Bank Fund Shortage
Treaty Violation
Germany Accused
By DARREL ELLIS
Argentines Cheer
Wild enthusiasm marked the
cheers of a million Argentines yes
terday as they gave Franklin D.
Roosevelt, arriving in Buenos Aires
to participate in inter-American
peace and trade conferences, the
greatest mass welcome in their na
tion's history.
Meanwhile, the state department
announced yesterday the addition
of a sixth signatory, Costa Rica,
to the reciprocal trade agreements
between the United States and
other American states. The Costa
Rican treaty will affect between
$5,000,000 and $6,000,000 in ex
ports and imports annually.
Lloyd George Speaking
David Lloyd George’s latest vol
ume of war memoirs, to be pub
lished today, hits at ex-President
Wilson and at American industry
for obstructionist tactics which
caused the delay in equipping
United States troops in France.
The stubborn psychology of
American war material manufac
turers in not accepting French and
English advice “would have been
remedied,” the book states, “if
there had been any real drive at
the head of affairs. President Wil
son was not cut out for a great
war minister.”
Embezzlement Concealed
Staid Vermont was sensationally
shocked yesterday wdth the arrest
of 68-year-old Governor Charles N.
Smith, who is also the president of
the Rutland Marble Savings bank,
for alleged concealing of an em
ployee's bank thefts amounting to
$124,000.
Arrested only a week ago, John
J. Cocklin, 42, bank’s bookkeeper
over the nine-year period from 1923
to 1933 in which the thefts were
made, in his trial testified the gov
ernor had told him the embezzle
ment would never be made public.
The grey-haired state’s executive
has been released on $6,000 bail.

San Jose State
Has First College
Police Museum\
By BERNADINE BOWMAN
A police museum, the only one
of its kind west of New York, is
to be established at San Jos’e State
college. The museum will make
the college the center of law en
forcement study in the west.
The museum, which has been ap
proved by the United State depart
ment of justice and J. Edgar
Hoover, will not only be interest
ing but invaluable in pre-employ
ment training for men in the ser
vice.
The nucleus for the collection, a
series of burglar tools, patterns of
bullets, finger prints, pictures of
accidents, windows that have been
broken by prowlers, stolen jew
elry, and other articles that have
been employed by thieves and
criminals in their operations, has
been collected by students of ■ the
polcie school and various police
departments in their raids.
Yale’s Experience Plan
Yale is introducing a new sys
tem of putting students on work
during their final two or three
years that is in their major field.
The plan is designed to encourage
a genuine mastery of some one
field of work, to stimulate system
atic thinking and to challenge in
tellectual independence.
"In contrast with the piecemeal
methods heretofore generally in '
vogub, whereby the student on I
passing a course could forthwith
forget it and leave it behind, he
must under this system integrate
effectively a considerable portion
of his final two years of college
work. The educational advantages
of this method over those at pres
ent in use are quite unequivocal," j
says President Angell of Yale in
describing the new procedure.
Note*—-Campus Colossals
Sam Goldwyn, movie producer,
recently started a campaign to in
terest 20 universities and colleges
all over the country in producing
campus movies. He first endorsed
the idea after seeing a film pro
duced at the University of Califor
nia last year. Goldwyn has already
contacted Southern California,
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford,
Ohio State, Michigan and Wiscon
sin.

Turkey Day Jinx
Haunts Student
From Honolulu
Thanksgiving vacations are
proving a jinx to Frank Hitch
cock, sophomore from Honolulu,
Hawaii. In fact, he is beginning
to wish that he could journey
home in a few short hours like
the rest of the boys.
If he could do this he would
have been spared the inconven
ience of hobbling about on
crutches for the next week or
two. But we’re getting ahead of
the story.
Last year, on the Friday fol
lowing Thanksgiving day, he
was hit by a lumber trailer on
13th Avenue. Result—fractured
skull. Last Friday, also follow
ing Thanksgiving day, he receiv
ed a badly sprained ankle while
practicing basketball.
Finding little to be thankful
for by remaining on the campus
for these Turkey Day holidays,
Frank is making plans for a
quick jump home via the Ha
waiian Clipper next year.

