ASU to Consider Initiative Tonight Meeting for Final Say on Drill Question Is Set for Gerlinger at 7:30 A decisive answer on whether a state-wide initiative on the com pulsory military drill question will be attempted will come out of an ASU meeting at 7:30 tonight in Gerlinger, President Charles Pad dock said last night. The group is meeting with the Oregon Committee for Peace and Freedom, and any others interest ed in the drill question.

Paddock said he was unable to predict what action the group would take tonight. Water Colors Exhibit Opens A collection of water colors by Harold Wagner, ’33, and W. B. Fa ville, San Francisco architect and past president of the American In stitute of Architects, will go on display today in the Little Art gal lery of the school of architecture and allied arts.

Unusual Set Being Constructed For 'Outward Bound? One of the finest settings ever to be used on the Guild hall stage is now being constructed in the University theatre workshop under the supervision of Horace W. Rob inson, campus dramatists say. The scenery will be used for Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt’s production of ' “Outward Bound’’ which will play on the campus April 10, 11, 13 and 17. The lounge of an ocean going liner with the ship’s bar is the scene of action throughout the play. Mr. Robinson has designed a setting which is both beautiful and j believable in a realistic sense. A mellow quality accomplished through skillful selection of color scheme and contrasting furnishings is combined with a crispness of i line to create an atmosphere in- j finitely appropriate to the unusual theme of "Outward Bound.” An authentic stock of rare wines and liquors i3 being loaned the Univer sity theatre by Bell’s Basket Gro ccery to enhance the shelves back of the ship’s bar. It is at the bar that young Tom Prior, dynamic young wastrel played by Horace W. Robinson, spends most of his time trying to forget the past and avoid the fu ture. Scrubby, the ship's steward played by Bud Winstead, presides at the bar and in his kindly way tries to help the young man. It is his duty on the mystical ship which is “Outward Bound” to keep a watchful and protective eye on all the passengers. Outside the ship’s lounge all is darkness and fog.

Graphics Prof Gets C Grade On Own Quiz Eyler Brown’s class in graphics was in the turmoils of a scorching quiz. Bored by watching the distressed faces of his pupils, the prof secured a sheet of paper and proceeded to work the problems. The hour passed. The bell sounded. The stu dents placed their .papers on Ey ler’s desk. The architecture professor put the papers in a bundle finding time later to place grades upon them. One paper had no name upon it. He marked it "C.” "I’ll wait until I’ve finished the lot and then see who present had no paper,” he mused. He made such a check. All pupils were credited with a grade in his little book. The paper was still uniden tified. After a certain length of time had passed, disgusted Brown con cluded that the “C” paper was his own! Grayson Ross Sings Over KORE Tonight Grayson Ross, baritone, will sing on the Burch Shoe company’s pro gram at 7 tonight over radio sta tion KORE. Audrey Aasen will be accompanist.

Results of the Tuesday night neeting will be kept secret until ;he intermission of Frosh Glee, ■vhen the ceremony of pledging will take place. New Ceremony The pledging will not follow the usual procedure, but a new, broader program will be presented as the Glee intermission feature, A1 Carter, Skull and Dagger pres ident, said last night. Plans for the new ceremonies are being made by Lyle Baker, Ralph Cathey, and Bill Dalton. Japanese Motif Japanese decorations which are being worked out by Sam Fort, will give students a pleasant sur prise because of the authenticity and cleverness, Harry Clifford, Glee chairman, believes. Canopies usually used to transmit color into the drab interior of McArthur court will not be used for Frosh Glee. A new decoration scheme, employing a large mural and a profusion of colored streamers, Japanese lanterns, and cherry blos soms, will cover the ceiling. Inter esting scenes from Japanese life will line the wall. Dr. Jiro Harada, professor of Japanese art and culture, advised' class leaders and authenticated the plans before he left for California. He also loaned many Japanese prints, costumes, and statues to the class. Dan Flood's Il-piecce orchestra will travel from Portland" to play for the affair. The band, which received campus ovation at the Military ball last term, has added several features since their last ap pearance here.

Library Gets TSew Art9 Music Books Recently The Carnegie fund recently do nated to the University of Oregon has been partly used for the pur chase of books on music and art for the house collections, Miss Ber nice Rise, circulation librarian, said today. The entire $500 given to the University will not be used at once, but new books on these subjects will be purchased from time to time; she said.

