POET-PROFESSOR MOLL Conferred coveted book-of-the - year honor by Australians for '40 with his "Cut From Mulga." PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ? JANUARY 1941 Annual Alumni Elections As the year '40 reduced itself to a pair ofnumerals on the Alumni Office calendar, Manager Elmer Fansett, '28, called theelection board together. In the office of Dr. Edward Ernest Gray, ex-'18, LaneCounty Alumni president, they met. With Chairman Gray was Major Delbert Stan-ard, '14, M.D. '21, outgoing president now stationed with the National Guard at CampMurray, Wash. Third party in the board's trio was C. Albert Chamberlin, '38, Christ-mas vacationing at his Roseburg home be- fore returning to Northwestern universityfor winter term. When the mail ballots were read, tallied,checked three times for possible inaccura- cies, Dr. Gray announced Hollis N. John-ston, ex-'21, president of the University Alumni Association for 1941. A Portlandarchitect, Johnston had just completed a year of service as vice-president. Glancing further down the tally sheet,the chairman read the name Forrest E. Cooper, '27, J.D. '28, as newly elected vice-president. Lake County Alumni Director Cooper served as national 20-30 club presi-dent in 1933. Today he is a practicing at- torney in Lakeview. With many changes to be made in the di-rectorate, the elective officials will first busy themselves appointing new or reappointingold directors to the Alumni Council. The response to requests for prospective ap-pointees on the mail ballots was healthy, according to Manager Fansett. Many weresuggested for areas outside the state as well as within Oregon's 36 counties.Under the leadership of Major Stanard, the Alumni Association evidenced a suc- cessful year. Predominantly fruitful hasbeen the county directorate system. This set-up became the off-spring of a consti-tutional revision more than a year ago. Alumni President-elect Hollis N.

OLD OREGON ELMER FANSETT, Alumni Ssoiatary ROY VERNSTROM, Editor Vol. XXII January 1941 No. 5 Honor From xDown Under' sy Best book of year 1940, chosen by Commonwealth Literary committee of Aus- tralia, was "Cut From Mulga," authored by bewhiskered Ernest G. Moll, Ore- gon's associate professor of English. Coveted by every writer "down under" is this recognition. Although an Americanized Australian, Jerry Moll is still claimed by his homeland fans as theirs. News Bureau Manager Godfrey, runner of risky rapids and writer of University happenings, describes the popular prof as poet, naturalist, educator and fisherman.?Ed. GEORGE H. GODFREY, '29 went to Colorado college as a member ofthe faculty, and two years later returned to Australia where he spent some time intravel and study. He came back to Colorado college for a year in 1927, and in 1928 joinedthe English staff of the University of Ore- gon. Except for last year when he was ab-sent on leave to teach in Sydney, he has been here since that time. In Oregon, Professor Moll has foundwhat he believes is the ideal locale for a poet and a lover of the out-of-doors, andat the University of Oregon he has found congenial colleagues and interesting and in-terested students. During vacations and often on week-ends he tramps the Oregonwoods, adding to his bird lore something in which he is also remarkably skilled, or fill-ing his creel with fighting trout. One sum- mer, which resulted in a delightful book ofpoems, he spent as a ranger-naturalist at Crater Lake. Before "Cut From Mulga'' won the honoraccorded it by the Australian government, Professor Moll had already written note-worthy books, both prose and verse. In 1927, Vinal publishing house of New Yorkbrought out "Sedge Fire," a group of po- ems largely of Australia, which definitely es-tablished him as one of the country's note- worthy young writers. Four years later,"Native Moments" was published by the Metropolitan press in Portland, and in 1933he was the author of a standard text, "Ap- preciation of Poetry," published by Croftsof New York. PROLIFIC WRITER Of special delight to his friends here inOregon is "Campus Sonnets," a collection of verse depicting observations and moodsabout the University. "Blue Interval," in- spired by Crater Lake, appeared in 1935.While his earlier volumes have all been worthwhile and praiseworthy, "Cut FromMulga" definitely stamps Professor Moll as a leading poet of two continents. So im-pressed was the Australian prime minister with the manuscript that he personally pre-sented it to the commonwealth publica- tions committee. The entire field of lettersis carefully combed before the "book of the year" is chosen and published by this When Jerry Moll, shortly after movingto Eugene some 12 years ago, decided he wanted to be a fisherman?a real fisher-man in true western style?he didn't rush down to a sporting goods store and letsome salesman outfit him with all