point to put the
Rooks out in front, 7 to 6, until
the closing minutes of the final
quarter.
Warren Keeps Record
.. Honest John Warren’s record of
having never lost a series to the
Oregon State freshman faltered a
little yesterday, but finally came!
through to even the series.
The first game of the series was
fought, to a 0 to 0 tie on a muddy
field at Multnomah stadium in
Portland. The second battle was
taken by the Rooks, 7 to 6, on Mo
doc field in Klamath Falls. Leo-'
vich came through to kick the
winning margin.

Mechanization of
Life, Selfishness Held
Present War Threats
Linfield President States Understanding
Between Nations Necessary if Peace Is to
Be Placed on Permanent Basis
Selfishness and the extreme mechanization of the world are the
two things which are again threatening the world's peace, declared
Dr. William G. Everson, president of Linfield college, speaker at yes
terday s Armistice day exercises, in McArthur court, which commem
orated the twentieth anniversaiy of the cessation of hostilities.
Until the world has recaptured the ability to be sensitive to other
people’s problems, he said in his address, “Some Things Worth Think

Truth of News
The fundamental reason that
the United States entered the
World war was not because of
munition makers but “because we
millions of people have left our
selves open to propaganda—we
have not disciplined ourselves
against propaganda," Dean Col
lins of the Journal staff, declared
while speaking on “Do We Want
to Buy Another War,” at the
Methodist church last night. The
meeting was the fourth Armistice
meeting sponsored by the Eugene
ministerial association and the
student Christian council.
He outlined six methods of pro
tection against propaganda: Don't
trust heads—they don't come over
the wires and are often written by
persons who do not understand
the story; watch the date line see
where it comes from; watch for
identifications which do not iden
tify—“an unimpeachable authori
ty”—they are often “stuffed
shirts;” watch for quotations, see
that they are definitely related to
the story; study the basic policies

ing Through at a Time Like This,”
the world cannot have peace. Man
should learn to correctly interpret
the passage ‘‘Peace on earth, good
will to all men,” he said. Originally
it read “Peace on earth to all men
of good will.”
Machines Ruthless
Mechanization of the world has
led to the squeezing out of hearts
of men; they are ruthless, using
power for their own benefit. One
must live up to one’s ideals and
dreams if the world is to be made
better, Dr. Everson said.
It is so easy to blame our trou
bles on the war, he said. People
call them the “backwash” of the
war.
Only a crazy man would want a
war: n one else would, Dr. Everson
declared, Soldiers are often blamed
for wars and are often thought of
as having hearts of fiends. But it
isn’t true. Why should a soldier
be held responsible for a war when
a fireman isn’t called an arsonist ?
he asked.
Soldiers Not to Blame
Civilians make wars and declare
them; soldiers only obey the or
dres, he said. People should re
spect the ROTC because it is pro
ducing the officers of the next
war. And they will be the people
who can lead the men, end the fray
in the shortest possible time and
with the minimum loss.
Dr. Everson deplored the loss of
natural-born leaders. Out of the
number that lost their lives in the
war a percentage would today be
the top leaders in all phases of life.
And the world sadly needs them
now, he said.
Cossacks Coming Wednesday
One of the most colorful of all
periods in world development
will be represented in Eugene
next Wednesday night when the
cry “The Cossacks Are Coming”,
which for many years made
northern Europe terror-stricken,
will echo through the campus to
mark the arrival of Serge Jaroff
and his 36 Don Cossacks for a
one-night concert in McArthur
court.
The Don Cossack chorus, the
second big feature offered ASUO
card holders in this season’s
schedule, is not new to campus
audiences since in 1934 and
again in 1936 the widely-cele
bbrated singing horsemen, near
ly all former officers of the im
perial army of Russia, appeared
here.
The songs of Cossack heroes
and the rousing battle songs
which once led the czar’s caval
ry against Red invaders are all
that remain to remind the world
of their deeds of valor, for the
modern Soviet regime does not
recognize the existence of the
Don Cossacks.
When they arrive in Eugene
for their concert, the 36 singers
will have completed an even
850,000 miles of travel together
since 1921, when they met as
prisoners of the Red army, and
will have a record of having
sung in more consecutive con
certs in more cities than any
other chorus in the world.
The singers, who are perma
nently exiled from their native
land by Soviet rule, are allowed
to travel on special passports
issued by the League of Nations,
with the phrase “en voyage”
substituted in place of country.
Twenty-two of the members are
married, their wives including
three Americans, one Canadian,
and representatives of other na
tionalities from Finnish to Mo
roccan.

