TCL AC A to Organize At Meeting Tonight; Movement Drives on \ UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1936 NUMBER 37 The Passing Show Peace Program Banker Freed Nazis’ New Laws Nine Snow Plows By DARREL ELLIS Shoulder to Shoulder Marking the dawn of a new era of closer relationships and mutual goodwill between the Americas, Franklin D. Roosevelt last night formally opened the inter-Ameri can peace conference with the'key note statement that aggression by an old world “where catastrophe impends” will find the Americas standing “shoulder to shoulder for peace. A three-fold program was out lined by the president: to make clear to “war mad” nations the Americas’ united front in cases of aggression: to lay a broad founda tion for peace by avoiding econom ic, political, and religious condi tions causing war; and to remove “suicidal” trade barriers that ob struct free exchange of goods be tween American nations. Premature Xmas Gift Jesse Owens, negro Olympic star, yesterday presented his Alabama born parents with an 11-room house, all modern, with hardwood floors, latest plumbing fixtures, and double garage. “Boy, I certainly am glad to see how happy Mom is now,” the ath lete beamed. "I’m going to buy her a couple of thousand dollars worth of furniture and make her really happy.” Owens’ earnings since his return from Germany have been upwards of $50,000. Case Dismissed The charge against Vermont's grey-haired governor, Charles M. Smith, president of the Rutland Marble Savings bank, of conceal ing a bookkeeper’s alleged thefts of $3 24,000, was dropped on mo tion of counsel today only a few hours after similar action had been taken in the cases of two other men held on the same charge. The specific charge brought against the bank president and trustees was misprison of felony, contained in the old common law. ‘Aiks9 and Pains In search of a new word having in its meaning the “horror, trag edy, and destruction of a motor car accident,” Charles M. Hayes, presi dent of the Chicago Motor club yesterday announced the invention of the word “aik.” Composed of initial letters of words most commonly associated with auto mishaps—accidents, in jured, and killed—the new word was given its first use by Hayes: “Last year the nation’s aik was well over 2,000,000.” Reich Legislation Perpetuation of Nazism and re < Please turn to Pane /rcnl Texan Professor Advises College Students To Wed By BERNADINE BOWMAN If you want to shuffle off to Mexico and not return by way of Reno, then marry one of your col lege mates. This is the advice of Dr. C. W. Hall, of the University of Texas, who says marriages among college mates turn out more happily than marriages among those who meet elsewhere, because college students usually know each other longer before marriage. This makes for happier marriages. Moral: “Think, talk, and marry your favorite college mate.” L C Tests Japanese The influence of American en vironment upon the physical char acteristics of Japanese is being tested at the University of Califor nia. Sixty American-born Japan ese students on the Los Angeles campus have volunteered for the tests, being administered by a Jap anese physician, and the associate supervisor of physical education for men. Physical prowess and body measurements are being com piled. Similar records of young men in Japan are being compiled. When the records are completed it is be lieved it will then be possible to gain some knowledge of the effect of foreign environment upon Jap anese nationals. Kansans W ork Hard More than half the men and nearly one-third of the women en rolled in the University of Kansas are wholly or partly self-support ing. A recent report shows that al though the farm continues to sup ply the largest number of students, only two of the 4,067 students en rolled plan to take up farming af ter they are graduated. , Roland Hayes, Negro Tenor, Sunday Soloist | Second Concert of Noted Singer Draws Interest Of Campus; Inspired Songs on Program When Roland Hayes, internation ally famous negrp tenor, returns for another concert at McArthur court Sunday afternoon he will be singing before an audience that may remind him of his last visit to Eugene and the University. Two years ago he was so ap plauded here by a crowd of over 4000 students and townspeople, he found it necessary to give at least one encore after each group of numbers. He has always been gen erous with encores. His renditions of negro spirituals brought forth the greatest enthu siasm while selections from Beeth oven, Schubert, and Debussy also provided genuine enjoyment. Height of Career This year, as in the past ten years during which he has ruled supreme in his field, Hayes has drawn his usual large audiences. According to reports from other cities he is presenting the most in spired music of his career, due