the tackle, lures, and gadgets in stock. Instead,he spent considerable time just going along with other fishermen. While up the Mc-Kenzie or Willamette rivers on outings, he studied the streams, the food habits of thefish, and the best and most simple methods of attracting them to lures.Then, when he had a working knowledge of the sport, and a definite idea of what hewanted, he purchased a rod, line, reel, net, flies and leaders, and set about the businessof catching fish. He became a good fisher- man, and all the joys that only good fisher-men know were his from that time on. This same careful, thoughtful prepara-tion for tasks as well as pleasures, has marked the career of Ernest G. Moll, pro-fessor and poet. He is loved by his students at the University of Oregon, who find hima sympathetic, yet forceful, dynamic teacher. He is loved by other poets for thecourageous, yet altogether charming style of verse. And other thousands, neither stu-dents nor poets, who are lovers of creative writing, hold him in highest respect for hisliterary work and for his achievements in the world of letters. BORN IN 1900 Professor Moll's talent has spanned thevast Pacific, for his latest book, "Cut From Mulga," has the coveted distinction of be-ing the official publication in creative writ- ing for the year of the Commonwealth ofAustralia. Word of this honor, and advance copies of the volume, have just reachedhere. Much of the work on the poems that comprise this book was done during thepast year, when Professor Moll was an exchange professor to the University ofSydney. But for material he drew on mem- ories of his boyhood and youth, which hespent on the continent "down under." Born at the turn of the century, August25, 1900, in Victoria, Australia, Professor Moll studied at Concordia college in thatcountry from 1913 to 1918, then came to the United States to attend Lawrence col-lege, in Wisconsin in 1920, and in two years he was graduated with a bachelor of artsdegree. He then went to Harvard, where in a year he obtained his master of artsdiploma. He spent the summer of 1922 "Honor From 'Down Under'" is written by Oregon's veteran news bureau manager and traveling in Europe. From Harvard he photographer, George H. Godfrey, '29, caught here tinkering with flash gun and camera. OLD OREGON group, which has for its printer the Mel-bourne university press, a branch of the famed Oxford university press in England. Far from feeling any envy, other writersin Australia have been warm and enthus- iastic in their praise of the volume. Writingto a friend, with no knowledge that the words would eventually reach ProfessorMoll, Hugh McCrea, acknowledged dean of Australian poets, said: "Make Moll thefigurehead and bowsprit of your book, the others will be proud to tail the wake be-hind!" And this beloved man of letters also added: "My favorite poet forever?Aus-tralian or not?loving not only his poetry but the man himself, is Moll." Another Australian, whose books madea deep impression in America, Frank Dally Davidson, writes: " 'Cut From Mulga' willhave an enduring place, for it feeds our roots. Some of its lines are blinding?yetit has a scriptural simplicity of statement, with great richness of connotation." "Cut From Mulga" is a lusty, vigorousbook, yet its virile, often intense verses are interspersed with sentimental, whimsicalbits, some of which artfully conceal a tear or provoke a sly smile. Into such poems as"Winter Ploughing" and "Returned Sol- dier" he has put forth the spirit of the menof the land, and many a verse teems with the hardships of those who labor with thesheep on the limitless pastures of that vast continent. Using mainly quatrains and the "abab"rhyme scheme that have long been his forte, Moll combines simplicity of phrasewith curious and revealing twists to give the reader rare flashes of insight into thingsAustralian which, on second reading, be- come life universal. His wards, like the "coulters in the sod" in "Winter Plough-ing," are "shining and sharp as knives." For examlpe, read this concluding stanzafrom "The Leave-Taking," in which is de- scribed the goodby to a faithful horsekilled: "She did not seem to feel, but oh,Along my fingers sure and slow The warmth of her crept into me!And at her side I turned to see The dawn that eyes that did not fearIts golden beauty nor the near Unhurried heavy step of oneWho came with halter and with gun." Then there are some rare, short bits,which mingle humor with poignancy and carry Moll's deep feeling for the earth inundertones: "He loved his horse; and when it diedGrabbed his knife and got its hide. The cash?consider while you praise?Kept him drunk for seven days." Neither is the satirical approach to thetopical side of life avoided, but from Moll's pen the timely lines frequently becometimeless. Witness this "Guns on Western Front Play Hide-and Seek," the