Wie geht’s DimniiwiiiinniniiiiiiiiiimniimniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiBiiiniimiimniHimiiiiuia By V. OATES Hitler’s threat to remove Christmas from the German na tion should not be taken se riously. Isn't that the typical reaction of little boys when they first discover “there ain’t no Santa Claus?’’ Under Ooolidge’s regime leg islation was j>eiiding; under Hoover if was lending; under Roosevelt it is spending. And the pessimists are prognosticat ing 1940 as ending. Discussion is already rife over the German question. At the University of Oregon they are debating the practi^ e of selling beer near the campus, while at Washington, D. C., the talk is all Frankfurter. li: :|s ill Iattle sympathy should l>e shown the freshman who won dered what Paul Muni was par doned for. *:• i\t The way the Spanish war is hanging on year after year makes one wonder whether it is WPA project. CURB RUISING !I!!IIIIIII!!!]!IIIIII!IIIIIII By CAROI After a term of minding my own business, walking past key holes, refraining from overhear ing conversations in the “Side,” keeping my ears peeled, getting the “latest” from “Wind Bag” Brooks and thus getting jour nalistically lazy, and getting all my friends back,- I feel a scream coming on — getting bored, maybe, so here I am back again to. provide you with a few eye-openers as you dunk your Emerald in your breakfast coffee. ■li * * We notice that. Vice-Proxy Zane Kemler spotted the brass on Frances Morrison, Hilyard Co-op coed. Apparently as his race is won, he needs no more sororitified pull or maybe he's lining up future indepen dent support for the dear ol’ DU domicile - Then again it might be love. Who's the prominent blonde, confident campus secretary with a line no one can equal, who passed up all the Washington State players for the senior manager wonder what he had ? And who’s the Oregon football er she's really after. That was some deal—-it ought to be let alone. * # * A recent petition was circu lated to discover the status of the present basketball within the feminine world.

This statement, lias little to do with the subject of this editorial except that both the statement and the editorial deal with beer1. On the other hand if the proposition of the Eugene Ministerial association goes through, the students might find it necessary for themselves to stop at any number of Plymouth rocks—six blocks from Hie campus—when they got out of beer. Seriously speaking, and the situation does have its many serious aspects, the move of the ministerial association seems to be based on rather unstable foundations. Allhough the members are undoubtedly sincere in their attempts to better conditions at the University, what they have probably succeeded in doing, is nothing more than call the attention of the population at large to a situation which has not been bad in the past, 1hrow an unfavorable light upon it and create a controversy over a “reform” whose' accomplishments would be at best, illusory. * * * • JT should also be pointed out that the association has taken this stej) without,due consideration of the attitude of the University administration. President Erb has indicated 1o the press and to a representative group of students, that he has no stand upon the matter-—that he has not instituted the “reform” and is yet in the position of considering all the factors involved. Tn addition the association has disregarded 1he opinion of students who yesterday quite unanimously gave their opinion that there was nothing wrong with the present situation. We might continue at great length upon the virtues of removing beer and wine vendors from the campus. We might also go on at great length about, the vices bred by beer within six blocks from the campus. Neither of these dissertations would elucidate the problem. * rJMlE record stands upon its merits. Tn spite of the proxim ity of light liquor dispensers, drinking at the University of Oregon is no more of a problem than it is at other institu tions of higher learning. Hoth faculty and students agree that the present setup has been freer of difficulties than others that have been used iu the past. Observers from other institu tions, where rulings similar to the one suggested are in effect, find that conditions at Oregon are not appalling in com parison. As far as the proposed “reform” is concerned, the Oregon, student body might well commend the administration and President Erb for maintaining an intelligent and impartial altitude, thank the ministerial association for its good inten tions, and hope that these men, who sincerely wish to better conditions, do not force through a measure which would be of doubt ful value.

