Rally to Start
Optional ROTC
Petition Drive
16.371 Initiative Signers
Necessary to Put Bill
On Ballot '
A city-wide rally Tuesday night
will officially launch the state
wide initiative undertaken by a
conimittee of students in an at
tempt to make military training
optional at the University of Ore
gon and Oregon State college. The
rally meeting will mark the open
ing of a campaign designed to get
36.371 names to put the initiative
on the ballot in the general elec
tion November 3.
Last preliminary plans had been
laid last night, and optional lead
ers were awaiting the petitions
which have been at the printers
since Tuesday. The ballot title will
be ‘'Noncompiilsory Military Train
ing bill.” The proposed act reads:
“No student in attendance at
any of the state institutions of
higher learning in the state of
Oregon shall he compelled or re
quired to take or attend any
course or courses of military sci
ence and/or tactics or to attend
any military drill as a necessary
requirement to obtain any degree
or degrees or to be graduated
from any of said institutions.”
A total of 2,000 pledge cards
have been printed to be signed and
returned by persons wishing to
work on the initiative. The card
pledges signers to “work for an
initiative . . . ; to educate the peo
ple to the importance of the ques
tion, always by honest argument,
unimpeachable facts, and fair and
respectful treatment to all who
may oppose the initiative; and to
secure signatures for the initiative
petition.”
Petitions are expected to arrive
today, and it is hoped to have sev
eral hundred turned in before the
official opening of the campaign
Tuesday night. At the meeting be
ginning at 7:30 in the Y hut quotas
will be set up, the budget dis- j
cussed, questions and nnswers in
connection with petition-pushing j
talked over, and other campaign
business transacted.
Officers Announced
New officers announced this
week include Rev. Cecil F. Ristow
of the Methodist church, church
secretary, and S. Eugene Allen,
Grange chairman. Ristow said let-1
ters urging support of the initia
tive will be sent to all ministers
in the state. Allen plans to con
tact every grange in Oregon in an
endeavor to boost the number of
farmer signers. Lane county’s
quota will be 5,000, the greater
part of which will be solicited by
University students.

Science, Philosophy Viewpoint
Given in New Courses
"The object of these courses is
to show more clearly the relation
ship of literature to the ideas and
thought movements of the time,”
said President G. Valentine Boyer
in speaking of the two new cours
es which are to be introduced into
the literature department.
The courses, philosophic back
grounds of literature and scientific
; backgrounds of literature will be
| offered beginning with next fall
term to all students who are inter
ested in them. They are to be up
per division courses.
‘‘We are offering these courses
as presented from the point of
view of the philosopher and the
scientist in order that the student
I may learn what effect develop
ments in these fields have had on
' literature," President Boyer con
tinued. As an example of the far
reaching effect of a scientific dis
covery on literature he told of the
emphasis placed on form and style
which came as a result of New
ton's discoveries and conception of
the universe as law and order. Dar
win's theories concerning evolu
tion also had a profound effect up
on literature, he said.
President Boyer envisions a set
up in which students preparing to
enter the various professional
fields will have the opportunity to
gain an integrated view of life
since the Renaissance and of the
various currents of thought which
have motivated and influenced that
life. He believes such a background
could be given through courses
planned toward that end and in
cluding the fields of literature, his
tory, science, and philosophy.

for control “as they are in most
other schools,” he continued.
The assembled students accepted
a resolution presented by LaBarre
which would place officers elected
in executive positions next year
should the new constitution be ac
cepted at the polls on April 23.
Under the new constitution,
read- to the students by ASUO
President James Blais, only four
elective offices would be retained.
For next year only, the eight stu
dent body leaders chosen would be
given special positions.
The constitution, with the ac
cepted resolution is printed on
page four of the Emerald.
The nomination of Finley for the
office of president was officially
made by John Lewis. Finley’s
nominating speech was presented
by George Burnie, graduate stu
dent in law, whose eligibility to
nominate was questioned on the
grounds that he did not have a
student body card.
BelJeu Offers Hammond
"We must think first of the good
of the associated students," Ken
neth BeLieu said in a speech pre
senting Hammond as a presidential
nominee.
The nomination of Jim Hurd,
identified as “Oregon’s All-Ameri
can," for vice-president was made
by Frank Nash. Opposing Hurd is
Gilbert Schultz, Whose nomination
address was made by Stan Brom
berg.
For the office of secretary, Bob
Moore took the floor to nominate
Jean Stevenson and Rob Thomas
proposed that the name of Grace
Peck be added to the ballot.
Other Nominations Made
Margery Kissling a n d Pearl
Johansen were nominated for the j
office of executive woman by Ben;
.'handler and Paul Plank.
William Thomason made a brief j
nominating speech for Walter
Eschebeck, candidate for the office
if executive man on the Hammond
ticket, while Bill Marsh proposed
the name of Cecil Barker, who is
running for the same position

