They declare that any continuity, such as the musical comedy plan of the present, necessitates much re hearsing, resulting in a waste of the participant’s time. The al leged levity at former vodvil re hearsal was also attacked. Many Concessions Made A statement drawn up by vod vil officials containing every con cession possible to still allow the staging of this year’s show will be presented to the student af fairs committee today, Hall de clared.

All-night rehearsals at the Heilig theater will be discontinued, one morning practice between the hours of 8 and 12 being substi tuted. 2.

Women Archers Use Valuable Bows; Oregon Yew Wood Best By BETH SAL WAY “The women's department of physical education owns bows for archery that are 60 years old, and ranging in value from $17 to $150. They are made from yew wood found in the high Cascades, the only standing supply now left in the entire world,” said Miss Har riett Thomson, coach of archery for women. “The ordinary life of a good bow is 200 years, subject to accidents, of course. If the bow remains straight at the end of a season of use, its value increases about $20. “The yew from which the best bows are made are very tall, and straight-grained. The supply of yew in Spain has been exhausted, leaving only that in the high Cas cades standing, of the world’s yew wood. W. M. Everingham, of Cot tage Grove, makes bows, arrows, and fishing rods for a living, and he is a true artist. He chooses his materials with great care, and cures the yew for at least two years before beginning work. “Arrows are many times harder to make than the bows, and a good set of arrows are worth consider able money. The arrows must be perfectly balanced, and the feath ers set at the correct angle.’’ “Archery is enjoying a revival in the east, and in Washington, (Continued on Page Three) Divot Diggers Prepare for Opening Emerald Spring Handicap Tourney; l Plan Cup for Winners in Each Flight Three days remain for men and women to enter the Emerald’s spring handicap golf tournament.

Participants will be placed in flights according to their qualify ing scores and will be given a handicap for the match play. The 16 lowest scorers will be in the championship flight and the win ner of this group will be declared the best player in the tournament. The matches will furnish the first opportunity for feminine golf ers to compete in a campus tour nament. Persons entering the Emerald's divot-digging competition will have the use of the Eugene Coun try club any time except Sunday mornings. The green fee tickets which have been reduced one-half in price may be obtained at either the men's or women's physical ed ucation offices.

The voter must have registered in his county before April 15, as the books close on that date. He must then make an application for a ballot to the county clerk after the 30th day preceding the elec tion, and must return the ballot at least ten days before the elec tion so that it may be in the hands of the clerk six days before the vote is taken. The Portland League of Women Voters is carrying on an extensive campaign to get a fuller registra tion before the primaries which are on April 15, says an announce ment from the president’s office today. The above law does not apply to students who have already reg istered in their precincts in Eu gene.

The Kemp prize fellowship is an nually competed for by geology students through the United States, including the 30 or 40 in the Columbia school of geology. For three consecutive years, Oregon students have won fel lowships to Columbia. Eugene Calaghan and Don Frazer each won a fellowship to the eastern school, although that received by Butler is the greatest honor of the three, Dr. Hodge said.

Williams, executive secretary of the League for Inde pendent Political Action, a nation wide educational organization, will speak tonight on the subject, “Wanted: A New Alignment in American Politics,” in Villard hall at 7:30. The League for Independent Po litical Action is a national organi zation similar to the Fabian so ciety in England which afterward grew into the present Labor party. John Dewey, well-known educator, is the chairman of the national committee, and some of the best known educational figures in the United States are other officers. The members of this league feel that there is no real conflict of ideas in the present parties. Mr. Williams was also promi nent in the Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota, and at one time ran for the mayoralty of St. Paul. The local group of the league, which is composed of students and townspeople, has secured Mr. Wil liams to talk on the campus to night. To Probe House Grading System Committee To Talk Plans For New Way of Rating The University personnel coun cil appointed at its last meeting a special sub-committee to consider the house grading system. Dr. Howard R. Taylor, associate pro fessor of psychology; Earl M. Pal lett, registrar; and Dean John F. Bovard, of the school of physical education are the members of the sub-committee, with Dr. Taylor acting as chairman. The purpose of the group, ac cording to Dr. Taylor, is to inves tigate the merits and demerits of the present house rating system, and to find, if possible, a new and better system that would be plau sible. The group in a final report will recommend the simplest, most easily computed, and fairest system it is able to find. New System Started For Women’s Tennis In an effort to produce keener competition, a new system will be inaugurated in women's intramur al tennis this year.

W. S. elections, were merely more lively than us ual. And then came a jolt, that set femmes buzzing and humming— and created, for a time, one of the most unusual situations ever to come up in Women’s league elec tions. That jolt was the nomination, by Diana Deininger from the floor of the mass meeting at Villard hall, of Dorothy Kirk for presi dent. About two hours after the meet ing Helen Peters, president, an nounced that Miss Kirk had de clined the nomination. Coming as an abrupt surprise to her, Miss Kirk did not decline immediately, it was explained. No upset in the race between Margaret Cummings and Bess Templeton had been expected and prospect of a three-party contest created for awhile, some excite ment. Elections will be held today in front of the old library from 9 to 5 o’clock, with Bernice Woodard, retiring sergeant - at - arms in charge. Gracia Haggerty is running alone for vice-president, following the withdrawal of Reba Brogdon who will run for senior woman. Lucile Catlin and Ann Baum will contest for secretary and Helen Chaney and Juanita Kilborn for treasurer. The quartet of frosh lined up for sergeant-at-arms are Jean Whitney, Eileen McIntyre, Margaret Luce, and Virginia Pat terson; Betty Ann Macduff and Louise Smith are running for re porter. Dean Virginia Judy Esterly and Helen Peters have urged every woman on the campus to vote to day.

At next week’s meeting, the American penal system will be discussed with John King intro ducing the subject. Figures Shatter Feminine Theory Co-eds Prove Reliability As Grade-getters Ancient saws and modern wise cracks to the contrary notwith standing, women, as exemplified by University of Oregon co-eds, are not less predictable than men, but slightly more so. Figures released yesterday by Dr. Howard R. Taylor, director of the personnel bureau, show that both during rush week and after a term or more of college, the bureeau can dope out the future grades of women students a lit tle more accurately than those of men. Frosli Debaters Take Match From Albany’s Varsity Cecil Espy and Gordon Day Win Close Contest by Margin of One Roy Craft and Joel Rooth Go to Albany The freshman men’s negative debate team defeated the Albany college varsity in a dual debate held in 105 Commerce building at 8 o’clock last night. The Oregon debaters were Cecil Espy and Gor don Day. James Hendrickson and S. E. Harris represented Albany. The question for debate was, “Resolved: That the nations of the world should adopt a plan of com plete disarmament except for such forces necessary for police protec tion.’’ Waldo Schumacher, professor of political science, acted as critic judge. In summing up his criti cism, he said: “The burden of proof lies upon the affirmative. Upon this basis I give my decision to the negative.” “A scheme of disarmament is Utopian,” said Gordon Day, second negative speaker. “When we have reached this state, disarmament will be unnecessary, it will already be an accomplished fact.” Oregon’s affirmative team com posed of Joel Booth and Roy Craft traveled to Albany last night to meet their varsity negative team. The results of this debate have not. yet been received.
