In Union There Strength By GLENN WILLIAMS,'4 3
Freshman Student Union Chairman Glenn William s
summarizes a faculty committee study with this article .
"Union Through Effort" gained significance in the sprin g
of 4 when undergrads campaigned for funds to be used
in constructionof a Student Union building . Time passed .
Last year President Erb appointed this faculty fact-find-
ing group to study Oregon s physical plant, find its pos-
sible uses for student social affairs : Dean Ralph W .
Leighton, Business Manager J. O . Lindstrom . Athleti c
Director Anson B . Cornell and Dean of Men Virgil D .
Earl. Result : They recommended the President "take
steps to bring about the construction of the first unit
of a Student Union building that will provide a suitable
place for University dances and large social events ." Las t
year a big step was taken when the student executive committee voted to have 2 0
per cent of funds collected from ASUO memberships earmarked for the Studen t
Union fund . This per cent approximates $5,500 per year.-Ed .
Oregon undergraduates want a Studen t
Union building . This fact is evident . A
campus-wide movement discussing wha t
such a structure should include, and meth -
(ids of financing such a venture make thi s
subject currently popular .
When school began last fall, a Varsit y
Student Union con-imittee swung into ac-
tion, found the problem large, but decide d
it could be overcome successfully . Soo n
the Unionist spirit spread like the rippl e
from a pebble puncturing a placid pool .
A Freshman Student Union committe e
was established as a permanent group wit h
replacements being made by the first-yea r
class president . Devoted to the promotio n
of a Student Union building at Oregon ,
this group was examined for ability, inter-
est and reasonably high grades to insur e
steady tenure in school .
Since then, the research carried on b y
these committees showed considerabl e
conflict between students wishing to us e
University buildings for dances and othe r
social events and academic department s
which needed those plants for educationa l
purposes . Last year this issue came to th e
foreground in two outstanding instances :
when coeds desired the use of Gerlinge r
hall for an all-campus affair and when th e
senior class wanted to utilize McArthu r
Court for their annual ball .
NEED FOR CENTE R
In these two instances the difficulty o f
securing places for student activities wa s
emphasized . More than ever before, stu-
dents now feel a greater need for such a n
activity center . They are looking for pos-
sible methods of raising funds for the Stu -
dent Union building which could be use d
exclusively for extra-curricular events .
Since the Hayward field grandstands ,
McArthur Court, Infirmary, Chapma n
hall and Library were financed in part b y
student building fees, the undergraduat e
representatives wondered why a Studen t
Union could not be built in part by thes e
fees . Then they found that the State Board
of Higher Education had pledged all of th e
fees for some time to come . Now then hav e
begun discussing other methods of financ-
ing this building .
Before going further, these under -ad -
uate comniitteemen decided to discover i f
tf)e students wished a "Union through ef-
fort." The Freshman Unionists took a pol l
in the living organizations . The questio n
asked was : "Will you, voluntarily, giv e
your Co-op store receipts, which bear a
fluctuating return, to the Student Unio n
building fund? "
CAMPUS BALLOTEER S
With the campus covered by balloteers ,
the group foundh 14 of the livingorganiza -
tions had voted 100 per cent in favor o f
giving their receipts to this fund . All bu t
five houses voted to give theirs by an over-
whelming majority . Of the remaining five ,
one house was deadlocked by a tie .
This fund front Co-op receipts may no t
make an appreciable sum, but the poll doe s
represent active interest on the part o f
undergraduates . Sentiment for such a
building is springing up in every local e
evidenced by heated bull-sessions and th e
mass attendance of several organization s
at the Union exhibit in Johnson hall .
This exhibit presents pictorial and fac-
wal information on the progress of Stu -
dent Union buildings throughout the na-
tion of campuses . A college publication ,
Kentucky Kernal, on display mention s
buildings on its Soutbern campus eleve n
times in the front page . Here the Studen t
Union building is cited in eight differen t
articles . Another publication tells of th e
celebration after the construction of a Stu -
dent Union building was completed . A n
alumni magazine tell, how the Universit y
of Utah is erecting their Union by constan t
effort of interested alumni .
