Only 40 Oreganas Remain to Be Sold With only only 40 Oreganas re maining to be sold after Tuesday's record sale during winter term registraton, the scheduled all campus drive for sales has been temporarily postponed, Dick Wil liams, Oregana busnicss manager, announced yesterday. Representatives who collected subscriptions from students In Mc Arthur court Tuesday obtained S180 for their publication, includ ing second payments on books or dered in September. “We cannot possibly carry on the scheduled drive until a com plete check is made by C. K. Stals berg, University cashier, on just how many Oreganas still remain,” Williams said. He urged that students who or dered books during fall term reg istration and did not pay their sec ond promised payment Tuesday call at the publication's office in the Igloo any afternoon between 3 and 5 o’clock and make arrange ments for payment. Before this term is ended, Williams believes, there will be sufficient demand for Oreganas so that it will be neces sary to sell the books on which have not been paid two install ments. If more available Oregonas are •located, the business staff may schedule a sale drive later ni the | term, he indicated. To help World Fair employees in impressing visitors next year, Dr. Walter O.

'Students Say Not to Open US To Refugees College Poll Shows 68.8% Majority Are Against Allowing Jews to Enter By Joo Bcldcn Editor Student Opinion Surveys of America (Copyright, 1938) AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 5—Jew bia in New York and California at should not be allowed to come ipto the United States in great num bers, a large majority of the col lege youth of this country believes, the first national poll of the Stu dent Opinion Surveys of America reveals. In slightly more than a month Germany has turned its Jews into a world problem, one that may have to be faced by leaders of to morrow—college men and women of today. Should the United States offer a haven to the persecuted Jews? Although many think some should be admitted if other nations cooperate, seven out of ten are op posed to opening wide the doors of Ellis Island. First of Surveys These figures are the first an nounced by the new Student Opin ion surveys, organized with the Oregon Daily Emerald as one of the cooperating members, among college newspapers over the na tion. The surveys, a non-commer cial organization of campus edi tors, will publish weekly reports based on national referenda similar to those of other polls that recent ly have been proved highly reli able. The surveys are intended to add a “fourth dimension’’ to the college press by reporting scien tifically national student thought. Campus interviewers have ap proached students of every descrip tion, rich and poor, freshman and seniors, in big schools like Colum bia in New oYrk and California at Los Angeles and in smaller schools like Luther in Iowa and Schreiner Texas. They have asked, “Should the United States offer a haven in this country for Jewish refugees from Central Europe?” Yes, said 31.2 per cent. No, said 68.8 per cent. Would Sec Sonic Help But it was clear from the coast to-coast returns that students as a whole would like to see the United States help oppressed German minorities in some way, some sug gesting- the offering of homes in U. S. possessions. “No country should turn away people who bring so much with them,” said an Illi nois senior. “But where would we put them?” asked a University of Minnesota sophomore. Others defi nitely believed none should be al lowed admittance. Noticeable was the qualification, “If other nations help also.” American Jewish students, con gregated in the East Central states, it appears raised the “yes” answers in that particular section of the country, where 39.1 per cent were in favor. In the New England group 35.8 were affirmative; Mid dle Atlantic 30.1; West Central 30.7; Southern 29.5; Far Western 23.2. Awareness of the problem and distribution of the population along racial lines are pointed out by these sectional figures. Nash Takes Speech Department Position To Succeed W. Boyle William B. Nash, instructor in drama and speech, is another ad dition to the University faculty this term. Announcement was made yesterday of his appoint ment to the post vacated by the resignation of Walden P. Boyle. Nash, who received his master's degree at. the University of South ern California this year, has had considerable experience on the stage in the South and on the Pa cific coast. Nash will handle the courses formerly taught by Boyle, who is now continuing his studies in c rama at Cornell university. The private library of famed economist Iticha.rd T. Ely has been acquired by Louisiana State uni versity. It represents 60 years of collecting and is the second most important collection on economics acquired by any American library this century.

