Carl Davidson
Takes First in
Hilton Contest
Winner Presented Prize
Of $50 for Talk
LANDYE IS SECOND
Coad and Dolloff Get Other Two
Awards; Donor Present at
Faculty Banquet
Carl E. Davidson, third-year law
student, was awarded $50 for first
place in the Hilton prize contest
last night, for his speech, “A Pro
posal to Abolish the Doctrine of
Election of Remedies.”
Second, third, and fourth prizes,
consisting of $25„ $15, and $5,
were awarded, respectively, to
James T. Landye, speaking on "A
Proposal to Amend the Code to
Allow the Trial Judge to Com
ment on the Evidence”; Carl H.
Coad, “Revision of Appellate Prac
tice for Inferior Courts”; and
Charles D. Dolloff, “A Proposal to
provide for Pre-Trial Disclosure.”
Speeches Without Notes
The general subject, some phase
of which was taken by each con
testant, was “Advocate Some Ma
terial Change in Either the Code
of Civil or Criminal Procedure in
Oregon.” Contestants submitted
manuscripts on their particular
topics at the first of this term, but
the speeches were given entirely
without notes.
Davidson, first prize winner, pro
posed an express amendment to
the code, distinctly abolishing the
doctrine of election of remedies.
This doctrine, according to Davidr
son, is of modern judicial origin,
and has thrived only on judicial
precedents. It has never been a
part of Oregon statutory law.
Objections Expressed
The objections to the doctrine of
election of remedies which David
son set forth were that it is con
trary to the spirit of the Oregon
code, that it is inconsistently ap
plied, that it often results in injus
tice, and that where no injustice
results, it obscures the real basis
of decision. Davidson cited a num
ber of actual cases to assert the
value of his proposal.
The first prize was awarded by
Prank H. Hilton, Portland attor
ney, who was the originator of the
contest, and who has donated $50
each year since 1922. The other
three prizes, which have been added
by the law school deans trust fund,
were presented by Wayne L.
Morse, dean of the law school.
Dinner Given
Judges of the contest were
•James T. Brand, of Marshfield, cir
cuit judge of the second judicial
district; Lester Ooehler, Corvallis
attorney; and Fred E. Smith, Eu
gene attorney. The speeches were
judged on the quality of content,
organization of material, and ef
fectiveness of presentation.
Preceding the contest, the law
faculty gave a dinner at the Eu
gene hotel in honor of Hilton and
of the judges of the contest. Last
night was the first time in many
years that Hilton was present at
the contest.

Villard Writes of
Memorable Visit
To U of O Campus
Former Editor of Nation Tells
Dean Allen of Proposed Gift
Of Copy of Liberator
Oswald Garrison Villard, former
editor of The Nation and son of
the benefactor of the University,
Henry Villard, commented again
on his “unforgettable visit” at the
University in a recent letter to
Dean Eric W. Allen, of the school
of journalism.
In regard to a recent article in
The Nation, Villard wrote, “I hope
you liked what I wrote on the
University in The Nation, which
has called forth quite a good deal
of comment. I am hoping to send
you very shortly a copy of The
Liberator as a gift to be added to
your own collection.”
He asked Dean Allen to please
make sure that everyone at the
University understands how grate
ful he is, saying “The rest of my
trip was quite successful, but
nothing equalled in interest, or in
its appeal to my emotions, the re
ception given me by all of you at
the University of Oregon. It was
din unforgettable visit that could
only have been improved upon
had my wife and my other chil
dren also been there.”

