Mayor Denit 4 Beer Zone Regulatid3 Can Be Enforced b City Knox Liquor Law Takes Power From Municipality to Establish Restrictive Area By FRANCIS FULTON The “beer-zone” problem again bobbed into the campus limelight as a subject of violent discussion yesterday when Mayor Elisha Largo declared that the city council’s ordinance creating a newer and bigger beer zone around the University could not be enforced. The mayor, who as president of the council did not vote on the ordinance, declared, “The city has no power or authority to enforce any such ordinance. Their power was taken from them by the Knox liquor law.” However, the mayor pointed out that the ordinance has the effect a, icwumicuuttliuil IU l lie statt liquor commission, requesting them to designate as a dry zone the huge east side zone which in cludes one-third the city’s area. McMorran Retorts This immediately drew cross-fire from George H. McMorran, chair man of the liquor commission. He charged that the city was merely passing the buck to the liquoi commission, and intimated that ii the city had wished a zone estab lished it should have “passed any such ordinance two months ago.” Meantime, campus eating place proprietors were in a state oi doubt as to their status between the wishes of the city fathers and the commission. They had all re ceived licenses permitting them to sell beer, and the applications of all had previously been okeyed by the city council. University officials apparently had no hand in the sponsorship of the beer-zone ordinance. Presi dent C. V. Boyer gave out an in terview to the Eugene Morning News last night to the effeet that officers of the school had taken no part in “promoting or urging” such an ordinance. Two Sides, Says feoyer Boyer declared he believed the question was one for the city coun cil to decide, and acknowledged there were two sides to the prob lem: that the sale of beer next to the campus might prove dis tasteful to visitors, but that on the other hand the sale of beer in restaurants near the campus per mitted the University to exercise constant supervision. He said he had had no knowledge of the council’s action until he read of it in yesterday’s papers. Other University officials had nothing to add. Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, declined to comment on the matter for the Emerald, and Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel, likewise refrained from committing himself. Unverified reports from Salem indicated that the liquor commis sion would probably decline to take action establishing the beer zone, inasmuch as licenses had al ready been granted dealers upon ratification by the Eugene city council. Dealers to Sell Beer Two dealers reached last night by the Emerald. Newton Smith of the College Side Inn and Chester (Continued on Page Two) Hr ' !__ City Solons Void Beer, Forget That Millrace Possesses Two Sides Whoever drew up the city beer-zone ordinance passed Monday night apparently didn’t know Eugene topography. The north line of the zone ex tends from Tenth and Pearl streets “east to the millrace and along the race to the city limits.” Eugene’s city fathers appar ently forgot that not the mill race but the Willamette river is the city limit, and that ..a husky art student could throw a stone from the roof of the art building to good solid ground not even affected by the zoning law. A few downtown citizens were wondering last night whether they could expect a colony of beer-serving restau rants to spring up on the un defiled land to cater to the summer canoe trade. April 28 Date Set For Dance Given By Mortar Board Feature of Event to Be Pledging Of Freshman Women to Service Honorary Plans for one of the major so cial events on the campus, the an nual Mortar Board Ball, have been announced and a directorate ap pointed. The affair is to be held Saturday, April 28, at the Osburn hotel. The directorate, as an nounced by Ida Mae Nickels, chairman, includes Virginia Hart je, programs; Caroline Card, or chestra; Eileen Hickson, tickets; Helen Binford, patrons; Dorothy Marsters, decorations, and Nancy Suomela, promotion. The ball, sponsored by Mortar Board? women’s national senior service honorary, will be the sec ond event of the year to which women ask the men. Another fea ture of the dance, which is of in terest to women on the campus, (Continued on Page Two) rHome Gardening Important,’ Says Architectural Student Editor’s note: This is the „ fourth of a series of interviews dealing with the different de partments in the art school. "In the past, men have been slaves to the dollar. The modern trend indicates (hat the dollar will be the slave, and men, and women too, will have time to enjoy the home and garden which they have so long cherished,” said Willard Morgan, senior in landscape ar chitecture. "When that day comes, make your home a well-designed, cozy looking house, and place it well forward on the