Pep Assembly
Honors Senior
Football Players
Coach Tex Oliver,
ASOSC Prexy Talk;
Fraternities Sing
Tox Oliver, varsity coach, in a
rally assembly Thursday, showed
a spirit of reserved optimism con
cerning the Oregon State game.
“If we get half the breaks, Oregon
State will have to be at their very
best to beat us. Wo are more like
ly to win than we are to lose Sat
urday,” he said.
Coach Oliver appeared on the
assembly program immediately af
ter Dolph Janes had introduced
and interviewed eight graduating
seniors on the varsity who will be
playing their last collegiate game
at Corvallis Saturday.
Seniors Honored
Tart of the reason for the team's
being better prepared mentally,
physically, and emotionally, as he
says, for the Oregon State game
is the fact that the squad is dedi
cating the game as usual to the
“last game” seniors of the team,
he reported.
The eight men honored at the
assembly were Marshall Sten
strom, Dick Horne, Jim Mabee,
Len Isberg, Jim Harris, Buck Ber
ry, Jim Stuart, and Erling Jacob
sen.
ASOSC Prexy Speaks
Doug Chambers, ASOSC presi
dent, speaking to the Oregon stu
dents by his own request, expressed
his hope that the coming game
show only friendly rivalry and be
“the best grid battle on the coast
this weekend among four ‘grudge’
games.”
Zenas Butler, hot-lipped clarinet
specialist, had the rally rooters
asking for more as he squeezed
about every known sound out of
his instrument as the band accom
panied him in playing “Hold That
Tiger.”
Houses Perform
As arranged by Les Anderson
and Bette Morfitt, rally chairmen,
four living organizations per
formed informally in the assem
bly. Kappa Alpha Theta drew the
most applause for their rendition
of their sweetheart song. As an
encore the girls sang “Does Your
Heart Beat for Me.”
Three fraternities sang, also, as
a result of being drawn via the
fish bowl method to perform. Al
pha Tau Omega sang “Sweetheart
of ATO.” Pi Beta Alpha drew the
Oregon Pledge song as their se
lection. Beta Theta Pi, back on the
program for a second chance,
sang their version of the sweet
heart song, “Loving Cup.”
The Oregon band fired the as
sembly “hepsters” by leading them
in “Mighty Oregon." John Stehn
conducted the group.
Dean Victor Morris
Speaks to Youths
Of Church Group
Dean V. P. Morris of the BA
school was the principal speaker
at a gathering of 300 young peo
ple from all over the California
bay region this weekend when the
Christian Church Young People's
convention met in Modesto, Cali
fornia.
Dean Morris delivered three ad
dresses which dealt with the chal
lenge of these times to young peo
ple and the preparation needed to
meet the days in which we live.
Senior Photographs
All unaffiliated seniors, not
connected with campus living or
ganizations, are asked to appear
at the Kennell-EUis studio, Wed
nesday, December 4, to have
their picture taken for the Ore
gana, according to Wilbur Bish
op. Oregana editor. December 4
is the last day scheduled for Ore
gana pictures so the unaffiliated
, seniors, who desire their picture
to be shown 5n the Oregana,
should have the matter taken
care of on that date.
PRESIDES
Bob Keen presided in Villard
hall last night as senior class
members voted to present plans
for a winter term variety show to
the University administration.
Seniors Move
To Adopt Show
Voters Tentatively
Suggest Dropping
Traditional Dance
The unofficial senior class Thurs
day night tentatively adopted, sub
ject to approval by the adminis
tration, a variety show to be held
in McArthur court some time dur
ing winter term, in place of the
traditional Senior ball.
With 20 seniors present, and
only seven of those eligible to vote,
a straw vote was taken that
showed 13 in favor and 4 against
the proposal.
Presented Ideas
Jack Marsten, who received the
plans for the show from Moe
Jaffe, an eastern theatrical pro
ducer, and the music from Fred
Waring, presented his ideas of the
production tentatively drawing up
a budget of $1160, with the class
having $400 to back the show.
Gleeson Payne and Jim Pickett
led the discussion for the adoption
of the variety show; Dick Wil
liams and Charles Green upheld
the Senior ball, saying that the
variety show would be a _poor bus
iness venture.
Waring to Publish
The group that represented the
side for the variety show stated
that the show would bring the
University national recognition
through the fact that Fred Waring
will present the songs on one of
his nightly broadcasts, and will
publish the songs, according to
Marstens.
A committee composed of Dick
Williams, Sue Piel, Jim Pickett,
and Grace Irvin was appointed to
draw up the plans which Class
President Bob Keen will present as
soon as possible to the administra
tion.
At the beginning of the meeting,
the class adopted the model con
stitution as drawn up by Phil
Lowry, law student, without a dis
senting voice.

