McKinney, who acted as an nouncer for the Alpha Upsilon program, as well as star perform er, ran his numbers off at a rapid ^ tempo, varying vocal offerings with instrumental selections. A trio composed of McKinney, Rich ard Averill, and Arthur Johnson produced some pleasing harmony effects in the concluding number, “Dream of Love.” The program was planned by Richard Averill. Alpha Tau Omega was also to have been heard last night, but suddenly announced their decision to withdraw from the contest, thus leaving a gap in the schedule which was impossible to fill. S. A.

The Moving FiiMjer -o QUALIFICATIONS . . . TERMS VS. HOURS -By OLIVER POLITICUS First of the disagreements which reached the meeting of the entire constitutional revision committee was connected with qualifications for candidates for student offices. There are three separate ways of qualifying candidates: by terms of residence - attendance completed, by number of years in school, and by number of hours completed. * * * To cover every possible cir cumstance two of the three will be used, no doubt, but which two remain to be seen. A pro posal that number of years in school (years being those in which at least two terms have been completed) be taken as the only qualification received scant support. * * * Those in favor of the single ruling declare that student gov ernment is not necessarily con nected with scholarship, and that the University administration would not permit a student to en gage in outside activities unless his grades and hours completed were satisfactory. The plan fa vored by those in charge seems to be a combination of hours com pleted and terms residence. * * * Whether that combination will be satisfactory depends on the number of hours required for student office. That number must have some relation with the qualification necessary for class membership. If there is ' any overlapping the old cry against hour qualifications at all could be justly raised. * * * Some students would then fContinued <>n Page Three) Plays by Faculty Members’ Wives Will Be Given at Guild Hall Tonight By Phi Beta, Honorary Organization Girls Try Luck at Women’s Edition, Mary Klemm And Elise Schroeder Will Be Editors for Day; Men To Have Enforced Vacation When the curtain parts at 8 o’clock tonight at the Guild thea tre, a scene of sumiher loveliness will be revealed. It is the setting for the one-act play, ‘‘From the Book of Wonder,” written by Alice Henson Erust, produced by Phi Beta, honorary musical and d*a matic organization. In sharp con trast to this amusing fantasy, the second play on the program, "Get away,” by Sally Elliot Allen, has the commonplace, rather drab set ting of a dining room in the home of an ordinary, uncultured family. Margaret Turner, who directs both productions, has several peo ple in the casts who have gained recognition for their acting abil ity. Diana Deininger and Flor ence Shumaker, who have leading roles, are two of the best known. "Getaway” is a psychological play and deals with a girl who breaks away from the influence of a domineering mother to win happiness. The casts of the two plays are as follows: “From the Book of Wonder”: Phyllis, Lova Buchanan; Pegeen, Florence Shumaker; Prunella, Katherine Starr; Paul, Arthur Taylor; Jupe Pluve, Jack Waldron; Dr. Pinna Fact, Miles Shaw; Spring Madness, Mildred LeComp te Moore; Summer Gladness, Irma Logan; Winter Sadness, Norma Jacobs; Chorus of Frogs and Crickets.

