UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1939
NUMBER 41
Australia
Theme of
Assembly
* Phi Theta's Frosh
Hear Miss Bannon
On Anzac Situation
As big as the United States, but
with only a fraction of the popu
lation is the way Miss Elizabeth
M. Bannan, acting professor of
English and exchange teacher
from the University of Sidney,
described Australia to freshmen
at the Phi Theta Epsilon assembly
yesterday.
Australia’s government also re
sembles ours, having a state and’
federal system and having strict
immigration laws as to the
. “white" policy.
* Japanese Covet
“Japan and China are regarded
very unfavorably,” said Miss Ban
nan, “because Australia is so
sparsely populated that the Ori
ental countries look at some of the
undeveloped spaces with covetous
eyes for their over-population.”
Turning the discussion to the
college life, Miss Bannan men
tioned that there was a University
located in every state, but sorori
ties and fraternities were un
known.
“Clothes are similar, but if one
of our fellows in their schools
clothes were put down on an Aus
tralian campus, the students would
wonder what on earth had hap
pened to him,” Miss Bannan said.

in C Sharp Minor” and “Winter
Wind Etude.” Brahms will be rep
resented by offerings of his Rhap
sodie in B Minor” and “Intermezzo
in A Major.”
The two most dramatic selec

graduate of '39, will speak on his
work near the Grand Coulee dam

possible before the area is flooded.
Bob Stephenson, president of
^ the Anthropology club, announced
that the meeting will be open to
the public.
Earliest 'Birds'
Get'um * Worm’
Air Books' Find
Missing the last class session
of the flying school brought sor
row to three of the alternates.
Last Tuesday was the fateful
night. A telegram from Wash
ington, D. C.t was in the hands
of the instructor authorizing the
enrollment of 10 new men in the
course. As the names were called
from the ranks of the alternates
according to priority and grade
point average, two failed to
answer. The call of home and
turkey had added an unauthor
ized day to their vacations. The
third came in late, but the list
was completed.
Although the original three
are “out in the cold,” three other
delighted alternates are now
numbered among the elite 50
flying school students.
Pan-Hellenic
To Be Santa
To Six Coeds
Deadline Set for
Petitions for Next
Term Greek Grants
Six deserving coeds will receive
Christmas greetings from the Uni
versity of Oregon’s Panhellenic as
sociation in the form of tuition
payments for winter term, it was
voted last night at a special meet
ing of the all-sorority organiza

Although scholarship gifts have
been an annual Yuletide custom of
Panhellenic for three years, grants
this year were increased $5 over
former allotments. The six girls
who are to be honored by Christ
mas scholarships this year will
each receive checks for $35, ac
cording to Aurelie Wolcott, presi
dent.
Deadline December 15
“Although the scholarships in
past years have usually been
awarded to independent women
because they usually need it more
than Greek members,” Mis Wol
’cott explained, “sorority women
are invited to apply, and are some
times given the award.”
December 15 is the deadline
when the girls must file their ap
plication for the scholarships in
the1 dean of women’s office.
Naming of the six winners will
be made by a board of Panhellenic
officers in cooperation with Dean
of Women Hazel P. Schwering.
Applicants will be judged on the
bases of scholarship, character,
and need of help winter term.
The Panhellenic council last
night also discussed winter term
rushing plans, and heard reports
from sorority women in charge of
reorganizing the group’s rush
week handbook for 1940.

Of January 5 Hop
In Gerlinger Hall
Postponed from this Friday
night, the fall term student body
dance will get the winter term so
cial season underway January 5
in Gerlinger hall. The event was
changed because of conflicting en
gagements.

because of the agreement as stated
on the card they will serve as
tickets of admission. Winter term
cards will also be accepted.
Theme Announced
Basketball will be the theme of
the hop which will honor the na
tional basketball champions. It
will correspond to the “Hobson

ketball team completed its victor
ious season last year and will
serve as a rally dance to spur this

Graybeal Tops in
Nation in Field
Goal Department
By RAY FOSTER
The king of the fall sports, foot
ball, goes out for 1939 with the
satisfaction to the home fan that
the University of Oregon had its
most successful season since 1934.
They stand now tied for fourth
place in the tough coast confer
ence with Washington, each with
three wins, and also a tie for the
Ducks. Also go out 13 senior grid
iron men to distant parts.
Coach Tex Oliver ended his sec
ond season at Oregon after show
ing that his teams can be as in
teresting and as entertaining as
any on the Pacific coast. They also
showed the larger schools down
south that they can play more
than just listless ball they were
branded as playing.
Poor Californians!
In the first game, they tied the
now Rose Bowl favorites, El Tro
jan, 7 to 7. Then in quick succes
sion, California and Stanford went
down to destruction, to place the
Webfoots in a favored place on
top of the standings.
This leadership lasted only a
couple of weeks, until a never-say
die Bruin from UCLA tripped
them, 16 to 6. This came after a
let-down against Gonzaga, ending
up on a short end of a 12 to 7 loss.
A weak Washington State team
got swept clear off its feet, and
almost all the way back to Pull
man, by an enraged Webfoot team,
38 to 0. It was the frrst time in
the fall that Oregon had scored
more than a single touchdown in
a game.
Then came the well-balanced
Beaver team from Corvallis, and
in the best game of the season,
OSC won its fourth straight “civil
war,” 19 to 14. Two “prayer”
passes by the Smith-Graybeal duo
netted both Oregon scores.
The wind-up was the 20 to 13
loss to a much improved Washing
ton outfit. Graybeal made the
points for his team, including his
third field goal, to place him in
the top position in the nation in
this department.
Curtain Will Go Up on
French Movie at 8:15
"Grand Illusion," the moving
picture sponsored by Pi Delta Phi,
