Today— "Gentlemen Preferred.’’ VOLUME XXXIV__ m UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1934 NUMBER 2 Resume of Today’s News By Associated Press - October 4 . SPANISH STRIKERS CLASH Madrid—A revolutionary gen eral strike called to fight Premier Alejandro Lerroux's new rightist government began just before mid night here as taxis commenced withdrawing from the streets on orders to cease work at midnight. Strikers stormed the Montana Savoie barracks, engaging in their first clash with soldiers of the re public. Preliminary reports stated that many were injured. STRIFE MARS LABOR MEET San Francisco—Storm clouds generated by two long smoulder ing issues began forming at the American Federation of Labor con vention here today. Contention over the question of vertical unions—organization of workers by industries instead of by crafts—developed to the point where Charles P. Howard, presi dent of the International Typo graphical union, announced he would offer a compromise plan. The fight that threatened to break up the federation’s building trades department remained unsettled. STRIKE ARBITRATION SET Portland—Charles W. Hope, sec retary of the federal regional labor board, tonight called for a confer ence tomorrow between employers and drivers involved in the Port land truck strike afecting inter city service. “I can report progress,” Hope declared. However representatives of the employers and drivers were not so optimistic. The controversy started when union truckers re fused to take trucks to the Swift & Co. plant here where butchers and boners are striking for union recognition, increased wages and better working conditions. TO ASK TRIAL DELAY New York—Delay in the trial of Bruno Hauptmann, indicted for extorting $50,000 ransom fruit lessly paid by Colonel Charles A.

The attorney declared today he would resist any attempts to ex tradite the alien ex-convict for trial on the baby’s abduction and death. 1NSIJLL METHOD REVEALED Chicago—From the books and records of some 75 corporations, the government today began as sembling proof in support of it’s claim that Samuel Insult's ‘Cor poration Securities company of Chicago” was only a weapon with which to take $100,000,000 from investors. First witnesses were the office managers of New York and Chi cago brokerage houses, the first of 75 or more who will be asked to identify records in the case. De fense attorneys questioned them at such length that only five could be heard, indicating that it may take a week to cover this prelim inary testimony. TITLED FRIENDS OFFER AID New York — Titled friends of Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, in cluding the prince whose name was to come to her aid in the court linked with hers, prepared today skirmish for custody of her ten year-old daughter, Gloria.

MacDuff, housing secretary and assistant dean of women. Mr. Kumazawa, general secretary of the Japanese chamber of com merce, is stopping here for a short visit on his way to New York.

Etching Press Located In Architecture School Eyler Brown, professor of archi tecture, who returned last year from a leave of absence abroad, has just established an etching press in the architecture building. Brown studied etchings in Belgium, France, and other countries while abroad. According to Ellis F. Lawrence, dean of the school of fine arts, the press is the best on the Pacific coast. Faculty and advanced art students will study the work and make etchings. Rattlesnakes, Indian Relics Found by Science Expedition By ROBERT LUCAS “What with the avoidance of rather annoying rattlesnakes, and the breathless moments accom panying the uncovering of a ‘find’ the trip was a success,” according to Dr. L .S. Cressman, anthropolo gist of the University of Oregon, who has recently returned from an expedition into south-central Ore gon. The trip was jointly financed and represented by the University of Oregon and the University of Stanford. It was for the purpose of further examining petroglyphs, or rock writings, in the area around the Warner and Guano val leys. The expedition left Eugene on July 31 in a model A Ford dedi cated by the Simmons Motor com pany of Eugene. The five men en camped at the Spalding ranch at Guano lake and proceeded toward their scientific experimentation from that point. Their equipment was acquired by cooperation of the geology, psychology, biology, mili tary, and other departments of the University of Oregon. Equipment was also supplied by individuals of the expedition. Although no skeletons were dis covered, a new petroglyph of a horse and horse and rider were uncovered. This discovery is im portant because it gives indication of the period in which the design was made. That this area was oc cupied for centuries was indicated by the petroglyphs found.