title ofwhich is taken from a newspaper headline on the war: "A pleasant game, of course, and goodclean fun This hide-and-seek of sportive gun andgun; But when they find each other in their playIt's just as well to look the other way." Whether he be reading a poem for aclass, fishing along a woodland stream, or seeking expression of his heart by writing,there seems to be the yearnings of a lotus- eater in Jerry Moll. Those who read hislines find a kinship in this spirit as well as in the ordinary things which are describedin Moll's extraordinary manner. It is not hard for one to see vividly thebeauty of the Australian countryside when one reads such poems as "Eagles Over theLambing Paddock," "On Watching a Woodchopper," "The Hide Buyer," "Des-ert Country in Summer," and "Clearing for the Plough." Nor can one escape the pun-gent, incisive, and almost physical sensa- tions evoked by such extracts from life as"The Slug," "The Sensualist Replies," and "The Snake." With no superfluous words or lines, withno thoughts that are not cut carefully and clearly, these poems survive reading andre-reading. On each perusal of the pages of "Cut From Mulga," new musical mean-ings appear to add to the reader's delight. Friends of "Jerry" Moll look forward tomany pleasant hours in his company, fish- ing, or in conversation. Friends of "Pro-fessor Ernest G. Moll" anticipate an in- creasing flow of poems, of literature, whilemany generations of students will learn to love him and to respect him for his inter-pretation of what is good and great in writings. Those who do not know the man willknow him well after they have read his book; those who know him personally willhave their pleasure in his friendship whet- ted and made more complete. For likeBarry, in his lines to a "Returned Soldier," Jerry Moll possesses a "charm" and full-ness of spirit that will carry him through life, "uncaught."

JANUARY 1941 Employment Assurance By Employment Secretary Janet Smith plays role of "best friend" to innumerable students and graduates of Oregon. Figures computed reveal healthy results from her work during a typical school year, 1939-40. Then 3,802 jobs were filled, returning a total income of 963,897 to University students. Many of these were odd jobs; all provided greater possibilities for continuing educational pursuits when personal funds were low. During this same period her campus phone, local 242, rang 5,962 times, and 8,391 callers presented themselves to discuss placement problems. Summer offices maintained in Eugene and Portland have helped many. From June to September, '39, about 370 odd and permanent jobs were assigned through Eugene, 146 through Portland. Since Miss Smith went to work looking for work in 1936, 684 applications have been filed by graduates and 586 jobs have been filled, netting a total annual income of $703,200.?Ed. Although only four years old, the grad-uate placement office of the University of Oregon has rendered distinctive service toOregon Alumni. During these four years 684 graduates have made application foremployment through this office and of this number only six are now unemployed. Thisservice is not to be confused with the place- ment bureau of the School of Educationunder the efficient leadership of Miss Ida May Pope, '26.This graduate phase of student employ- ment grew from demands made on theundergraduate office for people who had finished college and were ready for per-manent positions. For some time these re- quests were filled by graduates whochanced to be known in the undergraduate employment office. These chance place-ments proved very satisfactory in most in- stances and the employers called the officeagain and again for names and recommen- dations of others who were in line for per-manent jobs. Dean of Student Personnel, Karl Onthank, '13, saw the possibilitiesand advantages to the student and the Uni- versity in encouraging such a service in theundergraduate program. Chiefly through his vision and encouragement the office isfulfilling its purpose and has received most favorable comment from employers overthe entire United States. The employment office is inadequatelyhoused in the campus Y.M.C.A. hut and has recently added a conference roomwhere employers may interview prospec- tive employees. Many employers are takingadvantage of the service offered and return to the campus at specified times each yearfor the purpose of meeting and conferring with those who have expressed an interestor desire to work in the fields which the employers represent. BUSINESS VARIED This office works in close cooperationwith the Alumni office and with the differ- ent schools of the University, particularlythe School of Business Administration. The different businesses and concerns interestedin Oregon graduates are many and varied. Among those that might be cited as repre-sentative are: all