Leading Studen ts
Come Out in Favoi
Of Revised Grades
Oregon students have varied ideas concerning the new grade system
which was recently approved by the University faculty.
Six students with definite ideas on the subject were interviewed for
the Emerald yesterday, they were: Anne Duden, sophomore in English;
Bob Sproat, senior in BA; Don Anderson, junior in BA; Harold Weston,
ASUO prexy, and junior in social science; Dick Williams, sophomore
in journalism; and Mel Davis, junior in business administration.
Bob sproat said, "inc main ar
gument advanced for the new
grade system seems to be to keep
students from taking pipes because
they are pipes. But perhaps an
even stronger reason has been
[ overlooked: that of the students
taking courses for their education
al betterment rather than for
grades.”
“The new grade system will bet
ter these students by eliminating
crowded classes,” Don Henderson
said, "by putting all students in
courses which will do them some
good, instead of putting them in a
pipe course for grades to send
home for parental approval.”
System May Be Advanced
Harold Weston decided that per
haps “this new grade system is a
wedge which will open the entire
campus to the new idea, but until
the entire campus adopts the new
no-grade system the situation will
tend to become unbalanced mainly
because there is no way to draw a
line on just what is a pipe.”
Mel Davis said, "Instead of put
ting his greatest effort on all
courses simply to keep a high
grade, a student should give a nor
mal amount of attention to those
classes in which he has no special
interest, and then bear down on
the things which will mean a great
deal to him when he gets out of
school.”
Dick Williams, Oregana man
ager, is another fellow with defi
nite ideas on the new system.
Grades Too Important
“I believe there is too much em
phasis on grades. Salesmanship,
personality, average common sense,
and a good appearance mean more
than a Phi Beta Kappa key when
getting and holding a job."
Anne Duden said: “From what I
understand of it, the system will
change the present grading system
of courses that students have been
taking simply to raise their GPA.
These students, instead of getting
a large percentage of A's and B’s,
will instead get merely a mark
showing they have been doing sat
isfactory work. Students taking
the course to raise their grades,
have no reason to continue it.
Orient Situation
To Be Told bg
Shanghai Man
Arnold Will Speak
Before Classes on
Eastern War
Julean Arnold, U. S. commer
cial attache at Shanghai, China,
will appear before University and
Eugene groups on Thursday, No
vember 17, to speak on the Orien
tal situation.
Mr. Arnold has been commercial
attache in Shanghai for tire past
36 years. His connections in the
Orient both among foreigners and
Chinese is perhaps more extensive
than those of any other American,
and few, if any, other foreigners
can claim such close association
with both present and past gow
ernmetal bodies in China.
Knows Generalissimo
He numbers among his closest
j friends not only Gerieralissimo
■ Chiang-Kai-Shek and his famuos
wife but likewise their associates
and many foreign advisers.
Mr. Arnold has recently returned
to the United States from war
torn China to report to President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull on
conditions in the Far East and
their relationship to American in
terest at home and abroad.
Arthur Dudley, professor in the
i BA school, recently stated, “With
] world conditions rapidly reaching
a climax any comments that Mr.
j Arnold might make will be ex
I tremely interesting and timely.”
Classes to Hear Speaker
Mr. Arnold will speak to classes
j in the afternoon and talk at a ban
, quet and evening meeting later.
In each instance Mr. Arnold’s sub
jects will be concerned with the
Oriental situation, and his talk in
the evening will be "America Must
Become Pacific Minded."
Ducks Confident as
Californians Offer
Odds, Sport Scribe
From UO Finds
By GEORGE PASERO
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFOR
NIA, BERKELEY, Nov. 11 — (Spe
eial to Oregon Daily Emerald)—
The more an Oregonian wanders
around this Berkeley campus, the
more he is impressed with the fact
that California fans in the bay
region wouldn’t give much more
than a plugged nickel for Oregon’s
chiinces of victory over the Golden
Bears.
The present odds favor Califor
nia, 2 to 1, and these may rise.
Headlines in one of the Cali
fornia papers said that Coach Alli
son’s Bears would be playing the
Webfoots while keeping one ear
tuned toward the announcer for
news of the Washington-USC
game.
nose nowi in view
This is to say that Bear Rose
Bowl hopes are still high, and that
the Webfoots are considered only
stepping stones on the comeback
trail. California students are
unanimous in the belief that the
Bears, still burning over their de
feat by USC, will make short work
of the Webfoots.
But then, prior to the OSC-Bcar
game, California fans yelled that
“Oregon State is headed for a one
way ride to the lair of the Bear.”
And the Beavers nearly won that
game.
Cause Not Hopeless
So the cause is not hopeless. The
Webfoots, encamped at the Clare
mont hotel, are confident. The
stage is set for an upset. And
, Allison is a very worried man.
j Comparative scores mean little to
him. He's worried because of the
potentialities of those Webfoots

Religion to Be Topic
Of Weekly Debates
Discussing and debating relig
ious, governmental, social, and
educational problems are the pur
poses of the group of University
students and Eugene citizens that
meet every Wednesday rjight at
the YWCA.

the group proposes to educate the
individual citizen concerning the
rights and responsibility in his
government, and to raise the gen
eral level of education to a higher
standard believing that the Uni
versity and the surrounding area
will be the first to be affected by
their work.
Plans to enlarge the group so
it will not be solely confined to
the University campus are now,'
in progress.

War's-End Scenes
Recalled by UO Prof
By MARGARET GIRVIN
Eager crowds gathered on the bleachers of the old football field,
listening to the terms of the Armistice over the wire, are pictured in
Dr. Andrew Fish's memory of the first Armistice day on the University
campus.
At the news of the declaration townspeople and students gathered
at the old athletic field, jubilant and certain that the “Yanks” were
wic v Jv, iui y .
Following the gathering a par
ade started in downtown Eugene,
some of the participants wearing
signs claiming that the American
troops had won the victory, Dr.
Fish said.
Sign Held Wrong
An employe in the library, feel
ing that the ‘‘yanks” were not en
tirely responsible for the Armis
tice, tore a sign from one of the
paraders, causing indignation
among many of the people.
Dr. Fish, associate professor of
history, was an ‘'assistant'’ at the
University at the time of the dedi
cation.
He is in favor of the celebration
of Armistice day as a reminder of
peapce to the population of the
country.
