UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1935 NUMBER 99 Resu me of the Day’s News Dy the Associated Press -■- APRIL ID - Neir Premier Chosen SOFIA, Bulgaria—King Boris, still head man in his government, crossed up contending army fac tions today and named Andrea Toscheff, civilian, diplomat, and historian, to the vacant pramier ship. Toscheff replaced General Petko Zlateff, whose army - dominated cabinet resigned yesterday after the arrest and internment of sev eral leading statesmen tore it apart. At nightfall the king, whose dis position to run Bulgarian affairs has been increasingly evident since his ‘'royal putsch” last January, surprised military and politiea’ circles by choosing Toscheff to form the new government. New Park Proposed CHEYENNE, Wyoming—A new national park that would extend from St, Louis, Ohio, to the Pacific coast is proposed by a special Wyoming commission in a tenta tive legislative measure sent to Representative Paul Greever (D Wyo) for submission to congress. Fascist Leaders Meet ROME — ‘‘A cordial eoloquy of more than an hour” between Be nito Mussolini and Prince Ernst Von Starhemberg, Europe's chief exponent of Fascism, today served to emphasize official Italy's grow ing sentiment for restoration of the Hapsburg dynasty in Austria. • Von Starhemberg — handsome, youthful vice-chancellor of Aus tria, leader of the 100,000-strong fascist Heimwehr and staunch monarchist—talk to II Duce, it was learned, about the Hapsburgs, Austria’s rearmament and the forthcoming Danubian conference iii Rome. It is freely conceded here that Italian officialdom looks upon eventual restoration of the mon archy n little Austria as the only means of staving off permanently Austria’s union with Germany. Await Nazi Reaction LONDON — A feeling akin to foreboding lingered today in Down street, almost deserted thought it was for the Easter holidays, as key British officials awaited Adolf Hitler’s next move. Recalling the German Fuehrer’s predeliction for weekend sensa tions, observers here thought Sat urday or Sunday might bring his expected scathing denunciation of the League of Nations council’s re proof to the rearming reich.

Pan American Clipper Sets Record Fee Workers Set 6000 Signatures Referendum Goal Students to Seek Signers Downtown Today Official endorsement of the stu dent fee referendum by the Oregon civil liberties union has added new zest to the drive for GOOO petition signers in Lane county. A dozen or more students plan to spend today on downtown streets securing sign ers for the petition which aims to put senate bill 204 on the ballot. The student relief committee ex pects to get several thousand sign ers today by thorough coverage of downtown Eugene. Students will work in shifts, covering all the principal street corners and shop ping centers. The relief committee yesterday received the letter from the Ore gon chapter of the American civil liberties union which told that they had adopted a resolution endorsing the referendum. The resolution de clared “this bill would raise higher educations tuition fees and thus withdraw the opportunities for learning from a considerable num ber of worthy citizens of our state. "To compel students to contrib ute to the support of a corporation devoted to activities outside educa tional curriculum is a violation of the liberty which should belong to every individual.” The referendum has also been endorsed by the state grange, the labor federation, leading churches and ministers, the Oregonian, Charles Hansen, state Townsend organizer, and others.

The first parachute with whieh he was equipped became entangled in his wings and opened only partially. When spectators reached the body, the rip-cord of the second ’chute whieh he was required to wear was still in place. Revision of Constitution Will Unite Articles, Amendments Voting Thursday to Decide Acceptance of Change Boasting: several new principles and consisting mainly of a com plete revision of the old constitu tion so as to unite the articles and the amendments voted in last year into one complete unit, the amend ment which associated student members will vote on Thursday appears in complete form in this issue of the Emerald. The complete result includes the work of last year's constitutional revision committee under Thomas Tongue, work this year by Secre tary Nancy Archbold and Presi dent Joseph Kenner, and the moulding and assistance of cam pus leaders and students in all branches of activities. In addition to seeing that all the amendments have been rewritten into articles but still contain the same subject matter, many changes have been necessary to provide meeting any situation under either optional or compul sory fees. One of the greatest single items in the complete revision has been the addition of article number ten which provides for two represen tatives of independent students on the executive council. However the article holds good in any particular year, only if 90 per cent of all undergraduate students are ASUO members by the first Thursday in April. The article provides for the crea tion of four political divisions, one each of fraternity men, sorority women, and independent and dor mitory men, and independent and (Please turn to page four) Harlow Hudson Wins Scholarship In Architecture Hudson's Work Centered On Various Phases Harlow Hudson, graduate of the University school of architecture and allied arts in 1930 and now a graduate student at the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, was awarded the Ion Lewis travel ing scholarship in architecture at a meeting of the managing com mittee of this scholarship held in Portland April 13.

