As the legal order- was read to good naturedly booing strikers, John L. Lewis, C. I. O. chieftain, left Washington for Detroit, say ing, "Every moral and logical con sideration indicates a conference between the contesting parties. Af ter all, that is the only way to settle a controversy ...” While General Motors officials declared that as soon as the plants were returned to their possession the way would be clear for a ‘prompt and honorable settlement,” Senator Neely (D-WV) introduced a resolution to the senate request ing the Black lobby committee to make a conclusive investigation of the financial structure of General Motors to determine if it is prac ticable for them to establish a 30 hour week and minimum living wage standards. All Night Watch With the swollen Ohio river just five and one-half inches short of the top of the 60-foot seawall, and with indications that its crest had not yet been reached, the mayor of Cairo, 111., last night ordered the city's first all-night watch. While the total homeless during the great inundation stood at nearly 1,000,000 and the total dead (Please turn to paqe treo) End Depression With Bananas9 Says Professor By BERNADINE BOWMAN Are bananas to solve the depres sion? “There were 119,000,000 banan as eaten in the United States last year,” Dr. Montgomery, professor of economics at the University of Texas, said in a speech last week. “Now two of the industries most depressed in the past few years have been plate glass and soft coal. “If we keep foreign bananas tout, we will have to raise them here. “Glass houses to raise them in and coal to heat the houses will take all the glass and coal we can produce!” Dr. Montgomery’s comment was a satirical slip at the remedies prescribed for the depression in the last few years. Leisure’s Not Leisure How do you use your leisure? The answer, says Professor Lav rin of Nottingham university, is an index to your worth. Leisure is not, in this modern world, leisurely. And, strangely enough, many people are finding that to play is more work than work itself. Clear ly, so Professor Lavrin concludes, there is a discordant note in the sociological rhythm. Not so long ago, many people wanted leisure and couldn’t get it. Now, too many have it, and don’t want it. And, moreover, a great many people don’t really know what to do with it. And so Professor Lavrin says: “Tell me how you spend your lei sure hours, and I will tell you who you are . . Rats Like Mucilage Rats—white and brown—have aroused students of the Milwaukee State Teachers’ college and stu dents are demanding through Echo, the weekly college publica tion to know what’s going to be done about them. "Rats of the library variety much prefer the mucilage found on magazines to that found on books,” wrote an embittered stu dent. ‘'Longer and raggier than their intellectual brothers,' the field-house rats select athletic equipment. Technically minded rats, which inhabit the power house, gnaw vainly on nuts and bolts.” White rats are kept in cages in a room in the college field house for experimental purposes. The same room is used by a girls’ archery class for practice. The girls assert that the odor from the rats permeates their clothing. They signed a round robin asking for removal of the rodents.

DeCou, permanent secretary of Pi Mu Epsilon, and Kenneth Ghent, mathematics in ' structor, will also speak. f Oregon Pioneer Holds Poor Fish As Floods Abate The recent Eugene inundation must have reached a record high tide mark some time in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, for it left a fine piscatorial speci men. commonly known as a fish, stranded high and dry in the up raised hand of the Oregon Pio neer. An autopsy revealed that the body of the fine, foot-long habi tant of Oregon’s famous streams had been in a state of rigor mor tis for several hours. The very despondent droop of the fish's inert body bespoke the resignation with which he ac cept his doleful plight. His now glassy eyes still hold the helpless pleading look which might have moved some kind individual to effect his rescue had the lonely little figure been noticed soon enough. The general attitude of despair which permeates the stranded amphibian shows that he had lost all hope as his tragic end drew near. Date of Military Ball Postponed Until March 6 The Military Ball, originally planned for February 20, has been postponed until Saturday, March 6.

