"A Good Pipe Is an Investment
in Daily Pleasure"
By LES ANDERSON
Alumni Director
LAST month's issue of OLD ORKGONcarried the story of the selection ofOregon's now football coach, Jim
Aiken. I'.y this time, many of you have met
him personally, and more will in the nearfuture before he turns to his initiation into
spring football practice here at Oregon.
Covering more than three thousandmiles within the state of ( )rcgon alone.
Coach Aiken completed a series of speak-ing engagements that would tire even the
most seasoned political campaigner, makingas many as four appearances in one day
before alumni banquets, civic club meetings
and high school assemblies. On severaloccasions, President Xewburn accom-
panied the state-wide tour, which consistedof the new coach, John Warren and myself,
"to add respectability to this traveling cir-
cus," as he jokingly put it.
Very successful alumni gatherings wereheld in Portland, Salem, Roseburg, Grants
Pass, Coos Bay, Bend, Lakeview, Hood
River, The Dalles, Pendleton, LaGrande,Baker and Seattle, Washington. More
meetings are being planned in other com-munities, many of which will take place
this month.
There is no doubt that Coach Aiken willbe a popular addition to the University of
Oregon family. His speaking ability, hisfriendly personality, his sincerity and confi-
dence will make him a credit to our school.
He believes in a strong alumni associa-tion, and you may rest assured that he will
do all in his power to make it so.
The most important reason for makinghis trip was to meet with as many alumni as
possible. He realizes that he must have theirsupport, and he has not hesitated to state
how they may be of great assistance to him.
Although class reunions for the classes
of '87, '02, 07, '17, '22, and '27 are still several
months away, it is not to early to start
making plans to attend them. This year we
want to see the largest number of returning
graduates ever to attend their class re-
unions. As usual they will be held in con-
junction with Commencement week-end on
June 14 and 15. So if you are a member of
one of these classes, make it a point to
mark that date on vour calendar now.

