VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1934 NUMBER 110 Council Given Reorganizing Plans at Meet Revision of Association Committee Proposal TWO VIEWS OFFERED Department for Administration of Extracurricular Activities Proposed by Group Two plans for the reorganiza tion of the associated students’ or ganizations at Oregon State col lege and the University, proposed by the committee on extracurricu lar activities recently appointed by Chancellor Kerr, which met in Corvallis Tuesday, were presented to the executive council for ap proval at its meeting yesterday. Both of the proposed plans pro vide that a department for the administration of extracurricular activities be created by the state board of higher education. A full time administrator is pro vided by one (plan I), and a com mittee of three faculty members by the other (plan II), to have supervision over the associated students organization and to ex pend fee money, which would be budgeted to the department of extra-curricular activities by the state board. Legal Aspect Factor The second plan had been sub mitted previously to' the executive council and approved. The first plan was presented and approved yesterday. The chancellor has the authority to approve one of the plans sub mitted and to communicate with Auorney-Generai I. H. Van win kle in order to prevent legal diffi culties from arising, after wjhich the state board will act upon the plan approved by Dr. Kerr. The report of the athletic com mittee in which Ed Vail was ap pointed varsity yell king and George Schenk, alternate, was ap proved. The council approved the reissue of three student body cards, which were reported lost, not received on registration day or stolen. The graduate manager was authorized to reissue one other card when he becomes satisfied as to the condi tions under which it was lost. Refunds of the student fee, re quested by 12 students, was de layed, according to the minutes of the finance committee, pending a decision by the judiciary commit tee on two questions: “Does the executive council ha\je power to refund fees?’’ and “Does the ex ecutive council have power to re fuse fees?” Complete Plans Listed The following are the two plans presented to the council for revi sion of the associated students or ganization in full: Plan I 1. That a department for the administration of extracurricular activities be created by the board of higher education. 2. That the department of ex tracurricular activities function in a manner similar to that of any other department in the colleges (Continued oil Page Two) — * — Guild Players in Action Above are shown a number of the Guild hall players as they appear in “The Chief Thing," Russian comedy which is to be given at the Guild theater tonight and Saturday night.

