NUMBER 95 Duck Baseball TeamWillPlay In Game Today i _ Reinhart Field Contest To Start 3:30 WILLAMETTE IS FOE Gemmell to Open in Box Against Invaders; Tilt Scheduled For Saturday Also The Oregon varsity baseball nine will meet its second foe of the sea son this afternoon at 3:30, in a pre-conference clash with Willam ette university at Reinhart field. Because of CWA project work on the Willamette field at Salem, the other game of the series, scheduled there on Saturday, will also be played on the local field and will start at the same time. It is also possible that another game will take place Saturday morning, as both coaches are eager to work in as many contests as possible before their respective conference slates open. Gemmell to Start Hon Gemmell, who lost a tough four-hit opener to Oregon normal a week ago, has been announced by Coach Bill Reinhart as the starting hurler for today's game. Don McFadden, who pitched three innings of no-hit ball against the Wolves last week, will be ready to step in. Ike Donin and Earl Bucknum are other members of the staff likely to see action either today or tomorrow. Of the other tossers, Jack Todd and Ossie Edwards are bothered with a back injury and a bad leg muscle, respectively. Slim Thunemann has been shifted to utility work during the past week by Reinhart. Vail Will Catch Receiving Gemmell’s slants will be Mickey Vail. Con Fury and Hackney will be ready to serve, and Marvin Stroble has received the most extensive grooming of any of the candidates during the past week. In the infield and outfield the regular lineups for the other games will again take their places in the initial inning. Joe Gordon and Ray Koch will be at short and second, Harry McCall at first, and Mark DeLaunay on the hot corner. Wes Clausen, still bothered with (Continued on Page Pour) Caswell Will Head All-Men’s Edition Don Caswell, senior in journal ism, and Don Olds, sophomore in arts and letters, have been elected editor and managing editor of the special all-men’s edition of the Emerald to be issued May 5. The selection was made yester day at a meeting of the male Em erald workers. The two editors will make up a staff for the issue, drawing on all available men who are working on the paper now or who have had some experience. The men’s issue will be one of three special editions of the Em erald put out every spring. The women will take over the paper on May 19, and the freshmen on May 12. Competition for the best paper between the men’s and wo men's editions will be held, the losers giving a party for the win ners. Installment Payments Of Spring Term Fees Due Saturday, April 21 Saturday noon, April 21, is the deadline for second install ment payments of spring term fees, and it is requested by ad ministration officials that the required sums be paid at the business offices in Johnson hall before that date, if possible, to avoid a last minute rush at the wicket. Non-resident fees of $50 are also due at this time from stu dents residing outside the state. Six Frosli Go on Hunting Trip for Glee Decorations Branches Will Serve as Part of Background for Annual Event Tomorrow in Igloo Furtively sneaking through the woods, crawling on their hands and knees to get under barbed wire fences, six freshmen went on a hunting trip for decorations for the Frosh Glee tomorrow night in McArthur court. Craig Finley, chairman of the Glee, was seen trying to cut some tender young shoots with a woodman's ax that, from reports, was about all that A1 Davis could lift. The other noble youths who defied poison oak and cut classes for the sake of their dance were lack McGirr, Mel Johnson, Bob Helliwell, and John Holloway. The success of their trip into the country was evident when students saw three carloads of branches brought in. An announcement from the dean of women’s office last night stated that all women will have 12:30 permission. Admission to the dance, for which Sherwod Burr and his or chestra will play, is 50 cents a person for each individual not hav ing an ASUO ticket. Those who have tickets will be admitted free. An all-campus dance, spring infor mal clothes are to be worn. One of the features will be the selec tion of members of Skull and Dag ger, men’s sophomore honorary. Spring or Love? What Does Cause This Mumbling? Any person observed wandering about the campus mumbling to himscif is not to be scorned— rather he is to be treated with the utmost respect. For it is not spring. It is not even love. It is merely one of the University Play ers trying to learn his lines. All this means that rehearsals are well underway for the two plays to be presented by the Uni versity theater group this term: Evreinov’s “The Chief Thing,” un der the direction of Horace W. Robinson, instructor in dramatics; and Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew,” directed by Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt, director of dramatics. Behind the scenes, members of the theater workshop class spend the warm spring afternoons work ing. Paint-streaked students pose on ladders and dab at the ceiling; two or three boys appear from no where carrying “flats”; girls with harried expressions hurry about hunting for a pattern for a devil’s costume. The time of