VOLUME XXXVIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1936 NUMBER 39 The Passing Show A King in Love Ginger Threatened Troops in China Albany Breach By DARREL ELLIS Eduard's Statement “March of Time” last night broadcast a report that King Ed ward VIII had stated definitely during a meeting yesterday witt Prime Minister Stanley Baldwir that he intended to marry Mis Wallis Warfield Simpson imme diately after his coronation. Popular opinion in England and British dominions, meanwhile, was split almost evenly between the stands of their king and prime minister. The Bombay Chronicle stated editorially, “the king is try ing to render a distinct service to British democracy by proposing a; its head to marry democratically and our sympathies are entirely with him.” Extortion Aired Federal department of justice men have for two weeks been guarding the life of Ginger Rog ers, screen actress, it was disclosed by the star's mother last night. Miss Rogers has received notes threatening her life if she does not paid a stipulated sum of money, it was revealed. Mrs. Rogers declined to offer further details but announced gov ernment agents were "nearly' ready to spring the trap" and had procured her promise to not make any statements. Ultimatum to Japan General Chang Chun, Chinese foreign minister, and Shigeru Ka wagoe, Japanese ambassador, held a “stormy” session in the Chinese foreign office at Nanking yester day, during which Chun issued a three-point ultimatum. The demands, coming after a re ported landing of 1,000 Japanese marines in the Chinese city of Tsingstao, were for immediate re moval of the troops, return of al legedly stolen Chinese documents, and release of Chinese officials held in Tjintao. Cavern Discovered Preliminary work on the $18, 000 Port of The Dalles oil dock was unexpectedly brought to a halt yesterday when contractors dis covered a huge underwater cavern in a basalt bluff west of the city. Divers will be sent down to ex plore the cave before work on the dock can be resumed. iD' Grade Satisfactory For the second time within only a few months, Albany collage yes terday was faced with a faculty student breach after the student newspaper criticized faculty action in decreeing that a mid-term aver age of “D” is a sufficiently high requirement for students partici pating in basketball. The Digest, campus semi-month ly publication, said in part, “It is difficult to determine just how far the faculty and administration are willing to sacrifice Albany’s aca demic standing on the altar of in tercollegiate athletics. , ll Sunshine State Hits Immitation Of'Bowl’ Title | By BERNADINE BOWMAN Californians are becoming plen ty griped at the intrusion of num erous upstart bowls, which have obviously ^copied their names from the Rose Bowl, according to the Stanford Daily. They accuse the chamber of commerces of cooking up the games in bowls primarily for the enrichment of the local merchants and only incidentally for the glorification of American youth. Texas is the most recent intrud er with its Sun Bowl game. Two other bowls of recent origin are the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans and the Orange Bowl in Miami. These are referred to in the Stan ford Daily as scabs trying to muscle into an already organized racket. It is feared that even if the Rose Bowl keeps its tradition of priority, the mass production of intersectional classics on New Year’s day is going to end up with the mythical title of intersectional champion about as hazy as the title of world's heavyweight wrest ling champin.

Oathank in the near future to determine who the speakers will be this year. These informative talks, which have been well attended in the past, will begin early next term. No Decision on By-Laws The executive council is still up in the air concerning the new by i laws. Hammond stated that they will definitely be announced at the first of the wdnter term, however. Since the new abbreviated con stitution was voted in last spring there have been no by-laws to re place the rulings in the old con stitution under which student ac tivities were governed. One important action was di vulged when President Hammond ! stated that the council is contem plating a change in the old require ment that students must attend the University seven terms before they can hold an office on execu (Please turn to page two) Economus New BA Society Head Commerce Groups Votes to Assist Lions’ Club Drive For Needy John Economus, senior in busi ness administration, was elected president of Alpha Kappa Psi, commerce professional fraternity, at a meeting held Wednesday eve ning.

Roland Hayes, Negro Tenor, To Sing Spirituals9 Classics Sunday at3inASU0 Concert The humble spiritual, the folk song of the American negro, has achieved the dignity of the authentic art song, thanks to the remark able genius of Roland Hayes, premier negro tenor, who is due here Sunday to give a concert at McArthur court, beginning at 3 o’clock. To Hayes these spirituals are more than a mere pleasing combina tion of tones, more than a clever blending of negro dialect with music. The singer has developed a high degree of perfection in reflecting LilV kJUlll UA. 1.11V uuu V11V1 *1 v>» Sings Classics Also The world-renowned singer will not confine himself to spirituals when he sings here. He has also attained mastery of the legitimate art songs of the old world—his in terpretations of Mozart, Brahms, Schubert, and DebUpsy are ex ceedingly well executed. Although he started life in Georgia as the child of humble ex slaves, Roland Hayes today is a very well-educated man. He is, among his many other talents, master of four languages—English, French, German and Italian. He can sing German with perfect in tonation, enunciation and phrasing although he does not speak the language fluently.

Wayne Morse to Attend Justice Committee Meet The governor’s committee on im provement of the administration of justice, of which Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law school, is a mem ber, will meet in Judge Lusk’s court room in Portland, Saturday, December 5. The committee hopes to arrive at definite conclusions on the rec ommendations to be embodied in the report to the governor. Sigma Delta Chi is the largest organization of its kind and is distinctive in that participation in its activities does not stop with graduation from college as do most other honorary societies. Instead, emphasis is laid on the graduate duties' and responsibilities of its members. The organization num bers between five and eight thous and active alumni members, and was organized over twenty - one years ago.