OLD OREGON
By BARBARA GILBERT, '48
TiERE was sun just long enough forhe ground hog to see his shadow ondarkened the sky again bringing rain, rain
and more rain. Although spring seemed tobe still far away, co-eds were blossoming
out in their newest fad, huge brightly-col-ofed hair bows. It was a month crammed
with activities. There were elections, drivesand plays; sororities and fraternities ini-
tiated and rushed. As the state boardokehed plans for the Student Union, the
building drive spread from New York Cityto the Hawaiian Islands. A Eugene and
campus audience sat enraptured as MarianAnderson, world-renowned contralto sang
in McArthur court. Social life hit a highpoint with house dances, the Triad, the
Heart Hop and Dad's Day. ROTC wentback in to full swing and plans were under-
way for reactivation of Scabbard or Blade.
BIG BLAZE
The biggest crowd outside of Mac courtgathered to watch the University ware-
house burn to the ground with bright andbillowing explosions adding excitement to
the $125,000 fire. Although the blaze didnot find much competition with study
tables, the Eugene Gleemen held their shareof the people in McArthur court for the
concert benefitting the Shriners' memorialhospital.
BOOKS AND BRACELETS
Everything from books to bracelets wasoffered for sale at the AWS auction of lost
and found articles in front of the Side.Headed by Prudy McCroskey, '49, the auc-
tion netted funds for a scholarship for de-serving women students.
LOTS OF CREDIT
Final registration figures indicated that81,075 University credit hours were divided
among 5608 students. This enrollment rep-resented a 65 per cent increase over that of
last year, with a 131 per cent increase inmen and a 6 per cent increase in women.
The college of liberal arts took the leadin the number of students enrolled, followed
closely by the schools of business adminis-tration and architecture.
G. P. AILS
The release of enrollment figures was fol-lowed bly the announcement of campus
GPAs. The women were way out in frontwith a GPA of 2.478 while the men were
held to a 2.3495. Hilyard house led theco-eds with a 2.82 GPA and Campbell club
led the men with 2.6637. The all-Universityaverage was 2.396, the lowest in three years.
ISA AND ASA
Freshman elections marked the politicalscene with the Independents winning by a
narrow margin. Independent Art Johnsonwas elected president with Jim Bocchi,
affiliated students candidate, taking secondposition. Donna Gericke, Independent, won
the secretarial post over ASA candidateJeanie Macaulay.
In the first direct move toward gettingcampus politics into at least an organized
chaos, B. G. Cox, '49, head of the affiliatedstudents association (formerly the Greek
bloc), and Howard Lemons, '48, ISA presi-dent, agreed to draw up platforms for their
respective parties in the near future.
"JOSADO"
There were switches in the Emeraldstaff and Bill Stratton, '49, replaced Jack
Billings, '47, as managing editor. FreshmanDon Fair took over Stratton's sports posi-
tion while Bob Frazier, '49, edited the worldnews page in place of Gloria Smith, '48.
Added to the staff for faster news gatheringand errand-running was Josado, Luscombe
plane owned by Elvin Davis, '50, who vol-unteered to use the plane for Emerald
business.
HOT DOGS
A carefree, festive spirit complete withhot dogs, fortune telling, candied apples
and dancing, dominated the women's out-door gym when WAA staged its annual
carnival. The prize for the most unusualbooth was awarded to Highland house and
Phi Gamma Delta for their baseball throw.
INTRODUCTION
The drive for the world student servicefund was in full swing under the chairman-
ship of Tom Hazzard, '49, with specialspeakers, radio programs and house con-
tests sparking the 1947 campaign. At a rallyopening the drive, Football Coach Jim
Aiken and his assistants were introducedto the campus by Bernie Hammerbeck, '47,
Emerald sports editor. Arranged by theWebfooters, new organization of behind-
the-scenes workers of the rally squad, theprogram included musical entertainment by
the Theta Chi quartet, the Delta Gammasextet and a Hawaiian group.
ORATION
Rex Gunn, '49, won the annual state peaceoratorical contest held on the campus Feb-
ruary 10 and sponsored by the Intercol-legiate Forensic association of Oregon.
Topic of his speech was "An Oration onPeace".
NEW FRATERNITY
Plans for organization of an Oregonchapter of Phi Kappa Sigma, national social
fraternity, were underway with actionbeing instigated by Glenn F. Sweeney,
veteran's adviser in the office of the deanof men, Dr. F. G. Black, associate professor
of English, and Dale Anderson, '48, allmembers of the fraternity.
GOOD-looking, four-pointer Malcolmhis crown and scepter during the half-time
of the Oregon-Idaho game after havingbeen voted "King of Hearts" by University
coeds. The end of his royal reign came withan inglorious dunking in the hands of
Knaves Paul Pierson, '49, and MartyPond, '49.
The route of the dance started at SusanCampbell hall and progressed to Alpha Chi
Omega, Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, andPi Beta Phi. The decorations, under the
direction of Marg Skordahl, '49, traced theromance of a college boy and a coed from
their first meeting to their marriage. Thetheme was titled "The Story of Two Sil-
houettes."
MUSIC
The school of music and the educationalactivities board jointly sponsored a concert
of the University band at the music audi-torium on February 20. June Johnson,
soprano, and Johnette King, pianist, werefeatured soloists. The varied program
ranged from Ravel to Debussy, and fromPuccini to Strauss. John H. Stehn, asso-
ciate professor of music, directed the band.
MORE CULTURE
Also on the cultural side was the per-formance of Alexander Brailowsky, cele-
brated Russian pianist, at McArthurcourt on February 25. His appearance was
sponsored by the Eugene Civic Music Asso-ciation.
DEBATE
The members of the University sympo-sium team, Warren Miller, Harry Nord-
wick, and Wally Mead, debated the advant-ages of increased government control of
labor unions with a trio from the Universityof California February 13.
REPERCUSSIONS
A few repercussions followed the visitof Randolph Churchill, newspaper colum-
nist son of Great Britain's wartime primeminister, who spoke in McArthur court
February 20.
Emerald writers were aroused when hedeclined to attend a previously-scheduled
reception at the Sigma Phi Epsilon house,threw a temper tantrum when an Emerald
photographer attempted to take his picture,gave a "tongue lashing" to Egyptian stu-
dents and brushed off the editor when sheattempted to interview him.
The story was carried by AssociatedPress, and Churchill simmering with indig-
nation, was unable to bring an apology forthe publication's treatment of his visit after
a 35-minute telephone conversation fromPortland with Editor Marguerite Wright,
'47.
BIRTHDAY BALL
The Birthday Ball, a semi-formal danceheld February 22 and sponsored by the
Inter-dorm council, was another additionto the social calendar. Herb Widmer's
orchestra was booked and Dale Harlan, '49,and Joe Conroy, '49 were co-chairmen of
the ball.

Crombie, '47, as representatives of theUniversity for the Pacific Northwest Col-
lege congress in Portland March 6, 7, and 8.The congress is the only student organiza-
tion that has been officially received bythe UN.
Varsity Ends Up~and-Down
Season With Loss to OSC
r I AHE second half of the northern division
?*- Pacific Coast conference basketball
race held no better fate for the Oregon
Webfoots than the first. They broke even
with four wins and four defeats, giving the
Ducks a season record of seven victories
against nine defeats and landing them in
fourth place in the final standings.
Oregon and the Washington Huskies
produced the usual racehorse series. The
Huskies won the first game at McArthur
court, coming from behind in the final min-
utes to gain a 60 to 58 nod. Dick Wilkins led
the Ducks with 13 points. The next night
Oregon turned in one of its best perform-
ances of the season in defeating the Hus-
kies, 64 to 54. Ed Dick and Ken Hays tied
for scoring honors with 15 points apiece.
Oregon State came up with a 71 to 57
decision at Corvallis in the third "civil war"
meeting. Hays tallied 14 for the Webfoots.
Next came the Idaho series at McArthur
court. The Webfoots went on a scoring
orgy in the first game to win 81 to 41, withHays again leading the way with 13 points.
Oregon copped the second game in Eugene
60 to 49 to make a clean sweep of theVandal series for the year. Dick notched 18
counters for the Ducks.
OREGON then treked to Seattle to com-
Webfoots won the first game 49 to 48 by
virtue of Wilkins' last-second howitzer.Jim Bartelt was high man with 11 tallies.
The Huskies came back to square matters
with a 63 to 51 victory. Wilkins paced theWebfoots with 13 points.
The final game of the season brought
the champion Oregon State Beavers to Mc-Arthur court, and they won 67 to 59 in a
game that was nip and tuck until the finalmoments. The victory marked the first time
in Howard Hobson's coaching regime at
Oregon that OSC won four straight,although he has twice performed the feat
on the Orangemen.

