Team-Play and Arms TJRESIDENT HOOVER shoved the disarmament question into bigtime again yesterday when he told the representatives of business from more than two score nations that it would be essential to limit and reduce armaments if the world is to regain its economic strength. When he touches on this he’s getting into stuff that has been hashed and rehashed since a few brainy folk back in history figured that a better method of settling disputes might exist than war. The depression, no doubt, gives us a new and more tangible slant on the necessity of immediate action. At this meeting of the sixth biennial congress of the inter national chamber of commerce there were 1000 delegates rep resenting the larger and more “influential” nations of the world. These men are of perhaps the highest intelligence in the uni verse and still they dabble in figures on armed men and harangue over armaments. To internationally cut the costs of arms would indeed go far toward solving the confronting eco nomic problem. What these men who meet to discuss such questions need is cooperation, yet it is needless to inform them for they, them selves, are crying for it. Each realizes that individual efforts toward disarmament would bn both futile and fatal, emphasizing, if we might, the United States of America’s position. To many, this business of maintaining arms likens child’s play. They blame the leaders of the United States for not taking that first step and “of cotftWe the other nations will fol low.” As a matter of fact, the United States has taken that step and is now less heavily armed than many of its neighbors. It cannot risk further reductions. Disarmament cannot be ac complished without team-play. Even the younger generation, which knows so little of war, understands its consequences and regards peace highly. Youths of today realize the necessity of preparation when safety is so unstable. They believe the disagreement of national leaders and the futility of their peace conferences absurd, and ache for the day when they may step in and take their places among the world diplomats. After all, even leaders of today must learn to cooperate, and it cannot be forgotten that one is “never too old to learn.” "The Two-Bit System” TJECAUSE pieces-of-eight, the old Spanish dollar, could be broken into small pieces to make change, western United States is enriched in its language by the terms “two-bits” (a quarter of a dollar), “four-bits,” and "six-bits.” Now the Min nesota Daily adds a new meaning to tire old Spanish name. This is how it does it: “With five weeks of the quarter gone, midquarters are nearly over. The four-quarter system, with three quarters during the regular school, makes classes just one scries of midquarters and finals falling over each others’ heels.” The University of Min nesota student paper calls the situation “The Two-Bit System." At Oregon the Emerald has suggested that perhaps more might be gained by spending as much time on lectures and studies as on registration, between-term vacations, and examina tions. In doing so, the Emerald has likened the University to a grocer, dealing out small packages of education in a brightly colored wrapper, with the trimmings more important than the contents. The Minnesota figure is more forceful, having as it does the old Spanish meaning as well as the Daily’s newer one. The Emerald would like to adopt it for its own use. It cannot. For the University of Oregon has not four quarters in a year—it has five. A Bush on the Brink ''jpO EXIST without imagination would be to miss half the. pleasures of life. For the time-being we might think our selves a tiny bush on the brink of the mill-race. SUent we would be, but what we could tell would fill the largest of books. Ot course, as a bush, we welcome the spring because nature dresses us in our best for the parade which daily passes. Before the water below ns has reached a normal tempera ture canoes glide past us, slip out of sight around the next bend. When summer approaches students dressed in bathing suits swarm the banks and cluster about to absorb Old Sol's rays. Filled with anticipation are we at the approach of the annual canoe fete. Spectacles always thrill us and we feel so obscure as the thousands of human take their seals along the bank. Beautiful floats, some startlingly unique, pass by sis we eagerly watch. Vet many things there are of which we cannot tell. Wi forget we are a bush—but then, oh, well——. *♦*#*****##* * Well, due to the fact that * * the scribe who has been writ- * * ing this stuff for the past * * month has finally cracked * * under the strain of dodging * * his v :11 wishers and is going * * into temporary retirement, * * here we are back at the old * * peanut stand. „ * ***** ##$*#** * * * And don’t let anyone say that we haven’t courage getting back into the old harness like this.

Now in our time, the official spring j garb was either a gray or brown suit, a nice conservative tie, no hat, and a pair of modest, unas suming, 15-lb. brown brogues. In regard to shirts, those were the days before tiepins and just at the time when low-collared shirts had made their appearance draped around the adam’s apple of a few radical souls. Two-tone shoes were occasionally seen, and their ap pearance was enough to brand the owner as being either a wand bearing Algernon or else that spe cies of masculinity that culminate their post graduate; days by be coming either interior decorators or proprietors of ladies’ perfume shops. * * * White flannels were dimly recog nized as being in existence, but anyone caught wearing them would have been the subject of suspicious eye-brow raising and no small amount of investigation as to his private habits. * * * White caps were an atrocity be yond the wildest flights of imag ination and as for the aforemen tioned white linen suits—Oh, Per eival, I have just the duckiest hit of tatting to border your pillow eases with. * * * It seems that Norm Jesse is still peeved at whoever cast those eggs in the junior vodvil at him as he was attempting to gracefully die a la Chester Morris.

