Moot Trial Thursday Gives Case to Plaintiff The second session of the law school moot court was held Thursday evening in room 105 Oregon building. The law firm of Tom Chatburn and George Layman, representing the plain tiff, succeeded in winning a judgment of 5551.51 from the defendant, represented by Ken neth Proctor and Urlin Page. The damages were for injuries received in a fictitious auto ac cident on the Pacific highway. About 35 spectators attended the trial, and it was carried very successfully, according to Prof. Orlando Hollis, who acted as judge. However, the jury had great difficulty in reaching a verdict, as it was out about 45 minutes. Printers Professional Men Claims Walter R. Dimm, 77 “The business of being a master printer is just as much a profes sion as law or medicine. It is unfortunate that printers have not been classed as professional men,” said Walter R. Dimm, 1917 grad uate of the University and now a member of Sweeney, Straub, and Dimm, Portland printing firm, in a talk on the “Profession of a Master Printer" yesterday after noon to the background of pub lishing class in the Journalism building. When Dean Allen came to the University, Mr. Dimm was a jun ior, majoring in journalism. It was Dimm's honor to set up and print the first job ever issued at the University press. “The average ‘case’ printer who rose from the ranks of appren tice has deserved little profes sional recogntion,” stated Dimm. “His ability to give his clientile anything more than printed mat ter from copy furnished by the customer has been very limited. “The modern master printers, the majority of whom are college trained, must act as advisers on most any subject, and use print ing only as a vehicle to sell their customers goods or services." Dimm said that a printer must be a merchandiser of the first rank, and that there is little use in trying to get by just selling printed necessities. The printer must “specialize” to get ahead of competitors. In order to qualify as an “advertising” or “merchandising” printer, one must have an im mense store of basic information, in addition to technical printing information. “You can use all of the history, economics, law, psy chology, language, literature, and English you can stow away,” Dimm stated. He said that a technical knowl-1 edge of printing is essential to success, but the three “R’s” are absolutely necessary. "The romantic attraction,” Dimm said, “is great, the working hours are long, the nerve strain terrific and the pay is poor, but the satisfaction of real accom plishment makes up for all of its handicaps.” In Portland Mr. Dimm has spe cialized in the printing of flower and seed catalogs for the last ten years. In his talk yesterday, he described the various types of flower printing, and illustrated them with examples from his own, work. 1 Breakfast For Junior-Senior Girls Sunday Sausages, Rolls, Coffee Featured on Menu ALUMNI HALL SCENE Spring Motif To Be Carried Out In Decorations; Surprises Listed on Entertainment Fresh grapefruit, dainty emer lettes, he-man pork sausages, crisp potato chips, cinnamon rolls just like mother used to make, and full strength coffee are on the menu for the annual junior-senior break fast Sunday morning from 9:30 to 10:30 in Alumni hall of Gerlinger.

State Board Will Decide on School Budget Monday Finance Committee Expected To Iron Out Important Details Sunday PORTLAND, Ore., May 5— (Special)—At 1:10 p. m. Monday members of the state board of higher education will convene at the University club to decide upon a budget for the 1933-34 school year. Before them all this week has been a tentative program of financial appropriations presented last Saturday by Chancellor Kerr. At that time there was some sen timent for adopting the budget im mediately, but the majority of the members desired an extra eight days in which to investigate the matter. Most of the important details are expected to be taken care of Sunday afternoon when the fi nance committee is scheduled to meet to take preliminary action on the budget. Members of this all-important group are E. C. Sammons, chairman; C. C. Colt, and Herman Oliver. Their report will be brought before the board at Monday’s formal meeting. Other sub-committees will report out on matters of lesser impor tance at the same time. The tentatitve budget has been the object of considerable pro-and con discussion since its appear ance. Numerous University ad herents have objected strenuously to the allotment for their school, claiming it is far out of propor tion to that accorded Oregon State college, where enrollment ;3 now less than that on the Eugene campus. Those taking exception to the appropriations for the Uni versity say the Oregon deans and instructors have slashed their in dividual budgets to the bone, but claim those at Oregon State have not done likewise. The University cohorts declare the figures and facts substantiate their case.

