Resignation Rumored
Britain’s problem of the moment,
King Edward's friendship for an
American-born divorcee, became
grave yesterday with reports from
some quarters of London that
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
and the cabinet have threatened
resignation if the monarch persists
in his associations with the for
mer Baltimore belle.
The News Chronicle, first Lon
don Daily to comment openly on
the king’s friendship, said yester
day the king could marry Mrs.
Simpson without endangering the
throne “in his capacity as Duke
of Cornwall,’’ thereby making her
position that of king's escort but
not queen of England. The paper
suggested parliamentary legisla
tion to make the arrangement pos
sible.
Kissing Strike
A report from Columbia univer
sity that U. of W. students had
organized a campus osculation
strike was insistently denied by
students at the Seattle school yes
terday. The report was branded
as “vile slander” and suggestions
made that the strike must be at
Washington State college.
WSC students were likewise sur
prised when an interviewer in-,
vaded the Pullman campus. “Do
you suppose there is any danger
that such a movement will be start
ed?” one coed asked, obviously
worried. Confronted with scientif
ic data that about a million mi
crobes change hands during a kiss,
a WSC football manager com
mented, “I don’t worry about that.
I kiss ’em so hard I kill the germs.”
ABOARD THE INDIANAPOLIS ..
Leaving behind him the echo of
tumultuous cheers from over a
million Argentines, President
Franklin D. Roosevelt sailed home
ward bound aboard the cruiser In
dianapolis yesterday.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
and a corps of United States rep
resentatives to the inter-American
peace conference remain in Buenos
Aires to carry on the goodwill
move started by the president. The
conference will get under way of

fDaily Texan9
Hires Censor
To Prune News \
By BERNADINE BOWMAN
The University of Texas is now
paying an agent $50 per month to
censor the Daily Texan. An as
sistant professor of journalism was
hired for the job.
The agent was given the po^ver
“to exclude libelous material, im
proper personal attacks, reckless
accusation, opinion not based on
fact, inaccurate statements, arti
cles on national, state, and local
political questions, indecencies,
material detrimental to good con
duct of the student body, and ma
terial prejudicial to the best in
terests of the University; and any
material in conflict with good
taste or wise editorial manage
ment.”
eA’ Students Are Meek
A psychology professor at Ore
gon State has advanced a new'
method of classifying students and
their grades. He says that “A”
students are usually meek and sub
missive and can be molded to suit
the professor’s .will, the “C” stu
dents are the independent and de
fiant type, while those averaging
“B” are a happy medium between
the two and the most successful.
U. of Ioica Has Night Club
The University of Iowa has es
tablished a university - operated
night club as the result of a peti
tion by more than 1.000 students
and a campaign by the student
newspaper. A capacity crowd of
110 couples attended the opening
of the “Silver Shadow” in the Uni
versity of Iowa’s Memorial Union.
There was dancing with soft lights
and soft drinks. Liquor is taboo.

Kessler Fleeted TCLACA
President, R. Knudsen
Secretary-Treasurer at
Initial Meetin"
Group Aims Told
Students Will Investigate
Fdueation, Cooperative,
Soeial Relationsliips
By RTTA WRIGHT
The nucleus of TCLACA, Ore
gon's matrimonial institution, was
formed last night when 28 of the
127 married students met in Al
umni hall in Gerlinger, and unani
mously elected Howard Kessler,
president, and Reinhart Kmulsen,
secretary-treasurer.
Explaining the threefold aims of
the organization as educational,
cooperative and social, Kessler
said that the first function of the
association will be to appoint cqmi
mittees to develop the group’s
ideals. In the line of education
there will be an investigation of
budgets, a propaganda committee,
a committee on proper foods and
diets, and a cultural committee.
Group Buying Planned
Under proposed cooperative
functions of the TCLACA, all com
modities would be purchased by
this group to decrease the cost of
living; similarly group living, in
apartment houses accommodating
from six to eight couples on the
pattern of the student coopera
tives now on the campus, would
be adopted. An extensive social
program is also proposed.
Dean Hazel P. Schwering ad
dressed the meeting and expressed
her approval of the organization.
She stated the difficulties that
have always been found in housing
married students and their lack of
social program. Some of her sug
gestions were that married stu
dents might advise other students
contemplating matrimony on the
practical cburses to take in prep
aration. Community projects and
an adult education program were
suggested as possibilities.
Expect OSC Affiliation
: Kessler said that plans for carry
I ing out the threefold program
r would be made during Christmas
i vacation and put into effect at the
i beginning of winter term.
The Barometer, Oregon State’s
' daily, came out with the announce
i ment of the Ti-eds, a married peo
) pie’s club, that has existed for four
i years. Kessler, when approached
- as to the affiliation of the two or
; ganizations said that an effort
■ would be made to contact the other
group.
Trend Towards A rts,
Letters, Seen by Boyer
By MYRA HULSER
The popular conception.!)? college education with its carefully mapped
courses for each major is being revamped by a trend back to arts and
letters, President C. V. Boyer, dean of Oregon’s college of arts and
letters, and other educators in this field believe.
For years students have planned their courses at one certain school
or department, believing that in order to secure employment after
graduation, a sun nut uniiteu prac
tical course must be followed.
Gradually there has been a di
vergence of students from this con
centrated soaking up of mechanical
knowledge. President Boyer de
classes. He is enthusiastic over the
changing attitude of student to
ward the purposes of college study,
as shown by increased interest in
art and letters.
In the University at this time,
six students are so enrolled, regis
tration statistics show. This major
is designed for those who do not
intend to acquire in the University
a technique or professional abil
ities that they may earn a living
but for those who merely want to
satisfy their urge for knowledge,
literature and languages.
"Professors teaching courses in
this school feel that more students
would take advantage of the new
option if they really knew about
it,” Dr. Boyer says. "It is com
paratively new phase of the Uni
i versity and I feel that there will
be a time when it will be sought
out by future students of litera
ture, philosophers, and leading men
of the literary world.”
The purpose of this new option
in higher education is two-fold,
Rudolf Ernst, professor of English,
declares. First, educators are en
deavoring to widen the basis of
education, and secondly, an at
tempt is being made to break down
lines of demarkation which depart
mentalize the study course.
For the student who is taking a
degree in arts and letters, a plan
ned course is followed from the
freshman year to graduation. Much
freedom in selection of courses is
permitted, and the bachelor of art3
degree is the ultimate reward at
graduation.
Included in the college of arts
and letters are the departments of
classics, English, Germanic and ro
mance languages. The department
of philosophy is administered joint
ly by the college of arts and let
ters and the college of social sci
ence.
