E; By WILLIAM THOMASON J » $ *+++******+4.*.|..f**I-l+*-MH Senator Borah is a man much deserving of sympathy. Not too long ago he passed out the hint that he was in favor of the Town send plan, but no sooner did the impression get around that he would support the scheme and the scheme in turn support him than he decided he didn’t want to grab the bull by the tail in such a way that he couldn't turn loose. He let out something about he would have to investigate very thorough ly before he went whole hog or none for the Townsenders, and while it seemed for a time that he would alienate some affections, he rode through the hail of words in fine shape. He turned the bull loose, he hadn’t gone whole hog, and to pyramid triumph on tri umph Dr. Townsend came out to present him some much deserved and needed support. All was rosy as the sky west of Newport on a balmy Sunday afternoon. I STAGE j; of the + WORLD Then things began clouding up. Congress launched one of its multi purpose investigations, this one being unusual in that it had only the purpose of proving the brains of the Townsenders a group of gold-heavy chiselers intent solely on lining their own pockets with the nickels and dimes of many hopeful pension-prayers. Judging from the fact that Mr. Clements has resigned and that Dr. Town send is easing out of his czarship it appears that there might be just a grain of truth in what the con gressmen charge. At any rate there is a sizeable segment of the public now in the position to turn sour on the plan and everything connected with it. Mr. Borah is thus left out on a limb. In New York state poor strategy was used by trying to elect dele gates to the Republican convention who were pledged to Borah, and the leonine Idahoan took a good waxing when he failed to cop any pledged delegates. Had this not been tried it is likely several Bo rah men would have gone to the convention unattached and favor able toward W.E.B. So it looks more and more like Landon is the man for the GOP, but the chances of anyone against the Roosevelt - Farley alliance seem mighty slim, or maybe I’ve been using the wrong straw-vote results. Calliope (Continued irom finite one) same house on one party line-up. Too much gravy for one house. The sophomores replied that they were not trying to distribute gravy, they wanted to put the best man into office and reflect the unanimous opinion of every house on the campus. So there it hangs. If Noel Ben son comes out at candidate for junior class president you will know that the shophomorcs still believe class offices can be filled on a non-political basis. If any other man comes out as candidate for junior class president, mark it down as another score for the Kin ley backers in their plan for equal ity of gravy distribution. A 35-pound heud of cabbage was exhibited at the annual Egham and Thorpe Agricultural associa tion show in England.

B. Faville, San Francisco architect, now on display in the Little Art gallery of the school of architecture and allied arts. All but two of the paintings are landscapes. The process used by Wagner and Faville in producing a painting is an unusual and pain staking one. First a charcoal drawing of the subject is made and then the drawing is brought into the studio and studied for its composition. Then the drawing is made on water color paper and colors are put on. Further experi ments with color are carried out as colors are added and rubbed off until the artist is satisfied. This process tends to make the colors smoother and a close inspection of the work is possible, which cannot be done in ordinary water color paintings. All their work on display is done in a low key and the color contrast is not great. The subject is appro priate to the country around San Francisco and in some the artist has picked up, although perhaps not intentionally, the foggy qual ity of the sky which is often seen around 'hat section of the country. The paintings are decorative in that the aerial perspective is sup pressed and flat and there is no atmospheric change. A few of the pictures have elab orate and interesting frames, which were made by Wagner. One, which borders a portrait, features small human figures and vivid col ors. A landscape of a sand dune, the sky, and the sea is bordered by a frame on which birds are painted they are fitted to the mood of the painting. Some architectural drawings and water colors by H. E. Hudson, a former student of the school, are also on display. Hudson is on a traveling scholarship in Europe. The drawings, done in Denmark, Sweden, and England, merit con sideration for their artistry. Bryson to Attend R. S. Bryson, field consultant of the League of Oregon Cities, is leaving Monday for eastern Oregon to attend a discussion of local problems at conferences there. Re gional conferences which he will attend are to be held in The Dafles April 21; LaGrande, April 22; and Pendleton, April 23. Oscilligraph Pictures Voice For Scientists Most of us are reasonably famil iar with the sound of our voices, but the advanced general physics class under the direction of Will V. Norris has gone even farther than that. They have assembled a machine, which has been ingeni ously named a cathode-ray oscil lograph, that shows how the sound might look if eyes could see it. One speaks, shouts, whistles, or whoops into a microphone, and presto a straight luminous line uopn a round glass screen resolves itself into a series of loops and waves that go dashing without any apparent method up and down and across the screen. Upon the manip ulation of some of the dials and buttons, of which there are six teen, by one of the two students who assembled the apparatus, they quiet down into well-behaved waves resembling anything from a stationary streak of lightning to a cross section of the waves on the mill race. These, the person in charge explains, represent the sound forms. The wavy green line is caused by electrons impinging upon a fluorescent screen, but, no matter how fascinating it may be to see one’s voice, the apparatus was constructed for the theory involved, and not that students might see how the products of their croon ing might appear. Six Late Books Donated to Libe Oswald Garrison Villard has re cently donated another book to the University library, M. H. Doug lass, librarian, said today. The ti tle of the new edition is “A Rebel War Clerk’s Diary,” written by J. B. Jones. A four-volume gift set has also been received from Lucius N. Lit tauer of New York, entitled “Se lected Works of Hyman G. Ene low.” With political issues prevailing throughout the country, a new do nation of interest is the book “The Hoover Administration” which was written by William Starr My ers and Walter H. Newton.

Sponsors Show ‘Every Niglit at Eight’ to) Show at Mayflower on Friday and Saturday Friday and Saturday of this i week the Red Cross, cooperating | with A. W. Johnson, manager of I the Mayflower and Heilig theaters, j will sponsor a moving picture show called “Every Night at Eight”, starring George Raft and Alice Faye. The movie will be held at the Mayflower theater. Proceeds from the picture will be used to meet the Lane county quota of the Red Cross for flood relief in the eastern states. Reg ular prices will be charged both evenings. This is one of the numerous schemes which the county Red Cross unit is sponsoring in order to collect funds for relief of flood victims. Last Saturday was de clared daffodil tag day at which time $50.07 was netted for the lo cal unit. University girls helped sell the daffodils which were do nated by Chase Gardens florist shop. The original quota of $750 has been made for Lane county and it has been increased 50 per cent. Miss Irene Ritchie, of the local unit, said that the new disasters will likely increase the need for relief money. Marion F. McClain, manager of the University Co-op, recently left for Seattle, Washington, where he will attend a conference of the Pa cific Coast College Bookstore asso ciation. He is expected to return to the campus this weekend. Managers from bookstores throughout the Pacific territory will be delegates to the Seattle convention.

Sixteen fair coeds , the very cream of the campus, will be auc tioned off with their attractively decorated basket containing sup per for two at intermission of the jitney dance, one of the features of the carnival. Haven’t you always wanted a date with that certain blonde ? It is really very simple, explains Viv ian Emery, chairman of the bas ket social. The highest bidder gets both girl and basket for his own. The girl has no choice in the mat ter, but must sup with the highest bidder. The names of the sixteen girls will be disclosed later but it is ru mored that a tall dark Theta is one and a blonde Chi O another. A blonde Delta Gamma, with a Kap pa Sig pin; a prominent, fair sen ior Tri Delt, a small freshman with “loads of personality" from the A.D.Pi house no doubt will he other prospects. Brunettes will not be forgotten for it is known that a poised Kap pa will be one, an attractive Alpha Chi another, and a dark-haired Pi Phi a third. With the carnival less than two weeks away, it is none too early for the men to start saving their money if they want to be one of the 16 highest bidders, Miss Em ery advises.
