The vote was 3 to 2 and Com missioner J. E. Bennett assailed the measure as “an insult to the teachers.” Ernest Olson of the Portland business men's public speaking class urged enactment of the reso lution, insisting that radical doc trines being urged in schools and elsewhere are a menace to the American government. 1 Constitution Violated Bennett said banks and Wall street were violating the constitu tion and nothing was being done about it by those who would “gag” the teachers. Commissioner R. C. Clyde de manded a definition for the word “radical,” saying he had been called a radical in advocating pub lic ownership, free textbooks, wid ow’s pensions and other “progres sive thought.” Olson replied that he had not ex pected to “have to argue with American citizens in defense of the constitution.” Eugene Gleemen Sing in Portland Eighty members of the Eugene Gleemen are scheduled to leave Eugene at 1 o’clock Friday for Portland where they will give a concert in the civic auditorium that evening under the auspices of the Portland Rotary club.

Underwood is trying a special experiment for this program. He is presenting the fourth movement from Brahms’ First Symphony. Brahms is usually considered by those but slightly acquainted with music as "high brow,” yet Under wood has pointed out that many themes from his works are used by Hollywood as musical backgrounds for their pictures. One example in particular which he cited, is the horn solo woven in during several scenes in that lately current film, "Gabriel Over the Whitehouse.” This symphony is the first com position of Brahms ever to be played on the Oregon campus either by student groups or visit ing orchestras, Underwood said. He further stated that he is so sure of its popular approval that he has reserved this composition for the final number on the pro gram, which he considers to be the most important position. Student body members will be admitted free to the concert. Contest Renews Legal Discussion The Hilton prize contest, to fost er the oral discussion of legal problems, will be held again this year for law school students during the first two weeks of spring term, Claud H.

The first prize of $50 will be contributed by Frank H. Hil ton, of Portland. The second prize of $20 will be given by the law school. Each contestant speaks for approximately 15 minutes without the aid of manuscript, although brief notes may be relied upon. Any regularly enrolled law school student is eligible to enter the contest, but he must sign up no later than 5 o’clock Tuesday, February 5 with either Orlando John Hollis, chairman of the facul ty committee, or Claud H. Brown. Dean’s Office Receives Foreign Fellowships Application blanks for foreign fellowships offered by the New York School of Social Work, New York, have been received by Karl W.

Gridmen to Crash 'Capers'’? Olu Yes’? Yawn Coed Cops i Every year some brave mascu line student endeavors to “crash the gate” at the annual Coed Cap ers. In order to test the opinion of various men on the campus, in terviews were obtained this year Joe Kenner, A.S.U.O. president, had no opinion, but he did repeat a rumor he had heard. “Six football men,” he said, “are planning on attending the Coed Capers this yea)-. They say that too many sissies and pansies have tried to crash the gate in previous years, so they plan to go in even if coed guardians try to stop them.” Morrison Speaks Jimmy Morrison, former humor editor of the Emerald, expressed keen interest. “I think it would b? quite an experience,” he saiu. “I have even contemplated trying it myself some time, although I have heard the girls keep rather rigid vigilance at the door." The Emerald editor, Bill Phipps, presented something original. Said Bill: “My suggestion would be that if any men wanted to go in for that sort of thing they should have an all-men’s maypole dance, featuring the Vassar daisy chain.” Several freshmen men have been sitting around, holding t’neir re spective breaths, and anticipating being ordered by some of their “brothers” to break into the femi nine party. Despite the rumors, the Senior Cops have no qualms of fear. Under the supervision of Gail Mc Credie, fifteen prominent senior women will closely guard all en trances, and be prepared to throw out any and all male intruders. Members of Senior Cops are: Gail McCredie, Elizabeth Bendstrup, Roselind Gray, Catherine Coleman, Mildred Ringo, Marygolde Hard) ■ feon. Pearl Base, Peggy Cullers, Jo Waffle, Althea Peterson, Nancy Archbold, Virginia Howard, Val borg Anderson, Dagmar Haugen, Marytine New, and Frances Helf •rieh. McCall to Blow Tonight from 7 until 10 o’clock all Oregon coeds will romp and play as they did in years gone by. Costumes of all kinds and descrip tions will be on display.

Frosh counsellors will be there with their “little sisters.” But above all, at a strictly femi nine function, strictly sophisticated coeds will show themselves full of pep and gaiety. Northwest Sees Sun Eclipsed on Sunday Morning Pruett Says Moon Hides Sun About 7:45 The third of seven sun eclipses which are predicted for this year will occur Sunday morning, Feb ruary 3, shortly after sunrise. In a recent article, J. H. Pruett, astronomy instructor of the Uni versity extension division, states that the eclipse will be visible from all parts of North America. Along the Pacific coast the sun will rise eclipsed but the major part will occur after sunrise. Seven is the greatest number of eclipses which can occur in one year, according to Pruett. Such a number in a single year usually occurs only once in a century, but during this century three such years, 1917, 1935, and 1982, will occur or have been recorded. The maximum eclipse for ob servers on the Pacific coast will occur about 7:45, or about sunrise where there is a distant or level horizon. About one hour later ot 8:45 the sun will again be clear, as the moon passes on its way be tween it and the earth. At Sacra mento 55 per cent of the sun’s sur face will be obscured at the maxi mum, 64 per cent in Portland, and 66 per cent will be invisible from Seattle. From these figures an estimation for other localities may be made. In telling of ways to view the eclipse, Pruett says that the ob server should not look at the sun through field glasses or a telescope which are not protected with a heavily darkened glass or a piece of camera film, as a permanent eye injury may result. A piece of smoked glass or camera film makes an ample protection through which the sun may be viewed. It will be possible to take pictures and to make a record of the var ious stages with cameras equipped for small stops and very short ex posures. The best way to view the eclipse, Pruett says, is to focus the sun's image on a piece of white cardboard through a telescope so that many people can view it at once. The farther away the card board is placed the larger and less distinct the image will appear. LIBRARY GROUP MEETS Details and further plans for the new $350,000 library will be made today at a meeting at which E. E. Lawrence, dean of the school of architecture and Miss Lucy Lewis, director of the libraries in the Oregon board of higher education, will confer with M.

