VOLUME XXXT NUMBER 95 Many Loom AsCandidales For Election Brooks and Johnson Will Run for A. S. U. O. 4 Presidency VICE-PREXIES SCARCE Hall, Tussing, Van Dine Are Contenders for Emerald Post By DAVID WILSON A ring has been drawn around Thursday, May 1, on the calendar which hangs on the wall of Tom Stoddard's office. The president of the associated students has set that day for the annual election of student body officers. It will be like “red Thursday” on the Oregon campus, and tense hostile groups will mill around the poll mg place. Another ring, this one figura tive, has been drawn on the po litical battleground. Nearly all of the students who plan to be can didates have thrown their hats into this enclosure already, but a few more hesitant ones still stand around the edge and nervously finger the brims of their derbies. Brooks and Johnson to Vie Stan Brooks, junior in law, and Hal Johnson, junior in business administration, have definitely an nounced their candidacies for president. “You may say that I will run,” said Brooks. “Yes, I am to be a candidate,” said Johnson. Chuck Laird has not as yet made up his mind v/hether he will run for president or vice-president. “I do not jknow yet which it will be,” he said. “Perhaps I will not run at all:” ^ Calvin l^ryan is another candi date who 6as been mentioned both for the presidency and the vice presidehcyi He could not be reached by pres3 time last night to make a statement regarding his plans. Two Deny Candidacy Two men reported to be candi dates for vice-president emphati cally eliminated themselves. Ken Curry said, “I haven’t the slightest intention of running.” Hal Paddock said, “There is no truth in the report that I am a candidate.” Phyllis van Kimmell did not deny that she is a candidate for secretary. At present, no com petitors have appeared, but there will undoubtedly be one or twe before the political pot boils over Plarriett Kibbee said, “I think I am to be a candidate for senior woman.” Gladys Clausen was not so sure “If I run, it will be for senior woman,” she confided. ^ Omar “Slug” Palmer was reti cent at first, but broke down un der the strain and admitted that he would run for junior man. No other names for this position have been mentioned prominently, but Palmer will undoubtedly have some competition.

Dean Asks Students To Fill In Blanks ^LL students who have not been reached through or 1 ganizations or classes are re quested to go to the personnel office in Johnson hall and fill out the student questionnaires for the survey being made by the government. In order to make the surveys of some value, every student in the University should fill out one of the questionnaires, ac cording to Dean James H. Gil bert, clean of the college of lit erature, science, and the arts. The survey is being conducted by the United States bureau of education and includes the en tire nation in its scope.

Oregon Pamphlet Praised by News Bulletin by Oregon Men Valued in Industry Hardwood Headquarters News, a publication devoted to the inter ests of hardwood enterprises, printed in one of its recent issues, an article about the recent Uni versity of Oregon bulletin, written by William A. Fowler and Ronald Robnett, ‘'Oregon Hardwoods In dustries.” The magazine said: “Congratu lations are due the Eureau of Business Research of the Univer sity of Oregon upon the publica tion of the bulletin, 'Oregon Hard woods Industries,’ which is the re sult of a survey and study that was wide in its scope. The book should prove of tremendous value to the lumbering industry of the Pacific Coast due to its compre hensive and unusually informative treatment.” Onthank Will Return To Campus on April 3 Reporting that his work at Stanford university is rapidly be ing completed, Karl W. Onthank, executive secretary of the Univer sity, wrote to the president’s office yesterday that he expects to be back on the campus April 3 ready to start work at his desk.