Emerald editor and business
manager and Oregana editor and
business manager for the school
year of 1934-35 will be selected
this afternoon, when the executive
council of the associated students
meets in Johnson hall at 5 o’clock.
The group will put its stamp of
approval upon the candidates rec
ommended by the publications com

orally last week. In all probability,
the selections of the publications
group will be the final choice.
Choices Probable
Either Doug Polivka, associate
editor of the Emerald, or Joseph
Saslavsky, managing editor, will
probably be named to head the
news and editorial staff of the
campus daily next year.
Grant Thuemmel, manager of
the Emerald, will in all likelihood
be reappointed to his present posi
tion, inasmuch as he is the only
aspirant who filed for that job.
Barney Clark, copy editor of the
Oregana, or Dagmar Haugen, gen
eral secretary for the yearbook,
wiil probably be Oregana editor for
the coming school year.
Phipps Lone Candidate
Bill Phipps, sports editor of the
Emerald and member of the busi
ness staff of the Oregana .will
probably be manager of the Ore
gana next year, since he is the only
candidate in the field for that po
sition.
Meetings of the finance and the
athletic committees of the asso
ciated students are scheduled to
precede the session of the execu
tive council.

Oregon State life insurance sales
contest will take place in room

of the larger insurance companies
in the United States. Final com

Dean Jewell to Attend
Grade School Meet
Dean J. R. Jewell, of the school
of education, and member of the
appointment bureau, will attend an
elementary schooi conference in
Monmouth this week-end. The Uni
versity is a'ways represented due
to the fact that the 7th and 8th
grades choose teachers from both
th# University, the college and the
normal schools.
In a great many cases seventh
and eighth grades are department
alized and called junior high
schools. These schools hire teach
ers from both normals and colleges.
It is for this reason that Dean
Jewell attends the elementary
school conference annually.

Anonymous Note
Received Tells of
Lost Liberty Bell
The following anonymous letter
was received yesterday post
marked from Corvallis, and dated
April 24, 1934. The contents are
self-explanatory.
"To the editor:
“In regards to an editorial in
our Barometer and a previous one
in your humor column, it seems
that we have caused no little bit
of unrest in regards to our holding
of your 'liberty bell.’ So far we
have not taken it up with mem
bers of our student body, because
of our necessary selfish monetary
interests.
“We feel that this thing can be
handled without any further pub
licity on either yours or our parts.
“Ours is a strictly monetary
point of view, for we would just
as soon keep this from the public
eye as much as you would. As a
result of your inefficiency in
guarding your trophy we unhesi
tatingly still hold the ransom of
such at thirty-five dollars and will
communicate with you at a later
date as to the possibilities of re
demption.
“Very truly yours,”
Moll Will Give Lecture
On Practice of Poetry
Ernest G. Moll, assistant profes
sor of English, will talk on “The
Practice of Poetry” tomorrow at

The meeting is one of a series

names of all students eligible to
vote in the coming A.S.U.O. elec
tion and the classes with which
they are affiliated, will be posted
in the Condon reserve library and
on the bulletin board at the College
Side today.
Due to additional work in pre
paring lists, caused by optional
membership in the A.S.U.O., these
lists, which an amendment to the
student body constitution requires
to be posted 15 days prior to the
election, could not be finished in
time to meet this requirement, ac
cording to Tom Tongue, president.
Blanks at Co-op
Students desiring to change class
identities in order to vote with the
class to which they belong on the
basis of years on the campus may
petition the student relations com
mittee. Lists will be posted with
class affiliations based on Univer
sity standing.
The form of the petition is the
same as that used by candidates
filing for student body offices.
Blanks may be obtained at the
Co-op or the graduate manager’s
office, and must be turned in to
Tongue or the graduate manager’s
office at least 72 hours preceding
the election, which this year comes
on April 26.
Text Given
The complete text, of the amend
ment follows:
“Section 1.
"The class identity of members
of the associated students for the
purpose of voting in class elections
shall be determined on the basis of
the rules of classification of the
University. Class voting lists com
piled according to this classifica
tion shall be posted in a public
place or published in the Emerald
at least 15 days prior to the regu
lar or special class election.
Section 2.
“Any student wishing to change
his class identity for the purpose
of voting in class elections may
submit his request by petition to
the student relations committee,
provided, however, that such peti
tion be submitted at least 72 hours
prior to the general or special
election.
“Section 3.
“Such petitions shall be granted
or rejected by the student rela
tions committee on the basis of
regulations set down by resolution
of the executive council.”
Twenty Houses
Paired for Canoe