lot, leaving a large' space in the rear for your gar den,” he continued. The design of the garden is the reason for engaging a landscape architect before one has selected a lot, so that he may help with the selection and with the location of the house. The term ‘design’ applies to the organizing of the terraces, walks, pergolas, and plantings into a harmonious unit. The shape of the lot, its slope, existing trees, and the character of the soil will all influence the design of the garden. “Some home makers,” said Mor gan, “make the mistake of at tempting to transplant a natural istic atmosphere to the small city lot, and fail because of lack of space in which to imitate nature. Instead of doing this, use small trees ,and a more formal design, for it is better to have the garden harmonize with the formal lines of the house and its surroundings.” Other home makers plant flow ers and shrubs in a haphazard manner, placing a tiny delicate shrub side by side with a coarse broad-leaved evergreen. They also scatter single clusters of flowers here and there over the garden, thus losing the effect of beauty found where flowers or shrubs are planted in masses. “Besides beeing able to plan and design gardens,” concluded Mor gan, “a well-trained landscape ar chitect is also prepared to design I and supervise the construction of | country estates, golf courses, cem | eteries, subdivisions, and many | other projects having to do with i the creating and preserving of 'natural beauty.” Social Events Scheduled for SpringQuarter Calendar Includes Sixty Campus Functions FROSH GLEE IS NEXT Dances, Dinners, Teas, Picnics Announced for Coming Weekends A total of 60 social activities are listed in the spring term calendar released yesterday from the dean of women’s office, including danc es, plays, banquets, picnics and teas to provide extra-curricular entertainment for University stu dents.

S. U. O. membership campaign, into the-lists as head of a ticket which will oppose the alignment topped by Joe Renner and an nounced last Saturday.

Lawrence, dean of the school of fine arts, was presented with an engraved certificate from the Oregon Building Congress at a luncheon given its board of di rectors at the Congress hotel in Portland, Tuesday, April 3. This certificate bore resolutions commending him for his contribu tion during the past year to the Work Promotion committee of the organization and for his long years of service in the interest of indus trial peace and advancement. They especially stressed the unselfish devotion and consideration of the rights of each element of the building industry shown consist ently by Dean Lawrence. Dean Lawrence was the first president of the congress and served four years as secretary. He is now honorary president and a member of the board of directors. The Oregon Building congress is over 14 years old, and is one of many such joined together by a national alliance. Every element of the industry is represented, in cluding labor. The foreman ap points two members of the board of directors to represent the pub lic. It interests itself in develop ing better service to the public, in correcting abuses, in honoring me chanics, in perfecting an appren ticeship system in the trades, and in many other such activities. During the past two years it has been leading force in securing funds for relief from RFC, PWA, and CWA, since the building in dustry is perhaps the greatest sufferer from the depression. In this work it has been instrumental in developing the state program with necessary legislation. In this Dean Lawrence has been one of the leaders. Independent Men Have New Prexy Verno Adams, senior in pre medics and member of Phi Mu Ep silon, mathematics honorary, has taken over the position as presi dent of the Oregon Yeomen, men’s independent organization for the remainder of the year. Adams has previously been vice president of the organization and took over the chair due to the graduation of George Bennett, for mer president. “The Oregon Yeomen have been organized with the primary pur pose in mind that every independ ent man should have an opportuni ty to enter various campus activi ties. I feel that the independent men are destined to play a much more important part in coming ac tivities than ever before,” stated Adams. The new president will preside over his first meeting next Thurs day evening at 7:30 in the Y hut. Any unaffiliated men interested in the organization has been request ed to attend. Paul Raymond Resigns From School of Law Administration of Morse Complimented DEAN PRAISES WORK Instructor to Return to Stetson University Law School; Increase in Pay Paul E. Raymond, instructor ir law at the University, last night announced that he had tendered his resignation, effective August 1, 1934, through a letter to Dean Wayne L. Morse of the law school. 