Copy Of Grade Analysis To Be » Given Houses Deans ^ ill Give Ai<l In Remedial Work SURVEY IS COMPLETE Position of Each Organization Given; Grades Not Alone Basis Of Bitting By DON OLDS Men's organizations will re ceive copies of the analysis of grade ratings, compiled by Clif ford L. Constance, assistant regis trar, at a meeting of the Interfra ternity council today. Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, will distribute the copies of the survey at that time. The dean of women’s office will distribute the copies to the } women’s groups in the near fu ture. Mr. Constance said yesterday that any representative of a liv ing organization receiving one of the analyses and wishing to have it explained should see him. Dean Earl and Hazel P. Schwering, dean of women, will assist in working out the problems of the living groups in relation to the survey. Survey Said Complete Dean Earl commented on the survey as follows: “This is one of the best and most complete analyses of groups show ing the scholarship tendencies that I have ,ever seen. It should be of tremendous value to the various organizations if they will take time enough to weigh the contents of Mr. Constance’s survey.” In commenting on the purpose of the survey, Mr. Constance said: “There is no reason for the or ganizations to feel that they are being ‘put on the spot’ with pub ^ licity. They have already placed themselves in the position they hold in the survey, which is not confined to a consideration of the grade list only, but includes other pertinent factors as well.” Relative Positions Given The copies of the analysis that each living organization will re ceive will give in detail the posi tion of that particular group's grades. General material concern ing all organizations is given in condensed form. In addition there are a summary of the situation from the angles of psychological examination, preparatory record, cumulative grade point average, fall term 1932 grade point aver age, eliminative efficiency, terms retarded, dean's ratings and a com parison of what the group ac (Continued on Pacje Two) 'Blonde Crazy’ Midnight Show To Be Thursday A SPECIAL feature of Senior Leap week will be the mid night matinee showing of “Blonde Crazy,” with James Cagney and Joan Blondell.

These clubs are paying all expens es for the trip so that all proceeds from the concert may go to the Shrine hospital for crippled chil dren.

The Gleemen expect to leave I here Friday noon and return Sat | urday. Physics Students Mixed Up On Which Way Earth Moves The earth has changed its, course and is going around back-, wards. At least that’s what a number of students thought yesterday when they were trying to prove j Faucault’s pendulum experiment of the rotation of the earth. It all came about this way.] Down in the basement of Deady hall, there is a 260-pound iron ball, attached by a thin wire to a bearing at the ceiling, used for, the purpose of proving the pendu lum experiment. Yesterday Prof. ] W. V. Norris’ physics class, which was studying the rotation of the earth, was trying to perform this experiment. In this experiment, which was the first scientific proof of the ’ rotation of the earth, performed by Faucault in 1851 in the Pan theon in Paris, an iron ball is at tached by a wire to a movable bearing, which allows the wire to swing in any plane. This wire, when allowed to swing, apparently turns around like the hands of a clock—but in reality, it is swing ing in the same plane, while the earth revolves under it. Along about 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon, the physics students began the experiment, someone having spoiled the attempt in the morning. The 260-pound ball was started swinging, and a table placed underneath it to show how it appeared (to rotate. “Don’t touch the wire!” was the cry that was continually heard in that west end of Deady hall from the six students who posted them selves along the four flights of (Continued on Page Two) Education Cut ; To Hit Schools! Stunning Blow Almost Impossble Task Is Faced By Board MEETING IS MONDAY Reductions Make Drastic Slashes In Institutions of State Entirely Unavoidable By DICK NEUBERGER (Editor, Oregon Daily Emerald) PORTLAND, Ore., April 18.— (Special)—Those who claim they love their children should investi gate to see how distressingly this bit of sentiment has been omitted from the appropriation of funds for the coming biennium in higher education. If the standards of the state's educational institutions sustain decreases proportionate to the finances diverted for their maintenance, the youth of Oregon will suffer beyond all conceptions in the next two years. Funds for education have been slashed so drastically that the state board faces an almost im possible task at Eugene next week when it convenes to arrange j budgets for the coming biennium. The pi-oblem confronting the board and the chancellor is one that a wizard might tackle; and he would have to be a wizard who could make dollars multiply them selves. For human beings to hope to surmount the obstacle without making drastic cuts in the several institutions is impossible.

Thacher, professor of advertising, and members of Alpha Delta Sigma and Gamma Alpha ; Chi, men’s and women’s advertising honorary fraternities have been in vited to attend a meeting of adver tising clubs in Salem, Friday, April 21.

W. S. auction sale is in prog 1 ress.

Students who remember Ken Newport will be interested to I know that that sleek-haired gen i tleman’s notebook will be among | the articles to be sold. These me j moirs should prove interesting to J the lucky purchaser. And men, how is your compact collection ? Be smart; buy some. The collection from the Univer sity Depot offers much variety and good selection ot student’s belong ings—top coats, slickers, hats, books, notebooks, pens, pencils, jewelry, gloves, purses, spectacles, in wide range of sizes style and colors. Just before closing time ten minutes of two—choice tid bits of the sale will be auctioned off, rapidly and at low prices. Phoebe Greenman is in charge of the sale. Proceeds go to the A. W. S. loan fund for both men and women students. Evans Asked to Form Gleemen at Roseburp John Stark Evans, director of the Eugene Gleemen has been asked by the Roseburg community to go to that city to organize a men’s musical organization simi lar to the Gleeman of this city. On January 10, the local organ ization gave a benefit performance in that city which probably stimu lated the present action. As a result of the concert giv en in Salem in March that com munity is also attempting to or ganize the same kind of a musical club. Six In Infirmary The infirmary had six patients yesterday afternoon. As mid-terms draw nearer, more and more stu dents seek a rest cure, according to the infirmary nurses.

