Dean Allen Leaves
Journalism
School Dean
Off to Europe
Journalist Plans Study
01' Ordinary Life, Not
War and Politics
If the hot words flying between
Premier Fianclin and Realmleader
Hitler kindle a war in Europe this
summer, University students will
not want for a penetrating interpre
tation of events, for Eric W. Allen,
dean of the school of journalism,
will be in the thick of things.
Dean Allen, accompanied by Mrs.
Allen and their son Billy, left last
weekend by motor for New York,
where they will embark April 2 for
Germany. They are taking their
automobile across with them, plan
ning to take motor trips into the
out-of-the-way places of Germany
not reached in ordinary tourist ex
cursions. They intend to establish
their headquarters in Munich.
To Study Conditions
Dean Allen declares that in his
travels through Germany he will di
rect his investigation to the lives
of the people under the Hitler re
gime, touching such phases as city
and regional planning, housing,
power distribution, poor relief, eco
nomic reconstruction, and recrea
tion, giving only passing notice to
politics and militarism.
Dean Allen has been awarded a
traveling scholarship of $1500 by
the Oberlaender Trust of the Karl
Schurz memorial, the terms of
which are general, permitting him
to study, to write, or to engage in
whatever sort of research strikes
his interest. He plans to write in

Orators to Debate
With Yale on Air
April 18 Is Set as Date for
Ethereal Clash Over NBC
Hookup
Orators of the University of Ore
gon will match words with those of
Vale university April 18 when the
two teams will clash over the Na- \
tional Broadcasting: radio chain on
the question: ‘‘Resolved: That It Is
More Fun to Be a Man Than a Wo
man.”
James E. Carroll, forensics coach,
made the announcement here fol
lowing his acceptance of a chal
lenge by E. A. Raymond of the Yale
Debating society.
Only five minutes will be allotted
each member of each team. Three
speakers will speak from each
school.
Carroll’s permission for the Ore
gon institution to use a coed speak
ei in the clash has been vetoed by I
^ale, a male institution. University |
"omen still have hopes that at least j
°he member of the fairest sex will'
he a representative, as Oregon will
uphold the negative side of the top
ic.
The time of the broadcast and the
leakers will be announced later,
Carroll said.
To Be Nazi Commentator
Dean Eric \V. Allen of the school of journalism, who left here
recently for Europe, will make an extended study of German and con
tinental problems, both political and social. A $1,500 grant from the
Oherlander fund made the trip possible. Mrs. Allen and their son Bill
are also making the trip.

Building Boom
Has No Vacation
Library Ready for Brick
Veneer; Other Work Is
Forging Ahead
University of Oregon’s building
boom continued over the vacation
and with the advent of spring and
summer, contractors are preparing
to work fast to complete the three
major buildings as soon as possi
ble.
Although the new library looks
as if it had been tarred and is
ready for the feathers, it is the
brick veneer whicli will next be
added to the building. The soaring
tower from which brick, steel, and
other materials were lowered to
the structure is now being razed.
Cement has been poured for
both the first and second floors of
the infirmary and present plans
call for the completion of the
structure before the opening of
school next fall.
Excavations for the men’s phys
ical education building has con
tinued, no concrete having yet
been poured. It was necessary to
drill several flights of solid cement
from the north side of McArthur
court before foundation work on
the new building can be concluded.
Dirt is being hauled to the low
area west of Deady and Villard to
provide a better location for future
buildings.