secretary of the State Board of
Higher Education, will discuss the

dress, “Progress in the State Sys
! tern of Higher Education.”
Sour Grapes No. 2
The theme of the assembly
Yesterday seemed quite ephemeral.
The talks were s’posed to be about
Tomorrow’s game in general.
It seemed to us they spent more
time
In running down the Emerald.

Scheduled to Address
Students Monday atll
Speaker Experienced as TVA Director,
Wisconsin Public Utilities Commissioner,
Lawyer After Graduation From Harvard
By DON BUTZIN
Speaker in the Gerlinger hall assembly at 11 o’clock Monday morn
ing is David E. Lilienthal, who at the age of 34 became one of the
three original directors of TVA. He is still one of the directors and
is in charge of power development on the project.
Admittedly a shrewd business man and one whose experience has
lent him a practicality highly desired on any government job, his
power development work with TV A
is not only on a sound financial
basis, but his power rates for peo
ple in the Tennessee valley are the
lowest for any large section of the
United States.
Made New Laws
Before accepting the position as
a TVA director in 1933, Mr. Lilien
thal had been active in Wisconsin
state utility work. As state public
utilities commissioner he prepared
a complete revision of the public
utilities statutes, which revision
became law and served as model
for a number of other states.
The assembly speaker gained ex
perience as a lawyer after graduat
ing from Harvard in 1923. His first
associate was Donald R. Richberg,
Chicago attorney, who later be
came NRA legal counsellor.
Other Engagements
Mr. Lilienthal's only other speak
ing engagements before his ap
pearance here on this trip west will
be in Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco. After his speech here he will
go on to Portland to discover for
himself something about one of the
Northwest’s power projects, the
Bonneville dam.
Military Honorary
Inducts 10 Fledges
Ten pledges were initiated into
Scabbard and Blade, national mil
itary honorary, Wednesday eve

national convention in Washing
ton, D. C., reported on his eastern
trip at the fireside which was held
at the conclusion of the initiation.
New members of the military
honorary include: Sam Knight,
John Rice, Bob Rogers, Nate Cole
man, Stan Staiger, Oli Evenson,
Floyd Kirkpatrick, Shelton Ingle,
Dean Vincent, and Major Charles
Edward Knickerbocker, assistant
professor of military science.
Dr. Hayes Elected
New Vice-President
Of Coast Association
At the recent meeting of the
Pacific coast section of the Amer
ican Student Health association
held in Fresno, Californfa, Dr. Mar
ian Hayes of the Oregon student
infirmary was elected vice-presi
dent of the organization for the
coming year.
Others who made the trip in
cluded Drs. Fred Miller, Leslie
Porter, and Anderson.
“The annual meeting next yeai
will be held at Stanford univer
versity,” Dr. Porter stated, “as we
will help them observe their 50th
anniversary as a college.”
AWS to Donate

these dark retreats. Girls’ living
organizations are also being asked
to put all their old clothes and
shoes in a box for British relief,
and the AWS will collect them.
Mrs. J. Bishop Tngle is in charge
of the money turned into the Eu

in charge.
Mrs. Wendell Van Loan, head of
vocational training, will speak on
“Careers for Women” at a meet
ing of the AWS a week from

McNeil Takes
Leading Role
In Guild Plag

tition to Leslie Howard when he
appears in the leading role, Peter
Standish, in the Guild theater play

