Students Search For Mad Slugger Decoys Garbed as Women Fail to ‘Bait’ Attacker Of Coeds ! BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 23 CAPi A student’s vigilance com j rnittee and a picked squad of ; Boulder police patrolled the Uni I ver.-ity of Colorado campus to night stalking a mad slugger who has bludgeoned nine university : co-eds in four days. Women students have been ord ; ered to remain indoors at night | unless aecompained by male es j corts. Chief of Police R. C. Prater said he has kept the information secret ! while he attempted to “bait” the ; slugger with policemen dressed as | women. These officers, as well as university students also dressed as women, promenaded the campus at night hoping the slugger would accost them. Other officers hid in the shrub bery on the campus waiting to pounce upon the slugger. Even while they were guarding the cam pus several women were slugged, Chief Prater revealed. The first attack occurred last Friday night. On each successive night one or two women students have been attacked. Chief Prater said the slugger undoubtedly was demented for there apparently was no motive for the attacks. The women were not robbed and except for striking them once, the man made no further attempt to assault them.

Dutch Team I .a nils Second MELBOURNE, Oct. 23.—(AD K. D. Parmentier and J. J. Moll, ! the Dutch team, arrived at Mel bourne today to win second prize in the London-to-Melbourne air derby. It was as thrilling; a fight to the finish of the world’s greatest air race as could have been hoped for. Turner’s hopes of getting sec ond place ahead of the Dutch team were becoming brighter every min ute while the latter’s heavy Amer ican (Douglas) air liner was bogged down at Albury, where the fliers had been forced to land dur ing the night to dodge thunder storms. Working frantically with a ground crew, Parmentier finally soared from an improvised landing field and flashed into Melbourne hardly more than 150 miles ahead of the Americans. Meet Begins With Japan’s Naval Demand Representatives Seeking Removal of ‘Ratio’ Action Awaits Submission Of Japanese Plan To Americans LONDON, Oct .23—f APi Jap an today told Great Britain she wants navies henceforth limited on the basis of their total tonnage and demands that the word "ra tio” be left out of future treaties. Those,, in substance were the proposals of Ambassador Tsuneo and Admiral Isorku Yamamoto at today’s Anglo-Japanese meeting formally opening conversations here among Japan, Great Britain and the United States in prepara tion for the 1935 naval conference The Japanese further insisted that Britain and America recog nize "the principle" of equality in defensive armaments Nippon’s plan would classify ships of war as offnsive and defensive weapons— and thus get rid of the “ratio" plan, which Japan maintains keeps her on an inferior footing. It was indicated, however, that no decision will be reached until Japan’s plans are presented to the American delegates, Norman H. Davis and Admiral William H. Standley, tomorrow. The British, headed by Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, pro bably will confer with the Ameri cans Thursday. This will give the two powers, standing together for keeping the substance of the pres ent treaties which Japan proposes to renounce, an opportunity to agree on their reply. Tokyo’s main points, growing out of her dissatisfacion with the "ratio” principle which allows Japan only three-fifths the naval weapons Britain or the United States may have, were these: 1. The powers should agree that Japan may have equality, “in principle,” in defensive arma ments. 2. The ratio system should be abolished, and defensive ships limited on a total tonnage basis, instead of by categories. 3. Each nation would drastically reduce “offensive” armaments, thus cutting down the chances of any war of aggression, while 'building whatever “defefnsivfe” ships within the tonnage limit agreed she feels she needs for se curity.

A typical business meeting is worked out and presented wherein points are brought up involving parliamentary law and these are explained in the meeting for the benefit of the members of the community organization, in this manner instructing them in par liamentary procedure so that they will know how to use it in their own meetings. Other features are also pre sented on the programs in the form of short debates, readings, and musical numbers. The experience of appearing be fore groups and the public which is afforded those in the teams is valuable in developing poise and self confidence. Library Will Receive Book by S. K.

