a ’ • . 0 • VOLUME XXXIV_ _ UNIVEP-SiTY~OF OREGON. EUGENE. WEDNESDAY. MAY 3, 1933 _ ~ ~ " ' NUMBER 100 Judiciary Body Maintains Its Original Ruling Committee States Stand In Reply to Council REASON FOR ACTION Judicial Powers Said To Guarantee Democratic Administration To All Students The judiciary committee stands by its original ruling. In answer to the executive council's recent interrogation, the committee de cided yesterday that it (the judi ciary committee) had the power to determine whether the execu tive council has “good and -suffi cient” reasons when it acts on a candidate for A. S. U. O. appoint ments. The council was of the opinion last week that the judiciary com mittee overstepped its bounds and authority when it stated it had the power to pass upon the coun cil’s reasons. Dave Wilson con demned such power in a brief talk at Thursday’s student body meet ing. Within Jurisdiction of Body However, the committee yester day decided that it is within the jurisdiction of the judiciary com mittee to pass upon the council's reasons. And there the matter stands. So far as is known, there is no group with the power or au thority to offset the ruling of the judiciary committee. Tfye judiciary committee’s re port said it had the power to pro tect members of the student body from being discriminated against should members of the A. S. U. O. government commit any unreason able acts. The committee said such protection was guaranteed by that rule which sets forth the “good and sufficient reason” statement. Paragraph All Important The report also pointed out that all students pay equal fees and that such a power in the hands of the judiciary committee guar antees a democratic administra tion. The paragraph wihch desig nates the facts follows: “In making its selections, the executive council has wide discre tionary powers, but those powers, as above indicated, are limited by the bounds of reason. What greater powers could the execu tive council wish ? Clearly greater powers are not granted to it by the constitution. Thus, if the ex ecutive council should disqualify an applicant for an A. S. U. O. position on the ground that said applicant is a Jew, or a negro, or a non-fraternity man, or wears a yellow necktie, or bases its rejec tion upon any other such frivo lous, capricious, or unreasonable ground, it then lies within the power and becomes the duty of the judiciary committee, upon ap peal duly made to said commit tee, to set aside the action of the executive council The judiciary committee of the A. S. U. O. would lose its character as a judicial body if it did not have the power to protect the members of the A. S. U. O. from the unreasonable acts of the officers, boards, and committees of the A. S. U. O. Such protection is guaranteed by that rule set forth in the decision of the judiciary committee to de termine when a petition is duly presented to it as whether or not the executive council rejected for good and sufficient reasons a rec ommendation of the publications committee.” The committee also showed, in the following paragraph, how the students can change by constitu tional amendment this authority of the judiciary committee if they desire to do so: “Obviously, if the members of the A. S. U. O. wish to limit the powers of the judiciary committee, they may do so by constitutional amendment. If they wish to change the personnel of the judi ciary committee by including on (Continued on Page Three) Tickets for Fete Seats Sell Rapidly; On Sale at Co-op |^ANOE fete, ticket sales have been mounting rapidly.

