The many would-be chorus girls

Miss Moore said. “We expect to
select a chorus which will be bet

! University of Oregon Defeated in
Dual Debate With Oregon Stale
_
■ Unanimous Decision Given in Both Contests;
Miller and- Sloan, Laird and Potwin
Make up Forensic Teams
_
A double defeat for the Univer
sity of Oregon marked the resum
ing of forensic relations with Ore
gon State college. Decisions at
l both contests held last night were
I by unanimous vote of the judges.
The question used was: "Re
solved, that world peace demands
the demobilization of all armed
forces except those needed for po
lice protection.”
The Oregon affirmatiV' m,
composed of Robert Miller Ir
rol Sloan, met a visiting m
from Corvallis, composed .e
Roy Swanson and Herbert i 5 :,
in Guild hall. ’ ^
The negative team from - i
campus met an Oregqn State §d
with the contest being broa> 8
over KOAC, Corvallis. Eu ®
Laird and Arthur Potwin re "q
sented Oregon, and Gordon W.
and Cullen Rish debated for C
gon State.
The judges for the dual debate
were: here,. Dr. G. B. Noblfe, of
Reed college, John F. Dobbs, pres
ident of Pacific university, and E.
E. Schwarztrauber, head of the
j history department at Lincoln
high in Portland; Corvallis, Oscar
Hayter, Dallas lawyer, Dean Frank
M. Erickson, and Dr. F. G. Frank
lin, both of Willamette university.
Frank Jenkins, editor of the Eu
gene Register, presided as chair
man of the local debate, and Bish
op Walter Taylor Sumner was
chairman of the Corvallis event.
The Oregon affirmative team
maintained throughout the debate
that armaments cause fear, sus
picion, hatred and distrust, and in
evitably are a cause for war,
hence, if world peace is to exist,
armaments, as one of the causes
of war, should be destroyed as one
of the obstacles in the way of
peace. It pointed out that a police
force would take care of the few
economic and political “sore spots”
in the world, and since other
armed forces no longer existed a
feeling of distrust and confidence
would be built up as a basis for
world peace.
The visiting negative team stat
ed that world peace, on the other
hand, was dependent on a world
wide state of altruism, and that
education might bring this about,
regardless of an armed situation,
and armaments would then go out
of existence naturally, as an in
stitution no longer useful.
Last night’s defeats gives the
Oregon debate squad a total for
the season thus far of three wins
and two losses, the wins being in
the contests with the University
of Hawaii, the University of Utah,
and the University of Idaho.

Two Plays Slated for This P. M.
Will End Season’s Matinee Programs
This afternoon at 4:15 will wit
ness the close of the season’s pro
gram of weekly* matinee perform
ances of studio plays, with the
presentation of. Stanley Hough
ton’s “Fancy Free,” and Lady
*•0 Gregory’s “Rising of the Moon.”
This afternoon’s program is as
interesting as any that has been
given. Both plays are comedies,
written by two of the most prom
inent of our modern playwrights.
The “Rising of the Moon” is a
comedy of Irish origin. “Fancy
Free” is a light, fanciful farce
comedy.
The casts are as followrs: “Fan
cy Free”: Delia, Inez Simmons;
Ethelbert, Barton Siegfrid; Ger
ald, Charles Gillespie; Fancy, Hel
en Mielke. The play is directed
by Sanford Platt.
“The Rising of the Moon": Ser
geant, Leslie Houston; Ballad
4 Singer, Miles Shaw; First Police
man, Ray Foss; Second Police
man, Ray Martin. The play will
be directed by Addison Brockman.
The experiment of presenting
weekly performances of well
known one-act plays was started
early this term, originally as a
means of giving members of the
classes in production practical ex
perience. Since its inauguration,
however, the scheme has passed
the experimental stage, and be
come a feature of the drama de
partment’s winter work.
A variety of plays has been
chosen for the programs, each
with a popular appeal, and the
general level of the performances,
according to critics, has been high.
Through the means of the newly
organized studio players, several
actors of promise have been dis
covered, since casting for these
plays has not been confined to
the department. The directors
have reached out for their talent,
1 and have found considerable.

