BALLOTS SEPARATE
Six Students Run as Aspirants
For Positions; Report for
Year Presented
Student body cards will not be
required in order to vote tomor
row for members of the Co-op
board for the coming' year. When
the board was organized, it was
stipulated that any student at
tending the University is eligible
to serve as a member of the group
or to vote for one. Separate bal
lots will be used at the election,
which will be held in conjunction
with the student body elections to
morrow.
David Crosse and Reinhart Knud
sen were nominated for the posi
tion of sophomore member to
serve next year, at the annual
meeting yesterday of the Co-op
association. One second-year mem
ber is elected each year.
Four More Nominated
For the two positions open to
junior and senior members, Donald
Farr, Warren Gill, Hale Thomp
son, and Ed Wheelock were nomi
nated. At least two nominations
for sophomore member and four
for upperclass members must be
made if the elections are declared
to be legal.
A report of the business trans
acted at the University Co-op
store during the past year was
made at the meeting by M. F.
McClain, manager. The store is
in good financial condition, ac
cording to the report. McClain
brought out the fact that in spite
of the depression, the Co-op has
managed to keep the same number
of members on its payroll.
Textbooks Discussed
“As long as the store can stand
it, we believe it is better to have
as many working as possible be
cause the employes need it,” de
clared McClain.
The subject of textbooks was
discussed. McClain stated that
the books were being sold for the
same price as in stores at all the
rest of the universities and col
leges in the United States in spite
of thd express costs. Possibilities
of lowering the high rents and
competing successfully with other
stores in town were also aired.
All Women Interested

Issue Asked to Report
All women interested in work
in on the women’s edition of
the Oregon Daily Emerald are
requested to attend a meeting
in 105 Journalism today at 4
o'clock, at which time an editor

elected.
The coed’s publication, com
peting against the all men’s
edition, will appear on Satur
day, May 19.
ASUO Candidates
Candidates for the president and vice-president of the A.S.U.O.
are well posted on the history of the University of Oregon ajul the
student body, but they're a bit hazy, for the most part, about the
number of persons on the executive council.
Yesterday the Emerald questioned Joe Renner, Malcolm Bauer,
Bill Berg and Norman Lauritz on matters of policy and fact: on the
history of the A.S.U.O. and opinions on minor sports, student fees,
beer, and independent students. Without comment, the answers are
given below.
Answers to the five questions of fact concerning the University
follow:
There are fifteen members on the executive council, two of whom
are non-voting.
Non-members of the A.S.U.O. are members of the Co-op store
corporation.
Executive council appoints the graduate manager.
The University was founded in 1876.
The Co-op was incorporated in 1920.
The interviews were conducted by Doug Polivka, editor-elect of
the Emerald. Helen Dodds and Alene Walker assisted. The questions
and answers follow:

Chick Burrow Will Furnish
Sound Effects for Old Movie
The heroine walks daintily
across the screen—but, oh, the
sound of those footsteps! (Don't
be disturbed—it’s just Chick Bur
row, producer of sound effects for
the silent film, “Ed's Coed,” rub
bing sandpaper together.)
"Ed’s Coed,” produced at the
University five years ago, will be
reshown at the Colonial theater
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,
April 26, 27, 28, at 8:30 with sound
effects and music as a feature of
Senior Leap Week. A special mid
night matinee for senior women
will be shown at 11 o'clock. Lee
Tracy in “I’ll Tell the World," a
first-run picture in Eugene, will
be shown with the college film.
Accompanying the villain’s ama
teur attempts in a canoe, one can
hear plainly the plomp-plomp of
his delicate strokes. When a door
slams—the result is sounds of shat
tering glass. New—absolutely new
—sound effects will be heard
through the regular sound equip
ment of the theater. Alpha Delta
Sigma,men’s professional advertis
ing fraternity, is sponsoring the
show.
Here are a few things to watch
for: Phyllis Van Kimmell, feminine
comedy lead .driving an old Ford.
(When the time came to shoot this
scene it was discovered that the
beautiful coed could not drive a
car. After a lot of persuasion—ask
George Godfrey if it wasn’t a lot—
she finally consented to drive the
relic the short distance required.
As the scene was enacted a dog
ran across in front of the camera.
But they left the shots just as they
were rather than try to get the car
driven again.)
Then when they were ready to
shoot the scenes where the heroine,
frightened by a snake, falls in the
millrace and the brave hero res
cues her—the discovery was made
that neither the heroine or the
brave hero could swim—doubles
had to be secured to play these
scenes.
An unexpected scene was almost
shot, when Billy Eastman, male
comedy lead, was backing away
from the Anchorage. A car speed
ing down the highway narrowly
missed the backing car.

