Social Events Lag
As Examinations Near
"Closed Week-end,” with its
ominous hints of late term papers,
final examinations and much burn
ing of the midnight mazda, brings
to a sudden close the rapid succes
sion of society events that have
made the winter term the most
active socially of the year.
With only one event, the Gamma
Alpha Chi fashion dance, left on
the term’s schedule, attention is
directed to the first affair of
spring quarter, the all-campus
carnival backed by the Associated
Women students, on April 9.
The Igloo will be transformed
into a veritable carnival ground,
with booths operated by 28 liv
ing organizations. The center of
the floor will be used for a jitney
dance.
Muriel Kolster and Myrtle Mc
Daniels will be in charge.

Fashion Bull to be Big
Social Affair of Week-end m
Earlv indications that the Gam
ma Alpha Chi fashion dance, leap
year ball being presented tonight
by the women’s advertising hon
orary, would be one of the most
notable affairs of the term were
borne out when it was announced
yesterday that every ticket had
been sold.
The dance will be informal, with
women acting as escorts for the
men. It will take place at
Cocoanut Grove, starting at 9
o’clock.
The fashion show will be the
highlight of the evening, with
prominent campus men and wom
en showing latest spring styles
provided by Eugene merchants.
The dance will be the only ma
jor event of the week-end, no
other affairs having been sche
duled, in compliance with the Uni
versity's regular closed week-end
rulings.

FATE OF UNIVERSITY TO
EE LEARNED ON MONDAY
(Continued from rage One)
that the sLate board's operating
budget has been slashed several
hundred thousand dollars in the
past year. Governor Meier last
year vetoed $500,000 of the legis
lature’s $1,181,000 appropriation
and the remainder was soon tied
up by a referendum measure. A
sharp decrease in tax returns and
student fees has further reduced
the board’s funds.
Assessed valuation of property
are due to drop, tax experts point
out, with the decline of market
values of real estate. This will
mean a reduced yield from the
millage levy.
Economy, therefore, must be the
watchword of the board. This had
led observers to expect drastic
changes in curricula when the
board convenes Monday. Following
the suggestions of the federal sur
vey on higher education made
last year, the question of elimina
tion of course duplication has re
ceived a prominent place in the
discussions.
LANDSCAPING PLANNED
Informal shrubs are being plant
ed along the back side of old build
ings scattered along the railroad
tracks to hide them from view and
give tourists a better opinion of
the campus, according to George
York, superintendent of buildings
and grounds.

kind that Nevada advertised. It
fell short, they maintained, of the
standard which they believed was
necessary for justified separation.
The negative contended that the
divort^e laws of the state of Ne
vada were the best possible under
existing economic and social con
ditions.
A new angle on the question
which the negative advanced was,
that laws for separation could not
be condemned because they did
not solve the problems of misfit
unions. A successful remedy for
such instances could deal only with
the marriage laws and not the di
vorce codes.

Keaton at McDonald
If you have been having trou
ble with that danged cigarette
lighter, perhaps Buster Keaton
can give you a few tips in the
“Passionate Plumber,” take one
small blowtorch, one large cold
chisel—aw’ you’d better see for
yourself, it’s too funny. The whole
show is like that, jes’ squirrely.
Imagine Keaton as a plumber,
in a French girl’s bathroom and
you have an idea of the possibili
ties. Jimmy Durante, of the over
sized proboscis, also comes in for
some hearty laughs from time to
time. Irene Purcell, and Polly Mo
ran both receive the attentions of
these two characters—the atten
tions by the way are unusual and
varied as the case demands.
It is impossible to say that "The
Passionate Plumber,” has a legiti
mate plot, but a few incidents
might be stated. Keaton wrecks a
car and has to sign his love away
to pay for it. He literally becomes
an orthodox gigolo, one who makes
love to women so that other men
will love them better. A duel be
tween Keaton and a jealous suitor
proves to be hilariously funny, also
another ridiculous note is struck
when Buster is seen straining1 on

Garbo at Colonial
“Mata Hari,” starring Greta
Garbo and Ramon Novarro is
showing at the Colonial for the
last time today. “Mata Hari,” is
a picturesque film depicting inci
dents in the life of Mata Ilari,
famous spy who used her charms
to lure men to her and to wrest
their secrets from them.
“Smart Money,” featuring Ed
ward G. Robinson and James Cag
ney is a tale of a young man who
has two ambitions, one to become j
the king of big city gamblers, and |
secondly, to be a prince among |
the ladies. The latter (and rightly, j
too) must be blondes, but after 1
seeing some of the things they do i

give them the big go-by.

Warner Baxter, and Edmund
Lowe are featured in “The Cisco
Kid,” which is showing at the Rex
for today only.
“Street Scene,” the film adapta
tion of the Elmer Rice prize play,
which King Vidor directed for
Samuel Goldwyn, is the first pic
ture in the history of the movies in
which only a single setting is used.
The picture comes to the Rex Sun
day for a two-day run. The com
plete action of the play, as writ
ten by Mr. Rice, occurs in a New
York street and in the production
of the picture the cameras never
once left the block.
CHILDREN DECREASE
Because of a decrease in the
number of children in the United
States under 5 years of age there
will be a noticeable decrease in
first-grade enrolments within the
next ten years, the United States
office of education asserts. In 1930
there were 128,840 fewer children
under 5 years of age in the United
States than there were in 1920.
