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manager, had withdrawn a petition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.

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,

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

Kehrli, director of the University
of Oregon bureau of municipal re
search. The two will be presented
as part of the program sponsored
by the bureau and the League of
Oregon Cities.

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

Sigma Kappa.

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

Evans Resigns
Gleemen Work
John Stark Evans, for many
years instructor in the Oregon
school of music, conductor of the
Eugene Gleemen, has been forced
to retire because of ill health. 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
