I nifruld 1'Unto h /Y.V \f-<r Hayward Field Scene of Small Fire The nia s exodus of football farm from thi- southwest corner of the Hayward Kidd grandstand during the fourth quarter of Saturday's Oregon-ldaho clash had nothing to ilo with the score of the game. A fire had broken out on a tar paulin rov ring some tackling dummies under the grandstand. When the smoke came through the grandstand, the fans decided to evacuate. A stream of water from a gar den hose was directed upon the blaze, and when this failed, city polic e went into action with a 100 loot hose and yut the blaze''out be fore firemen arrived. Eugene Fire Chief Ed Surfus, who had been watching the game, directed op erations. Surfus stated that the fire prob ably was started by a cigarette ^dropped in the oil on the tarpaulin. He added that damage consisted of "holes in three tackling dum mies" and the effects of water upon “sacks of lime or fertilizer” in the area.

Exercises Feature Huge Procession; Conant Declares Communism Out The five - block - long academic procession which led the way to the convocation exercises formed on the old campus near Deady and Villard, among the earliest build ings constructed on the Oregon campus. The brightly-colored hoods de noting academic rank provided a brilliant contrast to the sombre black gowns as the procession, headed by the flags of the United .Slates, the state of Oregon and the University, moved across the campus toward McArthur court. An ocasional rounded hat in place of the traditional motarboard cap and the rare colored gown marked graduates of foreign uni versities. Wash Ur Leads Column P. R. Washke. president of the faculty senate, led the two-abreast column. He was followed by Presi dent Newbum and Conant. Stu dent: and townspeople lined the walk as professors, delegates and members of learned societies pass ed slowly by Johnson hall to Gcr linger and up University street. The University of Oregon band, under the direction of Ira Lee, played "March Catillon" as the line entered McArthur court and seated itself in the center of the auditor ium. Members of the platform pai ty were seated on a stage at the south end of the court. Invocation Delivered The Rev. George Swift, rector of Rt. Pauls’ Episcopal church of Sa lem. delivered the invocation. His prayer was followed by messages of congratulation from Paul L. Patterson, president of the Oregon state senate: Dr. R. K. Kleinsorge, vice president of the state board of education; Morgan S. Odell, presi dent of Lewis and Clark college, speaking for independent colleges of Oregon; Hoyt Trowbridge, pro fessor of English, speaking for the faculty; William N, Russell, presi dent of the Oregon alumni associa tion; and Bill Carey, ASUO presi dent. Newburn delivered a re sponse. Following Conant's address the Oregon band played the “Oregon Pledge Song.” The Benediction was delivered by the Rev. Wesley Nieh ohon. pastor of the Congregational church of Eugene. The academic procession retired from McArthur court to the strains of a march by Handel. Speaker Urges World Unification The United States should remain in the United Nations in the inter est of organization of a future world social order, despite ideol ogical conflicts between Commu nistic nations and the West, Nor man A. M. MacKenzie, president of the University of British Colum bia, said P'riday. MacKenzie addressed faculty members, students and delegates gathered in the Student Union ballroom to observe the opening session of the University of Ore gon's 75th anniversary celebration. "We are working with a primi tive form of the organization of woild governments." MacKenzie stated. "Such a system is neces- I sary to provide for the well being | of all human beings." The university president, an au- ; thority on international law, ad- j mitted that the principal problem ■ Involved was not the drawing up of a world social order but its en- j forcement through consent of the world's people. Soviet Russia and the United States both believe in the exten (Please tun to page seven) Seles Continue Through Tuesday Announces Isaak The Oregana late sales campaign will continue through Tuesday, j Nov. 6. it has been announced by ' Chuck Isaak, Oregana business | manager.