Journalist of Germany W ill Talk Tonight League of Nations Talk is Slated at Villard Hall at 8 p. in. TO SPEAK ON LEAGUE Ho eneva Tribunal Does rk to be Told by | err VonDewall Re] 0 nting the League of Na tions §£> ciation which is sending him c speaking tour of the United ^ ates, Herr Wolf von Dewall 3 dsiting the campus to day, ai t 8 o’clock tonight in Villard —1, he will speak on phases of the organization and function of the League of Nations. Mr. Dewall, who is nationally known for his work as editorial writer for the Frankfurter Zei tung, famous German newspaper, has been in touch with the work of the league for several years, and is said to have a broad under standing of its problems and func tion. Talk Said Interesting With the background furnished by the "model court” presented during International week by a group of Portlanders, Dewall’s speech, according to Dr. John R. Mez of the political science de partment, should prove very in teresting to those interested in international affairs and world peace. Dewall will discuss the possibil ities of a United States of Europe based upon economic co-operation between European countries, dip ping back into the earlier history of peace moves on the continent, as a basis for his study of the situ ation. To Mirror German Status He will also tell of the place Germany holds in peace move ments today; here, too, referring to the Kellogg pact and other peace treaties, to show that since the world war, Germany has been among the very first to accept dis armament. Germany’s relations with Poland, and effects of the Versailles treaty on this relation ship will furnish another topic of Dewall’s lecture. ‘'Dewall speaks English very flu ently and clearly,” says Dr. John R. Mez, who knew Dewall when he was Washington, D. C., corre spondent for the Frankfurter Zei tung. “He will not be hard to understand, and I cannot urge too strongly, that everyone interested turn out to hear him.” New Steel Lockers To Be Placed in Gym When men students return to their gymnasium after the holi days, they will find that new steel lockers have replaced the old wooden ones with their screen fac ings. Instead of a space 3 feet high, 12 inches deep, and 12 inches wide, in which to hang their clothes, they will have a locker 72 inches in height, 18 inches in depth, and 15 inches in width, which will accommodate their overcoats and trousers without the necessity of folding them up like mail packages. The new lockers have already arrived, and will be installed, dur ing vacation, in the main locker room of the gym and in the facul ty and physical education major locker room.

Rutherford was employed in Eu gene before leaving for the south ern city. Difference in Youth of Today Due to Science, Says Adams Student Pastor Says ‘Futile Waste of Time" to Argue Whether Modern Youth is Much Better Than Predecessor ^LL arguments as to whether the youth of today is better or worse than their predecessors were characterized by Max Adams, Presbyterian student pas tor, as “a futile waste of time," when interviewed yesterday by the Emerald. "Unfortunately, T am not ac quainted with the youth of former times,” $fr. Adams said, "but what difference there may be is due largely to the new tool that has been put into our hands. That tool is scientific method. “We did not develop it, but the generation who did develop it did not utilize it t,o the full extent of its possibilities. It is the most de vastating and constructive tool that the race has ever devised. "Ours is the first, generation that has applied the scientific method to all institutions, rela tionships, and social attitudes. The first result is devastating to social institutions and attitudes based on prejudice or whose usefulness has been outgrown. "Now is the time that every thing is being questioned and that is largely the cause of the so-called extravagance of this gen eration.” Mr. Adams said in con clusion. Sloan and Pot win Oregon Entries In Coast Contest Both Orators Are State Champions; Chances Thought Good Team Also Scheduled on Number of Debates With the entering of two state extempore speaking champions in the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Forensic conference, March 26, 27, 28, at Tucson, Arizona, Ore gon’s chances of taking the coast title in both the extempore public speaking division and in the ora torical division are unusually good, Dr. Ralph C.

