Two very capa ble looking 'state policemen called on me. As with people who have a narrow escape from death my past flashed through my mind with incredible speed. I could recall do ing nothing much beyond the pale of the law, but theen,—an EMER ALD! Ah. the cat was out of the bag. Again my scribblings were being shown to me. The old story, but this time uite different. Po licemen. not critics, sought me out! They came directly to the point. “Our force immediately investi gates any violation of the law. May we have proof of the accusa tions you made recently in this paper?” Just simple direct ques tions. As soon as the quaver had suf ficiently left my voice I told the circumstances under which the story had come, that I did not care to involve anyone in something that had been related as an anec dote and from which I had chosen to draw a moral, and that no as persions were intended cast on any particular official or branch of the state government. He said that was all he wanted to know, and offered to thoroughly investigate the matter. Upon suggesting that we just let the matter drop he readily acquiesced, and in leaving said something that prompted this column. He said, “You know, we don’t have any newspaper to get to the people the way you do. We take it on the chin for the slight est slip in the enforcement of the law, and we have no way to pre sent our side of the case until the public has already decided one way or the other. It’s a tough situation, yessir, but we're sure doing our best to enforce the law and to weed out any undesirables in our organization.” I believed him, and as he clomped down the steps, the stock of the police of Oregon went higher than I w’ould have ever thought possible. Strike Many times have people won dered what New York City would do if a fire started to rampage through its skyscrapers. Now they see at least as paralyzing if not as devastating a spectacle in the ele vator operators’ strike. Pictures (Please turn to page four) Food Class Sees Meat Display Aristocratic sirloin and lowly hamburger met on common ground Thursday evening when Walter McPherson, of Elliott’s Grocery, explained and demonstrated differ ent cuts of meat to the members of Miss Mabel A. Wood's foods preparation class in McClure hall. Beginning with a hind quarter of beef, Mr. McPherson explained where club, tenderloin, porterhouse and T-bone steaks are found. He then described the cuts of meat which come from the rump—round steak, “Pikes’ Peak’’ or heel of beef, and Hollywood steaks. From the front quarter of beef, Mr. McPherson cut a skirt steak, which, he explained, is used only for ground beef, the brisket, stand ing rib roast, prime short ribs, a shoulder arm roast, and discussed briefly the different prices and dif ferent ways of preparing the var ious cuts. Riflemen Take Seven of Ten Postal Meets Hearst Cup 5-Man Team Scores Not So Good, Says Blythe Oregon riflemen won seven out of ten postal rifle matches fired last week, said Sergeant Harvey Blythe. ROTC instructor, yester day. Points scored were 3720 in 10-man, 4-position matches, and 1380 in the 5-man, 3-position match. Scores of the Hearst Trophy match, fired this week,,were poor, according to Sergeant Blythe. Scores of the first and second teams were each 918. Kenneth Be Lieu was high man with 196, and Del Bjork was second with 192. First team members are Ken neth BeLieu, Del Bjork, John Hal verson, H. E. Olsen, and Jack Lew. Second team members are B. J. Cross, Stanley Warren, Leith Oglesby, L. Jacobsen, Lloyd Gould. The bright spot of the week, said Sergeant Blythe, was BeLieu’s score of 196, only two points un der that made by Earl Thomson, national individual champion, last year. The sergeant considers Be Lieu to be a good contender for the national individual championship. Schools fired against last week were University of Missouri, 3706: University of Iowa, 3612: Univer sity of Alabama, 3584; University of Pittsburgh, 3687; Washington University, St. Louis, 3595; Rose polytechnic school, 3488; Univer sity of Pittsburgh, 1352, in a 5 man, 3-position match; University of Florida, 3778; UCLA varsity, 3745; and UCLA RCTC team, 3743. Gamma Alpha Chi Dances March 28 ‘Fifth Avenue’ Is Motif of Women’s Ad Group for Igloo Affair “Meet Me on Fifth Avenue” will be the password for the first week end of spring term, when Gamma Alpha Chi, women’s national ad vertising honorary, presents its an nual spring dance Saturday, March 28. The dance this year will be held in McArthur court. Betty Coon and Maude Long, co chairmen for the affair, have ap nointed committees who will soon have completed arrangements. As in previous years and in ac cordance with leap year, women invite the men to the dance. Tickets, now on sale in all wo men’s living organizations, can be obtained for 99 cents. Directorate for the dance is: tickets, Irene Schaupp, Katherine Salisbury; programs, Mary Star buck, Frances Spence; models, Hannah Crossley, Toni Lucas;*dis plays, Helen Bartrum, Margery Kissling; decorations, Katherine Larson, Kathleen Duffy; orchestra, Frances Spence; patrons, Millicent Olin; publicity, Margery Kissling. Flu Attack Sends Mrs. Leighton Home Mrs. Lucia Leighton, secretary of the school of education, is re cuperating at home after an at tack of influenza. During her ab sence Catherine T. Shimanek, sen ior in education, is taking her place. rOutward Bound9 Vane's Play, Opens Spring Season University drama season for spring term will open April 10 with Sutton Vane's “Outward Bound,” which will run for two successive weekends at Guild theatre in what almost might be considered a “re quest” production. “ 'Outward Bound’ is a play to which I feel I can give an extra amount of enthusiastic and sincere direction without lessening my own personal joy in doing it,” Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt, director, says of her latest production. The comparatively small cast makes possible concentrated indi vidual training for each actor. Horace \V. Robinson, director of “Street Scene,” and Mary Bennett, experienced Eugene and Corvallis actress, will both play major roles in “Outward Bound.” An extended run of two weekends on March 10, 11 and 17, 18 will afford the student actors an oportunity for sustained performances. The cast includes Helen Campbell, Bud Winstead, Portia Booth, Virgil Garwood, Wil liam Cottrell, Dick Koken and Charles Barclay. Horace Robinson is designing the settings, which will represent the lounge of an ocean liner. Registration to Be March 23 in Igloo Material Will Be Released From Johnson Hall Due To Gym Remodeling Because of the remodeling work on the men's gym, registration ma terial will be released to all stu dents from the registrar's office in Johnson hall, Clifford Constance, assistant registrar, announced yes terday. Although material will be re leased at Johnson instead of tne men's gym. students will register at McArthur court as during for mer terms. Registration will be held or. Monday, March 23. Since space is extremely limited in the administration building part of the students are requested to defer their registration until a later hour. Danger of the extreme conges tion that might prevail is shown in the fact that last term registra tion material was given to over 800 students during the first hour, to an additional 400 during the second hour, but to only 400 dur ing the next two hours. All seniors who expect to grad uate this coming June must have an application on file in the Reg istrar’s office. If thesis has not already been filed it should be done at once. Bennett Contest Interest Grows Turnbull Asks Faculty to Put Essay Test Before Students in Classes “Interest in the contest is pick ing up," commented Prof. George Turnbull on the Philo Sherman Bennett essay contest. “I would like to ask,” he added, “that faculty members, particu larly those in social sciences and in writing departments, would pre sent the contest to their classes.” The subject of the essay, which must be 5,000 words long, is "The Place of Pressure Groups in a De mocracy.” The contest is open to any undergraduate in the Univer sity. The deadline for entries is April 15, but if there is any conditional demand for extension of time, two more weeks may be added. “The short break following win ter term examinations will make an appropriate time to complete the major part of an essay,” stated Mr. Turnbull, who is a member of the sub-committee on awards which is in charge of the contest. Prizes to winners of the contest are §35 to first place, and §10 to second place.

