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

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.

Uses Kymograph
For Black Shirts
Black shirts! 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!)

shirts (or skirts) is a Theta. She

esting to speculate on what the
transfer record showed. After
making the record it is run through
a solution to make it permanent.
In spite of the difficulties every
woman completed the experiment
and carried away her witnesses of
the struggle on the “cuff!”
Dean Bovard Will
Talk Over KOAC
“A Suggested Summer Recrea
tional Program for Cities and
Towns” is the topic of an address
to be delivered over KOAC at 7:55
Wednesday evening by John F. 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.”

Eric VV. Allen, dean of the school

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

ternity next year. A director, con
taining the correct addresses ot
the 227 members of the chapter

The fraternity paid respect in

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.
Formal initiation was held in
Gerlinger hall Sunday morning at
10 o'clock preceding the breakfast
at which Winston Allard ,Arthur
Derbyshire, Barney Clark, George
Callas, Ned Simpson ,and Bob
Moore were initiated. ,

perfectly, and Henry B. 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.