Theater Revue McDonald- Mae West in “Belle of the Nineties” with Roger, Pryor, John Mack Brown, and Duke Ellington’s orches tra. By R. KNUDSEN Crosbys Forward! A those with ability to furn ish entertainment of any type are now being offered an oppor tunity to write their names in the bright lights and earn a little money at the same time. The Mc Donald management is initiating a “College Night” program to be presented every Friday night at the McDonald theater in conjunc tion with the regular show. All talent to be used in this half-hour stage program is to be drawn from the University cam pus. Sherwood Burr is selecting material and will be there him self with his 10-piece archestra. Crooners, Crosbys, quartets, act ors, ventriliquists, and contortion ists all have an opportunity to demonstrate their wares in the college night program. All those interested should get in immediate touch with Sherwood Burr. University Theater Although the steadiest drains on campus pocket-books for dra matic purposes are directed into the box offices of the Eugene mo tion picture houses ,the legitimate stage also holds an important place in the entertainment of Eu gene citizens and University stu dents. With the excepttion of the Port landers, this will probably be the first time that many students will have had the opportunity to see or be able to take part in good stage productions, produced under expert tutelage. All of the damatic work at the University is under the direction of Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt and is col lectively called the University theater. The Guild Hall Players constitute the most advanced group in the theater. They are students who have had consider able experience and with few ex ceptions are juniors and seniors. At the present time they are play “Leave It to Psmith,” Psmith as in Psmart or Psmall. This com edy will be produced about the middle of November. Play Production Studied Future DeMilles are also al lowed an opportunity to receive extensive training and practice through a special play production group. Each winter they select players from the' campus at large and direct the work of several plays. Other groups studying set ting design and property con struction also contribute. 4Y’ Membership Campaign Differs From Old Drives Two YWCA Departments Are Combined for Convenience The annual Y. W. C. A. member ship drive, which began yesterday and will continue throughout the week, is different this year from any of the previous drives; for this year, membership and finance are the same. Instead of 50 cents a term, as before, $1 for the whole year will be asked for the member ship fee. This avoids the confu sion and monotony of separate drives for membership and finance three times a year, which was the case formerly. Joyce Busenbark is chairman of the drive. Co-chairman is Pearl Johanson, leader of the Purpose and Contact Directorate, the mem bers of which will work in living organizations. In the main the drive will be carried out in the houses and halls. Cards are being printed this year, stating the name of the girl, membership fee paid, and lists of interests to be checked. Here again is the advantage of having membership and finance combined during the one week early in fall term, for there is only one card to sign and consider this year. All women interested in the “Y” and its activities are urged to sign for membership. Town girls w'ho are not contacted by one of the town representatives, Theda Spi cer, Maxine Vaughn, Margaret Robrtson, and Virginia Endicott, are asked to come over to the Y.W. C. A. bungalow and talk to Miss Hughes, executive secretary or Rosalind Gray, president of the “Y” about membership. Onthank Directs Salvation Army Drive on Campus Horse Asks Student Body To Support Relief Campaign Under the direction of Dean Karl W. Onthank, students of the University and of all living organ izations will have an opportunity to contribute to the Salvation Army drive which is now in pro gress. Dean Wayne Morse, chairman of the drive for Lane county, said in regard to the subject yesterday af ternoon: “I am confident that members of the faculty and stu dent body will support generously the Lane county program of the Salvation Army. The merits of the work are so well-known to all that 1 shall comment upon it only by emphasizing the point that a large part of its energy is devoted to the much needed social service of re building and rehabilitating charac ter and lives of less fortunate members of our community. “In the protected cloister of a university environment it is very easy for us to forget the discour aging conditions under which many of our society are forced to live. The psychological costs of our present economical emergencies is in my opinion an even greater so cial loss than the economical costs of the depression. “The devotion of the Salvation Army workers to the task of re kindling the fires of hope and am bition in the so-called “down and outers” dictates that those of us in more fortunate circumstances should contribute whole heartedly to the cause.” A group of faculty solicitors are now canvassing the faculty mem romEKf is •• cxrnoi Homecoming Decorations Wallboard Lumber Lath Nails Phone 1059 MIDGLEY PLANING MILL 4th and High Streets ”BII!llfll!IIMII!IIH:llin!!!inili:il!!IB!!!!!B!:!;!BI!!l!fll!lll Work on Campus W alks Completed For Present Year The walks which have been fin ished around Johnson hall are a part of the plan of campus walks which has recently been completed.

The final draft was made up by Professor Cutlibert and approved by the business office. All the work that was planned for this year is finished now.