Music Tourney
To Be Conducted
At U of O May 7-11
Two Piano Contests to TaHe Place
In Portland, Eugene; David
Campbell to Be Here
Two piano tournaments will be
held in Oregon sometime during
Music week, May 7-11, stated Dean
John M. Landsbury, with one at
Portland and the other at Eugene.
Landsbury will judge the Portland
tourney, while David Campbell,
well-known Portland concert pian
ist, will be in Eugene for the cam
pus event.
“The tournaments do not seek
to establish competition between
students,” Landsbury avowed, “but
rather wish to encourage competi
tion against a standard. The main
purpose of the event is to increase
interest in the piano. This interest
suffered a sharp decline with the
advent of the radio, but there has
been a decided reaction of late,
which may help the piano to re
gain its leadership in musical af
fairs.”
The events scheduled are part of
a national undertaking, with Music
week designated as the official date
for the tournaments. Eugene and
Portland were designated as the
Oregon headquarters, but in the
j future there may be a tournament
in every large sized town, stated
[ the dean.
Frosh Counsellors
Must Sign by 4 Today
With Dean of Women
All girls interested in becom
ing frosh counsellors must sign
up by 4 o’clock today in the dean
of women’s office. This is the
last possible opportunity to
submit names for the positions.
Girls signing up must plan on
returning to school next fall,
have a “C” average, and be in
terested in the work. Special
permission has been granted by
the A.S.U.O. to allow girls who
are not student body members
to become frosh counsellors as
the greater portion of the work
will be done next fall, when stu
dent fees will be compulsory.
Old Cinema Being Revived
Above is a picture of the camera action on a scene of “Ed’s Coed,” a moving picture made on the
Oregon campus several years ago. It will be shown at the Colonial as part of Senior Leap Week fes
tivities. Helen Allen and Verne Elliot are the two actors being photographed.
Bryson Displays
Musical Control
In Vocal Recital
Opera, Spirituals Represented on
Program; Large Crowd in
Attendance
Control seemed to be the watch
word of the vocal music of Roy
Bryson, baritone, and assistant
professor of music in the Univer
sity school of music in last night’s
recital.
Operatic music was represented
by the prologue to “Pagliacci,”
and “Chanson du Toreador” from
“Carmen.” A light note was added
by “The Green-eyed Dragon” into
which Bryson injected a lively
sense of humor.
He also sang, as an introduction
to the third and last group of
numbers on the program, "Go
Down Moses,” a negro spiritual
which was sung by Roland Hayes
when he appeared here.
“La Fartida” by Alvarez, and
Dido’s Lament by Purcell were
two numbers which called for deli
cate and careful interpretation.
At the completion of the pro
gram, Bryson repeated “Sometimes
When Night Is Nigh” as an en
core.
One of the largest audiences to
attend either faculty or student re
citals this year was in attendance
last night.
Seniors of University
High to Present Play
“The Tiger House,” a mystery
comedy with sound effects will be
presented by the senior class of
University high school on April
26 and 27.
Members of the cast are: Lor
raine Barker, William Sutherland,
Gayle Buchanan ,Betty Jeanne
Fleming, Tom Miles, Kenneth Kirt
ley, Dick Hill, Dean Douglas and

secret.
The play is under the -personal
attention and supervision of Harry
L. Keats Jr., who is assisted by
Jean Shelley, stage manager: Fred
erick Heidel, business manager;
Marietta Conklin, advertising;
Theodora Prescott, prompter.
Barnes Appointed Head
Dr. Donald Barnes, member of
the history faculty at the Univer
sity of Washington, has been ap
pointed head of the history depart
ment at Adalbert college, a branch
of the Western Reserve university
at Cleveland, Ohio. Barnes taught!
in the history department of the j
University of Oregon from 1922 to!
1930.
Breath Taking Stunts
In Clouds Scheduled
For Today—Politics?
An air circus will be staged
over the campus at high noon
today if reports received over
the telephone from an uniden
tified party may be considered
reliable.
All variety of stunts will be
featured, according to the re
port. Undoubtedly, this is an
other development in the cur
rent political managerie.
Politics Proceed:
Buffeted rBuffalo9
Baffled by fBunk9
Normal progress was reported
on the political front yesterday, ex
cept for the giant bull-fest in
which two opposing political arm
ies for sophomore offices are in
dulging.
The Davis forces called out the'
giant bull, or buffalo, if you
choose, used for an ornament at
the Whiskerino this year, decorat
ing it with a banner reading, “This
is no bull—Vote Davis, sophomore
president.”
Losing no time, the Johnson
gang called out its sign painting
crew and decorated the—well, call
it animal—with another banner, in
scribed, "Don’t be buffaloed by the
bull—Vote the Johnson ticket.”
Student mathematicians might
be put to figuring how many signs
would grace the campus, if an op
posing sign were placed in position
every two hours, but then, the
campaign is nearly over.
Position for Assistant
In Languages Is Open
Anyone interested in becoming a
graduate assistant in French or
Spanish for next year is asked to
apply as soon as possible to the
University Romance language de
partment.
Two graduate assistantships
with accompanying stipends of
$465 each ,are open to graduate
students for 1934-35. The positions
would require six or eight hours a
week of teaching French and
Spanish courses, as well as the con
tinuation of regular graduate stud
ies.
Infirmary Has Few
Ralph Pugmii'e returned to the
infirmary yesterday from the Pa
cific hospital where he has been
recovering from an appendix oper
ation. Other students confined to
the infirmary are Pat Gallagher,
Jill Madsen, and Frances George.
Interpretation of Japanese
j A rtist \s Name Proven Worthy
“A good field where rice grows,”
"a stone,” and "a temple” are the
words which make up the name of
Yoshida Sekido, famous Japanese
artist, who is coming to this cam
pus Friday to exhibit his paintings.
"Surely the artist has lived up to
all these interpretations,” said El
eanor Colby in the Christian Sci
ence Monitor. "Not rice for the
body, but beauty for heart and
mind has been produced in the
‘good field’ of his fertile intelli
gence, which has proved itself a
temple and shrine of art, and his
perseverance in coping with obsta
cles was almost rock-like in its
firmness.”
Sekido was born in Tokyo of
! wealthy parents. He began paint
ing at the age of 15 but his father
had other pians for his son’s fu
I ture. Because of a misunderstand
ing with his father regarding his
artistic desires, he left home and
the parental indignation did not
subside until the time when he