Peter Standish is the part made
famous by Leslie Howard on the
stage and screen. Although McNeil
does not have the international
fame of Mr. Howard, he has
achieved near-perfection as a
character actor. In “Idiot's De
light,” he will be remembered for
his portrayal of the German, Mr.
Walderstee, and for the superb
makeup that was his own crea
tion.
In “Terrible Meek”
He also appeared as the officer
in the “Terrible Meek,” and before
coming to the University he was
very active at Parks college, Kan
sas City, Mo.
In “Berkeley Square,” he plays
his straight lead which should take
him out of the type classification
and make him a versatile actor.
The cast, under the direction of
Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, head of the
drama division, is a new group of
players including: Edward Bur
tenshaw, Pat Taylor, Helene Par
sons, Jerry Lakefish, Betty Jane

Repairs Will CJose
Warner Museum
During December
The Murray Warner art museum
will he closed in December for ex
tensive repairs in the lighting sys
tem, Mrs. Lucy Perkins, curator,
announced yesterday. It is hoped
that the museum will be ready for
a reopening the beginning of win
ter term, and a new exhibit is
being planned for the occasion.
The art library in the same build
ing will be open as usual, however,
every day except Saturday and
Sunday until exam week, an
: nounced Mrs. Marjorie Reynolds,
librarian.
Why [Registration Starts January 2
fhe fact that the academic
year must include a certain num
ber of actual days of instruction”
and a pre-planned schedule makes
a change in registration dates now
impossible is the reason which
President Donald M. Erb gives for
the situation which will inconven
I ience some students in registering
! winter term.
“No change can be made in the
scheduled date of opening the win
ter quarter of this academic year,”
jhe stated.
Schedule Made Up
He explained that the present
schedule was made up a year ago,
approved by representatives of all
the institutions in the Oregon
State System of Higher Educa
tion, and was printed in the cata
log that came out last spring.
“Due to the calendar for the
years 1940 and 1941, there were
only three ways of fitting the aca
demic year into the calendar
years,” he stated, “and those three
ways were to open the fall quar
ter earlier, or curtail the Christmas
vacation, or run the academic year
later in June, 1941. Of the three
alternatives, the one that was cho
sen seemed most desirable.”
Dr. Erb said the board realized
the date set for winter quarter
registration would cause some in
convenience, but felt it couldn't
do otherwise.
Sorry About Dates
‘‘I am appreciative of the in
convenience that will be caused a
| number of students by the present
| date of opening the winter quar
j ter. I am also appreciative of the
, thoughtful and judicious state
1 ment of the case in the Emerald
| editorial (yesterday's paper, signed
R.N.V.)” Dr. Erb commented.
His comment was stimulated
mainly by the petition presented
to him by a student group Tues
day requesting a delay in the reg
istration date for winter quarter
from Thursday, January 2, 1941,
until Saturday, January 4, 1941.

Still Deadlocked
On Card Issue
Half 'n' Half Group
Will Try to Reach
Settlement Today
The "freshman six” is still ap
parently deadlocked, according to
reports from committee members
and freshman class President Jim
Burness.
Burness said, however, that num
erous plans were under considera
tion and that he would meet with
the group again today and would
try for "a satisfactory settlement."
Fourth Meeting
Today's meeting will be the com
mittee's fourth since it was created
two weeks ago. According to re
ports from members of both camps,
"The other side" refuses to give in
enough for a compromise.
The committee, consisting of
three independents and three
Greeks, was appointed by Burness,
who asked them “to draw up plans
for feasible subsidizing of class
activities” without making class
cards necessary for voting privi
leges.
Appointments Made
Appointments were made after
a group of independent freshmen
petitioned the executive commit*
tee for adoption of a proposed
‘‘model’’ constitution. An amend
ment providing for the abolition of
class cards as necessary for the
right to vote in class elections was
included in the proposed document.
The executive committee re
ferred the petition to Burness who
appointed the six. Tom Boyden,
Dick Igl, and Oglesby Young repre
sent the Greeks and Chuck Wood
ruff, Jim Thayer, and Ted Hallock
represent the independents.
