The Leaves Are
Changing Color
So Did theBig pO’
Apparently ’twas the shades
of the night that vandals stealth
ily invaded Eugene and craftily
hied themselves to Skinner’s
butte where they committed a
dastardly crime of such gigantic
proportions that it will take sev
eral buckets of paint to repair
the damage.
In a few words, Eugenites and
Webfooters are viewing with
horror the once gleaming yellow
“O” that emblazons the heights
of the butte.
The famous “O” is now a dull
orange and black.
Les Anderson, freshman class
president has promised to restore
the original color “as soon as
we get organized.”

A large percentage of “Y” mem

case of most of the offices, the
race was very close.
In organization the freshman
and sophomore commissions re
semble the main cabinet, which is
composed of junior and senior girls,
who are appointed. Both groups
work in close collaboration on pro

headlines after liis first perform
ance for the Metropolitan Opera,
will appear tomorrow night before
what is expected to be a packed
McArthur court.
Holding an audience spellbound,
whether it be in an opera aria or a
simple song, is the achievement
which campus sources who have
heard Tibbett sing say that he has
the power to do.
peginning at 8 o’clock on the
Igloo stage, the opera and concert
artist will sing a group of classics
and popular songs designed to suit
everybody's tastes.
A large powerful man with what
is termed by friends “a fine sym

sonality, Tibbett is a world war
veteran, having served in the Uni
ted States navy.
His concert here is the opening
feature on the Greater Artists’

Press Trouble
Plagues Eugene
Register-Guard
The Eugene Register-Guard’s
subscribers were the forgotten
people last night when the “Tu
bular” Duplex printing press'
main drive gear was broken. The
paper was delayed from 4:20
p.m. until after 9 p.m. and was
finally printed by the Eugene
Daily News. All papers were de
livered by 10:00 p.m.
New parts will have to be sent
from the Duplex Printing Press
company at Battle Creek, Mich
igan, or be cast at the Eugene
loundry. In either case it will be
a matter of two days before the
press will be in operation again.
Several hundred of the disap
pointed customers called the
Guard personally, each thinking
their carrier had missed only
them. Upon finding out the dif
ficulty they all offered their con

Prelude to Reappointment
(Courtesy o{ the
Dean Wayne L. Morse and Conciliator Dr. John Steelman. . . . Their
discussion last week was oae of the main factors leading to the dean’s
reappointment yesterday as federal arbitrator of maritime problems.
Final Approval of Reappointment Is
Expected to Be Granted Soon by President
Erb; Unions to Abide by Dean's Decisions
The Pacific coast labor horizon brightened yesterday when a series
of telegrams flashed the length and breadth of the continent in an
apparently successful effort to return Wayne L. Morse, dean of the
University law school, to the post of coast maritime labor arbitrator
from which he resigned recently when a union failed to abide by his
decision.
Secretary of Labor Perkins started the ball rolling with the fol
lowing wire:
“Wayne L. Morse, dean of law
school, University of Oregon: I
have been assured that you are
mutually desired by both parties
as arbitrator under the extended
agreement on the west coast and
second that both parties will abide
by your decisions. Under these cir
cumstances I desire that you con
tinue to serve as arbitrator. Will
you not let me have your accept
ance at once by wire if possible?”
Dean Morse replied that he
would accept the reappointment
subject to the approval of Dr. Don
ald M. Erb, University president.
Morse’s answering wire read:
“I accept reappointment as arbi
trator under terms of your wire
just received, subject to final ap
proval of President Erb of Univer
sity. Erb is at Empire Hotel, San
Francisco, today and I suggest
Steelman communicate with him
there. Sincerely hope my services
will continue to enjoy your confi
dence and will prove to be of value
to you in important work which
you are doing.”
Dean Morse, who accepted the
reappointment on the condition
that all future decisions handed
down by him be complied with im
mediately, wired President Erb a
copy of Secretary Perkins' tele
gram, a copy of his reply and ad
ded:
“Extension period about 60 days.
Confident I can do work to credit
of University and without sacrifice
to law school. In view of coast
| wide interests involved hope you
! can see your v/ay clear to grant
I me permission to accept appoint
ment. However shall be pleased to
conform to your pleasure in mat
ter.”
Although no word has yet been
received from President Erb, ap- j
proval of Morse’s reappointment is |
expected.

Conflicting Events
Cause Delay
Of ASUO Fall Frolic
Although ASUO cards read
that there is to be a campus
Fall Frolic for card owners this
Saturday night, the dance will
not be held until some later
date, Les Harger, assistant edu
cational activities director, said
last night.
The dance is not to be can
celed, he said, but merely post
poned for a few weeks. Conflict
ing dates caused the change.
