Saturday Deadline
For Course Fees
Slightly more than one-third of
the students have paid their
couse fees for spring term, it was
reported yesterday by E. P. Lyon,
University cashier. Only three and
a half days remain in which to pay
fees without penalty.
“With such a large percentage
of the students yet to pay fees,
there will likely be considerable
congestion at the cashier’s office,”
Mr. Lyon commented. “Because of
banking hours it is necessary that
the office close promptly at 12
on Saturday morning. Other days
it closes at 3 o’clock.”
A penalty of $2 is charged for
payment on Monday, with an addi
tional 25 cents charged each day
thereafter for the remainder of the
l week. Students who have not paid
fees by the end of next week auto
matically suspend themselves, it
was explained by Mr. Lyon.

Colorful Pageant at
Women’s Pool

ed the finishing touches to “The
Frog Dance,” water pageant to be
given this evening at 8 o'clock in
the women’s pool at Gerlinger hall
by the Amphibian club, local wom
en’s swimming honorary.
It will be a colorful and attract

riette Saeltzer, who is in charge.
The theme is a fairy tale. A king
offers as reward his lovely daugh
ter’s hand to the suitor who suc
cessfully recovers her bracelet
from the bottom of the garden
pool. This story forms the back
ground for a finished demonstra
tion of form swimming, diving, and
stunts, all cleverly worked in as
part of the suitor’s attempts to
win the princess's hand.
The plot and its related demon-.
stration is further carried out by
an effective setting of colored
lights and brilliant costumes.
The carefully selected cast to
appear in the demonstration con
sist of the following: Mary Mac
Mahon, the princess; Ella Redkey,
the king; Jerry McGillicuddy, the
frog prince; Agnes Morgan, Elean
or Thurston, Helene Ferris, Mae
Schnellbacher, maidens attending
the princess; Dorothy Lou Mac
Millan, the jester; Madeleine Gil
bert, Helen Dunshee, Harriette
Saeltzer, Dorothy Goff, Joy Cot
tingham, Elaine Untermann, Eliza
beth Robertson, Margaret Rey
nolds, Helen Lawrence, Joyce Bu

to begin the inspection. These in
spections are directed by the staff
in charge of all reserve officer
training corps in this area. The
9th area includes all the states on
the Pacific coast.
Foreigners Believe Movies
Depict True American Life
By RUTH McCLAIN
That the over-stuffed American
home scene and rah-rah college
life picturized by the Hollywood
movies are accepted by foreign
audiences as true conditions here
was frankly admitted yesterday by
Miss Eirian Morgan-Owen, Eng
lish student movement executive
who was a Y. W. C. A. guest for
several days.
American movies are religiously
accepted by the English as por
traying true standards in the Unit
ed States, she said. It is impossi
ble to remove from the British
mind ihe role given the West by
the cowboy pictures. When Miss
Morgan-Owen went to Chicago her
family and friends were scandal
ized, but the worst blow came when
they found that, she was going on
to California, land of bandits and
gun-slinging cow hands.
Social life among English stu
dents is not organized. The great
est sport is walking, and “youth
hostles” have been built over the
entire country so that strolling
students may drop in to cook their
own meals or rest. The English
woman laughed gaily when she re
called a hike she had been invited
to take when in Los Angeles.
Describing the sections of the
United States she has visited in
three months, Miss Morgan-Owen
characterized the East as openly
smug with a tendency to apologize
for the country, and the West
keenly alert to everything new and
with an eye on foreign countries.
Of the Middle West she finds the
outstanding thing to be its con
ceit.