the Jarge oil companies, Standard, Union, Texaco, Shell, and Rich-field; Eastman Kodak, Armstrong Cork, Proctor & Gamble, Borden's, Campbell's,Heinz, Swift, Weyerhaeuser Lumber; and the nationally known rubber companiessuch as Goodyear, Goodrich and Akron. The field of selling led all others in takinggraduates last year. Many of these appoint- ments will lead to more remunerative posi-tions in the same companies after exper- ience has been secured in the selling de-partments. The secretary of employment feels that this office could serve the Alumni of theUniversity of Oregon better if ex-students would file their applications in this office.Our chief handicap is that we have to refuse many jobs because the students who aregraduating lack experience. If we were able to call upon former students who, whileworking, are still looking for better posi- tions, this office could fill many positionswhich now must be turned down with re- gret. Again and again the only drawbackto the filling of these positions is lack of experience and maturity of applicants. Forinstance, at the moment of writing, the graduate placement office has requests forfive experienced women secretaries. There is a request for a junior chemist, a travelingposition for a man with at least five years experience in selling or banking. Applica-tions for permanent employment may be handled confidentially so as not to jeo-pardize a position which an applicant al- ready holds. CONSTANCE SURVEYS Clifford Constance, '25, M.A. '29, hasmade a study of the Alumni from '28 to '35, as assistant registrar, asking "In what waysdo you feel the University training might be improved." The following are the find-ings of that study: "Seven possible propositions were listed,all of which received considerable support. JANET^SMITH One proposition might have been sup-ported more by Liberal Arts majors than by Architecture majors, another might haveseemed better to unemployed than to em- ployed Alumni, another may heve been rec-ommended most by only recent graduates. We sought out sixteen factors (such asmajor, employment status, date of gradu- ation) which might show these group dif-ferences, and for significance we have used only those with differences of at least 10%between the lowest and the highest per- centages of support. "Proposition number 1?'Require broaderknowledge of major fields of human learn- ing for the sake of the cultural value.' Thisis favored by those Alumni who were the better students, especially by the Phi BetaKappas. In general, the longer the interval since graduation the less emphasis does thisproposition receive. Professional school majors (Music is a marked exception), andthose whose vocational experiences have been unsupported by their education, tendnot to favor this. Those Alumni now set- tled vocationally seem to long for more gen-eral education, while the unemployed and the housewives do not. On the basis ofsalary there are two widely separated and unexplained intervals in which this propo-sition is not favored: below $800 and around $3500. Alumni now living awayfrom the Pacific Coast are more in favor of this proposition than are those whohave remained here. In general, this type of requirement is endorsed by Alumni whowere good students and who have achieved a fairly satisfactory economic status. "Proposition number 2?'Encourage spe-cialization in and mastery of some chosen field as soon as possible.' This is favoredby those Alumni who were the poorer stu- dents and markedly is not approved by thePhi Beta Kappas. The advocates include those whose majors and whose vocationalexperiences are in the fields of Architecture, Business, and Journalism, particularly. Asmight be expected, the unemployed are in favor of this proposition; also, oddly Popular place for job-seeking students to visit is the office ofEmployment Secretary Janet Smith. Cheerful and active always, she dispenses pleasantness and positions from the Kincaid Street"Y" Bungalow. Pag* 3 OLD OREGON enough, are those in the highest salary bracket. Also those Alumni from larger cities recommend it more than do those from smaller towns. In general, this edu- cational emphasis is endorsed by Alumni whose educational record is not high, but whose vocational experience probably has brought them more satisfaction. "Proposition number 3?'Provide moredefinitely vocational types of training.' This is recommended by the same type ofAlumni as favor the preceding proposition, this not including the Phi Beta Kappas. Itis interesting to note that the students who won general honors in campus activities(such as Mortar Board, Koyl Cup, and the like) generally vote the same as the PhiBeta Kappas. More vocational courses are favored by Alumni who did not specializeheavily in their major, and by those who found little relationship between theircourses and their subsequent