Editor’s note: This is the brief for military training presented by Don Thomas in a' meeting of the Oregon Student Federation last Tuesday evening. In the opinion of the Emerald this piece of work by Mr. Thomas is most encouraging in that it does show a spirit to be constructive and factual in the controversy over military training. By DON THOMAS First, let us decide the issue, upon which this discussion is being made. If this is a question of war as such—let us both agree that it is futile, silly, and, to thinking people, should be prevented. Let’s do everything in our power to keep this nation out of any war, and let’s go a step further—let’s keep war out of these United States. However, let's not blind ourselves to the rest of the world, especially in view of the imperialistic tendencies of other nations, especially the aggressive and economically crowded ones who are seeking expansion and more natural resources. Let’s consider the practical aspects of the situation if we, the United States, were to lay down our arms and discard all defense. Say we assume a policy of passive resistance. HOW LONG WOULD IT BE BEFORE ANOTHER NATION WOULD SEEK OUR WEALTH AND NATURAL RESOURCES? THERE IS MORE LOOT AND PLUNDER IN THIS COUNTRY THAN IN ALL OF CHINA, MANCHURIA, MON GOLIA, AND ETHIOPIA PUT TOGETHER. HOW LONG WOULD IT BE BEFORE EVERY NATION IN THE WORLD WOULD BE SCRAMBLING AND FIGHTING EACH OTHER OVER THIS COUNTRY AND ON OUR SOIL? HOW LONG WOULD GREAT BRITIAN STAND BY WITH ITS LARGE POSSESSION TO THE NORTH (CANADA) EN DANGERED? * * » The only logical and practical answer to the above is that we must maintain some sort of a defense policy. What this is to be has not been decided. Not being a warlike nation and being naturally peace loving people, we have endeavored to keep a mili taristic class from growing in this country, which would result if we take the one of two choices open to us, namely form a large standing army of professional soldiers. The only other altern ative is one of keeipng the defense and military balance in the hands of the layman, the citizen. As a result we now have a (Please turn to parje two) Council Asks Continuance of Full ASUO Slate About $2,000 Necessary To Finance Spring's Program; 800 Out A recommendation for the con tinuance of the full spring student program accompanied by the vvarn ning that the ASUO would end the year with a large deficit unless | more cards were sold was approved by the executive council today. The dribble of funds into the cof ers of the student body had lifted the number of cards sold to nearly 800 yesterday. The sales count revealed that only one-third of the students on the campus were student body members. All efforts in the drive have failed to stimulate students to pur chase cards in any great numbers, according to Fred Colvig and Ro berta Moody. $2000 Still Needed Netting a total of around $4,000, the sales to date will finance only about two-thirds of the scheduled activity program, according to budget figures, which have already been cut greatly. More than $2,000 in addition to the sum already col lected will be necessary to give Oregon an even break financially, it is reported. If this sum is not raised, next year’s program will have to be drastically curtailed. The executive council also indi cated today that it is considering joining other coast colleges in in dorsing a plan to turf Multnomah field in Portland. Club Would Turf Field The Multnomah Athletic club has evolved a plan under which the club is to stand the initial ex pence of the work. A charge of 10 cents would be attached to ev ery ticket to football games in or der to repay the club. The report of the council’s com mittee on reorganization of the Associated Students will be re leased some time within the next month. The council has been hear ing the results of the w ork of the special committee at meetings which have been held this week. Frances Droste Funeral Friday Frances L.

Moursund, as sistant professor of mathematics, that a paper of bis, "Summation of Derived Series of the Conjugate Fourier Series" has been accepted for publication by the Duke Math ematical Journal. Eshbeck, Morris, Margilee Morse, Campbell Head List Dave Lowry Asks J For Student Plans On Canoe Fete Dave Lowry, canoe fete chair man, appealed last night to the entire student body to submit to him suggestions for this year’s event on the mill race. An award of $10 is to be given tlie student suggesting the win ning theme, it was announced by Lowry. In suggesting an idea, he said, the short* time in which it must be carried out should be borne in mind. Also to be considered, is the scene of the event on the race and the way in which it would har monize with natural surroundings. Expense should also be figured, Lowry declared. Sketches of sug gested designs for floats should be included in the paper. Lowry's helpers in planning and presenting the canoe fete, the big gest event of Junior Weekend, will be named tomorrow, he said last night. Anyone interested should contact him at once by telephon ing 1920. New Specimens Given University A piece of petrified wood which if proved to be a remnant of a se quoia tree, as it is supposed to be, will change all previous knowledge of Oregon pre-historic vegetation. This wood was found near Ash wood, Oregon and was sent to the geology department by Douglas Johnson. Two samples of platinum and iridosime from Douglas county have been sent to the department. These two metals are more valu able than gold and as Oregon is one of the chief sources, consider able interest is being shown in them. Karl Ladewig donated the specimens to the University. Some specimens of nickel ore from Nickel mountain near Rid dle, Oregon, given to the depart ment by Mr. J. H. Devone have also been placed in the display cases on the lower floor of Con . don. None In, None Out, 4 Measles, 1 Mumps There were no additions to the total of University students in the infirmary yesterday and none of the nine patients were released.

"We’ve started late,” said Ham mond, "but we're going to hit the ball hard and really put this affair over with a bang. I think we’ve got some real workers on the directorate this year. Several ideas for a better Junior Weekend have already been put forward and will be lined up this afternoon in the first directorate meeting. It is im perative that everyone on the committee be at the meeting.” President McGirr, new president of the junior class, made Ham mond goneral chairman yesterday and the organization for the affair was started immediately.

Graduate Student Has Article Published George Niemi, a graduate stu dent who will take his M.A. here in philosophy and German, recently published an article on the history of German literature in the “For eign Language Forum.” February issue. Statistics Show Students Study Even If Not Book Buyers Although students of the Uni versity of Oregon may rank ex tremely low in the purchase of books, according to the statement >f Dr. Harold J. Noble, associate professor of history, they do study. Statistics compiled by the Ameri can Library association show that Oregon students rank compara tively high in the use of library books. Of the 31 educational institu tions surveyed throughout the country, Oregon was twenty-fifth in the number of students attend ing. In the use of library books, however, the report showed that j students here were second highest j in the per student use of reserve books for home circulation, and seventh in the per student use of books from general circulation used at home. Of the students as a whole, Oregon ranks seventeenth in the home use of books and sixth in the use of reserve books. In another report of statistics of university libraries compiled in 1934 amf 1935, out of 40 institu tions of higher education studied, Oregon ranked thirty-second in the volumes in the library, and ranked twenty-ninth in the num ber of volumes added for the year. Oregon was thirty-second in the amount spent for books in that year and thirty-third in the total amount of appropriations made. The number on the staff was 24, which was thirtieth in the list; the salaries for employees ranked thirty-sixth. The colleges surveyed in both lists included schools in California, Washington, and many of the eastern states. During that year, 1934 and 1935, Oregon had 259,574 volumes in the library and added 10,690 new books during the year. The total spent was $22,646.37, and the ap propriation was $22,600. Salaries for the 24 members of the staff amounted to $32,874.
