AWS Carnival Is Booked for Gala Opening Saturday Gatos of McArthur Court to Swinj \ Back on Bizarre Scene 1 Of Revelry Only two more days until th< A/W.S. Carnival! The sound o hammer, saw, clanging- boards and all other tools and material; which are essential to the con siruction of 22 booths for the an nual fun fest, echo through tin spacious area of massive McAr thur court, in spite of the nev “firtex” coat recently added t< make the court more sound proof April 21, Saturday, at 7:30 thf gates of McArthur, bizarre carni I val grounds for one night, wil I swing open, and treat the public to all the thrills and excitemenl of an old-fashioned carnival, witt balloons, music, popcorn, peanuts confetti, hotdogs, and all the other concessions which are characteris tic and essential to carnivals. There will be dancing on the main floor of the court, in a spe cially roped off section, with Sher wood Burr furnishing the incen tive to shuffle. Those afflicted with the gambling itch may try their hand at the roulette wheel, and try their guessing powers on the guinea pig and skipper races. Humor has it that the Delts have within the vaults of their base ment many additions to the two pigs purchased before the carnival date was postponed from the orig inal March date. Several blessed events, coupled with the tendency of the guinea pigs to reproduce with no regard for birth control, have furnished an ample supply of pigs for the races Saturday eve ning. Many students who frequent the shady haunts of the millrace have noticed the shortage of the elusive skippers on the waters of the race. Much investigation has revealed that the unsuspecting creatures have been maliciously capi'ured, and are in training for the races at the carnival. There are those who say that the insects are on a raw beef-steak and orange juice diet in preparation for the events. Other concessions will include black jack, hammer throwing and basketball tossing contests, beano, “throw balls at the nigger's head” raffles, having many valuable pieces of merchandise, and a hun dred and one other gala events. Booths with the concessions will be managed by men’s and wo men’s living organizations, and cups will be awarded to the spon sors of the booth which takes in the most money, and to the one which is decorated in the most novel way. Everything offered for sale and amusement will be sold through the medium of 5-cent tickets, and Mary Snider, chairman of the car nival, urges students to begin emptying their little brother’s dime banks. Bates May Teach On Portland Staff Dr. Ernest Bates', who for sev eral years has been doing literary work in New York City, has been invited to teach English in the Portland summer session. His ac ceptance has not yet been re ceived, but Dean Alfred Powers, of the state extension division, feels confident that the position will be accepted. Sydney Bell, well known Port land painter of portraits, will be on the Portland staff teaching general and advanced courses in portrait drawing and painting. Work under Bell will be arranged so that the class will meet in a studio building in the city. Dr. Bates was formerly head of the English department at the University, and is widely known in Oregon as a scholar and lec turer. He has written two books since he left Oregon, “This Land of Liberty,” and the biography of Mary Baker Eddy. Huffaker Will Speak Dr. C. L. Huffaker, professor of education, will speak Tuesday night over radio station KOAC at 7:30.

Rae, assistant professor of journalism.

V. Boyer. The difficulty faced by the board of higher education is io work out a plan wherein there will be some student control, and at the same time to make the revision conform with the ruling handed down by Attorney-General I. H. Van Win kle, he said. Attorney-General Van Winkle has advised that it is valid for student body dues to be collected, provided that they are devoted to general educational activities, but that as the fund of student body dues is now administered, sub scription to membership must be made optional, inasmuch as the fees are turned over to a private corporation, as he considers the A.S.U.O. to be. The board of higher education, in its most recent pronouncement, has decided that student body subscription will be made compul sory again next year. Jn order to fit this order with the advice of the attorney-general, the revision must provide for some sort of board of financial control, prob ably to be composed of faculty members. Every effort will be made to allow for as much stu dent word in administering the finances of the student union as possible, President Boyer said. It is believed that faculty con trol of A.S.U.O. money will raise the legal hitch that has arisen from considering the student body a private corporation and, there fore, ineligible to control a fund of contributions made compulsory by the state. It is probable, the president be lieves, that the chancellor—Chan cellor Kerr until his successor is appointed—together with Presi dent Peavy of Oregon State col lege and himself, will collect in formation and be in position to submit plans to the committee on curriculum and finances at the next meeting of the board of higher education. Also, it is planned that the meeting of the board which passes on the student reorganization will be conducted openly, to allow the expression of student opinion. 12 Professors to Visit High Schools Twelve members of the faculty of the University have been sched uled for commencement addresses in high schools by the extension di vision.

Carpenter, former dean of the University of Oregon law school, now professor of law at the Uni versity of Southern California; “The Compensation of Promoters,” by W. J.

Brand in an address given before the local chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, business administration honorary, Wednesday night at the Anchor age. Speaking on the “Modern Ten dency of the Law,” Brand said that administrative law has become a necessity because it is manifest ly injudicious for the average lay man, “the twelve good men and true,” to pass on technical mat ters for which they have had no training or special fitness. The common law is especially fitted to pass on non-technical matters and on all questions of social justice, he said. In the absence of the administra tive law in this increasingly spe cialized world, the courts are faced with the necessity of deciding on questions which specialists alone (Continued on Page Four) Women’s Advertising Group Invites Pledges Gamma Alpha Chi, women’s pro fessional advertising fraternity, has invited the following pledges to membership: Mary Jane Jen kins, Peggy Davidson, Arlyne Ol stad, Mary Starbuck, and Mary Banks.

