ALL those seniors who have
neglected to order caps and

Arrive at Plan to
Aid Senior Class
Cap and Ci o w n Order May
Be Applied on $10
Breakage Fund
Seniors who have been having
difficulty in figuring out just how
they will finance graduation will
see a ray of hope in the announce
ment yesterday by Marion Mc
Clain, manager of the Co-op, and
Orville Lindstrcm, business man
ager of the University, that stu
dents may apply part of the $10
deposit on the obtaining of caps
and gowns. Their announcement
follows:
"The University Co-operative
store in conjunction with the Uni
versity business office is pleased
to announce that the $10 general
deposit made by each student at
the time of registration may be
used in renting caps and gowns
for the coming graduation.
"Instead of requiring each stu
dent to deposit $2 when the caps
and gowns are issued, the students
wili be allowed to have this
charged to their general deposit.
This arrangement has been made
in the interests of students who
find themselves in financial diffi
culties, and we sincerely invite
students who may be kept from
participating in graduation exer
cises on account of lack of funds
to make use of this privilege.”
Mr. McClain asked that stu
dents who want to go through
with commencement and are de
terred from ordering caps and
gowns because of financial strin
gencies see him today. He be
lieves that arrangements can be
made whereby such students may
order caps and gowns.

Big 'He Men’ Turn 'Pansy'
> For Men's Emerald Edition
Society and women’s news will
not suffer tomorrow, although the
co-eds will take a holiday and let
the men publish the annual Men’s
edition of the Emerald. In fact,
a whole paper could be put out
on society and kindred subjects
were there enough news as there
are enough up-and-coming society
reporters.
Malcolm Bauer, whose antipa
thy to women and dancing was
made known in the Frosh Emer
ald, will edit the society news.
Several members of the staff
nearly succumbed when the well
known “Shamus” Hamby made
known his intentions of becoming
assistant society editor. Barney
Clark has signed up for women’s
' editor, Ned Simpson wants to take
care of fashions, Roland Parks
will handle advice to the lovelorn
I and recipes, if he has any, and
I Bob Butler insists upon a place
j on the society staff.
Oscar Munger, editor for the
; edition, would not sa ydefinitely
last night just what kind of com
promises would be made, for he
! finds a complete roster for the
1 editorial board and upper news
; staff and very few reporters.
Among those who offered to
gather the news was Sterling
i Green, who has chosen the in
' firmary as his beat.
| Jupe Prescott, Steve Kahn, Jack
Bellinger, and Bob Guild have al
ready been selected for the edi
torial board. Ed Stanley will be
managing editor; Doug Polivka,
news editor; Ralph Mason, copy
editor; Bob Couch, night editor;
Joe Saslavsky, sports editor.
Dr. Sheldon Believes New
Hitler Regime Temporary
By FRANCES HARDY
"I am disappointed in the Ger
mans for repudiating their prin
ciples of liberal and democratic
government, but it will probably
be only temporary,” stated Dr. H.
D. Sheldon, professor of history
and education, last night in com
menting on the new Hitler re
gime in Germany.
Dr. Sheldon believes that the
new dictator has, so far, imitated
Mussolini in treating his political
opponents with a strong arm
and in many cases has been rather
unscrupulous. Whether he has
the drive apd lasting abijity to
maintain this stand rerpain? to be
seen. , ■ ■
“Hitler is a man of energy, of
extraordinary ability as an or
ganizer, and an agitator in gen
eral. He started as nobody, was
backed by those of his own real
class, and in pacifying these in
tolerant people has done some
questionable things. He has in
dulged in racial persecution with
very little excuse.”
When asked if he believed that
the Hitler rule is a step upward
for Germany, Dr. Sheldon said,
“No! It is a state of degenera
tion. Any state that has to sub
mit to a charleton like him, is
badly off.”
The persecution of the Jews has
been merely a means of pacifying
followers. In order to secure
votes he talked against the Jews
and after his election has followed
through in order to keep faith
with his followers. Dr. Sheldon
does not believe the Jews have
been actually hurt much. Hitler
is intelligent and realizes that at
some time he may need their
financial aid, but it is an easy
matter to blame them for the
present economic situation.
‘‘The idea of purification of na
tional culture is plain bunk,” add
ed. Dr. Sheldon. "If they perse
cuted all foreign races out of Ger
many they would find the culture
gone also. It is just an example
of the same kind of romantic con
ceit and egoism that causes Ger
man literature to be printed in
Gothic type, and the handwriting
to be so ornate.”
Dr. Sheldon concluded that Hit
ler will not fight unless all the
odds are on his side. His big
talking is his chief success.
Whether he is a second Mussolini
cannot yet be determined. It is
too early to know.

