Unnecessary 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.

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.

Judges for the contest are Mrs. (Continued on Page Four) 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.

(Continued on Pacjc Two) 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 Eileen Loud.

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 (Continued on Pa ye Four) Tongue Appoints Schloth to Head A.S.U.O. Election Rules ad Policies for Balloting Are Cited; Committee Passes On ('lass Identities Bill Schloth, sophomore in law, was appointed chairman of elec tions yesterday by Tom Tongue, student body president.

Luncheon meeting of Alpha Delta Sigma at College Side at noon sharp today. All members must be present. 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 (Continued on Page Pour) 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.

Jukes Turns Out Foul Puns As Replies to Questionnaire The J. Jorgensen Jukes platform came out in the open last night with the answering, by J.
