Bryan Reveals Platform “My slogan will be ‘vote for the individual instead of the ticket.’ I believe that the best candidates for the various offices are divided between the two tickets in the field, and I think that the students who have the interests of the stu dent body at heart will vote for the candidates whom they believe to be best qualified for the jobs, regardless of their party or ticket affiliations.” Political observers predict that Eryan's next step will be to pub licly endorse certain other candi dates for the various offices, and that those recommended to the voters by him will be from both Hal Johnson’s and Chuck Laird’s tickets. According to Bryan, “individual politics” will enable each candi date to present his own platform. Selfish Rivalries Scored “It is regrettable that platforms have played so little part in our politics heretofore,” he declared. “The really important issues of the policies of the rival candidates have been hidden under a maze of personal, party and house rival ries. “I am much in favor of the idea of having the presidential candi dates present their platforms in person at the nominating assem bly. This is the only way the ma jority of the students can judge the candidates on a basis of their abilities. Personally, I am willing at any time to present my plat form to any group which requests it.” Many Books Missing From English Reserve Many books have recently been lost from the English reserve library. Some of these have mreely been misplaced by careless students but in other cases ficti tious names have been signed. These are being traced and severe penalties will be imposed on those found guilty by the discipline com mittee as the taking of a book from the library is a serious of fense. Have You Registered ? EDITORIAL A RE you going io vote in tlie primary elections for gov ernor in May? If so, have you registered? It is the duty of every student, registered or not, to take an interest in the affairs of his state government. If you have not already registered, today is the final chance. The county clerk's office will close its books at 9 o’clock this morning. The gubernatorial race this year is especially interest ing to Oregon students because of the fact that the sons of two prominent Republican candidates. Charles Hall and A. \V. Norblad, are students at the University and also because Ed Hailey, Democratic candidate, is a former football star here and has been active in alumni affairs. Other aspirants include 11. H. Corbett, George \V. Joseph, J. E. Bennett, John A. Jeffrey. George Wilbur, A. C. Hough, and E. S. Piper. If you have not changed residence in the past two years and have been registered, you are still registered. Cards sent out recently men ""nounced the change in precinct. New voters.and old or io were registered in some other town have until 9 this ing to get on the voters’ books. Businesses for g Social Good $ © l Economic § d - 5 Clarence Senior 2 tvs How Uneniployi Is Fought Against Stated Case Where 2000 Sought 20 Posts “Unemployment and old age in security are two things against which people are fighting -today,” Clarence Senior, executive secre tary of the socialist party, said last night in a talk to the Indus trial Study Group of the Y. W. C. A. at its meeting in the bungalwo. There are four kinds of unem ployment, according to Mr. Sen ior—seasonal, which is easiest remedied; cyclical; machine un employment; and age unemploy ment. In the city of Chicago alone, the speaker announced that he had seen 2,000 people apply for 20 jobs in a Sears-Roebuck store. “Unemployment will not be solved until business is run for social good, and not individual profit,” he declared, "and the only things which can be done to remedy this situation are: the taking of an un employment census; petting up employment exchan g e s; long range planting of public works; unemployment insurance; and the reduction of labor hours, from eight to six hours a day. Working Age Reduced As for that current problem of old age pensions, Mr. Senior an nounced that it is practically im possible for a man over fifty to compete in the highly specialized industries today, and private in dustrial pension have reduced the working age of men until they now must retire soon after fifty years. Plan Adopted The greatest solution for this problem will be a non-contributory plan of pension which provides that the state bear the burden through taxation. Ten states in the union have adopted that plan to date, and many more are con sidering it, Mr. Senior averred. Clarence Senior is making a tour of the west in the interests of the League of Industrial Democracy, although his headquarters are in Chicago. Knave of Hearts, Toy Soldier, and Teddy Bear W ill Cavort in Children’s Plays at Guild Theater on Saturday I \ By CAROL HURLBURT Did he steal the queen's heart, too? That’s the question we are ask ing about the Knave of Hearts, "who stole those tarts and with them ran away.” This nice, byt naughty, ques tion will be answered in the an nual children's play, “The Knave of Hearts,” by Louis Saunders, which will be presented Saturday, May 17, at Guild theatre by the class in dramatic interpretation. At the same time, this class will also present, "The Toy Soldier,” by Dorothy Holloway, a dramati zation of the Hans Christian An derson fairy tale. You remember which one it was; the one where the steadfast soldier fell in love with the crisp paper lady, but when the window was left open, the wind came in with great gusts and blew them both into the fireplace. Last year the children’s play was “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” with Loleta Jaeger, as the princess, Bob Guild as Prince Charming, and Nancy Thielsen as the wicked queen. Both of these plays are being directed by Cecil E. Matson, as sistant in the drama division. Mr. Matson says of the plays, “Although they are being planned primarily for the smaller school ! children of Eugene, college stu j dents will doubtless find them di verting. “Teddy bears, tin soldiers, a Raggedy Ann dolls, a wicked gol j liwog, and many other interesting