Lyle Spencer of the University of Washington looms upon the horizon. The Board of Control, analogous to Oregon’s executive coun cil of the associated students, recommended the move by a 13 to 3 vote Wednesday night. The board’s alumni members cast the dissenting ballots. Now the University board of regents must approve the change on April 5 and then 1,500 out of some 6,000 students must vote for the plan to put it into effect. University of Washington student body finances are on the brink of ruin, it appears in dispatches from Seattle. There is need for more “continuity of policy” in running affairs of the A. S. U. W., Wally Howe, student body president, explained in the Washington Daily. The A. S. U. W., he pointed out, was — technically in default on the portion of pavilion bonds due for retirement last January. A pretentious building program has become unwieldy. A. S. U. W. credit is down. So the following amendment to the student body constitution was drawn up. “ . . . . All powers and acts of the Associated Students of the University of Washington audits Board of Con trol shall be subject to the supervision and control of the Presi dent of the University of Washington. Any provisions of this constitution in any way inconsistent with the power hereby vested in the President of the University of Washington are repealed.” Alumni members of the board of control voted “No" because they argued that the plan would not correct and strengthen per manently the financial athletic structure of the A. S. U. W. That was needed more than "the placing of moral responsibility on the university administration for the repayment of sums to be advanced by certain bankers to the A. S. U. W.” What the change will mean for Washington is hard to pre dict. We are glad to know that here at Oregon student body finances are well on the road to recovery, witli a definite plan of payment worked out for the next few years. Perhaps what Washington needs most is a PLAN, not just supervision by the administration which it and all other universities have had any way. A Citizen of the Community rjX) OUR contemporary, the Eugene Register-Guard, we are indebted for a slogan that any university paper might well regard with more than passing interest. At the masthead of that publication is the motto, “A newspaper is a citizen of the community.” If a university and a university newspaper- should extend the scope of its educational influence further than the bounds of its own campus, then it may not be amiss at this time to direct attention to the fallacies contained in an editorial published in the grocery advertisement of one of our more vigorous local merchants. Making a pica for honesty in advertising and politics, the editorial condemns the sale of sugar “refined in the Philippines with 'nigger' help,” which enters the United States free of duty. The merchant, figuratively speaking, pats himself on the back, maintaining he is “doing his part to restore prosperity by selling only sugar refined in San Francisco.” If intellectual honesty is really one of the merchant's ideals, we believe he will thank us for pointing out that "buying at home” is no panacea for our present economic condition. If it were, then why not raise tariff walls between the states, aye, between the cities themselves? Aud why not pass a law making foreign trade a felony? American prosperity is largely dependent upon foreign trade. To sell our commodities to other countries, we must buy theirs. So, if Philippine sugar is cheaper and better than our domestic beet product, by all means let us buy it. And let the American farmer raise something else. If we must subsidize him, let’s do it with our eyes open—not with the blinders of tariff and propaganda. If honesty is truly the goal of the local advertiser, we urge him to read a bit about the law of comparative advantage. Aud to show our good faith we'll even loan him our copy of Taussig’s "Principles*of ;Econ^mics. '•>' CAMPUS ♦ ♦ ALENDAR League for Independent Political !

New York Chili Splashers Break AAW Relay Mark| Leonard Spence Shatters 220-Yd. Breast Stroke Record at Meet NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 1.— (AP) Breaking the world's rec ord for the second time today, the New York Athletic club tonight retained its national senior A. A. U. championship in the 400 yard swimming relay in a brilliant per formance that brought the mark down to 3 minutes 31 4-5 seconds. Leonard Spence of the New York A. C., defending his national sen ior A. A. U. 220-yard breast stroke title, swam to a new world’s rec ord. His time was 2 minutes 44 seconds, three-fifths of a second better than the old mark. The New Yorker, who also held the former mark made last night year’s championship, was closely pressed during the first 100 yards by Schmieler but from then on was never threatened. Tom Blankenberg of the Los An geles A. C. beat out Schmieler for second place by inches. The New York relay team in the preliminaries had lowered the former time of 3 minutes, 32 2-5 seconds by one-fifth of a second.