presentation is ap proaching quickly—May 2, 4, and 5 for “The Chief Thing,” and May 25 and 26 for "Taming of the Shrew.” Good Old Speakeasies May Appear Near Campus Again The good old days are coming back—the old familiar speakeasy of other days with its sliding door panel, gutteral whispers of “Joe sent me!” and embalming-fluid liquor may soon come back to thg environs of the Oregon campus. The foregoing statement was made after securing interviews with three former proprietors of University district speakeasies. Two of them have until recently been employed by the CWA and the other specified his means of livelihood rather mysteriously as consisting of “deals." "I had thought some of opening a hard liquor joint near the cam pus,” said ex-bootlegger number 1, who ran a speakeasy unmolested for three years within five blocks of the University limits. “You know the kind of a joint, where you serve mostly highballs and you boys and girls can come and have your drinks real quiet with nobody snooping around. If this restricted district business goes over, I'm go ing to open up again on the same old spot, and you can tell the boys to come around.” Another ex-gloom-chaser said, well, yes, he s’posed so; the CWA wasn't doing him much good, when asked if he had considered reopen ing. “I got a lot of friends among the college kids," he said. “I al ways handled good stuff and they appreciate it. If they close up this part of town and I don’t get any more government work, I think I'll open up the joint. The boys’ll all come back.” The other former purveyor of il- i licit beverages was slightly sus picious when approached, and an nounced flatly that he was through with the racket forever and fur-! thermore was through with this j so-and-so town. "I’m leaving for California next week,” he said, “I got a deal on.” French Policy Seen As Fear From Invasion Speaker Cites Periods of German Activity TREATIES PLAY PART Sir Herbert Brown Ames, First Treasurer of League Addresses Groups Vividly describing- the admission of Germany into the League of Na tions and the subsequent further ance of t-he cause of world peace, Sir Herbert Brown Ames, distin guished student ol' international af fairs, addressed a large audience of students, faculty members, and townspeople yesterday morning in Gerlinger hall, on the subject, “The Great Reconciliation and Its Af termath.” “Had the authors of the Locar no peace treaties been supported, we would doubtless have seen a gradual revision of the Versailles treaty in Germany’s favor,” de clared the speaker, after presenting a clear-cut word picture of the friendship of Briand and Strese mann, French and German dele gates to the league in Geneva. “However, today Germany is un der the domination of Herr Hitler and his Nazis and all this is changed.” Periods Described Discussing the birth of the inter national body after the world war as he observed it as the first treas urer, Sir Herbert characterized Ge neva as “the observation post of the world, the watch tower of Eur ope,” and based his talk on an ex amination of the relationships be tween France and Germany as they appeared,throughout two cru cial periods in their history. First he spoke of the period when Ger many was ostracized from partici pation in the league’s activities, and second, of the period from 1925 'to 1931, when Germany co operated w'ith the league. “After the great war, Germany made overture^ to the league to determine its chances of being ac cepted, and found there would be too much opposition to gain the two-thirds majority necessary among the 42 participating nations to gain admission. Sc/ Germany de cided to ignore the Geneva body, until, by 1924, she found all her allies had joined, and made anoth er attempt.” French Policy Explained Ames explained the policy of France in “strengthening her own right arm,” as originated by Cle menceau, the “tiger of France,” to protect his country from invasion by Germany. When France found that her plan of gaining a strangle hold on Germany was expensive, profitless, and unpopular, she saw her chance in the League of Na tions, said the Canadian, and gave her support to it. “It was not until 1924 that the league represented the world,” stated the speaker. “In that year, 16 prime ministers appeared at the fourth session, and the League of Nations protocol was brought into existence, presenting a universal arbitration system, providing for t le limitation and gradual reduc tion of armaments throughout the civilized world.” Sir Herbert went on to discuss the Locarno peace pacts, partici pated in by Great Britain, France, Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, and Italy. Treaties Important “These seven treaties, in my opinion, were the most important safeguard of world peace since the league w & s created,’’ declared Ames. “Great Britain agreed to help either France or Germany, depending upon which was the de fensive nation.” Presenting to the audience a pic ture^ of the session of September (Continue^ on Page Four) Third Annual Concert Of Oregon Symphony Orchestra Scheduled The third annual concert of the University symphony or- ! chestra has been scheduled for Thursday, May 3, it was an nounced from the University business manager's office.

