OREGON DAILY EMERALD OREGON’S INDEPENDENT COLLEGE DAILY Carnival Time Tonight in Igloo With AWS VOLUME XXXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1936 NUMBER 108 Annual Carnival Offers Entertainment For All In Igloo This Evening First ruling on a candidate came yesterday from ASUO President James Blais after A1 Davis, Finley manager, had withdrawn a petition to the judiciary committee on the question of Jim Hurd's eligibility as a candidate for the vice-presi dency of the student body. The action came when it was made known that Hurd did not fill the constitutional requirements for the office. Scholastic eligibility had been passed by the office of the dean of men, but Hurd could not comply with the constitutional provision requiring that a candi date for the office of vice-presi dent must have completed seven terms of school at the University, j Hurd, a transfer from a Califor nia junior college, has finished only five terms of work since his arrival on the campus. His ineligibility called for rapid maneuvering in the Finley headquarters. Abroad last night were Finley henchmen pushing petitions which would ele vate Cece Barker, president candi date for senior man, to candidacy for vice - president. Strategists dropped Hurd into Barker’s old berth, for which the requirement is only five terms. Signatures of over fifty student body and junior class card holders last night placed Dave Morris and his accompanying ticket into the race for senior class president. Reason was that he had not made known his intentions to run for of fice before the Tuesday night dead line. Odd it will seem when pre-elec tion campaigns open to find that neither freshmen or sophomores, usually the most prolific of log rollers, will be ballyhooing their respective candidates. Harry Weston’s nomination by Harry Clifford and the second from John Olson carried Weston into the field as the only contender for the title. Both Clifford and Olson appeared as potential candi dates earlier in the week but shifts in house support left every candi date high-and-dry except Weston. ‘O’ Riflemen Place Third in Area Oregon riflemen have moved from fourth to third place among the teams in the Ninth Corps area participating in the national inter collegiate 10-man ROTC champion ship matches. They are leading U. of California by one point. Last week U. of Washington led Oregon by one point. Final results of the Ninth corps teams will not be known for about a week, said Sergeant Har vey Blythe, in charge of the shoot ing. High men this week were Ken BeLieu, 190; William Gieseke, 189; and Stanley Warren, 188. Stork Brings Baby Girl to Bousheys Mrs. Earl E. Boushey presented Mr. Boushey, assistant professor of PE, with a nine pound, three ounce baby girl Thursday night at 7:05. Said Mr. Boushey, “She looks like a real heavyweight contender, Mother and baby are doing fine. Frosh, Soph Tickets Are Uuopposed Advisory Council Set Up By Yearlings as Part Of Coalition Party Lack of opposing political fac tions at freshman and sophomore nominating meetings in Villard yesterday, unique in the annals of campus politics, brought forth a set of unopposed candidates for sophomore offices and a group of independent candidates for junior class offices. Freshman politics, muddled by the appearance of many candidates in the field earlier this week, be came' rearranged yesterday when a coalition party was formed by freshman representatives from all campus fraternities. Weston Nominated As a result Harry Weston was nominated for the office of sopho more class president by Harry Clifford. In seconding the nomina tion John Olson suggested that an advisory council made up of rep resentatives from fraternities, dor mitories and independents aid the class president in making appoint ments. The agreement came into being after political leaders had joined forces in an effort to keep ill-feeling out of politics and work for the benefit of the class as a whole. Supporting Weston on the bal lot, Jack Lochridge was nominated for treasurer, Betty Funkhouser for vice-president, and Margaret Goldsmith for secretary. Sophs Go Independent At a meeting of sophomore class members yesterday evening inde pendent candidates announced as unaffiliated with any political party entered into the ballot-box battle. General sentiment at the meeting indicated that the candi dates would go to the polls with out the usual pre-election cam paigns. Noel Benson entered the field as the lone president of the junior class when Ralph Cathey made the nominating speech. Others Enter Race Candidates nominated for the of fices of vice-president were Vivian Emery, Jeanette Charman, and Barbara Roome. Gayle Buchanan and Vivian Emery were named as candidates for secretary. Frank Cooper and Don Johnson were nominated for treasurer. In accepting the nomination for president, Benson pointed out that appointments for next year’s Jun ior Weekend program would be made on a basis of general class opinion and not as political “gravy.” Persons nominated yesterday will go before the campus elector ate April 23. Parsons, Godfrey Gone Dr. P. A. Parsons of the sociol ogy department, and George God frey of the news bureau, attended a meeting of the Oregon state planning board held in Portland, April 16.

Smedley Butler, Picturesque I Marine Officer9 to Give Inside Dope on War Racket Monday Program Will Bo Firs! Of International Week Libby to Speak Colorful “Hell-Devil” Butler, re tired major-general in the U. S. Marine Corps, will give University of Oregon students a rare treat Monday at 10 o’clock when he ex plains the inside dope on the war racket, in the first talk of "Inter national Week,” annually observed for the promotion of peace. General Butler firmly believes in the title of his address, “War Is a Racket.” He defines a racket as an undertaking whose mechanics are known to a select inside group and whose profits are di vided among these select few at the expense of the great mass of people. This he has reaffirmed continually in articles and broad casts. Butler Offers Solution The solution offered by Butler in the event of a war is to draft capital along with labor. As a re sult the munitions king would re ceive the same $30 a month as the soldier in the trenches. Thus, by destroying the element of personal gain, the chief cause in his estima tion, there would be no war. General Butler, who has been called “one of the most brilliant officers in the United States” is the recipient of two congressional medals, a distinguished service medal, half a dozen citations, as well as similar citations from for eign countries. He is the only man to be awarded the congressional medal twice. Chief ‘Devil Dog’ Beloved Butler, chief “devil dog,” is be loved throughout the marine corps for his notoriously blunt speech and apparent disregard of the “bigwigs.” In the summer of 1930 when the general was in command of the Quantico marine station on (Please turn to page jour) Cities League Sponsors Talk Two addresses on municipal problems now before citizens, city planning and vocational education for public employes, will be deliv ered during the latter part of April over radio station KOAC, it was announced here Friday by Herman Kehrli, director of the University of Oregon bureau of municipal re search.