Oregon Campus, Coeds Are Most Beautiful, Thinks Alum After nine years of covering the United States and Canada for va rious newspaper syndicates, Ar thur S. Rudd, 1924 graduate of the school of journalism and editor of the Emerald in 1923-24, returned to the campus Thursday still think ing that "Oregon has the most beautiful campus in the country and the most beautiful coeds.” Rudd, who received a master’s degree in journalism at Columbia university in 1925, has since that time visited a town a day through out the United States and Canada as field representative for news paper syndicates. He has been sales manager for the Publishers’ Syndicate of Chicago for several years. When Rudd was editor of the Emerald, a Sunday edition was published which contained poetry, essays* and other literary works contributed by the students .There was very little news in this issue, only the leading stories of Satur day, such as the results of games. In this year also the size of the Emerald was changed from a six column to a seven-column page. “I have run into many Oregon alumni on my trips, and we are all very pleased with Old Oregon as a magazine. We feel that it is a definite credit to the school. Bob Allen, editor, is to be complimented on the type of work done,” Rudd said. "The standing of the Oregon school of journalism is recognized in newspaper offices throughout the country.” Rudd is affiliated with Phi Gam ma Delta, social fraternity, Sigma Delta Chi, men’s professional jour nalism fraternity, and Friars, sen ior men’s service honorary.

Clay E. Aimer Will Be Guest Speaker Sunday The guest speaker of the vesper service sponsored by the student council Sunday night is to be Clay E. Palmer of the Congregational church. Tbe service will be held in Alumni hall at 6:15.

Neuberger, former editor of the Emerald, found him self the unwitting recipient of a “scholarship” to “some distant eastern college,” under provisions of a resolution unanimously passed at the student assembly held yes terday for nominating student body officers. The broad gibe was carried out to the extent that students posted at two vantage points on the cam pus rang bells and solicited con tributions to the “scholarship fund.” The move was sponsored supposedly because of Neuberger’s series of attacks, over a period of two years, on A.S.U.O. govern ment. Royer Expresses Regret President C. V. Boyer expressed his regret over the action of the i student body in these words: '■“Fair-minded students will recall this action with regret in calmer moments. It was unwise and un called-for.” The resolution, presented by Ralph Schomp, junior in art and architecture, was read by Schomp into the speaker’s microphone. At his return from the microphone, Tom Tongue, president, attempted to ask the will of the assembly, but was drowned out by shouts of approval from the audience. It was seconded by a score of per sons. Neuberger Answers Neuberger was not slow to re taliate. He gave out the following statement: "I am glad that the student body at the University of Oregon (and the prompters behind it) are at last interested in schol arship funds for students. I ap preciate the honor of being the first selected to benefit by such a fund. “Unfortunately, however, I am not one of those in need of such aid, whether I attend here or at some point so far distant as to give the politicians here the peace of mind they seek. “Therefore, I am going to urge that the fund be made as large as possible and that it be distributed (Continued on Page Four) ‘Old Oregon’ Will Be Special Edition The Old Oregon magazine for May will be a special edition for the summer sessions at the Uni versity in Eugene and at the Port land extension center, according to Dean Alfred W. Powers, who was in Eugene yesterday. Prof. George Turnbull of the school of journalism, Is preparing the material for this special issue. Summer school plans for all of the Oregon state institutions of high er education are rapidly being completed. The preliminary an nouncements for all of the schools will be ready for the press early next week. Dates for the six weeks’ session are June 18 to July 27. Lists of the courses in all the schools will be completed this week. Dean Powers to Attend Extension Meet in May Dean Alfred W. Powers, head of the Oregon State extension divi sion, will attend the annual meet ing of the National University Ex tension association in Chicago on May 17 and 18. He will also at tend the meeting of the American Association for Adult Education in Washington, D. C., from May 21 to May 24.

S. U. O. at the annual assembly held for nominations of student officers in Gerlinger hall yesterday. Two complete tickets were nom inated, all members of which filed intentions to run with Tom Tongue, president of the A.S.U.O., on Tuesday, according to the re quirement of the student body con stitution. Nominees for vice-president were both juniors in business adminis tration. Those nominated for exec utive woman were Elizabeth Bend strup, junior in history; and Al thea Peterson, junior in English. Others Nominated For secretary were nominated Gail McCredie, junior in business administration; and Nancy Ach bold, junior in English. Bob Mil ler, junior in law; and Biff Nilsson, junior in business administration, were nominated for the office of executive man. Cosgrove LaBarre, sophomore in business administra tion; and Howard Patterson, soph omore in business administration, were junior man nominees. Kenner Speaks Renner approved the action of the state board in reestablishing the compulsory fee, because it closed the ever-widening gap be tween the fraternity and sorority groups and the independent stu dents. He said that a student body should be democratic with no sharp dividing lines. Realizing that athletics is one of the best mediums for the Uni versity, he pledged his support to all athletic programs, both varsity and intramural. He favors the pub lication of a true, uncolored report of business transacted by the ex ecutive council. Renner, agreeing that the alum ni should have some voice in stu dent affairs because of their con tributions to the funds, however, stated that under present condi tions their vote is proportional to their interests, and as is desirable, control is retained by the students. He favors an annual audit of the financial standing of the A.S.U.O. in order to give each student, who is a stockholder in the associated students corporation, the feeling that there is nothing withheld from him. Bauer Speaks Bauer recommended that the sports now included in the minor sports program, which are swim ming, tennis, and golf, be elevated to the position of major sports as soon as the proper financial ar rangements can be made. Publica tion of a student handbook for 1934-35 was advocated. Bauer pointed out that there has been no such book published since 1931. Claiming that the students them selves are left out of student gov (Continued on Page Four) Charge Will Be Made Students Paying Fees Later Than Saturday Final date for payment of second installments of spring term fees is Saturday noon, April 21, and delinquent stu dents will be charged at the rate of 25 cents a day after that time until Saturday, April 28, when they will be subject to dismissal from the University for non-payment.