Missouri s alumni publication proclaim s
the opening of their Student Union hal l
after the) , had been "stuck " many year .,
with an over-ornate tower and two exca-
vations at a fancy price . The students of
that school realized the value of such a
structure keenly enough to get it .
Oregon students and graduates are be -
ginning to realize the same values . So th e
chairmen of the Varsity and Freshman Stu -
dent Union committees were recently in-
vited before the Alumni Holding corpora-
tion board to discuss the problem of Unio n
financing . The latter group listened, aske d
questions, discussed the pledges nnade b y
graduates for such a building years ago .
Reviewed during the meeting was the fac t
that Oregon student executive commit -
tee in 1939 put into effect that 20 cents ou t
of every student body dollar collecte d
should be placed in a Student Union fund .
In addition, they discussed how the busi-
ness office of the University recommende d
that the Co-op store rental he given thi s
fund as well as the rental from propert y
primarily purchased by the University fo r
a Union building (both of these ideas ha d
been approved and are now in effect) .
TO VISIT IDAH O
Through a study of buildings on othe r
campuses, the two student connnittees ar e
acquiring ideas as to the make-up of suc h
an activity center . Plans are being matt e
to visit the Union building at the souther n
branch of the University of Idaho in Poca-
tello early in the spring term . This Idah o
plant was constructed for a cost unde r
$300,001), a figure estimated necessary fo r
Oregon first unit .
Before continuing with plans the tw o
student committees made further research .
Everywhere they turned the possibilitie s
were discouraging . The buildings general -
Iv used are already over-scheduled . Ever y
tirne these buildings can be used there ar e
added expenses such as reconditioning th e
floors . As in the case of McArthur Court s
pavilion, the floor has to be reconditione d
because of its finish being adaptable onl y
for basketball shoes . Floor s_ in other build-
ings are primatily not for dancing, a fac t
which presents further difficulties .
Now the cry arises on every side . Th e
students feel they need space which un-
uuestionabiv will be theirs . They still sa y
Nvith enthusiasm : "Union through effort "
will provide room for campus dances, ban -
(Euets and the inevitable bull sessions .

Coach Russ Cutler swim trio discovered pennants, medals and championshi p
titles could not be converted into $640 needed for their trip to Yale universit y
and a national swim meet . The problem was solved by Chairman Verdi Seder-
strom and a crew of undergraduates including Anne Fredericksen, Wendel l
Wyatt, Erling Jacobsen, George Pasero and Lyle Nelson . Campaigning wit h
a "March of Dimes" slogan, the group acquired the necessary amount withi n
two weeks through cooperating Eugene and Portland Alumni, individual stu-
dents, local merchants, sophomore and junior classes, Inter-Fraternity and Pa n
Hellenic councils and the Athletic board .-Ed .
Not a swimming race lost since they e
been in school! That the record of Ore-
gon three ace swimmers : Jerry Macdon-
ald, Jack Dallas and Sherui Wetmore .
Dallas and Wetmore have been i n
school three years, in competitive swim-
ming as long, and have never been beate n
in four freshman and 13 varsity meets .
Macdonald, a sophomore, shattered poo l
records last year . but was then ineligibl e
for varsity competition .
Campus sports writer Elbert Hawkin s
says "Dallas and tmore hold more pool ,
dual meet, Northern division and Pacifi c
coast conference records than any othe r
triumvirate . Theye clone all their recor d
slashing under the handicap of three coach -
es in as many seasons, too!" Their coac h
today is physical education instructor Rus s
Cutler, who has shown excellent result s
with the sportsmen .
Both Dallas and Wetmore are fro m
Long Beach, Calif . The first is an expon-
ent of the butterfly breast-stroke with a n
unusual and effective style . Wetmore is a
back-stroker . Dallas holds Pacific coas t
records in the 100- and 200-yard breas t
stroke . He also has Northern division rec-
ords in the 200-yard breast-stroke (set i n
the annual meet at Seattle) for 75-foo t
pools, and the same for 60-foot pools .