1 Raymond, who has been at the University of Oregon only for a year, has been invited to return to John B. Stetson university law school, where he first taught, with the rank of full professor and an increase in salary. In commenting upon his resig nation, Raymond said: ‘‘I cannot leave the University of Oregon law school w’ithout a feeling of regret because I have become very much attached to Dean Morse, the other members of his staff, and the student body. I think it would be quite appro priate for me to say that I have j been in contact with several of the leading law schools of the country and I have yet to witness better administration than Dean Morse is giving the Oregon law school, even though his staff is clearly too small for this type of a school. Decision Made “After considerable deliberation I have decided that I cannot con tinue here longer in the face of existing conditions. “Although many factors have influenced me in reaching the de cision, two are primary. First, I am opposed to an administrative policy which demands that a teacher, regardless of training or (Continued on Page Two) Waffle Luncheon Slated Saturday Afternoon by YW Dancing Will Feature at Annual Affair; Kokonut Grove Scene of Event A newly arranged waffle lunch eon in which dancing will be the main feature has been scheduled for Saturday afternoon, May 5, by the Y.

Students participating in it will pay an admission price of 25 cents which will entitle them to dancing from 2 until 4 and one waffle. Additional waffles will cost 10 cents. Elizabeth Bendstrup and Alma Lou Herman are co-chairmen for the waffle luncheon. Their direc torate consists of Ruth Vannice, assistant chairman; Marjorie Sco bert, secretary; Marie Saccomanno, arrangements; Peggy Chessman, Catherine Coleman, and Elaine Sorenson, publicity; Virginia How ard, food; Betty Ohlemiller, pro gram; Catherine Coleman and Virginia Younie, tickets; Helen Wright, cleanup; Ruth Mae Chil cote, patrons; Joyce Busenbark, serving; and Mary Jane Jenkins, irons. Regulations for Dance Petition Forms Given Regulations which must be fol lowed in giving dances on the cam pus are called to the attention of living organizations by Dean of Women Hazel P. Schwering. No petitions for dances will be granted unless an appropriate list of chaperons is submitted. There is an official list in the office of the dean of women in Johnson hall which may be consulted for sug gestion. There mu3t be at least three couples, two of University connection, and at least one must stay all evening. These people are to have been invited and accepted before the petition is submitted. If a man and his wife are being in vited, it is suggested that the wo man be called if possible. Petition forms must be filled out completely and filed in the dean of women's office at least one week before the dance is given or it will be cancelled. Six Students Submit Petition for Places On Publications Polivka, Saslavsky Enter Applications For Emerald Editorship Six students yesterday submitted petitions to the publications committee to signify their candidacies for Emerald editor and business manager and Oregana editor and business manager. Doug Polivka and Joseph Saslavsky entered the field for the Emerald editorship for the school year of 1934-35. Grant Thuemmel filed a petition to succeed himself as Emerald business manager, no other rivals appearing for this position. Barney Clark and Dagmar Haugen are aspirants for the Oregana editorship next year, while Bdl Phipps is the sole candidate for the Fourteen Essays Received During Warner Contest After Month's Study of Works Committee Will Award $400 in Frizes A total of 14 University stu dents submitted essays to the War ner contest which ended last Fri day, announced Harold J. Noble, associate professor of history and chairman of the contest commit tee, yesterday. The committee, consisting- of Noble, Waldo Schumacher, profes sor of political science, and Sam uel Jameson, associate professor of sociology, will be a month read ing and judging the entries, said the chairman, and at the end of that time, at an informal gather ing of the contestants, Mrs. Ger trude Bass Warner will present the prizes, totaling $400, to the eight winners^ , , "The essays are of a very high quality,” stated Noble, “and we anticipate considerable difficulty in judging them. They evidently represent a great deal of work on the part of the students.” Two of the 14 essays deal with general considerations of Far Eastern problems as they affect the United States, two were writ ten on Philippine problems, four on economic and commercial sub jects and others considered naval problems in the Pacific. Points which will be taken into consideration when judging the entries, according to Noble, will be the method of handling the (Continued on Pane Two) Examiner of Licenses To Visit Eugene Soon Glenn Bown, examiner of opera tors and chauffeurs, will be in Eu gene Thursday, Friday, and Satur day, April 26, 27, and 28, at the K.