FOR all of the glowing preseason expec-
not too impresisve. But the conference was
probably the toughest in history this year
and upsets the rule, not the exception. Ore-
gon lived up to its offensive reputation. The
Webfoots actually tallied more total points
during the season than their opponents.
Graduation will take four members ofthis year's team. Most sorely missed will
be Ken Hays, lanky center who was pickedon many all-conference teams. Also gone
will be Roy Seeborg, Bob Wren and GeorgeBray, all of whom competed their three
years of eligibility.
In addition Ed Dick, regular forward, is
planning to enter the law school next fall
and it is doubtful if he will continue to play
basketball, although he has two more years
of eligibility.
Stan Williamson, acting captain through
the season, led the Webfoots in scoring andwas named on most all-conference teams
at guard. Other letter winners are Al
Popick, Reedy Berg and Bob Lavey,guards; Roger Wiley, center; and Dick
Wilkins and Jim Bartelt, forwards.

Efficient Administration, Cause of World Peace
Combined in Career of William 0. Hall, 36
By BILL FORCE, '48
OF all the men and women who havestudied public administration atOregon, none has gone farther in the
field, since leaving the University than
William O. Hall. Since he was graduatedin 1936 he has found many opportunities
to serve the cause of efficient administra-tion and of world peace.
His career began on the Oregon campus,where he joined the staff of the Bureau of
Municipal Research and Service and the
League of Oregon Cities. Here, as anassistant to Herman Kehrli, the director,
he received training and experience ingeneral administration and governmental
research as it is applied to local problems.
In the fall of 1938 he left the research bureaufor one year of study at the University of
Minnesota graduate school as a fellow inthe public administration training center.
Armed with this valuable training, he re-turned to Eugene to serve as acting
director and executive secretary of theMunicipal Research bureau and the League
of Oregon Cities while Mr. Kehrli was onsabbatical leave.
T HE next step, and it was a big one, was
hall to the executive office of the presidentin the bureau of the budget. The office was
small and was staffed with highly trainedmen. The "junior administrative assistant"
from Oregon considered it a fortunateassignment, his first in the federal civil
service. This opportunity came in 1(>4(>, andsince then Mr. Hall has had a lot to do with
budgets. He was put through a trainingperiod in general budget work and then was
assigned to the office dealing with the bud-gets of the war agencies handling interna-
tional affairs. These included the office ofstrategic services, lend-lease, the office of
war information, the foreign economic ad-ministration and several others.
In explaining his work, Hall says, "Inworking on the budget of an agency, you
are only inadvertently concerned with
William O. Hall, '36
columns of figures. Your primary interestis in the program of the agency, whether or
not it is necessary or is a duplication ofwork done elsewhere, if it should be cur-
tailed or expanded and, of course, whetheror not the job couldn't be done more effi-
ciently and economically."
While he was with the budget bureau hewas sent to north Africa and the middle east
to make a survey for the executive officeof United States civilian war activities.
LATER, as an ensign in the navy, he wassent to Berlin, where he was assigned
to work on the management and organiza-
tional problems of the military government.
But his stay in Berlin was short. His gov-
ernment had other and bigger plans for his
talents, namely the United Nations. His
first job in this field was with the United
States delegation to the preparatory com-
mission for the U. N. When that was
finished and the new organization was a
going concern, Ensign Hall went to work
in the secretariat of the first general assem-
bly of the United Xations as head of the
international staff concerned with budget,
organizational and administrative arrange-
ments for the new parliament of the world.
Webfooters, past and present, will be
proud to know that it was one of their num-
ber who prepared the first budget for the
United Nations and drafted the personnel
and financial regulations which are now

'irr*HE Blue Bone," an abstraction by
?*? Dorr Bothwell, '24, was on display inthe Little Art Gallery in the art school

Quarterly
Appear
DEATH TAKES MRS. BOYER
Mrs. Ethel Parkhurst Boyer died in aEugene hospital January 29. She was the
wife of Dr. C. Valentine Boyer, a past
president of the University and now profes-sor emeritus in the English department.
A native of York, Pennsylvania, she andDr. Boyer were married July 2, 1912. They
were residents of Urbana, Illinois until
1926, when the couple moved to Eugene.
ON the heels of the founding of agraduate school on the campus hascome the founding of G.S.O., grad-
uate students organization, and one of itsearliest functions will be that of publishing
a "Graduate Quarterly Bulletin." This first
issue is scheduled to appear in April withRoy Francis, graduate assistant in soci-
ology, as editor.
The publication is designed for scholasticpurposes only, and will be published inde-
pendently by graduate students. Its objec-
tive will be to act as a focal point on thegraduate school itself and to create interest
in fields remote from the student's specificfield. It will aim to publicize the graduate
school and attract students from other
campuses, as well as be of interest to upperdivision students at the University.
The bulletin will bear the motto, "Semperego auditor tantum," or "Must I always be
a listener only?" The first issue will bededicated to Mrs. Clara Fitch, secretary of
the graduate school. It will includeabstracts of all honors theses written from
1940 to 1946, as well as reports by graduatecommittees, condensations of term papers
and a list of all graduate students.
In publishing this quarterly, the editorsexpect to demonstrate progress in gradu-
ate research by encouraging graduate stu-dents. They point out that no journal in the
United States now attracts contributionsfrom graduate students because of its
technical nature. They believe that suchstudents have ideas worthy of presentation,
even though the style may not be as per-fected or the logic as penetrating as that of
more advanced scholars.
Assistant editors who will work withMr. Francis are Bill Webster, graduate as-
sistant in political science, and ShirleeHiggins, '46, graduate assistant in history.
It is hoped that eventually an editorial staffwith members in each department, and a
full-time editor with a graduate assistantrating, may be built up.
T HE graduate student organization,
number of committees, and appointed thefollowing persons as committee heads:
Marcille Harrin, graduate assistant inpsychology, policy; Jerry O'Callaghan,
graduate assistant in history, organiza-tional; Newl Cornish, '45, graduate assis-
tant in economics, faculty relations; andJulian Arrian, graduate students in business
admistration, finance. The organization willuse the UN principle of rotating chairmen.
The faculty relations committee is al-ready working on a facultv poll, and the
questions used in it are indicative of someof the objectives which GSO wishes to
attain. They are:
1. Should graduate students have to go
through the same registration procedure as
undergraduates? Or is it a waste of time?
2. Should graduate students have to be
under the same social jurisdiction as under-
graduates?
3. Should graduate students he on the

