Carnival, which is being staged tonight in McArthur court, beginning at 7:30. Handbills ; announcing the big funfest have been circulated and for those who have not yet pe rused the contents of one of these attractive sheets, the following bits are reprinted. “No one under 80“ . . . and on the next line, “can help but have a good time at the A.W.S. CARNIVAL. Bigger — better—more fun, and Ha! cheap er, and—“It aint no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones,” to the tunes of Art Holman’s Idiots. Arrangements are nearly com plete and according to the direc torate in charge, the carnival will be more elaborate, extensive, and more like a real carnival than in former years. rnucrmufs, sororities rairett The men’s and women’s houses have been paired off for booth concessions and prizes will be of fered for the booth that takes in the most money, and the one which is judged to be decorated in the most clever fashion. The concessions will include all trin kets, nicknacks, and attractions characteristic of carnivals. One of the most popular attrac tions in former years has been the roulette wheel, which will be on hand again this year. In addition to this popular game of chance, there will be guinea pig and water skipper races, beano, blackjack, all types of “throwing things", games, and a dozen other devices for the amusement of the student and town public. Tickets Five Cents Prices for all the attractions will be within the range of college students’ allowances, since 5-cent tickets will be the basis of all transactions.. The carnival directorate is head ed by Mary Snider; assisting her with preparations for the event are Pearl Base, Helen Wright, Henriette Horak, Josephine Waf fle, Ann-Reed Burns, Gail Mc Credie, Ebba Wicks, Reva Herns, Janet McMicken, Ruth McClain, Betty Lundstrom, Marjory Will, and Virginia Howard. Oregon Students on KOAC A group of Oregon students un der the direction of John L. Cas teel, head of the speech depart ment, broadcast a discussion of current- questions every Thursday evening at 8:15 o’clock over radio station KOAC. Their program is entitled “The Student Forum.’’ Value of Various Paper Features Shown in Survey Value of feature material ac cording to the Gallup reader in terest survey was discussed b> Arthur S. Rudd, sales manager ol the Publishers’ Syndicate of Chi cago, Friday morning at 9 before Dean Eric W. Allen’s editing class in the Journalism building. Results of the Gallup reader in terest survey, determining what sections of the newspapers are read most widely, show that the crossword puzzles are worked by only 9 percent of the reading pub lic contacted. Even though this feature is in the minority, Rudd said, there would be strong disap proval if it were discontinued. Columns on New York are read by 20 percent, and short story fea tures by 30 percent. Rudd stated that short story features were pre ferred to serials, as a bad serial would “throw off” the readers for quite a length of time, while a few bad short story features would not. Serials are read by 10 or 11 per cent of the readers. Music Programs To Be Presented In Comin« Week O Spittle to Give Senior Presentation; Bryson, Faculty Recital; Mrs. Thacher, Piano Numbers Three recitals are to be given next week for followers of music, including two faculty and one sen ior presentation. The programs are John Spittle, senior recital, Mon day night; Roy Bryson, assistant professor of music, faculty recital, Tuesday night; and Jane Thacher, professor of piano, request pro gram Thursday night.

He par ticipated in the Guild Hall Gaieties, and is a member of Phi Mu Alpha, men’s music honorary. His pro gram will be divided into four se ries, with foreign numbers pre dominating in the first three groups, and American music in the last series. He will be accompan ies by Maxine Hill. Bryson’s appearance in a reti tal is his first in two years. The program, the second faculty re cital of the year, will be compar atively short because of the warm spring weather. Several numbers from Roland Hayes’ program will be sung, and most of the songs will be in English. A large variety ranging from “Go Down Moses” to “Ave Maria” will be given. He will be accompanied by Marguerite Spath Bryson. Many numbers in Mrs. Thacher’s program are request numbers. Brahms and Chopin will be includ ed in her presentation.