His office hours will be 10 to 5 on Thursday and 8 to 5 on Friday and Saturday. 1 managership ot the annual year book. Candidates for all these posi tions except Emerald editor will attend a meeting of the publica tions committee scheduled to start today at 3:30 p. m. in McArthur court. They will be interviewed orally. Emerald Work Varied Polivka, associate editor of the Emerald this year, has worked in several other capacities on the campus daily and has been a mem ber of the Oregana staff. Saslavsky is managing editor of the Emerald this year and has served in various positions on the staff of the paper. Thuemmel, who as a junior has been manager of the Emerald during the present year, is the only candidate seeking to head the busi ness staff of the paper and will probably automatically be chosen again in his present capacity. Oregana Workers File Both Clark and Miss Haugen have served on the Oregana, the former being copy editor and the latter general .secretary of the yearbook. Phipps, a member of the busi ness staff of the Oregana and sports editor of the Emerald, will in ail probability automatically ob tain the managership of the an nual since he is the only aspirant for that position. Theta Sigma Phi Chooses Pledges Pledges of Theta Sigma Phi were chosen at a meeting of the women's journalism honorary Tuesday evening at 7:30 in the Journalism building. The invita tions will be sent out simultane ously with those of Gamma Alpha Chi, women’s advertising hono rary, next week. An open meeting is planned soon at which Miss Ruth Dorris, former special writer and fashion editor of the New York Evening World and World syndicate, will speak. Janis Worley is in charge of the meeting. Plans were made for contacting all alumnae of the local chapter of Theta Sigma Phi for news for the Handshake, official publication of the chapter, which is published once a year. Frances Hardy is editor of the publication. Musical Sensitivity Shown In Tuesday Piano Concert By J. A. NEWTON The great sensitivity of the mu sicianship of Harold Ayres was perhaps the most vivid impression received from his piano concert last night in the Music auditorium. The delicacy with whch he han dled the more abstract and mel odic numbers on the program could only have been the work of a man intimate with his instrument and with the ideals by which the com posers worked. There come to mind a number of the selections played which served to excellently illustrate this ob servation. There were the “Air Tendre” by Lully, the Theme and Variations from Mozart’s Sonata in A Major, which Ayres did with unusually fine understanding, and Schubert’s “Litanei.” In each of these Ayres brought forth the melodies distinctly and artistically. He made his instru ment sing, not allowing it to pro duce slushy or sentimental music. His renditions were sincerity per sonified, the first characteristic which marks the artist. In the first group of five num bers, Ayres omitted the Choral “Num komm’ der Heiden Hei I land.” The fourth and concluding group on the program contained mostly modern pieces. Ayres allowed himself more expressive leeway with these selections. The “Sug gestion Diabolique’’ is an unusually effective number under the fingers of Harold Ayres. It is full of the Old Nick in person and a number of minor demons. It is more than chords and disharmonies, as the | context calls for, it is a vivid, com ! pelling picture. In "The Little White Donkey" Ayres drew another clear picture of the obstinate and temperamen tal little animal alternately hurry ing or stopping altogether. Ayres gave a strong and force ful interpretation of the final number, “La Campanella.” He held the audience absolutely with this selection. After three curtain calls, he played an encore, a very showy arrangement of the Waltz of the Flowers from Tschaikow sky’s “Nutcracker Suite.” Louis Artau, Ayres’ teacher, said to call the arrangement “by Grainger,” but John J. Landsbury, head of the music department, said he thought Artau had consid erable to do with the arrangement himself.
