Dean Virginia Judy Esterly, in speaking of the high quality of the evening’s entertainment, stated: “This is one of the finest April Frolic programs that I have wit nessed during my seven years here in the University.” Each class attempted to outdo j each other in presentation, but the I juniors, who had exerted every power to make their stunt a wor thy one, ranked just a bit higher in excellence, beauty, and training, I and came off victorious with the j coveted silver cup in their posses I sion. Dean Esterly awarded the priz es and spoke of each stunt with enthusiasm. “The freshmen, in their ‘Window Shoping’ idea, presented what was perhaps the most original stunt of the four. The sophomore act was held together well by the bell-hop chorus, and was a good take-off on callege life.” “The seniors gave good comedy to the onlookers. Florence Mc Nerney was especially good in her portrayal of the freshman. Then the juniors—they undoubtedly showed excellence from start to finish. The setting was good, there was great beauty in costume, and they showed careful training. Fur thermore, the juniors chose the best material from the class and presented it to the audience ser if e first prize for the best cos ti was won by Jennie Piluso, J ta Demmer, Frances Saie, O ,§ Sadilek, Virginia Wentz, and A C Homback, who were dressed in -ty overalls and slouch hats ai ® -epresented the members of th £ ection gang.

'But Grandma, What Sharp Eyes You Have’-Riding Hood By A MERE MAN The people who run the April Frolic are pretty punk business men, I can tell you that. Why, if they keep on doing the things I saw them do Saturday night, there soon won't be anyone on the campus who will go to their old show. I'll just tell you as best I can how I saw them treat one cus tomer. She was an old, old woman and she came limping along, her stick tapping merrily on the pavement. I guess her shoes were awfully tight from the way she limped; in fact, I happen to know they were. This white-haired old hag with long black skirts and white shawl about her shoulders approached the door of the woman’s building and went in. Scarcely had she taken a step inside before a husky dame grabbed a paddle and plant ed herself in front of the poor old soul. Dear old granny looked sur prised but said nothing and, fum bling around, got out her 15 cents. ^ The doorkeeper took the money, but instead of being courteous to this feeble old lady she continued to block her way and demanded in a loud rude voice, “Who are you?” Now that, in my mind, was a dumb question. Why, anyone could see that it was just an old, old woman who was paying a hard earned 15 cents to enjoy the April Frolic. Why, I'll bet she would have bought a popcorn ball, too, even if her front teeth were miss ing. Evidently the old lady didn’t hear very well, for she hesitated and raised her hand to her ear and said in a very hoarse voice, “Huh." And that is as far as she got. Why, that rough-looking girl with the paddle called another bigger and tougher- looking one and they told the old granny she had to get out. Then a cop came along and said he thought the dear old soul had better go, too. Now, what do you think of that for a way to treat customers? I’ll bet they were bootleggers and were afraid the old lady was a prohi. But then, men are not wanted at the April Frolic and my hands gave me away.

Solves Problem By Having Transition Cover Four Year Space (Editor’s note: This is the fourth of a series of articles giving the principle arguments for and against the deferred pledging system in order to mir ror the degree of success it has reached at universities where it is now in use.) By RALPH DAVID “The disadvantages of the de ferred pledging system will nec essarily vary according to the school. The first criticism is that the system after once in opera tion, would place the fraternities under a financial strain. This should not be true if there are in the school a sufficient number of men of fraternity material in the upper three classes to more than fill the chapters of all the.fratern ities upon the campus. If there are not, this disadvantage is ser ious.” Objections Answered The above statement, contained in the report of the committee on the deferred pledging investiga tion of the interfraternity council last year, sets forth in a fair way the conditions under which de ferred pledging might cause no fi nancial embarrassment to the fra ternities. If there are enough men in the upper three classes on the campus who can afford to join a fraternity, who find after a period in the university that they want to join a fraternity, or also, the fraternity wants to admit to mem bership, then the first objection to the installation of deferred pledg ing is answered. As a recent editorial in the Michigan Daily, the University of Michigan student paper, says, un less there are enough men it would mean “that many fraterni ties, particularly the smaller and younger ones,. would have to op erate at .a loss for several years or surrender their charters.

At last—the great annual auction sale of the Associated Women Stu dents. Wednesday is the great day.

