Regular big league opening day
ceremonies will take place on
Reinhart field today when the Ore
gon Webfoot baseball nine tangles
with Columbia university at 3:00
o’clock. A second contest will be
played Saturday.
As if the Yankees and Athletics
were opening in the huge New
York stadium, thus will be the
scene depicted on Oregon’s weath
er-beaten baseball diamond. Mayor
Elisha Large will perform in the
role of master of ceremonies by
tossing out the first ball. On the
receiving end will be Ike Donin,
the starting Duck pitcher. An
added event will be the donation
of prizes by local business houses
to individual players on both
teams. Graduate Manager Hugh
Rosson announced last night that
there would be no admission
charge for the contest, and at
least 2,000 wild-eyed baseball
fans will be on deck.
Coach Bill Reinhart was hesi
tant to give his views on the Web
foot chances, but expressed hope
that the fine baseball weather con
tinues. The Webfoots are con
sidered head and shoulders above
the 1932 edition which held down
the cellar position in the North
west standings last year. The
weakest department on the team
at present is hitting, but once the
season gets under way the big
bats are sure to cause havoc in the
enemy ranks.
Eight Hurlers on Deck
Eight pitchers are now on the
varsity roster, but only three are
sure starters. Donin and Ed
Charles, the two lettermen, have
shown a great amount of stuff so
far. Ron Gemmell, a newcomer

Tongue, Suomela,
Busk Nominated
For ASUO Posts
Pinkstaff and Near Complete
Ticket; Minor Sports Plank
Plans Presented
At a regular student body meet
ing yesterday one person for each
position was nominated for A. S.
U. O. offices for the school year
which starts in the autumn. It
was the first time in many years
that only one candidate for each
post had appeared on nomination
day. No roll call was taken, thus
making the meeting legal. How
ever, two persons who made counts
reported to the Emerald that there
were less than the required 500
present; one said 2G8 attended;
the other reported his count to be
274.
The lone ticket nominated was
headed by Thomas H. Tongue, Ore
gana manager, of Hillsboro, for
president. Others placed on the
ballot were: Neal Bush, for vice
president; Nancy Suomela, for
secretary; Richard Near, for sen
ior man; Helen Burns, for senior
woman; and Myron Pinkstaff, for
junior man. All nominations were
made from the floor.
Tongue made a brief five-min
ute speech setting forth the major
points in his party's platform. He
promised to advocate a more elab
orate minor-sports program, point
ed out the value of a committee
to give the University and its pro
jects state-wide publicity, prom
ised cooperation with the adminis
tration in plans for the welfare of
the student body and pledged him
self and his party to serve the as
sociated students to'the best of
their ability if elected.
Amendments Read
Bob Hall, student body president,
who presided over the meeting,
then asked the vice-president, Wil
liam Bowerman, to read the pro
posed amendments to the A. S. U.
O. constitution. The amendments
introduced by the N. S. F. A. com
mittee, those submitted to the Em
erald and one other were read be
fore the assembly, as is required
in the constitution. The additional
amendment, specifying that mem
bership in the A. S. U. O. shall be
optional was turned to Hall by a
i student before the meeting. When
asked who had submitted it, the
student body president said he did

Treat W arns Against Making
Hasty Opinion on Far East
By ED STANLEY
Dr. Payson J. Treat of Stanford
university and one of the foremost
American authorities on the Far
East, speaking before a capacity
crowd in Villard hall last night on
the subject of "Possibilities and
Facts in Eastern Asia,” said, “The
educated citizen, who can exert an
influence for good in his commun
ity, should remember to suspend
judgment until further report. The
student should toil ceaselessly to
correct the hasty views of con
temporary writers by the use of
later and more reliable materials
and thus provide sound bases for
understanding.”
Dr. Treat pointed out that to
understand any one of the major
controversies between Japan and
China requires long and arduous
investigation, and that even the
best journalists cannot use costly
dispatches to set forth historical
matter when the news breaks,
there is little time to prepare care
ful reports to send by mail.
“When the Manchurian crisis
occurred on the 18th of Septem
ber, 1931,” said Dr. Treat, “the
press reports furnished no ade
quate basis for the formulation of
opinion as to why so trifling an
incident, as it appeared, should
have assumed such great signifi
cance.
“For the last 40 years, that is
since the outbreak of the war be
tween China and Japan, the Far
East has assumed front-page pro
portions at increasingly frequent
intervals. Bearing in mind the
difficulties involved in news gath
ering in countries where the cor
respondents rarely are familiar
with the spoken or written lan
guage, I am constantly impressed
with the able manner in which
the better newsqien perform their
arduous duties.

