Talk by German
Consul Slated for
Villard at 8 P. M.
Internatioal Relations Club Will
Sponsor Dr. W. L. Reinhart
In Assembly Tonight
“The Ideas and Principles Gov
erning Present Day Germany” is
the topic on which Dr. W. L. Rein
hart, German consul in Seattle,
will speak this evening at 8 in Vil
lard assembly, under the auspices
of the International Relations club,
of which Dr. Victor P. Morris is
chairman.
Although Dr. Reinhart has not
been in Germany for some time,
he has kdpt close contact with sit
uations, both economic and politi
cal, in that country.
Dean Onthank stated that his
talk should be most interesting and
valuable to students and faculty
members of the University as well
as the general public. ,
Several members of the Univer
sity faculty are acquainted with
Dr. Reinhart, having met him when
he was consul at Portland a num
ber of years ago.
It is understood that the Ger
man consul has been recalled to
Germany to be assigned to work
in some other country and that he
expects to leave in the near future.
His lecture this evening will be
the first of a series of talks on
foreign countries which are to be
held here from time to time, spon
sored by the International Rela
tions club. Dr. Reinhart himself
wrill speak at a later date on the
| German poet, Goethe.
Round Table Club
Hears Henderson
Dr. L. F. Henderson, curator of
the herbarium in Condon hall,
spoke Tuesday evening at the
meeting of the Round Table club
in Eugene, on the subject of “Re
construction in the South follow
ing the Civil War.” Dr. Hender
son lived in the South immediate
ly-after the Civil war and is thus
well euipped to discuss that sub
ject.
The Round Table club is com
posed of 25 selected members of
the University faculty and 25 men
in Eugene who are graduates of
the University. It is an interesting
coincidence that the club has been
organized for 25 years.'. °°
E. E. DeCou, professor of mathe
matics, is the president of the club
for the present year.
Poets Called in to Describe
Charming Entrant in Contest
By HENRIETTE HORAK
“She was a phantom of delight, |
When first she gleamed upon my
sight”—charming, vivacious, yet
possessing dignity and poise—a fit j
subject to inspire poets and
“launch a thousand ships” is
Marytine New, one of the five j
girls chosen Saturday at the Var-1
sity ball for the University maga
zine All-American girl contest.
Miss New is a petite blonde, has
blue eyes, and is five feet, two
inches tall (at least three inches
taller when wearing French heels.)
She is well accustomed to the
role of queen and leading lady.
While attending Grant high school
in Portland she was prominent in
dramatic circles, took parts in
Grant plays, and also was the lead
ing lady playing opposite Bobby
Grayson, the Jefferson football
marvel, in “Rivals," a movie pro
duced in Portland.
Miss New speaks with a soft
low voice, which is pleasing to the
ear, and carries well. It has won
her many laurels in city oratorical
contests.
She is a junior at the Univer
sity, majoring in English. Any su
perstitions or favorite fables?—
“None.” Miss New', during her;
tw’o years in college, has so thor-;
oughly assimilated the scientific!
method, that she shrugs a should

YWCA Situation
Becomes Normal
After Hectic Days
Dispute Ended as Far as Campus
Is Concerned, Say Both
Warring Factions
Conditions at the campus Y. W.
C. A. appeared to have returned
to normal yesterday, following the
resignation of four Y.W.C.A. cabi
net members last Monday and
Tuesday, due to a dispute over
this year’s budget.
The publication of statements of
Helen Binford, president of the
campus Y. W. C. A., and Geraldine
Hickson, president of the upper
class commission, in the Emerald
yesterday, defending the cabinet
from charges preferred by the re
signing members, together with
explanations from Jean Failing,
Gwen Elsemore, and Mary Snider,
three of the resigned cabinet mem
bers, appeared to have quieted the
situation on the campus.
Miss Binford last night made
the following statement to the
Emerald in regard to Tuesday’s
developments in the dispute:
“Everything is settled as far
as the campus is concerned. Every
one who has been involved is quite
satisfied to let the matter remain
as it now stands.’’
The four resigned members of
the cabinet, including Marygolde
Hardison, told the Emerald last
night that they believed the situa
tion ended as far as they were
concerned.
Conklin Talks at Meet
Of University Mothers
Dr.. E. S. Conklin, head of the
psychology department, spoke to
the University Mothers Tuesday
on the subject of false reports
which circulate regarding student
behavior.
He stressed also the importance
of a student schedule and told the
mothers about the classes and
work being done here.
Midnight Paint Party
Bestows Annual Daub
Upon Historic Bench
The senior bench received its
annual daubing of green paint
last night, and as in former
years the Emerald was ap
prised of the fact by anony
mous phone calls by the per
petrators.
The bench was marked with
the numerals “ ’37.’’ The paint
ing, ostensibly done by fresh
men, was carried on about 11
o'clock.