Publications Selections Due This Afternoon Committee Derision Due At 6 o’Cloek POLITICIANS STIRRING Roustabouts Benin to Formulate l’lnns For Party To Combat Tongue Ticket By JULIAN PRESCOTT Selection of the editors and managers of the Emerald and Ore gana for 1933-34 will bo made at a meeting of the executive coun cil this afternoon shortly after 5 o'clock, it was announced yester day by Boh Hall, president of the A. S. U. O. Announcement of the decisions is expected by 6 o’clock. At this meeting the recommen dations of the publications com mittee will be received for ap proval. It is expected that there will be no question about accept ing the recommendations of the committee. Candidates Listed Candidates for the Emerald edi torship are Sterling Green, pres ent managing editor of the paper; Elinor Henry and Stephen Kahn. Parks Hitchcock and Bob Zurcher are competing for the Oregana position. Considerably less interest in the appointments has been shown by students in comparison with that shown last year. This is possibly due to the smaller number of can didates, particularly in the race for Emerald editor. This year all three contestants are journalism students while last year two of the seven putting in applications were registered in other schools. Interest in the year book appoint ments has been lacking both years. Secret Ticket Coming In the line of A. S. U.

Roustabouts May Back Move For Improved Pigging 'T'RACTNG down rumors that a group of college students had bean seen entering an abandoned house down on the mill-race last night, the Em erald political reporter uncov ered some of the most startling campus news of the year. The Rollicking Roustabouts are at it again! In their secret hideaway out side the University beer district these intrepid politicians are apparently outlining a cam paign for the forthcoming stu dent body race. According to rumors reach ing the Emerald office, the Roustabouts are to have as some of their campaign plat forms the same used last spring: “An open door policy for sorority houses” anu "In dian corn along the mill-race.” Pre-Legal Group Will Meet Tonight A meeting of the Pre-legal stu dents association will be held to night in Room 209 Oregon build ing at 7:30 at which election of of ficers for the coming year will be held. Gordon Wells, Eugene attorney and a graduate of the University of Oregon law school, will speak to the group on “Glimpses of Le gal Problems." This meeting is for the benefit of all students planning to enter law schopl next year. In a state ment last night, Tom Tongue, president of the association, said, “Attendance at tlrip meeting is urged for all pre legal students, as Mr. Wells has something of great value for every student planning to enter the legal profession.” Huston Winner Of Hilton Prize Speech Contest Olio Frohnniayer Taker Of Seeoml Place LANDYE THIRD WINNER Survey Of Present Laws Affect ing Intoxicating Liquors Subject By BILL BELTON "Intoxicating liquor is now a matter of judicial decision since the repeal of the Anderson act in Oregon, and is no longer a ques tion of law,” stated Karl Huston of Albany in the winning speech of the Hilton Prize Contest for law students held last night in room 105 Commerce building. Mr. Huston won the $50 prize offered by Frank H. Hilton, Port land attorney, for the best oral discussion of the subject, “A Sur vey of All Laws at Present Af fecting Intoxicating Liquors and a Consideration of the Proper En forcing Agents for Such Laws.” Second prize of $25 went to Otto J. Frohnmayer of Portland, and third prize of $15 was won by James Landye of Portland. These prizes were donated by the law school through the aid of a trust fund. Must Confine Enforcement Huston further declared that “State courts cannot be used to enforce the federal prohibition laws, and State agents must be confined to the enforcement of the state laws.” Frohnmayer concluded that Ore gon laws do not make it illegal to make wine or beer. He also stated that congress is without power to compel a state court or state of ficers to enforce federal laws rela tive to prohibition or any other subject. Beer Tax Centuries Old In opening his speech, Landye said that the beer tax is not a new invention of the Democrats, but that Qeen Elizabeth had levied a tax on wine four centuries ago. William Goodwin and Charles Dolloff were the other two contest ants. Goodwin stated that "Morals cannot be legislated, education is necessary for reform.” Dolloff de clared that the repeal of the An derson act in Oregon was the con fession of defeat by the people of the state. ■ Hollis Introduces Speakers The contestants were introduced by Professor Orlando John Hollis.

And She Shall Wear a Crown9 Jeweled Robes for Three Days By HENRIETTE HORAK And she shall wear a crown— jeweled robes— and sit upon a throne unmatched in splendor. For three days, for 72 golden hours the campus government shall be turned over to her, and unto her every knee shall bow. The juniors will form her fa vored court, and all other students and visitors of the University dur ing the Junior week-end, May 12, 13, 14, will be her loyal subjects. She and her resplendent equi page will ride in shining, latest model autos, and in a special float during the canoe fete. She will be the first lady at the campus luncheon, the mothers’ day tea, the canoe fete, and the Junior Prom. Somewhere on this campus, un i conscious of her future reign, is | a junior girl who will soon be transformed from “just another co-ed" to a queen. Plans for her selection, and al so for the Junior Week-end are well under way, Virginia Hartje, chairman of the Week-end com mittee, announced yesterday. The nominations will be done as in previous years, and will take place Thursday, April 26, from 9 to 3 o’clock at the old libe. Bal lots will be printed in the Thurs day morning Emerald.
