Proportion Significant The fact that such a large pro portion of students from last term returned this spring term is re garded as particularly significant, for it shows that students are mak ing every effort, in spite of great economic difficulties, to continue their studies, it was pointed out.

Divided into classes, there are 447 freshmen, 664 sopho mores, 164 juniors, 462 seniors, seven special students, and 25 audi tors. Two hundred seventy-six students are registered in the graduate and professional schools.

MADELEINE GILBERT If college professors have been suffering with an inferiority com plex due to oft-heard remarks con cerning their over-abundance of theory and lack of practicality, they can new hold up their heads with genuine pride. The presi dent of the United States, since his inauguration, has drawn around him a group of advisers and assistants that is largely dominated by men whom he has called from professorships of col leges and universities. This point was made here this week by Wayne L. Morse, dean of the school of law, who is a personal friend of one of these very professors, Dr. Raymond B. Moley, professor of public law at Columbia university. In collabo ration with Dr. Moley. Dean Morse conducted a national survey of the grand jury system that won recognition from prominent legal men and others throughout the country. Dr. Moley has been appointed assistant secretary of state by President Roosevelt, and around him has sprung up a whole group of professor-advisers. These in clude Dr. Rexfor Tugwell, profes sor of economics at Columbia, who has become assistant secre tary of agriculture; Dr. Adolf A. Berler Jr., also of Columbia, who is advising the administration on railroad legislation; Dr. H. Par ker Wills, professor of banking at Columbia, who helped draft the Federal Reserve act of 1913 and who has lately been aiding with new banking laws, and Dr. Her man Oliphant, professor of law at Johns Hopkins university, who has been appointed general coun sel for the Federal Farm Board. One of the latest appointees from the professorial ranks is Dr. William I. Myers of Cornell, who has been granted a leave from his institution to become assistant to the chairman of the Federal Farm Board.

All (Continued on Page Two) Editor Posts Will Be Filled On Thursday Publications Committee To Report Soon POLITICS ARE PLACID No Competition Appears Vet for Tongue Machine, Opponent Expected To Crop Up By JULIAN PRESCOTT Action by the executive council on the report of the publications committee as to candidates for the posts of editor and manager of the Emerald and the Oregana is ex pected this coming Thursday af ternoon. While no definite an nouncement has been made, that is the regular meeting time for the council. Students in the field for the po sition of Emerald editor are Ster ling Green, Elinor Henry and Ste phen Kahn. Grant Thuemmel is unopposed for the managership of the daily. The two men who have tossed their hats in the ring for the year book editorship are Parks Hitch cock and Robert Zurcher. No com petition in the race for manager ship of the Oregana has appeared with Ed Cross, the only applicant. All Have Experience Both Miss Henry and Kahn have had considerable experience on the Emerald staff but are considered to be at a disadvantage in compet ing with Green, who is now man aging editor of the paper. All three have done some professional work. Green and Kahn have worked for some time on newspa pers. In the race for student body elections things were generally pretty quiet over the week-end. No competition for the ticket headed by Tom Tongue was more than rumored. Canvass of the campus politicians did not reveal a single logical opponent. However, it is considered to be certain that an other tifcket will appear between now and nominations on April 27. May Have Platform Reports that the Roustabouts, who created such a stir with their tickets last year, will come forth with a list of candidates persisted. It is understood that they are planning to present issues of vital campus interest in their campaign. Appearance of a platform will be something different in Webfoot politics. This may tend to arouse more enthusiasm in the election. Interest has been waning since the naming of student body officers has become merely a contest be tween two fraternity and sorority factions. Further strength was given to the belief that Nancy Suomela will run unopposed for the position of secretary of the A. S. U. O. when two supporters of the "secret” ticket were heard to say definite ly that no candidate will be put on the ballot in their line-up. Ticket Called Fiction “Absolutely without f o u n d a - tion” is the way "candidates" on the alleged ticket of Johnny Beard (Conti nurd on Pane Two) Victims of Crash In Serious State Mr. and Mrs. William W. Shess man of Portland, grandparents of Peggy Chessman, a freshman in journalism here at the University, were seriously injured Sunday night when their automobile hit a culvert near Rainier, it was learned by the Emerald yesterday. It was reported that Mrs. Chess man’s condition was “fair.” She suffered severe head injuries and a broken leg. Mr. Chessman’s con dition was very grave. He received chest and hip injuries. The Chessmans are the parents of Merle Chessman, editor of the Astorlan-Budget. They were re turning from Astoria when the ac cident occurred. The elder Chess man is a district manager in the Oregonian’s circulation depart ment. Mrs. Cressman is a cousin of Mrs. William Kuykenrall of Eu gene. Dick Neuberger Leaves For Medical Attention Dick Neuberger, editor of the Emerald, left for Portland Sunday to receive several treatments for sinus and antrum ailments. He is expected to return to the cam pus tomorrow. In his absence, Sterling Green, managing editor, and Thornton Gale, associate editor, will have charge of the Emerald. Seniors Must Get Cap, Gown Order In to Co-op Early OENIORS are urged to place ^ orders for caps and gowns, and announcements at the Co op by the end of this week.