For Annual Junior Class
Weekend Pageant
Emperor Tongue strode up the
massive stone steps which usually
lead him into the Pantheon (Old
Libe, to you). The gathered rep
resentatives from the Campus
hung breathless on his every
move. Suddenly he wheeled and
with a mighty gesture prepared to
decide the fate of ten sorority and
fraternity groups huddled below
for the pairing of the canoe fete.
"Know ye,” he began majesti
cally in the true Tongue posture,
“that by these articles you all shall
enter the ark two by two or two
by four for all I care.”
“I shall burn Rome and put the
blame on you Christians,” with a
smirk and a jerk.
The crowd shuddered. Suddenly
a dark figure darted forth from
the closely massed people.

Campus Political Situation
Starts Full Steam Ahead as
Candidates File for Office
Frosh Display
More Interest
In Two Tickets
Other Classes Have Only
Single Aspirants
FILING IS OPTIONAL
Competition Among Upperclass
Students Expeeted After
Nominating Meets
Two complete tickets will battle
for sophomore class officers of
next year, while the best that the
oncoming juniors and seniors could
do was to furnish one ticket apiece
as midnight filing time last night
passed into history.
More opposition for the future
third-year and senior students was
forecast after nominating con
ventions scheduled for outgoing
freshman, sophomore, and junior
classes tomorrow evening, since
filing is optional.
Two in Field
Alan Davis, Alpha Tau Omega,
and Melvin Johnson, Sigma Chi,
will lock horns as heads of their
respective tickets next year for
the class of 1937. On Davis’ group
, are Helen Dodds, Pi Beta Phi,
!vice-president; Betty Coon, Alpha
Phi, secretary; and John Thomas,
independent, treasurer.
Johnson’s lineup consists of
Dorothy Hagge, Kappa Alpha
Theta, vice-president; Louise La
tham, Delta Gamma, secretary,
and Dale Hardisty, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, treasurer.
Lone Candidates File
The only aspirant to file for the
junior class presidency in 1934-35
was’ Ed Labbe, Chi Psi. Roberta
Moody, Gamma Phi Beta, vice
president, and Adele Sheehy, Al
pha Phi, secretary, are in the
Labbe contingent, which has yet
to find a candidate for treasurer.
Opposition to this group will in
all probability arise after the nom
inating convention tomorrow eve
ning.
Ed Meserve, Phi Kappa Psi, was
the only candidate to file last
night for senior class presidency
of next year. Collaborators on his
ticket are Marygolde Hardison,
Chi Omega, vice-president; Pearl
Base, Delta Gamma, secretary;
and George Schenk, Delta Upsilon,
treasurer. Meserve will probably
run against opposition after the
nominating convention of the out ■
going junior class tomorrow.

Parsons traced the evolution of re
ligion as it has developed coeval
with the development of man and
his culture.
Parsons continually stressed that
every breakdown in religion during
the course of history has been im

Cate Gives Report
To Interfraternity
Men on Averages
i
Relation Between Decile Rating of
Entering Students and Extra
Activities Noted
Presentation of a detailed study
of the relation between ACE-Prep
Percentile average, grade point
average and the extracurricular
activities of college men by Jack
Cate, senior in economics, was a
feature of the Interfraternity
council dinner held last night at
Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
The paper set forth the results
of a detailed study of 50 frater
nity men selected by Cate with a
view to securing those men who
had been in ■'•hool at least two
years, “so that there might be a
more valid basis for judging the
success of the men in extracurric
ular undertakings." The research
tended to prove that there is a
very noticeable correlation be
tween the decile ratings of enter
ing students, the grade point aver
ages and the extent of extracur
ricular activities participated in by
the students.
In complimenting Cate on his
study, Dean of Men Virgil Earl
commented on it as “the best of
its kind in existence at the present
time,” and urged fraternity lead
ers to read it at his office in John
son hall, where it will be left by
Cate.