Wetmore partial list of records include :
Pacific coast records in 100-yard and 150 -
yard back stroke, Northern division titl e
in 150-yard back stroke for both 60- an d
25-foot pools . Teaming with Dallas an d
Wetmore is Jerry Macdonald, free-styl e
Lee . These three swam the 300-yard med-
ley against Oregon State for a 3 :01.3 race.
The Pacific coast record is 3 :06, and a two -
year national mark is 2 :55.
As the "March of Dimes" continue to -
wards certain success, the Oregon swi m
trio train for the end of March when the y
entrain for New Haven, Conn ., and hope -
fully plan to break more records at Yal e
university .

THE NINETIE S
Fifteen students comprised the graduat-
ing class of 1890 . They all were graduate d
with A .B. degrees .
One year later they had branched ou t
into their occupations : four lawyers, fou r
teachers, two correspondents, one mer-
chant, one photographer, one business -
man, one artist, and one tutor at the Uni-
versity of Oregon .
All nine member of the Universit y
faculty watched the judging of the Failing s
Beekman oration contest which saw Ed -
ward H . McAlister, later tutor at the Uni-
versity, win $150 and Miss Agnes M .
Greene take the $100 prize .

The Medical School in Portland, then i n
its third year of existence, had eight grad-
uates, the largest class up to that time .
TURN OF THE CENTUR Y
The class of 1900 saw the first editio n
of a newspaper at the University, Th e
Oregon Weekly which ran until 1909 whe n
it was supplanted by the Emerald .
The captain of the track team wa s
Homer D . Angell . He ran the 440-yar d
dash. His team won the northwest cham-
pionship.
A short time after the first of the yea r
Angell was appointed census-taker for hi s
home town, The Dalles . He had to rus h
home and count the populace in a hurr y
in order to be back for commencement .
A bronze tablet with the inscriptio n
"Class of 1900" was fastened to an oa k
tree near Millard hall as the main featur e
of class day .
CLASS OF  0
A tug-of-war, baseball game, and othe r
athletic contests between the senior clas s
and the alumni played an important par t
in the commencement exercises this year .
The graduation activities which laste d
four days, started with baccalaureate serv-
ice Sunday morning and ended Wednesda y

New History Hea d
By HAL OLNEY, 2
Dr. Dan E . Clark, newly-appointed hea d
of the University history department ,
might well qualify as "Oregon man o f
many achievements ." Professor, researc h
worker, author . editor, and administrator ,
briefly tells the story of the thin-haire d
professor career since he became a mem-
ber of the faculty of the University o f
Iowa, over 30 years ago .
The versatile educator has been a mem-
ber of the University faculty for nearly 2 0
years . He came to Oregon in 1921 . Sinc e
then he has served the University as pro-
fessor of history, assistant director of th e
general extension division, member of th e
board of editors of the Pacific Historica l
Review and the Pacific Northwest Quar-
terly, head of the summer sessions . and ,
finally, as head of the history department .
In addition, he has written for severa l
publications, has edited and written man y
pamphlets, and has published his book ,
The West in American History," in 1937 ,
which has been warmly received by crit-
ics.
Before coming to Oregon, Dr . Clar k
had published three hooks, a "Biograph y
of Samuel J . Kirkwood," 1917 ; "Govern-
ment of Iowa," 1915 ; and a "I-Iistory o f
Senatorial Elections in Iowa," 1912 .
While at the University of Iowa, he di d
a great deal of research work in histor y
and edited a great many works on the bio-
graphical, political, social, and economi c
history of Iowa . He had editorial directio n
of the Iowa Journal of History and Poli-
tics, a quarterly .
Dr. Clark has carried on research wor k
in the Library of Congress, the British Mu-
seum, and the ]3ibliothcquc Nationale o f
Paris .
Since his appointment as head of th e
history department, Dr . Clark has bee n
switching hack and forth between two of-
fices and two distinct jobs . W . G . Beat -
tie, associate professor of education ,
has been appointed to succeed Dr . Clar k
as assistant director of the general exten-
sion division, but Professor Beattie suc-
cessor has not yet been appointed .