Manclm Fighting Threatens Peace Of Russia, Japan 1936 Japan Arms Budget Totals $297,000,000 TOKYO, Jan. 30. — (AP) — A warning before the Japanese house of representatives today that dis putes along the Manchoukuan Siberian border “may cause serious trouble” at any time was under scored tonight with reports of new fighting along the Manchoukuo outer Mongolia border. Rengo (Japanese) news agency, in dispatches trom Hsinking, Man choukuo, said Japanese-Manchou kuan troops yesterday occupied Kalkha Miao on the Manchu-Mon gol frontier, driving Mongols be fore them. Clash Significlant (The new clash along the north west frontier of Manchoukuo, nom inally independent but Japanese advised empire, was regarded as significant in the light of Japanese contentions that Soviet penetration into outer Mongolia has resulted I in virtual communization of that I vast territory.) Budgets May Climb Japan's war lords pointed again to the Soviet “menace” to Man choukuo to explain to the house of representatives, considering the biggest war budget in Japan’s his tory, why the empire can expect (Please turn to page 2) Morticians Fight, Offer Free Burial ASTORIA, Ore., Jan. 30.— (AP) —Two undertakers, grappling in a price-slashing war, are indirectly pouring dollars into the Clatsop county treasury. Bids were opened here today for the burial of Clatsop paupers tor the year. One undertaker, it was found, bid one mill for each burial ten for a cent. His rival offered to inter the paupers free of charge. The p>ice slashing started three years ago when one firm was en gaged at $35 a burial. Next year the other firm cut the bid to $15. Last year after considerable dis cussion, the first mentioned under taker slashed his price to one mill . and got the contract. This year I the other went him one mill better I and bid “no fee.” Now the county court is seeking advice. It doesn’t know whether it can legally accept a “free of charge bid.” The morticians did not explain the reason for the bids. Between 20 and 30 pauper burials a year take place in Clatsop county.

Forbids 'Hell Week* Hazing Fraternal Council Draws Fair Practice Code For Greek Row j Croup Advises Use of New Rushing, Dating Rules SEATTLE, Jan. 30.—(AP)--The University of Washington fratern ity council today announced plans for a “code of fair practice" in "hazing" pledges next fall, after the recent arrests of two pledges for taking a plumbing fixture from a service station. The code is designed to take the hell out of the annual “hell week” on “Greek row,” so far as the pub lic is concerned. Under it, “rush ing” stunts may be private and in nocuous as those government pan hellenic sororities. The sisterhoods’ most public and severest stunt is forcing a pledge to attend her classes without makeup. Code Provides Rules The hell week code, at sugges tions of Herbert Condon, Dean of men, will provide: No “rough stuff” or physical torture.” Activities to be confined to char ter houses. Adoption of a five day “silent” period before fall rushing, so pledges can do some studying. Extending the time for final pledging to C p. m. Saturday before hell week. Compulsory use of uniform date cards by all chapters. Hof man Collects Sixteen Encores From New York Josef I-Iofmann, hailed as "the greatest pianist of our times,” af ter his New York concert on Jan uary 19, is apparently content to remain that. Under the name of Dvorsky, he used to compose dur ing the summer. Now, he says, during that time he just decompos es. Years ago, when he was study ing composition, he learned to play the violin, as the stringed instru ments are so important in orches tration. He found, however, that he had to give this up because violinists develop callouses on the fingers of their left hand, which are awk ward for pianists. Brought, by ASUO The famous artist comes to Eu gene for a concert a week from Sunday under the sponsorship of ASUO. Tickets for non-student body members and townspeople will be placed on sale the latter part of the week. The concert will be in McArthur court, and stu dent body members admitted free. Reports of his Carnegie hall re cital tell of a packed house, with standees four rows deep, demand eu sixteen encores, it would seem that Hofmann is outdoing himself this season. Hofmann is not an old man—he is now approaching what is usually termed the prime of life. He was already a recognized virtuoso at an age when most children are still in kindergarten. Fire Drill Procedure Irritates Sleepy Girls “Grrrrrrrr, will someone stop ringing- that gong! Some people’s idea of a joke, when I want to sleep.

Norris Professors List Reasons For Recommendation A report on the heating and ven tilating conditions of all the Uni versity buildings on the campus was turned in yesterday to the school administration for their con sideration by Will V. Norris, pro fessor of physics. A questionnaire was sent out last month by Professor Norris to all the faculty members and employees of the school, asking them to give him the reports on the heating and ventilating conditions in the classrooms. One hundred and thirty-seven replies were received. The report consists of a digest of the questions asked with com ments, a summary of the different points, and recommendations for improving conditions. Automatic Control Asked Thermostatically controlled tem perature valves operating on an electric time schedule was the ma jor recommendation made to the administration. Reasons given for the recommendation are that build ings would have a uniform temper ature at any time, that heat would be turned on and off automatical ly which would remove the respon sibility of such control from all the people now operating the va rious school units, it would allow the janitors to work on a regular eight hour schedule. When the new library is finished, it is believed that no additional janitorial force will he necessary, and a saving of at least 10 per cent of the fuel cost should be saved.