Huge Cast of'Winter’s Tale9
Is Selected by Ottilie Seybolt
Kings, queens, and courts will be |
in vogue when the Guild theatre j
players enact “A Winter’s Tale,”
Shakespeare’s romantic comedy
melodrama, as their spring term
production next month, it was an
nounced yesterday by Mrs. Ottilie
Turnbull Seybolt, director.
Shakespeare has crowded into j
this play a great diversity of char-!
acters. "A Winter’s Tale,” offers
a melodramatic tale of a jealous
king, a fairy tale prince, and prin
cess, a crowd of English shepherds
and their girls, a pickpocket, and
a way-side rogue.
The production requires an
enormous cast, a few of the prin
cipal characters being: Leontes,
the jealous king, which will be
played by Charles Shoemaker. His
queen, Hermiones, is played by
Daisy Swanton. Polixenes, king of
Bohemia, will be played by Ha
gan Moore and the part of Prince
Mamillius, the son of Leontes and
Hermione, will be taken by Lee
Stevenson.
Ty Hartmus will appear in the
character of Pauline, one of the
strongest woman characters in all
Shakespeare. The part of Antoly
cus, pickpocket and beggar, will
be taken by Ethan Newman.
Don Cor.frey and Louise Marvin
will portray the prince and prin
cess, Florizel and Perdita.
Heading the crowd of English
shpherds is the shepherfl clown,
shepherds is the shepherd clown,
part of the old shepherd will be
taken by Bill Thienes.
The shepherdesses, Mopsa and
Dorcas, are played by Beth Hurst
and Neva Lois Thompson, with
Gertrude Wilson in the dancing
group.
In the court of Leontes those
characters not mentioned previous
ly are A1 Culverwell, playing Ca
millo, counsellor to Leontes; Har
old Ge Bauer as Antigonus, the
character chosen to destroy the
king's infant daughter; Don Boyer
and Edwin Cruikshank as Cleo
menes and Dion; Michael Hogan,
Ron Rew and Willard Marsh as
gentlemen of Leontes’ court, and
Gay Pinkstaff as the court offi
cer in the trial scene.
Ladies of the court are Gretchen
Wintermeier, Violet Walters and
Alice Lively.
Ed Patton as the gaoler, Tom
McCall as the mariner and Burl
Evans as Father Time, complete
the cast.
This play is particularly adapt
ed to an outdoor production, due
to the huge cast, the long train of
courtiers, and the crowd of shep
herds and shepherdesses, but due
to the uncertainty of the weather
Mrs. Seybolt regrets that it will
be presented in the Guild theatre.

NEW MEN ARE READY
Interim Committee To Convene
To Aet Upon Names of
Brand anil MeUeod
The state board of higher edu
cation will convene in Portland
tomorrow at 1:30 o’clock for its
long-delayed meeting to decide
upon budgets for the 1933-34
school year. Eugene originally
was to have been the scene of the
session, but a message was re
ceived here last night from C. L.
Starr, president of the board, say
ing that a number of the members
found it impossible to attend if the
meeting w’ere elsewhere than in
Portland. The University club will
be the locale of the significant
session.
Another meeting of equal im
portance will be held in Portland
shortly before the board con
venes. The state senate interim
committee will gather to consider
Governor Meier’s two recent ap
pointments to the board—Charles
A. Brand of Roseburg and George
B. McLeod of Portland.
They’re All Ready
Should the interim committee
approve the new men, as is anti
cipated by those close to the
scene, Brand and McLeod will
make their formal debut as voting
members in the afternoon. Both
men have said they will be on
hand.
Brand and McLeod were named
to succeed Albert Burch and E. C.
Pease. The former resigned, the
: latter's term expired. Other board
members who will be present are
Starr, Fred C. Callisetr, Albany;
B. F. Irvine, Portland; E. C. Sam

land.
Mrs. Pierce Not Expected

her husband, Congressman W. M.
Pierce.
Budgets will be the principal
topic of discussion. Chancellor W.
J. Kerr was hard at work last
night getting material ready for
the meeting. The session is ex
pected to be an interesting one,
for legislative cuts have reduced
school funds so considrably that
the board faces a difficult prob
lem. Summer school also will be
discussed and decided upon.

omelete held the second social

I Kappa Gamma house last night.

Roustabouts Suffer Relapse
As Terrible Tongue fells Em
Bulletin
The Roustabouts, confined to j
their Inals at 4:53 this morning, j
suffered a relapse when it was
learned that Sen. Morse might
attend another 'I beta dance. The
rumor wus not confirmed by the
Emerald, hut several Roust
abouts were willing to make af
fidavit it was true.
By A. PASSING FANCY
Yesterday’s frenzied A. S. U. O. j
meeting was too much for the]
Roust abouts. The tremendous
croyvd present prostrated them
and they had to be dragged from
Gerlinger hall on stretchers. When
Tom Tongue arose and the quorum
of 280 students cheered deliriously
for almost a minute, Butch Morse
sVooned, collapsed, and was haul
ed from the room by the ears.
Tongue’s fiery speech, bristling
with terse facts and radical re
marks, was wonderful, according
to the Roustabouts.
The Roustabouts said they were
back again because they had
found Potter. Yes, found him!
“Fight on to Victory.” At this
point the music ceases and all is
quiet. The boys moved a box car
and found Potter under it playing
pinochle. Ey moving the car they
also spied the town of Ridgefield,
where Cliff is engaged in becom
ing rich and famous.
The Roustabouts also said they
would open permanent headquar
ters just off the University cam
pus in the near future. It will be
known as Criminy hall and all the
boys will wear checked suits and
derby hats and everything will be
lovely. (These are Jack Robert
son's exact words, with transla

Bruce Hamby, who has a smatter
