Guess What i Van Lydegraf’s column “Guess What" presents puzzling questions daily for Emerald readers. Iiovv many can you answer? The answers , to the questions appear on page | two. NUMBER 84 Resume i of the Way’sNews ! By the Associated Press >... '• FEBRt AKV 23 --' To Appeal Labor Case WASHINGTON.—A quick appeal to the supreme court was promised today by Attorney General Cum mings as the administration’s answer to the lastest challenge to NRA—a federal court decision holding section 7-A unconstitu tional as applied to the Weirton steel company. This move, he added, is to be part of an effort to bring order out of a welter of conflicting lower court decisions affecting not only NRA but numerous phases of the new deal program as well. Siam King May Resign BANGKOK, Siam—Siamese to day believed their five-foot king, Prajadhipok, was all ready to carry out his threat to renounce his ancient throne. While strictest censorship kept the press here silent, there were reports parliament had rejected the conditions laid down by the mon arch for withdrawal of his abdica tion threat. Neither official confir mation nor denial of the reports was to be had. Holmes Is Gravely III WASHINGTON—Oliver Wendell Holmes, once the “great liberal” of the supreme court, was so grave ly ill tonight that oxygen was being used in an efofrt to save his life. Insurgents W'eaken WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—(AP) —With President Roosevelt taking a direct hand, and with signs of weakening apparent in the insurg ent ranks, senate Democratic lead ers tonight became more hopeful of a quick break in the $4,880,000, 000 relief bill deadlock. The chief executive and the senate Democratic leader—Robin son of Arkansas—during the late afternoon discussed ways and means of ending the snarl occa sioned by senate adoption of the McCarran prevailing wage amend ment. Democratic chiefs also contended that public reaction, expected by the administration to develop soon er had begun to be felt. How great an effect it would have on the stand the 21 bolting Democrats took on the wage amendment was not fully disclosed, but some pointed to the proposal of a com promise amendment today b y Senator Reynolds (D.-N.C.), one of those who left the administra tion fold on the McCarran proposi tion. Mendieta Hits at Strike HAVANA, Feb. 28 — (AP) — President Carlos Mendieta lashed out at striking students and school teachers today with the charge that their movement was “political, communistic and revolutionary.” His cabinet riddled by five res ignations in the face of the strike, which claims over 300,000 adher ents, Mendieta, denounced leaders of the movement who seek Men dieta’s overthrow. The government, Mendieta warned, is “maintaining an atti tude of watchfulness” and “the au thorities will take necessary meas ures” to halt any disorders. Fraternity Group Talks on Housing A lengthy discussion to decide upon whom the financial burden of housing groups of high school stu dents entertained yearly by the University of Oregon, was the prin cipal business of the inter-fratern ity council which met yesterday af ternoon in Johnson hall. The informal discussion was led by Dr. C. V. Boyer, president of the University, and Marshall Har rison, president of the council. No definite conclusion was reached on the matter, it being unanimously voted to defer action on the ques tion until the next meeting of the council which is to be held next Thursday.

