Gamma Alpha Chi Dance to Feature Fashion Parade Many Eligible Males Still UnasUed; Get Your Man Early and Avoid the Rush According to latest tabulations, there yet remain 832 eligible male students to be invited to the Gam ma Alpha Chi fashion dance, scheduled for this Saturday eve ning at the Kokonut Grove. This dance is the first one to be given this year to which the women in vite the men, hence the abundance of men students still awaiting to attend. Rumor has it that no small number of the yet uninvited men will be asked, but that the women students are taking this oppor tunity to use on the men the dat ing tactics heretofore and all oth er times used by the male sex ex clusively. The size of the Grove has neces sitated the restriction of attend ance at the dance, so it has been planned to admit only 300 couples. Tickets on sale in the women's living organizations were practi cally sold out within five minutes (Continued oh Page Tioo) Radical Club Has New Constitution “Is It War, Mr. Roosevelt?” is the subject of a talk to be given on April 23 by Monroe M.

New AWS President Active In University and YWCA By HENRIETTE HORAK Iintroducing Miss Catherine Cole man, new president of the asso ciated women students! Madam president is a junior and a sociol ogy major. She received the news of her election with joy, and ex pressed herself as being happy to have been the choice and winner at yesterday's polls. “I will try to live up to the honor and responsibility the girls have placed upon me jn electing me to the office,” she stated in an interview yesterday. Miss Coleman has been active in activities of the associated stu dents, and has served on many committees and directorates. She , came to the University from Uni versity high school in Eugene, where she took a prominent part in activities, was president of the girls’ league, and awarded the girls’ league cup for being the most outstanding woman in the school. At^ the University she has been active in Y. W. work, and promi nent in the affairs of the Ton queds. She is a member of Phi Theta Upsilon, the A. W. S. cabi net, participated in the arrange ments for Dad's day, hot cross bun sales, the waffle luncheon, the Wedding Belles pageant, Coed Ca pers, the A. W. S. masked ball, several doughnut sales, and will be in charge of registration for Mother’s day this year. Miss Coleman is a charming “petite" miss, and when inter viewed late yesterday looked im maculate and the very essence of spring in a white* sports outfit. She has brown hair and eyes, is not tall, but then we are reminded, neither was Napoleon tall, nor Caesar, and not* even Alexander the Great! She is a confirmed Oregonian, and likes the country even in spite of the excessive rain—but then, Miss Coleman likes to swim! After graduation she plans to go into social work, and would like to enter the field of juvenile de linquency, but if she cannot get into that field, Miss Coleman de clared she would take any job of fered. She was born in Eugene, and feels very much at home at the University, since both her parents are graduates, and now proud alumni.

I New Members Added to ASUO Lists Total 39 Installment Pledge Used I5y 25 Students 14 PAY FEE IN CASH Committee in Charge of Drive Is Divided Into Two Groups IJy Tom Tongue — I Thirty-nine students yesterday paid their $5 A.S.U.O. fees as the organized drive for student mem bership definitely got underway on the campus. Figures from the business office showed that 25 of the new members took advantage of the installment pledge blank provided them, while the remain ing 14 paid cash. As the campaign made its first advance, Tom Tongue, student body president, reorganized the A.S.U.O. forces in an effort to handle the situation from all an gles. The first student commit tee working in conjunction with the graduate manager's office in launching the campaign was di vided into two separate groups, one to conduct the drive for mem bership and the other to super vise the detailed checking necessi tated by the wide scope of activi ties involved. The campaign committee is com posed of Malcolm Bauer, chair man, Joe Renner, Ralph Schomp, Roberta Moody, and Bob Miller. The other group, whose work it will be to draw a line of distinc tion between members and non members and to regulate the dis criminations involved, will be headed by Bill Russell. Aiding Russell will be Marygolde Hardi son, Don Thomas, Don Thompson, and A dele Sheehy. Despite extended articles of ex planation in the Emerald, student leaders report that many of those who are non-members are still un aware of the significance of mem bership. To aid in clearing up this uncertainty the student speaker's committee tomorrow will talk be fore the various living organiza tions, explaining the privileges of membership and the proci\> in volved in gaining such member ship.