jobs. Majors in Law and in Physical Education feel theydo not need additional vocational training, as do Alumni who have gone into architec-tural work or medicine. Students feel the need the least of all groups classified byemployment, and the highest salary group is practically content to have no furthervocational knowledge. In general, this proposition is favored somewhat more bythe weaker students, but the conviction seems to have been arrived at through com-parative lack of economic success." These suggestions have set a challengefor the undergraduate employment office. The numbers of students who earn part orall of their way through this office consti- tute about 60% of the total enrollment. Thejobs secured are fitted to the students' ex- perience and ability and every effort is made to promote them along the line oftheir future endeavor. The University of Oregon employmentoffice is open the year around. The work during the summer in Eugene takes careof vacation employment and students en- rolled in the summer school. The employ-ment office in Portland, sponsored by the Portland unit of the Oregon Dads andsupervised by the University employment office at Eugene, fills a need which has notbeen met in any other way in Portland. Thus the University of Oregon employ-ment office seeks to serve those who have left the campus through the graduateplacement service, those who are attending school through the undergraduate bureau,and those who are planning to enter the University by finding jobs which will en-able them to earn part of their way while on the campus. Unto the Second Generation7 Concluded on this page is a survey ofOregon Alumni whose offsprings currently attend the University. Begun in the De-cember issue of OLD OREGON, the second generation story has proven of wide inter-est and is becoming a yearly attraction. Since even editors are possessed withhuman attributes, hence liable to err, the Alumni Office expects to receive lettersmentioning important omissions from the two installments of "Unto the Second Gen-eration." Such letters will be warmly wel- comed and the additional information willbe incorporated into the February edition. Mrs. Gertrude Chandler Foster, ex-'IS,son, Alan Chandler; Alan C. Fulton, LL.B.

Athletic News Bureau Director Hamby aptly explains the popularity of Coach Hobson's hoopsters with these figures: Three and a half seasons of play and a total of 470,000 spec- tators. Northern division conference play begins for Oregon in Eugene against Washington State, January 10 and 11. Thence follows Oregon State at Corvallis, January 17; W.S.C at Pullman, January 21 and 22; Idaho at Moscow, January 24 and 25; Washingotn at Eugene, February 3 and 4; O.S.C. at Eugene, Feb- ruary 8; Idaho at Eugene, February 14 and 15; O.S.C. at Corvallis, February 22, and at Eugene, February 27. Season closes in Seattle against Washington, March 7 and 8.?Ed. University of Oregon's varsity basket-ball team pretty well established itself as the nation's No. 1 traveling court aggre-gation this past December by making its third annual transcontinental barnstorm-ing tour. Since Coach Howard Hobson, '26, tookhis 1938-39 national collegiate champions (to-be) east two years ago, Webfoot teamshave piled up more than 30,000 miles of travel and have appeared in virtually everyleading eastern and mid-western center. The trip just completed was the fastestyet, with only 19 days needed to go from Eugene to New York City and return, withstops to and from at Norman, Okla.; Buf- falo, N. Y.; Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Bal-timore, and Peoria, 111. Highlight of this third eastern invasionwas, of course, another appearance at Mad- ison Square Garden in New York City. Fora third straight year the Webfoots were featured on the opening doubleheader pro-gram of the season. This in itself was a record, for no other western school hasbeen invited to the huge sports center three times in a row.Proof that the University and Oregon basketball under Hobson has become na-tionally famous was the all-time record crowd of 18,325 paid spectators whichjammed the Garden to see the Webfoots meet Long Island university. As far as isknown, this is the largest crowd ever to witness a basketball game, anywhere orany time. ATTENDANCE RECORDS Again in Pittsburgh the Webfoots aidedin setting a new attendance record for that city. The Oregon-Duquense universitygame at the Duquense Gardens attracted 7,000 spectators, nearly 2,000 more than theprevious high mark. All along the way large crowds turnedout to watch the visiting Oregonians be- ing pitted against outstanding home teams.The same held true for games played at home?in Eugene, Portland and Salem.After the first twelve warmup games Ore- gon had played before 53,000 spectators,bringing their total for three and a half seasons of play to more than 470,000. Ten