Here’s your big opportunity to buy a birthday present for your gal, or for that matter, for your gals, for there will be an unlimit ed assortment of compacts, um brellas, notebooks, fountain pens —anything you like. And the prices. Ah, that’s where you come in. Pass anything you wish, with one but. But don't let the other guy bid higher. Bill Knox as chief auctioneer will hold forth on the steps of the old libe. “There are at least a mil lion umbrellas, thousands of com pacts, and as for 'fountain pens— well, you know how many have been lost this year,” he confided last night. Four Donut Contests Scheduled for Today Rain again put a damper on the two intramural baseball contests scheduled yesterday.

Nominations Set With New Offices Open Thursday Meeting To See Senior Man Try for Council YELL KING OFF LIST Limit Set on Speech Time; Nominees Not To Talk To Assembly Call for nominations Thursday morning in Gerlinger hall at 11 o'clock will bring voices clamoring for recognition for a new officer— senior executive man—while there will be no bidders for yell leider. At the time of nominations there will be no official provision for that senior executive man, latest addition to the executive council, nor will the office of yell leader have yet been stricken from the lists. Three of the offices will be new in name. Six on List Candidates for offices, those named in the new constitution to be voted on at the time of regular elections, will be six: president, vice-president, secretary, senior executive woman, senior executive man, and junior finance man. Un der provision of the new docu ment, now complete, the yell i leader will be appointed in a sys tem of election similar to that now employed for managers. The senior executive man, who takes the position left vacant in the executive council by a faculty man to be displaced, will be a member of several council sub committees. The move for stu dent majority in the council will be carried further, with student majority in the committees. Senior Man Newest [ Since, if the constitutional change carries, there will be no elective yell leader, and in his place on the ballot will be the senior man,' it is expected that there will be no nominees for the first office. The senior man is final choice* of the constitutional committee for the new office after considering a sophomore member at-large, and the Em. -aid editor. Tom Stoddard, A. S. U. O. presi dent, will limit time for nomina tion speeches: for president, five minutes; for secretary and vice president, each three minutes; for the three council members, each two minutes. Candidates will not speak. Charles Jones Enters Constitution Contest Charles Jones, junior in history, will represent Oregon at the State Constitutional contest to be held soon in Corvallis. The subject chosen for this year is “Teaching Youth the Constitution.” Ghandi’s Revolt in India Doomed to Fail, Hodge Says By MERLIN BLAIS j Mahatma Ghandi's revolt of In dia is doomed to failure. That is i the opinion of Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, of the geology department, and Dr. Hodge has conversed with the world-famous would-be Hindu emancipator in his native land, and he has looked over the politi cal situation in India, first hand. . While at Agra, Or, Hodge was able to speak with Ghandl. The Hindu sat on the floor, cross-leg ged and wearing only his loin cloth, his thin, emaciated figure surmounted by a small, close shaven head with large ears. His eyes were staring, aching. He lacked enthusiasm in his venture, but he had not given up his at tempt to stir the people of India into a revolt for independence. “I heard him speak on the road side just on the outskirts of Agra, and I was surprised to find only a few hundred people in the audi ence. An accident in the streets of Agra brings a thousand people to the scene in a few minutes; so evidently the people of the city lacked enthusiasm in Ghandi’s scheme at that time,” Dr. Hodge said. “Ghandi desires to do two things for India; first, he hopes for ab solute independence for India; and second, he wishes to see In dia completely self-supporting, economically independent, in order to free it of any possible foreign entanglements. “India may secure independence, but I am certain that she would never maintain it under present circumstances. “There are a number of enemies of India that await the opportun ity to swoop down on her the mo ment she secures independence, and without difficulty they would subjugate her. She would be un able to protect herself, because of the division occurring in her popu lation. In India there are two an tagonistic groups, opposed in re ligion, customs, and racial heri tage. The larger of the two is again subdivided into the caste system, which produces non-coop erative relationships. But assum ing that they could be united, ex cepting for the smaller groups along the northern frontier, the Hindu is so physically weak, so saturated with disease, so illiter ate, and so accustomed to incom petence, that he could not ward off an invader. “Ghandi,” Dr. Hodge continued, (Continued on Page Three)