Dr . Clark has been in charge of summe r
sessions for several years and will continu e
in this position during the 1940 sunnne r
session. Just who will occupy that positio n
after this year summer session has no t
been definitely decided .

Welcome to Hollywood By "SMOKI" WHITEFIELD,  0
The personable title-role star in "Emperor Jones" during its campus showin g
last spring term was judged a "natural," plucked by visiting movie scouts, op-
tioned off for several years in the nether regions of Southern California . A s
Smoki Whitefield, he has felt the thrill of applause and envious eyes many time s
for his limited years . Experiences : Runner-up in Eastern middle-weight Golde n
Gloves tourney when Joe Louis captured the amateur heavy-weight crown i n
same contest, singer in the Hall Johnson choir, soloist with Cab Calloway, part -
player in "01Man River" and "Tarzan, " football and boxing letterman a t
Oregon .-Ed .
"Welcome to Hollywood 1" I wonde r
what the many young actors and actresse s
think when they read this sign at the en -
trance to this famous movie town? I won -
der if they realize this center will one da y
be very good to them and the next day tur n
right around making them wish they ha d
never heard of Hollywood ?
No, I m not complaining against thi s
colony, so far it has been kind to inc . I t
has taught use the cleaning of seriou s
work, made me like it and forget my fool-
ish ambitions . Since arriving in this state ,
claimed by some as next to paradise, I
have luckily been successful .
ROLE AT PLAYHOUS E
Five days after entering training, I wa s
fortunate enough to win a major role a t
the famed Pasadena Playhouse . In th e
Claire Boothe comedy, "Kiss the Buy s
Goodbye," Lady Luck again smiled an d
the Los Angeles Daily News picked m e
as the outstanding young actor at th e
Playhouse . Immediately the studios ge t
busy helping inc visualize great things . Th e
directors from all of the larger studio s
began telling inc what a natural I was . I f
I had not been given some sound advise ,
I would have believed them . The chap wh o
advised me is Oregon own ace producer ,
Horace Robinson .
UPS AND DOWN S
Just to intimate how things can chang e
here, let me tell a story . Joe Penner re-
cently was about to make a picture . 1 wa s
what the doctor had ordered, accordin g
to the casting director . Just think, I ha d
only been here a very short while and no w
I was to he in a show with Joe Fenner ,
even before i finished my course of train-
ing . Then Hollywood reached out and gav e
me its first slap . Finally it decided I wa s
too young and wasn the type after all .
Hollywoodites wisely say never count o n
a job here until you hear the camera s
grinding . You can take it straight from m y
shoulder that I am not looking forwar d
to winning the Academy award this year .
Most impressive to one are the peopl e
who arrive in this land of back drops an d
false fronts as small town stars to find ou t
this acting game is more than a way to pas s
time or show off for the home folks . The y
soon learn this place is not the same a s
you see on the screen . but a hard task -
master calling for plenty of work . i hav e
seen young girls and boys almost heart -
broken be their failure to get a part in a
show. Then, again, Ie seen them re-
ceiving their first chance being made int o
different persons by a director skillfu l
handling .
Hollywood shows no favors . Every act -
or is treated the same . from the lowes t
extra to the highest paid star . The extra s
are funny folk . To see them in the stree t
one would think they were the greatest of
stars by their attire . Yet they are an inte-
gral part of this fascinating town .
it is no trouble to Intl out who is bos s
in Hollywood . The directors have the las t
word here . If they say to he on the set
at ei : .ntl. it uaa te hie da iry.

Keeper of the Keys By RAY SCHRICK, '4 3
"Like father, like son" is a trite expres-
sion that with years of usage has been dis-
carded. "Like son, like father, " however ,
is a more unique phrase that is personifie d
by Jack Cossman, Oregon night watch -
man who for almost 20 years now has bee n
working on the University campus .
Ills instance of coming to Eugene is no t
exactly the same as that of an ordinar y
student Jack life has been that of a side -
line
cipant in the every day run of college life .
In his years here he has filled up a stor e
house of experiences backgroundin g
changes on the Oregon campus far sur-
passing that of the average student .
