Webfoots to Tackle Vandals
Adamic
To Speak
Tuesday
Authors Works
Often Condemned;
Often Praised
Louis Adamic, who will appear
at McArthur court at 7:30 Tues
day, has written some of the most
widely discussed books of the last
15 years.
“Dynamite,” a record of Vio
lence in the labor movement and
his latest, “Dinner at the White
House,” have been botfi damned
and applauded all over the United
States.
Often criticized, sometimes re
viled, his social philosophy is not
narrowly nationalistic, but implies
an understanding of the needs of
all men everywhere. He has a mys
tical belief in the American Pro
cess which in spite of countless
failures and setbacks, has been
for 200 years working for more
liberty and equaltity.
His aspiration is to see a smooth
intergration of the conflicting
races and elements in the Ameri
can scene.
Danish Patriot
To Visit Campus
Danish Bent W. Jorgensen, who
once evaded the Gestapo by escap
ing over rooftops while the Ger
man officers came up the stairs of
his home to arrest him, will arrive
on the campus tomorrow to help
promote the WSSF drive.
Wanted by the Nazis as editor of
an underground newspaper, the
Free Press, during the German oc
cupation of Denmark, Jorgensen
created an entirely new identity
for himself with false papers.
A law graduate representing a
country which has made great
strides toward full recovery and a
student body which is a contribu
tor to World Student Relief, he
brings information on student
needs in less fortunate European
countries through his travels on
the continent since the war. Jor
gensen visited Germany and
France and spent the past summer
with an international group of stu
dents in Yugoslavia.
Jorgensen will speak Monday at
4 p.m. in alumni hall, Gerlinger to
WSSF house contact people. The
meeting will be open to the public.
Sunday night Jorgensen and
Captain Hsu Kai Yu, graduate stu
dent in journalism, will make short
visits to meetings of Baptist, Lu
theran, Christian, and Congrega
tional groups, and Wesley and
Westminster houses.

'Exchange Riot' by Freshmen
Results in Disciplinary Action
By BOB FBAZ1KK
Twenty-seven freshmen women
from Susan Campbell hall were dis
ciplined Thursday night by the dean
of women and the hall council, af
ter participating in an “exchange
riot” with men from Villard hall.
The action was the first taken
under a resolution of Heads of
Houses and Inter-fraternity coun
cil, which aimed to stop the “van
dalism” and water-fights thnt
have become almost a nightly fea
ture of campus life since the begin
ning of the term.

were originally threatened with
suspension and social probation for
several weeks, the final sentence
culminated in their being "cam
pused” for two weeks.
Rumors spread rapidly over the
campus Thursday night about the
“third degree” and “star chamber”
methods being used in Susan
Campbell hall, where Dean of Wo
men Golda Wickham was meeting
with house officers, the house
mother, and the girls involved.
Story Confused
The story remains confused, and
it is virtually impossible to put
down an accurate chronology, but
this is the way it seems to be:
Living organizations (male and
female) have been exchanging in
pleasantries all term. A number
of front doors have been unhinged,
a quantity of furniture has been
strewn among the wrong living
organizations, and water-bagging
and mud fights have been the or
der of the evening in a number of
organizations.
Showers Reported
There have also been reports of
“tubbings” and showers (all with
clothes, of course) on a coeduca
tional basis.
Dean Wickham told the Emerald
yesterday that she had been asked
by a women’s house to try to put
a stop to the practice, since the
house was'worried over possible
destruction of furnishings, yet
didn't want to be consicjerad
“chintzy” by not playing the game.

Two to Five Goal
Edge for Oregon
By FRED TAYLOR
University of Oregon’s high
flying gridders tackle the Ida
ho Vandals today on Hayward
field, in the Ducks’ first con
ference game of the 1947 sea
son on home soil. Game time
is 2 p.m.
A brief memorial service in
honor of the late governor,
president of the senate, and the
secretary of state will be held
just before kickoff.
Dan Garza, pass catching
left end, was named captain of the
Webfoot squad for today’s game.
Garza, 190-pound junior, is the
number two man in Oregon’s po
tent Van-to-Dan aerial combina
tion besides being one of the top
defensive wingmen on the Pacific
coast.
Last Home Game
Today’s game will be the last
home performance of the Eugene
club until the Oregon State home
coming fray November 22. The
Ducks take to the road for two
weeks to meet Washington State
at Pullman and Stanford at Palo
Alto.
Highlighting today’s battle if
weather conditions permit will be a
duel between the Pacific coast's
top two passers. Oregon’s rifle
armed quarterback, Norm Van
Brocklin, will attempt to out-throw
Idaho’s second place sharpshooter,
Billy Williams.
The weatherman’s prediction for
today holds no promises of favor
able conditions for the aerial aces,
however. His report forecasts a
heavy overcast all afternoon, with
scattered showers.
Better Season Record
Idaho enters the game with a
better season’s record than the
Webfoots .The Vandas have racked
up three victories and two defeats
this year, to three triumphs and
three losses for the Eugene crew.
Past history leans heavily in the
Ducks’ favor. Rivalry between the
schools has covered 30 games, of
which Oregon has won 26, lost 2,
and tied 2.
For the first time in four games
the Webfoots will be heavy favor
ites. Dopesters are giving the host
club a margin of from two to five
touchdowns over the visitors.
Oregana Sales

Special 1948 Oregon sales in the
Co-op will continue through the
early part of next week, the year
book business staff announced to
