Dean Gilbert Says Time
Of Meet on Miss Curry
Eligibility Uncertain
Although James H. Gilbert, head
of the ASUO scholarship commit
tee had not up to last night re
ceived Carmen Curry's petition for
reinstatement as vice-president of
the junior class, he intimated that,
unless there was other business to
come before the group, or that the
question carries more importance
than he thinks, it would be im
possible to call an immediate meet
ing.
Miss Curry presented the peti
tion to Hazel P. Schwering, dean of
women, yesterday afternoon and
obtained • her signature, which is
necessary before taking it to Dean
Gilbert. It was expected that she
will present it to him today.
Gilbert Expresses Opinion
Asked why he thought the issue
was not important enough to war
rant a special meeting, so as to
make it possible for the third year
class to take action on prepara
tions for Junior Weekend, Dean
Gilbert replied that it was a long
time until the event, and that, af
ter all, it was not of such, great im
portance, except, possibly, to a few
juniors. At present, there is no
officer in the class eligible to make
appointments for the spring term
event, regarded by many as one of
the most important weekends of
the school year.
The judiciary committee ruled
Thursday that a special election
must be held in the event of the
denial of Miss Curry’s reqeust to
once more take office. Miss Curry
is only .05 below the necessary
average of 2 point, and in her peti
tion, she asks the scholarship
group to make her again eligible
to hold office and to succeed to the
presidency, vacated by the ineligi
bility of Kenentlj BeLieu. Her last
term average was an even 2 point
and her unofficial mid-term was
2.7. Although she has no junior
certificate, she has not, since a
junior, failed to make a 2 point
average.

sale.
Kwama accepted an invitation
for dinner in Corvallis March 6 as

Campus Sonnet
SONNET ON A FALLEN Fill
TREE ON THE OREGON
CAMPUS
"Here was a pinnacle,” the
botanist declared
“Such a thing as ages have
not seen;
“ 'Twas blasphemy the North
wind dare
Its overthrow.” "So green, so
green
Its limbs,” the raptured artist
cried,
“No deciduous beauty this, but
real,
Nor can reality have died.”
Two thousand feet of lumber,
the industrialists feel,
This most improper fall has
spoiled.
If we admit this tree is gone,”
The gardeners asked (no little
roiled)
"What will we base the land
scape on ?"
So while the workers cleared
each fragment small, „
In council sage they voted to
ignore its fall.
G. G.
Secretary’s Cry
Knocks Plaster
From Ceiling
“As I was day-dreaming out the
window yesterday, as usual,” says
Miss Thelma Nelson, secretary for
the engineering division in Deady
hall, “someone made the wish that
he would like to see the terrific
wind blow down one of the trees.”
“Just then a great big one be
hind the library fell, and I
screamed so loud the plaster fell
from the ceiling.”
The large fir that fell in the 35
mile per hour gale, which came on
quickly yesterday afternoon, is the
second tree that has fallen on the
campus since the beginning of the
year. In falling it crushed in part
of the net work that screens the
south end of the tennis court just
behind the library.
Professor Cuthbert, of the art
department, believes that trees
growing on the green lawn of the
campus that are watered artificial
ly tend to send their roots out near
the surface and are therefore not
as stable as forest trees.
Campus Speeder
Is Not Student
While no clue to the identity of
the lone, man driver of the car
which imperiled life and property
Thursday afternoon by speeding
east on Thirteenth avenue at an
estimated rate of 55 miles per
hour had been uncovered yester
day, belief was expressed by O. L.
Rhinesmith that the driver was
not a student. No such number is
registered in his office, he said.
Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law
school, narrowly escaping possible
death and injury while crossing
the street near the law school, de
manded of local police that the
driver be arrested. He obtained the
Oregon license number of the car,
a dark coupe, 202,107. The num
ber was. also secured by Mr. Rhine
smith who observed the speeder at
the intersection of Thirteenth and
University streets immediately af
ter the car whizzed by Dean Morse.
Robinson to Play Leading Role
In 'Outward Round?
By WILFRED ROADMAN
Horace W. Robinson, instructor
in dramatics, will play the leading
role in “Outward Bound,” Sutton
Vane’s sensational mystical-drama,
which Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt, di
rector, announced today will be
the next production of the Utoiver
sity theatre.
As Tom Prior, the dynamic
young wastrel whose troubled liftf
can find no relief in either drink
or death, Mr. Robinson will be
playing one of his favorite roles.
Before coming to Eugene, he
played' the same part with great
success in the Oklahoma City
University production of “Out
ward Bound.”
In addition to many leading
roles with the Oklahoma City
University players, Mr. Robinson
played prominent parts and was
made a member of the Purple
Mask, Iowa's exclusive yearly hon
orary for acting. His versatile
portrayals have included a num
ber of famous characters ranging
from the comical George in “Once
in a Lifetime” to Oswald, the trag
ic son in Ibsen’s “Ghosts.”
When “Outward Bound” opened
at the Everyman theatre in Lon
don, it became tremendously pop
ular so quickly that it was imme
diately prepared for a Broadway
presentation. The unusual merit of
“Outward Bound" as outstanding
drama made possible the casting
of such famous actors as: Leslie
Howard, Beryl Mercer, Margalo
Gillmore, Alfred Lunt. Charlotte
Granville and Dudley Diggs. Sev
eral have since become familiar to
motion picture fans. The role of
Tom Prior which Mr. Robinson is
playing in the University theatre
production of the play, was taken
by Alfred Lunt, who with his tal