Textile Design Exhibit Shows Order Brought Out of Chaos By Henryetta Mummey “From romanticism to modern ism the craft of textile designing swings — Order comes out of chaos.” This quotation can well be adapted to describe the feeling given by the textile designs now on display in the Little Art gallery of the school of architecture and allied arts. Sigma Kappa is acting as sponsor for the exhibit. The hangings on display are the work of American, French, Aus trian, and German artists. They are suitable for certain purposes and reflect a social atmosphere. Some could only be used in the ultra-modern home, but for the most part they are suitable for the average home and could be hung in living rooms, student's rooms, boudoirs, children’s rooms, cocktail rooms, and in country homes or hunting lodges. Of the American prints, the most interesting are the Hudson river series by Ruth Reeves, out standing American textile design er. This field is a comparatively new one for American designers because for nearly 100 years when a scenic print was wanted, an old masterpiece was copied. Miss Reeves’ project was to choose scenes along the Hudson suitable for reproduction in fabric designs. Large floral patterns intended for a definitely modern interior are characteristic of the Austrian tex tiles in the disolav. They are the work of Vally Weiselthier. Paul Rodier, Outstanding French textile designer in woven designs, has in the exhibit a fabric suitable for upholstery because of its scale, color, texture, and weight of the material. Paul Poiret, couturier and dictator of Parisian styles, has textiles, which because of their childlike designs and exotic use of color, are better adapted to the ultra-modern interior. Besides other hangings in the exhibit, the normal arts, general arts, and interior design classes of the art school have contributed hangings. They have made use of the stencil design, air brush design, and three block design, respective ly, in the textiles. The glass cases in the art gallery contain interesting articles on tex tiles and also show the develop ment of the Indian wood block print, the Japanese batik, and Bali designs In pen and ink. Barclay Will Oppose Baker Soph Ticket Srhlotli Followers Hold Parade; Blais Men Plan Rally Dance No Juniors File Petitions For Class Officers The freshman class, only a few days ago pulling almost unani mously for Lyle Baker and his ticket, definitely split yesterday at the class meeting with the sur prise nomination of Charles Bar clay for president, running with out a ticket in opposition to the remainder of the Baker group. While the forming of the oppo sition in the yearling class yester day was the most outstanding de velopment on the all-campus po litical front, the major campaign for election of student body offi cials for next year kept steaming with a parade at noon by the backers of Schloth which sur passed a previous demonstration held by the other group Thursday. Blais’ backers plan a rally dance today on the Sigma Alpha Epsi lon tennis courts from 2:30 until 5 o'clock. Sohtclh Plan Circulated Backers of the Schloth ticket yesterday circulated handbills on the campus, in which Schloth's plans for the creation of a com mittee instead of the president to (make all appointments for ASUO committees so as to eliminate par ty patronage was presented. Tn order to accomplish this, the con stitution of the associated students would have to be amended. The group would consist of the •president, vice-president, and sec retary of the student body, a rep resentative of the inter-fraternity council, and the heads of houses, a representative of the unaffiliated men and women, the dean of men and the dean of women. Schloth’s opponents hit the plan as theoreti cally sound but practically impos sible. Statements to Come The Emerald has contacted both Blais and Schloth and asked them to submit their policies for publi cation in the next issue on Tues day morning, believing it will give students more of an opportunity to decide upon which candidate they wish to support. No new developments took place in either the sophomore or junior classes, the former lining itself be hind either the Kenneth BeLieu or Craig Finley ticket, nominated at the class meeting Thursday eve ning. Ed Labbe, president of the junior class, said last night that no candidate has submitted a pe tition to him to qualify for nom ination. Midnight tonight is the deadline for filing of such peti tions. Barclay Speaks Barclay, nominated to head the opposition in the freshman class immediately