McGrady, assistant secretary of labor, yesterday indicated that he might withdraw his peacemaking efforts for labor disputes in other fields. Negotiation meetings schedule in various Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf Ports were called off yesterday when either workers or employers failed to show. Me Against Nine Dr. Franza Sarga, Hungarian “honor” duelist, succeeded in gash ing his third adversary's head when the pair crossed blades with a minor government official. Po lice stopped the fight before se rious injury was done. Rose Hotel Rumpus Announcement of the University of Pittsburgh as Washington’s Rose Bowl opponent yesterday, brought a storm of protest from football experts the country over. Pittsburgh’s record of one loss and one tie during the season was used as an argument that officials for the New Year’s game had picked a “weak sister” and a “set up.” Louisiana State university, con sidered a formidable opponent be fore the selection, yesterday invit ed Santa Clara university to play in the Sugar Bowl game New Year’s day in New Orleans. Barleycorn Birthday Friends and foes of old John Barleycorn stood toe-to-toe in sup port of their divergent views on the eve of the third anniversary of prohibition repeal. A spokesman for distilleries last night claimed, "prohibition repeal gave jobs to one million, brought moderation in drinking, practically eliminating racketeering groups of the dry era.” Anti-saloon heads stated, “con ( Please turn in tmne twnI LSU Thumbers Declare Coed Competition Hot Coed hitch-hikers are proving very unpopular with cadets at Louisiana university, mainly be cause they’re so popular with those who have rides to give. Through the columns of the Reveille, student paper, the male hitch-hikers have expressed their disdain for girl thumbers, because men would rather have a girl for a traveling companion while the wo men stick together when it comes to giving someone a ride. The only advantage a man has, hikers state, is that there is some thing about a uniform, which the cadets at the late Huey Long's favorite institution wear, which shortens those two miles to Baton Rouge. Dean Out-Puns Paper The Denver Clarion made a mess of Dean of Women Gladys C. Bell’s Sunday morning guest list, but the dean went them one better. Not resorting to a protest regis tered with the Clarion’s editor, the dean took the guest list, wrote the story of the event using the names of the guests in puns and sent it to the Clarion. The Clarion used it, puns or no puns. The Thing Called Swing While almost anything is pass ing for music these days under the guise that it’s “swing,” there comes from the University of Kansas a definition of swing music, ad vanced by a colored swing king whose band played at a campus affair there last night. “Swing is produced by a group of musicians who, given a musical theme, improvise around the melo- , dy and interpret the tune with rhythmatic variations and trick intonations, as they soulfully feel it,” the dusky band leader states. “Swing music is the only field where the soloist is given free rein to play a melody as he sees fit. If the syncopated patterns move the listener to rhythmatic feelings, then it swings.” EMERALD STAFF Final Emerald of this term will be published next Friday morning. Work will be resumed Thursday afternoon with beat coverage, desk assignments, and night work as usual. _* Roland Hayes Appearance Sunday at 3 Program Includes Both Negro Spirituals and Classical Airs; Wide Range Offered Lovers of good music, both Ore gon students and townspeople, are awaiting the Roland Hayes concert to be presented Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock in McArthur court.

Campus Triplets Born Thursday: Not to T CL AC A Triplets were born on the campus Thursday night but not to any members of the TCLACA. The three stork gifts are do ing nicely in spite of their sad appearance, two shades lighter than a co-ed's rouge. The moth er who is on a special vegetable diet, is well and happy. Perhaps five can’t live as cheaply as two, but the father isn’t at all con cerned, for he doesn’t have to support his family. The new arrivals are three baby rats born to a mother al bino, part of the group at the rat shack used for experimenta tion by the psychology depart ment.

Letters Bring TCLACA $59 Report o f Man Who Tried 21 Years to Live as Cheaply ‘Marriage Is Fun’ Says Organization’s President Kessler, After 3 Weeks ‘On The Chain Gang’ By HOWARD KESSLER Letters! Writes a gentleman from Indianapolis, Indiana: "Reading an account of your TCLACA would say you are right. They can . . . but not as long. If you ever get a patent on the formula please give it to the world. I tried the idea for 21 years and it ‘just ain’t.’” And signs himself "A Friend.” The gentleman obviously speaks' three weeks on the chain gang does not qualify him to refuts. But there are cases we could cite: there is a lady on the campus who states that her son and wife, 21 and 19, lived more cheaply after marriage than either one did before. So it 2an be done. We don’t want to appear dog matic, for it depends entirely on how much each of the couple were spending before marriage. A stu dent on starvation rations of course cannot keep a wife and starve more cheaply than before marriage. But this much is cer tain: two can live more cheaply after marriage than two can live separately—and how much happier ve can attest!

His Play Premier a Hit Scoring another campus drama success, Horace YV. Robinson, above, opened the comedy farce, “Goodbye Again,” at the University theater last night. Encouraged by the success of Director Ottillie Seybolt’s production, “Bury the Dead,” Robinson returned to the formal dress, eoffee-in-the-lounge premier of the city once in use here.

Wanted: the owner. The finder, James H. Gilbert, dean of the school of social sci ences, had only one comment to make: "Two can live as cheaply as one provided they do not lose too many wedding rings.” The ring was found between the new library and Condon.

EIGHTEEN IN INFIRMARY In the Infirmary Friday were Frances McCoy, Winifred Henry, Evelyn King, Mary Higgens, Mrs. Mary Wernham, Irene Heath, Hel en Lewis, Marceline Seavey, Gwen dolyn Caverhill, Peggy Hayward, Robert Duncan, Stuart Endicott, Willard Brown, Lee Allen, Bob Marquis, Douglas Parker, Jack Enders, and William Farnas. (with cigarettes and coffee) were really high moments of an al together high evening. "Goodbye Again” has that hap py faculty of not taking itself ser ious. The play’s absurd, the hus band's absurd, the plot’s absurd, but it still remains entertainment that’s easy to take. Eternal Triangle In the whole of dramatic litera ture, there are supposedly only 36 basic plots. Like the movies, “Goodbye Again” is content to let the other 3f> alone, as long as No. 1, the eternal triangle, will suffice. Kenneth Bixby, a well-meaning young author if there ever was one, tries for two hours and three acts to convince his secretary that he !s truly in love with her. But the memories of those even ings in college "under the Horace P. Mortimer Memorial Arch” have for six years lingered in the mem ory of imaginative Julia Wilson (nee Clochessy) who wants to take up a rather involved romance right where it left off when Bixby left school and went to New York to write his first book. In the mean time, Julia married another man. Boyle’s Lead Strong From the time Wallie Boyle (who plays Bixby) gets out of bed in a Cleveland hotel his troubles begin.