Athletic Department Completes Lineup;
Leo Harris Named To Director's Post
THE last major gap in the University'sathletic department was filled in Janu-ary with the appointment of Leo A.
Harris to the newly-created position of ath-letic director. His appointment was an-
nounced by President Harry K. Xewburnand is subject to the approval of the state
board of higher education.
Harris is a former Stanford universityathlete and presently is superintendent of
schools at Carmel, California. His appoint-
ment is effective July 1, or sooner if pos-sible, depending on his release by his own
board of education.
The athletic director's position, createdwhen the athletic board resigned in Janu-
ary, carries with it full authority to admin-
ister the University's athletic program withdirect responsibility to the President.
Dr. Xewburn also announced that Anson
B. Cornell, former athletic manager, would
assume his new duties as athletic business
manager immediately.
It is hoped that Harris will be able totake over his duties before July 1. However,
he will be on the campus in the next fewmonths to aid in the development of the
budget and with personnel problems. Hewill defininitely attend the spring meeting
of the Pacific Coast conference as one ofOregon's representatives.
T HE new athletic director has had wide.He graduated from Stanford in 1927 where
he was a football lineman under the famedPop Warner. He also participated in swim-
ming and basketball. He received hismaster's degree at Stanford in 1930.
Following his graduation from StanfordHarris coached football, basketball and
baseball at Fresno high school for fiveyears. In 1932 he became head football
coach at Fresno State Teachers college. Hethen became vice-principal at Edison Tech-
nical high school in Fresno. He held thatposition one year before being elevated to
principal of Fresno high school, a post heheld for five years.
In 1942 Harris entered the navy and
served eight months as a lieutenant before
he was medically discharged. From 1943
until 1945 he was director of the California
high school cadets as an officer in the
national guard. In 1945 he assumed his
present position of district superintendent
of schools at Carmel.
Harris' coaching record at Fresno State
included a co-championship of the Far
Western conference in 1934 and a cham-
pionship in 1935.
HE is acquainted with the Pacific Coastofficial for the past seven years. He refereed
last year's Oregon-Washington game at
Seattle.
Harris' appointment virtually completes
the new athletic picture. Dick Miller, chief
assistant to head coach Jim Aiken, arrived
last month and started his duties as line
coach. Miller was Aiken's aide at Nevada.
Jim Zazula, whom Aiken called one of the
best backs he has ever coached, was ap-
Leo A. Harris, whose appointment asathletic director was announced last month.
He will have full authority to administer
the University's athletic program.
pointed Oregon backfield coach and alsoarrived on the campus in February. He
came from Akron university. If a thirdassistant is deemed necessary his appoint-
ment probably will not be made until afterspring practice.
Vaughn Corley, line coach under TexOliver, announced his resignation last
moth and departed for Tuscon where hewill become line coach at the University
of Arizona.
It is also expected that John Warren, theathletic department's jack-of-all trades,
will remain as freshman football coach,swimming coach and assistant in track.
Aiken has indicated his desire to haveWarren continue as an assistant, although
no official announcement has been madeyet.
The only gap remaining will be the fresh-man basketball and baseball coaching
position.

