First Pacific Law Institute To Meet Here This Summer Two years ago Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law school, submitted to President Arnold Bennett Hall a proposal that there be estab lished on the Pacific coast a sum mer institute of Law and the Ad ministration of Justice. The plan called for an institute of 10 days’ duration, to which members of the bench and bar of Oregon, as well as social scientists in the fields of sociology, psychology, history, eco nomics, and political science, would be invited. The purpose was to promote the exchange of contributions of the various social science disciplines with the law. It is Dean Morse’s opinion that members of the bench and bar are desirous of adminis tering the law so as to give effect to scientific findings in the field [ of social science. President Hall endorsed the pro posal but economic conditions have prevented its acceptance. At a meeting of the Pacific Coast Regional Committee of the Social Science Research Council last March, Dean Morse presented his proposal and the council re ceived it most favorably. It de cided to adopt the institute pro posal as one of the projects of the council and to extend its in fluence to the whole Pacific coast area. Dean Morse has been appointed chairman of the first institute, which the council plans to hold in Eugene in conjunction with the University of Oregon Law sum mer school during the summer of 1934. Classes Excused On Memorial Day, Tuesday, May 30 rpUESDAY, May 30. Memorial A day, will be a holiday and no classes will be held, it was announced by the registrar's of fice.

Body Crumbaker Is Slated as Judiciary Member SELECTIONS NAMED Chancellor Kerr's Letter Tells of l’allett's Decision; Campus Lenders Pleased Earl M. Pallett is no longer a member of the judiciary commit tee of the associated students. A letter from Chancellor Kerr to Tom Tongue, new student body prexy, indicated yesterday that Dr. Calvin Crumbaker would re place the executive secretary of the institution on the judiciary committee. The letter said, in part; "... Some time ago Mr. Pallett indi cated to me that he desired to ap point some member of the faculty in his pla.ce on the judiciary com mittee because of the heavy re sponsibility placed upon him in connection with his duties on both the executive council and judiciary committee. I understand Mr. Pal lett has appointed Dr. Calvin Crumbaker as his representative on the judiciary committee for the coming year.’’ Students liaise Protest Yesterday a group of represen tative students, headed by Thorn ton Gale, Sterling Green, Cecil Espy, Dick Neuberger, Ned Kin ney, John King, Jack Cate, Chuck Wishard, Doug Polivka, Butch Morse and Dave Wilson, said they thought one man should not be represented in both the executive and judicial branches of govern ment. The matter was first brought up by the Emerald a week ago, when It was pointed out editorially that one person’s serving on both the legislative and judicial branches was in direct violation of an under lying principle of the United States government. Emerald Editor* Pleased Neuberger, whp first brought up the issue, said last flight, when in formed of the chancellor's letter; "While it would have been more to the letter of the argument for Mr. Pallett to have withdrawn from the executive council, his res (Continued on Pot/e Two) Is Named Murray Warner Winner Senior In History Given $250 for Paper on Conflict Over Manchuria Edgar Goodnough, senior history major and recently elected Phi Beta Kappa, was yesterday declar ed the winner of the first prize of $250.00 in the Murray Warner Essay contest with his paper, "The Struggle for Manchuria Dur ing the World War.” The commit tee of judges, Dr. Samuel Jame son, Dr. Victor Morris, and Dr. Harold J. Noble, chairman, were high in their praises of the essays submitted. The second prize of $50 in the American division was won by Betty Anne Macduff, senior in journalism and also recently elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Her (Continued on Page Two) Goodnough ANNOUNCEMENT! FTER considerable (lelilifra / * tion and thought, we have derided definitely that, the Em erald will not publish a special edition this year, advertising the advantages of the Univer sity for high seliool students. Such a projeet was undertaken at the state eollege several weeks ago, when a large edi tion of the Barometer, eontain- | ing eomplete Information on the state eollege, was sent out to the various high sehools. We believe the sehool paper should not In' used as an organ of advertisement, and also be- i Ueve that the University does not require that sort of adver tising. If the state college wishes to do so, that is its busi ness and we have no eoniment to make. For some time the state board of higher edueation enforced a ruling against the recruiting of high school stu dents. Regardless of whether that is still in effect, we will do our utmost to observe it. The other sehools of the sys tem may do what they like. (Signed) RICHARD L. NEUBERGER, Editor STERLING F. GREEN, Editor-Elect Novel Pledge Plan For Fraternities To Be Used Here Interfraternity Council Adopts System To Be Founded on Decile Uutings Fraternities on the University of Oregon campus will select pledges during the fall term of next year with an entirely new system of pledging known as the Oregon system of selective rush ing, it was announced by the In terfraternity council last night. The plan is still tentative and may je changed radically after or be fore it has been given a trial. The Oregon system of selective rushing makes use of the decile system as a basis of selection in determining who is eligible for pledging. Men entering school are given a psychology examination on the first day of rush week, and as the decile system is composed of 10 different ratings, fraterni ties will be able to pledge -only those in the upper nine ratings. Psychology examinations will be completed and compiled by Wednesday so eligible men may pledge on Friday of rush week as heretofore. Those men in the lowest 10 per cent will be eligible for pledging at the end of the first term of school if they have made a grade point average of .75 in 12 hours or more. They may then be also pledged in any subsequent quarter that the .75 grade average is ful filled. Only Plan of Kind This is the only plan of its kind in the nation’s colleges and is a modified plan of deferred pledg ing. The committee appointed to work on the plan spent five months in preparing data and made an ex haustive survey of deferred rush ing plans of every campus in the United States. Members of the committee are Ferd Fletcher, chairman, Harry Schenk, Parker Favier, Robert Hammond, and Preston Gunther. In commenting on the plan, Fletcher said: "This plan combines all of the good features of both extremes, and its adoption by the Interfra (Continued on Pane Two) 6Green Goose9 Will Reveal Awful Truth Next Friday The "Green Goose,” premier campus scandal publication pro duced each year by Sigma Delta Chi, men's professional journalism fraternity, will blast the Univer sity to its very foundations when it appears next Friday, May 26, with four heartless pages of startling revelations. Your best friends may not tell, but the "Green Goose" will. It matters not whether a clandestine love affair or an incorrigible case of halitosis be your affliction or your friends’ the “Green Goose” will find you out! None may seek favors. None may hope to be spared. If there is a shady spot in the whole of your makeup, be ware! Faculty, student body of ficers, University officials, men, women, all will be shriveled and 1 burned to their real dimensions in the merciless glare of the soot light of truth. Next Friday morning the "Green Goose” will crack wide the butt ress of false propriety, rip asun der the veil of sham decency, shatter the mockery of prudish pretensions, and lay bare the aw ful truth. For the first time this year familiar characters, thought to be respectable, will be forced to shed the only half-concealing cloak of make-believe and stand forth as they really are unpro tected from the searching scrutiny of campus eyes. A newsstand will be set up somewhere in the vicinity of the old libe, news venders will cry out upon the streets. Get yoyr copy early, if you would know the truth about your old pal, John, or that sweet gal, Mary.