characters romp through “The Toy Soldier" and make it one of the most original plays of its kind. It was produced by the Portland Jun j ior league during Lenten season The scene of “The Knave oi (Continued on Page Two) Mrs. Underwood And Roy Bryson To Be in Concerts Pianist To Play at Music Auditorium on Next Wednesday Bryson To Sing Thursday At 8:15 o’Clock Marking appearance of both Aurora Potter Underwood, pianist, and Roy Bryson, baritone, in re cital, this week glows with par ticular music interest. Mrs. Underwood will be heard Wednesday night at 8:15 o’clock and Mr. Bryson will sing the fol lowing night at the same hour. Both recitals are to be given at th auditorium of the school of mu sic where both are faculty mem bers. Mrs. Underwood Alum Mrs. Underwood is a University of Oregon graduate, finishing here in 1921. She studied with Jane Thacher. Later she went to New York, working for a year with Ethel Newcomb and Edwin Hughes, both Leschetizky pupils. In the summer of 1925 Mrs. Un derwood studied in Fontainbleau with Philippe. She became inter ested in modern French music, some of which she will play on her Wednesday program. Since about 1922 Mrs. Under wood has been piano instructor here and during her years in the University she was associated with the faculty for three years. Her work has been highly praised in previous Eugene appearances. Bryson Wins Praise Mrs. Bryson’s former recital ap pearances have won for him the plaudits of a number of critics. “He beyond doubt possesses the best male voice on the campus. His voice has a carrying quality, pow er, and smoothness of expression . . . wideness of range, which are remarkable,” said one Emerald re viewer. “He has a splendid tenor voice, under perfect control, singing with a sweetness and joyousness that is a delight to every hearer,” said the Oregonian, commenting on one of his appearances in Portland. Mr. Bryson is assistant director, of the polyphonic choir, and head of vespers for the Univefsity in addition to his position as voice instructor. Civil War Styles Are Shown at Libe Godey’s Lady’s Book Is On Display What the well-dressed women wore during the Civil war period may be seen from the exhibit in the main library. Since the thoughts of the co-ed are turning to the new spring styles, it will be ! noticed that puff sleeves, long skirts, and ruffles were the cor rect thing in the ’50’s and ’60’s as i well as in the spring of 1930. Colored illustrations from "‘Go I dey’s Lady Book” and “Peter son’s” are in the display under the | title, “Les Modes Parisiennes.” These two magazines might be called the ancestors of the Lad ies Home Journal. This is the first of a series ol exhibits which will be placed ir the showcase during spring term ) the exhibit being changed ever) two weeks. Oregana Now Prepared For Distribution 250 Copies Are Delivered; Will Be Given Out May 1 EAST INDIAN MOTIF Book Is Praised by Those Who Have Seen It; No Ads With 250 copies of the 1930 Ote gana delivered today to the Uni versity of Oregon, and with dis tribution day 4or L. McDonald | the campus ad jvanced by Lestjer jMcDonald, editor, I to May 1, the | staff of the 1930 ! year - book can well feel that its task for the year is finished when it meets Thurs day to make nominations for editor for next year. According to changes made in the system of selecting the Ore gana editor last year, the staff of the annual suggests the names of possible candidates, and these are voted upon in turn by the pub lications oommittee and executive council. Extra Copies Ordered Thirty extra copies of this year's book have been printed, John Nel son, business manager, reported; and it is hoped that those not having ordered an Oregana will take advantage of this chance to obtain one. Subscriptions will be received at the graduate man ager's office in the back end of Friendly hall. This year’s annual is considered by those who have seen it to be one of the finest that has been published by the associated stu dents. Carrying out an East In dian theme, it carries colorful bor ders and inserts. Turnbull Praises Book “For the amount of money pos sible to devote to the book,” George S. Turnbull, faculty ad viser, said, “this year's staff did unusually effective work. In the matter of accuracy, the minimum number of mistakes is apparent. This annual is probably more ac curate than any book that has been published within recent years. “I believe,” he continued, “that the student who purchases a 1930 Oregana will surely get his money’s worth. The art work is far above the average, and it was a real achievement to publish the book without having to solicit ad vertising and this scheme should be continued.” Alpha Delta Sigma Takes Three Men Rogers, Shenk, Fraundorf Pledged to Honorary The W. F. G. Thacher chapter of Alpha Delta Sigma, at the Uni versity, has announced the pledg ing of Raymond Rogers, sopho more in business administration; Harry Shenk, sophomore in jour nalism, and formerly connected with the Oregon Journal of Port land, and Harold Fraundorf, jun ior in journalism. According to George Weber, president of the organization, these men were elected because of their interest in advertising and their recognized outstanding abili ties in advertising work on the campus. REBEC HONORED George Rebec, dean of the grad uate school, was recently elected to the status of fellow in the I American Association for the Ad j vancement of Science. _ Pledging Problem Proves Puzzling On Many Campi; Deferred System Tried in Wide Variety of Forms (Editor's note: This is the first of a series of articles set tin;; forth the advantages and disadvantages of deferred pledg ing as found from its applieation at other universities.) , By RALPH DAVID Deferred pledging as it has been tried at various universities and colleges has hardly taken the same form at any two. The different plans in use are too numerous for a definite classification. But the three plans that stand out as the most practicable are: (1) Pledg ing deferred until spring of fresh man year; (2) pledging deferred until fall of sophomore year; or (3l pledging