The first, “The Economic Neces sity for City Planning,” will be delivered April 22, from 7:45 to 8:05, by Harry Freeman, technical consultant for the Portland city planning commission, and the sec ond, “Possibilities of Vocational Education for the Public Employe" will be given by O. D. Adams, state director of vocational education, one week later at the same time in the evening. UO Grad Ager Highly Praised Word reaching the campus of the University of Oregon that Chairman Buchanon of the appro priations committee of the national house of representatives recently declared that the “budget for the Tennessee Valley Authority was the most logical and best organ ized budget that has ever been presented to the committee," holds special interest for people of Ore gon. This is because the man who prepared the budget, Paul W. Ager, was formerly comptroller of the University and a graduate of this instituticfn. He served as comp troller from 1929 to 1933, when he left to become one of the officials for TVA. He is a member of Phi Sigma Kappa.

Griffing, major in the United States army and director of education for the Civilian Con servation Corps in the 9th corps area, will discuss the relationships between adult education and the federal government in a public meeting Monday, April 20, at 7:30 in the faculty room in Friendly hall. Dr. Griffing has charge of all corps educational work west of the Mississippi, and has been rated as one of the most important lead ers of adult education in the west region. The meeting is sponsored by Phi Delta Kappa, national education honorary, and is open to the public. Hunter, Dogged’ by Friends, Wins $1 Damges “Even the ladies bark at me. My friends whistle at me and ask what kind of dog biscuits I like best. It got so humiliating I couldn't even sleep well.” So testified Robert C Hunter, law school student body president in his $13,200 libel and slander suit against Rav Mize, owner of a mongrel dog which had been dubbed “Prexy Hunter” and was consequently, the source of much ribbing of Mr. Hunter. The jury of 12 students assessed Mize $1 for damages done. Upon the low-slung, sway-back of a white mongrel pup of uncer tain antecedents lay Hunter’s fate, both figuratively and literally, in this second case in the moot trial series held by the trial practice class every Thursday in. the Lane county circuit court. Counsel for the plaintiff, George B. Fedde and Alton Hakanson, tri umphantly brought the mongrel into the courtroom. “Mr. Hunter, is this the dog?” asked Attorney Fedde. “Yes,” answered Hunter with a i grimace. The dog wriggled delightedly and wagged its tail at the jury. It seems that because of a red I jacket worn by the dog, because of illness last winter, according to Mr. Mize, which had the words i “Prexy" on one side, and “Hunter” on the other in black letters, Mr. Hunter was continually dogged by ribbing remarks from his associ ates. It grieved Mr. Hunter so, that instead of remaining leisurely upon the law curb, he would scut tle to the Side between classes. He was hailed disrespectfully by whis tles. Prexy Hunter, the dog. main tained a i discreet silence through all, while Prexy Hunter, of the species homo sapiens (man, to you) too, seemed disinclined to enter discussions with his associates as (Please turn to page tivo) Co-op to Select Board Members Now Directors Nominated At Monday Meet; Annual Report to Re Made “All registered members of the University of Oregon are mem bers of the University co-operative store and as such are entitled to a voice in the selection of its board of directors,” said Manager Mar ion F.

Mr. Evans is spending the weekend in Portland consulting physicians there. “His illness is not a recent one,” said Dean Landsbury, of the school of music. “He had to give up work last fall, and suffered from ill health this winter. We hope he will be back with us next year.” Lawyers and Businessmen Battle This Afternoon The law school will sally forth this afternoon at 2 o’clock to meet their business administration op ponents at the traditional kitten ball game led, according to rumor, by their specially organized band which Dick Devers will conduct with a plumber’s friend as a baton. The band will be composed of odd instruments borrowed from the music building and the lawyers guarantee that none of the band members have had previous musi cal experience. Following close behind the band the Model T Lena of the Law School, tied together with all available string, will convey digni fied and august members of the i law school faculty to the fray. Equally rampant are the “Busi ness Adders” who are out to prove that the lawyers are just big bluffers when they predict a sure win. They point to past victories to back this up. The line up of the business men as far as could be obtained is: Bob “Over the Fence’’ Thomas, Chet “Never Miss” Rob inson, Ralf “Hard Hitter" Miller, R. A. “Right Arm” Platts, Pat “Kitten” Furry, Jim "Dizzy” Rum mel, Grant “Daffy” Fade, John “Babe” Meyer, and Avery “Home Run” Combs. With smug smiles the law school refused to reveal their line up but promised sensational surprises to the public in the form of several dark horses. They have already beaten the business adders—verb ally at least. Winners or losers the law stu dents will continue their celebra tions after the game with a dance at the Anchorage on the old mill race. Soft music, colored lights, palms, and an imported moon will all go to make the lawyers forget (Please turn to page four)
