Consolidation of University
and college at Corvallis.
Naming of chancellor from
among Oregon educators.
Gaining of legislative power
for parliament within next year.
Obtaining stationery and op
erating aid from the A. S. U. O.
By JULIAN PRESCOTT
For its first session tonight the
Student Parliament of the Univer
sity of Oregon will have before it
two matters expected to bring
forth considerable discussion. They
are: Opposition to selection of Dr.
Arnold Bennett Hall or Dr. Wil
liam Jasper Kerr as chancellor, and
decision as to working for legisla
tive power in the parliament.
The session will be held in Guild
hall at 7:30 o’clock tonight, it was
announced yesterday by Art Pot
win, presiding officer. He expects
the meeting to close shortly after
9 o’clock.
Parliament Asks Stationery
Other matters to come up in the
session include: a request that the
A. S. U. O. through the graduate
manager's office supply the parlia
ment with the necessary stationery
for keeping its records and for
carrying on communication with
other groups.
The additional problem of wheth
er the Associated Students should
actively oppose the initiative meas
ure to consolidate the University
and college on the Corvallis cam
pus has been tossed into the ring
for the members of the parliament
to pick to pieces when they meet
tonight. The steering committee,
meeting last night at the Kappa
house, added this topic to the cal
endar.
The grounds on which the presi
dents of the University and of the
college will be opposed are that
they probably have formed preju
dices through their service and
would consciously or unconsciously
favor one institution. The resolu
tion opposing the presidents also
urges that representatives of the
undergraduates be heard on prob
lems of student life.
I'otwin i rges Attendance
Students who are not delegates
as well as those who are have been
urged lay Potwin to attend the
meeting. Discussions by individ
uals will be cut short to give op
portunity for hearing as many del
egates as possible.
Potwin yesterday issued the fol
lowing call to all students to turn
out for the parliamentary meeting:
“Tonight the parliament will
face several important problems on
which the students will have a real
opportunity to voice their opinions.
Some of the resolutions expected
to be adopted will be carried
throughout the state. Every Ore
gon student should accept this
chance and come, if not as a reg
ular member with voting power, at
least as a member of the student
body with speaking privileges.”

Life-Size Bust of
Dr. Bernard Daly
To Be Cast Today
As a mark of appreciation for
the Bernard Daly educational fund,
created by the will of Dr. Bernard
Daly of Lake county, student ben
eficiaries now attending the Uni
versity and Oregon State college
are presenting to their county a
life-size bust of the Oregon philan
thropist.
The bust is the work of Rex
Sorenson, senior in art, and will be
cast in bronze today. After it is
completed it will be placed in a
prominent spot in Lakeview.
More than a decade ago, Dr.
Daly died and left his entire for
tune of $1,000,000 as a trust fund
to be used for educating young
men and women of Lake county.
Since that time approximately 200
students have gone from that
county to institutions of higher
learning and have had all their
expenses paid for four years.
Sorenson has won high praise
from those who have seen the bust
which he has completed. Sorenson
has been a student in the depart
ment of sculpture here under Oli
ver L. Barrett for three years.
Rogues and Scalawags Run
Loose in Faculty Club Show
All the gay rogues and scala
wags of “Merrie England” are as
sembled in the Faculty club pres
entation, “The Beggar’s Opera,"
to be presented Friday and Satur
day nights and Saturday afternoon
in the school of music auditorium.
From the sly pickpocket Filch,
to the swaggering highwayman,
MacHeath, all the droll characters
of joyous old England are present.
Wrapped in a glorious outlay of
the fashionable dress of the time
(1726) and swept up with the|
cheery songs and ballads with
which the old English regaled
themselves, the production pre-1
sents some of the finest voices in
the state.
Let not the title deceive you. No
sedate operatic OPERA is this.
No “high-brow” stab at the artis
tic and aesthetic. It is gay.
naughty, vivacious comedy, and
has an appeal both to the layman
and the experienced music-lover.
The entire production is under
the direction of S. Stephenson
Smith, who in addition takes the
part of Filch. All vocal work is
under the supervision of Madame
Rose McGrew, of the school of
music.
One of the finest baritones in
these parts has been uncovered
with the appearance of Gifford
Nash as MacHeath, man of brag
godocio. He is ably supported by
Grace Burnett, noted soprano a3
Polly Peachum. Other well-known
figures in musical circles make
their bows also. Among these are
Agnes Petzold as Lucy Lockit,
Guy Wernham as Peachum, Sally
Addleman as Mrs. Peachum, and
Carl Klippei in the role of Lockit.
The costumes range from bril
liant peach to sober grey, portray
ing every taste and fancy of the
well - dressed London scoundrel.

Breuning Defends
Foreign Policies
Before Reichstag
Debt Cancellation,' World
Disarmament Urged by
German Chancellor
BERLIN, May II.— (AP) — To
the accompaniment of heckling
from the National Socialists and
the Communists, Chancellor Hein
rich Bruening defended his foreign
and domestic policies before the
Reichstag today.
There has been no change in the
German position that it is impos
sible to continue reparation pay
ments, the chancellor said, since
that policy was first announced to
I the world last January. There is
increasing evidence that other
1 powers are coming to realize the
justice of the German view, Dr.
Bruening averred.
Without complete cancellation
of political debts, there can be
no economic recovery for the
i world, the 'Chancellor told the
Reichstag, and postponement of
payment, or even final payment in
one lump sum, is not acceptable.
‘‘The will to disarm is increas
ing. What we want, briefly, is
restoration of Germany’s equality
through general disarmament,” he
I declared.
He pledged his government to
rescind measures restricting com
merce and to remove tariff walls
as soon as other nations do like
wise.
I

acter, scholarship, and proficiency
in military tactics.
I Men pledged to the organization
are Howard Kemper, Forrest Pax
ton, Edgar Smith, John Penland,

