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!

Alum Trophy
Permanently
Guests Number
I
41; Kappa Sigmas
Win Men's Prize
Olii Omega was awarded perma
nent possession of the trophy for
the girls’ living organization hav
ing the greatest number of regis
tered alumnae for homecoming
Monday when they announced that
41 had “signed on the dotted” over
the past weekend. 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. Lyons, head of
the military department.
“For G2!) students to turn out
voluntarily on a holiday, and
homecoming Saturday at that,
speaks well for the loyalty of its
undergraduates,” said President
Erb.
Colonel Lyon, himself, expressed
appreciation over the excellent
showing made by the ROTC last
Saturday.
“The huge turnout, the crack
appearance, and the splendid
marching. I am more enthusiastic
than ever over these new cadets.
I have received many compliments
from the various veteran organi
zations for the fine touch of color
that our men added to the occa
sion.”
The complete letter read as fol
lows :
i Colonel 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.
Very truly yours,
DONALD M. ERB,
President.
Royal 100 Years Old
It has been over 100 years from
the advent of the first practical
typewriter to the modern Royal
typewriter with the magic mar
gin.
Four thousand pounds of steel
were used in the production of
Royal typewriters in 1908. In 1930
nearly 10,000,000 pounds were
used. These figures show the rapid
growth of the Roya* since its in
troduction a few years ago, ere-,
atitig from tifne to time improved
models the Royal company con
stantly kept in mind the princi
ples on which the Royal typewrit
er was founded: “Greater speed
and ease of operation for the typ
ist and greater economy and en
durance for the business execu
tive.'’

WAYS TO HAVE A
GOOD TIME FOR
iVny one good time for a nickel would be a
bargain. But in this week’s Post, you get at
least ten kinds of entertainment, and a lot of.
timely information, all for 5 cents!
1> FOUR-WAY DRAMA. The leading story in this
week’s Post is recommended for (1) football fans, (2) en
gaged couples, (3) girls smitten with gridiron stars, and (4)
fathers who have sons in love with the wrong girl. Read
Yesterday’s Heroes, by a new Post writer, William Brent.
2. INFORMATION PIECE. Are you annoyed by people
who know "all about the war”? You can silence them by
revealing the important secret clause in the Rome-Berlin
axis agreement. You’ll find it in Demaree Bess’ article,
Mussolini Prepares for War. A radio dispatch from Geneva.
3. FUN WITH OUR FOUR-FOOTED PALS. Note to
U ives: When you see papa polishing his shotgun, quick—
get him Vereen Bell's yarn, Brag Dog, to read! He'll end
by wanting to own a bird-dog, of course. But you can talk
him out of that.
4. HIGH JINKS BETWEEN THE LINES. After the
game is over, read Tom Meany’s football article, Dixie Plays
for Blood. Not that the South fights the Civil War all over
again, you understand, but what's a kick in the face if the
referee isn't looking? Sizzling football stories retold by a
sports writer who’s watched the stretchers go by!
5. THE WOMAN IN THE CASE. "His wife doesn’t
*
Know it, but 1 hear .Professor Lorber
has been running around with that
good-looking school-teacher!”Is there
a girl in your neighborhood the men
all like and the women all hate? You'll
recall her, definitely, when you read
thestory on page ISof this week'sPost,
But Love the Sinner,, by Eve Bennett.
6. PLAY GOLF WITHOUT AGONY. Ever play with
somebody who keeps quoting rules —in his favor? Read
Frank Bunce’s story, Fore!, of the sweet young thing in
red shirt and shorts who got even with the club’s most
formidable player—by being up on rules we bet most
golfers haven’t even heard of!
7. SHARE YOUR PLEASURE in the Post with others.
Tell them how Father Divine produces thousand-dollar bills
with the dexterity of a magician, to feed regiments of negro
and white—"angels.” You’ll learn how when you read
Jack Alexander’s rollicking article, All Father’s Chillun
Got Heavens—about the half-pint messiah who admits
he is God,
8. GAME OF LOVE: (Played by 4). Is an
ambitious wife a spur or a knife in the back
to a husband starting in business? Here’s
the bittersweet story of two husbands whose
wives raced for "success.” Richard Sherman’s
Won’t You Walk a Little Faster?
9. BE A MAN-ABOUT-TOWN WITHOUT MOVING
AN INCH. You can enjoy a personally conducted tour
backstage with the First Lady of the Theatre.'Read about
the time Helen Hayes first met George M. Cohan; the time
she played to cowboys; wh^t happened in her first "grown
up” part. (It’s in the unique story of her life, by her moth
er, continued in this week’s Post. Third part of eight.)
10. FUN IN TAHITI WITH NORDHOFF & HALL.
it may be raining or snowing when you
take this week’s Post home. What do
you care? You’ll be IN Tahiti having a
gay time reading Out of Gas, the comic
adventures of the Tuttle family. You’re
in time to catch the second part of this
xiuvt-i, uv me ciuinors oi tnose best-sellers, T/ie
Hurricane, Mutiny on the Bounty and The Dark River.
ENCORE! Don't miss the editorial on page 22,
Chance to Go to 11 ork. And fourteen swell
cartoons. And poems (we direct your special
attention to one on page 24 entitled For The
Agony Column).