Swim Team Ends
Successful Season
' I 'HE University of Oregon swimming
I team completed its 1947 season with a?*? second place in the northern division
dual meet season and a third in the north-ern division championship meet in Seattle.
The powerful Washington Huskies,strong contenders for the national col-
legiate swimming championship, soundlytrounced the Ducks to take the dual meet
title and the Huskies and the WashingtonState Cougars finished one-two ahead of
the Webfoots in the division meet.
Coach John Warren's paddlers sweptthrough two easy victories over Oregon
State?one at Corvallis to open the seasonand the second at Eugene?dumped hap-
less Idaho and in the final meet of theseason nosed out Washington State for the
second place spot.
The Ducks had several strong events.Earl Walters, holder of many records in
the backstroke, was a consistent winner inhis event and was a tower of strength in
the medley relay. He was ably backed byJohn Miller in the backstroke event.
BOB Hiatt was the top winner for the.
Some of the best races of the season werestaged in the 220-yard and 440-yard events.
Hiatt, a slow starter, would trail for themajority of the races and then bring the
stands to their feet with his driving finishes.In the Washington State meet both events
were decided by the final slap of the handagainst the finish line.
Tom Corbett and Ben Holcomb sharedthe honors in diving. Both were winners
in the dual meets and Corbett was thepoint-getter for the Ducks in the division
meet.
Ralph Heustis swam the entire seasonunder the greatest of handicaps in the
breaststroke. The lanky team captain wasbadly wounded in the leg during the war.
The injury compelled him to swim almostentirely with his arms. The lack of leg
kick cost him many races as he tired underthe straing before the last lap. His race
against Doc Fuller of Washington Statewas one of the best of the year.
George Moorehead was the top sprinterfor the Ducks. He was supported by Alden
Sundlie and Paul Thompson in both events.
The team is expected to be stronger nextseason. Graduation losses will not cut into
the team strength.

Morse Law School Visitor;
Deplores 'Pressure Politics'
By VERNON WHITE, 47
SEXATOR Wayne L. Morse, in hishrst appearance before the law schoolstudent body since his resignation as
dean three years ago, credited the lawschool by saying that nowhere in the United
State could a better legal education beobtained.
Morse's speech here was made Febru-ary 1, and was one of many talks made
during his few days away from Washing-
ton. His topic was: "Politics, Theory andPractice."
He deplored the growing threat to goodgovernment of pressure politics of the
"vote for this bill, or else" type. Howeverhe made it clear that he did not mean the
regular Washington lobbies because theyperform a valuable function in informing
the congressmen upon issues. They admittheir one-sidedness?but realize that they
would be doing themselves more harm thangood by giving false information or by
using pressure methods.
The real threat, Morse said, is the grow-ing tendency of many voters to regard their
representatives as mere followers, whoshould vote in accordance with the opinion
of the majority of their constituents. Thesenator declared that the voters should
choose men who will retain their inde-pendence of judgment irregardless of the
pressure brought to bear upon them. The
danger to democracy's functioning, accord-ing to Morse, is the legislator who fails to
keep his intellectual honesty, and the solu-tion is not to be found in legislation con-
trolling the lobbies, but in the ballot box.
All telegrams of a politically threatening
nature, the "vote for this or lose my sup-port" type, which fail to give the voter's
reasons, belong in the wastebasket, thesenator said.
"Xo congressman can serve the peopleby adjusting his vote according to whether
the 'for' or 'against' pile of telegrams ishigher," declared Morse. He added-that in
his opinion the overwhelming majority oflawmakers do not stoop to this on any
given issue, but a few always do. It isencouraging, he said, that many of the
newer men in congress are standing upagainst this kind of pressure.
As an example, Morse brought out somelittle realized facts concerning the Brew-
ster committee on war frauds. He chargedthat the continuation of the committee was
a maneuver to keep a chairmanship forSenator Brewster, a Republican from
Maine, whose argument was that the com-mittee already in existence could do a better
job than a new one.
In answer, Morse noted that of the ten
men on the committee, only six have as yetbeen appointed, and three of these have
had less than a year of experience with theinvestigation. He also pointed out that the
actual work is done by a staff, not by thecommittee members, and that the only
thing involved in such a change would be
the transfer of the staff and files to thestanding committee. He said that the Re-
publicans' failure to do so was a retreatfrom his party's announced support of the
LaFollette-Monroney reorganization bill.
SPEAKIXG of the current debate overthe variance between political theory and
practice, Morse declared: "I'd have tothrow my intellect away to stand with my
party on that issue." He is of the opinionthat tax reductions made now would cheap-
en the value of the dollar, and that any sub-stantial cut in government spending will
have to come out of the armed services bud-get. The former dean believes that if per-
manent peace is to be achieved, the daymust come when international disarma-
ment takes place. However, he added thatfor the next 25 years the United States must
remain in a position to keep the peace, orthere will be none.
Those who want an across-the-board in-come tax slash, Morse charged, want to
get the United States out of Europe, andthe only possible result of such a move
would be chaos. The present is the time topay off a substantial part of the war debt,
the senator said.
America must be wary of forming herlines, as that is the quickest road to totali-
tarianism, was a further comment. In re-gard to some of the labor legislation now
pending, Morse believes that it mightcreate such class lines by forcing the unions
to organize for the sole purpose of defeatingit. He declared that the public interest
demands some means to teach labor thatits signature on a labor contract is just as
binding as that of management.