Japanese Assert
Shanghai Troops
To Be Withdrawn
Movement Already Started
Will Be Compared by
End of Month
TOKYO, May 11.— (AP)—1The
Japanese government announced
today that in order “to end the
world-wide odium which has fallen i
upon us” the remaining members J
of the Shanghai expeditionary fore- I
es will be withdrawn within a j
month.
About 1500 Japanese troops still
are in Shanghai. When they have
been evacuated, only a small de
tachment of bluejackets will re
main there. The decision to evac
uate was made by the cabinet yes
terday and was approved by Em
peror Hirohito this afternoon. As
soon as the emperor had given his
consent orders covering the troop
movement were telegraphed to
General Yoshinora Shirakawa, the
commander at Shanghai.
Japanese evacuation will mark
the return to conditions as they
existed before the outbreak at
Shanghai last January.
The Shanghai clash came after
skirmishes between Japanese resi
dents of the city and Chinese po
lice and after an attack by a Chi
nese mob on five Japanese Budd
hist monks. Behind these differ
ences was the Chinese boycott
against Japanese goods which
arose from the Japanese military
adventure in Manchuria.
Senate Resolute
On Expense Slash
WASHINGTON, May 11 -(APj
—Determined legislators sat down
today on capital hill to carve $300,
000,000 from government expendi
tures with the personal promise
from President Hoover of full co
operation.
The senate’s special economy
committee went to work behind
closed doors after talking things
over at the breakfast table with
the president and fiscal aides. The
goal of $300,000,000 was mutually
acceptable to Mr. Hoover and the
senators.
As the economy drive went
ahead at full steam, the other
twin of the budget balancing legis
lative team—the billion dollar tax
bill—was brought to the verge of,
consideration with the presenta
tion of a report to the senate by
the finance committee. Senate
leaders hope to take it up tomor
row.

Hats Off to Herb!
He’ll Protect Us,
Acclaims Charley
Patriotic Protection
Congress asked the president
to pay for the knife to slit his
throat. He politely declined.
Mr. Hoover gently vetoed a
Democratic measure to shear
him of his power to raise or
lowgr customs duties. Tariff
lobbyists must continue to go to
to the president instead of con
gress.
I doubt if it’s personal jeal
ousy that prompted hi3 veto.
Here’s his reason: “There never
has been a time in the history
of the United States when tar
iff protection was moi;e essen
tial to the welfare of the Amer
ican people.’’ Righto, we need
protection, echoes Charley. Pro
tection FROM the tariff.
That’s altruism for you!
America first, last and always.
Buy Boston shoes: they’re only
twice as much. Buy Wisconsin
cheese: it’s nearly as good as
Swiss. Buy Dakota sugar: it’s
more than Cuban.

about yanking the fillings out
of your teeth ? The silver prob
ably came from Mexico.

LONDON, May 11. — (AP) —
Twelve American debutantes and
matrons, who crossed the Atlantic
to be introduced to Britain's king
and queen, participated in a free
show outside Buckingham palace
tonight for which much of London
was the audience.
The main event of the evening—
for which the Americans had re
ceived gilt-engraved invitations
from the palace was their presen
tation to their majesties beneath a
golden canopy in the state ball
room.
The real show was outside where
they sat for hours in a long
queue of limousines awaiting their
turn to enter the place.
United States Ambassador An
drew W. Mellon was one of the
late arrivals in the queue.
Mr. Mellon observed the prece
dent set by Charles G. Dawes and
turned his back on that of the late
Colonel George Harvey. He wore
ordinary evening dress, including
ordinary trousers, eschewing the
silk breeches in which Colonel
Harvey appeared at court.

Citizens of Sodom* Gomorrah
Believed Highly Cultured
ROME, May 11.—(AP)—The in
habitants of Sodom and Gomorrah
reached a high state of culture
before they were destroyed by
“brimstone and fire from the Lord
out of heaven.”
Such is the conclusion of Jesuit
archaeologists of the Pontifical
Biblical Institute of Rome, who
are unearthing near the Jordan
what they believe to be the twin
cities of "very grievous” sin.
The excavators have concluded
that 4000 years ago, in the later
bronze age, the supposed cities,
where there were not ten righteous
men, held residents who knew how
to paint murals and to write a
language.
An anonymous American and
the pope have financed the expe
! dition. It has uncovered mural
' paintings declared by the institute
j to be the oldest yet found in Medi
terranean countries with the pos
i sible exception of Egypt.
Dozens of flat pieces of pottery
1 with marks of a crude alphabet
[ on them have not yet been Ue
ciphered. A large number of oth
ers, produced by workmen, who
were given small tips on finding
objects of archaeological interest,
were found to be present day fakes
they had planted on the site.
The excavators found stone
ovens in the irrectangular houses.
These are similar to those still
in use in some peasant parts of
northern France, England, Wales,
and Ireland.
The residents of the destroyed
cities made vases and bowls with
great skill, the specimens indi
cate.
Hand flour mills of stone came
to light. These were worked by;
two women, said Father Semkow
ski. Shells from the Dead sea
were used as household ornaments.
Some shells, however, seem to
have come from Egypt, indicating
the people of Sodom and Gomor
rah engaged in commerce with the
Egyptians. Fathers Mallon and
Koeppel were unable to find any
trace of walls.