from the University administration
by electing a student to the posi
tion of president and broke a pre
cedent in force since the council

than a student. Dean Earl was
elected to fill the capacity of ad
visor of the council.

vice-president; Nancy Suomela,
Portland, secretary; Helen Burns,
Portland, senior woman; Dick
Near, Eugene, senior man; and
Myron Pinkstaff, Eugene, junior

In one of the most listless elec
tions the campus has witnessed in
many years, slightly more than
one-fifth of the student body trek
ked to the polls yesterday to make
the decision as to whom should
compose the Co-op board, the sole
office for which competition exist
ed, and to vote on a set of pro
posed constitutional amendments
The selecting of the ticket headed
by Tom Tongue was a mere for
mality, there being only one candi
date for each post on the executive
council. The only sprightly fea
ture of an otherwise drab elec
tion was the sudden descent of the
judiciary committee on the polls
with orders for the removal of
numbers from the ballots.
Bill Bowerman, vice-president, of
the Associated Students and chair
man of the election, defended the
numbering of the ballots when
early voters criticized the practice.
He claimed it facilitated keeping
track of the number of candidates
for each office. The judiciary
committee, upon learning of the
matter, called upon Bowerman and
insisted on clipping all the num
bers from the ballots, remarking
that numbers constituted a means
of identification and violated the
guaranteed secrecy of franchise.

Paper Decried
Disapproval Resolution
Passed Unanimously
R E B U K E ACCEPTED
Wilson Admits Action; Copy Sent
To Discipline Committee
And Daily Emerald
The publications committee of
the A. S. U. O. yesterday unani
mously adopted a resolution con
demning Dave Wilson and “other
unknown parties” for their part
in inserting unauthorized mimeo
graphed sheets in yesterday's is
sue of the Oregon Daily Emerald.
The committee also ordered that
a copy of the resolution be sent
to the discipline committee and
that another copy be published in
this morning’s Emerald. The
graduate manager’s office accord
ingly sent a copy to the discipline
committee and to Dick Neuber
ger, Emerald editor, who promised
to publish the resolution in the
paper.
The resolution stated that Wil
son, who admitted his part with
out hesitancy when questioned,
and his aides inserted the sheets
while the Emeralds were stacked
in the University press building,
which is the property of the state
board of higher education. It fur
ther stated that the act was done
without the sanction or permis
sion of either the publications
committee or any responsible
member of the Emerald staff. It
was feared by some that similar
deeds in the future might lead
to difficulty with the United
States government because of the
confusion in mailing regulations.

A TTENTION, senior girls!
The committee in charge of
the annual junior-senior break
fast has been unable to contact
all unaffiliated senior girls liv
ing off the campus to arrange
for junior partners to take
them to the breakfast.
All senior girls are invited to
attend, and those who have not
been reached are urged to sign
up at the Y. W. bungalow, and
arrangements will be made for
escorts.
The breakfast is to be held
Sunday, May 7, from 9:30 to
10:30 in Alumni hall of Ger
linger. Virginia Hartje, chair
man, urges all senior women
not contacted to register.
'A Winter’s Tale’ Is Spring
Production of Drama Class
‘‘A Winter’s Tale,” the spring
production of the drama depart
ment, promises to be a colorful
spectacle, according to announce
ments made yesterday by Mrs.
Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt, director.
The leading roles are being
taken by experienced actors, who
have all appeared before in plays
given on this campus. The part
of Leontes, King of Sicilia, will be
played by Charles Shoemaker, who
recently appeared to good effect
as the handsome and undisci
plined brother in Berkeley Square.
Polixenes, King of Bohemia, on
whom Leontes wreaks his unjust ]
vengeance, will be played by Ha
gan Moore, who recently appeared
as the drunken Duke of Cumber
land in Berkeley Square.
The part of Autolycus, the way
side rogue, pickpocket, and beg
gar, will be taken by Ethan New
man, who for four years has
played his way through roles of
various sorts and sizes. This is
a true Elizabethan portrayal, and
one of Shakespeare's most indi
vidual characters.
The part of Paulina will be
taken by Ty Hartmus, who has
already jumped from the hard
boiled but soft-hearted May Dan
iels of “Once in a Lifetime” to
the fragile and timid housekeeper
in Berkeley Square. This part
is one of the strongest women
characters in all Shakespeare.
Hermione, the Queen, will be
played by Daisy Swanton, remem
bered especially as Helen Hobart,
the feature writer of “Once in a
Lifetime."
Don Confrey will portray Prince