Renner to Run
F§r President
Against Bauer
Contest for Highest Post
Is Assured
MEETING THURSDAY
Demand for Rare Claused Change,
Says Surprise Entry; Ticket
Slightly Altered
Again the contest for student
body offices became a two-sided
affair, when Joe Renner, who an
nounced his withdrawal from can
didacy last week, reconsidered and
decided to plunge again into the
contest with Malcolm Bauer for
the presidency.
As the midnight deadline ap
proached last night for the filing
of notices of candidacy, the Renner
forces announced the change in
policy and gave indication that
they would wage a spirited cam
paign. Bauer, when notified that
he would be opposed, expressed
complete satisfaction.
Bauer Satisfied
“I am glad that there is to be
a contest," he told the Emerald.
"From the standpoint of the cam
pus at large, a real race is desir
able, and I am grateful for the re
entry of so worthy an opponent
as Renner.”
Since his previous announce
ment that he would run for vice
president, Renner said, he has
been approached by many who
have expressed the desire to see
the office of president contested.
“Regardless of the outcome, they
want to have a race," he declared.
Ticket Changed
While Renner’s ticket under
went two changes, Bauer’s re
mained as announced last week:
Bill Berg, vice-president; Althea
Peterson, senior woman; Gail Mc
Oredie, secretary; Robert Miller,
executive man; Cosgrove LaBarre,
junior finance officer.
On the Renner ticket, Norman
Lauritz, who had withdrawn last
week in order to permit Renner
to run for vice-president, returned
to file candidacy for that position.
A second change placed Erwin
“Biff”. Nilsson in the senior man
position in place of John Casey.
The rest of the ticket remained as
previously announced: Elizabeth
Bendstrup, senior woman; Nancy
Archbold, secretary, and Howard
Patterson, junior man.
Formal nominations will be
made at the student body assem
bly tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock, at which time each candi
date will be introduced.
Pianist Shows Self - Control
In Recital Despite Accident
By JOHN GRIBBLE
Norma Lyon, Marshfield and
campus pianist, giving her senior
recital last night in the auditor
ium of the music building, demon
strated not only a fine musical
sensitivity, but a perfect sense of
self-control.
Starting her triumvirate pro
gram with Scarlatti’s "Pastorale,"
and two Bach numbers, “Intrata"
in G minor and the G major "Ga
votte," Miss Lyon showed at once
a refreshing comprehension of
Bach's musical style and translat
ed it most satisfyingly to the
small audience.
With merely a pause, she pro
ceeded to her second group, made
up of Beethoven’s "Sonata," Op.
27, No. 1. Consisting of Andante,
allegro molto vivace, adagio, and
allegro vivace, the sonata gave
some trouble. The last two move
ments, perhaps the most difficult
in the composition with their
quickly massed chords, taxed Miss
Lyon’s small hands to some extent,
though her obvious knowledge of
the musical feeling of the selection
greatly counteracted this difficill
ty
With her entry into her third and
last group, consisting of three De
bussy numbers with their charac
teristically peculiar harmonies anti
harmonic progressions, “Delphic
Dancers," “Little Shepherd," and
“Serenade to a Doll,” and closing
with a Spanish dance, “La Vida
Breve," by De Falla, Miss Lyon’s
technical difficulties vanished. In
Debussy’s “Little Shepherd” espe
cially, did the performer show her
self to advantage, bringing out the
tonal picture so nicely that one
could easily visualize one of those
pastorale scenes so vividly por
trayed in old English literature.
Despite an occasional roughness
in technique and an infrequent
killing of a tone, Miss Lyon’s pro
gram was musically satisfying and
complete due to her ability to por
tray good musical feeling.
What was, to a pianist, a bad
accident occurred sometime during
the latter part of the program and
showed the performer’s self-control
and determination, since not even
her teacher, Jane Thacher, was
aware that Miss Lyon had cut her
thumb quite badly and was, un
noticeably to the audience, serious
ly handicapped in her playing.
