Affair; Parade Over
In Time for Dancing
At Gerlinger Hall
The annual student noise parade
will, sound off at 7 p. m. Friday at
13th and Kincaid streets. With
horns blaring, whistles tooting, si
rens screaming the parade will
wend its way downtown. This year
the rally committee has announced
the revival of the former tradition
al award to the loi\dest ^*noise
car.”
Each house is asked to prepare
a “noise car.” Saws, bells, trian
gles, kettles, drums, any noise
making contraption can be used
and placed on a trailer, trucks or
car. The rally committee does not
want houses to go to any great
eexpense but asks them to throw
together anything they have on
hand to make a racket with.
Bedlam Cars Planned
The houses will follow their re
spective “bedlam cars” in the pa
rade. The first car for each house
will carry the name of the house
and will be the car judged in the
contest for the “noisiest noise!”
Other cars in each house will fall
in line behind their contest car.
The rally committee announces
that the parade will be over in time
for students to get to the dance at
Gerlinger hall. This dance has been
scheduled as a no-date affair. The
charge will be 25 cents a person.

Turn Firemen
Emerald staff members turned

when a smouldering fire was dis
covered by Velma McIntyre, senior

burning the compo-board walls,
and had caught on some of the
timbers, when Miss McIntyre
sounded the alarm. Quick action
by staff members stopped what in
another ten minutes would have
been a blazing fire. Cause was un
determined.

Faculty to'Postpone
Military Question
Professors Await
Legislature’s Action
The faculty probably will not
consider the question of military
training today when it convenes :tn
regular monthly session, it was
learned last night. The Emerald’s
editorial plea yesterday for a
vote to clarify the issue in the
interests of impending state leg
islation, brought response from
several professors.
Interested faculty members cited
that body’s ruling which compels
a month of consideration before
new business can be voted on. Most
professors also expressed hesitan
cy, and were inclined to wait until
after the state legislature’s action
before taking a stand.
May Reach Floor
There is still a possibility that a
resolution favoring optional drill
may reach the floor today, but it
will be tabled and cannot be voted
on until the December meeting.
Meanwhile the state senate’s bill
prohibiting compulsory military
training still lay on the table. Re
ported out favorably by the educa
tion committee Monday it was im
mediately tabled in the senate
chamber and will probably not be
considered until late this week.

Funds for the Salvation Army
began rolling in yesterday as the

A1 Davis, chairman of the speak

Onthank is the faculty committee
man. All funds will be turned in
to him.

editor of the Eugene Register
Guard, will address the members

being incompatible with an under
standing of history in the making.
His speech today will explain his
theory.

Cold Spell Breaks;
Crops Damaged
A decided “break” in the cold
spell which has gripped the state
since the snowfall of last Thurs
day morning was apparent yester
day when warmer winds swooped
down upon the county, although a
sharp tang was still to be noted in
the air last night.
Considerable damage to root
crops and trees in this region has
been wrought by the frigid weath
er which saw the thermometer
twice sink to the 15 degree level.

3^
tional Fees
Law Pigeon-Holed
Public May Vole on
Question in November
Optional fees lay in the recesses
of a dark Salem cubby hole today,
following action by the house of
representatives steering committee
Tuesday, when it summarily sur
rounded with silence Senator
Burke's proposed law to make op
tional the payment of student body
fees in the state’s institutions of
higher learning.
The bill, which passed the sen
ate Monday by a 16-10 vote, found
its temporary resting place when
the house steering committee re
fused to report it out. It is prob
lematical whether or not it will
reach the floor of the lower house
this session.
Should it be lost in committee,
the optional fee proposal will go
before the electorate of the state in
November of 1936 as the result of
a^xeferendum campaign carried on
last spring when nearly 16,000
names were gleaned in a drive to
get the issue on the ballot.
Peace Clubs

As a result of the refusal, the

parade immediately after the main