Budget Delays Meet Of State Education Body Preparation of Finance Tabulation Unfinished NEXT MONDAY IS SET New, Old Problems To Confront Oregon's Higher Education Board at Session By DICK NEUBERGER (Editor, Oregon Daily Emerald) PORTLAND, Ore,, April 17.— (Special)- The state board of higher education did not convene here as scheduled today. Because of delays in the preparation of budgets and the enrolling of two new members, the meeting was delayed a week. It will be held next Monday at the University of Oregon. The scene of the session will be the council room of the Administration building. It will be the first formal meeting of the board to be held on the cam pus of any institution in the Ore gon system of higher education since the unified plan was put into effect last spring. Numerous important develop ments are expected at the forth coming meeting. Budgets, a greater problem than ever before, will occupy considerable of the board's time. The ways and means committee of the recent session of the legislature dealt se verely with higher education and it will be up to the board to de cide which units and departments will suffer the greatest sacrifices. Cuts Are Inevitable The question of whether to use vertical or horizontal cuts prob ably will be discussed to a certain extent. The former would elimi nate certain phases and divisions completely. The latter would trim all departments equally. There are numerous arguments on both sides. The protagonists of verti cal cuts contend that all but the barest essentials should be elimi nated from the curricula. They say only the fundamentals are (Continued on I'ayc Two) Pianist, Violinist Slated to Appear In Recital Tonight ^EVA LOIS THOMPSON, ~ ’ pianist, and Leo Lohikoski, violinist will present their first recital of the year tonight at 8 o’clock in the school of music auditorium.

To this question Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, re plied: “Of course it's impossible to say yes to that question after what Steffens said about sincerity on the campus last week; if any man dare to call me sincere, I'll sue him for libel.’) “Steffens is, however,” said Dean Allen, "the most intellectu ally honest man I know, although he maintains that honesty will never get anyone into heaven. He is also the most profoundly ethical personality I have ever come across—although he speaks slight ingly of ethics. “I am trying to keep from say ing what has been popping into i my mind at intervals for nearly 30 years, and that is, that Lincoln Steffens is a good bit like Jesus Christ. “He Is capable of scourging the money changers from the temple maintaining at the same time that thieves and robbers won’t do so [ badly in paradise compared with certain respectable types. He has the same attitude towards scribes and pharisees; the same tendency to speak in parables. "He told the young socialists that they were too respectable. If they meant business, they should join the communist party and let the police send them to jail. This was like Christ answering the same question when asked by the rich young man, "Sell all that you have and give it to the poor.” "His attitude toward compro mising liberals is characterized by the same irony. On one occasion Jesus was asked what attitude should be taken toward the op pressive Roman government. He called for a coin and asked ‘whose superscription is this?’ ‘Caesar’s,’ was the reply. “ ‘Then render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s.' "Jesus had about as much use for Caesar and Caesarism as Stef fens has for the First National bank. “This is not intended disrespect fully,” commented Dean Allen, (Continued on Paye Two)