I Alpha Delta Sigma Members rRe-view’ Campus-made Film On the eve of Homecoming, No- ] vember 15, 1929, a huge crowd stood expectantly outside the Mc Donald theater. It was the ‘‘World’s Premier” of “Ed’s Coed,” Oregon's own campus movie. Each person had paid $1.50 for his or her seat, and short-skirted girls and their escorts waited more or less patiently for the doors to open on the widely publicized picture “planned, plotted, produced, and played by students of the Univer sity of Oregon.” Yesterday afternoon a handful of members of Alpha Delta Sigma, men’s advertising honorary, George Godfrey, and one or two Emerald representatives sat in the com fortable loges of the Colonial thea ter and wise-cracked their way through a showing of the five-year old film. Their purpose was to note possibilities for sound effects to accompany the showing of the pic ture during “Senior Leap Week.” They expect to give one showing about 8:30 on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, and a special midnight mat” for senior women at 11 o’clock Friday night. The 1934 re-viewers laughed heartily at the comedy sequences— and at most of the others. Only the brief appearance of the “Grand Old Man of Oregon,’’ the late Dean John Straub, sobered them for a moment. Even Bill Hayward evoked laughter as he cordially complimented the star sprinter. George Godfrey was handsome and suave as the dean of men in the movie, but he started an argu ment in the loges each time he ap peared, as he threatened to ruth lessly prune those parts. Particu larly touching was the scene in the George Hitchcock library (beg par don, the dean of men’s library!), when Dean Godfrey had a heart to heart talk with the villain of the piece about his grades . . . and was the villain rude! “If that is all,” says he, icily, “I have a date wait ing.” Some millrace scenes were love ly, but the remarkable manner in which the characters moved from one familiar place to another par ticularly drew the attention of the lounging spectators. The leading lady's house was strikingly similar to the Gamma Phi Beta domicile. The adjacent bridge was where it belonged, but the sisters held a dance on the tennis court up at the Jewett house on Fairmount (Continued on Paye Three) Rural Schools To Hold Music Tourney Here B League Arranged for Smaller Schools CUP TO BE AWARDED Piano, Vocal Solo, Quartets Trios, Anil Glee Clubs Are Listed On Program The school of music will be a Mecca for rural high school musi cians of every part of Lane county today, when the first annual Lane county B league high school music tournament gets under way. Anne Landsbury Beck has been busy this week making arrangements for the all-day event. The purpose of the event is to give students of smaller high schools an opportunity to express their talent without the stiff com petition of the large high schools, Mrs. Beck stated. She pointed out that B league schools are those with less than 150 students, and that many were but half that number. The numbers have been ar langed with a view to their suit ability for the accomplishments of the students. Three boys’ and three girls’ vocal solos, piano and violin solos, and trios, quartets and glee club numbers will occupy the regular program. In these groups, three points will be awarded for first place, two for second, and one for third. The school winning the most points at the end of the program will be awarded a cup by the Lane county bankers’ associa tion. Contest Program Listed At the end of the contest events, the massed boys’ and girls’ glee clubs will give three numbers. The program for the day, and en trants in each event will be: 8:30 to 9 a. m.—Registration. 9—Special selections, orchestra (Continued on Page Three) Liberal Students’ Organizer to Talk On War Prospect Oregon Radical Club Sponsor of Speech to Be Given Monday Night in Johnson “Shall It Be War, Mr. Roose velt?" is the challenging title of a talk to be given Monday night in 110 Johnson by Monroe M.

The meeting "is open to the public. The speaker is an ex-president of the student L.I.D., and now is a member of the national execu tive committee. Among noted of ficers of the L.I.D. are Stuart Chase, treasurer, and Harry W. Laidler and Norman Thomas, ex ecutive directors.

PetitionFavors Swimming as Major Sport Document Circulated in Men’s Living Groups FIVE GIVEN AWARDS Executive Council Agrees That All Receiving Awards Must Have A.S.U.O. Membership Cards The petition, circulated in the men’s living organizations yester day providing for the reinstate ment of swimming as a major sport was sponsored by certain members of the Order of the O, but not officially by the group, ac cording to a member of the organ ization, who declined to give his name. A former petition by the Order of the O to the athletic committee of the A. S. U, O, was refused be cause, under present arrangements, it is possible for an outstanding swimmer to be awarded a major letter upon recommendation of the coach, according to Tom Stoddard, assistant graduate manager. He said that the reason for the refusal was not because of any increased cost of administration of swim ming as a major sport. The form of the petition was as “We, the undersigned members of the A.S.U.O., hereby request that swimming at the U. of O. be made a major sport and major awards be presented for the past season.” Five members of the swimming team, Jim Reed, Wallace Hug, Forrest Kirby, Bob Needham, and Francis Oglesby were awarded major letters by action of the ath letic committee, which was ap proved at the executive council meeting Wednesday. Eight other men received minor awards. The Executive council also ap proved the athletic committee’s action requiring those swimmers earning awards to have A. S. U. O. cards in order to be eligible to re ceive their letters. Yesterday’s pe tition asks that major awards be presented for the past season, mak ing no mention of the student body membership requirement. Potluck Dinner Slated Pi Lambda Theta, women’s edu cation honorary, and Phi Delta Kappa, men’s education honorary, will meet Monday evening at Dean Jewell’s home for a potluck din ner.

This vear the wo men have set Wednesday, April 25, as the date and 4 p. m. the time to select an editor and managing editor and get plans under way for an edition which they expect to bring them their first victory since Betty Anne Macduff piloted them on May 15, 1931. The staff positively will NOT be made up of journalism school women only. English comp classes will be secured for material, and any woman on the campus who has a secret desire to be a reporter is urged —even begged to attend the meeting- Wednesday afternoon. Wo men interested in spring sports are particularly desired, for the men have been snickering audibly at the prospects of the ladies putting out a sports page. Proofreaders and copyreaders will be needed as well as reporters. The women’s paper will be out Saturday morning, May 19, which means that most of the work on it will be done Friday, May 18. The men’s edition will be out May 5, and a freshman edition—non-com petitive—on May 12.

