Students Delay In Paying Fees Eleanor Houghton Is First At Cashier’s Window To Eleanor Houghton goes the honor of being the first to pay her fees. Who will be the last.

T h e whole Kappa Sigma house has been suffering from early morning insomnia for more than a week. Far too long, thought Harlow Davis, freshman. Yesterday morning he stole out of the palatial woodshed and in the modern “Itohin Hood” manner cut loose at the unfortunate marauder with both barrels of a 12-gauge shotgun. Fluttering slowly to t h e ground, the bird breathed its last, while the brthren of Kappa Sig breathed a sigh of relief. Russia Asks Aid Of Dr. Crosland On Printed Matter Soviets Want Assistance On Type To Be Used In New Plant Professor's Wide Study Makes Him Authority The government psychologist of Russia has requested the aid of Dr. H. R. Crosland, associated pro fessor of psychology, in a letter received from A. R. Luria, who holds that position under the So viet regime. The Russian government, which has taken over most of the pub lishing activities in that country, is now making an extensive study of the relative merits of different printing type, and various page sizes used in books and magazines to determine which kinds will af ford the greatest legibility. In a new government printing plant the Soviets are attempting to find the best possible methods of pub lishing reading matter from the standpoint of the readers. Dr. Crosland has been asked to contribute to this study, because of his extensive work already car ried on in this field. He has prob ably a wider knowledge on the subject than any other psycholo gist, because of his years of work on the general problem of visual perception in determining legibil ity of characters, and the relation of visual perception to the atten tion paid by the individual. Results on a study of the effec tiveness of letters in words from left to right, by Dr. Crosland, will also be contributed to the Russian study. He will give a paper on the subject at the annual meeting of the Western Psychologists asso ciation, at Los Angeles, this June.

No longer is the male the aggressive! Wonsan will step to the fore as the pur suer of the elusive man in the festivities of Senior Leap week to be » held April 24 to 26. The men will have a splendid chance to get even with the gals for making them wait; and while the women are fuming helplessly on some fraternity porch waiting for their man, he can calmly brush that moustache, fuss with his tie, and then trip down 20 minutes later and sweetly say, “Oh, I haven’t kept you waiting, have I?” But, oh, boy! will the girls get even! Dunt esk. For, remember, ? the gals do all the asking and escorting, even paying the bills; the ' men can twiddle their thumbs and pray for some girl to give them a break and ask them to dance, if the women do not deign, they are wallflowers.

Stronger Man Available Is Reason Given Large Crowd Gathers for Announcement of Party Heads TICKET GAINS POWER Surprise Reigns in Ranks Of Johnson Group At Meeting Hal Johnson retired from his candidacy for the presidency of the student body last night, and George Cherry took his place. Effected with startling rapidity and daring precision, this change of candidates on the part of the backers of the Johnson ticket was a complete surprise to the student body. Rumors that a shake-up was pending began to filter down from the powers-that-be shortly before the dinner hour, but it was not until 9:45 that public announce ment of the change was made. At that hour a crowd which packed the Kappa Kappa Gamma house to capacity heard Johnson and Cherry explain their reasons for the big change. “Not Quitter,” Johnson Says Johnson said in part, “I feel that there is a better man in the field and for that reason I wish to withdraw from the race in fa vor of George Cherry. I don’t want you to think I am a quitter. I can accept defeat as gracefully as anyone, but I don’t want to see the rest of the ticket beaten be cause of me, apd for that reason I am retiring.” Cherry then spoke, expressing confidence in the ability of his ticket to win at the polls, and stating that two more houses had joined his party since the an nouncement of the change in lead ers. Cherry Prominent Cherry is a junior in business administration. During his fresh man and sophomore years he was one of the prominent independents on the campus. Since last fall he has been a member of Phi Kappa Psi. In entering the race Cherry is making a strong bid for the large independent vote. The problem of his party is now to preserve the equality of fraternity and sorority backing which they had with the party of Chuck Laird Tuesday, when statistics compiled by the writer showed 13 houses claimed definitely by each side, with 14 “on the fence.” Much water will flow down the (Continued on Page Two) Eugene Anti-Noise Bill Not To Include University Rallies Mayor Says Proposed Law Not Aimed at Student Activities Reassurance that the “anti noise” ordinance now before the Eugene city council does not in clude the banning of student ral lies from downtown streets was given the Emerald yesterday by Mayor H. E. Wilder. The ordinance, which was tabled until next Monday, requires that owners of loudspeakers, noise makers, and musical instruments must have permits from the city recorder before they can turn them on full blast on the city streets. “That is not aimed at student rallies or noise parades at all. The students are welcomed to parade on the streets. The bill before the council was aimed to curb the ra dio and other noisy equipment which downtown merchants turn on in the morning and which blare all day and disturb office workers. Besides, I don't know whether that ordinance will even pass. It was tabled until next council/ meeting,” Mayor Wilder said.