per haps to a season of respite from strenuous touring. S. Stephenson Smith, associate professor of English, said after hearing Hayes in his last concert here: “He is still the classicist when he sings spirituals! He has transformed them into art songs; but here this classicism is rein forced by complete and sincere fi delity to the spirit of his people.” Tickets may be obtained at the ASUO office for $1.25, $1, 85 cents, and 50 cents. Xmas Carolers Meet at 7 Tonight To Select Chorus Carolers who are singing for the Christmas Revels will meet Wed nesday evening at 7 o'clock in the lounge of the Y hut. A chorus of 50 men and women singers is the aim of Glen Griffith, director. As there are not yet 50 mem bers in the chorus, all singers on the campus are urged to come to the meeting. At 8 o’clock the girls will be excused and the Yeomen glee club will practice from 8 to 9 o’clock. Hyde Making Survey Of East Oregon Cities Warren C. ‘Hyde, staff member of the League of Oregon Cities, is in eastern Oregon making admin istrative surveys of LaGrande and Baker. He will also confer with the city planning commission and the city council of Ontario regarding a zon ing ordinance for that city. He is expected to return in ten days. ‘WhatIDo Now?9 Cries Coed Dean; ; Social List Cone! i All calendars are important at times to most people, but the dean of women’s office was a scene of pandemonium, late yes terday when, after a frantic search, the most important cal endar in the whole University of Oregon was found to be miss ing. The social calendar had slipped out of sight as quietly as rain descended last night on the campus after a prolonged absence. “Someone must have accident ly picked it with with his books,” wailed Dean Schwering, a per plexed crease marring her us ually serene forehead. “But it is pertinent that it be found. Many of next term’s activities are scheduled on it." In truth, the social calendar contained all dates for future weekends and social affairs plan ned for them. Such a black mystery has not been seen since the disappear ance of Mrs. W. F. G. Thacher’s famous and priceless collection of songs. And, just as in that still unsolvable problem, al though her book was returned, the Dean of Women sincerely hopes the wayward social calen dar will be waiting upon the doorstep when the secretary ar rives some crisp December morn ing. Art Bazaar Heads Named, Plans Laid Christmas Student Work I Sale to Be December 11; Decorating Begins Committee heads for the Allied Arts’ league Christmas bazaar, to be held Friday, December 11, have been chosen. All types of work from every department of the art school will be represented among the “objects d’art" which will be on sale. Halley Johnson, graduate stu dent, will be general chairman. Others selected are: Lance Hart, faculty adviser; Robert Swan, dec orations; Ethel Johnson, refresh ments; Earl Scott, music; Rollin Boles, finance; and Lucille Davis, publicity. Plans for the decorations have been partially outlined. The paint ing of the arcade posts has al ready been done, and the commit tee hopes to start on the remainder of the work by the end of this week. There will be a Christmas tree near the weaving room, evergreen boughs in the arches, streamers, and the shrubbery will be decorated with colored lights and tinsel. Most of the decorations will be made. The bazaar, which was instituted last year as an annual celebration, is sponsored by the Allied Arts league. Proceeds go to the league and to the individual artists whose work is purchased. ‘Goodbye A gain’s’ Trio Shows Play’s Wit In Skit Radio fans had their first taste of “Goodbye Again,” the comedy hit which opens Friday night at the University theatre, when the starring trio of the play presented opening scenes over the Emerald of the Air radio program Monday evening. Wallie Boyle portrayed Kenneth Bixby, harassed young Author in the midst of a lecture tour, who would like to spend his few spare hours attending a boxing match with his charming secretary, Anne Rogers (played by Helen Roberts.) While preparing his speech to be delivered before a women’s club (Bixby is defininitely the woman's type of author) an old college flame, (played by Marian Bauer) bursts in after all these years to explain how sorry she is that she got married instead of waiting for Bixby to climb the literary ladder. Bixby is sorry too, but not be cause she got married, for it is quite some time before he can re member just who she is. Being a lecturer to women’s clubs, one has a hard time remembering a face, in fact any face, at least so he says. When Jiis secretary pops in the situation becomes more involved, | that is, for Bixby, because Julia | (the college flame) is the clinging - (Please turn to page two) Dean Ontliank to Attend NYA Conference in Utah Karl W.