Rotten Politics—
And Women
(Editorial)
What seems lo be the cheap
est bit of political trafficking;
in some years is rumored as
part of the present A. S. U. O.
pre-election campaign.
It is an arrangement by
which votes for the Junior
Weekend queen will be traded
for votes for A.S.U.O. office
candidates.
It works this way. A soror
ity will agree to withdraw its
candidate for Junior Weekend
queen, casting its votes for the
candidate of a second house'.
In exchange, the members of
the second house agrees to
vote for the A.S.U.O. candidate
of the first.
Just how such vote-swap
ping can be justified is curi
ous. The eagerness of any
house for either a student body
office or a Junior Weekend
queen which would permit
them so far to forget their
dignity and fair play, is a sad
commentary upon the cultural
and intellectual stature of the
house. And any candidate who
would knowingly permit his
supporters to stoop to such
tactics can command nothing
but dispraise.
Not so many years ago, ev
ery sorority on this campus
agreed that henceforth It
would not permit tis members
to pledge their support us a
unit to any candidate or any
ticket. Apparently women’s
houses are forgetful.
Mothers Invited
By Committee to
Visit on Campus
Junior Weekend Festivities Open
To Parents; Canoe Fete
Has History Theme
Students will be urged by the
speakers’ committee to send spe
cial letters and invitations to moth
ers for the coming Mother’s day
and Junior Weekend festivities,
according to plansf formulated yes
terday by Bill Meissner, assistant
chairman of Junior Weekend, and
his committee.
A special invitation in pamphlet
form outlines the plans and pro
gram for Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, May 11, 12, and 13.
All student affairs for Junior
Weekend will be open to mothers,
and they are especially invited to
attend by Tom Tongue, president
of the associated students. The
canoe fete this year is to be built
around the pioneer idea. Ceremon
ies to honor the "Pioneer Mother,"
for whom a stutue was erected by

Music Organization
Will Meet on Campus
Music convention of state-wide
interest will be held at the school
of music during May, according to
an announcement by Dean John J.
Landsbury yesterday.
A one-day province conclave of
Phi Mu Alpha, men's music honor
ary, will take place May 19. Chap
ters in the province are those of
Washington, Washington State col
lege, and Oregon.
Immediately following this ses
sion, the Oregon State Music
Teachers’ association will hold a
three-day convention, May 20 to
22, inclusive. Many outside fig
ures in the realm of music are ex
pected to attend the convention.
Tongue Seeks
Clean Vote for
Junior Queen
Election, Slated Today,
Postponed
MAY 2 IS NEW DATE
Change Effected to Avoid Conflict
With Balloting for Student
Body Positions
Following complaints to the Em
erald that certain candidates for
Junior Weekend queen had been
caused to withdraw their candidacy
in the interest of parties running
for office in the A.S.U.O., Thomas
Tongue, student body president,
yesterday made an appeal for clean
campaigning and voting for candi
dates on their merits.
It had been brought to the at
tention of the Emerald that certain
houses had withdrawn their queen
candidates, in exchange for the
votes of other sororities in the A.
S. U. O. elections.
Statement Issued
Tongue yesterday issued the fol
lowing statement:
“In mixing student body politics
with the selection of the Junior
Weekend queen, political parties
are resorting to ward political tac
tics.
“In the frenzy of vote-trading,
ballyhoo and campaign stunts, stu
dents are forgetting the basis on
which student elections should be
held—that of learning who the best,
man is, and voting for him.”
Two Reenter Race
Meanwhile, it was learned that
at least two of the candidates whq
had withdrawn from the queen
contest planned to reenter. The
Junior Weekend election had been
slated for today but withdrawals
of the candidates threw the plans
into confusion.
Bill Davis, weekend chairman,
announced that the election of the
queen would be postponed until
Wednesday, May 2, in order that
A.S.U.O. and weekend elections
might be separated.
Ballot boxes will be placed be
tween Commerce and Oregon build
ings, Davis said. It will be neces
sary for those voting to bring stu
dent body tickets.