Coed Political
Race Assumes
Definite Lines
McCall, Emliooit Known
Opposing Candidates
For AWS Prexv
Coed political activity assumed
more certain lines yesterday with
definite slates known for the AWS
nominations for officers, although
selections for WA'A and YWCA
posts still remained uncertain.
A general nominating assemblv
will be held next Wednesday at
which time the nominating com
mittee of all three women’s groups
presents its selection of candidates
for the various offices. Members of
the nominating group are denied
the right to make any official an
nouncement until this time. Elec
tion follows on the Tuesday after
this assembly.
AWS Candidates Told
The committee has, however,
picked its AWS candidates, and al
though unofficial, it is general
campus knowledge that Virginia
Endicott and Martha McCall will
oppose each other for the presi
dency, Helen Bartrum and Starla
Parvin for the vice-presidency,
Gayle Buchanan and Gladys Bat
tleson for secretary, Elizabeth Ann
DeBusk and Vivian Emery for
Treasurer, Martha Felsheim and
Ann Nelson for sergeant at arms,
and Laurene Brockshink unopposed
for reporter. \
Bids are out to candidates for
the WAA offices but as yet the
nominating committee has not re
ceived definite confirmation from
suggested candidates as to whether
they would run or not. Sue Mosh
berger and Frances Watzek are re
garded as the two most likely
nominees, however. YWCA possible
nominees are even more indefinite
and will probably not be known for
sure until late today or Monday.

Oregon Commonwealth Fund
* First on Pacific Coast
When the commonwealth schol
arship fund was established at
Oregon under the administration
of President Arnold Bennett Hall
in 1926, this University became the
first on the coast.to actually take
control of and direct payment of
scholarships for athletes. The
money is collected by the ASUO
and distributed through the Uni
versity comptroller.
Funds for the maintenance of
the scholarships were and are sup
plied by a state-wide canvas of
business firms and individuals for
contributions. N. Thomas Stod
dard is the present supervisor of
this drive, which is a concentrated
effort during the summer, with
minor drives during fall and winter
terms.
A pamphlet released in 1928
describing the scholarships says
that “they are not primarily for
the encouragement of scholarship
for which purpose other funds and
incentives are supplied.” However,
academic qualifications must be
met and maintained by receivers of
those scholarships.
Aiding Dr. Hall in the formation
of the plan was Dean of Men Vir
gil D. Earl, then connected with
the control of athletics. The pur
pose of the move, say those con
nected with the maintenance of
Oregon’s athletic standing, was to
relieve Eugene business men of a
duty for which they ’ received no
return and to give the University
a direct check and record of money
collected and expended.
Scholarships are given on the
coach’s recommendations to the
faculty—the faculty having the
final decision on the award.
Many of the other schools on the
coast have followed Oregon’s ex
ample and installed scholarship
systems similar to this one, facul
ty leaders who have studied and
aided in the installation of the plan
said today.
Thursday’s appeal to the- inter
fraternity council was made by
James Blais, representing N.
Thomas Stoddard, assistant grad
uate manager, who in turn repre
sents and supervises the disposal
of the commonwealth scholarship
fund. The move was approved by
the student finance committee of
the ASUO.
Student Federation