Dean Hollis Lists Small Handful
Ot Many Outstanding Law Alums
By LAURA OLSON, '49
THE law school, situated in Fentonhall on the University of Oregon cam-pus, is one of the oldest divisions of
the University. It was originally established
in 1884 as a night school in Portland,Oregon.
Moved to the Eugene campus in 1915,the law school headquarters were installed
in the Oregon building, where the schoolremained until the present University
library was completed.
At that time, the law school was trans-ferred to the former library building, the
library was moved to its new location andthe law students found a place ideal for
study (or watching coeds cross the cam-
pus). This addition to Fenton hall, locatedon the west of the building, is a fire proof
wing where the law school books are filed.
The school was officially made a mem-ber of the American Law School in 1919.
It is also on the approved list of the Amer-ican Bar association.
Unique, in that it has its own studentbody officers, the school also maintains a
sports program and is a distinct unit of theUniversity.
T HE graduates of the law school have
the University and the state of Oregon maybe proud," Dean Orlando J. Hollis of the
law school said, "and most of them haveengaged in active practice in Oregon."
Many of them have been outstanding inprofessional attainment, he added, and have
rendered public service in the state legis-lature, on public boards and commissions
Carlton E. Spencer, '13
and on the board of governors, the board ofbar examiners and the various committees
of the Oregon state bar.
Many law school graduates have left thestate to practice law, and the federal bureau
of investigation has attracted many.
The graduates have occupied importantpositions with the state tax commission,
the state attorney general's office, the statehighway commission, the United States
atorney's office, the legal department of theBonneville power administration, the de-
partment of justice, the department of stateand various administrative agencies of the
federal government.
Other graduates of the law school havebecome associated with banks, trust com-
panies, title companies and industrial asso-ciations.
"There are few counties in Oregon thathave not elected during the last 20 years a
graduate of the law school to the office ofdistrict attorney," Dean Hollis stated.
DEAX Hollis selected the following
ates and their present activities to illustratethe range of public service rendered and the
public employment engaged in by thegraduates of the University of Oregon
school of law.

THE 28th annual press conference ofthe Oregon Newspaper Publishers
ary 21 and 22 attracted 150 delegates and
might well have been called a second
Homecoming because of the great number
of University of Oregon alumni who at-
tended the meeting.
Following registration early Friday
morning, newsmen appointed committees.
Mary Conn Brown '2ft, of Redmond;
\\ 'alter May, Oregon City; and Earle
Richardson '20, of Dallas were elected to
serve on the nominating committee. Asso-
ciate editor of the Bend Bulletin, Henry X.
Fowler '14; \V. Verne McKinney, Hills-
boro: and R. M. Hayden, Lebanon, were
appointed to serve on the resolutions com-
mittee.
Feminine members of the fourth estate
were well represented on the program.
Freda Goodrich Mowrey, '24, club editor
of the Portland Oregonian, dealt with ele-
mentary instruction for publicity chairmen
of various types of clubs, and of the benefits
for such instruction.
President Harry K. Newburn announced
at the Friday luncheon that he had appoint-
ed George S. Turnbull to continue as dean
of the journalism school for "the remainder
of his academic career.1' Main speaker at
the luncheon was Dr. Paul C. Packer,
chancellor of the Oregon state board of
higher education. Robert C. Hall of the
University Press was chairman.
HIGHLIGHT of the conference was the
hotel at which Hugh Baillie, president of
the United Press, was guest speaker.
Baillie advocated "absolutely free, untram-
meled, and uncensored interchange of
news among all the countries of the world"
and stressed that "the United States is the
greatest stabilizing influence in the world
today."
The Eugene Gleemen, led by Dean Theo-
dore Kratt of the University music school,
sang several songs and were enthusiastic-
ally received by the pressmen at the
banquet.
Before the banquet, the Eugene Register-
Guard was host at a cocktail hour where
many alums among the newsmen gathered
to talk over "the good old days."
"My, how the place has grown," was the
general blanket statement.
Among the alumni present were Robert
K. Allen, '32, son of the late Dean Eric \V.
Allen, and his wife "Dusty" Farnham, '26.
They flew down from Seattle, where he is
an advertising agency proprietor.
Other advertising men included former
Emerald editor Leith Abbott '23. head of
the new Portland branch of Foote, Cone
and Belding advertising agency; Walter
Vernstrom '38, and Roy N. Vernstrom '41,
from Portland. Walter's wife, Marge

Dads Offer Help to War Veterans,
Set Aside Funds for Student Union
THOMAS F. GUNN
President of Oregon Dads
By JANE ELLSWORTH, '48
T HE 1947 Dad's Weekend passes intothe annals of history of the Univer-
daughters and sons will long remember theevents which made it such a success.
On Friday night, February 14, many dadswere on hand to watch the Oregon basket-
ball team deliver its own kind of valentine,an 81 to 41 victory over the Idaho Vandals.
Registration for dads was held all daySaturday, and the record shows that 448
signed up to participate in the weekend'sfestivities. Delta Delta Delta and Sigma
Alpha Epsilon won recognition for havingthe most dads registered while Sherry Ross
and Omega halls had 100 per cent repre-sentation of freshman dads, tying for first
place honors in that contest.
The University held open house ofschools and departments Saturday morning
and at noon dads attended their twentiethannual luncheon in John Straub hall. Col.
Thomas F. Gunn, president of the OregonDads, presided; Dr. Harry K. Xewburn,
University president, officially welcomedthe guests for whom Jim Aiken, football
coach responded; and Dr. Paul C. Packer,chancellor of the Oregon state system of
higher education gave the luncheon ad-
dress.
T WO resolutions concerning the Stu-
campus were passed at the business meet-
ing in Johnson hall Saturday afternoon.
Oregon Dads carried a motion to appro-
priatae $500 annually from the iJads' Day
registration fees, as long as needed, to be
donated to the Student Union campaignfund. It was also voted that the registration
fee be set at no less than one dollar.
A second resolution specified that the
Oregon Dads go on record as an organiza-tion willing to assist veterans and other
students in the solution of any problems
which may arise concerning the continu-ance and completion of their education at
the University.
Five executive committee vacancies were
filled at the meeting: Dean Vincent, suc-ceeding himself, and William Bowes, both
of Portland; the Reverend George Swift,
succeeding himself, and Walter Kirk, bothof Salem; and R. G. Extra, Coos Bay.
The Webfoot team again defeated IdahoSaturday night, <>() to 49. After the game,
living organizations entertained the fatherswith firesides, smokers, and open houses.
Oregon students acted as hosts and host-
esses Sunday noon when each living organi-zation held a dinner in dad's honor.
Seven local units have been added to theDads organization in the last year in the
following towns: Albany, Ashland, Baker,Coquille, LaGrande, Oregon City, and
Tillamook.
The Oregon Dads, meeting on the campus February 14-16, filled five vacancies in its
executive committee. Pictured above (left to right) are: Walter Kirk of Salem,

