►* VOLUME L _ Fiftieth Year of Publication and S endec to the University UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1948 _SO NUMBER ♦ Eugene May Miss Broadcast Morning Rally Scheduled For Michigan Departure An emergency call for a big turn-out at the airport between 6:30 and 6:45 a.m. tomorrow has been issued by the rally board chairman Alex Murphy. The occasion? The team takes off for Ann Arbor, with a tough Michigan game in prospect. Biggest obstacle is to get people up and out. Houses are re quested to resort to drastic measures to awaken members—such as a 6 a.m. fire alarm or a commit tee to discourage late sleepers. Suggests Murphy: “If women’s houses are in need of transporta tion, social chairmen should get in touch with men’s organizations ahead of time to arrange rides.” This provides an excelelnt oppor : tunity for houses to demonstrate group organization. ( Team Needs Spirit It is particularly important that a large number of Webfoots rally ’round at the airport in view of last week’s epidemic of Stanford. ( One reason for the disappointg score at Palo Alto is considered to he the lack of spirit in the stands. A good crowd at the airport may give the team the lift it needs to put Oregon back in top place. Re < marking on the situation, Dan Gar za notes that: “It really helps team morale to see a crowd out to cheer" us on—especially since we’re rated as underdogs.” Free coffee—one cup per person •—will be served beginning at 6:30 a.m. This service is being donated by the University Man’s Shop, the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, Rush Inn, Taylor's, Kampus Kafe teria and Spudnuts. Additional color will be added by by the decorations committee, which plans to decorate the plane inside and out. Marv Horenstein and the rally girls will be on hand per usual. Several University officials have expressed doubt that there will be a turnout of any size. However, be cause of the extreme importance of the coming game, it is hoped that tomorrow’s rally will be the most sensational of the season. Weekend Heds To*Pick Theme The theme for the Homecoming Weekend will be decided today at the second meeting of all Home coming committee chairmen at 4 p.m. in the alumni office in Friend ly hall, according to Joan O’Neil, assistant chairman. All chairmen are urged to be present. The newly-formed publicity com mittee will meet Thursday at 3:30 in the alumni office. This commit » tee plans to send personal letters to the presidents of the Oregon al umni associations throughout Cali fornia, Oregon and Washington, in viting them to attend the 1948 Homecoming. They are asked to invite the members of their organ izations on behalf of the Homecom ing committee. This plan was used very successfully this summer in connection with the Jantzen Beach picnic. Members of the publicity com mittee are Barbara Heywood, Bet ty Lagomarsino, Darry Meiser, Dick Olson, Dolores Kletzing, and Gretchen Grondahl.

Groups which will participate in the Friday night activities include Wesley house, Westminster house, Canterbury club, Plymouth house, Newman club, the Lutheran, Chris tian, and Baptist churches, and pos sibly one or two others. Sponsoring Church night is the University religious council, an or ganization made up of representa tives of various campus religious groups. The council has been or ganized under its present constitu tion for the past three years; how ever, it has been on the campus in one form or another ever since the early 1920’s. Under the leadership of adviser Jack Merner and the student offi cers, the council sponsors several annual events, which include Re ligious Evaluation Week, World Student Service Fund drive, and an occasional vesper program. The council will also cooperate with the music school in the forthcoming production of Handel’s “Messiah.” Church night has been a campus tradition for a number of years, and is the opening event of Relig ious council activities. Further information concerning Church night, including a complete roster of participating groups and scheduled programs, will appear in the Friday Emerald. Petitions Accepted Petitions are still being accepted for the AWS auction to be held Oc tober 6, President Beverly Pitman announced. There are chairman ships of the decoration, poster, and property committees open, as well as positions on these committees and the publicity committee. Peti tions should be turned in by Thurs day noon to Anne Case at the Pi Beta Phi house. Stations May Be Unable To Bill Michigan Ball Game By LARRY LAU A gathering storm of protest broke over the heads of local radio station managers late Monday evening when it became apparent to University students and alumni that the Oregon Michigan football game may not be broadcast over Eugene sta tions KUGN, KASH or KORE. I he Columbia Broadcasting Whisker-Spots Open'for Sophs Petitions for positions as gen eral chairman, committee heads,e and committeemen for the Sopho more Whiskerino November 13 are available now at the offices of the deans of men and women, Herb Nill, sophomore president, an nounced yesterday. Committee heads to be named include those for ticket sales, publicity, dance, and the Betty Co-ed and Joe Col lege contest. Plans for the annual sophomore all-campus dance were begun last week at a meeting of class officers and their adviser, Vergil Fogdall. Tho other officers