AWS Pledges Full Support OfTraditions Catherine Coleman Tells Of Decision to Stand Behind Council Cornell Continue in Policy To Aid Groups The executive council of the As sociated Women Students voted yesterday afternoon to fall in line with various other campus organi zations to aid in the enforcement of all the Oregon traditions recent ly passed by the executive council of the ASUO. Makes Statement Catherine Coleman, president of the Associated Women Students, released the following statement last evening, telling of the decision of the group of women students: “The policy of the Associated Wo men Students has been to stand behind the faculty and executive council. We will continue to do so in the matter of traditions as long as they are worthwhile and fitting to college and University students. Although several of the traditions outlined in the Emerald apply to men only, the executive council of women students feel that they ai' should be enforced and pledged their whole-hearted support.” Roberta Moody, prominent mem ber of the A.W.S. stated, “Tradi tions are the very backbone of school spirit. Memories of your college days are not woven around inspiring 8 o’clocks, but also around the social life, of which traditions play an important part, especially during the freshman year.” Governor Martin Presents Picture A large photograph of the 17th pursuit squadron of the United States army air corps, flying in. absolute perfect formation above a striking formation of cumulus clouds, w*as presented Thursday to the Associated Students of the Uni versity by Governor Charles Mar tin. The picture, measuring 17 inches by 19 inches, is personally auto graphed by the governor as fol lows: “Presented to the Associated Students of the University of Ore gon, Charles H. Martin, gov., Sa lem, Ore., Feb. 14, 1935.” Three photographs were recently given to the governor by a friend ir the corps, one of each which has been presented to Oregon State College, Willamette University, and the University of Oregon. The letter, announcing the pre senting of the gift, received by Joe Renner, president of the ASUO, stated, in part, as follows: “May I take this opportunity of assuring you of my deep and abiding inter est in the welfare of the young peo ple of Oregon and particularly in the welfare of the students in our various institutions of higher learn ing.” Helen Veblen Directs University High Play Miss Helen Veblen, senior, and prominent in many dramatic pro ductions on the campus, is direct ing a one-act comedy, "Mrs. Will’s Will,” at the University high school. The play will be presented in this morning’s assembly. Miss Veblen is a student of Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, and has had much dramatic experience during her three years on the Oregon campus. Members of the Scarlet Masque, University high school dramatic club, included in the cast are; Phoebe Breyman, Lucy Downing, Rachael Koken, Jean Cramer, and Dorothy Denslow. Kidnapped rSelf His father has forgiven Allan K. Bomberger, 21, above, Wabash Col lege honor student, for a “self ab duction” plot, but the federal gov ernment has not and is moving to send the youth to prison for a $50, 000 extortion attempt. Young Bomberger readily confessed the hoax by which he hoped to get the money from his wealthy Hammond, Ind., lawyer parent. Oregon Bindery Inner Workings Told by Paasche Bits of the historical and per sonal background as well as the working of the University bindery were brought to light in an inter view with Sigurd Paasche who has served as foreman of the plant since its installation in 1922. Paasche, who was taught the trade in his father’s bindery in Norway, came to this country when he was 17. His first positions were in the large book binding plants in Chicago where specializ ation was required. Later he was employed in the Stanford and Berkley university binderies. In 1911 Paasche came to Eugene where he did much of the library binding then handled by private workmen, and when the University office was established, at that time in McClure, he secured a position there. Plant Is Modern According to Paasche, the Ore gon bindery is as modern but smaller than those of the California schools in which he was employed. Hand work and skill in all phases of the trade are required in this plant. For (.he past three years lack of finances has prevented the binding of the various newspapers but it has now been completed with the aid of the S. E. R. A. student help. Repairs and rebinding of old books is also done by the bindery, not only for the University library but for the Ashland and Monmouth normals and the medical school. Croesus Is Topic For Dunn Speech Croesus, the King of Lydia, whose name is synonymous with fabulous wealth, will be the topic of the weekly radio talk given by Frederic S. Dunn, head of the Latin department, over KOAC tonight. The talk is scheduled for 8:35 in stead of 8:15, his usual time, be cause of the broadcasting of the Pacific Coast championship game. Excavations at Sardus, the cap ital