These books have been selected by the executive com mittee of Phi Beta Kappa of which Dr. John H. Mueller of the sociology department is president, as being examples of the best cur rent works in various intellectual fields. A $25 scholarship, usually an annual award to some member of Phi Beta Kappa, has been turned into an endowment for this shelf, Dr. Mueller explained. The plan, decided upon by members of Phi Beta Kappa in their fall term meeting, is to give the books, af ter they have been made available to the general student body, as a scholarship at the end of the year. Conditions for this have not yet been determined, he said. It is the hope of the executive committee that the shelf can be extended in future years. Two books, the “Collected Poems” of Robert Frost, and the “Story of San Michple” by Axel M. F. Munthe, have been ordered from London, England, and have not arrived. The others on the shelf now are “Mexico” by Stuart Chase and Marian Tyler, “The Good Earth,” by Pearl Buck, "Soviet Russia” by William Henry Cham berlain, and volumes I, II, and II of “Main Currents in American Thought” by Vernon Louis Par rington. Casteel To Have Class At Methodist Church John L.

BILLION DOLLAR TAX BILL SENT TO SENATE (Continued from 1'age One) $5,000,000. Although by eliminat ing this item revenue was reduced $17,000,000, Acting Chairman Crisp of the ways and means com mittee demanded the vote. Big Increase Anticipated The stock dividends amendment to bring in $88,000,000 as esti mated by the committee, was re tained by a viva voce vote. This applies the normal income tax rates during 1932 and 1933 to dividends received from corpora tions whose gross income is over $25,000. The present law does not tax dividends until they reach the surtax brackets of $10,000, or over. PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE WILL 15E CONSIDERED SOON WASHINGTON, April 1—(AP) The Senate program for the re mainder of the session was virtu ally made up today by the Repub lican steering committee giving preferred status to five important measures. The lineup includes the bills for naval construction, government reorganization, $136,000,000 road construction: disposition of Muscle Shoals and Philippine indepen dence. These measures will be taken up in that order as soon as the Sen ate disposes of the pending Reed resolution seeking a tariff com mission investigation into the ef fects of depreciated foreign cur rency values on American imports. The program includes about all outstanding controversies remain ing: It is to be subordinated to the tax and appropriation bills which must be passed before ad journment. From Other College # # Circles Hunter Staff Out The Hunter Bulletin, student publication at Hunter college, was out on the campus last week, but its masthead bore the legend, “Pub lished by Student Council,’’ instead of the names of the editorial staff, which quit in a body. A four-column editorial and a statement bearing the names of former members of the “Bully” staff, explained their action in de tail. The staff declared that Dr. James M. Kieran, president of the college, had “refused the Bulletin the use of cigarette advertise ments, the main source of income” for the publication, which meant that the paper could print only four pages weekly instead of six, with a consequent lowering of edi torial standards. The staff also felt, it said, that it “must keep its pledge to the Women’s Intercollegiate News as sociation—to allow no interference with college publications by the administration, the faculty or the alumnae.” President Warns Students The ire of President McCori naughy has been aroused by the $3,000 budget for the approaching junior prom at Wesleyan univer sity. When so many men are out of work he told the students in an ad dress, that is too much to spend for a good time. He also pointed out that a fifth of the members of the junior class are receiving scholarship aid. He added, however, that the fac ulty would make no attempt to curtail the expense. Students To Go to China In a special ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of her educa tional interests in China, now torn by war, Oberlin students and fac ulty members last week chose two' seniors to carry on her work at Oberlin-in-Shansi. They were Elizabeth James, president of the student Y. W. C. A. and Richard Irwin, vice-presi dent of the Y. M. C. A. here. Internationalism Promoted An all-university mass meeting was recently called at the Univer sity of Southern California to adopt a resolution of international goodwill among younger people. The action was endorsed by the In terfraternity council, the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. President Apologizes President Hopkins of Dartmouth college has sent an apology to Dean Hawkes of Columbia univer sity as the result of booing of of ficials and players by the Dart mouth students at a Columbia Dartmouth basketball game. Co lumbia won the game, 42-32, thus taking the lead in the Eastern In tercollegiate league. Zona Gale Honored Among three men and three wo-* men receiving honorary degrees at Rollins college last week was Miss Zona Gale, novelist. She was given the degree of Doctor of Humani ties. Another was Miss Annie Russell of Winter Park, retired actress, in whose honor Mrs. Edward W. Bok of Philadelphia gave Rollins $100, 000 with which to build the Annie Russell theatre, now nearly com pleted. ERIC W. ALLEN HONORED AT GREAT BANQUET (Continued from Tuge One) Hoss expressed Dean Allen's work. One of the many letters read at the banquet was from Willard G.