Arter 63 Years, Pioneer Alumnus
Remembers First Glimpse ofVDeady
AFTER the lapse of 63 years I stillremember distinctly the first time Isaw Deady hall. It was in May, 1883.
I was not yet eight years old. We were onour way from Portland to Ashland by
covered wagon. Railroads only went partof the way, I watched it from the time we
first saw it when on Eleventh street untilwe passed a bend in the road at Fairmount.
Standing alone.it seemed so much taller
and larger and the hill so much higher whenthe campus was barren as it was at that
time, than it does now surrounded with talltrees and with Yillard near by.
We located on a mountain homesteadat Ashland. I had no opportunity to attend
school until the old North school at Ash-land was finished late in the fall of 1884. I
then entered the chart (beginners) classwhen I was well past nine years of age.
We boys had to work very hard and wereallowed to go to school only about six
months each winter; however, I wasallowed to go the full term when I entered
high school, which I finished in 1896.
I always had a desire to attend a Univer-sity. We were poor and such an expense
seemed impossible, but I still had a vaguehope. One day the principal of the high
school remarked to me, "Electrical engi-neering is a desirable profession for a
young man." He said: "You can get sucha course at the state University at Eugene."
To me it seemed impossible of attainment.
Shortly afterward each member of ourclass received by mail a copy of the Oregon
Monthly. In it was an excellent picture ofthe Oregon football team of 1895. I became
interested at once and said to myself, "I amgoing to the University of Oregon and
1 am going to get on that team." LaterDr. Chapman, president of the Univer-
sity, was in Ashland. We were intro-duced. He said to me, "If you can arrive
in Eugene with $40 and are willing towork you can make it." I did.
At that time Ashland and KlamathFalls, Dick Smith's home town, had only
three-year high schools. In fact, as Iremember, there were only three or pos-
sibly four four-year-high schools in theState, at Portland, Astoria and Baker.
In the other towns there were one, twoor three-year high schools. Eugene and
Corvallis had had no high schools. Stu-dents entered the state schools direct
from the eighth grade and took a four-year preparatory course
In 1896 there were but four buildingson the campus: Deady, Villard, Friendly
and a brick gymnasium which laterburned down. The tall trees which you
now have on the old campus were lessthan ten feet tall. The Condon oaks were
much the same as now.
Deady hall, erected in 1873, is the pio-
neer building on the campus. It stood
alone until 1886, when Villard hall was
built. In the accompanying article, C. E.
Wagner, '01, gives his impression of his
first glimpse of the historic hall, and tells
how he happened to attend the Univer-
sity.

An old mule street car ran at intervals out
Eleventh street as far as Yillard. Most peo-
ple were so sorry for the mule that they
would not ride the street car unless circum-
stances made it imperative.
At our first assembly in Villard hall,
pasted on the wall back of the platform in
large gold letters was "UNIVERSITY OF
OREGON." For the first time I realized
that I was really attending a University.
State Board Approves Recent
Appointments to University Staff
T^HE appointment of Miss Reta Ridings,
?* '24, as librarian in the architecture and
allied arts library was approved by the state
board of education in January. Miss Rid-
ings received her B.S. and L.S. degrees
from the Carnegie library school at the
Carnegie Institute at Pittsburg. She was on
the campus from 1926 to 1(>2X as reference
librarian and again from 1('45 to 1946 as
acting law librarian. Miss Ridings is now at
the University of Wyoming, at Laramie,
and will be en the campus at the start of
the spring term.
Mrs. Francis Manville was appointed an

Flash-backs to the eventful past: that solemn, joyous wedding.
Your first home. Success. Then . . . the tranquil years.
Will you, when you retire, be free to follow the sun, to do
the things you've most wanted to do?
You've taken steps, naturally, to finance this period and to
make it the most deeply rewarding of your life.
But remember, all things human change. Your financial
plans, your insurance program of a few years ago, may not fit
your needs today, or those of the years immediately ahead. For
this reason it is wise, especially in times like the present, to