y an album of Oregon
pictut inearthed recently in the
registrar's office by Clifford L.
Constance, assistant registrar.
Many views of Oregon’s first
two buildings, Villard and DeaSy,
are included in the album. Inte
riors as well as exteriors are
shown, depicting the oldest build
ings on the campus as they were
many years ago. The tall trees
under which students now stroll
are shown in these photography
when they were so small that they
can hardly be said to look other
than ridiculous.
Eleventh and Thirteenth streets,
now two busy highways, appear in
the pictures as narrow' dirt roads.
Several small buildings are pic
tured that exist no more, such as
the old gymnasium, where Eill
Hayward taught both men’s and
women’s gym.
The album was sent to the li
brary last week by Constance and
will be added to the University of
Oregon collection there.
Football Rally to
Be Staged at 4:45
In Front of Co-op
Celebration Will Be Continued at
Station; Band to Give
Noisy Sendoff
“The greatest rally that Oregon
has ever seen" are Mickey Vail's
own words for the celebration that
the rally committee is planning to
hold in front of the Co-op begin
ning at 4:45 today.
The inimitable Mickey and his
able assistants are not sparing the
horses, and all that remains for
the rally to be a big success is
the fullest cooperation by Oregon
students.
After all the possibilities for a
big noise are exhausted at the Col
lege Side there will be a general
exodus to the station, where an
other attempt will be made to im
press on the city of Eugene that
something is happening, with the
purpose of giving the team a noisy
sendoff. The band will be on hand
to take a large part in the fes
tivities.
Plans were completed at a
meeting of the speakers’ commit
tee yesterday for an organized
canvass of living groups to adver
tise the rally. Speakers, under
the direction of Bill Davis, chair
man of the committee, will call at
each house during the lunch hour
to make every attempt to get as
large a turnout as possible.
Another rai'y is planned to wel
come the team at the station in
Seattle upon its arrival there.

Here Is Hysterical History
About an Admirable Admiral
By ONE WHO SHOULD KNOW
BETTER
Once upon a time, my (our?)
dear kids, there was a Genoese
guy named Christoforo Colombo.
He was a weaver but after 20
years of sea life he fancied him
self as an explorer. He went after
the big bugs in the countries close
by to let him be an admiral and
find some new lands for them.
When he went to Spain after
cooling his heels in the waiting
rooms roundabout—he got to be
admiral and have three ships, the
Pinta, the Nina, and the Santa
Maria. Then his name was Cristo
bal Colon.
With 120 men, 90 of them sail
ors, most of them picked from the
favorite jails of Spain, he poled
his scows out from Palos (not
Palo Alto), on August 3, 1492.
On October 12 (same year) he
landed on an island somewhere in
the West Indies.
Americus Vespucius and others
followed, including a few pilgrims,
patroons, cavaliers, puritans, and
other communists (as the D.A.R.
sisters might have said if they’d
been there at a state convention.)
Then the Genoese guy’s name
was Christopher Columbus. And
some do say today’s a holiday at
banks, post offices, ant court
houses—but not the University of
Oregon.