Daphne Hughes was elected last
night to serve as president of Y.
W. C. A. for the ensuing year.
Lois Nelson was elected vice-pres

“More than twice as many peo
ple voted yesterday in the Y. W.
elections than at any previous
election,” explained Miss Thomas.
The installation of the new of
ficers will take place the first
week of spring term. The formal
annual membership banquet, at
which all new cabinet members
will be introduced, will take place
the second week in spring term.
During the week-end of April
IX, 12, and 13, all of the cabinet

Group Meets at
Annual Banquet
Oregon Knights To Hold
Last Meeting of Term
More than twenty-five members
'of the Oregon Knights, service or
ganization on the campus for
sophomore men, gathered last
night at the Anchorage for the
group’s annual banquet. Gilman
Ryder, freshman Knight, was in
| charge of the affair.
The banquet served as a final
! meeting of the term. Karl Greve,
; duke of the Knights, thanked the
men for their work and coopera
I tion during the basketball season
| just past and made a plea for con
I tinued good work during the cora
I ing term.
The banquet was informal and
ko speeches were on the program.
Grade System
Accepted With
One Addition
Joint Committees Pass on
Plan of Change in
Figuring List
UNFAIR RATE FEARED
Status of Group Members
- Must Pass Through
Dean’s Office
Advocated changes in the sys
tem of figuring the grade list
were passed upon by the heads of
houses in a meeting held yester
day.
But for one exception the rec
ommendations made by the joint
committee from interfraternity
council and heads of houses were
accepted as they were orginally
compiled.
Amendment Added
The amendment added by heads
of houses was likewise brought jup
in the meeting of interfraternity
council last Thursday. It was felt
that some arrangement must he
made for the possibility of a loop
hole being created by the change
regarding the listing of members
as active and inactive. A house
whose members were making very
poor grades might be tempted to
declare these members inactive
and hence not allow a fair rating
of the various organizations.
To prevent any such act, heads
of houses recommended that tl>e
list of active and inactive mem
bers of a group be passed through
the dean of men’s or the dean of
women’s office, and that each
group present adequate reasons
for the affiliate’s status.
Revisions Listed
The revisions as passed on by
both organizations were as fol
low:
1. Pledges and members of
houses living in dormitories shall
Hot be considered members 6f the
dormitories.
2; Members of houses shall in
clude active members and pledges
and affiliated transfers.
3. Grades of law students, fifth
year architecture students, and
graduate students shall not be
counted.
4. No student shall be excluded
qn the ground that he is carrying
less than the normal number of
hours.
5. Honor grades shall be weight
ed as follows: honors I, 7 points;
honors II, 6 points; honors III,
5 points.
6. (a) Any student who re
ceives a grade of incomplete in
<5ne*llalf or more of his hours
shall not be counted on the grade
list.
(b) Incompletes in less than
one-half the hours must be made
up within one month after the
beginning of the term, otherwise
to count as hours not earned.
7. The list of membership is to
be filed in the offices of the deans
of men find women the day before
final examinations each term.
Oregon Women to
Debate Tonight
Willamette Varsity To Be
Opposing Team
Elizabeth Painton, sophomore in
journalism, and Bernice Conoly,
sophomore In history, will repre
sent the University of Oregon,
this evening, by upholding the af
firmative against the women’s
negative varsity debate team of
Willamette university.
Dean Virginia Judy Esterly will
preside as chairman at the debate,
which will be held in 105 Com
merce building, at 7:45. Prof.
Alvin O’Konsky, of the public
speaking department at Oregon
State college, will act as critic
judge at the debate.
The question to be discussed
will be the same used at previous
women’s debates this year—Re
solved: That the modern diversion
of women from the home to busi
ness and industrial occupations is
detrimental to society.
This debate promises to be in
tensely interesting and owing to
the nature of the topic should be
of a great deal of interest to
women students on the campus.
Four Students
Are Disciplined
By Suspension
SUSPENSION for the re
^ mainder of the academic
year was the punishment meted
out to four University men, all
residents in one unit of the new
men's dormitory, for the of
fense of having liquor in their
possession and serving it in
public. The student advisory I
committee decided on the pen
alty in a long session Wednes
day afternoon.
Two other students who were
involved indirectly were exon
erated by the committee be
cause of the slight degree to
which they were responsible.
The suspension of the four
men holds until June 15, after
which time they may re-enter
the University, either at sum
mer session or next fall term.

Activity at Range
Ends for Term
Ammunition Supply Said
To Be Defective
The rifle range at the R. O.
T. C. barracks has been closed
until further notice, which will be
at least for the duration of this
term and probably longer, Major
Frederick A. Barker, head of the
military department, announced
yesterday.
The reason for this action, Ma
jor Barker stated, is that the pres
ent issue of ammunition has been
found defective and dangerous to
use. Although no serious acci
dents hav§ occurred so far, some
of the men who have been firing
have met with irfinor injuries. In
order to avoid anything worse, it
was decided that no more firing
should be allowed.
The range will not be opened
until the present ammunition can
be officially condemned, and new
supplies are issued by the govern
ment. ,

