Student Jury Forgets Role
In Introductory Moot Trial
It was really quite business-like
at the moot court trial, held
Thursday night by law students in
Prof. Orlando J. Hollis’ trial prac
tice class.
The temporarily ordained law
firms of Coad & Noel, attorneys
for the plaintiff, and Dashney &
Huston, attorneys for the defen
dant, orated and examined and
cross-examined quite as formally
as would the real attorneys which
(from all appearances) they ex
pect to become some day. The wit
nesses behaved as witnesses do.
And the audience listened and act
ed as audiences do.
In fact, there was only one flaw
in the seriousness of the whole
trial. The jury did not understand
its part! For, when the jury,
which was composed mostly of
pre-legal students, was sent out to
consider the evidence for, the two
sides, it returned with a verdict
of "not guilty.” Now it seems,
that in a civil case, the verdict isn’t
guilty or not guilty—it is for the
plantiff or for the defendant. So
out the jury was sent again—and
(for some unknown reason) re
mained out 15 minutes before re
turning with the correctly stated
verdict of “for the defendant.”
The winners of the case, James
Landye and Charles Stocklen,
must have done some pretty fast
thinking. They were being sued by
Charles C. Barkley for fraud. It
seems they had told him that he
could fish in the Willamette river
before the season and without a
license, since it was a tide-water
stream; and when he went fishing
south of Eugene, he was arrested
and fined. Things looked pretty
black for the two, since they had
been heard to make quite damag
ing statements such as, "We put
the red-haired Californian on a hot
trail,” and “Hell will be popping in
some J.P. court before long.” And
it all looked, at least outwardly,
like a good case for Barkley.
And then caipe the trial. The
lawyers were examining the de
fense witnesses. It was up to Lan
dye and Stocklen to explain their
; statements.
Put the red-haired Californian
| on a hot trail ? Why, yes, ex
plained the witness, of course—the
! trail of the fish. And the other

Novel Idea to Be
Used for Setting
Of Coming Show
Shadows to Be Painted on Walls
Of University Stage for
‘The Chief Thing ’
Painted shadows on the walls
will be seen for the first time on
the stage in Eugene when the
University, players present “The
Chief Thipg” on May 2, 4, and 5,
under the directio'p of Horace W.
Robinsoh, ins'tjructpr in dramatics.
Painted shadows were used in the
recent motion picture, “Nana.”
In the first scene, which takes
place in a fortune teller’s attic, a
setting in a black and white motif
is used.
As the play goes on, a rehearsal
of the burlesque show “Quo Vadis”
is shown. This is presumably be
ing given in a local Russian thea
ter and the usual backstage mis
takes are made by the characters
who are draped in appropriate Ro
man costume.
Robinson’s theater workshop
class has been busy the last few
weeks making “flats” for the sec
ond and third acts, as entirely new
scenery is to be used. In addition
to the new scenery, new lighting
equipment has just been received
which will be used for the first
time in “The Chief Thing.”
Assisting with the presentation
of the play are the following:
stage technician, Horace W. Robin
son: stage crew, William Schloth,
Boyd Jackson, and Bill Paddock;
electrician, Richard Koken; prop
erty crew, Betty Day, Barbara
Betts; costumes, Mrs. H. W. Rob
inson; business manager, Robert
Dodge; assistant business man
agers, Ellen Burns; publicity, Al
thea Peterson, Dorothy Dykeman.

"A compliment for Don Caswell,
senior in journalism and campaign
manager for J. Jorgensen Jukes,
Con-Fusionist candidate for A.S.
U.O. president, was received at the

does it?” is the note written by
Kelty on the Jukes’ blurb for the
Thursday Emerald, and sent to
Sterling Green by Willis Duniway,
Emerald editor for 1931-32, now a
reporter on the Oregonian.
With the note is a letter written
by Duniway, who says: “Mr. Kelty
put this on my desk yesterday.
I’m passing it on to you for an
answer to his question. I’ve been
reading the Jukes stuff every day
but don’t know who to hang it on
unless Barney Clark.
"PK’s note should be worthy of
Emerald bulletin board notice. His
signature means a lot. And com
pliments are often hard to get.”

Leap week will be the Mortar
Board ball, sponsored by Mortar

make the date, but pay the bill,
do the escorting honors usually
performed by the male, and even
send flowers—a gardenia for the
shiny lapel of the tux.
Coeds who have not yet pur
chased tickets may do so at the
Co-op or at the door Saturday
night. The price of the tickets is
$1, which admits one and one es
cort.
The main feature of the ball will
be the pledging to Kwama, sopho
more service honorary, of the 19
outstanding freshman women. The
coeds who were selected were cho
sen on the basis of service to the
University, demonstrated ability
as leaders, character and personal
ity and scholastic rating. The
pledging will take place during the
intermission after the girls have
been “tapped” during a certain
dance and invited to membership
by one of this year's Kwama mem
bers. Dean of Women Ilazcl Pruts
man Schwering will pin the pledge
ribbons on the coeds. Skull and

Seniors Must Order
Commencement J\eeds
By Moon, Is Warning
A last warning that noon to
day will be the deadline for or
dering caps and gowns and
commencement announcements,
was voiced jointly last night by
Harry Hanson, chairman of the
senior commencement commit
tee, and M. F. McClain, man
ager of the Co-op. A check
made yesterday showed that
there were still a large number
of seniors who have not yet
placed their orders.
Because the order for the
caps and gowns and announce
ments must be sent back east
for filling, it will be impossible
to extend the ordering date be
yond today's deadline, McClain
said.