Yes, and Jack can tell stories and mem-
ories of these early times : of days whe n
football used to be played on Kincaid fiel d
which was located where Chapman hal l
now stands, stories of 1924 when fire de-
stroyed a portion of the University cam -
pus, and adventures of his three sons wh o
as students did far more than the averag e
share of carrying away school honors .
"A lot of things have happened sinc e
those early days, all right," Jack affirme d
during a recent conversation . And then h e
recreated some of the pictures that use d
to he the every-day part of school life ,
telling the event of his arrival at the Uni-
versity .
"I used to be a blacksmith," Jack related .
"That was in the days when automobile s
were still rather scarce . My shop was in -
Creswell, and I moved to Eugene to star t
work as janitor in 1920 . At that time Princ e
Campbell was president here, and Bezde k
was football coach-the one who had le d
the Oregon team to the 1916 Rose Bow l
game against Harvard .
"Most outstanding event of those firs t
years for me was the fire in 1924 tha t
started in the belfry of the women gy m
and cleaned out all except one of the jour-
nalism shacks . Many of the surroundin g
houses also caught on fire . This happene d
when I was working in Villard hall ."
A short while after that jack was mad e
night watchman . In that job he has worke d
for over ten years without missing a singl e
day except during his wife illness an d
one two-week stretch after twisting a kne e
while on duty . Jack asserts he has neve r
been actually sick a single day of his life .
All of these early years Jack talks about i n
a friendly way ; his favorite subjects, how -
ever, are his three sons .
"Jim," he explained, "carte to Orego n
in 1911, He was 15 years of age and at tha t
time the youngest freshman ever to ente r
college . Jill entered the University weigh-
ing 130 pounds ; he went out with the rec-
ord of weighing over 230 ."
That isn exactly all of the story, either .
for Jim was center on the 1916 footbal l
ieani, and worked along with Shy Hunt-
ington and "Anse" Cornell in the days o f
those great teams . The next brother, Leo ,
was hardly any less of a canipus figure .
"Leo won first prize of $150 while here ."
Jack reminisced, "for having 2i hours o f
straight A work . He also threw the jave-
lin and was one of Bill flay ward earl y
track men ."
Both sons stand over six feet in heigh t
and there was a third brother, Henry, o f
a comparative footage . Henry was a dru m
major in 1927, but died October 9, 1929 ,
as the result of an accident while workin g
as state policeman in Washington .
Of the two living sons, Jim is head of th e
physical education department at Sant a
Monica Junior college, and Leo has taugh t
at the Woodland California Union hig h
school for the past 17 years .
In the years since his sons left Oregon ,
Jack has seen the campus almost doubl e
in size . Condon hall, Chapman, Commerce ,
McArthur court, and other buildings hav e
risen, and four different men have com e
and gone as University president .
Jack. has kept campus law and order fo r
more years than most people, students a t
least, can remember . And yet, he stil l
doesn think of retiring . Jack wants t o
keep growing with Oregon .

Yasui in Law Work
Minoru Yasui, B .A . 7, L .L .B . 9, is the
first attorney of Japanese descent practis-
ing in the State of Oregon . Gifted as a
speaker, the bespectacled son of a Hoo d
River merchant is a member of Sigm a
Delta Psi, Cosmopolitan club, Phi Bet a
Kappa and a second lieutenant of infantry
in the U . S. Army Reserve corps .
A recent Sunday issue of the Oregonia n
carried Yasui article, "We, Too, Please ,
Are 100 Per Cent Americans," relating th e
story of Japanese people living in thi s
state. The young attorney explained th e
difticnlty encountered by Oregon Japanes e
because of the current war in the Orient ,
the adaptability of second generation citi-
zens to American life, and the pride whic h
the Japanese people show in the buildin g
of Oregon .
The versatile graduate is practising la w
in Portland, but will move to Chicago i n
June to enter the Japanese consular serv-
ice in that city .