Answers that have been received on withdrawal blanks give vague reasons, and as there is no way of compelling the student to give an honest or constructive answer, the problem has become more confusing as time goes on. Following a visit of Dr. Malcolm MacLean from the University of Minnesota to this campus, a hope of light flickered in the hearts of our leaders for a time. Pres. Boyer Comments President C. V. Boyer, when' asked how he felt about Dr. Mac-' Lean’s plan of making the first j two years of our universities into a general course of study and in the third year, separating the stu dents into the fields of speciality in which they are best fitted, stat ed that he thought the plan a fine one but doubted if it could be made practical as the University curriculum stands now. To find a solution for the drop ping out of school, authorities have j first looked at the reasons given by withdrawing students. Out of the fifty students with drawing during the fall term of 1936, 16 gave bad health as the reason; 15, available work; nine, finances; eight, family difficulties; and two, change of schools. ‘There is no way to compel any student to give the real reason for his quitting the University on his withdrawal blank,” stated Clifford Constance, assistant registrar. “Some give no reason at all, and those who do, often do not give the real one. The majority of students leaving school, the reports show, are freshmen and sophomores who are registered in the schools of allied (Please tarn to t>aae two 1 i ~i Continued Cold, Says 4-Legged Prognosticator Because the sun shone inter mittently yesterday, six weeks more of bad weather is practic ally assured if we are to believe the popular tradition concerning the ground-hog. This bushy-tailed little animal has long been considered a weather prophet. According to tradition, on the second day of February it emerges from its winter’s hibernation to view the weather conditions. If the sun is shining and the ground-hog can see its shadow, it is a sign that spring is still six weeks off, and the wise little animal goes back to bed to escape continued bad weather. Although the value of this indication of bad weather is de nied by scientists, the tradition persists. "Marmota monax" is the sci entific name of this little rodent, which is known also as a wood chuck. It is about 15 inches long, and is distinguishable by its broad flat head, short thick legs, bushy tail, and long whis kers. Barnett Speaks Over KOAC Tonight at 7:45 James D.

I Defeat Drops Webfoots Into Second Place With Three Teams in Virtual Tie for Conference Lead NORTHERN DIVISION STANDINGS W L Pet. Washington State .5 2 .714 OREGON 6 3 .667 Washington . 5 3 .625 . Oregon State 2 5 .285 Idaho .0 5 .000 By PAT FRIZZELL (Emerald Sports Editor) A determined bunch of Washington Huskies turned on the heat in the second half at the Igloo last night and roared to a 39-to30 win over Oregon’s bitterly fighting Webfoots. The Oregon sophomores dropped from first place as the Huskies outdrove and outshot them in a reversal of Monday’s thriller. The Webfooas are now resting in second, in a nominal tie for the top with Washington State but trailing by virtue of having won and lost more games. Washington, by its win, crept into a position only half a game behind the leaders. Student.

For the last movement, the soothing strains of "Sweet Hawai ian Magic” are played and the prima donna of the law school "La McCall” will render his version of the everfamous "Nautch Dance.” La McCall has performed in the past and was not going to dance this year but because of the clam or of his public consented to do so. Never since the days of Ziegfeld has such a group of dancers been selected. The ballerinas are: Nello Giovannini, Dave Gammon, Don Kennedy, Jimmy Nicholson, Pat Fury, John Yerby .Arleigh Bent ley, Denny Breaid, Bud Robertsoxf, Frenchy LaCau, Charles Bracher Tom Blackman did not return to school this term. Bob Egge, a driving, miracle dribbling guard veteran, sparked the Husky attack that clicked in the clinches. With Chuck Wag ner out on fouls after the first 14 minutes, Egge took over entirely the task of directing the Husky of fense. First Half Close The first half was close all the way, with Oregon holding a slight advantage through a large portion of its latter stages. A free throw by Jack Gannon immediately be fore the period’s close broke a tie and gave Hec Edmundson’s reju venated crew a 20-to-l9 margin at the intermission. Oregon took a momentary ad vantage as Johnny Lewis canned a honey on the dead run to open scoring for the second session, but Zlegenfuss holed two one-handers in succession, and the Huskies, fired by Egge, were off on a spree that sent them soaring into a 14 polnt lead with 4 minutes to play. Rally Too Late The Webfoots struck with a be lated rally with the count 39 to 25 against them, but it was far too late Slim Wintermute sank a shot on Voelker's fourth foul to start the tardy comeback and Lewis fanned the flame by laying in a pass from Purdy. Purdy flipped his wrists and arched in a long one to send the 3500 specta tors into vain frenzy just before the gun. Lewis led Oregon’s scoring for a second consecutive night. He pot ted five field goals and added a foul toss for an 11-point total.
