Dr. Warrington Leads
Religious Discussion
The question as to whether so

more important was considered at
a meeting of student religious
leaders, held last night at West
minster house. Dr. E. W. War
rington, professor of religion at
the University and State college,

Anti-lVlilitary Ball
•Sponsors Discuss
Plans for May 18
Cosmopolitan Club Joins Roster
Of Supporting- Groups;
Tickets on Sale
Plans for Oregon’s “anti-mili
tary" ball, to be held Friday, May
i IS, in Gerlinger hall, were given
new impetus last night when over
30 representatives of the various
supporting groups met at 7:30 in
the Y.M.C.A. building. A strong
student peace sentiment was evi
denced by the discussion.
A tenth organization was added
to the list of supporters, with the
announcement that the executive
council of the Cosmopolitan club
had voted to endorse the anti-war
dance. Groups which already had
signified their willingness to spon
sor the ball include: Westminster
house, Wesley club; Orides, Uni
versity independent women’s or
ganization; student forum of the
Congregational church, student
council of the Episcopal church,
Oregon Radical club, student coun
cil of the Unitarian church, cam
pus YMCA, and the Eugene chap
ter of the National Council for
Prevention of War.
Verne Adams, ticket sale chair
man, said last night that he would
announce official ticket salesmen
d;or the sponsoring organizations
within a day or two. Tickets were
distributed unofficially last night.
The dance will be semi-formal and
tickets will be 50 cents a couple.
R.O.T.C. Parades May
Be Ended Due to Rain
R. O. T. C. officers stated yester
day that there would probably be
no more parades this term, al
though they would not commit
themselves definitely. When yes
terday’s parade, which was to
have been reviewed by visiting of
ficials, was rained out, it made the
second time in a row that military
review had been called off on ac
count of rain. Further announce
ments will be made later .they said.
Progress A head for School
Of Business Administration
The school of business adminis-]
tration at the University of Ore
gon is in a position to take the
„ certain lines of academic work.
The greatest move for advance
ment came when the Miner build
ing and property was turned over
to the school. From an anticipat
ed income of around $1200 annu
ally, it is planned to devolop one
of the strongest departments in
the country in the fields of insur
ance and real estate .according to
H. V. Hoyt, dean of the school.
Considerable interest is already
being shown from all parts of the
country in this development. Some
of the larger insurance companies
have manifested a desire to coop
erate with the business school so
that it will be able to render a
maximum service. Extensive re
search work will be made possible
as well as resident instruction in
these two important fields.
Close harmony of this sort is at
^ present being carried on in the
foreign trades classes through the
foreign trades advisory board. Un
der these conditions it is possible
for a student to obtain a more
practical aspect of the business
rather than a theoretical one, be
sides enabling him to meet and
become acquainted with the lead
ers in the various trades.
One item for which the school is
little known but for which it merits
much credit is the large number of
students who pass the examina
tions for certified public account
ants. Each year it has had more
students who have passed the ex
aminations than any other school
on the Pacific coast, often more
than all the rest of the coast
schools put together.
Last year three of the students
who passed the C.P'.A. tests were
undergraduates. The school has
three professors, Lyle C. Kelly, O.
K. Burrell, and A. T. Sether who
have also passed these tests. A
great deal of the responsibility for
this record goes to the type of
problems which have been built
up in this line.

Tongue Calls Executive Council
Meeting Today at 5 o'clock
To Get Student Angle
The committee on the adminis
tration of student fees, which was
appointed by Chancellor Kerr, met
last night in Corvallis. They drew
up two plans which they will sub
mit to the chancellor. The chan
cellor is expected to discuss the
plans with Attorney-General I. H.
VaHiWinkle in order to clear up
any legal difficulties which they
may contain.
Following this they will be laid
before the state board of higher
education for consideration.
The natures of the plans were
not revealed last night by Tom
Tongue, president of the A. S. U.
O., who phoned the news of the
meeting to the Emerald from Cor
vallis. The plans, he said ,were
necessarily so detailed that it
would do little good to attempt to
present them in short compass.
Tongue did not take a definite
stand on one or the other plan as
he did not feel prepared to reflect
the opinion of the student body as
a whole. In order to get a student
angle on the matter, Tongue has
called a student executive council
meeting for this afternoon at 5.
The committee included C. V.

Klamath’s Mayor
Outlines Platform
Proposing to take the lead in
exposing the operations of the
power trust in this state, and in
securing the Bonneville dam power
for the people, Willis Mahoney,
mayor of Klamath Falls and can
didate for governor, outlined a
very definite platform before an
audience of about 150 people at
the Lane county court house last
night.
He pointed out a great number
of examples in which he claimed
that the large power companies
in this state and elsewhere had
been engaging in a legalized rob
bing of the public by means of
padded valuations, watered stock,
and holding company fees.
Other points in his platform in
cluded putting a tax on industry
to form a state unemployment in
surance fund; redistribution of
wealth, by means of capital stock
and cash surplus taxes and the
basing of the tax levy for utilities
on the rate base valuation only;
liberalization and enforcement of
state old age pension law; state
public works program; repeal of
the Knox law and the return of
home rule in liquor control; a
sharp increase in income taxes in
the higher brackets; relief for
small truck operators.
Mahoney declared himself
against domination of the state
government by chambeis of com
merce and private interests.

