Britain Opposes Nazis
LONDON Britain tonight
seemed veering definitely toward
union with those nations openly
opposed to Germany's swift, sur
prising rearmament.
This was the situation foreseen
in competent quarters as proposed
Anglo-German naval conversations
stood "adjourned'' until after Adolf
Hitler's statement on foreign pol
icy expected May 15.
These quarters declared it was
now up to Hitler to make the next
move if he hoped to keep Great
Eritain in her role of “good neigh
bor” and "honest broker” as con
cerns the continent's troubles.
While French officials openly
voiced hopes of negotiating bilater
al air agreements with England,
Italy, and Belgium, and the au
thoritative Italian newspaper Gior
nale D’ltalia laid bare Germany’s
asserted “big navy” program for |
1935-1936, the British government
fixed its attention on Hitler's
forthcoming statement.
GOP Attacks New Deal
BOSTON — President Roose
velt’s administration was assailed
and his $4,800,000,000 work relief
program was attacked as “an out
and out attempt to buy votes” by
Republican speakers at a New
England party conference here to
day.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, for
mer governor general of the Philip
pines, president of the National
Republican club, and himself a po
tential president candidate next
year, led the attack with charges
that the work relief appropriation
will be used “for campaign pur
poses” and new deal policies are
“definitely blocking early recov
ery.”

submit the findings of federal
agents who have been at work on
the case since the little girl disap

Candidates Scramble for
Votes in Campaign;
65 Eligible
Oregon’s independent men will
meet at the Y hut tonight at 7:30
to decide the most closely con
tested election race that organiza

Donald Farr and Fred Gieseke and
their supporting tickets have fur
nished a campaign that promises
a colorful ending when the last
ballots are in.
Virgil Esteb, retiring president
of the Yeomen, last night called
for the attendance of every en
listed independent to vote. “I think
both men are capable and worthy
of the office,” Esteb said, “and X
would like to see every Yeqman
come out and express his convic
tion.”
Treasurer Uncontested
Gieseke, who has campaigned on
a reform platform has for his run
ning mates Brittain Ash seeking
the vice-presidency, Charles Pad
dock, secretary and Alvin Over
gard, treasurer.
The Farr ticket includes Ernest
Savage for vice-president, and Ray

$400,000 for
Constructions
Is Possibility
PWA Loan, 30 Percent,
Grant Necessary,
Says Manager
830,826.83 Now Available
For Student Union
By Malcolm Bauer
A student union building on the
University of Oregon campus is
a financial possibility it was re
vealed from figures released yes
terday from the business manag
er's office as the Oregon Daily
Emerald continued its campaign
for a new student activity center.
A schedule, showing the estimated
receipts and disbursements from
the $5 student building fund, shows
that, with the aid of a PWA loan
and a 30 per cent grant from the
federal government, buildings and
improvements to the extent of ap
proximately $400,000 can be con
structed on the University campus,
to be paid for by the student build
ing fee.
With the possibility of financing
such a building program, plans for
a student union, either new or as
the result of remodelling Gerlinger
or Friendly halls, last night took
on a more practicable aspect.
$5 Fee Fledged
J. O. Lindstrom, business man
ager of the University, called at
tention to the fact that at the pres
ent time, the $5 student building
fee is pledged to finance the pro
posed new infirmary and the new
library. The last payment on the
infirmary is tentatively scheduled
to be made on April 15, 1936; and
the final payment on the library
will be made March 1, 1964. An
examination of the schedule of re
ceipts from the fund and disburse
ments for the approved projects,
shows that $457,809.96 will be ac
cumulated in the building fund
March 1, 1964, without regard to
what might be earned in interest
on this amount.
The Oregon law requires that
the students’ §5 building fees are