Secluded Mountain Hamlet Lures Pat Lucas, U. O. Grad By HENRIETTE HORAK j Pat Lucas came to the Univer-j sity of Oregon to be a doctor. He studied for three years, but the prospect of living in a city, look ing at coated tongues and listen ing to fluttering heart beats all[ his life was beyond endurance—' Pat went back to the mountains; last year; to the clear waters and blue skies of Agness; with him' went Erathuse Champlin, the Chi Omega he met, loved and married at the University. Never heard of Agness? Not the name of a girl—but a tiny, se cluded mountain hamlet on the lower Rogue river, tucked away from the world, without a high way or even a wagon road. Agness does not want a highway. The picturesque, unhurried mountain settlement lies 32 miles up the Rogue from Gold Beach. Here life goes on leisurely. There is no rush to get that 7:55 bus; no mad scramble to make the first show; no worry about how to make “both ends meet.” Most of the dwellers do very little work; they have enough money. There are few opportunities for spending it; no electric or gas bills to pay; no movies, no department stores or bargain basements; no gasoline or tire bills; the rent is‘very low, and taxes are practically non-ex istent. There is no "keeping up with the Joneses.” Everyone keeps a garden, and for the little cash necessary, one may earn it by helping to carry the mail from Gold Beach via boat to Agnes3 daily, work on the fed eral forest patrol occasionally, or by guiding, transporting and ca tering to tourists. Agness is, on the whole, a set tlement of the well-to-do—those who want to live leisurely—away from the din of the city, the smel of carbon monoxide, the stifling heat of the movie palaoes, and the halitosis, canned milk, silk under wear, and a million other bill boards that decorate the Unitec States landscape. * Oh, no, Agness isn’t completely isolated from the world; there i: a one-line telephone from Golc Eeach, and everyone listens in Supplies are brought into Agnes: on powerful 26-foot boats whicl ply the Rogue river; they carry everything from people, pianos sawmills, houses, to bridges.

There Was, for instance, the vol unteer fire squad, composed of Messrs. Clay Sherman and Ed Charles, amazing fire-fighters ex traordinary. Sprinting to the scene of the blaze, Messrs. Sherman and Char blaze, Messrs. Sherman and Charles determined they would save something. So they dashed into the burning building, climbed th^ narrow stairs to the second floor, and seized upon a cream colored chiffonier as the object most deserving of their deliver ance. With Sherman on the front end and Charles bringing up the rear they started to navigate the bulky object down the staircase and midway down they met Eu gene’s fire department rushing up with the hose. It was a situation to nonpluss the most nonchalant of college men -but it didn’t even budge the aplomb of Clay Sherman. There was an instant of suspended mo tion, while the flames licked deep er into the burning building. Then Sherman dropped his end of the chiffonier, thrust out his hand, and inquired in the friend liest of tones: "Want to wrestle?’ Beaux Arts Ball, Costume Event, Planned May PJ Bill Miller Chairman for Affaii At derlingcr; Tickets To Be on Sale Soon The, annual Beaux Arts bal sponsored by the Art league, wil be a fancy costume, masque af fair, the only one of its kind to bi sponsored this year, it was an noiiuced yesterday by Bill Miller who has been appointed genera chairman of the ball.

Clothes in Bag—Bag in PO—Cant Bag Ownei If some student has been wear ing a dirty shirt for the last ten or twelve days, and is beginning to wonder whether or not moth er has fallen down on him, he might try calling at the Eugene postoffice and identifying the articles in a laundry bag which has been held there for some time. Word of this case was sent to the University depot several days ago, but still no student has claimed it. The laundry case was sent from Portland, but it has no address on it, either for ward or return. Any student who can identify the clothing in it is welcome to take it away, according to Postmaster D.