Silly Lines9 Crazy Setting—
What Have You? Chief Thing
By S. STEPHENSON SMITH
Horace Robinson and his cast
gave a fine broad comic interpre
tation of Evreinoff's “The Chief
Thing," last night at the Guild
hall theatre. They added many
American trimmings, especially on
the jokes, running off this fantas
tic medley of farce, burlesque, arigl
high comedy at a crisp pace, with
a lot of steam and conviction. The
variety of effects and styles made
the play much like a high grade
vaudeville.
Picture to yourself a fortune
teller's attic, with dim mysterious
light, skull on the table; then a
rowdy back-stage burlesque on a
Cecil de Mille attempt at "Nero,''
with a lot of massive Roman la
dies and rather less massive lads
in togas half off; and finally an
ironically conceived Russian boards
ing house, complete with red
velour hangings, a sideboard full
of whatnots, and around the table
a job-lot collection of odd human
beings. These sets, the last two
conceived with fine scenic wit,
amused the audience almost as
much as the acting.
How, you ask, were such diverse
scenes tied together? By the cen
tral idea of the play, which was
also the source of the rambling
plot. A fantastic idealist, who is
at once a great actor and a pro
ducer, has made a fortune in dis
guise as a fortune-teller. He con
ceives the notion of hiring som$
actors to play, not in the theatre^
but on the stage of the world, as
dispensers of happiness to the
frustrated, the poor, and the un
happy.
We see him first in his attic, as
the wizard who prophesies the fu
ture for his patrons. But he feels
the need of making his predictions
come true. So he throws off his
disguise, when the local theatre
manager calls, and goes with him
to the theatre to secure actors
who will execute his plan.
There is a fine entr-acte, played
by two stage carpenters, an elec
trician, and an arty stage direc
tor, then follows the broad bur
lesque of the evening: a rehearsal
for “Quo Vadis," interrupted by '
the idealist who hires three of the
cast to help him on his mission of
cheering up the world. After this
exposition, we have the last two
acts in the boarding-house, good
broad realistic comedy with a
laugh in every other line.
The acting was at a high level
throughout, except where a low
level was required by the rough
and tumble or the broad jokes,
and here the cast sank to the oc
casion. (Even Hitchcock laughed
like a booming bittern all through
the dress rehearsal; I saw Mikulak
rocking the house to the west.)
Ted Karafotjas, playing the
lead, gave a most versatile per
formance, full of color and in
tensity. He pulled his strokes
with precision and elegance,
whether as the old woman fortune
teller, as the great director, as
Mr. Schmidt, the phonograph
salesman, in the boarding-house,
or as the monk in masquerade.
Such a Protean role called for
many quick shifts, not only of
mood, but of voice and manner
isms; and Karafotias made them
with ease, sustaining the illusion
in each part.
He dominated the scene only
where the script asked for it, how
ever. For the play calls for many
items of "character” acting. And
Mr. Robinson had the right casl
on hand. Gertrude Winslow, as
the dancer, and later the board
ing-house slavey, was’ sincere and
comical by turns; her pantomim
ing of jealousy was masterly, when
her actor husband (played capi
tally by Neville Biden) was mak
ing dutiful love to the landlady’s
daughter.
Barbara Reed played this role

Quandary Arises
When Mouse and
Snake Disappear
Reported missing! Black and
yellow snake. Last seen in a cage
with a mouse. Could the mouse
have devoured the serpent? That's
worse than imagining that a snake
would rise from the platter and
eat the dinner guest. You see, the
regular diet of a snake in the re
search laboratory is mice.
Whoever said it was news when
a man bites a dog coulU not have
heard the sad tale of the snake
and the mouse.
It cannot be withheld any
longer. The snake returned to its
cage and is now fairly licking his
chops . . . for now the poor mouse
is gone!
The snake and the mouse lived
together for two days on the best
of terms, which was practically an
unheard of occurrence. Then each
disappeared for a while, the mouse
never to return.

Anxious Minutes
Baby Jean Harlow, the dainty
silver mouse in captivity in the
research laboratory is soon to be
the mother of some tinier Jean
Harlows. The very moments until
the blessed events will arrive are
being counted.
But the main feature and the
cause for all the anxiety is that
the proud father is an Albino, the
only known species of its kind. It
is the hope of the fixers of this
touching romance that, some of the
wee Jean Harlows will be Albino,
too.
At first glance you would think
Baby Jean Harlow were a soft
brown color, but if you blow her
fur, thereby rufflingit a little, you
can see that she is really silver un
derneath.
The renowned Albino father was
captured near Mammies Cabin last
term. Traps had been set to catch
mice for experimental purposes,
but such a treasure as an Albino
was never thought of.