Dreadnaught Chorus to Shake
Gerlinger Friday
Lettcrmen’s Limp4 Opens
Social Calendar
An elephantine chorus of romping
Oregon lettermen will shake Ger
linger from foundation to rafters
with a clever little Ziegfeldian
number in Gerlinger hall, Friday,
March 27.
Behemoth first year Order of the
O letter-wearers girded dainty pan
taloons about their massive limbs
yesterday and prepared to go into
the final week of intensive high
stepping before the long-delayed
“Letter-men's Limp.” inaugural
campus dance of spring term.
Dancing Master Harry McCall
voiced his enthusiasm over the pro
gress made by the chorus in the
extended rehearsal period. “Under
the careful tutelage of the older let
termen." McCall modestly declared
last night, turning his attention
from the work of selecting feminine
candidates for a Townsend club
chorus, “the first year lassies have
developed an aesthetic finesse sel
dom seen off the legitimate stage—
in other words, they’ve got rhythm,
hotcha, and a dash of hey-hey."
But the first year men will have
their chance. “Ted Shawn” McCall
will regale the audience with the
kind of performance which used to
leave baseball fans gulping as he
capered around first base last year.
“My number, an interpretative
one, will depict rhythm scheme from
true American folk music as per
petrated and warped in our modern
deplorable jazz,” the graceful,
satchel-footed McCall announced,
making a vain effort to tuck in his
shirt tail.
“Ned Simpson's vocal selection
promises to be the high-light of a
colorful evening," he continued.
“Ned, long famed as a campus Don
Juan, has agreed to give a demon
stration of his technique of croon
ing, or as he terms it, ‘wooing with
the voice’.”
Satisfied was Fred Nowland,
chairman of the annual affair.
“Think you could run my picture,
huh?” he asked an inuiring Emer
ald reporter, showing sufficient in
terest to unwind three coils of
himself from a chair.
Comment on the chorus left him
speechless. “Colossal, stupendous,
magnificent,” he gasped and sank
back into himself, motioning toward
his two stooges, assistant chairmen,
Marcus DeLaunay and Gilbert
Schultz.
“It’s superb,” said DeLaunay,
with the dreamy light of the honest
publicity man in his eye. “An epic,”
added Schultz. “Why at only 75
cents for ducats, you’re going to be
wasting the real value of your
money if you stay away.”
Nolan came out of his frenzy of
eloquent ecstasy long enough to re
quest that all lettermen meet at
the Phi Delt house at noon Tuesday
to discuss final plans for the dance.

cates with honors privileges has

Oregon s Mighty Athletes
Answer Coaches’ Call for
Spring Term Practices
i Hobson Steps Into Reinhart’s Shoes
When Bill Reinhart, left, answered the call to George Washington
university, he left his post as baseball and basketball coach to Howard
Hobson, right, with 1935 northwest baseball champions as material

ASUO Membership Drive
Opens; Fred Colvig Heads
Sales; $10.80 Value Offered
Thirteen Baseball Games, Concerts, Track Meets,
Daily Emerald, Voting Privileges Are Features
Of Spring Term Student Program
Thirteen baseball games, six
track meets, a football game, ad
mission to the famed' Christenson
ballet, and a subscription to the
Oregon Daily Emerald—benefits
totalling $10.80, all for only $5.00.
Such are the features offered to
members of the ASUO spring term.
“The program is a knock-out,”
said James Blais, president of the
associated students. “We have had
to cut corners to make it, but if the
ASUO is going to maintain its ex
istence on an optional-fee basis we
have to get plenty of memberships,
even if we have to give double-val
ue,” he declared.
Colvig Named Chairman
Fred Colvig has been appointed
chairman in charge of the drive to
secure student body memberships.
He will name his staff later this
week.
ASUO members will be entitled
to free admission to the eight con
ference baseball games which the
varsity has scheduled to play on the
campus. Also there will be non
conference games with Willamette,
Linfield, and other schools, as well
as the two frosh games, according
to Colvig.
There will be four important
track meets on the campus this
spring: the AAU meet, and the oth
er meets in which the Oregon var
sity will encounter Washington,
Washington State, and Oregon
State college.
Ballet Featured
The Christenson ballet, coming to
the campus in April, will be one of
the outstanding events of the year,
Colvig declared. “Critics every
where have termed it one of the
most distinguishing troupes tour
ing the country this season,” he
stated.
There is one spring term event
to which a student body ticket is
the only key the conference swim
ming meet in which Oregon will
meet Washington, Washington
State. Idaho, and Oregon State col
lege. Tickets will not be sold at the
gate for this event. Only ASUO
members will be admitted, accord
ing to Colvig.
Only Ticket Holders Can Vote
“Incidentally,” declared the tic
ket sales chairman, “there is a real
advantage to student body member
ship to which a value cannot be
placed—the right to vote in the
spring elections. Of course only
student body members will be per