are Don Cairns, vice-president; Joanne Fitzmau rice, secretary; and Don Smith, treasurer. Petitioners are asked to pick up the applications when they secure eligibility slips from the dean’s of fice and then to drop them into boxes which have been placed in the Co-op store for that purpose. Petitions must be submitted not later than 4 p.m. Tuesday, October 5, and will not be considered unless an eligibility slip is attached to each. Y Seeks Members Freshmen who have not been con tacted through their living organi zation or dorm firesides but who wish to take part in the YWCA are urged to inform the Y as soon as possible, Shirley Lukins, member ship drive chairman, announced. Fogdall, Director of Men's’Affairs, Finds Diversity In Day's Work; Webfoot Scholarship is Chief Interest (Ed. note: This is the final in a series of interviews to acquaint new students with students affairs of ficers.) “No two days are alike in this office,” claimed Vergil Fogdall, di rector of men’s affairs, in an inter view yesterday. Illustrating his point, Mr. Fod dall told an anecdote concerning one University student, disqualified by the scholarship committee, who applied for reinstatement. A note was affixed to his petition, stating that some wasting disease had tem porarily lowered the boy’s I.Q., but that through injections of a special serum, his intelligence had been raised above its original level. “I was all ready to place a whole sales order for this wonderful ser um, as a boon to delinquent schol ars,” joked Mr. Fogdall, comment mg on this unique excuse for un der-2.00 grades.(For the informa tion of would-be mimics, the stu dent was not reinstated). Came to Eugene in 1947 A relative newcomer to the Ore gon campus, Mr. Fogdall arrived in Eugene in September, 1947, with his wife and three children. The young Fogdalls are the pride of their parents; a fatherly smile play ed over the director’s features as he revealed that Carol, aged 11, and Larry, eight, are studying piano and doing well in school. Ricky, the six-year-old son, completes the trio, and one suspects that there is never a dull moment at the Fogdall house. Mr. Fogdall’s office on the second floor of Emerald hall would be a child’s paradise, and would also in terest a student of machinery. A bright yellow scale model of a Cat erpillar tractor adorns one cabinet, while next to it stands a miniature replica of the latest washing ma chine—circa 1880. This is a souve nir of Mr. Fogdall’s teaching days, when his social studies classes in Iowa’s Burlington Junior College chose individual projects tying his tory in with their own personal in terests. U. S. history plus one ama teur woodcarver equals one wash ing machine. 12 Years at Burlington The director spent 12 years at Burlington, where he also was an instructor in journalism, and, for the last six years, dean of the school. Leaving this position, he be came dean of men at the University of Montana Branch at Havre, Mon tana. “Montana was awfully cold and (Please hern to page tu'o) company has exclusive radio rights in the Wolverin’s Ann Ar bor stadium and no Eugene radio station belongs to the CBS net work. Nearest station to broadcast, the contest will be KOIN in Port land, a station which is difficult to receive in Eugene. Leo Harris, Oregon’s athletic di rector, said, “We're doing every thing possible. We have contacted Associated Oil, the Columbia Broad casting company and the stations here in Eugene. The thing the stu dents will have to understand is that we have no control whatsoever over the stations. Harris to Help Harris added that James Morris of KOAC is at work figuring the line cost of the broadcast in addi tion to requesting Associated Oil to let them carry the game. Harris said that he told the various sta tions managers that the University would be glad to do what it could towards getting sponsors for the broadcast to defray the expenses. Several Eugene merchants when quizzed said they’d be glad to share in the expense if the broadcast could be brought to Eugene. Since Monday night, station, switchboards have been jammed! with queries and complaints con cerning the broadcast. Western Union had nearly forty telegrams and night letters pass through (Please turn to /’age three) Peerce Opens Concert Series In his eighth year with the Met ropolitan opera, Jan Peerce, tenor, will sing at McArthur court Thurs day, 8 p.m., thus opening the Eu gene and University Civic Music association series. The concert will be free to all students upon presentation of their registration cards. Faculty mem bers and residents must show their association membership cards. No tickets will be sold at the door, said G. E. Gaylor, president. Peerce, on his tenth national concert tour, has gained recogni tion as a master of the Italian style, although he has never studied or performed abroad. Among the honors bestowed upon the native New Yorker, a national poll of ra dio critics in 1946 showed him the favorite male singer. Arturo Tos canini, noted conductor, refers to him as "my favorite tenor.’’ Peerce has appeared with major symphony orchestras and radio broadcasts and has performed in two films. He is the first singer to come to the Metropolitan via radio. He has been engaged by Toscanini on 12 occasions, including the film ing of Verdi’s "Hymn of Nations.” He will be accompanied in con-* cert by Warner Bass, ,,
