“Before entering petition for
this position I put my case before

this in view, I will stand by my ,
position until the Judiciary Com-1

Said Parks Hitchcock, the other
candidate voted unacceptable by i
the Council:
“I believe myself perfectly
within my rights in leaving my hat
in the ring for the post of Ore

rOnce In Miami9
Gives Audience
Hollyivood View
A sight-seeing tour through Mi
ami on a Hollywood lot was given
the audience who gathered to
watch and stayed to applaud the
Amphibians as they exhibited how
it was done “Once in Miami" in
the women's pool last night. While
the languorous heroine, Neva
Saidaword, and her aunt, Madam
Do Pistarre, lounged in trailing
gowns beneath huge striped um
brellas and palm trees at one end
of the sparkling pool and the fussy
little Director Du BeStille and his
cameraman “shot" the scene from
the opposite end, a rainbow of
mermaids turned the pool into a
riot of action and color.
Evening and a pool shot with
red and lavender from concealed
lights, and cut with changing pat
terns made by a troupe of skilled
professional swimmers in white
caps and long-sleeved black suits
was the feature of the second
scene. The climax was a spree
of diving; single swan dives, dou
ble dives, and quintet dives, all in
time to the beat of the director’s
drum.

Contest Entries
Being Considered
Manchurian Question Is Popular
With Essay Writers; Judges
To Decide Soon
A great deal of interest in Far
Eastern questions is manifested in
the papers submitted for the Mur
ray Warner essay contest which
closed a few days ago. Eighteen
papers were submitted and the
committee of judges consisting of
Dr. Harold G. Noble, chairman,
Dr. Victor Morris and Dr. Samuel
Haig Jameson are at work judg
ing the scripts. The prizes which
are given both in the American
and foreign student divisions will
be announced and given in May.
In the American division the
Manchurian question was the most
popular, although papers on popu
lation problems in Japan, indus
trial and social revolution in Ja
pan, and problems affecting pres
ent nationalist government of
China were written.
In the foreign division papers
dealing with the Philippines and
her forthcoming independence
were the most popular. In both
divisions the essays show signs
of careful research, work, ' and
thought.
Mrs. Murray Warner, donor of
the prize, has already given the
University a number of books and
precious art works, which are to
be on display at the opening of
the Warner museum here. These!
works have attracted national at- i
tention and will no doubt attract
much attention to our new mu
seum.

Wide Variety of
Articles Sold at
A. W.S. Auction
Everything but lost wives wan
found and everything but engage
ment rings sold at the A. W. S.
auction sale, held yesterday from
10 to 2 on the steps of Commerce.
“Everything and anything for
sale" was the cry of the barkers as
they auctioned off to the highest
bidder all belongings which have
been turned in to the lost and
found department of the Univer
sity depot during the past year.
Gloves, jewelry, slickers, coats,
notebooks, pens—all were flour
ished by the auctioneer with his
cry of "Going, going, going, gone!"
Fountain pens went first—stu
dents apparently full of foresight
for midterms. Personal property
didn't sell so well and at the end
df the auction, managers of the
sale went off with boxes full of
left-over scarfs, shoes, gloves, and
other unwanted goods.
The total amount made through
the auction was about ten dollars,
according to Louise Webber, presi
dent of the A. W, S. The money
made will go into the A. W. S.
emergency loan fund.
Bovard Explains
Why Courts Are
Not Open Sunday
Demand of Tennis Players Is Not
Sufficient to Warrant
Extra Cost
In answer to the annual spring
query as to why the tennis courts
are not open on Sunday morning,
it was explained yesterday by
Dean John F. Bovard of the school
of physical education, that the de
mand is not large enough to war
rant the expenditure necessary to
provide a caretaker.
A considerable number of stu
dents have been wanting to know
why they can’t get. onto the courts
these sunny Sunday mornings
such as prevailed before Easter. It
seems that the same question is
raised every spring.
Last year, Dean Bovard ex
plained, the department hired a
man to open the courts on Sunday
mornings. He was to stay on duty
until noon and as part of his work
kept a tally of the number of stu
dents using the courts.
It was found that only a very
small number of students took ad
vantage of the opportunity to play
on Sunday morning and that the
expense was too high to be war
ranted. After a few weeks the
service was discontinued.