Special numbers have been arrang ed for the service. Grades, Docility Not Associated, Says Prof. Taylor “Docility may bo mistaken for brains by some professors,” said Dr. Howard Taylor of the psy chology department in answer to an OSC professor’s statement that “A" students are usually meek and submissive and can us ually be molded to suit the pro fessor’s will. “I am unaware of any statis tical evidence which would verify this statement." But Dr. Tay lor also thinks that professors have a weakness of giving those students the best grades who agree and reflect their ideas. Those students who persist in presenting their own views are not ranked so highly by most professors. "This is contradicted by the fact that in general those who win very high scholastic honors in college are those who make a name for themselves through their own thinking after they get out into the world,” Dr. Taylor went on to say. In general, high grades denote high intelligence and those of high intelligence are not noted for their meekness, he thinks. Santa Hits Town Early for Dinner Of YW Officers Santa Claus has come to town at least for members of the YWCA cabinet, sophomore com mission and frosh commission, who held their Christmas dinner party at the YW hut last night. Mass singing of well-known Christmas carols followed the dinner. An amusing forecast of 1937 spring bonnets was staged under the direction of Barry Baker, social-etiquette chairman. Janet Felt, Betty Wright, and Barry Baker sang trio arrange ments of “I Love You Truly,” and “Silent Night.” Dorothy Jordan, five-year-old “guest ar tist” from Merrick Studios, pre sented two tap dances. Anne Frederickson, disguised as a jovial, rotund old Santa, presented everyone with Christ mas gifts. The majority of gifts were donated to the Community Service group to be given to the children of the Development Hoorn when a party is given them next week. Clara Nasholm, vice-president of YWCA, was in charge of the arrangements of the party. House Serenade By Revels Chorus Planned Dec. 11 To serenade all living organiza tions is the aim of the Christmas Revels carolers Friday evening, December 11. The carolers will start their trek at 5:30 and will serenade through the dinner hour. The Campbell’! co-op has prom ised the carolers idcr 'f the car olers will serenade them first.

Super-Secretary and Boss I As secretary to a traveling author-lecturer, Helen Roberts, left above, capably handles the affairs of her errant author-boss.

TCLACA, ’Ti-eds’ Vary in Purpose Oregon Organization Will Cooperate in Buying, May Start ‘House’ In answer to a recent editorial in the Oregon State Barometer which stated in part that Oregon’s TCLACA leaders “may be a bit discouraged when they discover that they have not struck on a new idea,” Howard Kessler, TCL ACA president, yesterday replied, “We have nothing to be discour aged about we’ve received more publicity in one week than the "Ti-eds” have in four years.” The “Merry Ti-eds” of the neighboring campus is an organi zation of married students that holds frequent discussions and patties. “Seriously, though," Kessler pointed out, “the TCLACA will re semble the Corvallis club in only a few phases. Besides the inevi table parties, discussions, and oth er social activities, we intend to cooperate in buying and if our present plans go through we will establish a cooperative house.” • Wyburd Burrell and James N. Gprow have been appointed chair men of the membership and con stitution committees, respectively. At present the club is contacting potential members, and between 35 or 40 more couples are expected to join the present number. Formal Dress In Order for 'First Nighter’ Local Premier of Play, ‘Goodbye Again’ Will Open at «?:30; Set Is Designed by Robinson Tonight at 8:30! That is curtain time for the bril liant “first night" opening planned for this evening’s premier of "Goodbye Again." the Broadway comedy which Horace W. Robinson and the University Players are presenting at the Guild theater. Tonight’s opening breaks the routine of dress rehearsals all week against Mr. Robinson’s mod ernistic bedroom suite, complete with twin beds, radio, white fur niture, Venetian blinds, and round mirrors. Revives Dress Custom This play, the second of the current season, is reviving the cus tom of "dressing" for the theater, so long an accepted practice, but suffering from a lingering case (about six years old) of "depres sionmania.” The outer hall of the administration building is being converted into a theater lounge where smart "first nighters” will enjoy coffee and cigarettes be tween acts tonight "on the house." The cast which will romp through George Haight and Allan Scott's story of a “hot and both ered" young author on an involved lecture tour, will be headlined by Walden Boyle, as the literary lion, Helen Roberts, his devoted secre tary, and Marian Bauer, a "has been” girl friend who nearly breaks up the tour.

Inter fraternity Council Supports Reel Cross Drive A strong possibility that mem bers of Greek letter houses will join the American Red Cross was shown Wednesday during a meet ing of the interfraternity council.

Advertisers Get Stares, But Horse Is Real ‘Goat* -. If you saw strange sights on the campus and in the down-town district Thursday, it was all because the Alpha Delta Sigma’s pledges i were whooping it up. Guessing was in vogue as campus observers tried to satisfy them selves as to the characters portrayed by the initiates. But individually, Don Chapman was apparently, though without absolute surety, Wal lace Beery, as he appeared in “A Message to Garcia”; Carroll Auld looked like the husband in a “two can live as cheap as one club,” going on the second week; Jean Callahan appeared as if he had been in "Custer’s Last Stand”; Woodrow Truax was dressed as an Apache dancer looking for a place to dance; while Zolly Volchock, with tail coat, top hat, and peg trousers, resembled Hardy of “Lau rel and Hardy” after a three months’ diet; and last but not least was the “three-man horse,” whose only part was that of “the goat.” Caroline Hand, vivacious Pi Beta Phi, although not a pledge, was given the opportunity to ride the sandwich men’s streamline plug, but somehow, the horse didn’t approve and Miss Hand was al most lost in the fracas. The more serious business of the day was the luncheon held at the College Side. President Edward Morrow called a short meeting af ter the luncheon, and plans for the dance and initiation were dis cussed. Don Chapman and Carrol Auld were appointed on the dance committee. The dance will be the first Saturday of winter term.