Renner Outlines
Next Year’s Work
For the Emerald
Revision of A.S.U.O. Constitution;
Student Body Elections
On Program
A statement of his proposed
policies for next year was issued
to the Emerald last night by Joe
'"Renner, first-year law student,
who was returned president of the
student body in the A.S.U.O. elec
tions last Thursday.
“I am pleased at this opportu
nity to express my appreciation to
the associated students for their
support at the polls and wish to
assure them that I will make
every effort to carry out the poli
cies that I have previously pro
posed as my platform,” stated
Renner, who will work with a
group of officers evenly divided
between his ticket and that of
Malcolm Bauer, opposition leader.
“Briefly, I hope to carry on the
revision of the A.S.U.O. constitu
tion by incorporating the six re
cently accepted amendments into
a new document," said the presi
dent-elect.
“I also intend to revise the
present plan of class and student
body elections falling on the same
day. I believe the evils of the
present system are sufficiently
evident to need no explanation.
“I feel that with the full co
operation of the newly elected of
ficers and the entire student body
we will enjoy a most successful
year.”
During 1934-35, Renner will help
to guide the destinies of the stu
dent body with Bill Berg, vice
president; Nancy Archbold, secre
tary; Bob Miller, executive man;
Elizabeth Benastrup, senior wo
man; and Cosgrove LaBarre, jun
ior man.

ASUO Members Vote
There were 75 students who
voted Thursday in the student
body and class elections, who had
student body cards, but whose
names were not on the official
poll list, Tom Tongue, president of
the student body, announced yes
terday afternoon.
These names were checked on at
the cashier’s office, and all but 3
were found to have ' paid their
fees. The reason for this situation
was that the students had received
their student body cards after the
lists had been made.

McFadden Hurls
With Harry McCall amusing the
crowd with his expert fielding and
Don McFadden limiting the Stat
ers to five hits, Ray Koch led the
Ducks' batting attack as he drove
out a homer, double and single in
four trips to the plate. The four
base clout came in the eighth, with
two men on the paths and definite
ly clinched the game for the Web
foots.
The only Beaver run came in
the second inning, when Dan Mito
la, husky right fielder, leaned on
the second ball pitched for a cir
cuit drive over the left field fence.
They did not threaten at any other
time during the game except in the
ninth when Bergstrom beat out a
hit to short and Mitola walked.
But, with two men on, Creider filed
out to Hunt and McFadden forced
Valberg, a pinchhitter, to hit an
easy grounder to him for the final
out.
Koch Doubles
The Ducks confined their scor
ing to two innings. In the third,
with two men out, Maury Van

Japanese Artist Uses Two
Brushes for Painting Work
By HENRIETTA MUMMEY
Deep silence broken only by
"oh’s” and "ah’s" held sway yes
terday afternoon in the little art
gallery, where art students and
others interested in art watch a
small, quiet man give a demonstra
tion of his unique method of paint
ing. This man upon whom so many
eyes were focused was that dis
tinguished Japanese artist, Yoshi
da Sekido.
While painting, Sekido sat upon
the floor with his legs crossed.
Around him were grouped several
small clay dishes used for mixing
hi3 paints, various kinds of brush
es and other painting instruments,
and boxes which held his painting
materials. In front of him, lying
flat upon the floor, was the silk,
mounted on cardboard, upon which
the picture was painted.
The artist first sized the silk
and then began painting in the
darker background for the picture.
When this was finished, he sat
back studying his work and wait
ing for the paint to dry before
the next stroke was added. As he
added to the picture with sure,
deft strokes one could see it begin
to develop, until finally it was
finished. It turned out to be a
study of two small birds perched
upon a blossoming branch which
projected from a bank. When
questioned as to what sort of blos
soms they were, the artist replied
that they might be either peach
or plum. While painting the blos
soms, he held two brushes in one
hand and used each alternately to
paint in the yellow and green of
the inside of the blossom. After
the demonstration Sekdio was
asked if he could paint with more
vhan two brushes at a time; he re
plied with a smile that just two
vere better.
A few minutes after his demon
stration was over, the artist again
sat upon the floor and began paint
ing upon a small piece of Japanese
paper. This resulted in an exquis
ite little flower which he called a
blue flower and then to the re
porter’s great surprise and happi
ness he presented it to her with
a smile.
In viewing his pictures which
are hung in the gallery one is im
pressed by their utter simplicity