From Howe to 1-louis By PORTER T . "PAT" FRIZZELL,  0
Bruce Hamby Athletic News bureau assistant, Porter T . "Pat" Frizzell, write s
this article after a study of impressions on the Pacific Coast conference "Ather-
ton" rules . Alluding to "legal eagles," Pat reveals Professor Orlando Joh n
Hollis, B .S, 6, J .D. 8, who accumulated a scholastic record probably th e
highest ever achieved in the history of the University . A member of the Eugen e
water board . Phi Beta Kappa kevrnan Professor Hollis serves on innumerabl e
faculty committees, athletic and educational activities boards, is famed for hi s
exacting statements .-Ed .
When the Pacific Coast conference wa s
formed back in 1915, it probably never oc-
curred to the founders that some day i t
might take lawyers to run the organization .
But apparently the "legal eagles" ar e
necessary now, if the present intricate sys -
tem of eligibility and ineligibility rules i s
to be capably interpreted . The conferenc e
put Edwin N . Atherton . sometimes know n
as the G-Man, to work more than tw o
years ago, and G-Man Atherton made a
two-million word report from which th e
conference officials doped out a purifica-
tion code that even a Philadelphia lawye r
would have difficulty iii fully interpreting .
Thus the University of Oregon ne w
faculty representative in the conference ,
Professor Orlando J . Hollis of the La w
School, seems to be the right than for th e
spot .
HOLLIS ONE OF THRE E
Professor Hollis isn the only lawye r
among conference faculty representatives ,
and indications are that before long th e
position of faculty representative may b e
open to law instructors only . The Univer-
sity of Washington has named Professo r
Nottelman, a law ratan, as its faculty rep-
resentative, and Professor Owens, th e
Stanford representative, is a lawyer .
Oregon faculty representative for 2 8
years, Herbert Cronihie Howe, resigne d
in February because of ill health . Lawye r
Hollis was immediately appointed to sue -
English department Professor H. C.
Howe resigns from Coast conference "labo r
of love"
Iced Howe by President Erb . Professo r
Hollis has been active in campus extra -
curricular affairs since joining the La w
School faculty at Oregon in 1931 . He i s
a member of the Educational Activitie s
board and last year was chairman of a
faculty committee working for a Studen t
Union building on the campus . He wa s
graduated from the University in 1926, 2 5
years after .Professor Howe began hi s
long teaching career in the English de-
partment .
FORTY YEARS AT OREGO N
Howe was graduated from Cornell i n
1896 and came to Oregon in 1901, almos t
40 years ago . He always has been a frien d
of athletes and of all persons interested i n
sports . He has known personally almos t
every varsity football, basketball and base -
baIl player to wear the lemon-yellow an d
green during this century .
Seldom has Professor Howe missed a n
Oregon athletic contest . For 15 years h e
virtually never missed a football practice ,
let alone a game . But failing health ha s
forced "the man in the green eyeshade "
to give up his extra work . Professor How e
will continue his teaching duties remain-
ing a friend of athletes and athletics wit h
unofficial interest .
Before 1915 Professor Howe was a fac-
ulty representative in the old Northwes t
conference . He remembers well the grea t
Webfoot football teams of 1916 and 191 9
and the championship basketball teams o f
1919, 1926 and 1927. Such men as Johnn y
Parsons, Johnny Kitzmiller . Shy Hunting -
ton, Bill Steers and Bill Morgan studie d
under Professor Howe and were advised b y
him.
Professor Howe was on hand when th e
Atherton rules were worked out by th e
conference and was to act as Oregon in-
terpreter . Now Professor Hollis takes ove r
that difficult duty . The job of a faculty rep -
resentative is not one of glory, but rathe r
of hard work . The position brings n o
return other than personal satisfaction o f
accomplishment .
The Atherton investigation, durin g
which the G-Man visited all conferenc e
schools and carried on careful discussion s
with scores of athletes, then filed all cases .
took about two years . It was clothed i n
the utmost secrecy . And it cost the Pacifi c
Coast conference a tidy sum .
RULES VOLUMINOU S
Unquestionably the aim was in the righ t
direction-toward clarifying what shal l
be allowed and what shall not in the wa y
of proselyting and subsidizing, and to -
ward putting the eight member schools o n
an equal footing in the matter of attractin g
athletes.
