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.

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

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

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.

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.

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
<<TTS7HAT is the best age to get
’ ’ married? That’s a hard
question to answer,” said John H.
Mueller, associate professor of
sociology, yesterday.
“One hundred years ago it was
customary for a girl to get mar
ried from 16 yeafs old to 20.
After 20 she was on the verge of
being an old maid. Now days our
social organization prevents such
early marriages."
“College students should, I
think," said Mr. Mueller, "be mar
ried if all the conditions were
favorable. Some of our married
students are doing the best work.
Mrs. Golda C. Wickham, major in
education, made 95 points last
term, the largest possible amount
that can be made in the Univer- j
sity.” j
Mr. Mueller pointed out that the
graduate schools have already
commenced to consider the prob
lem. He thinks people should not
be married unless economically in
dependent.
Economic worry becomes one of
the sources of family tension.
Early marriages among college
students would solve many of the
problems of companionship. It
would more or less stabilize our
institutions of recreation.
“I couldn’t counsel anyone to
get married until they are econom
ically independent,” said Mr. Muel
ler. “To be an authority on a
subject infers the assumption of
other people taking your opinion
on it. I do not pose as an author
ity. As a matter of fact, you see,
I am not married.”

Spring Fever
Seizes Victims
Among Students
SPRING, spring, the loveliest
k and laziest time of the sea
son has arrived just in advance
of the exams on the campus,
heralded by the breeze with a
soft caressing quality, swelling
buds and warming waters of
the race. Students in rolled
up sleeves and gay soft suits
loll in the warm sun, sit idly
on the library step, and hatless
girls trail their fingers in the
rushing water from canoes.
Two women were swimming
yesterday. B-r-r-r, there is
too much nip from winter in
that water yet. They didn’t
stay in long.
Spring has tiptoed in the
night across the campus and
left behind her a trail of sweet
ness and beauty.

Co-operation
Seen as Need
By Geologist
Losses in Russia Laid to
Lack of Trade With
Other Countries
Intense Naturalization
■ Hinders Accord
By MERLIN BLAIS
"The United States of Europe is
an absolute economic necessity,”
Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, of the geol
ogy department, believes. Dr.
Hodge, who recently returned
from an extensive world tour,
which included Asia, Africa an
Europe, was able to see condition
in Europe as they exist.
Dr. Hodge is inclined, from his
position as a geologist, to weigh
problems according to material
data, and he discusses the pro
posed United States of Europe in
terms of national resources, and
disregards entirely the usr >
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

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.