Hayes to Sing Sunday;
Negro Tenor Wins Fame
The career of Roland Hayes, great negro tenor who will appear
here Sunday in the second show of the ASUO concert series, has been
full of barriers.
Poverty, lack of education and opportunity, and racial prejudice,
all have combined to make his fight to the top a difficult one.
Today he is one of the outstanding singers in the world, excelling
not only in the standard English air, but the German "lied”, the
Master of Voice
ROLAND HAYES
French art song, ana his specialty
—the negro spiritual—as well. Per
haps the latter has done the most
to win him his tremendous follow
ing.
It was not in America, but in
England, that Hayes first realized 1
his talent. A recital in Boston had
furnished him with finances to go
abroad. In London he was ignored
until King George heard him and
requested that he sing before the
royal family. After this recogni
tion on the continent America soon
followed.
Now for more than a decade, Ro
land" Hayes has held undisputed
sway as one of the world’s fore
most song interpreters.
When Hayes appears at McAr
thur court Sunday at 3 p.m., it will
be his second concert in Eugene,
as he appeared here two years ago
before an enthusiastic throng.
Tickets are selling at $1.25, $1,
and 85 cents and 50 cents. They
may be obtained at the Associated
Students office.

Music School Will
Broadcast on NBC
Radio Programs to Start
In January; Hal Young
To Be Vocal Soloist
Arrangements have been made
with NBC officials in San Fran
cisco for a broadcast of a series of
programs from the University mu
sic school by private wire to Port

provide an outlet for student tal
ent and be of wide advertising val
ue, according to music school fac

Kessler Swamped With
Information Requests
From MY Times and
Press Assoeiations
Approval Is Given
Organization Founded on
Social, Economical, and
Educational Bases
By STAN HOBSON
Having achieved nationwide
recognition within a week of its
birth, the TCLACA, an organiza
tion of married students here at the
University of Oregon, promises to
spread all over the country.
Telegrams requesting photo
graphs, news, and all information
concerning the “Two Can Live As
Cheaply Association” are swamp
ing Howard Kessler, newly married
Oregon student who conceived the
idea for the society. Among the
many newspapers and newsgather
ing agencies clamoring for infor
mation are the New York Times,
the Associated Press,, and the Uni
ted Press.
The association is founded on
social, economical, and educational
bases and will organize more fully
for mutual exchange of informa
tion and ideas, cooperative living
and buying, and social life.
Boyer Approves
University authorities have given
their full approval of the plan and
have offered their cooperation. Dr.
C. Valentine Boyer, university
president, sees it as a satisfactory
social organization leading to a
more pleasant life on the campus
for those students who are mar
ried. Numerous others have noth
ing but praise for the plan.
"This is arousing much more in
terest than I ever had any idea it
would,” stated blond young Kessler.
“It is almost inconceiveablc that
such an organization has not been
formed previously on this campus
or others in the nation. It’s a ‘na
tural’ insofar as its potentialities
are concerned for contributing to
student welfare and happiness.
There are so many problems to
solve and cooperation between
married students can go far tow
ard solving them.”
No National rians Yet
No definite plans have been
made as yet for a national organ
ization, Kessler declared. “Just

Coeds Are Slipping,
Says Pi Phi Founder
Modern cocktail drinking, cigarette smoking girls don’t compare
with the standard set by the 12 girls who started Phi Beta Phi, the
frist college sorority, according to one of the two surviving founders.
This opinion was given Monday by Mrs. Inez Smith Soule, 91, Tacoma,
a founder of the chapter at Monmouth college, Illinois, in 1867.
The spry old lady, who keeps house and helps raise her grand
children’s families, decried the painted-faced, scantily dressed night
owls who now attend college.
"Why, I walked into one chap
ter house to find them gambling.
They were playing for small stakes,
it is true, but in my day, girls
would never dare to think of doing
such a thing.”
What bothered Mrs. Soule most
about modern co-eds was the re
ports she had heard that they stand
up to a bar and drink with men.
This she felt was scandalous, and
she thought the young men would
be disgusted with them. She also
felt that the modern college girl
would be beter off if they went
back to the voluminous skirts of
the Victorian era.
The matron who has weathered
the years with clear eyes and a
keen mind took a definite stand
against the practice of slapping
paint on the face. "The only time
I wore powder was when I was
married, because I thought I should
look white. But I found I was
white enough with fright, so I
didn’t keep it on.”
Donald Duck, a graduate of the
U. of Arizona, has enrolled in the
Indiana school of law. Which goes
to prove that there are some quack
lawyers.