deferred until second quarter of freshman year. Emerald, Oregana Editors Selected Soon by Group Publications Committee To Choose Heads; Staffs To Nominate Nomination Meeting Dates Not Announced While rumblings of big political movements on the campus at large for student body officers have been heard for the past several weeks, little noise has come from the publications side of student activities—namely the Emerald and the Oregana. The main rea son for this silence, probably, is that the editor and manager posts of both are filled by appointment by the publications committee with the sanction of the execu tive council. Meetings Slated Sometime this week, as is laid down in the A. S. U. O. constitu tion, staff meetings shall be called by the editors of the yearbook and newspaper and not more than four students nominated to fill the posts next year. These nominees' names are turned over to the publications committee for consideration. The Emerald editorial staff nomination meeting will be held Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock in the editing room, it was an nounced yesterday by Art Schoeni, editor. To Make Speeches Following the procedure inaug urated last year under Arden X. Pangborn, short speeches will be made by persons putting forth the names of candidates for the editor ial post. The dates for the meetings of the business staff of the Emerald and the editorial and business staffs of the Oregana will be an nounced later. Beeson Is Appointed To Minnesota School Lewis Beeson, graduate assist ant in the history department, has just received notice of his appoint ment to a similar position at the University of Minnesota to start next fall.

A. Milne and ’’Ed ucation and the State,” by Prince L. Campbell, former president of the University, are the two books. The latter was the gift of the Uni versity Press. EMERALD SPRING HANDICAP Eugene Country Club ENTRY BLANK Name . Mail to Oregon Daily Emcra Address Phone The three forms in use, how ever, have the same general ad vantages. The fraternity has a chance to size up a man before pledging him, and at the same time the freshman has the chance to orient himself and size up the fraternity before making a defi nite choice. Use First Method The first plan of deferred pledg ing has been in use at Stanford for some time. Freshmen cannot be rushed until a specified period before the actual pledging may take place. This open period is regulated by numerous rushing rules. Several other schools have vari ations of this same plan. Pledg (Continued on rage Three) New Constitution To Be Voted on at Regular Election Date of Voting Changed Because of Clause Of Present Law Document To Be Examined By Barker Today The proposed new student body constitution, instead of coming up for the vote of the student body next Thursday, April 17, will be voted upon in conjunction with the regular student body election of officers to be held on May 1. According to Tom Stoddard, stu dent body president, the change of date has been made in order to comply with a clause of the pres ent constitution which provides that amendments to the constitu tion may be voted upon only at regular student body elections. Committee Meets To Stoddard, Dick Horn, and Ron Hubbs, who form the execu tive council of the constitutional revision committee, met in an all night session last night to com plete the documentation of the new constitution, which will be turned over today to Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the Uni versity, for criticism as the by laws of a legal corporation. Mr. Barker, before becoming connect ed with the University was one of the foremost corporation lawyers in the country. Point Comes Up An interesting point has come up in connection with the election of the new student member of the executive council, provision for whom will be made in the new constitution. Since the legality of said office is dependent upon the acceptance of the constitution at the election, candidates for it will be nominated subject to the pas sage of the constitution and their names on the ballot will be ac companied by an explanatory note stating that the office will be created if the constitution is passed. Phi Epsilon Kappa Pledges Eight Men Initiation of New Members Within Two Weeks Announcement was made yes terday of the pledging of eight i men to Phi Epsilon Kappa, nation ' al physical education honorary, by Pat Beal, vice-president of the or ganization.

Dubs and Slickers of Both Sexes Flock to Enter Emerald Golf Meet; Lists to be Kept Open Two Days So popular has the Emerald spring handicap golf tourney proved that enough entries have been turned in by men to necessi tate the opening of a third flight. Forty men have signed up to com pete in the play. Women of the golfing clan have been slow in en tering the lists for the champion ship silver cup, only six having enrolled thus far. An additional prize for the third flight of men is being lined up by Manager Faulkner Short. On account of the fact that the blanks were left out of the paper recently, the lists will be kept open for a day or two more for both men and women. Due to misunderstanding with officials of the country club the announcement in Saturday’s paper ; as to week-end playing times was in error. Week days or Saturday mornings may be used for tourna ment play, but on account of crowded conditions students may not use the course after noon on Saturday or all day Sunday. First play on the qualifying round started yesterday and all entrants must turn in their cards at the journalism building. A box will be placed in the Emerald copy-desk room where these scores must be deposited so that handi caps may be assigned. Leaving the entry lists open for several more days will probably bring in additional men contest ants so that a second flight of play will be necessary. The Co-op cup will be given the champion ship flight winner and Hender shott’s sporting goods store donat ed a golf bag for runner-up. Paul D. Green will award a cup to the first flight winner. Women will vie for the Buster Brown cup. (Continued on Page Three)