Advisor Discusses Filipino Question Student Gives Many Reasons for Island’s Independence In Answer to Dr. Warren D. Smith Pastor Nieva, sophomore in po litcal science, has prepared an an swer to the arguments against Filipino independence that Dr. Dr. Warren D. Smith, advisor of the International Relations club, gave at a meeting last week in which there was much colorful discussion. Dr. Smith’s reasons, as advanc ed at the meeting, are as follows: general world situation very un settled, making an independent venture into government at this time very dangerous; lack of eco nomic preparedness of the Philip pines; lack of wide diffusion of democratic principles; comparative lack of literacy; prevalence of grafting native bosses; risks of losing the prosperity now enjoyed; faults in the theory of the right of self-determination; independ ence is a slogan used by some lead ers there to keep themselves in of fice; need of white control over native production; necessity for control of tropical diseases. Nieva’s reply, summarized, is as follows; The Filipinos are willing to place their faith in the protec tion of the League of Nations, and on their own ability to equip land and naval forces for themselves; Filipino literacy equals that of any of the states of the Union, except Alabama; the Filipinos are a race having their own traditions, habits, Cast for French Play To Be Announced Soon The final cast of “Leopold Le Bien Aime,” the play to be pre sented soon by the romance lan guage department, will be an nounced Friday, according to Louis Myers, director. Tryouts will be held at 7:15 Thursday at the University high school auditorium, and the time and place where the play will be given will be announced then. The double cast which has been practicing since the first of the term is composed of Charles How ell, Mrs. C. B. Beall, Cornelia Pipes, and Louis Myers, faculty members, and Barbara Barker, Janet Fitch, Barbara Hedges, Mrs. C. G. Howell, Jewel Ellis, Diana Deininger, Anne Kistner, Arthur Gray, Maurice Baker, Richard Givens, and Bob Guild, students. i and social customs, and can never be Americanized in the sense that they have to adopt the customs, philosophies, as well as the princi ples and ideals, of the American people; lack of economic prepared ness in the Philippines is due to the uncertainty of the political sit uation; the Filipinos do not want to exploit their natural resources for another man’s gain; the Fili pino people are determined to live an independent life and are one in their demand for independence, as are their leaders; in the long run, with independence, the economic Hall’s Bluff Called; Staff Enjoys Cinema By A. L. S. The “Shack” was quiet at 9:05 last night. In the room where the green shades usually blaze far into the night while reporters and copy-readers put out the daily Emerald, not a person was seen. Dark mystery was scented; perhaps a kidnapping had been perpetrated and the Emerald workers were being held for Investigation followed, led by the editor. These facts were bared on the mystery. 1. Vint Hall, managing edi tor, in a moment of overconfi dence, had offered to take the whole staff to a show if they got the paper out by 9 o’clock. 2. The staff, usually rather slow about those things, took on pep and called the bold manag ing editor’s bluff... At 9 o’clock every headline was written and the paper “put to bed.” 8. Protesting and on the verge of insanity, not to men tion bankruptcy, the managing editor was borne out of the shack on the shoulders of his speedy workers—and heading for the show which he had promised. “If I open my mouth again, I hope they shove the Igloo in it,” Hall is quoted as saying after his harrowing experiences. MORAL: Don’t be too sure a turtle can’t run. and social situation of the Islands will be better because the political status of the islands is definitely known. Nieva concludes with the follow ing statement: ‘‘It has always been at the beginning the purpose of the American people to grant the Filipinos their independence as soon as stable government can be established in the islands. . . “There is today a stable govern ment in the Philippines. It is a government elected by the peace ful suffrages of the people, sup ported by the people, and capable of maintaining order and fulfilling its international obligations. It is patterned after republican in stitutions, and has the necessary checks and balances; it is run on a party system . . . The Philippine government today has excelled in the promotion of peace, safety, and prosperity of the islands. “Wherever there has been a mor al obligation of the American peo ple contracted by their constitu tional agencies, it has always been a question of honor for them to fulfill it . . . when she has done that, she may have established a new bond of relationship between Americans and Filipinos stronger than that which now exists. The Filipinos are determined to live an independent life. Give them their independence and you have set a concrete contribution to the cause of peace.” Dr. Smith will address the Nurses club at the Eugene cham ber of commerce tonight on the Filipino question. Allen Recommends Three for Award Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, telegraphed yesterday to the national head quarters of Sigma Delta Chi, men’s journalism honorary, rec ommending Cecil Snyder, Wilfred Brown, and Mary Klemm, seniors in the Oregon school, for the high est honor which can come to a journalism student. This consists of the annual na tional award made by the frater nity, which corresponds in the field of journalism to Phi Beta Kappa, and which entitles each student so honored to wear the Sigma Delta Chi scholarship key.

Tho first was the ap pointment of Ed Fisher as chair man of the gen eral committee in charge of plans. The other was the donation by Pi Beta Phi of a new cup for the winning women’s organization. These an nounceme nts were made yes Ed Fisher terday by Ken ton Hamaker, chairman of the A. S. U. O. music committee. Fisher will announce his appointments later in the week, it was said. Houses Urged "All houses are urged to get up on their singing,’’ Hamaker said yesterday in making the an nouncements, "and are reminded that extra credit in judging will be given to any house presenting a new and original Oregon song, of any kind.” Any houses liking to learn more Oregon songs may obtain copies of a group of songs which are be ing distributed for the song week, Hamaker said. Cups Offered Two cups have always been of fered as prizes in the contest—one for the winning men’s organiza tion and one for the best women’s organization. Two years ago, however, when the last song week was held, Pi Beta Phi obtained permanent possession of the wom en’s cup by winning it three times successively. The organization has decided, therefore, to donate a cup which will be awarded under the same terms as the old one—three con secutive winnings entitling the winner to permanent possession. The men’s cup is awarded under the same conditions, and has been won twice already by Theta Chi. Seven buglers blow taps every Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock on the Ohio State university cam pus.