Fair Co-ed Unmasks'Shamus5 And Reveals Really Nice Boy By ANN-REED BURNS “Shamus Hamby”—roustiest of the Roustabouts, and champion of I the radicalest of radical political tickets in private life Bruce Hamby, junior, and recently ap pointed managing editor of the Emerald, is quite a surprising per | sonality. Contrary to the expectations ol those who have read the ferocious outbursts of Shamus, aiias Joshua Little, alias A. Passing Fancy alias Matilda Belt-Buckle, Mr ' Hamby is a rather quiet, retiring person, who doesn’t resemble a thundering volcano in the least Over at the Emerald “shack,” he can’t be heard more than twe Begins Tomorrow in the Emerald A series of articles by the editor analyzing the tentative budget recently submitted to the board of higher education. READ THEM THEY CON CERN THE FATE OF YOUR SCHOOL! Every department will be discussed. I rooms away; and at the S. A. E. j house they say that he’s really not at all the rowdy radical of the Roustabouts. Mr. Hamby is an ace card player, being a member of the fa mous three-handed rummy club of “Spook" Robertson, Bud Van Dine, and Hamby himself. He reads “most any kind” of books when he has time—which isn't very often, since besides being sports editor of the Emerald, he is Eu gene representative of the Inter national News Service. The new managing editor has had plenty of newspaper experi ence. He edited the Grant high school paper in his native city, Portland. At present a junior, majoring in journalism, he has been working on the Emerald sports staff for three years, and has been sports editor for the last year. He has been University cor respondent for the Oregon Jour nal, and has given sports pro grams over radio station KORE. Sports, sports, and more sports seem to be the keynote of Mr. Hamby’s interests. When asked what he enjoyed most, besides newspaper work, he said, “I’d rather go to a good athletic event than anything I know of." When he was in high school he followed (Continual on Page Three) Papers Hint Board Revolt Against Kerr Mrs. Pierce Is Rumored Opposed to Chancellor FIGHT IS FORESEEN Woman Member Reported Ready To Try Ousting of E.x-OSC President and Starr PORTLAND, Or., May 2.—(Spe cial i Faint rumblings of a possi ble future rebellion on the state board of higher education, with Chanceller Kerr as the object and Mrs. Cornelia Marvin Pierce as'the instigator, have been heard hero by those who keep their ears to the ground. The first published report of the rumor was in Saturday’s Oregon Journal, which said there was a story abroad that Mrs. Pierce would return to the state for the late May meeting of the board. At that time the Journal said it was believed Mrs. Pierce would devote her time and efforts to replacing Dr. Kerr as chancellor and C. L. Starr as president. “That failing,” the Journal reported, “it is said she (Mrs. Pierce) intends to re sign her place. Voted Against Dr. Kerr At present Mrs. Pierce is in Washington, D. C., where she is secretary to her husband, Con gressman Walter M. Pierce, demo* crat., from eastern Oregon. Sever al times Mrs. Pierce has been men tioned as intending to resign her place on the board, but none of the reports has been true. Her term runs until 1940. She was one of those who voted against Dr. Kerr's installation as chancellor, the others being Fred Callister and E. C. Sammons. Albert Burch also was opposed vigorously to Dr. Kerr and stalked from the meeting at which the Oregon State president was named head of all the schools. He never came back, submitting his resignation in protest of the board’s action. For some time Mr. Sammons’ resignation also was hinted, but he eventually determined to stay on the board. Those who cast the ballots which won the high place for Dr. Kerr were B. F. Irvine, Al bert Pease, Herman Oliver, C. C. Colt and Starr. Some newspaper men, realizing Mrs. Pierce’s ru mored antipathy for the chancel lor, believe the fact that Starr backed Dr. Kerr is responsible for the rumors that Mrs. Pierce hopes to see a new president installed at the head of the board. New Members Figure The Journal also stated that the confirmation of George_.B. McLeod and Charles A. Brand as board members was thought to bode ill for Starr as president. The story further said that it was generally known Governor Julius L. Meier would like to see Starr “off the board entirely.” In its story of the recent board meeting Sunday, the Oregonian said the board members declined to discuss the report‘that Mrs. Pierce intended to war on the chancellor and Starr. In concluding the story which first mentioned the possibility of an imminent outbreak on the board, the Journal commented as follows: “It is because of this situation brewing in the future, so the guess ers have it, that the committee on confirmation agreed that the ac tion of today was ‘pregnant with political possibilities’ and also was the underlying reason for the agreement that meetings of the committee should be “in person” with all members present around the table and not by correspon dence or by proxy.” New Deal, No Date Dance Scheduled At ShoppeTonight / OREGON'S own presidential ^ candidate, who will go into office unopposed tomorrow, has determined that he will give his constituents a campaign dance anyhow, even if he has no com petition. So tonight at 8 o'clock Tom Tongue will be host at a “new deal, no-date, non-parti san, free dance" at the Campa Shoppe. Sherwood Burr, campus dance band leader, has promised to round up an eight-piece orches tra for the occasion. The dance has been duly registered with the dean of women, and will last until 10:30. The candidates on Tongue's ticket will be intro I duced. _