Complaints on Failure To Receive Emeralds May Be Fixed on Igloo Many students who have paid their A. S. U. O. fees are com plaining because they are not receiving their Emeralds at the living organizations. This com plaint may be remedied by call ing the Emerald business office at McArthur court, where the error will be corrected. This situation is due mainly to late registration, but will be remedied by Saturday noon, the last day for registration. Stu dents not receiving their papers may obtain them by presenting their student body ticket at the Co-op until further arrange ments have been made. A few student body members have failed to come for their Emeralds at the Co-op, where they are distributed from 7:45 until 10 a. m. Bovard Presents Plan for Complete Control by Faculty Idea Offered to Committee Named By C. V. Boyer to Suggest Possible Solutions Dean John F. Bovard of the school of physical education last night presented a plan for the complete reorganization of student activities which would wipe out the A. S. TJ. O. as now consti tuted and end student government 'as hitherto maintained on the University campus. The proposal was submitted to a committee of 11 persons named by President C. V. Boyer to con sider possible suggestions for re alignment of student activities in order to solve the legal difficulties facing the student association fol lowing the attorney general’s re cent opinion on student fees. The Bovard plan calls for the placing of financial and adminis trative supervision for each stu dent activity under the University school or department whode work it most closely parallels; for in stance, operation of football, bas ketball, track and other athletic functions would be included under the direction of the department of physical education. The Em erald and Oregana would be placed under control of the dean of the school of journalism; debate would be handled by the department of English; band, orchestra, concerts schedule, and so forth, would be administered by the dean of the school of music. Over all, Dean Bovard suggest ed, would be placed a "student fee commission," composed of repre sentatives of the faculty, business office and students, which would allocate funds from student fees among the various activities. The dean of each department would be assisted in the administration of his special extra-curricular activ ity by an "advisory board,” com posed of faculty members, repre sentatives of the University alum ni, and students. Dean BoVard’s plan, presented in some detail, aroused a storm of discussion and controversy, and called forth half a dozen other proposals from the group in at tendance. Taking part in the discussion (Continued uii Page Three) Students Here Will Get Relief Work for Term Projects Assigned for Present Month NOTICES TO BE SENT Departments Requested to Hold Back Until Definite Word Is Given to Proceed Work for 196 University stu dents until the end of the spring term was assured yesterday in a letter sent President C. V. Boyer by Rimer R. Goudy, executive sec retary of the state relief commit tee. Goudy's communication reads: “Provision has been made to pay the wages of part-time college students from the regular relief funds allocated to the state of Oregon by the federal emergency relief administration. “Your quota of students as here tofore determined shall be pro vided part-time jobs until the end of school in accordance with fed eral emergency relief administra tion instructions previously for warded to you. Funds Available “Funds to meet part-time stu dent payrolls for the months of February and March are now available and wiil be forwarded to your office without delay.” Commenting on Goudy’s letter, Earl M. Pallett, University execu tive secretary and registrar, said: “In view of this authorization, the University committee on fed eral relief for students met for the purpose of assigning students to projects for the month of April. In making assignments for the month of April, precedence was given to students who had pre viously been promised work dur ing this month. If these students were eligible to continue on the list, and if no other circumstances made it inadvisable to assign work to them, they were assigned the same number of hours on the same projects as they had been as signed previously. Notices to Be Sent “Notices will be sent as soon as possible to the students to whom work has been assigned, and copies of these notices will be sent to the faculty members having charge of the projects. The com mittee will continue to assign stu dents to projects until the quota of 196 students for the month of April has been reached. “No definite assignments are be ing made for May or June because the committee feels it is inadvis able to make assignments at this time with the possibility that they might be canceled. At the end of this month, if the work has not been cancelled, letters will be sent to students assigning work for the month of May." Pallett requested that depart ments are not to start students to work immediately, until they have received definite notice when to proceed. Discussions at Round Table Held in Vocational Meeting Business in the United States! will take second place to the other occupations of life, such as knowl edge and the enjoyment of cul ture, according to Miss Vivian Cooley, head of Meier & Frank's book department, who gave the first general address of the A. W. S. vocational conference yesterday evening on “Modern Trends and Needs in Business Today." “Believe it or not, we’re not go ing to have the big salaries and big wages we used to have.” America, said Miss Cooley, is go ing to have more leisure time, and will concentrate less on continual money-making and more on edu cation and culture. “The govern ment, under the new deal,” Miss' Cooley stated, “has gone into the business of education. . . . We’re just learning how to live." In considering the opportunities for women in business, Miss Coo ley said that any woman can get a job if she has a foundation and can create and make a place for herself. “Everyone has the abil ity to do some one thing well,” she stated, saying that it is up to every girl to find her own place. The desire to serve is highly im portant in finding and holding a job, according to Miss Cooley, who emphasized several times the statement, “It's not what you know but what you do with what you know." Enthusiasm and in terest are paramount to the knowledge and education which compose the foundation for suc cess. In the afternoon previous to Miss Cooley's speech, three round table discussions, on different fields of work, were led by guest speakers prominent in these fields. Miss Frankie Coykendall, head of media and research departments at Botsford, Constantine, and Gardner, spoke on “Women in Ad vertising and Journalism”; Miss Brownell Frazier, head of the de partment of design at the Univer sity, spoke on "Women in Art”; and Mrs. Alice Howard, dean of girls and mathematics teacher at Klamath Fails union high school, spoke on “Women in Education.” Each of the three afternoon speakers emphasized the oppor tunities for women in the three fields of work discussed, consider ing necessary training, qualifica ( Continued on Page Four)
