Coolidge Kills Farm Ai<l Bill President Says Measure Bureaueratie; Would Cause Surplus <Bv United Trpsa) WASHINGTON, May 23—Presi dent Coolidge today vetoed for the second time within two years the MoNary-Haugen “farm relief bill de signed to aid stabilization of the agricultural industry. No chance of passing the bill over the veto is seen now. Action would have to come first in the senate since that body passed the bill first but the legislative ;jam would offer a justifiable excuse to lay the bill aside. On passing originally the senate showed sufficient strength to pass the measure over a veto but the votes are lacking in the house ac cording to the roll call there on the measure. The bill sets up a federal farm board appointed by the presi dent which is to supervise surplus operations. For surplus operations a $100,000,000 revolving fund is pro vided, half allocated to a loan fund, the other half to equalization fee operations. In his veto message accompanying the bill to congress, the president pointed out the following as his objections to the measure: Its attempted price fixing policy. The tax characteristics of the equalizing fee. The widespread bureaucracy which it would set up. TIs encouragement to profiteering and wasteful distribution by middle man. Its stimulation of over production. Its aid to our foreign agriculture competitors. In referring to farm products sur pluses, the president said: “The recurring problem of sur pluses in farm products has long been a subject of deep concern to the entire nation, and any economi cally sound, workable solution of it would command not only the np proval but the profound gratitude of our people. 'The present measure, however, falls far short of that most desirable objective; indeed, al though it purports to provide farm relief by lessening the cares of our greatest industry, it not only fails to accomplish that purpose but actu ally heaps even higher its burdens of political control, of distribution costs, and of foreign competition.

Last Women s League Tea Held; Florence MclSerney New Head Tlie last Women’s League tea 01 (Tie year was given yesterday aft (moon in the Woman’s building. Musical numbers and dancing were furnished between the hours of 3 and 5. Florence McNerney is to act as chairman of the teas for next year, and will take the place of Glenna Heacock who has made the plans for the ones' of this year. “We believe that the teas this year have come one step closer to the ideal of democracy which is one of Women’s League ideals,” said (Henna Heacock, chairman of the teas. “They have given girls n chance for a social time with those of other houses and with the independent women. It has promot ed, we believe, a more democratic spirit for it is one of the Lew places where all girls fpel free to go for a few minutes of sociality.” Members of Kwama and Thespian have served at these affairs, and because they are representative or ganizations they have helped girls make friends with each other.

Dunbar Adds Collection Of Foraminifera to Lab Equipment A Collection of foraminifera from the Gulf Coast states, Europe, ami various lopalitics in tlie North At lantip, has been added to tho equip ment of the paleontology labora toiy of the department of geology by C. P. Dunbar, researeh assistant of I)r. E. T. Hodge. The fossil speci mens, 700 in number, represent material from 28 different hori zons, ranging in age from the Creta peons to the recent, and is a collection of special im portance to the training of petro leum geologists as well as having much scientific interest, according to E. L. Packard, professor of pale ontology. Foraminifera arc small, usually microscopic, single-celled animals which are found floating at or near the surface of the sea, or crawling along the bottom of the sea where in certain sections they may be very abundant. These small specimens, in order to be seen, must be mounted on slides. When examined under a miscoscope they show a. wide range of form, each specie having its own charac teristics. The suggestions of tech nique in mounting and obtaining these specimens were acquired by the donor from association of stu dents in laboratories and with the helpful assistance of Professors II. V. Howe and Ian Campbell of Louisiana State University, from where he was graduated. In the past these shells accumulat ed in such large quantities as to form extensive chalk deposits which occur in various parts of the world. Foraminifera are of special interest from the standpoint of geology says Dunbar, since they are used in the correlation of various geological formations, each horizon being char acterized by a different association of species. Petroleum geologists are using them extensively to determine the geologic column of wells, as they are so tiny that they are carried up with the drill cutting and evidence the depth of the well and its con tents.

Private cars will take the mem bers and friends to the base of tiie mountain. Guests of the club have been iyvited from "Albany and Cor vallis. Thurston believes it will bo possible to drive within five miles of the summit. lie adds that the panoramic view from there is worth hiking that distance many times, and that the Pacific Ocean may be seen if the weather is clear enough. The party will leave the Chamber of Commerce at 7:00 a. m. Sunday, May 27, and will return that eve ning. Anyone interested, whether a member of the club or not, is invited h> sign for the trip at the Co-op with Elmer Adams, or can notify Ed Thurston at 425-M. P.oots, preferably hob-nailed, will be necessaryt as well as one lunch,! cup and spoon apiece. A fee will provide for coffee furnished by the club. Each member of the, party! will be expected to share the ex- j pcnse of gas and oil for the trip if. Ice does not take his own car. A number of University students have gone on the Outdoor Club trips this season. Dr. John Bovard is piesident of the group, which was j organized last fall, and is planning: its first extensive' oulting during August. A two weeks camp will be established at the base of the Three Sisters, in the center of the country described by Dr. Edwin T. Hodge ii his “Mount Multnomah.” In fact, the camp site will be only a short distance from that of Dr. Hodge’s group of geology students while making a survey of the site of the prehistoric mountain, of which the Sisters and several smaller peaks adjacent remain. All of them are snow-covered almost the year round. Further information regarding the ccst and equipment necessary for the cuting can be liad from Marion Mc Clain at the Co-op, or from the club headquarters at 44 West Tenth street. English A List Revised; 360 Fail To Take Work Approximately .100 students who flunked the English A examination and are supposed to have taken the course, have failed to do so, accord- | ing to the revised list of names, | made at the registrar’s office. The list is posted upstairs at Yillard. According to Ernest Erkilla, who teaches one of the English A classes, i seme of the list are seniors, and they will not be allowed to graduate un less worked off. Next year, owing to the increas ing number of students enrolled in this course a $10 fee will be charged, to defray expenses of a teacher, said Dr. C. V. Boyer, head of the department. One hour credit will be given in the course. Board of Regents Meet Scheduled for June 9 The board of regents of the Uni versity of Oregon will meet on June 9, the Saturday before commence ment.