President Boyer Addresses Club On Liberal Arts Ideals of Education to Individual, Society Outlined to Group; Motives Named C. V. Boyer, president of the University of Oregon, spoke be fore the Active club luncheon Thursday noon at the Eugene ho tel, discussing the work of liberal art colleges in education, and re vealing the need for increasing the scale of work done by the Oregon college of liberal arts. Outlining briefly the ideals of education, to the individual and society, he named motives for edu cation as comfort, health, ambi tion, efficiency, beauty, religion, play, and love of country, com munity, and home. “To enrich the community, we must be rich within ourselves,” stated Dr. Boyer, who also pointed out the use of service clubs to the community, which, he asserted, were founded upon the citizen’s in terest in the community, and de sire to see it progress. “Service clubs and teachers have much in common in their functions, for they give and seek for the best things to do,” further declared the speaker. He set up as the ultimate pur pose of education “cultivating the intellect to its highest power to socialize it, and also to develop the individual for the ^interest of his own good and that of the com munity.” Dr. Boyer averred that educa tors at the University have been hindered by economic handicaps. With no reserve left to carry on next year’s program unless the legislature takes action, the effi ■ ciency of Oregon schools of higher learning will be considerably lower, he pointed out. He closed his plea saying, “There is need for support throughout the state to have greater allowances for the institutions.” By HENRIETTE HORAK Vive le roi! Back to Monarchy! Down with Tongueism! Long live the king! The campus populace has definitely expressed its desires for a royal ruler by yesterday’s overwhelming, sweeping, magnifi cent victory at the polls of Camp bell Larsson as queen of the May, but since Queen Larsson has abdi cated in favor of Queen Josephine, giving as his royal reason physical handicaps, namely a wooden leg, and a red toupee, it is suggested by campus politicians that Lars son be made royal consort of Jo sephine, namely, his majesty Campbell I and jointly rule with the fair queen. Wooden legs and red toupees are permissible for kings, point out the plotters, since some famous crowned heads of the gilded past have been known to be •'block and figure heads.” Midnight peerings into the ar chives of the monarchists, deep in their secret dens, located 30 de grees east of the north-east-south west prime meridian, in close prox imity of the College Side, have dis closed revolutionary plans to set up a campus monarchy! Aye, the scrolls of typewritten parchment had written upon them in letters of red ink, in trembling hand, and ac cording to the Palmer method, the names of the proposed new aris tocracy, members of the royal court of King Campbell and Queen Josephine. Immediately after the names of the royal pair were engraved on the adding machine, and stenciled on delicate parchment the follow ing names and titles. Tom Tongue, Earl of Prexydom; Helen Burns, Marie Antoinette; Neal Bush, to whom were accorded two titles, Duke of Kakayak and Little Lord Fauntleroy; Otto Vonderheit, Sir Otto; Glen Hieber, Marquis de Fontanbleau; Jack Cate, the Duke; Ralph Walstrom, the Lord; Nancy Suomela, the Duchess of Clapper shire. Ladies in waiting, Cynthia Liljeqvist, Marytine New, Mar garet Ann- Howland, Miriam Hen derson. Jean Failing, madame X; Ralph Schomp, court jester; J. Jorgensen Jukes, prime minister; George Birnie, Sir Nuttiguy. Considered for optional member ship were the names of Joseph (Continued on Page Tzoo) Deep, Dark Monarchy Plans Threaten rTongueism9 Rule rThe Chief Thing? Fantastic Farce Will Play Tonigh t “Silly lines, trazy setting,” is the way S. Stephenson Smith characterized "The Chief Thing.” It’s fantastic, farcical burlesque. And it’s going to be shown again tonight and Saturday night under the direction of Horace W. Robin son. They’ll all be there—Paraclete, the quick change artist ,played by Ted Karafotias; the dancer, Ger trude Winslow, who knows how to be the flirting servant girl—and her husband, Neville Biden, who plays the lover. Then comes the Roman banquet scene with the scarlet empress, Poppea, Cynthia Liljeqvist; the blonde cadaverous Nero .Henry Roberts; and the shrew Crispinilla, Helen Harriman. Not to forget that artiest of the artistic direc tors, Milton Pillette. It's high Russian comedy—with the scene shifting from a fortune teller’s attic, to the back stage of a provincial theater (and you should see the pictures on the wall!), and finally ending up in a Russian boarding house. Males to Publish Paper Saturday Male Emerald workers will take over the paper today while the women take a much needed rest. The annual men’s edition will ap pear Saturday morning. A new typographical make-up will mark the men’s edition this year, with all large type in sans serif.

The staff that will put out to morrow's paper will be headed by Don Caswell, with Don Olds as managing editor. Howard Kessler will have charge of making up the reporting coverage, Clair Johnson will be sports editor, and J. A. Newton night editor.

Junior Gleemen To Be Formed by Chorus Director! John Stark Evans Will Organize Boys Between Ages of 16, 20 Years Organization of a Junior Glee men chorus in Eugene will begin' within the next few days, John Stark Evans, director of the estab lished Gleemen chorus, announced today. The Junior Gleemen will be for boys between the ages of 16 and 20 years. A meeting, to which all boys in- ' terested in such a chorus will -be \ invited, will be called soon, Evans I said.

The Junior Gleemen would take only those boys whose voices are cap able of carrying the work. Such a chorus will give many boys an opportunity to enjoy their interests in good music; likewise, such an organization will provide a worthwhile interest at an age when it will be most beneficial, the sponsors point out. Evans and other Gleemen plan to contact prospective members during the next few days in plans to interest all boys of known abil ity.

Pioneer History Will Be Featured fn Canoe Pageant i George Schenk to Be Chairman, Cynthia Liljeqvist Publicity Manger of Fete “In past history, pioneers strug gled and changed the wilderness of Oregon into a fantastic won derland, beautiful beyond com pare. This development up to present times will bloom before the eyes of students and their parents on May 12 at the presen tation of the annual Canoe Fete. ‘Where Rolls the Oregon,’ ” George Schenk, chairman of the fete, ex plained last night. The chairman and his commit tee promised that the pageant this year will be unique in that it por trays a unity of floats each suc ceeding yet dependent on the one preceding it. In the past years the motif of the fete has been widely encom passing and the floats were start ling in their variety. In the canoe fete of 1934, however, according to Schenk, each pair of organiza tions must portray in its float some picture, character, or event from some familiar episode of Ore gon’s history. Rules and regulations were given competing groups in order that they may have ample time to pre • pare their floats. The unity of the pageant will be further carried out in the setting, with glamorous lighting effects, and historic scenes. The queen’s arrival, and the preliminary vaude ville numbers will also be integral parts of the general scheme. Another announcement made last night by Bill Davis, chairman of the entire weekend, was the appointment of Cynthia Liljeqvist. to the position of publicity man ager.