Contestant will be given five practice shots in each of the three positions to be fired—prone, sit ting. and standing. Everybody is invited to witness the matches, which will be held at the ROTC shack, said Thomas. “Much has been heard about the rifle team and marksmanship,’’ he said, “and this is your chance to see expert riflemen perform.” Guard May Print Dunn’s Articles “Again I See in Fancy,” written by Frederic S. Dunn, head of the classics department on the campus, may again make an appearance.

Deadline Passed For No Scruples, Humor Magazine Deadline for No Scruples, new campus humor magazine, has been reached and copy is being sent to the printer as fast as it is being edited, according to Winston Al lard, editor. No Scruples is filling a need for a purely humorous campus maga zine, long felt since the old Lemon Punch was discontinued in 1924. At that time Hammer and Coffin, national humor society, was active on the Oregon campus and was largely responsible for the success of the publication. The first issue of No Scruples will be released on the campus dur ing Junior Weekend. The maga zine will be 32 pages and will be done in two colors.

Barker said at the meeting that appointments for Junior Weekend would be made within the next two or three days, so that work could be started immediately. He, how ever, had none to announce in this morning’s Emerald, but said they would be printed in the first issue of spring term. Unofficial OK Given The judiciary committee had in dicated unofficially yesterday that it would nrobably give its nnproval to last night’s procedure. The body meets at 10 today to consider a petition asking: “Is it legal in light of the present emergency, for the jun ior class to elect a temporary chairman at its class meeting and to vote to postpone nomina tions until spring term? Could this temporary chairman make the Junior Weekend appoint ments legally?” No Dissent Approximately 30 students at tended last night’s meeting, which was held on the north steps of Vil lard hall, with ASUO Prexy James Blais presiding. The entire eve ning’s action went through with out a dissenting move. Jason Bailey made the motion to postpone nominations and elec tions. Nomination of Barker was made formally by Ken BeLieu, af ter A1 Davis had started a similar nomination earlier. Dave Lowry moved that nominations cease, and witth the assent of the group Blais declared Barker as temporary chairman and turned the meeting over to him. Another Question To cover a non-favorable deci sion by the judiciary as regards the two questions cited above, President Blais also asked in his petition: ‘‘If these steps are illegal, has the executive council (of the ASUO) the authority to make Junior Weekend appointments, in light of the current emergen cies?” Alpha Delta Sigma Pledges 4 Men Four new members were pledged to Alpha Delta Sigma, advertising honorary, at a meeting Thursday.