players made up the squad for thetrip just concluded. Selected by Coach Hobson were six lettermen and four soph-omores, the most first-year men ever to gain the coveted squad positions. Veteranswere Hank Anderson, Evert "Red" Mc- Neely, Archie Marshik, Vic Townsend,Paul Jackson, who composed the starting lineup, and George "Porky" Andrews. Thesophomores were Warren Taylor, Wally Borrevik, Quentin Sidesing*er and DonKirsch. Traveling with the team was its ef- ficient manager, Leonard Ruecker. First stop on the cross-country tour wasat Norman to meet the University of Okla- homa. This contest was in the nature of areturn engagement after the N.C.A.A. clash between the teams two years ago. After be-ing held to 8 to 12 count in the first half, the Webfoots unleashed a deadly scoringbarrage to win by 42 to 29 count. Another return engagement was playedat Buffalo, N. Y., against Canisius, which was on the schedule two years ago. Oregoncame out on top for a second time, this year by a 50 to 42 score. Oregon's clash with Long Island uni-versity in New York City was a "natural" after the overtime thriller staged the yearbefore. In that contest Long Island came from behind to score a 56 to 55 victory inwhat was termed the greatest basketball contest ever staged at the Garden. It hadfollowed another hard-fought battle the previous season, won 38 to 36 by City col-lege. The Blackbirds proved too much for theWebfoots this time, however, and won with a strong second half performance, 43 to 31.Oregon kept in the game through a seesaw first period but faded badly at the close. En route home from New York City theWebfoots played four engagements and for a time it appeared they couldn't find theirway back into the victory column. At Phil- adelphia 5,000 persons saw Temple win a 4'S to 42 thriller. Again at Pittsburgh, Du-quesne eked out a close 37 to 34 decision be- fore the aforementioned crowd of 7,000. Itwas almost the same story at Baltimore as a now road weary crew lost to the Uni-versity of Baltimore, 35 to 25. DEFEAT BRADLEY TECH The entire trip was turned into a success,however, in the final game, played against Bradley Tech at Peoria. Bradley was ratedas strong as two years ago, when it defeated Oregon's national champions by a 52 to 39count. This year's squad more than made up for that setback by bowling over theBraves, 57 to 45. The record of three victories in sevenstarts may not look too well on paper in comparison to previous years, but there isno doubt the caliber of the opposition as a whole was much higher. According to"Hobby" there was not a single "breather" among the seven games and Long Islandand Duquesne were rated by him as among the greatest teams he had ever seen.Returning to the coast on December 24, the Webfoots played three games in Port-land and Salem before reaching Eugene. In Portland another record crowd of some2,000 filled Howard hall to capacity to watch Oregon trounce the undefeated Uni-versity of Portland five, 47 to 26. The next night at Salem the Webfoots rolled overWillamette, 46 to 33. Back in Portland on the third evening, the Rubenstein Oregon-ians of Eugene, composed of members of the great 1938-39 Webfoot team, scored a45 to 43 upset. The Webfoots played two more warmupopponents before embarking on northern division play January 10 and 11 againstWashington State. The University of Utah came to Eugene on January 2 for an inter-(Continued on page 12) McArthur Court's liaison agent with the press is Sportswriter Bruce Hamby, ex-'34,who pounds out this story in his mezzanine floor office so Oregon Alumni may follow their Alma Mater's teams. Pages OLD OREGON Editors and Businessmen ofOREGON By RAY SCHRICK, '43 A journalistic pen far mightier than the sword has left a long and vivid history at Oregon. It reveals a story which began back in 1891 and one that since that time has spun many characters and left certain definite impressions on the University. The opening chapter of this history ofjournalism appeared in the Reflector, the first student newspaper published on thecampus. It continued through the Bulletin in 1894, the Oregon Monthly in 1897, andfinally the Oregon Weekly in February, 1900. The early journalistic yarn reachedits high point in 1909 with publication of the first paper under the name of Oregon Em-erald. Since that time rapid changes to semi-weekly, tri-weekly, and finally daily pub- lication have left a chain of editors andbusiness managers, student leaders in jour- nalism, who today are leaders in anotherworld which involves news gathering, news writing, personnel work, and valuableservice in many walks of life. These are the men and women, who,while at the University, looked to journa- lism as possibly their most likely follow-ing. In 31 years, 62 editors and business managers have served on the Oregon Em-erald. Of this number 38 are still