But the trouble with the Atherton code ,
which has already been in effect for severa l
months but may not have definite reper-
cussions for some time, is that its wording
is rather vague and that apparently it s
"mustn  Is" have loopholes in them .
In the subsidization field there are mu-
nternus regulations . Athletes are prohibite d
from receiving any sort of aid in the wa y
of scholarships or loans that is not ope n
to all students, athletes or non-athletes . I t
is specified that athletic participation shal l
not be a condition for receiving grants i n
aid for the payment of tuition from fund s
"received by the institution ."
}.rts of the Atherton code seem to b e
repetitions of previous regulations or prece -
dents. Others of its rules are new and in -
definite . Oregon, like other conferenc e
schools, will attempt to live up to the code ,
but are the rules concrete enough to brin g
about any changes? Will eligibility squab-
bles arise 
Law Professor Hollis will help decide .

The Greeks Had a Word for It By SPEECH PRO Fand UNDERGRA D
Handsome Professor Walfred A . Dahlberg is serving his seventh year in th e
University speech department as director of symposium work . From miner to
railroader to high school teacher to radio announcer to professor runs his work -
ing itinerary . Dubbed "Wa11ie " by many, the Friendly hall resident is Oregon s
newly appointed Inter-fraternity council permanent secretary . John Dewey s
discussion methods and Abe Lincoln humorous stories are his pet conversa-
tional projects . Love for out-of-doors makes him a staunch Oregonian .-Ed .
Debate, war and football have their rally-
ing cry, "Down with your adversary-I" Th e
terminology is in all cases the same : fight ,
clash, squads, offensive strategy, defensiv e
strategy, win, lose, penalties, and so on a d
infinitum.
It is amusing to hear that the debater ,
armed with such a jargon, is, withal, i n
search of truth . Apparently the truth come s
only after men have fought, bled and bee n
carried away . One might well imagine a
scientist in his laboratory using strateg y
on atoms and molecules and finall y
getting them on the horns of a dilemma .
For in his case, too, truth is the objective .
ARGUE AGAINST ARGUMENT S
Now and then a debate coach (not a
director) will shift his ground and hol d
that the objective is to give students plat -
form experience, in which case one migh t
ask, "Why, then, select such weighty sub-
jects for discussion ?" He Wright better sub -
scribe to the Oxford technique and haran-
gue on the topic ,
"Resolved, That Work is the Ruinatio n
of the Drinking Classes ."
Whatever the argument, the Universit y
of Oregon decided that William E . Glad -
stone had a point when he observed, "th e
man who asks of his adversary s conten-
tion, Is it true?is a lost debater . The de-
bater does not ask, `Is it true?  He asks ,
`What will my answer be to his conten-
tion?How can I most surely floor him? "
OREGON SYSTE M
Working on that implied suggestion w e
decided to :
1. Eliminate the "win " motive in ou r
speech program .
2. Provide realistic audiences for th e
students rather than persist in havin g
them debate in empty college halls .
3. Encourage an impartial study of th e
controversial issues of the day .
4. Discourage the idea that issues ar e
strictly bilateral, when actually there ar e
as many sides to an issue as there are per-
sonal interpretations of it .
5. Employ John Dewey problem-solv-
ing technique in this particular field .
6. Create situations in which the aud-
iences as well as the speakers could par-
ticipate .
INTERESTING RESULT S
As a result of this change the Universit y
has gotten some interesting results . Las t
year, for example, 35 students spoke befor e
100 audiences out in the State on issue s
that were extremely real to the people o f
Oregon . Granges, churches, schools, cham -
bers of commerce, service and Orego n
Alumni clubs were included on our pro -
gram . And all who participated sensed, fo r
the first time, the true meaning of speec h
education.
We now believe with Disraeli that, "Con -
tests and wars are never solutions . Th e
scientist, for example, does not say, hi s
conflicts with my issue,-how can 1 refut e
it?He says, rather, his is new and inter-
esting . I shall study its full possibilities ."

will be responsible for publicity .