Laiv School Rebellion Against Officers Looms Rumors of rebellion run ram pant these days in the law school as whisperings of a spe cial meeting of the law student body circulate. Owing to the lack of inclination on the part of the present student body of ficers to call a meeting to take up certain pressing business, op posing factions have threatened to call, without consent of the president, a meeting some time in the near future. Preston Gunther is president of the law student body, Ernie Burrows is secretary, Bill Dash ney, treasurer, John Yerko vitch, sergeant-at-arms, and Jack Hempstead, barber. • Such business as election of officers, dance, and the annual ball game with the business ad mniistration school has been i grossly neglected, declare mem bers of the complaining group.

Co-ed May Get Editor Position Of ’34 Oregana Publication Group Piekq Madeleine Gilbert DECISION NOT FINAL Executive i our.eil Will Consider Applications Within Near Future The publications committee yes terday recommended Medeleine Gilbert to the executive council for the position of Oregana editor for 1933-34, it was announced last night by Bob Hall, chairman of the committee. Although the committee was unanimous in its recommendation, the appointment is not final until passed upon by the executive coun cil. However, no opposition is an ticipated. Applicant Is Experienced Miss Gilbert is a junior in sociol ogy and is an honor student. She has had considerable experience on the Emerald and the Oregana. She is a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority. Should she be appointed to the post she will be the second woman editor in two years, since Virginia Wentz has been head of the year book this year. Eight other students had presented appli cations. At the outset, when the publica tions committee asked for appli cations only two students were in the field for the position those of Bob Zurcher and Parks Hitchcock. Zurcher was recommended to the post, but it was found that he was ineligible because of scholastic re quirements. Hitchcock was then put up for the position but the executive council ruled him out because its members were not sat isfied that they had the best can didate and wanted a wider field from which to choose. Lists Were Reopened After the matter was presented to the judiciary committee, which seemed satisfied with the applica tion, the executive committee de cided to reopen the lists and call for more candidates. The yearbook post has kept the executive coun cil and the publications committee in turmoil since April 20, when applications were first submitted. Ontliank Speaks To Mothers’ Club Karl W.

Dean Onthank spoke on the work under way at the University and participated in a discussion on University problems and policies. Tongue Feels Need for Rest After Hearing Election News Twenty-one years ago T. H. Tongue of Hillsboro gazed upon his young son and exclaimed proudly, “Some day he’ll be presi dent!” True enough, that baby, now grown into a tall brunette, was de stined to be chosen by students at the University of Oregon as their leader for 1933-34. His first thought after being of ficially informed of his election was “rest.” For Tom is tired. After all, when the first feelings of relief and pride are realized, there must descend upon a newly elected president a great f eling of responsibility. And Tom real izes this. He emphasizes the fact that he feels that the presidency is not merely an honor -that it is an opportunity to exert one’s powers at the head of an organi zation and to fulfill certain quali fications which are not necessarily light in weight. He was extremely modest about the election. In fact, he seemed U little bit embarrassed when questioned about how it feels to be president of such an institution. Tom Tongue enters office next fall under circumstances not un like those President Roosevelt faced. Budgets must be balanced, amendments must be considered, there must be cooperation between officials and the publications, and a spirit of good-will must be established. Tom has great plans for next year. "The biggest job confronting the administration is the building up of school spirit," he 3aid, illustrat ing his statement with the explan ation that Joe College is a thing of the past, and has returned to high school or is editing jokes for “College Humor.” Students now enrolled in the school still have spirit, Tom believes, but it is a more serious, subdued feeling. This spring and summer Tom will work with a committee ap pointed for the purpose of revising the constitution. Tom feels that some of the amendments are good, but that others must be cleared up, so that there will be no chances for misinterpretation. As for athletics, the new presi dent is in favor of reinstating minor sports—golf, tennis, and swimming on a self-supporting basis. He is for the continuation of intramural sports, and the awarding of championship cups. He will work for the starting of an organization which will work in conjunction with the admini (Continued on Page Four)