Nominations for Junior Week
end queen are in order with vot
ing polls open from 9 to 3 in front
of the old libe today. Every stu
dent on the campus has a chance
to express his opinion on feminine
pulchritude and queenly attri
butes.
The ballots to express prefer
ence for Junior queen are provided
in this issue of the Emerald; they
are to be filled out and dropped
in the ballot box in front of the
old libe.
Any junior woman on the cam
pus may be nominated. The only
qualifications—she must be “good
to look upon,” stately, and cifrry
herself as truly a queen.
From the ranks of the fair jun
iors who win the greatest support
in today’s nominations, the names
of the 10 who rank the highest
will be placed upon a forma! bal
lot, and the election of the queen
will take place Wednesday, April
26.
The co-ed selected for queen will
rule the campus during Junior
Week-end, May 12, 13, 14, and
reign at the campus luncheon, the
mother’s tea, the canoe fete, and
the Junior prom.
Student body cards will be
checked to avoid "stuffing” of the
ballot box. The ballots will be
counted by George Hibbard, chair
man of the Junior Week-end; Vir
ginia Hartje, chairman of the
queen’s reign; Kay Briggs, chair
man of elections; Neil Bush, pres
ident of the junior class, and Don
Caswell, in charge of publicity.
Arguments Rage Over
Oregana Head
CROSS IS SELECTED
Hitchcock, Zurcher Not Favored
By Executive Council;
Action Pending
•
Sterling Green of Portland last
night was named by the publica
tions committee and executive
council to be editor of the Oregon
Daily Emerald for the 1933-31
school year. He will take office
in the fall, succeeding Dick Neu
berger of Portland, whose term ex
pires this spring.
Green is managing editor of the
paper at present. Before that he
had held various subordinate posts
on the daily. He is a junior in the
school of journalism, a member of
Theta Chi fraternity, and has
served on various campus commit
tees. He is 21 years old and grad
uated from Jefferson high school
in Portland. He was selected from
a field of three candidates.
Thuemmel Gets Fost
As business manager, the groups
named Grant Thuemmel, also of
Portland. He is a sophomore in
business administration and was
named automatically, being the
only candidate for his post. He
will succeed Harry Schenk of Port
land. Thuemmel is circulation
manager at present; he is said to
be filling that post unusually well.
For business manager of Ore
gana, Ed Cross of Salem was cho
sen. He also was unopposed and
was named automatically. He
will succeed Thomas Tongue of
Hillsboro, candidate for student
body president. Cross served on
the business staff of the yearbook
this year.
Big Fight Looms
Over the editorship of Oregana
a stalemate arose that promises
considerable commotion. Two can
didates originally applied to the
publications committee. They were
Robert Zurcher and Parks Hitch
cock. Largely on the basis of past
experience with Oregana, of which
Hitchcock had none, Zurcher was
named by the publications com
mittee.
However, the executive council,
investigating Zurcher's grades,
found they were so low as to make
it virtually impossible for him to
obtain a junior certificate by the
start of fall term. The council,
also being aware that Dick Neu
berger, editor of the Emerald, had
made the motion that Hitchcock
be named as alternate if Zurcher
be unable to make the position,
and had found no seconds for his
motion, stated that both Zurcher

'Smilin’ Sam\ Nee Smilodon
Californicus9 Escapes Notice
Smilin’ Sam, in other words the
Smilodon Californicus of the geol
ogy department, has been standing
in the laboratory at Condon hall
for some time entirely unnoticed
by the general public.
Smilin’ Sam was once a live
tiger, a saber toothed tiger with
great foretusks seven inches long
with which he terrified smaller
animals than himself. He stood
three feet high when in his cus
tomary crouched position and was
six feet in length. A wicked ani
mal if there ever was one!
The story goes that once, while
in his favorite haunts around the
tar pits of La Brea, California, this
denizen of the wilds espied a choice
morsel of food on what he took to
be a swamp. But when he started
out to get it he discovered his
mistake- it was asphalt—and poor
Smilin’ Sam couldn’t get out.
And so it was that many years
later geologists excavated those
tar pits and found the remains of
the tiger, along with those of many
other beasts including ancient coy
otes, wolves, etc.
Smilin’ Sam was shipped to the
University some years ago in
pieces and students of paleontol
ogy proceeded to assemble him. He
now stands, still smiling, in Con
don. Mr. W. E. McKitrick, of the
geology department, will show him
to anyone interested in seeing
what the old-time tigers looked
like.
Howard Stafford, son of Dr. O.
F. Stafford, professor of chemis
try, contributed the history of this
j Smilodon Californicus.