Ducks Win 6-2 After Dropping Opener by 6-4 Two Errors Horner Aifl First Webfoot Loss DONIN PITCHES WELL Clausen, Koch Star With Four Hits Each; Katsilometes, NcNealy Lead Vandal Players By CLAIR JOHNSON The Oregon baseball nine came back to win the seven inning night cap from the Idaho Vandals yester day 6 to 2, after losing the first contest of the doubleheader by a 6 to 4 score, in an eleven inning bat tle. Although blasting out 12 hits, while Don McFadden limited the visitors to 5, the Ducks suffered their first conference defeat when the Vandals piled up three runs in the sixth, by virtue of two errors and a homer, added another coun ter in the ninth on two hits, and two more in the eleventh on a walk and two safeties. Wes Clausen and Ray Koch led the Webfoot batters in hitting, when each man drove out four safe blows in the two tilts. Katsilo metes and McNealy were respon sible for the Idaho victory and pro vided most of the opposition in the second contest. inree Hits Allowed Ike Donin hurled three hit balls for the Ducks in the short inning victory, while his teammates gave him much better support than they had McFadden in the opening clash. The Webfoot nine opened this contest’s scoring in the initial in ning, when Maury Van Vliet walked, advanced on Clausen’s sac rifice, and scored when Leute muffed Joe Gordon's infield blow. Two more counters were added in the third, when Donin and Koch walked, and crossed the plate on Gordon’s single. The other Duck runs were pushed over when Clausen singled, Gordon got on by fielder’s choice, Hugh McCredie walked, Ivan El liott singled to score Clausen and (Continued on Page Pour) Late Orders for Caps, Gowns of Seniors May Be Arranged at Co-op Seniors who failed to place their orders for caps and gowns and commencement announce ments before the last Saturday deadline may make arrange ments for late orders at the Co-op, it was announced yes terday.

Josephine, to Rule Festival, Is Interviewed by Reporter By CYNTHIA LILJEQVIST The guests of a down-town the atre were witnesses to a happy little drama in addition to the comedy they had paid to see on Wednesday afternoon about 4:15. An usher hurried down the aisles paging a name that would soon connotate to the Oregon campus all the lovely blondness of Joseph ine I, queen of the most completely festive carnival of the school year, Junior Weekend, with its canoe fete, which this year is entitled: “Where ROLLS the Oregon.” As the queen herself put It when she was interviewed high on col lege crest, recreating the excite ment of that moment: "I rushed out of the theatre thinking that cousin somebody had broken his neck or my car had been smashed, when suddenly ‘out on the roof I heard such a clatter,’ I mean, all my sorority sisters were crowded in the lobby and, I fear, frightfully disconcerted those within. “They told me, that is they shouted-—” Queen Josephine hesi tated. “Anyway I'm to be queen of the May, mother!” The lovely Josephine laughed softly as she allowed herself this phrase. “I do want to thank everyone who sup ported me and tell them that I will fulfill my office,—oh no, that's not right, just tell them all that I appreciated it.” The rain pattered lightly on the top of her car and she bent her eyes thoughtfully down into the misty valley below. Slowly she continued: "I love it here, this is where I come when I want to get away, but that isn’t very often,” she added, slightly embarrassed in dis closing her favorite haunts. “I’m not a Garbo-like recluse at all. I enjoy being with people; they don’t fluster me. Perhaps it’s my age, because I’m not impulsive or emotional—just go along in a quiet easy way.” How true this seemed, for the tall blue-eyed queen was resting peacefully in one corner of the seat, seemingly enjoying to talk, and thinking very carefully as she spoke. She not only enjoys the presidency of the Chi Omega house but of Heads of Houses also. She has served on AWS council for two years and was treasurer one year. Occasionally a splash of rain melted off her smooth cheeks and dropped on her buff blue swagger (Continued on Page Three)