Social Activity Ban
Vacation Halts Influenza,
Measle Spread; Spring
Dances to Be Held
Last term’s ban on social activi
ties will not be continued during
spring term, said Dr. Fred Miller,
University physician, when called
yesterday.
As far as he was concerned, he
remarked, there is no need of fur
ther prohibition of dances and other
social functions on the campus.
The epidemic of influenza and
measles was terminated by spring
vacation which scattered students
to their homes and lowered chances
to spread contagion.
A number of sorority and frater
nity dances were canceled by Dr.
Miller’s decree last term as well as
the annual Letterman’s Limp, now
set for this coming Friday night.
Son Born Friday to
Ex-University Pair
A son was born Friday, March
20, to Mr. and Mrs. Bill Anderson,
ex-University students, at the
Pacific hospital in Eugene. Mrs.
Anderson (Lois Platt) was a Pi
Beta Phi while on the campus. The
son has been named William Drew
Anderson.
First Baseball Workout
Slated Today; Varsity
Program Begins on
Courts and Turfs
By LeROY MATTINGLY
Sharp crack of bats against,
horsehide, the ping of tennis rack
ets, the thud of cleats on drying
turf, and the sweet click of the
cleanly-hit iron shot, sounds which
have been re-echoing from field and
course and courts for the past two
weeks, are to be officially inaugur
ated as the varsity athletic pro
gram swings underway this after
noon.
Coach Howard Hobson faces the
difficult task of constructing a
team to defend the northwest gon
falon annexed by last year’s "blaze
of glory" nine without the aid of
three of the star infielders who
made the 1935 inner pasture im
pregnable.
Three Stars Lost
Joe Gordon and Ray Koch, stellar
second base combination, and Harry
McCall, limber first sacker, are lost
to the team.
Gordon and Koch are now play
ing with Joplin in the Western as
sociation, where they were sent by
the Acorns. With McCall and
Johnny Lewis, these men formed
the strongest infield combination in
the circuit last year.
Although a few enthusiastic ball
players have been taking advantage
of the brief vacation period to work
out, Coach Howard Hobson’s first
official call will bring varsity pros
pects to Anonymous field today.
"Monday morning quarterbacks”
have reversed the usual procedure
to become “Friday afternoon fore
casters” and have already chosen a
tentative, though strictly unofficial
lineup to aid Hobson in selecting his
squad.
McFadden Warming Up
The dependable Don McFadden,
who pitched Oregon to a northwest
title last year, has been limbering
up for several days and will head
the mound staff.
Cece Inman has also been float
ing them over. Inman showed his
best form of the year last summer
in games late in the season.
Hot stove leaguers were mention
ing Earl Bucknum, who has plenty
of stuff but was handicapped by
wild streaks last year, as a strong
candidate for a regular mound po
sition. With "Shoe” Gemmel lost
through graduation, Doug Keeble
and Bob Millard, up from last year's
frosh, seem likely choices to round
out a none-too-heavy staff.
Chief McLean Catching
Chief McLean, SONS transfer,
has been mentioned as a likely can
didate for the catcher’s position.
John Thomas, who caught some
good games last year until put out
with an injured finger, should be
another capable backstop this sea
son.
Pre-season pickers have cast
Johnny Lewis in the role of first
baseman, shifting him from his po
sition at third which he held regu
larly last year.
Tom McCall, elongated brother of
Harry McCall, colorful first saeker
last season, is trying out for the po
sition also.

Paul Pendarvis’ Band to Play
For Journalism Dance
Paul Pendarvis! The lid is off!
The news is out! The big band
promised the campus for the Sigma
Delta Chi Journalism Jamboree by
Dan E. Clark II, general chairman,
turns out to be the biggest Name
Band on the coast, Paul Pendarvis.
Clark announced last night that
the dance was set for McArthur
court, May 1, 1936. He said that
members of Sigma Delta Chi have
kept the wires humming for over a
week in securing Pendarvis for the
big Jamboree. No member of the
journalism fraternity would dis
close the price for the famous band
but it was rumored the figure hung
closer to $1000 than for any band
yet brought to the campus.
As Pendarvis and his music are
so well known throughout the na
tion, Clark said Sigma Delta Chi
feels they can swing the dance at
$1.50 per couple plus 15 cents gov
ernment tax. Pendarvis will bring
18 musicians with him. The entire
group will be the same that play
nightly over the national network.
The dance will be an informal af
fair, but further than this neither
the general chairman nor any mem
bers of his committee would say
anything. This furthers the suspi
