11 Attend Anti War Meet at Reed College Resolution in Favor of Strikers Passed Group of Students Visits Japanese Ship While Others Argue With Police By ELINOR HENRY “All quiet on the waterfront” might report the 11 University students who went to Portland last weekend as delegates from campus groups to attend the first annual conference against war, fascism, unemployment, and re trenchment in education, held at Reed college Saturday. More than 30 students from the University of Washington, Oregon, Reed, and Monmouth normal school took part in the conference, which passed resolutions advocating ac tion on all four problems with which they were particularly in terested. The conference also passed a resolution supporting the striking longshoremen, mainly because of the strong interest of the Seattle delegation in the situation. This resolution had both pleasant and unpleasant effects for the 11 con ference delegates from the Univer sity. It got one group through the picket lines onto the Taihai Maru, Japanese ship forbidden to white sightseers in general. An other group, however, it got into the Portland police station for an hour and a half of questioning. Copies Mimeographed Henry Ireland, as chairman of the conference, was delegated by it to see that the striking long shoremen heard about the resolu tion. Together with a number of others from the conference, Ire land passed safely along the wa terfront Saturday night, reading the resolution aloud to picketers as he approached each group on the docks. Sunday morning it was decided to run copies off on a mimeograph and distribute them to the picketers. It was this last activity of the conference dele gates which attracted the atten tion of the Portland police. Oregon Students Included While the “resolution” commit tee was made up of Seattle and Re^d college students, the group picked up by the police consisted chiefly of Oregon students. Charles Paddock, Alfredo Fajardo, Clay ton Van Lydegraf, and Richard Bolling were with Ireland, as well as Mrs. Boiling ■ and Victor Todd of Reed college. A delegation of longshoremen followed the group to the police station and said that Co-op to Pay Cash for Used Texts; List of 160 Eligible Books Posted The Co-op store is in the mar ket for fcollege text books, an announcement on the Co-op bul letin board revealed yesterday. The announcement lists 160 texts which the Co-op will buy from students at half price fig ures. Death o f Huston’s Dog Will Be Basis For Trial Tonight The death of Karl Huston's sev en-months-old Norwegian elkhound is the basis of tonight’s moot court trial, to be conducted by students in Prof. Orlando J. Hollis’ third year class, in trial practice. Huston is retaining the law firm of Wilson and Wintermeler to sue Virgil Langtry for $1165 damages for the dog, which was run over by Charles Edwards while it was chasing a stick thrown across the street by Langtry. The damages asked are $300 for the value of the dog, and $365 be cause Huston was discharged from the employ of the uncle who had given him the dog. The cause for the remaining $500 damages is, according to the complaint, “The plaintiff has suffered great sor row, heartache, mental anguish, injuries to health—namely, loss of appetite, sleep, and weight, to the damage of the plaintiff in the sum of $500.” Attorneys for the defense are Den Eva and Bill Goodwin. Wit nesses for the defense are C. C. Barkley and Charles Edwards, for the plaintiff, Carl Coad and Wil liam Noel. Bill Whitely will act as bailiff and notary, Carl Davidson as reporter and sheriff, and Joseph ine Rice as clerk. Tonight’s trial will be the sixth to be held this term. The last trial, which will *be Dashney vs. Swan ton, will be held Thursday night. All the trials take place in the cir cuit court room and the public is invited. Professor Hollis acts as judge, and members of the law school and pre-legal students act as jurors. a lawyer was on his way to their assistance. The lawyer, however, was not needed. All Oregon students at the con ference included Charles Paddock, Alice and Eda Hult, Clayton Van Lydegraf, Henry Ireland, Gottfried Hesse, Alfredo Fajardo, Elaine Ellmaker, Elinor Henry, Dick Bol ling, and A1 Parker. Six students from Seattle attended. Babs McCall Chosen as Most Beautiful at Freshmen Picnic “To the most beautiful fresh man coed in the class of ’37, Babs McCall,” announced Dave Lowry, general chairman of the frosh pic nic held at Swimmer’s Delight last, Sunday, as the two judges, Jim Emmett and Chick Burrow, head ed for the wide open spaoes. Em mett and Burrow had spent five hot minutes deciding who was to win the prize between some of the freshman class’s best and found it a tough assignment. “You can't please everybody,” they shouted over their shoulders as they high tailed it over the ridge. Second prize went to Jean Bur dett and third to Doris Osland. The contest was a close one and everybody shouted for their favor ites, but the decision pleased the maoriiy. Two hundred and fifty freshmen attended the picnic and took part in the various activities which in cluded a treasure hunt, the “Pip squeeksie” regatta (rowboat race), food, dancing, swimming, and the beauty contest. “Aw shucks, that ain't nuthin',-’ said Fred West as he splashed his way to victory in the regatta. “Me ’n Edmundson of Washington sorta figured I’d win. I sure ap preciate this here flashlight you give me for a prize though. I can use that.” Hamaker and Latourette, who with their partners each won a prize dance, declined to do the Bolero together on the grounds that George Haft didn't want any body to know they had taught him how. When asked to Carioca they declined modestly. “Kid’s stuff,” they said. “I wish to thank the freshman class, and the merchants who do nated prizes, for their splendid co operation with those in charge, which was so important in making our picnic a success,” said Lowry.

