YMCA Plans Full Slate Of Activities Schedule Includes Trips, Hikes, Talks, Sutley Says With fall term activities rapidly falling into working stride, the Oregon YMCA, according to Ex ecutive Secretary Paul Sntley, is this year planning one of the busi est calendars in its history. Most important event on sched ule at present is the membership and finance campaign which will last until Tuesday, November 21. This will be followed by a list of activities including the YM-YW cabinet retreat on December 8 and 9. Mr. Sutley announced yesterday that the committee on creative leisures, under direction of Larry Hopkins, is planning a bicycle trip next Sunday for members of both the men’s and women’s Christian organizations. The same group will sponsor an organized hike Friday, November 24, through Hendricks pjirk. Don Walker, chairman of the commission on economic, political, and social problems, has also post ed a tentative program of discus sion classes for the rest of this year. Probable speakers, with their topics, have been scheduled as fol lows: November 29, John Casteel, "The Pacifist Approach to War”; December 6, Dr. Calvin Crumbak er, "Economic Causes and Effects of War”; and December 13, Victor P. Morris, “America's Relation to the Present War.” Meetings will be on Wednesday afternoons at 4 o'clock in the YMCA lounge, and all students are invited to attend. According to Sutley, the gatherings will not be “just another lecture” but will give students real opportunity to dis cuss problems of everyday im portance. Emerald Faces Blackout Crisis With Tapers, Talk “Blackout!” . . . “The Light That Failed.” No, the Germans haven't come, neither is this a publicity ad for the perennially favorite novel. Eut at 8 o’clock last night all the lights in the journalism shack “piddled” on and off, then “pffftod” out. “Who done it? . . . Now quit it! . . . Will somebody get a can dle, (lain it!” These and other ejaculations echoed about the place as Jim mie Leonard's copy-desk staff suddenly found itself behind the “eight ball.” In one corner a flame flared up then "pewed.” Soon the dark confines of the copy-desk office was doing a good imitation of one of those firefly-infested caves in Aus tralia. What caused the blackout? According to observers some photographic “doohickie” Charlie Kenyon plugged into a light switch was too much for the fuse, and it went “kaflooey.” However, the incident was passed off with a shrug, because Ken yon happened to be “shooting” some publicity “mugs" of Em erald workers. What price publicity! Hanen (Continued from Pa<ic Three) He has toured several of Ore gon’s leading courses in good scores. He has shot Laurelwood in a G9, 71, and 72; the first nine at the Eugene country club in 35; Alderwood in 72; Riverside in 72; Rogue Valley country club in 72; and Marshfield in 63.

With two wins to their credit in as many years past, to surpass all other houses, the Chi O’s, under the three firsts rule, took the cup for “keeps.” Thirty-four registered alumni was the number recorded by Kap pa Sigma which copped the award for first place among the men’s houses. Last year the cup went to Delta Tau Delta. Commenting on the registration, Elmer Fansett, alumni secretary, said that undoubtedly many grads returned to the homes of their col lege days without recording the fact. “In all probability competi tion would have been much closer if all houses had made an effort to keep a closer check,” he stated. Erb Praises ROTC Parade Praising the “splendid appear ance of the ROTC in the Armis tice day parade,” Donald M. Erb, president of the University, con gratulated the military depart ment on its fine organization in a letter received yesterday by Col onel Robert M.

Lyon ‘Department of Military Science | University of Oregon Dear Colonel Lyon: On behalf of the University I wish to congratulate the Reserve Officer’s Training Corps upon its splendid appearance for the Armis tice Day parade on November 11, 1939. When it is considered that the majority of the students have been under training for only three hours per week for six weeks, the gen eral set-up of the corps and its showing in ranks is a matter of which we can be very proud. For six hundred and twenty-five students to turn out voluntarily on a holiday, and Homecoming Satur day at that, with its thousand con flicting interests, to do honor to the University in representing it on this patriotic occasion speaks ; well for the loyalty of its under graduates. I The visitors, the parents, and the alumni who witnessed the parade can be assured that the traditions ot loyal, patriotic service are being maintained at this institution.