city, have revealed gold trin kets, implements, ornaments, and actual stamped gold currency which was the earliest ever issued by any government, proving that some of the legends about Croesus are true. rStreets of New'York’ Opens In Very Little Theater Tonite The curtain arises tonight on | “Streets of New York," a tearful melodrama written by Dion Bouci- [ cault and produced by the Very Little Players under the direction of Arthur Gray. The play is being given in the Very Little Theater. Gray, who was once a member I of the Guild Hall Players here, is1 rceognized in the field of dramat ics as being a finished director. He has been teaching, acting, and coaching plays throughout the United States during the last three years. The settings, are exact re productions of a nineteenth, cen tury set, replete with all details including- the gold cupids. They were designed by Lance Hart, pro fessor of art at the University. It is a rip-roaring melodrama with heart rendering songs, and hell-diving villains, virtuous maid ens and strong hearted heroes. The play starts at 8 o’clock sharp, and will run for six days. The cast: Edward Buchanen, Mitzi Buchanen, Ed Woolzen, Wil fred Rodman, Nell Baxter, Rodney! Burden, Mary Bennett, Fred Cuth-j bert, Karl Thunemann, £»mpromise Out, Fee Controversy Group Resolves Referendum Substitutes Voted Down Rumors that a compromise1 would be offered in the optional student body fees controversy lodged in the camp of the referers last night, but not for long. There will be no compromise. Voting to a man, the group said that the referendum campaign would go on and that no substitute would' be accepted. Howard Ohmart, campus chair man, said that two possible com promises were rumored. The first would provide for an exemptions committee, similar to that now considering military drill object ors. The committee would hear the pleas of needy students, pass on their relative poverty, and de cide whether or not to exemot them from the $5 a term fee. f Second Rumors Option | A second compromise measuVe pledged that only $2.50, that part 01 the fees used for athletics, would be compulsory. The other $2.50, to be used to bring concerts, etc., to the campus, would be optional. Disposing of these rumors quick ly, the committee proceeded to map out further procedure for their ref erendum fight. S. Eugene Allen was named grange chairman. He said that the backing of the entire state grange may be secured, and if such can be done, the state grange master will send petitions to every local grange local in Ore gon. Allen believes several thou sand signatures might be obtained that way. Debaters Chosen Howard Ohmart and Dick Neu berger were selected to represent the pro-optional forces in the de bate scheduled for next Tuesday morning. Another meeting of the optionalists will be held directly following the debate, it was an nounced. New members of the executive committee were selected. They are Gordon Connelly, S. Eugene Allen, Reinhart Knudsen, and Fred Mountain. There are now 16 stu dents on the committee. Verne Adams, treasurer, report ed $6 in cash received, and more than $20 in pledges from faculty members, students and townspeo ple. Letter Advises Snell A letter had been prepared last night apprising Earl Snell, secre tary of state, of the intended ref erendum. Snell will give the ref endum a name and pass it on to Attorney-General I. H. Van Win kle for approval. The petition reads as follows: “To the Honorable Earl Snell, secretary of state for the state of Oregon: “We, the undersigned citizens and legal voters of the state of Ore gon, respectfully order that senate bill No. 204 entitled ‘A bill for an act authorizing the state board of higher education to levy and col lect from students in the state in stitutions of higher learning an as sociated student’s fee,’ passed by the 38th legislative assembly of the state of Oregon, at the regular session of said legislative assem bly, shall be referred to the people of the state for their approval or rejection at the regular election to be held in November, A.D. 1936.’’ Decision Upholds Emerald Legality Answering a request of Senator Peter Zimmerman for a ruling as to the legality of the Oregon Daily Emerald’s financial support. At torney General I. H. Van Winkle yesterday clearly justified the method now used. A report in the Eugene Register Guard last night, stated that Zim merman, in collaboration with cam pus backing headed by Richard L. Neuberger requested the opinion and based their attack on the Em erald on the premise that it was published out of private funds not subject to the control of the comp troller. In a statement issued last night Neuberger said, “I did not know of the matter until I read last night’s Guard. However I approve Senator Zimmerman’s stand. Plans for New Library Near Final Completion Advancing rapidly to their final stage, the plans for the new library underwent several minor changes yesterday during a meeting of the library committee with H. R. Douglass, librarian and Dean Ellis F. Lawrence. Lawrence