employed in the newspaper fields. NICHOLAS FIRST EDITOR These names that have been and stillare making University of Oregon news be- gan with Wilson Nicholas and Fritz Dean,first editor and business manager in the years from 1909-1910. Nicholas is now civilengineer with the city of Portland, while Dean is the head of a garage and Fordagency. From these two a fan of leaders spreadsout to the midwest, to the east coast and New York. This same fan spreads backall the way to San Francisco on the Pa- cific coast and north to Seattle.During the 30 years that the Emerald has been published on the campus two girleditors have served their terms in the jour- nalistic limelight as a guiding spoke incampus public opinion. First of these was Helen Brenton, in 1918, who now is pro-fessor of hygiene and director of women's health service at Stanford university. Thesecond was Dorothy Duniway in 1919, and she is today a publicity and free-lancewriter in New York City "with the name of Mrs. Paul M. Ryan. The years traced by growth of the Em-erald have been historic ones, for they have paralled a similar increase in size and po-sition by the University of Oregon. For even as many editors have grown to taketheir places in the world since 1909, so has the campus become "of age." When Chester Morris, the second Em-erald editor, and Wendall Barbour, his business manager, came into office in 1910,enrollment at Oregon was 904. Morris to- day is vice-president of Commonwealth,Inc., in Portland; Barbour has since passed away. Registration at the University today,however, with Lyle Nelson ana Jim Frost in the reigns as editor and business man-ager, is more than 3700. The campus "pub- lic" today is a much broader body. In 1911-12, Karl Onthank, present dean of personnel at Oregon, and Andrew Col-lier, now vice-president of the First Na- tional bank of Portland, directed policiesof the Emerald. This pair held the same of- fices for the school months of 1912-13 andtheirs is the only case of two students to- gether holding down editorial and businessjobs for more than one year. Since 1913 the positions have changedhands with regularity each fall. FOWLER IN 1913-14 Henry Fowler, now associate editor ofthe Bend Bulletin, and Marsh Goodwin, district agent for Aetna Life Insurancecompany in Lane, Linn and Benton coun- ties, served in 1913-14; Leland Hendricks,deceased, and Anthony Jaureguy, certified public accountant in charge of the Bostonoffice of Price Waterhouse & Co., public accountants, came in the following year;Max Sommer, merchandise manager of Sommer & Kaufman, and Floyd Wester-field, Lane county manager .for Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, in1915-16; and pre-war years came to a close in 1916-17 with Harol Hamstreet, by 1936publisher of the Wallowa Sun, and Burle B. Bramhall, now partner in Bramhill &Stein investment house, as editor and busi- ness manager, respectively. During the World War, Harry Crain,present managing editor of the Salem Cap- ital Journal, and Jeannette Calkins, formerOLD OREGON editor, filled leading editorial posts on the Emerald.They were followed by Helen Brenton and Douglas Mullarkey, as editors, andHarris Ellsworth, as business manager in 1918-19. Mullarkey is in 1940 editor of theBurns Times-Herald, and Ellsworth is ed- itor of the Roseburg News-Review. Twoeditors appeared the following year with Dorothy Duniway and Leith Abbott divid-ing the year. Warren Kays headed the busi- ness staff and is now employed by the LosAngeles Times. Abbott is advertising man- ager for the Southern Pacific railroad inPortland. With installation of Harry Smith andRaymond Vester in 1920 the Oregon Em- erald became the Oregon Daily Emerald, apaper printed five times each week. Smith is now in Portland as assistant managerfor Olds, Wortman & King, and Vester is president of the Oregon Association of Per-sonal Finance Co. A larger per cent of editors and businessmanagers since that time have followed the journalistic profession:Floyd Maxwell, 1921-22, however, is ex- ecutive head of Washington petroleum in-dustries; his business manager, Webster Ruble, is advertising manager of the DailyWorld in Aberdeen, Wash.; Kenneth Youel, 1922, is assistant in public relationswith General Motors in New York, and Lyle Janz is a manager of the Better Busi-ness Bureau; 1923?Arthur Rudd, now sales manager for Publishers' Syndicate in Chi-cago, and Leo Munly, sales supervisor of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph inSan Francisco; 1924?Donald Woodward, Portland realtor and general insuranceman, and James Leake, deceased; 1925? Edward Miller, Sunday editor of the Ore-gonian, and Frank Loggan, business man- ager of the Bend Bulletin; 1926?Sol Ab-rahamson, head of copy disk for the New York Daily Mirror, and Earl Slocum, as- must eventually deal in an intelligent way. with glasses and grin.