A Decade Ago The largest class to graduate from the University will be the June class with 171 applying for degrees. I i The Kappa Alpha Theta soror- j ity won the silver loving cup at! the April Frolic. A game with Idaho at Portland j has been made almost assured, ac cording to the graduate man ager’s office. Caps and gowns for commence ment have been the source of a great deal of discussion among the members of the senior class. “Thumbs down” seems to be the general attitude. I HOT DAYS SAY “COME” : CANOEING : SWIMMING SUN BATHING at the ANCHORAGE RACEWAY Shade ivs of a Great Event; i ! i i Flurry in Offering \ When Students Approach Polls Beginning today and tomorrow, the intriguing pastime of “go find the ticket,” or “have you a little student body card in your home?” makes its debut in the field of col legiate indoor sports. At fir.st the pestilence will spread slowly, then more swiftly, with more and more fervid activ ity, until the inevitable panic stage Thursday morning, when the polls will open for student body elec tions. For this spring, for the first time in history, a membership card in the A. S. U. O. must be punched for every ballot cast. The scurrying feet of eager searchers, probably the fluent lan guage of some, the cruel smiles of those who can chuckle and say. "Yeah? I’ve got mine in my pock et,” and the moans of dismay on election day of those who find themselves helpless to come to the aid of the long-cherished party, can be counted on to add to the fun of an interesting week. Plii Delta Delta Elects Officers on Saturday Amelia C. Metzen, of Eugene, was elected president of Delta chapter of Phi Delta Delta, interna tional women’s honorary legal fra ternity, at a meeting of the or ganization Saturday evening, May 2, 1931. Initiation ceremonies, fol lowed by a formal banquet at the Eugene hotel, took place the same evening. Helen Louise Crosby, of Salem, was elected vice-president, and Vir ginia Lee Roulstone, of Long Beach, California, was chosen sec retary. Delta chapter was installed at the University of Oregon law school, February 14, 1919, and numbers among its members many prominent women lawyers. Dr. Parsons Closes Discussion Meetings A series of five discussion meet ings held at the Westminster house was completed last night when Dr. P. A. Parsons, dean of the school of applied social science, led a dis cussion of the Function of Relig ion in Social Reconstruction.” Other speakers on the series were Dr. E. S. Conklin, chairman of the department of psychology, and Dr. George Rebec, dean of the graduate school. UNITED STUDENT WORK IN RELIGION IS PRAISED (Continued from Page One) Catholics, the Protestants, and the university administration. Elec tive accredited courses are offered the students. The University of California at Los Angeles has a similar plan, but has no credit for courses. Dr. Blakeman, who is nationally recognized as one of the foremost men in the field of religious edu cation for college students, divides the united organizations as they exist today into three groups: (1) a curricula centered department, such as exists at the University of Iowa; (2) activity centered asso ciations; and (3) chapel centered situations, such as are found at Princeton, Chicago, Harvard, and Stanford. This latter type pertains to distinctively independent uni versities, and not to state univer sities, however. Local Committee Wise "The local committee is acting •visely in not setting down a copied plan, but in trying to find a plan which will best meet the needs of his institution,” Dr. Blakeman said. Dr. Blakeman has been director if the Wesley Foundation of Cali fornia, organization of Methodist iniversity students, since 1925. Be :ore that he served IT years at the University of Wisconsin as univer sity pastor and director of the iVesley Foundation there. CAMPUS ♦ ALENDAR Important Iiermian meeting to day at 9:15.

PARTIES GAIN SUPPORT AS POLLING DAY NEARS (Continued from Page One) is a voting qualification will ma terially lessen the vote cast. This reformation was proposed by Oli ver Politicus (Rex Tussing) ap proximately a year ago. Its adop tion, even at this relatively late date, will do away with many of the prevalent election evils. It will not entirely eliminate illegal voting. Absent, and withdrawn, students’ cards will be used, but their use in this manner is only a form of proxy voting, and as such cannot be considered insidious. It will entirely eliminate the condi tion of last year’s election, where ^ many students went to vote only to find their ballot had already been cast for them.
