Renting the most important prob
lem confronting the student body
at the moment, is the recent ac
tion of the heads of women's
houses in declaring that sororities
will henceforth not pledge them
selves, as groups, to support any
political ticket in future student
body elections.
Two Speakers Chosen
Two speakers have been select
ed, to present both sides of the
question, Mimnaugh said, but
their names will not be divulged
before the assembly opens.
A prominent woman will pre
sent the argument of the sororities
in behalf of their no-politics edict,
and an equally prominent man
will present the opposite aspect,
using as one of his arguments the
supposition that the move would
allow secret organizations to dic
tate campus politics.
Mimnaugh will make a short
talk, introducing the topic and the
speakers.
Both Sides to be Shown

to decide the matter,” Mimnaugh
said, “but is merely to present

Graduate Assistant Work
Of Three Types Offered
Five hundred graduate posters
were issued last week, according to
Clara L. Fitch, secretary of the
graduate department. Two hun
dred and fifty have been sent to
graduate departments in universi
ties throughout the country.
Three divisions of graduate as
sistant work are offered by the
University of Oregon, which can
be taken in practically all the reg

They are teaching fellowships,
graduate assistantships and re
search assistantships.

Storeroom Fire
At Igloo Put Out
By Two Students
Gordon Fisher, Don Fields
Quench Blaze Before
City Trucks Come
The Igloo is saved!
Last night, shortly after 6 p. m.,
Gordon Fisher and Donald Fields
discovered a fire blazing merrily
away in the southwest storeroom
of McArthur court. Braving the
smoke and flames, they entered
the fireswept room and with the
aid of three chemical extinguishers
succeeded in quenching the inferno
which threatened the structure.
Fisher entered the room first,
and the thick smoke forced him to
make his way to the extinguishers
on hands and knees. Fields fol
lowed him in and assisted in put
ting out the blaze. A third ex
tinguisher was used by Fisher to
complete the job. He burned his
fingers slightly fighting the
flames.
The local fire department an
swered a phone can, but arrived on
the scene after the blaze had been
extinguished. The fire started in
a pile of rubbish in the storeroom.
According to George E. York,
superintendent of buildings, the
fire was probably caused by a
“live” cigarette being left in a
wastebasket, and igniting the rub
bish bags in the basement room.
York said the total damage will
probably not exceed $10, a burnt
door and scorched wall being the
worst injured articles.
Fisher is a sophomore in art and
Fields a freshman in journalism.
Application for Entrance
Arrives From Far East
Several applications for admis
sion to the University of Oregon
next fall have already been re
ceived by the registrar’s office. One
is from a young man in Canton,
China, and another from a young
woman in Canada.
Two of these requests for regis
tration permits were received last
week. While the applications come
rather infrequently during the
early months, by April and May
they are coming in large num
bers.
The applications are filed and
answered by Miss Edith Hollen

Oregon Women Go Over Big
With Stanford Connoisseurs
By CECIL KEESLING
Women, yo’ suttinly must o’
strutted yo’ stuff when those
Stanford debaters paid their visit
to our fair campus .... or else
they speak from hearsay.
Speaking of the Oregon co-eds,
Abe Mellinkoff, one of the debat
ers from Stanford who spoke last
Wednesday afternoon, said in th4
“Bull Session” of the Stanford
Daily for Friday, “They use more
rouge than the 500 and need it
My, my, oh my.
(Note: The famous “500” are
Stanford’s allotment of “fair” co
eds.)
Here is what he says in full, in
a telegram from our campus to his
alma mater:
“Here at the University of Ore
gon must be where film producers
get their ideas about ’rah-rah col
lege life. More women than men
make the campus co-ed conscious.
Women jam the place and with
cordiality do abound. They use
more rouge than the ’500' and need
it. Week-end lockouts here are at.
12:15, but are often unofficially
extended via open first-story sor
ority windows.
* * * >*
“They say Oregon is broke, and
yet soap is found in the men’s
washrooms at the library, which
| is more than Stanford can boast.
I Professors watch students writing
I examinations here, but general
opinion claims that cheating of
the non-flagrant variety goes on
just the same.”—Abe Mellinkoff.
Well, well. It happens that M.
Lewis Thompson and Richard
Friendlich, two well known Stan
ford journalists who attended tht
press conference here last Janu
! ary, remarked that, oh now they
wished there were more dates like
; Oregon's down at their fair cam
pus.
Yep, Oregon co-eds use more
rouge than the "500” but then
that "500” are nearly all Phi Betes
and don’t go in for our stuff.