'Heavy9 Favorites
In Queen Voting
When the sun had sunk into the
West late yesterday afternoon, and
the ballots for Junior weekend
queen had been carefully counted,
revealing the students’ choice for
the crown-wearer, two prominent
males’ names were found written
upon the ballot.
It was very carefully folded, as
if with dainty hands. Besides
checking the five women’s names
for queen, the voter added in a
scrawl at the bottom of the ballot
the names of Roland Rourke, new
ly-elected vice-president of the as
sociated students, and “Butch”
Morse, last year’s co-captain in
football, who recently returned
from an extensive trip in the Or
ient.
Appearing on the same ballot
with our heroes were Marvel Twiss,
Mary Morse, Dorothy Anne Clark,
Margaret Jean Cooper, and Elma
Giles.
Officials for the Junior weekend
were busy last night trying to ar
rive at some conclusion whereby
the two men candidates could be
made crown bearers, or fill some
other "honorary” position.
Four Ancient Russian Icons
Loaned for Museum Exhibit
A collection of four old Russian
Icons, which are the personal prop
ert|- of Mrs. Murray Warner, have
been loaned to the museum for
temporary exhibition purposes.
They were put on display in one
of the rooms on the mezzanine
floor last week for the pleasure of
the Portland art class, and will be
left up until junior weekend is
over.
These icons, which are depic
tions of biblical scenes, were paint
ed during the early part of the
seventeen hundreds by monks for
their monasteries. The monks
painted the scenes in gold and
bright colors on limewood, carry
ing out the pictures to the most
minute details.
Russian icons were used as far
back as the 13th and 14th centur
ies by the people of Russia in con
junction with their religious serv
ices. These paintings adorned the
walls of their churches and aided
the general religious inspiration.
Besides the four icons owned by
Mrs. Warner there are 12 dupli
cates of Russian icons on display
in the same room. They will re
main on exhibition only temporar

Library Has New
Bibliography Set
The old library has recently pur
chased a valuable set of bibliog
raphy books compiled by the Bib
liographical Society and published
by the Chiswick publishers of Lon
don.
Many noted writers have con
tributed to the works, which cover
an extensive and divers range of
subjects from a “Dictionary of
Booksellers and Printers” to “An
Iconography of Don Quixote.”
The rough paper, large print,
and numerous illustrations give
the books a very interesting ap
pearance which distinguishes them
from usual books of bibliographical
content.
This set is of especial value to
students doing research work.
They are at present downstairs in
the shipping room of the old libe.

Rhodes Aspirants
Will Take Exams
Earlier Next Fall
Eligibility Carries Heavy
Requirement List
Final examinations for the selec
tion of Rhodes scholars has been
set for the early part of December
instead of January, so the examin

be earlier this fall than in previous
years. Candidates to be eligible

states each. Each state committee
is empowered to nominate two
men to appear before the district
committee, and from the twelve
men so nominated the district com

Matter Not to Be Brought
Up in Regular Order
Of Business
Outcome Uncertain
Deadlock Broken by Boyer
At Last Session
With the discovery of irregu
larities in last month's vote on
compulsory ROTC, Oregon’s per
ennial military training contro
versy is due for further airing be
fore members of the University
faculty at their regular meeting
today.
From authoritative sources the
Emerald yesterday learned several
faculty members were to call for
reconsideration of the military
question and demand a revote upon
the grounds that the original ac
tion came as a result of at least
one vote illegally cast.
Expects Call for llevote
President C. V. Boyer, who cast
the deciding vote breaking the 42
42 tie at the previous session in
favor of retaining compulsory
training, said yesterday that he ex
pected the irregularities would be
thrashed out. in today’s meeting
and that proponents of the optional
feature would demand that the
resolution submitted by students
two months ago would once more
be placed before the group.
One physical education instruct
or, who admittedly does not have
a vote, balloted for maintenance of
compulsory training at last
month’s meeting. Another faculty
member, whose voting status was
in doubt at the meeting, failed to
vote. He said yesterday he desired
to have his ballot counted.
Statue Still in Doubt
Although the statue of his vote
is still in doubt, it is known that,
another faculty member of equal
ranking' did cast, a vote. The vote
which was not cast would have
favored optional military and with
the outlawing of the illegal vote
would have put the faculty on rec
ord for optional drill.
Should a revote be called today
the outcome would still be doubt
ful. Some optionalists, who were
not at last month’s meeting, will
attend today, but others favoring
compulsory drill may also be pres
ent to nullify any new balance in
favor of acceptance of the resolu
tion.
The resolution was presented to
the faculty two months ago with
the signatures of more than 500
students and the backing of num
erous Eugene civic groups. It
would recommend to the state
board of higher education that
ROTC drill at Oregon be placed
on an elective basis.
Amos Bur" Dates
Set Up One Day
Amos Burg, nationally famed
explorer, and former student of
the University, will be presented