expects to have the plans in the hands of the P.W.A. officials within a short time so that detailed drawings and specifications may be completed. Rebate Sides On Line For Fee Argument Renner, Harrison Foster Compulsion; Olimart Neuberger Oppose Boyer Asks Cooperation of Audience After many conferences and much private “thinking it over” last night, contestants in the com pulsory versus optional fees debate were ready to square off in Ger linger hall next Tuesday evening m what promises to be a historic battle. ^ Joseph Renner, student body president, and Marshall Harrison, president of the inter-fraternity council, will represent the compul sory fee group. Howard Ohmart TThd Dick Neuberger are carrying the banner for the optional group. Neuberger Okayed There was some hesitancy last night in granting the debate an official okay since Neuberger is no longer enrolled in the University and it was thought his appearance might react against the school. Of ficial sanction was forthcoming late last night when President C. V. Boyer told the Emerald he was willing to “go ahead, and open the building to the contestants.” Dr. Boyer’s Comment “I want an understanding, how ever,” Dr. Boyer said, “that there will be no applause, no heckling and no personalities indulged in. I have no intention of policing the meeting. I am relying on the good will and self control of the stu dents to maintain an orderly con vocation. “I hope it will be undertaken with the greatest sincerity and self restraint. To do otherwise would defeat the purpose of the meeting. It is to be hoped that both groups will cooperate to insure an order ly, earnest, honest and intellectual meeting.” Susan Campbell Gains Semi-finals Susan Campbell hall edged Al pha Delta Pi basketabll team from the semi-finals yesterday when the mill race coeds lost 47 to 23. This afternoon, Gamma Phi Beta will play the Susan Campbell team for the championship. Alpha Delta Pi, leading in the first quarter, dropped behind the hall hoopsters two baskets and at the end of the half the score was 15 to 11 in favor of Susan Camp bell. The haliers gained steadily in the third and fourth quarters of the game easily checking up points and in the closing minutes of the game rolled in baskets to get a large lead on the score. Miriam Butler was high score woman for the game and for Susan Campbell hall, dropping in 31 points. Gretchen Smith, Alpha Del ta forward, credited her team with 20 points. Playing on the Alpha Delta Pi team were M. Kissling, G. Smith, M. Sunstrup, I. Franzen, D. Bell oni, A. Dement and B. Shoemaker Those composing the Susan Campbell team were M. Butler, S. Moshberger, B. Scherzinger, B. Ketchum, M. Anet, E. Untermann, E. Genoves and G. Chabot. BAND TO PLAY AT GAME The University of Oregon hand, under direction of John H.

Misinterpreted University of Oregon officials have received no word regarding any possible change in plans for financial aid extended to students under the FERA for next term, it was stated here today by Dr. C. V. Boyer, president. A dispatch from Washington, D. C., printed recently in Oregon papers, quoted Harry L. Hopkins, relief administrator as saying that direct relief to schools would be stopped at the end of the present term. It is believed that he meant funds supplied directly to schools to enable them to pay teachers’ salaries and upkeep of the institu tions. Plans Unchanged At Oregon all of the money goes directly to the students and none to the university, it is pointed out. Earlier in the year plans were to continue this grant through the school year, and no word of any change in this contemplated pro gram has been received by the Uni versity, Dr. Boyer said. Marksmen Take Another Victory In Weekly Shoot Blvtho’s Men Make Low Scores; Win Anyway Oregon’s lead slinging sharp shooters added five more scalps to their already impressive win col umn, results from last week's pos tal shoot showed today. Although last week’s scores were the lowest that Sergeant Har vey Blythe's marksmen have made this season, Montana State 3G72 counters, and Oklahoma A and M with 3193 fell victims of Oregon's mark of 3719 for the ten man team. For the five man aggrega tion Oregon hung up a mark of 1900, while the University of Ken tucky and the Washington univer sity at St. Louis, Missouri, were scoring 1779 and 1825 respectively. Columbia university returned, a score chart for a five man team with each shooting in three posi tions instead of the usual four. Scoring on this basis, Oregon won handily, 1400 to 1305. Results from the ninth corps area shoot will probably be com plete late next week. In the mean time, the Oregon squad may enter scores by two five men teams in the Hearst trophy shoot, the na tional five man contest. Scores for this week, although not complete, show promise of breaking another Oregon record, both team and in dividual. $1,000 Literary Contest Started Announcement of a $1,000 con test for short stories and poems conducted by the Literary Ameri ca magazine has been received bv the library.