To eliminate extensive cam
paigning by the freshman candi
dates, which may result in cor
rupt practices, the loss of a great

Fifth Leap Year Birthday
Arrives for 3 Oregon Men

Starr, Olsen, Proctor All
Observe Unique Day
In Quiet Manner
Three Oregon men were five
years old yesterday, legally speak
ing, although by actual count they
were each 20. February 29, leap
year's extra day, explains the situ
ation.
Paul Starr, Portland, junior in
business administration, and cap
tain of the varsity track team,
celebrated his fifth or twentieth
birthday quietly — working. Only
a few of his fraternity brothers at
Phi Kappa Psi knew the signifi
cance of the day.
With Donald Olsen, Eugene,
sophomore in business administra
tion, it was the same. Brother
Phi Delts observed the unique an
niversary with no ceremony.
For George Proctor, Grants
Pass, sophomore in biology. Alpha
Tau Omega swung no paddles in
celebration of a birthday that
comes only once in four years.
Yesterday was an important
one, too, for Peter Benson How
ard, son of Charles G. Howard,
professor of law. It was Master
Howard's second birthday reck
oned by leap years, but his eighth
by numerical count.
4The While Devil’
Next Faculty Club
Movie at Colonial
Cinema Taken From Story
By Russian Author;
Setting in Alps
“The White Devil,’’ taken from
the story "Hadschi Murat,” written
by Leo Tolstoi, will be the next
feature to be shown at the Colon
ial Thursday afternoon at 2, 3:45,
and 5:30 by the University Faculty
club, it was announced by S. Ste
phenson Smith.
“The White Devil,” a German
UFA picture, is a colorful drama
of eventful days in Russia and Tur
key at the time when Leo Tolstoi,
author, was a young cavalryman
in the Caucasus.
Lil Dagover, the star, now is in
the United States and has launched
a career that is already spectacu
lar. She has been acclaimed as the
screen idol of Vienna, Berlin, Paris
and other continental capitols.
The cast with Miss Dagover in
cludes: Ivan Moskoukine, one of
the most brilliant of European
players; Betty Amann and Fritz
Albert; together with enormous
troops of soldiers, devil-may-care
Cossack riders, and others.
The photoplay is declared to be
superb. The story is set in the lof
ty Alps where the scenery is un
surpassed anywhere in the world.
Sound effects and musical accom
paniment by the internationally
famous Don Cossack choir under
direction of Dr. Serge Jeroff, have
been arranged for American audi
ences. The dialogue is all in Eng
lish.
Speech Students To Give
Three-Minute Talks on Air
KORE To Broadcast for Half Hour
On Three Days
In an effort to meet the present
demand for trained radio speakers,
the speech department has made
arrangements with station KORE
to broadcast a series of programs,
in which students of the elemen
tary speech classes will be heard.
Beginning today, and continuing
through Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday of this week, the individual
students will speak for three min
utes apiece between the hours of
4 and 4:30 in the afternoon. Nine
speakers will be included in each
half hour session.
According to John L. Casteel, as
sistant professor of the depart
ment, the importance of training
in this line can not be overempha
sized, because of the increasing
consequence of the radio in every
day life.
Interracial Service To Be
Given on Negro at YWCA
An interracial vesper service will
be held today at 5 o’clock at the
Y. W. C. A. bungalow which will
be led by Nellie Franklin.
The theme of this service will
be appreciation for the contribu
tions of the new negro in the fields
of drama, poetry, and music.
The following negro spirituals
will be sung: “Lord, I Want to be
a Christian in My Heart,” “We
Are Climbing Jacob’s Ladder,"
and “Steal Away.” “Deep River,"
a piano solo will be played by Nor
ma Pickles. Ruth Breitmayer will
render a violin solo, “Going Home,”
Committee Votes
To Change Legal
Degree Standard
Required Average of ‘B’ or
Better Proposed for
Law Students
The academic requirements com
mittee endorsed a motion last Sat
urday whereby the requirements
for the J. D. degree would be ma
terially increased, according to a
faculty bulletin issued today.
The proposed additions say that
the applicant for the degree of doc
tor of jurisprudence must obtain
a minimum average grade of “B”
in the school of law, and that he
now must present a "thesis or se
ries of legal writings of high mer
it, and comply with such other re
quirements as the faculty of law
may from time to time impose.”
Previously a III average for law
courses was necessary.
This resolution submitted to the
faculty today will be passed upon
after three weeks. If accepted the
new ruling will take effect in June,
1933.
“The proposed changes,” Wayne
L. Morse, dean of the school of
law, said yesterday, “are in har
mony with the general movement
in legal education which seeks to
raise law school standards.
“There are 16 class “A” law
schools in the United States which
give J. D. degrees for superior un
dergraduate work in law. The re
quirements which I am proposing
have been adopted in the main by
six of these schools.”
Junior Physical Education
Majors Conquer Seniors
The junior and senior women’s
physical education majors played
a basketball game last night at 5
o’clock. The juniors beat the sen
iors, 43 to 29.
Last Friday the juniors beat the
sophomores 46 to 12.
The junior team is far the most
enthusiastic of the major teams j
and will probably win the major
league games.