At 2; Single, 3:30
WEATHER TO DECIDE
Vandals Have Strongest Team in
Years; Lose Three of Thirteen
Preoonference Tilts
With yesterday’s scheduled base
ball contest rained out, the Oregon
Webfoot and Idaho Vandal nines
will attempt a"doubleheader today
starting at 2, if the weather clears
up this morning. If it is impos
sible to run off the two games,
perhaps one contest will be held,
which will start at 3:30.
In event that all plans are up
set, the Idaho team will move on
to Corvallis for their scheduled
games there Friday and Saturday
with the Beavers. In this case
some arrangement will be made to
play the scheduled Duck-Vandal
tilts when the Oregon team makes
its jaunt north later in the season.
Opponents Strong
The Idaho squad boasts one of
the strongest lineups in years,
with a record of only three games
lost in a preconference slate of 13
games, although they dropped
their conference opener to Wash
ington State in a short inning
contest.
Should a doubleheader be played
today, both Coaches Bill Reinhart
and Rich Fox will get a chance to
see some of their untried hurlers
in action under fire. Don McFad
dpn TUp TbPn'TV snd Rrrn Opmrripll
rate as Oregon’s number one men,
with Ossie Edwards and Earl
Bucknum ready for service. Neil
Spears, two-year Vandal letterman
and an Ashland, Oregon, boy, is
the ace of the northern team’s
staff, but several more chuckers
have shown plenty of promise.
Vandals Familiar
Two brothers, Cy and Wally
Geraghty, will be familiar faces
on the opposing nine. Both men
played on the Idaho hoop squad
that appeared here last winter.
The rest of the Oregon lineup is
slated to be the same as has
opened the other conference tilts
this year. Con Fury and Mickey
Vail will share the catching bur
den, with the latter picked to start
the first game.
Harry McCall, Ray Koch, Joe
Gordon, and Mark DeLaunay will
open in the infield. Although in
the last practice session Reinhart
shifted some of the regular out
field men, Wes Clausen, Maury
Van Vliet, and Mike Hunt are fa
vored to get the starting call over
Bud Van Dine, Marvin Stroble,
Bob Thuneman, and Bunny Butier.
New Assignments
Made to Students
Members of the faculty who
were assigned student help for the
completion of Federal Emergency
Relief Administration projects dur
ing the month of April should not
anticipate the reappointment of
the same individuals for the month
of May, announced Earl M. Pal
lett, chairman of the student em
ployment committee, yesterday.
“In the majority of cases the
same individuals were reap
pointed,” stated Paliett, “but in
certain cases it was found ne9es
sary to remove the students from
assignments and appoint others
because the committee felt it was
very unfair to assign work to the
same individuals for the entire pe
riod.”
Notices regarding the 196 stu
dents who are to work during May
will be in the mail during the next
few days, said Paliett, and faculty
members should wait until they
receive this list of appointees for
employment before they proceed
with projects.

Eva, Parcel to Face $4100
! Suit in Mock Trial Tonight
A $4100 damage suit against
Don Eva and Howard Parcel .both
third year law students at the
University, for causing injury to
Ralph Brown, another third year
law student, when on April third
tahey tossed water-filled paper bags
from an upstairs window in the
Oregon building, will begin tonight
at 7:30 p. m. in the circuit court
room of the Eugene courthouse—
but it's all in fun, or perhaps work
of the law school.
The damage suit is to be the sec
ond of a series of mock trials be
ing staged by Professor Orlando
J. Hollis’ senior class in trial prac
tice.
The facts of the case ,as brought
out by the papers filed by the
plaintiff and defendant, are:
On April 19, at about 4 o’clock
in the afternoon, Mr. Eva and Mr.
Parcel were in the main library
of the law school—but they were
not studying. They were concealed
near the large windows just above
the eapt entrance to the Oregon
building, and each had a heavy
brown paper bag filled with water.
In fact they were waiting for Mr.
Bennett Swanton to come up the
steps so they could throw water
bags on his head. Mr. Swanton
had treated Mr. Eva and Mr. Par
cel in a similar manner a few days
previously.
Mr. Swanton was, at the time,
standing out on the curb smoking.
Mr. Brown came along and said
to Mr. Swanton and other law stu
dents standing on the curb, “Let’s
go do a little studying for a
change,” and continued on his way
toward the east entrance to the
Oregon building. Mr. Swanton
threw his cigarette away and fol
lowed Mr. Brown at a distance of
approximately eight feet. After
Brown was half-way up the stepa
at the east entrance of the build
ing, Mr. Eva and Mr. Parcel looked
out and saw Mr. Swanton just
starting up the steps. Both Mr.
Eva and Mr. Parcel immediately
threw their water bags down at
Mr. Swanton’s head.
They did not see Mr. Brown
coming up the steps. Someone on