Conference Play (Continued from page 5)sectional battle at McArthur court and de- cisively lost 51 to 15. Willamette appearedtwo nights later, losing to Oregon 76 to 46. The Webfoots are given a good chance ofwinning back the conference laurels which escaped them a year ago after two suc-cessive championships. The league is ex- pected to be much stronger as a whole,however, with any one of the five contend- ers capable of coming out on top. Barring changes caused by injuries orfailure of players to live up to previous per- formances, Oregon will use a two-lineupsystem this year. This means a lineup of five veterans will start the game and be re-lieved halfway through each of the two periods by a second complete team com-posed of four sophomores and one junior. The No. 1, or starting lineup, consists ofAnderson and McNeely, forwards; Mar- shik, center; Townsend and Jackson,guards. All but McNeely were regulars at the close of the 1939-40 season. The secondunit is composed of Taylor and Sidesinger, forwards; Borrevick, 6-foot 8j4-inch giant,center; Andrews and Kirsch, guards. Anderson led the Oregon players in scor-ing for the first 12 games with 120 points, or ten a game. He was followed by Town-send with 105. The other players were closely bunched with Taylor third high,chalking up 55. Page 12 JANUARY 1941 1941 Miss Dorothea J.

SHELDON This is the story of a whole host of Mr. Chips. A series of epochal struggles. You who think you know your University will be amazed, amused and informed, when you have read this "human document." It is literally a panorama of "human vignettes." The chapter on Colonel John Leader and the war years of 1917 and 18, is itself worth the price of this unusual book. And WHO, we ask, is better qualified to write about the school we love so dearly, than our own revered Dr. Henry (Shelly) Sheldon? From the turn of the century Dr. Sheldon has been a moving and dynamic spirit behind the scenes, as well as in the class room. He has served under five college presidents, has seen the student body grow from four hundred to nearly four thousand. He has known personally nearly all the men and women who contributed most generously to the promulga- tion of learning and culture. His story of the University is something far more than a history; it is the stirring saga of pioneer folk creating for themselves and posterity a shrine, dedicated to a magnificent idea?"mens agatat molem."

If you were passing through the Bell Telephone Laboratories to- day you might hear an electrical mouth speaking this odd talk, or whistling a series of musical notes, to a telephone transmitter. This mouth can be made to repeat these sounds without vari- ation. Every new telephone trans- mitter is tested by this mouth before it receives a laboratory or manufacturing O.K. for your use. This is only one of the many tests to which telephone equip- ment is subjected in the Bell Tele- phone Laboratories. And there is a reason for the selection of those particular words. It happens that the sentence, "Joe took father's shoe bench out," and its more lyrical companion, "She was waiting at my lawn," contain all the fundamental sounds of the English language that contribute to the intensity of sound in speech. Busily at work in the interest of every one who uses the telephone is one of the largest laboratories in the world. The development of the telephone in this country is proof of the value of this research. In times like these, the work of the Bell Telephone Laboratories is especially important.