Auto Tire Tread
Brings Tangible
Baum Case (due
• _
Model ‘A’ Ford Sought by
Police as Hit-Ruu
Accident Car
Tire-tread marks on a piece of
notebook paper dropped by Ann
Baum proved the first tangible
clue yesterday to the hit-and-run
car which sent the A. W. S. presi
dent to Pacific Christian hospital
late Monday night suffering from
undetermined injuries. The treads
have definitely identified the car
as a model ‘A’ Ford, city police
said last night.
A smashed head-lamp brought
the first trace of the hit-and-run
driver. State police received re
ports yesterday of a car seen trav
eling north from 6th avenue. The
car was reported to tally with the
tentative description of eye-wit
nesses to the accident, but police
found no trace of the auto.
Dr. Irvin R. Fox, who is attend
ing Miss Baum, reported last night
that all X-rays taken showed that

Colonial To Show
Faculty Cinema,
rOutward Bound’
“Outward Bound,” the produc
tion which the Faculty club will
present at the Colonial theatre
Thursday afternoon, is now enjoy
ing one of the most remarkable
“revivals” ever accorded a picture
in New York, according to word
received here by S. Stephenson
Smith, chairman of the Faculty
club committee.
The picture was a sensation
when produced a few months ago,
and many critics declared it even
more effective than the stage play j
from which it was taken. With j
an all-star cast of players peculi-!
arly suited to this type of picture, :
the entire production was hailed I
as one of the outstanding of the 1
year by such publications as the
New Yorker, Time, and others.
The plot involves a number of
people who find themselves bound
on a journey, the journey being,
they discover, their trip from the
earth. Their reactions and feel
ings make for an atmosphere
rarely achieved on the stage or
screen.
The picture will play three times
in the afternoon, starting at 2:00
o’clock, and although this is one
of the special cinema events of
the year, regular prices will be
charged, it is announced.

Senate To Vote on
Beer This Session
WASHINGTON, April 19—(AP)
—A senate opportunity to vote on
beer this session was virtually as
sured today despite disapproval of
the Bingham bill to legalize four
per cent brew by the manufactur
ers committee.
In reporting the measure ad
versely 7 to 4, committee members
agreed to let it go to the senate
floor.
Meantime, an official of the
American Federation of Labor
warned of a “revolution” unless the
employing power of the beer in
dustry is revived but before anoth
er senate sub-committee Bishop
James Cannon, Jr., said: “we are
never going to surrender.”
’Give ’em Booze
And Milk’em Dry’,

No Beer—No Bonus
Every moron 21 years old can
vote. And if you doubt my word
just glance at the bills Congress
is debating.
Beer and the bonus vie for
favor as vote-catchers. A dol
lar in the pocket and a bottle
on the hip is a congressman's
best campaign slogan. Give ’em
beer and give 'em hell. Good
old Senator Bingham loudly
yells for beer for the boys and
quietly helps the big shots boost
the tariff. Talk about rolling
drunks.
Fiery LaGuardia — New
York’s lone Republican con
gressman — tips over the apple
cart by rapping the bonus. To
take fellows who yelp for a
bonus “to help unemployment”
he retorts, if you want to help
the jobless, let’s have unem
ployment insurance.
But the boys have industrial
ists for constituents as well as
veterans. And it takes cash
to get elected.
Me and Plato are losing
faith in democracy.

Europe Must
Settle Affairs,1
Borah Argues
Idaho Senator Opposes
Debt Cancellation
Omission of Payment Item
In Britain’s Bmlget
Draws Critieism
By NATHAN ROBERTSON
WASHINGTON, April 19—(API
A sharp warning sounded in the
Senate by Chairman Borah of the
foreign relations committee that
Europe must settle her own prob
lems before coming to the United
States for debt relief roared across
the Atlantic tonight.
Borah led a chorus of opposi
tion to debt cancellation in the
Senate as the news spread that
Great Britain’s budget announced
today does not include provision
for payment of the American debt.
For the first time since the
campaign of 1928, Borah turned
his oratorical fire on former Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith, of New
York, characterizing as “cancel
lation” the Democratic candidate’s
plan for a 20-year moratorium on
debts.
Unheralded, Borah’s speech was
made before sparsely occupied gal
leries, but the Senate floor filled
as he demanded revision of the
Versailles treaty, disarmament and
settlement of the reparations prob
lem.
He told the Senate the war did
not end in 1918, but “has been
carried on as remorselessly and to
some extent more destructively
since that time.”
“The economic war, the finan
cial war, has never ceased,” he
shouted. “It is a continuance of
the war upon the battlefield.
“To cancel the debts on the the
ory that it would help economic
conditions, without a change in
these treaties and spirit, is in my
opinion a perfectly futile proposi
tion.”
Before Borah started, Senator
Reed, of Pennsylvania, administra
tion spokesman, served notice in
the face of the British budget de
velopment that this country ex
pects to collect its debts.
Dr. Hall Returns

Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, presi
dent of the University, returned
home from Portland yesterday

Dr. Hall said last night that his
condition was greatly improved
since his collapse Monday after
the noon adjournment of the state
board of higher education. Al
though doctor’s orders have been
to get a good rest, he will con
tinue to work part time on the
huge program placed before him
by the state board under the care
ful eye of a physician, he said.
His collapse was described by
Dr. Richard B. Dillehunt, dean of
the University medical school ih
Portland, as being caused as the
result of overwork. He prescribed
a good rest for Dr. Hall before re
suming his duties.

j meet tonight in
l Villard hall to or

Mimnaugh, presi
dent of the asso

said last night.
The forum,
; planned as an
open discussion
group to provide
each student
with a more complete understand
ing of campus problems and to de
velop student leaders, is an out
growth of the N. S. F. A. assembly
held last term at which campus
politics were discussed.
One sophomore, junior, and
senior from each living organiza
tion, preferably those men and
women most interested in campus
politics and affairs, will be asked
to attend the first meeting of the
forum tonight, according to Mim
naugh. Irma Logan, A. S. U. O.
secretary, will call all houses and
halls today to ask presidents to
choose their representatives.
Mimnaugh will preside tempor
arily at the formation meeting to
night, but the group will be free
to choose its own chairman and
proceed with plans of organization
as it sees fit, it is reported. A
parliamentary system, copied from
student unions in Australian uni
versities, has been proposed for
the Oregon student forum, accord
ing to Mimnaugh. Other organi
zation plans are also said to be
ready for presentation tonight.
Attack Launched
On Bonus Payment
WASHINGTON7April 19—(AP)
Three veterans of political and
world war battles today launched
the counter attack which adminis
tration leaders hope will block the
two billion dollar bonus payment.
Representatives Laguardia of
New York and Simmons of Ne
braska, formerly of the air service,
and Representative Johnson of
South Dakota, once an infantry
man, assailed the currency expan
sion plan to cash the bonus certifi
cates.
All three Republicans favored
changes in the existing law, a point
immediately stressed by Represen
tative Patman (D., Tex.), who is
leading the bonus fight. But none
favored the $2,400,000,000 cash
payment.
"If a secret vote were taken on
this bonus plan in the house, there
would not be 30 votes for it,” La
iguardia said.
Mortar Board Ball Affords
Campus Co-eds Date Initiative
Gather ye invites while ye may,
men. Following the suggestion of
the green frogs of last week and
the serenade by the Mortar Board
last night, co-eds are ready to take
tlie grand leap towards the Mortar
Board ball Saturday.
The whole idea is based on the
leap night idea. Women will buy
tickets to the ball, and escort their
partners to the dance in whatever
style they believe fitting for the
formality of the occassion. The
ball will be of special interest to
freshmen because of the choice at
that time of Kwama pledges from
their number.
A novel amplifying system is
being installed at the Eugene ho
tel, by which the music of Abbie
Green’s Midnite Sons will be heard
in the ballrooms from the lobby,
where they will play. Use of the
entire lobby and three dining rooms
is planned to provide plenty of
space for dancing.
On Thursday the Co-op will dis
play five fine prints of old master
pieces, from which the house re
porting the largest sale of tickets
by Saturday morning will choose
one as a prize. Alexis Lyle, chair
man of the sale, announces the fol