DU’s Pi Kaps
(Continued from pape three)
exciting contest from the SAE
nine by a'9 to 6 count in the other
feature contest of the afternoon.
Smokeball Jones turned in a good
performance on the mound for the
viAors, despite his eleven inning
win ovef the Fijis Wednesday. The
DU ballhawks started out in slam
bang fashion when Nombalais
scored on Newlands’ single in the
first inning. Silven singled New
lands to second, and both men
scored on Jones' lusty double to
left field. Beyers' single brought
Jones home, and Mclnturff’s one
bagger sent Beyers to third.
Tommy “Pelican” Briody, classy
shortstop, stepped up to the plate
and smashed a long single to cen
ter to score both Beyers and Me
Inturff. Nombalais, up for the
second time in the inning, smacked
a healthy double to bring the Peli
can across the plate with the sixth
score of the frame.
SAE Rallies in Sixth
A home run by Battling New
lands in the third, and two more
tallies in the fifth on Silven's long
triple brought the DU total to 9.
In the sixth frame, however, Jones
began to show signs of wildness,
and walked in a run. A single by
Cummings with the bases loaded
brought two more runs in for the
SAE nine. Ed Hanson poled a
double to send runs number four
and five home, and Lewis scored
on Underwood's single. Jones then
settled down and fanned the re
maining batsmen to end the game
with the DUs in a 9 to 6 lead. A
double play from Nombalais to
Newlands in the fourth inning was
one of the sweetest bits of field
ing seen so far this season.
Alpha 10, Fiji S
Hie batsmen of Alpha hall found
little difficulty in swatting the
offerings of Johnny Maeder, Fiji \
chucker, as the rejuvenated hall
men downed the Phi Gam outfit
by a 10 to 3 score. The Fiji nine,
tired from their strenuous 11 in
ning game Wednesday, and with
half of the first string absent,
played careless ball, giving little
support to Maeder. Close, Alpha
tosser, was backed up by an un
tight infield. The big inning for
the hallmen was the fifth, when
six runs were knocked home.
Delta 10, Sigma 4

Science Talk
Liquid Air Authority First
Speaker of Series; To
Be in Villard Hall
Elliott James, wl.o had charge
of the liquid air demonstartions at
the Chicago Century of Progress
Exposition, will be the speaker at
the first of the popular science
lectures for spring term to be held
in Villard hall Tuesday, April 21,
according to Dr. E. A. Caswell,
head of the physics department. ,
James, who is widely known in
his field, will present an exhibition
of the properties of liquid air,
which is unique in that it has a
boiling temperature of about 312
degrees below zero. He will also
demonstrate the behavior of dif
ferent substances at this tempera
ture at which even mercury, alcho
hol, and kerosene are frozen.
Exhibitions Interesting
The behavior of molecules at low
temperatures is illustrated when
a gong made of lead is cooled un
til it rings as if it were steel, and
beefsteak, when immersed into the
liquid becomes so brittle that upon
being strurk it shatters like glass.
AnoEier of his interesting exhibi
tions is the demonstartion of the
protection of what is known as
“vapor film,” when he pours the
liquid over his hand, and takes a
glassful into his mouth.
The lecture will be non-technical
and of interest to both those that
have little knowledge o£ science
and those interested in the physi
cal and chemical aspects of the
demonstration.

Little Art Gallery Has Display
Of Odd Wallpapers
Modern wallpapers designed by
modeern textile designers are now
on display in the Little Art gal
lery of the school of architecture
and allied arts. Miss Brownell
Frasier, associate professor of in
terior design, arranged the exhibit,
which came to the campus from
New York studios.
These wallpapers, which are in
a sense bizarre, do not conform to
the old standard conception of
wallpaper but are interesting for
their originality and their devia
tion from the conservative. They
could best be used in public loung
es, cocktail rooms, beauty salons,
and could also be used in place of
a wall - hanging as a panel for
decorative purposes.
One paper features sentences in
French, human figures, and build
ings—red and blue being the out
standing colors. Another is a map
of the “Ocean Indien,” featuring
compasses, old sailing vessels and
various islands such as “Nouvelle
Hollande,” Java and Sumatra.
Vivid colors make the wallpaper
designed for a cocktail room stand
out—glasses of all shapes, cigar
ettes, and dice also make this pa
per unusual. One paper looks like
nothing more than a child's crayon
drawings of various figures and
objects. A strikingly modernistic
wallpaper is the one which pre
sents designs in orange and silver
on a beige background.
All the wallpapers on display are
for sale. The exhibit will be up
two weeks and is open to the pub
lic at the usual hours.