Two years must pass, Ames pointed out, for Germany's with drawal to become final under the article of the league covenant fwhich she invoked. He character ized Hitler's action as the culmin ation of a definite policy of “one of the shrewdest politicians we have today.” By this threat of withdrawal Hitler planned to con solidate his power at home, to demonstrate this consolidation to the other nations, and to sow dis cord among the powers in the pro cess of negotiations to persuade him to return to the league. Treaties Broken Japan’s withdrawal was differ entiated sharply from Germany’s by Sir Herbert, for Japan had broken all her treaties and so far, he said, Germany has fulfilled her (Continued nn Pape Four) international obligations. “To the Phi Theta Upsilon To Have Initiation In Gerlinger at 4 Mrs. Allen Scheduled for Speech At Banquet; 16 Women Will Receive Membership Initiation of Phi Theta IJpsilon. women’s upperclass service hono rary, will take place at 4 this aft ernoon in Gerlinger hall, followed by a formal banquet at the Osburn hotel.

No Canadian NRA, Probably Less Headache, Says Ames By HENRIETTE HORAK “NRA in Canada? While Can ada is assisting the unemployed by public works, doles, and other federal appropriations, she is not resorting to artificial stimulation in her recovery,” declared Sir Her bert Ames today in an exclusive interview with the Emerald. “And when normal conditions again ex ist, she will probably have less of a headache than the United States,” he remarked. Sir Gilbert pointed out similar features in the Canadian meth ods in comparison with the NRA, chief among them being the cen tralization of gold with the fed eral government. He also empha sized that Canada is now on a gold bullion basis. Although Canada has had her share of depression hardships and maladjustments, the distinguished diplomat stated that the federal appropriations have been sufficient to care for all pressing needs and acute sit uations. As financial director of the League of Nations from 1919 to 1926, Sir Herbert became authori tatively informed on the activities of the international body in all its functions, and yesterday explained the financing of the league . ‘‘The League of Nations,” he stated, "carries on all its opera tions in a money medium that does not exist. It draws its bud get in gold francs yet there are no gold francs in circulation to day. Until the United States went off the gold standard, the league used the U. S. gold dollar as a monetary yardstick. When “dues" money was received from foreign countries, American dollars were bought with it. This amount of dollars was multiplied by the number of gold francs in a dollar (5.1826;, and a receipt of pay ment was given in terms of gold francs.” The American dollar was chosen as a yardstick because at that time it was the only currency in the world which was not depre ciated. “Each country,” pointed out Ames, “pays dues according to its relative ability to pay." As a reply to a remark that the league cannot enforce any such (Continued on Page Three) Rally Dance Tonight Finale Of ASUO Membership Drive To Be Ended Saturday Noon - __ u Enrollment in Student Group At 60 Percent _ Campaign Will Come to End Tomorrow TABULATION SLATED Three Groups Posspss Pprfpct Record; Attempts Made to Contact Non-Members Membership in the A.

Attend Mass Meeting! (EDITORIAL) At a great rally and dance tonight, the campaign for mem bership in the associated stu dents will be brought to an end For two weeks students in terested in the eontinuation of student government have been conducting a quiet campaign, and in that time have brought enrollment in the student asso ciation from 4“ percent of the student body up to GO percent. At the rate of 25 to 30 a day, students have been learning the benefits of affiliation with the A. S. U. O., and have been fil ing into McArthur court to purchase memberships. The A. S. U. O. is faced with the possibility of a depleted treasury, with resulting drastic curtailment of extracurricular activities, or with the possibil ity of the complete removal of student control in student af fairs. Attend the mass meeting to night. Learn what the A. S. U. O. does for the University and the many benefits it be stows upon its members. The time is 7:30. The place is the Kokonut Grove. Sally Allen’s Play To Be Presented Two More Nights ‘What the Gulls Knew’ Offered at Very Little Theater la Three-Act Mystery Sally Elliott Allen’s play, “What the Gulls Knew,” winner of the 1934 national play contest of the Guignol theater of Lexington, Kentucky has been the offering at the local Very Little theater this week.

Allen of the school of journalism. “What the Gulls Knew” is a three-act mystery play, laid in a lighthouse, and concerns a party from the social register who are marooned on the lighthouse island for a month.

On an average, I am able to place three or four stu dents daily at various odd jobs,’’ Miss Smith said. “However,’’ she added, “we never have nearly enough work to meet the needs of the many worried stu dents who call at the office daily.” Political Picture on Campus Remains Hazy After Change By FRANCIS FULTON Campus political lineups re mained in a state of uncertainty yesterday following Joe Renner’s withdrawal from the race for the A. S. U. O. presidency. Renner, it appears, will continue to head his ticket, but as a candidate for vice president, opposing the group head ed by Malcolm Bauer. In announcing his action in filing for the vice-presidency and leaving the presidential post uncontested, Renner stated that he believed; “that Bauer is without doubt the I best qualified candidate for stu-1 dent body president," but the lat ter’s ticket was definitely “infe rior" to his. In commenting yesterday upon i the action taken by Renner, Bauer made the following statement: "Although I appreciate the con fidence which Joe and his organi zation place in me as expressed by his withdrawal in my favor, I can not agree with him as to the rela tive merits of the two tickets now in the field. I do not believe that the ticket opposing us is ’second rate,’ nor can I reconcile myself with their expressed belief that my lineup is 'second-rate.’ “It is true that Renner's ticket was organized long before ours, but this can be no accurate crite rion of the relative worth of the individual candidates. It is my firm belief that those people on the ticket which I am heading, are the best candidates for the respec tive offices. “In forming my ticket, I chose those people with whom I wished to work. I am as completely satis fied with their capabilities now as I was at the time when they were first selected. We plan to make no change in our campaign, and our ticket, as announced in Wed nesday’s Emerald, will remain in tact.” Bauer’s ticket includes Bill Berg, vice-president; Gail McCredie, sec retary; Althea Peterson, senior wo man; Bob Miller, executive man; and Cosgrove LaBarre, junior fi nance officer. The opposing lineup is composed of Renner, vice-presi dent; Nancy Archbold, secretary; Elizabeth Bendstrup, senior wo man; John Casey, executive man; and Howard Patterson, junior fi nance officer.