At the right is Felicia Frisky, candidate for senior woman, taking umbrage. The scar on her left cheek is a memento of a student duel during carefree days at Heidelberg. “Put Ignorance In The Igloo” is | to be the campaign cry of the Jukes con-Fusion ticket. The slo gan was selected yesterday at a meeting of the executive campaign committee in telephone booth No. 3 at the S.P. depot. The Jukes platform combines ambitious aims with utter futility. Some of the things to be demanded by the party will be: A chair for the Pioneer statue, and an umbrella for the Pioneer Mother. Davenports and a beer tap on the law school curb. Dismissal of the entire faculty. No classes before 11 a. m. No classes after 11 a. m. Pullman service in all class rooms. , New collars for Bruno, Gyp, and Tom Tongue. J. Jorgensen Jukes, con-Fusion candidate for president, laid down his party policies last night in a spasm with newspaper reporters. “What was it that our pilgrim fathers fought and died for?" he thundered. "What was it that was so bravely protected by those gal lant boys of fourteen hundred and ninety-two, seventeen hundred and seventy-.six, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, and nineteen hundred and seventeen ? DON’T LOOK AT ME; I DON’T KNOW!!!’’ The Jukes party will present a May Pole dance this afternoon back of third base at the ball game.

Spencer, pro fessor of law and chairman of the faculty committee appointed to pass upon petitions for military exemptions. Students will be excused from military training for the follow ing reasons: Physical unfitness, certified by the University physi cian; non-citizenship; age beyond 30 years; previous active military service; conflict of class periods where the taking of military would make it impossible for the student to take some other course neces sary for graduation; conflict of working hours where military would make it impossible to retain remunerative employment neces sary for the student to remain in the University; definitely estab lished grounds of conscientious ob jections, but not necessarily ob jections based on principles of po litical or public policy. Other Grounds Considered This tentative list of grounds for exemption does not preclude the committee from considering other reasons submitted by petitioners. The procedure for obtaining ex emptions from military is the same as heretofore. The student applies directly to the military depart ment, and if exemption cannot be (CcnYtlniieif oh Pdi/e Three) Periodical Shows New Educational Setup in Oregon Old Oregon Magazine Out Today; Activities of Koseburg Alumni Recorded In the last issue of Old Oregon, alumni monthly publication, which is out today, is found a lengthy review of the new educational set up in Oregon, together with rec ommendations and warnings by Robert K.

' , Gordon Swats Home Run For Victory ERRORS PLENTIFUL Teams Will Play Second Contest On Reinhart Field This Afternoon at 3:30 After gaining an 8-to-6 victory over Linfield college yesterday af ternoon at McMinnville, the Ore gon varsity baseball nine will con clude its schedule of preconference games today in a return meeting with the same team on Reinhart field starting at 3:30. A circuit clout by Joe Gordon in the sixth inning with two men on proved the margin of victory for the Ducks in a contest with few hits and a total of 13 errors almost evenly divided between the two teams. , Ike Donin hurled six innings of five-hit ball for the winners and was in trouble only in a bad third inn ing, although he allowed only one safety in that canto. Don McFad den went into the box in the sev enth and was touched for only one hit. Scores Come in Spurts Coach Reinhart’s nine confined its scoring to two big innings, the fourth and the sixth, while the op posing team spread its counters throughout the game. In the fourth, Wes Clausen and Ray Koch walked, Gordon singled, Mike Hunt and Ivan Elliott got free passes, and Mickey Vail doubled to ac count for three of Oregon’s runs. Entering the sixth on the short end of a 4-to-3 score, the Duck nine started a rally that was stopped only, after five counters had been scored. Vail, Maury Van Vliet, and Koch all drew walks when Helser, Linfield hurler, could n’t find the plate and Clausen got on by virtue of an error. Then with two 'men still on the paths Gordon stepped up and drove out his four-base swat to sew up the game for the Lemon-Yellow.

Friends adorn each girl’s claims to the queenship with being state ly, well-poised, wearing clothes well, commanding in activities— unanimously as having, in the highest essence, all the attributes of regality. The 10 highest in the order of votes received are Margaret Ann Howland, Josephine Waffle, Cyn thia Liljeqvist, Virginia Howard, Miriam Henderson, Elaine Unter mann, Elizabeth Bendstrup, Mary tine New, Lucy Ann Wendell, and Lucille Stewart. J. Jorgensen Jukes was well up in the race, but his name was withdrawn in the counting as it is not believed that he is a member of the stu dent body. From the 10 nominees, the queen and four princesses will be select ed in an election to be conducted next Wednesday. Students must present their A. S. U. O. cards at the polls. The queens-aspirant and their qualities follow: Margaret Ann Howland, Alpha Phi from Portland. One of 20 girls chosen on the campus last fall for entry in the American Girl con test. She modeled at the Gamma Alpha Chi fashion dance this spring. Her golden brown hair, her blue eyes and her tall, stately fig ure won her a place of queen of the May at Grant high school. Josephine Waffle, Chi Omega from Astoria, a blond with blue eyes and a beautiful complexion, and tall with a good figure. She is active in campus activities— secretary of the A.W.S. last year, member of Phi Theta, Kwama, president of Chi Omega, women’s debate manager, member of the College Verse society, and awhale of a good student. She make a 2.5 average. Cynthia Liljeqvist is a Kappa Alpha Theta from Marshfield. She is a tall brunette with dark eyes and a yen for journalism. She was president of the frosh com mission in her first year. As a (Continued on Page Three)