No debating at the University o f
Oregon? No intercollegiate competio n
against other debate squads ?
lItree years ago I wondered why . I
knew there must be some reason for th e
supplanting of debate by symposium . Yet ,
as a freshman . I was doubtful and in-
wardly skeptical that symposium woul d
ever supplant debate as far as 1 . was con-
cerned .
With such a mental set I attended m y
first symposium meeting . I still had vis-
ions of a debate coach telling me how t o
establish arguments which would rai n
"death blows" on my worthy opponent s
and how to launch attacks on the . oppo-
sitions argument and thus fight him i n
his own country .
OPEN DISCUSSIO N
However, this vision did not materialize .
Instead, I met in open discussion wit h
other students on the topic that bee n
chosen for the year . We studied the se-
lected problem during fall terra and at -
tended a meeting each Wednesday wit h
Professor Dahlberg to analyze the prob-
lem . In other words, we co-operativel y
sought for the truth and for the most logi-
cal solution to the problem .
After a term research we began t o
build our talks on the history, problem an d
possible solutions of our topic . We did no t
set up our conclusions as the only righ t
answers to the problem but left our find-
ings open for further discussion and ques-
tioning wherever we spoke .
CO-OPERATIVE THINKIN G
The idea of co-operative thinking rathe r
than competitive thinking soon gaine d
favor with me . I realized that in most pub-
lic questions there is more than two side s
and that the solution often lies betwee n
the extremities of affirmative and nega-
tive . I carne to agree with F . W . Robert -
son that, "Controversy fas in debate) de-
stroys humble inquiry after truth, an d
throws all our energies into an attemp t
to prove ourselves right-a spirit in whic h
no man gets at the truth ." It becam e
clearer to me why the principle of sym-
posium had superseded that of debate a t
Oregon .
REALISTIC AUDIENCE S
However, the practical experience o f
speaking before actual-audiences is on e
of the strongest points in favor of th e
symposium type of discussion, Instead o f
working to bend the opinions of debat e
judges to our way of thinking, we presen t
our discussion before civic service clubs ,
high schools, country granges and chant s
hers of commerce . Consequently, a sym-
posium speaker must learn to adapt hint -
self to each different audience situation .
His speech content also must he adaptable ,
for a talk that "goes over" well in a
grange will probably "fall fiat" at a cham-
ber of commerce meeting . Such adaptatio n
requires mental alertness where it is bes t
learned-in real audience situations .
A student is further stimulated to clea r
and logical thought by the questions soli -
cited and received from the audience afte r
every program . Thus symposium sharpen s
the individual student s ability to think o n
his own feet .
The University gains publicity through -
out the state for the symposium tours reac h
about 8,000 people a year . In fact it is ofte n
said that such programs help break dow n
that tenacious belief some people still nur-
ture that our state educational institution s
are glorified country clubs . So symposiu m
teams may be said to be good-will am-
bassadors for the University .
But the major benefit seems to accru e
to the symposium student for he not onl y
learns to meet all types of audience sit-
uations but he is shown the value o f
searching for truth co-operatively in con-
trast to fighting for a cause whether righ t
or wrong . Symposium members believ e
with Macaulay that, "men are never s o
likely to settle a question rightly as whe n
they discuss it freely ."

TOUGH ASSIGNMEN T
At the outset of the 1940 season, th e
mild-mannered, debonair Hobson wa s
faced with a tough assignment of buildin g
a successor to the national championshi p
winner . On hand for duty was John Dic k
of the 1939 regulars . Hobson settled to hi s
task, experimented with different lineups .
carne up with a team that was good enoug h
to take second place in the Northern di -
vision In Oregon State _
This team-composed of I-lank Ander-
son and Archie Marshik, six-foot-seve n
giants ; Captain John Dick . the veteran ;
"Stonewall " Paul Jackson and Vic "Slick "
Townsend--won 10 of 16 conferenc e
games and nine of 15 pre-season contests .
Included in the pre-season victories wer e
four which were taken on the second an-

Hobby early coaching experience wa s
gained at Kelso, Wash . high school . Afte r
two seasons there he dropped out of coach -
ing for a year to attend Columbia univer-
sity and earn his roaster s degree in physi-
cal education .