Football Probably Will Remain Major College Sport, National Student Opinion Poll Reveals By STUDENT OPINION SURVEYS OF AMERICA AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 9 With another football season ended, the everlasting question of whether college football is giving way to the professional, game enters into the annual stock-taking. Three fourths of American college students believe it is not, and more emphatically, they do not want to see their biggest sport lose in popularity. Those are the opinions derived from a nation wide poll of the Student Opinion Surveys of Am erica, organized for the sampling of opinions of the entire college and university enrollment of the United States along scientific lines. The Ore gon Daily Emerald is one of the cooperating campus publications in this section of the country. Controversy Annual Yearly the pro and con of commercialized foot ball is discussed from all sides. President Hutchins of Chicago leads this time with a current magazine article proposing to take profits out of inter collegiate football, commenting that the supreme court in a case involving gate receipts taxation has already indicated the game is business. Coach Bernie Bierman of Minnesota, although he admits in his book “Winning Football’’ that the sport is in a critical era, believes subsidization is declining and has no apologies to make for the game. Whatever the downtown barber or the sports editor may have to say often has little bearing on what the actual “owners” of football themselves — college students — think about the matter. Poll is Country-Wide For the first time the Student Opinion Surveys of America have unified campus opinion on a national scale. Student interviewers from Maine to Florida and Oregon to California, in every part of the country and in schools of all kinds and sizes, have asked, “Do you believe professional football will some day become more popular than college football ? Yes, said 24.2 per cent. No, said 75.8 per cent. But although one in every four believes this is likely to come about, not even that many would like to see such a condition. Only 14.6 per cent of the men and women attending college today want intercollegiate football to lose the campus flavor, the survey points out. In the Eastern and Middle Atlantic states, students, 28 per cent of them, think the possibility of professional teams gaining a greater following is acute. In other sections the percentages are much less. Students Air Views “College football already is semi-professional^ the trend is in that direction,” a University of Colorado sophomore declared. And from a James Millikin university freshman comes this thought, “I believe there is a possibility football will go professional. Look at baseball; it used to be a popular college sport.” In the North student com mented that the huge crowds professional teams are attracting show where interest lies. The inter viewer at Duke summarized opinion on his cam pus: “Students here don’t care about the future of football. They’re interested in the present.” 20 Student Leaders (Continued from page one) change, on the ground that there is no other campus in. the north west which allows beer to he sold on the campus. “Many people, both in this and other states, didn’t even know beer was sold so close to the campus,” Committeeman Walter declared. That the ministerial ass ^nation did not hoist the white banners and start crusading on its own hook was declared last night by Rev. Jones, who said that pressure from all over the state made the ministerial association the instru ment for the campaign. “We’re not attacking beer as long-haired reformers,” Rev. Jones declared, “but rather as a com mon-sense measure for the good of the University.” Rev. Jones said his committee and its backers were not rustling into anything without careful study both of the problem and of public Sentiment from all quarters. In the student-president meeting yesterday afternoon, Dr. Erb ex plained the circumstances of early story released which said he had committee and backers of the gone to bat before the liquor com mission for such changes. Dr. Erb said he had talked informally with a member of the commission and had admitted favoring something along those lines, although he had no opinion as yet. His statements, he said, were misquoted in trans fer. Banning of beer sales near the campus, some say within six blocks and others say up to half a mile, would bring the same medi cine to local dispensers that was dealt to the management of Wil lamette park when the liquor con trol commission failed to renew its license. campus uate (Continued from pacjc one) tii.iL the grant would in no way enaole finishing the project. So just before the holidays a green and yellow circular, presenting an artist’s conception of the entrance was sent to each father of an Oregon student and he was asked for a $2 pledge for the project, which it is hoped will be completed in time for dedication at next year’s Dad's day. Meanwhile the University has agreed that if the gates are com pleted, the school itself will in ap preciation of the fatherly effort provide a broad mall to reach from the opening of the gates on Elev enth street, straight through the campus to the base of the new li brary, which will be made the cen ter of the campus, easily visible from the campus entrance. Shrubs and flowers wili be planted along the way, and wrought iron fences will complement the gates. Pedes trian walks along the mall are also to be provided, the Univer. sity has promised. The project was described to the fathers as part of a million dollar campus impiovement program now in mid-completion on the ca^n pus, including construction of the new library, the now-begun hu manities building, student union and minor projects. Dean of Personnel Karl W. On thank, member of the committee in charge, explained that the fu. ture hope is that with the arrival of the broad mall, it may some day be possible to close Thirtecntt street to the traffic. The new gates will also be the featured subject in Dad's Day cir culars now being made to invite fathers to the campus for "theii day” on January 28, Dr. Clark Announces Extension Classes In Several Cities Extension classes started last week in several Oregon cities, it was announced yesterday by Dr. Dan E.