JOSEPH K. CARSON, '17
Joe Carson
Nominated
By JACQUELINE YOUNGER/50
JOSEPH K. Carson '17, former Portlandmayor, recently was nominated byPresident Harry S. Truman to fill thevacancy on the United States maritime
commission. Although there have been pro-tests from the maritime unions, who con-
tend that Carson supported anti-laboractions while serving as mayor of Portland,
senate approval is expected.
Maritime commission members receive$10,000 a year and serve a six-year term.
Hillmann Lueddemann of Portland head-ed the campaign for the appointment of
Carson, who had support from Oregon,Washington and California and agreed to
be considered for the office although he dis-liked leaving his law practice, in which he
specialized in admiralty law. With thewhole Pacific Northwest behind him and a
respect from both Democrats and Repub-licans, he is expected by prominent leaders
throughout the state to serve in this newcapacity as efficiently and successfully as
everything else he has participated in. Hehas a well-deserved reputation for complete
fairness and the ability to look at thingsfrom all sides.
After receiving his degree from the Uni-versity of Oregon law school in 1917, Car-
son was admitted to the Oregon bar andshortly afterwards enlisted in the army
where he served in World War I, first as aprivate, working up to the rank of first
lieutenant by 1919. In 1921 he began hislaw practice and continued with it until
1933 at which time he was elected mayor ofPortland, and served two term*, declining
re-election. During his tenure of office asmayor, Carson helped to greatly reduce the
public debt and saw the plans fur a modernairport and a harbor drive being formulated.
In 1941 Carson again entered the army,this time for a period of four years. He
spent two years of this time in higli militarypositions in Kngland, France, and lastly in
Bad Manheim, Germany where he waschief of internal affairs and of the legal
branch of the Kuropean theater's general

Theater Fund
Is Established
ESTABLISHMENT of the Ethel Saw-yer University Theater fund wasannounced recently by President
Harry K. Newburn, upon the acceptanceof a $1000 gift from the estate of the late
Miss Ethel Sawyer, former Universitybrowsing room librarian.
Gift conditions specified that the gift was
to be used for some tangible and permanentimprovement in the University Theater
under the disbursement of Horace \V. Rob-inson, director.
Miss Sawyer's deep interest in dramaand her belief that the theater has potential
powers in creative and interpretative chan-nels moved the administrator of her estate
to offer the money. The theater and thelibrary were the two roads, Miss Sawyer
believed, through which the people could
most effectively be enlightened. Because ofits greater loyalty to artistic and human-
istic values, she considered the theater agreater social force than the library.
Robinson remembers particularly MissSawyer's interest in experimental theatrical
productions and plans to use part of thefund in trying this type of production.
A memorial production, "Skin of OurTeeth," by Thornton Wilder was presented
by the University Theater for Miss Sawyerin 1944.
Miss Sawyer served as browsing roomlibrarian from 1937 until her death in 1942.
The University's first gift from her estatewas $1000 for the establishment of the
Ethel Sawyer collection in the library,which includes a cross section of 560
volumes of her personal library.

THE STORY OFCHROMIUM
COLOR FOR ARTISTS
The yellows, blues, and violets of the
artist's palette; the red of the ruby, the
green of the emerald ? all come from
chromium, a metal named from the
Greek word chroma, meaning color.
Discovered in 1797, this metal was for
years just a laboratory curiosity, but is
now top-ranking among alloys.
Caravans of camels laden with chromite
ore have often formed the first link on an
assembly line thousands of miles long.
From the mines of Rhodesia, Turkey,
Russia, and India this valuable ore
starts its long journey to Electromet
furnaces, where dozens of different types
of chromium alloys are produced.
VERSATILE ALLOY
This silvery-white metal, used with steel
and iron in amounts from 1 to 35 per
cent, imparts many of its own desirable
properties. To stainless steels, chromium
gives resistance to heat, rust, and cor-
rosion?to heat-treated steels, strength
and resistance to shock?? to cast iron,
hardness and wear resistance.
NOT JUST SKIN DEEP
The luster of stainless steel withstands
all weather conditions?on streamlined
trains as well as on skyscrapers. For
hospital, food, and dairy equipment,
too, this steel is popular, since it is so
easy to clean and sterilize. And for the
oil and chemical industries, its resistance
to corrosion and heat makes it ideal.
Axles and armor plate, dies and drills,
shafts and springs ? these are made
from engineering steels that must have
the hardness and strength necessary to
withstand wear and strain. That's why
engineers specify steels with 1 to 3 per
cent chromium for applications where
dependability is essential.
It's Been A Long lime
...since Electromet started to pro-
duce ferro-alloys ? 40 years ago.
In fact, as far back as 1897, a plant
in Virginia, which later joined Elec-
tromet, was the first to produce
ferrochrome commercially in the
United States. Electromet is con-
stantly developing new and better
alloys, among them the low-carbon
ferrochrome essential in the pro-
duction of stainless steels. You will
learn more about chromium and
other alloys by writing to our
Technical Service Department for
the booklet, "Electromet Products
and Service."

How much does
the telephone company
earn?
We asked a number of people this question . . .
"Hoic much ivould you say the telephone com-
pany makes (after all expenses and taxes) on
the money invested in the business?"1'
Twelve per cent said 4t"6% or less/"
Eleven per cent said "7% to 10%."
Twelve per cent said "15%, 20% or 25%/'
Eight per cent said "30% or more/'
Fifty-seven per cent had no opinion.
The actual figure is less than many people think.
Even with telephone calls at a record peak, Bell
System earnings on the money invested in the
business have averaged only a shade over 514%
for the last five years ? including the wur years.
And that's not enough to insure good telephone
service.
We thought you might like to know in case
you have been wondering about telephone
earnings.