Three Plays To Be Given At Guild Hall Two Comedies, Fantasy on Rill Offered Patrons Of Theatre MATSON WILL DIRECT Renee Grayee Nelson Aids With Handling of Student Aetors By BOB GUILD Local patrons of the arts should be interested in tonight's bill at the Guild hall, which is, incidental ly, the last for the season. Two comedies and a fantasy, each in one act, will be presented at the usual 8:15, to close the winter program of the players. Cecil Matson, assistant in the department, has been conducting rehearsals for the two comedies, "Saved” and "The Women Folk,” for the past several weeks, while the fantasy, “Aria Da Capo,” has been under the direction of Renee Grayee Nelson, student director. Plays Said Excellent As for the plays, they really should prove interesting. “Saved," Mr. J. W. Rogers’ con tribution to the evening, is set in a period of some eighteen years ago. It is a love story, naturally enough, told from the point of view of the woman. From the title one could almost guess the nature of the ending. The antedated cos tumes and late Victorian furniture should prove an interesting back ground to the story. • iuc v.ara in mauc up ui cua women: Sue, Eleanor Poorrnan; Minnie, Wildred Wren; Emily, Margaret Turner; Mrs. Bostwick, Betty Cook; Mrs. Saunders, Al bertina Hankey; and Zilla Bird song, Dorothy Busenbark. “Aria Da Capo” Best Known The next play, “Aria Da Capo,” by Edna St. Vincent Millay, is per haps the best known on the bill. It was done here several years ago, by a cast which included Art Gray and Dr. Ed Buchanan, who have been seen in several perform ances this year. The play is a fantasy, attempt ing to deal lightly with a very serious subject, our life. It may or may not succeed in its original purpose, but it is always interest ing. The cast is as follows: Pierrot, Bob Guild; Columbine, Elva Baker; Cothurnus, Carl Klippel; Corydon, Ethan Newman; Thyrsis, Jack Koegal. Concluding Play Modern The concluding play is “The Women Folk,” the most modern of the three; in which a young man is distracted. He is not to be blamed, for his distraction is caused by too many women . . . . (this is a platitude). The cast: Mrs. Gardiner, the dominating mother, Doralis May; Tony, the harassed young man, Kermit Stevens; the fascinating secretary (no platitude), Celene Lauterstein; Gertrude, Elizabeth Thacher; Aunt Julia, Norma Jac obs. Lucile, Helen Allen; and Dorothy, Jean Williams. All seats for this performance are selling at fifty cents in the box office in Guild hall, and all seats are reserved. Says More Traditions In Smaller Colleges Smaller colleges about the coun try are the strongholds of tradi tions, while the larger institutions situated in big cities have but few traditions, says Elmer A. Glenn, traveling secretary for Delta Up silon, who is visiting at the Sigma Pi Tau house. Mr. Glenn arrived Monday and will leave today to visit the chap ter at Oregon State. He is a resi dent of Newark, New Jersey, and a graduate of Rutgers. 4Morrij Note and Make Phi Bete’ is Adtiee of Bachelor < questions d!scu«.’ lem, such as (.ti es of the past, the racial a.iu ~ tional differences, the theories of sociologists, and the unfathoma ble intrigues of politicians. Says Cooperation Necessary "Europe cannot survive in the economic struggle that impends there results in a closer coopera tion between the different parts of the continent than has ever exist ed in the past.” “To make my statement plain,” Dr. Hodge continued, "let us start with Russia, at present, outside of any union of nations, not to mention specifically the proposed United States of Europe. Pre vious to the war, Russia was the great granary of Europe. From Russia the various countries of Europe received cheap grains to feed their hungry millions. Today Russia does not furnish the Frenchman with his four-foot long stick of bread, but on the con trary she imports grain herself from her most despised money dominating enemy, the United States. Rise in Food Price Evident “Perhaps the lack of cheap food from Russia could alone explain the fact that the cost of living in Europe has increased almost to a point where it compares with that of the United States. "On the other hand, before the war Russia was a valuable mar ket for the manufactured goods of Europe. Today Europe must seek other markets in Competition mainly with the United States, and Japan. Russia is essential to Europe, and stability in Europe cannot be expected until Russia is brought back into harmony with the rest of the continent. Free Growth Restricted “The Minette iron mines of France, and the coal fields of Al sace-Lorraine furnish another il lustration, where the lack of free dom of inter-exchange not only restricts free growth in the iron and steel industry, but puts them on a cost basis which makes both of them compete with difficulty with the same industry in the United States. "The high tariff, and tV b dary restrictions in th small areas that makes each one depan e . internal natural resources not for bare necessities, but for the raw materials needed in their in dustries. A study of the ge ■’ map of France clearly shows the separate countries an adapted to supply all of th of their indivi'b: :1 ■■■■•■; pie, bui, u, :l to supply to the etna specialized raw produ ts Free Exchange D'f,'v’’1 "The intense nationalizetlon Europe is making the free ex change of these raw products more and more difficult, producing labor depressions, an increased cost of living, and an almost hopeless in dustrial future, when faced with competition in the world markets.