ASUO Card Sales Break Records For First Day Total 1536 Members Are Marked Up; Drive to Continue ASUO card sales, with 1066 sold the first day, are on their way to the top of the undergraduate ther mometer, according to reports made yesterday by Verdi Seder strom, headman of the winter term ASUO membership drive. Two houses are already in line for duck dinners on the ASUO, having gone over the top with 100 per cent, while registration sell ing broke all records for first day sales. Sederstrom said over 450 full year cards have also been sold. First men's house to go all ASUO was Sigma Alpha Mu, with Burton Barr putting over house sales. Delta Delta Delta was a close second to the Sammies, turn ing in its clean sweep under Bar bara Baldingcr. One Duck Dinner Keinuins One more all-house duck dinner remains to be annexed by some organization. The first two din ners wont io the firsts in men’s houses — men's dormitories and women's houses—women’s dormi tories. Three other winners in the pro motion drive contest were an nounced last night by Sederstrom, who named Betty Jane Quigley, Hilyard co-op; Patsy Taylor, Hen dricks, and Burton Barr, Sigma Alpha Mu, to awards of $1 each for the best turn-ins of the day in their divisions. Other winners will be named from day to day while the drive is at its height. Cards Still on Sale Outside of living organizations the drive continued merrily yes. terday, with the booth between Oregon and Commerce doing busi ness all day. Cards are still on sale at Johnson hall, at the McArthur court ticket office, as well as' in living organizations. They will also be sold at the basketball games and at the entrance to the Hobson Hobble, Sederstrom said. Football Stands Get Additional Extension An additional 45 linear-foot ex tension for Hayward field grand stands was gained this week when added grants and athletic board appropriations swelled by $3915 the total funds available for con struction. Announcement of the increase came through local technical supervisors for the project, who said that the fresh funds would actually bring the total seating capacity only up to the maximum allowed for and announced in early plans. The addition will go on the east end of the stands, and will be on the same order is those wl iih have been in use at long. The extra money will also mean that the new stands will get a coat of paint, it was stated. The falsework for the steel which is to go into the frame now covers most of the west leg of the horse shoe, and will remain in its pres ent. form until the steel arrives in throe or four weeks. The steel wa ; ordered some Lime ago. Th legs of the horseshoe formed by the stands will be approximate ly equal when the operations are finished. At the present time the ! east stands arc considerably louder than those opposite. Wage, Price-Cutting Are ’Natural’ Economic Forms Of Adjustment, Says Bayly (Editor’s note: Because of the interesting statements made In the story reported below, the Emerald is running the story at this late date.) By HAROLD OLNEY That the federal government is “off on the wrong foot” in attempt ing to cure the depression by keeping money wages at the same level ps during periods of prosperity was the opinion expressed by D. T. Dayly, Eugene attorney, in his address before the University Econ omics club in Gerlinger shortly before the Christmas vacation. “The cutting of wages and the cutting of prices is the natural economic adjustment,” Bayly said. However, Bayly added that such an economic readjustment wa3 too severe, and that some easier meth od of returning to normalcy was needed. Favors Federal Subsidy In order to effect this return Bayly would favor a plan whereby the government would pay the em ployer a bonus to retain his usual employee role without working a hardship upon the employer. In defense of his plan Bayly cit ed statistics to show that during tlie depression the nation was only producing about half the amount that they were producing a short time before the depression. Bayly insists that his plan would keep the nation’s production up to the normal rate of approxi mately 80 billion dollars a year, and would thereby prevent the slacking off of industries. Bayly pointed out that the business man, because he would be receiving this bonus from the gov ernment, would be able to main tain the same wage rate and still lower his prices in order to meet competition. The lowered prices Dlus the maintained wage rate with no increase in the unemployment lists would stimulate business con ditions causing general improve ment, Bayly said. One of the serious mistakes of the government in handling de pressions, from Bayly’s viewpoint, was in attempting to keep the wage level up but not trying to keep employees in the regular lines of industry. By allowing the na tion’s total production to sink from $80,000,000,000 to. $40,000, 000,000 they drastically weakened Lhe economic set-up, he skid. iiiiiwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiniip “ROMAN STRIPE” Inside Out :i thread ehif t'oii hose that a re faslw ioned for a perfect fit.