Byrne, secre tary of the state board of higher education, said yesterday. A building committee from the state board is scheduled to inspect the new gym the weekend of De cember 13. If the committee finds the building satisfactory, the state board will officially accept the building as an addition to the Uni versity of Oregon and will permit occupation starting the first of winter term. May Be Alterations Possible alterations or additions suggested by the inspecting com mittee make the date set for open ing not an absolute certainty. The new gym, as well as the new libe and the present heating plant improvement, is a federal govern ment project being sponsored through the PWA. The govern ment is paying 45 per cent of the total cost. The new gym was b.uilt on a more modern plan than McArthur court in that each activity will have its own room or court.

For the rest of this week, until the Emerald stops publi cation for the term, there will be no one in there “slugging" those pithy cartoons depicting campus life which have been al most a daily feature on the edi torial page. “Horace,” unknown to the many who have laughed at his portrayals of the antics of Joe College, was a dual personality. Two youthful artists. Bob Col vig and Jack Boyl, combined to produce the illustrations which bore his signature. However, both are leaving school, and, un til someone can be found to take their places, “Horace" must re main dormant. Colvig has gone to Spokane where he has a position as an nouncer in radio station KGA. Boyl is to be employed in his home town, Medford.

Two Can Live Candidates5 Grade Point Averages Top All-University Decisively Married Students Have 2.90 GPA, Lead By .46 Point; ‘Before, After’ Marks to Be Compiled; Meeting; at 7:30 Keys on a computing machine in the registrar's office yesterday afternoon sang a song of triumph for married students on the Uni versity campus, whose organization into the Two Can Live as Cheaply association will get under way tonight at 7:30 in Gerlinger alumni hall. Figures proved that married students rank higher scholastically than those who are single, and they did it decisively. The all-University grade point average for the year 1935-36 was 2.44. The all-married students’ average was 2.90, the margin of victory being .46 of a grade point. For the purposes of the survey, the 134 married' studeifts were di vided' into male and female clas sifications, and then subdivided into three additional sections each. Women Rate High In the first class, that for spec ial, law school, graduate and audit ing students, the 26 women in cluded attained the peak of 3.42 points, while the 41 men rated 3.04. The remainder of the married students were divided into those above and those below the age of 25 years. Men who had entered the estate of matrimony and were under 25 years during 1935-36 numbered 27 and had a GPA of 2.75, the lowest registered for the groups, but still far ahead of the University aver age. Aged Score Higher Matrons under 25, of whom there were 16, boasted an average of 2.85, and those over 25, with an enrollment of 9, had a 2.80 GPA. The 15 benedicts who had passed the 25th milestone reached 2.85 in their averages.

Say Home Econ Heads By RITA WRIGHT "Love in Bloom" may flourish on the campus if TCLACA proves to be a permanent campus institution. Howard Kessler has given hope to those contemplating holy matrimony and it is no longer necessary I for students to dwell gloomily on those four long years. To future would-be members of TCLACA, investigations made in the home economics department have found that two cannot live more cheaply than one but that i two can live "cheaper than two.” Using the kitchen as first-stop, j a statement obtained from Mrs. j Emmajean Peterson, acting head of the home economics department, i was, “Being ‘Mr.’ and ‘Mrs.’ in col | lege has my approval, although I think this ‘Two Can Live As | Cheaply As One’ is somewhat mis i leading. My experience has been that two can live as cheaply as two. But if two young people are definitely sure they want to live the rest of their lives with each other and each is well-fitted to meet the problems of marriage, I see many advantages in waiting.

Ripley was to have been the bonus attraction for holders of student activity books.