Delicate Touch Marks Renditions By Piano Soloist By BETTY OHLEMILLER Last night's recital, the first one offered this year, brought showers of praise upon John and Maude Stehn, soloists, appearing in joint recital for the first time. John Stehn, known by most campus folk as the director of the Oregon band, doesn't do much solo work, so last night’s program was an oc casion well worth attention. Mrs. Stehn's delicacy of touch was noticeable throughout her per formance. It is a rather elusive something that one can’t describe. However, it makes Bach, Mozart, and Haydn, usually considered quite heavy classics, delightful. Her interpretation of the dainty Menuetto from Haydn's ’’Sonata" was truly exquisite. One doesn’t often hear a clarinet as aa solo instrument. The very novelty made John Stehn’s per formance interesting and he hand led his instrument well. His first se lection, "Morceau de Concert” by Auzende gave his instrument a long range, almost from the lowest to the highest pitch of the clarinet, and also called for technical skill on the part of the performer. His second number, "Pierne’s Canzon etta,” appealed more to the listen er’s sense of melody, having a lilt ing, happy melody. Mrs. Stehn’s second group con sisted of brief compositions by Eriedman, Poldini, Mendelssohn, MacDowell, and Palmgren. Here, again, her delicacy of touch added to the beauty of the music. Their final selection was "Grand Duo Concertant" (op. 48) by Web er, in which piano and clarinet alike shared honors, the Allegro and Rondo being especially melo dious. Former Architecture Graduates Successful Harlow Hudson, graduate of architecture in 1932, has received a scholarship in city planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology at Boston. He is studying under the eminent British city planner, Thomas Adams. Arthur Riehl and Edward Hicks, who re ceived their architectural degrees last year, are studying architect ural design there. Richard Marlett, who received his degree in architectural design last year, is studying advanced architecture at Cornell this year. Women students of the Univer sity are being entertained with a complimentary tea this afternoon from 3 to 5 p. m. at McMorran and Washburn store. The affair is open to all those wishing to attend. There will be a social swim for the women at Gerlinger tonight at 7:30. Suits and towels will be fur nished. The Mum sale committee will meet at 4 p. m. in the College Side. All members of the higher busi ness staff of the Emerald will meet this afternoon at 3 o’clock in Grant Theummel’s office at the Ig loo. Joe Renner Talks For Student Body On Pep Broadeast Oregon-Washington Came Publicized by Stations Over Northwest Joe Kenner, president of the as sociated students, was one of the principal speakers on a program broadcast by KGW and KEX in Portland last night. The program was also presented over stations in Seattle in the interests of the Oregon-Washington game, to be played between the two univer sities on October 13. The radio program was spon sored by a group of Portland busi ness men as a part of their Chal lenge Day program, held every year to stimulate interest in the Oregoh-Washingtdh game. The Challenge Day idea was instituted four years ago, when it was de cided that an excursion would be made by Portland business men to Seattle to arouse greater interest in the game which was to be played that year in Portland. The following year Seattle enthusiasts followed the lead set by the Ore gon supporters, and the idea ha3 now become a tradition. Renner’s speech was in the na ture of a pep talk, urging a large attendance at the game. The bands from both Oregon and Washington were also present, and offered sev eral numbers. According to Hugh Rosson, graduate manager, an enormous attendance is anticipated. Enrollment Increases In Business Atl School With over a 30 per cent increase in registration at the school of bus iness administration it has been necessary to add two graduate as sistants to the staff. The two new assistants, Donald Emery and Ju lius Roller, are replacing Trueman Sether who now has a position as auditor in the public works depart ment of the federal government at San Francisco. The library, too, has been af fected by the increase, as the cir culation is greater now than it has been for three years. A new interest in outside reading is being developed by a variety of seven day books in wider fields of inter est for the business administration major. Graduate Visits Campus Harold Call, business adminis tration major in 1934 returned to the campus this week for a short visit. Call is connected with the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., of Ev ertt, Washington. ASUOCondition Made Public by Balance' Sheet Operating Deficit Given As $20,898.19 Report Published Mysteries of Technical Statement Explained By Rosson The financial condition of the associated students of the Univer sity of Oregon, at the close of the last fiscal year was made public in the balance sheet dated June 30, 1934, which was released by Joe Renner, president, yesterday. Net deficit of the student cor poration was listed at $20,898.19. Not including fixe dpropertiea amounting to $283,538.10, total resources amounted to $31,051.51 and total equities were listed at $51,949.70. The complete balance sheet is reprinted elsewhere on this page. The unusually large amount of cash shown was carried over the summer to finance operations in the early fall because of the uncer tainty resulting from optional A. S. U. O. fees, according to Hugh E. Rosson, graduate manager. Items Explained The individual items of the state ment explained by Rosson were: revolving fund, which includes money withdrawn for particular uses to be accounted for later. The person receiving the money is re quired to file receipted bills for all money spent. The revolving fund is used oniy in eases where the ' money is to be spent before the bills can be run through the in tensively checked system of the associated students. Equipment and supplies consists largely of athletic equipment and is carried on the books at its ac tual value and not at cost price. Depreciation Charged Seven per cent of the total value of all fixed investments of the as sociated students, including Mc Arthur court, Hayward field, the athletic fields, the public address system, canoe fete bleachers and furniture and fixtures, is charged as an actual expense of each year, thus distributing the cost of such properties, and providing a replace ment fund. Under equities, the item notes payable on McArthur court is to be paid off by receipts from the $5 building fee which every stu dent at the University pays each term. Money Borrowed The other notes payable item consists of money borrowed from the Alumni Holding Co., which is money originally raised by student subscription to erect a student un ion building. This money was bor rowed at a lower interest rate than could have been obtained from banks. The reserve for trust funds ac count is money deposited with the associated students by various campus organizations. Infirmary Dismisses Patients;Eagle, Quaife Among students roleased from the infirmary this week are Alex Eagle, 193 pound Oregon tackle and Donald Quaife. These two dismissals cut down the infirmary patients to thFee. They are: Bill Paddock, Paul Gol den, and Edward Patton. Commencement Scene of 78 Recalled by Frederic Dunn By FREDERIC S. DUNN Yes,—I have one,—a program of the University’s first anniversary, the ‘Commencement Exercises of Friday Eve., June 21, 1878.' It has caused me to wonder if there is another in existence, and what it was that induced me, a boy of six years, to preserve a copy. It is a piece of art, this souvenir folder from the press of Alexander Bros.,—a soft white paper, the front page displaying a lithograph of Deady hall surrounded by an embossed framework of twining roses, the items of the program on the left inside page, and the re maining two sides devoted to J. T. Cheshire’s class poem. Tom was a local versifier of considerable tal ent, whose compositions were pc* casionally published by the Journal or the Guard. We used to bewail his instability and absence of aim in life. Up, up, we had climbed to a place that was shut off from the hyaline by a roof, and here, in the fourth story of Deady, we cut the University’s first birthday cake with much solemnity and decorum and a deal of self-congratulation. 11 am not quite sure that I recall this one celebration in all its par* [ ticulars, for those first commence ments have all been blended in my memory into one general picture, —a rostrum that looked three blocks long to my boyish imagine* (Please turn to (age 3)