Conyers Enters
Race for Eugene
Police Chief Post
Member of Military Staff
After Position Vacated
Through Resignation
Sergeant Edward Conyers, in
structor of military science at the
University of Oregon for the past
12 years, has entered his name as
candidate for the position of chief
of police in Eugene left vacant by
the resignation of R. W. Hall.
Although Sergeant Conyers has
had no actual experience in muni
cipal police work, he has done a
great deal of patrol Work on the
Mexican border, guard work in
the army, and a long term of civil
police duty in the Philippine
Islands.
His only statement concerning
his policies if chosen for the of
fice were to the effect that if the
people of Eugene wanted some
body to enforce the laws he would
do the best he could.
While Sergeant Conyers is not
free to retire from the army un
til the end of the present school
year, he stated that in case the
council was in a hurry to appoint
a man to fill the vacancy, he could
finish his enlistment by applying
for a furlough and take up his new
duties almost immediately in case
of his selection.

The “All-Star picking” disease
has hit the Emerald in advance of
the usual season for this ailment,
Cap Roberts
watching the boys
perform in McAr
thur court during
the past maple
court sessions and
hearing about the
athletes in their
other games, the
selections have
been made,
i In selecting the
all-Northwest ag
but anyway', after
gregation one s sense of the fitness
of things is immediately drawn to
the startling achievement of John
Fuller, Washington forward and
center, who was the inspiration of
the Husky drive for the pennant.
At the conclusion of the first five
games for the Purple and Gold the
quintet from the north was faced
with a four-game deficit and only
one game on the winning side of
the ledger. Coach Hec Edmund
son, Husky mentor, called for a
new deal and the result Fuller was
moved to the pivot position, a
tough assignment for a tall man
and still tougher one for a man of
ordinary (basketball) stature. Ful
ler, by the way, is six feet, one and
a half in height.
Fuller Faced Task
Fuller faced the Hereulean task
and showed plenty of guts. As a
direct result of his fight the rest
of the team snapped into action
and the Huskies, winning 11
straight, beat the percentage dope
sters and gained their fifth North
west title in a row. The conclusion
naturally follows that Fuller is the
man selected for captain on the
Northwest team. He is moved
back to forward, however, which
is his natural berth.
The other forward on the all
star team is our own Cap Rob
erts, who by his scintillating play
shoved the Webfoots much higher
in the percentage column than
was thought possible at the first
of the season. Roberts is not a
natural born scintillator and this
was made possible only by huge
quantities of hard work on his
part. At the beginning of his
career two years ago, the red
headed warrior was extremely
awkward, painfully so at times,
but continual practice overcame
this defect until this season he

'Seven Last Words of Christ9
Shows Finished Solo Work
Religious and sacred songs have
always been among the most stir
ring and moving music through
the ages. The life of Christ has
been the motivation for some of
the most powerful of these. Such
a one is “The Seven Last Words of
Christ,” by Theodore Dubois, which
was given by the First Methodist
Episcopal church choir, with John
Stark Evans as organist and con
ductor, Sunday evening.
Yet, how much is added to the
effectiveness of such an opus by
the deft handling of true artists.
One would go far before finding
artists who could so as finely as
Mrs. Edyth Hopkins, George Bish
op, and Don Eva, with the sopano,
baritone, and tenor solo parts in
the presentation of the cantata at
the Methodist Episcopal church.
George Bishop has a marvelous
voice. His diction is as clear and
plain as a country church bell on
a quiet Sunday morning. The
tone, range, and power of his voice
calls to mind that of Lawrence
Tibbett. The final thing,—the rev
erence which a sacred cantata de
mands, was provided by Bishop,
and put across to the congrega
tion so as to inspire the awe which
the proper interpretation should
Inspire.
In the fourth word, which was a
baritone solo, Bishop made one
hear the voice of a man, whose
good works have been forgotten
and against who all the world has
turned, cry out in anguish, “God,
my Father, why hast thou forsaken
me?” The field of music is open
to George Bishop.
Mrs. Hopkins and Don Eva gave
that same impression of reverence
and deep feeling which was so evi
dent in Bishop’s singing. Control
of tones, both high and low, both
loud and soft, marked their solos.
Especially did Mrs. Hopkins’ indi
vidual part stand out in the intro
duction, which was written entirely
for soprano voice.
Don Eva’s part in carrying the
tenor passages of the sixth word,
“Father, into Thy hands I commit