Week-End Will
Show Profits,
Says Paddock
Junior Vodvil Will Cost
More Than Any Other
Of the Events
TOTAL TO CLEAR $460
Canoe Fete Expense $600;
Campus Luncheon Will
Have Deficit
Final budget estimates for the
annual Junior Week-end activities
Have been, worked out and will
Hal Paddock
soon ue luiucu
over to the indi
vidual commit
tee chairmen of
the directorate,
according to an
announc e m e n t
made Wednesday
by Hal Paddock,
chairman of the
finance commit
tee. From pres
ent indications
the event should
flnnnoinl
success, according to Paddock,
with the profit estimate set at
$460.
As usual the profits from the
annual Junior Vodvil are expected
to be the largest single income
source on the list of events. The
show is "planned to be the largest
and most pretentious ever held on
the campus. The Canoe Fete is
also expected to show a surplus
but the other miscellaneous events
are expected to exhibit a small
loss.
Prom Cost $650
Paddock predicts that Junior
Prom will break even in financial
matters, with the huge dance ex
pected to cost approximately
$650.
Some idea of the large scale
production intended for the Junior
Vodvil may be obtained when it is
realized that it will cost more
than the combined other events.
The rent of the theatre will be
the largest single item but it is
planned to spend almost $300 for
the stage sets. The music, cos
tume, and cosmetic expenses will
swell the cost another $500.
Good Luncheon Promised
The gross income from the Canoe
Fete is expected to amount to
$800, with the costs amounting to
$600, leaving an estimated net
profit of $200. Campus day,
Mother’s day, campus luncheon,
water carnival, and miscellaneous
events will cost $340, with net in
come estimated at $300, leaving a
$40 deficit.
The annual campus luncheon
will be better than it has ever
been, according to Paddock. There
will be plenty of food for every
body and it will be of the highest
quality.

PUBLICATIONS PAY . . .
5TH-YEAR SCOPE WIDE . .
-By OLIVER POLITICUS
To supplant an unconstitutional
method of procedure, the publica
tions sub-committee and general
constitutional revision committee
has approved changes setting def
inite minimum salaries for editors
and managers of both the Emerald
and Oregana. After those mini
mum salaries are paid, the execu
tive council Is given the power to
set additional pay as it sees fit.
* * *
The old constitution and by
laws set compensation on a
profits basis. When that docu
ment fell into disuse through
faulty wording, the council took
upon itself, perhaps as a tem
porary expedient, the power of
setting the sums paid. It was
generally considered by the edi
tors and managers of the publi
cations that they should not be
subject to a pocket-book threat
of the executive council.
* * *
Passing through a hotly con
tested session of the regular pub
lications committee, this agree
ment was reached. The editor
and business manager of the Em
erald shall each receive a mini
mum of $400. For several years
the pay has been $200 more. Any
amount above the surplus shall be
fixed by the executive council.
The Oregana officers shall each
receive a minimum of $150, and
shall share in any profits until
they shall «aph receive a total of
$300, after which sum a small per
centage is fixed as a goal for fur
ther profits for the A. S. U. O.
* * *
Save for the new measure of
insuring at least $100 each to the
managing editor and advertising
manager of the Emerald, no
other changes were made ex
cept in changed wording and
placing of articles.
One problem to be settled if the
fifth-year status is changed to an
approved standing, is candidacy
for editorial or managerial office.
Whether there is to be consisten
cy in elective and appointive of
fices depends on the policy ap
proved in the other articles.

French Play Will Be Unusual
********
‘Leopold, Le Bien-Aime’ Good Comedy
By BOB GUILD
It’s a wise producer that knows
his own play. . . . And what I
didn’t learn about “Leopold"!
"Leopold” is the French play to
be given Friday and Saturday
nights at Guild hall. All I had to
do was mention the name, and I
was buried under an avalanche of
waving arms and excited French
vowels, that bumped and batoged
all around me. . . . Once in a while
the cast spoke English, and this
is what I found out.
That "Leopold” is a very un
usual play, and this is the reason
why:
In 1925 its author, Jean Sar
ment, offered it to the Comedie’
Francaise’, one of Europe’s two
leading playhouses. They turned
it down, and somehow or other
the author went ahead and cast
it, and presented it in the Theatre
Comedie’ des Champs Elysees,
where tt was a tremendous suc
cess, and ran for two years.
This sounds like a fairy story,
or the plot of a movie, and one
might almost think it was one,
were it not explained very nicely
by the leading French critic. . . .
This is what fie said:
‘Me veux bien que ces pecheurs
a la ligne du premier acte, ce
cadre provincial aient pu fair
craindre a quelques societaires que
‘Leopold le Blen-Aime’ parut de
place dans leur salon (Comedie
Francais) ou tronent les belles
dames du grand siecle. . . .”
Now isn’t that lovely? But
then that’s the way of it.
And Louis Myers, who is direct
ing the play, and who, it is said,
knows his French plays, says it
will be just like that Friday and
Saturday nights.