Although the Oregon Student i
Federation is acting as sponsor of
the symposium, the meeting will,
be open to all students interested.
Members of the federation are re
quested to come, according to Paul
Plank, president.
“Although the meeting Monday I
will be primarily discussion. I want
to repeat that the Student Feder-1
ation is also an action group,” said
Plank yesterday, reiterating his
statement made February 11. "As
the need arises, and as the federa
tion desires, we will adopt plans of
action in regard to pertinent ques
tions.”

5 by Tschaikowsky.
Tomorrow will mark the first
appearance of the Portland group
on the campus since 1932, and is
their fourth appearance here. At
their last appearance a capacity
crowd jammed McArthur court.
Van Hoogstraten Famous
Dr. Van Hoogstraten has won
world recognition as an orchestra
conductor during the past two dec

guest conductor by some of the
leading musical organizations of
this country and Europe. Last
summer he took his entire Port
land group to the San Diego fair,
where they added to gained na

matical chance at the division

evening to stay in the running.
Oregon has approximately the
same mathematical chance to beat
the Beavers out of second place
and must win tonight to retain
that possibility.
Teams Even for Season
The two teams have divided a
pair of clashes, Oregon winning
here a month ago and the Beavers
countering in convincing fashion at
Corvallis later. The Webfoots won
here by at 29-to-27 score in one of
the most thrilling games ever
played at McArthur court, a game
that had over 7000 fans on the
edges of their seat throughout.
Immediately following that con
test the Ducks went into their dis
asterous tailspin which has re
sulted in five losses in six starts.
Oregon State's overwhelming 49
to-23 triumph at Corvallis climaxed
Oregon’s losing streak, and the
Webfoots bounced back early thi9
week to take a game from Wash
ington State.
Oregon State Heavy Favorite
The 49-to-23 score at Corvallis,
coupled with Oregon's prolonged
slump, makes Oregon State a
heavy favorite tonight, but ob
servers believe that this may be the
logical time for the potentially
mighty Webfoots to click.
It is probable that Howard Hob
son will start Sam Liebowitz and
Chuck Patterson at forwards;
Dave Silver at center, and Ken
Purdy and Chief McLean at
guards. This combination proved
effective in the Washington State
series and should give the Beavers
a fight. Other Duck players who
may see action in McArthur
court’s 193B finale are Rollie

Library Inefficiency Charge
Upheld by Faculty
Commenting on the Emerald
criticism of the library system
charging inefficiency and lack of
cooperation in helping students ob
tain material for their University
work, Dr. S. H. Jameson, sociology
professor, said that he had found
that the library has necessary ma
terials for study, but that it does
not present it for student use.
‘‘Our department,” Dr. Jameson
said, ‘‘finds that the library has a
wealth of material in the social
sciences, but it is not made avail
able to the students, or for that
matter, to the faculty members
who do not know where to get it.”
“The trouble seems to be in the
organization of the material. Stu
dents are told that certain periodi
, cals are not available when usually
they are somewhere in the library.
"On the whole, however, I find
the library willing to secure ma
terial which is not available in its
own files,” he added.
Dr. R. C. Clark, professor of
history, had also found the library
system inefficient and poorly con
ducted.
"I feel that the Emerald’s stand
on the library system is justified,
especially as regards to the period
icals. These should always be made
available to the student and the
faculty members. If the magazines
must be bound, the work should be
done during the summer when
there is less demand for them.
"It Is the place of the library
to encourge students to study,
rather than to hinder them be
cause it lacks material.”
When asked to comment on the
Emerald attack of the library sys
tem, M. II. Douglass, librarian,
refused to comment.
“I do not care to enter into any
newspaper controversy," Mr.
Douglass said. "I do not care to he
quoted on the matter.”