Inside Story of Daily Emerald Workers Related; Production Takes Many Hours, Many Talents By Ward Lindbeck Here's your paper. The Emerald offices are silent rfow. Only two persons are working. The delivery man has made most of his deliv eries. It's about time to quit and gut ready for class. Tuc news or one of his assistants is busy making out the “tip sheet” before his classes be gin. The sheet must be posted be fore noon to give reporters enough time to contact their news sources. The Shacks doors open around nine a.m. But except for a few passers-through, the offices arc empty until about 1:30. During the morning reporters drift in to get their day's assignment, one or two type, out quick stories called in by someone. The editors usually meet for a moment or two, discuss ing the coming paper. Ad sales men are told to get ads, records are filed. The editors for the day’s paper being coming in around 3 p.m. Some new copy has been tin ned in, it is edited. Old stories are checked for new angles, hold-over copy is edited, city newspapers are read for possible local news. The copy from reporters comes in faster now. A telephone ringc, the story must he taken down. A story breaks that wasn't planned, someone has to cover it, often the editor on duty. The phone rings again, another story, this time about a meeting. Ad side workers have been in the shack since two o'clock. Salesmen bring in ad orders, lay-outs are drawn up. Ads are called in by phone. And records of every ad, the time it is to run, how much copy, how much it cost, must all be filed to keep mistakes to a mini mum. Editorials were written the night before or early in the morning. The editorial page has the earliest deadline of all, its copy must be at the press by 4 :30 p.m. Bibler’s | cartoon has been picked, the col umn written and edited. Letters to the editor, received the night be fore, are carefully read and an swers writ tens. Copy desk workers come in around 4 o'clock p.m. They gather aiound a horseshoe-shaped desk, the make-up editor in the well or center. News copy is taken from the news office, the make-up editor reads enough to sec the story's im portance. He decides the headline size, the column space, and then turns it over to one of his assist ants. The assistant, struggling with word counts, writes the head line. Then the copy is rushed to the press shop. Linotype operators arc given a story, they type and cast it quickly. Most headlines are set by hand. The story, set in type with its head, is locked in a form and is ready for the press. Lights go on in the Shack. Type writers tap noisily until about 5:30 p.m. People drift from the office, taking a break for dinner. Dead line time. 4:30 has passed, but much more news will come in. At 6:30 p.m. the editor for the night comes back to the Shack. Al most immediately the phone rings. Press shop calling; they're out of copy. If copy is available, it is quickly edited, heads written, and rushed to the waiting linotypists. Copy deck workers return. Story by story, the paper is assembled. Over at t-he University press, students are setting heads, reading proofs, and taking page proofs. The linotype machines set type, type is assembled and locked in forms. But there is still some blank space to fill. Some reporters are covering meetings and speeches. About 9 or 9:30 p.m. they come in, rush to a typewriter and pound out their stories. The copy is edited, and again a (1'lease turn to payc seven) "As far as I am concerned, card holding members of the Commu nist party are out of bounds a* members of the teaching profes sion," stated James G. Conant, president of Harvard university, in an address before the 75th anniver sary convocation Friday afternoon. He emphasized, however, that with the single exception of Com munism, a professor’s political views, social philosophy and re ligion are no concern of a univer sity, provided they are within tho law. "Kduration depends on the free dom of inquiry, and requires tho independence of the university fac ulty, ' he said. learning Centers Vital "As long as centers of learning reflect the essence of diversity of opinion and tolerance of opinion, America will remain strong no matter what lies ahead," Conant stated. Speaking on the subject, “Uni versity Education and National Se curity," Conant traced the devel opment of the general education system in the English speaking colleges, as against the university traditions of learning for its own sake and the professional schools. "All American universities have the task of holding the balance of those three elements in the univer sity tradi’ion,” he pointed out. Conant also went into the prob lems faring the American univer sity as a result of the present na tional mobilization program and the drafting of men and the use of faculty members in various de fense projects. War Claimed Avoidable Conant believed that the present situation would not immediately develop into a full-scale war, say ing "if we are patient, strong anti courageous, we may avoid war,” but pointing out that there were no immediate prospects of peace. He said that the university should not assume that the strug gle would be long or short, but should give in to mobilization. If university faculty members must be used in national defense proj ects, Conant said, it must be made ceitain that it is necessary as teaching standands must not be lowered through loss of faculty members. "Education can be adapted to the present situation." he said, "an this has happened before." In the case of those men who will have their education interrupted by service in the armed forces. Con ant recommended giving them all the help they need when they re turn to finish thir education. Faust Emphasizes Humanities' Role Return to emphasis on the hu manities and their concern for the values of truth and excellence was urged by Clarence Faust, a direc tor of the Ford Foundation, in the main address of Friday night’s 75th anniversary dinner. University President H. K. New burn concluded the remarks of the dinner with an emphasis on the contribution of persons to the founding and growth of the Uni versity of Oregon and a pledge for the future. Faust, in his address, "The Place of the Humanities in a University,” asserted that the humanities must deal with the problems of bringing the values of truth and excellence to the people, since some other group will do so if the humanities do not. He said society would deal with the same, problems that uni ( Please turn to page seven)