after Baker’s sup porters had submitted his candi dacy, pledged himself as running as an individual and not as a po litical combine. In his short ad dress, he emphasized that he was not backed by a strong political group and that in case he is elect ed, will work for the good of the class and will play no favorites. It has been rumored for the past two days that opposition against the Baker ticket was forming, but it was known that organization was lacking. Baker, Ticket Unopposed Barclay stated that he was run ning as an opposition to Baker to show the spirit of the freshman class in having a lively political campaign, rather than to be force fully swayed by one group. The remainder of the Baker ticket, composed of Elizabeth Turner, Beverly Burkitt, and A1 Carter, is not being opposed by Barclay. Baker, in his campaign address, emphasized that he would follow the co-chairmanship idea followed this year and would also work for the good of the class as a whole Under his plan, a sophomore com mittee would also be named to an nounce appointments. Mrs. Alice B. MacDuff, assistant dean of women, is to speak at a high school meeting in Lowell, Wednesday afternoon, April 24. She will talk on the subject of Japan. Skull and Dagger to Pledge 15 Tonight at Annual Frosh Dance Class Cards, A SCO Tickets Arc Necessary In ('.lass Elections In order to vote in the various class elections it is necessary for the voter to have hath a class card and an ASt’O card, President Joseph Kenner stated last night, as he said that it would he his duty to see that this constitutional ruling was upheld during the coining elec tions. Forestry Work For Students Is Dr. Miller’s Plan Summer Employment May Be Accessible Fred N. Miller, director of the Health Service at the University of Oregon, has been working on a plan for summer jobs in forest camps for students who need the employment. An expected appro priation from a forest bill, which iust passed congress, will make the project financially possible, he said. Mr. Miller will send letters to supervisors of individual na tional forests and suggest that they give some consideration to the project. Tuesday, in Portland, Mr. Mil ler contacted the regional forestry office in charge of the national forests in the Pacific Northwest and outlined the need of college students for summer work. Mr. Miller has been asked to find out how many students would be interested in doing this sort of work during the summer. He em phasized that it would be hard work in a camp of approximately fifty persons located in a remote area or in a high altitude where living conditions may be rather rigorous. At a meeting next Wednesday he will present a report of what he has done and outline possibilities for this work. Although the project is still ten tative, he will pass around appli cation forms which may be filled out by anyone who is interested. Reserves Thump Frosh Ballhawks In Hurling Battle ‘Bullneck’ Millard Gives Scrubs Two B ingles In a tight pitchers’ battle fea turing the stellar performance of Bob Millard, strong-armed left handed chucker from Grant high in Portland, the varsity reserves took a 3 to 1 nod over the newly organized Oregon frosh horsehid ers yesterday evening. Millard worked in super form for six innings when Gordon Connelly, semi-pro moundsman from the rose city, took the hill for a brief work out. During the six innings the scrubs whiffed at “Bullneck’s” slants for only two hits, one a dumped dinky in front of the plate and one a line single to left. Five errors, however, contributed to the score. Whipping fast ones across the rubber like he did as first-string pitcher for the Oregon State Bea vers last year, Jack Woodard, bur ly varsity right-hander, hogged most of the glory from the other varsity second-stringers, by allow ing only four safeties to the year lings, one of these was a triple by Millard. Other members of the reserves were Con Fury, regular catcher last year; Bunny Butler, first base; Dick Prouty, second base; Fddie Vail, shortstop; Walt Mason, third base; Bob Kidder, left field; and Bob Austin, an extra frosh at center. Frosh fielding is coming along in pretty good form, according to Coach Ed Kelley last night, but the hitting will demand a good deal of persistence and coaching he said. I Outstanding Freshmen Will Be Selected by Soph Honorary Dierickx Will Play Dance Motif Kept Secret For Informal Affair Tonight the fifteen most promi nent men in the freshman class will be selected at the Frosh Glee by Skull and Dagger, sophomore men’s honorary, Craig A.