Although numer ous of these terrifying signs of na tional revolution were present on the campus last week, it wasn’t Mussolini's fault. One of the psy chology lab classes was conduct ing an experiment entailing the use of a paper smoked black and placed on a revolving drum. Al though extremely ^difficult this ex periment seemed very popular with the women, probably because of its “touching’’ habits. The first trial on this Kymo graph nearly always involves rub bing fingers and coatsleeves on the smoked drum, which is detri mental to both the coatsleeves and the smoked drum. Hence the black shirts. Men and women walked about the classroom looking like they were waiting their cue for an A1 Jolson mammy act. The men and instructors had prophesied a quick retreat by the weaker sex, but they came through with flying col ors. (Black!) The major general of the black shirts (or skirts) is a Theta.

Bo vard, dean of the school of physi cal education. The talk will be the eighth of a series, sponsored by the League of Oregon Cities and Bureau of Mu nicipal Research, dealing with problems of municipal government. Herman Kehrli .director of the bureau and executive secretary of the league, made the following statement in a letter sent out to the various public officials in charge of recreation in Oregon towns. “With money incomes greatly reduced and leisue t;me increased through unemployment, it has become important to. every community to give not only its children but its adults some form of recreational program. S uch a program need not be costly, and even during these times ‘life in come' and ‘life values’ may be in creased by a well planned recrea tional program in the hands of some responsible group. “Dean Bovard is by training and experience well qualified to make suggestions of practical value to all cities.” Old Libe Gets Volumes From British Museum Seven volumes of the Library of the British Museum, a catalogue of printed books contained in the famous British library, have been received through the order depart ment of the old libe.

Allen, dean of the school of journalism, spoke on the found ing of the local chapter of Sigma Delta Chi. men's professional jour nalism fraternity, at a breakfast held by the organization Sunday morning at the Anchorage. A panel picture of the ten char ter members of the chapter, which was founded in 1913, was shown. Carlton E. Spencer, professor of law and one of the two charter members on the campus recalled what the original members were like, and told of their present oc cupations. Practically all are work ing in the field of journalism, he said. George Turnbull welcomed the newly initiated men and told of the ideals of the organization. Douglas Polivka, president of Sigma Delta Chi, outlined the plans of the fra ternity next year. A director, con taining the correct addresses ot the 227 members of the chapter and their occupations is planned.

NEWTON The Super Special “Viva Villa" is what, the movie producers call a “super special.” It is a picture on which is spent a great deal of money and time; on which two or three writers pre pare a script and then have it thrown away; on which lots of celluloid is scrapped, and in which a great, many players appear. Then it is ballyhooed exten sively. Often super specials are not worth the ballyhoo. “Viva Villa” is. Wallace Beery fits the role was also news editor of the Em erald.

Walthal makes an excellent “leetle feller,” as Villa calls Mexico’s savior, Ma dero. Young Villa witnesses the death of his peon father under the lash at an order from the hacendado. That evening he kills one of the household of the hacendado Toy stabbing him in the back. From then on he lives in the hills, com ing out only to loot and plunder. Francesco Madero, a small, gen tle, kindly Spaniard, takes Villa’s friendship and convinces him that they must fight for Mexico. They win and Villa goes to peaceful farming. He gets into trouble and is exiled from Mexico. Meantime, Madero is in Mexico City drawing up a bill to restore the land to the peons. He is as sassinated. Villa comes out of exile to lead 60,000 peons to Mexico City. He pushes through the restoration bill and retires. There is more, and it is well worth seeing.
