r VOLUME XXXVIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1937 Basketball Came Is Tilth Meeting of OSC, Oregon I loop Teams NUMBER 77 The Passing Show W PA Workers Sit States’ Rights Death Elopement Law Ex Post Faeto By PAUL DEUTSCHMANN ‘Sit-Downs' Spread Sit-down strikers, dotting' the nation’s industrial centers, were hit yesterday when forces of law and order marched into the Doug las Aircraft plant in Santa Monica, California, armed with warrants to arrest the strikers. The strikers acquiesced, retreated docilely into waiting “black marias." A half dozen new disputes boiled up yesterday to increase the labor troubles affecting more than 50 firms and forcing 27,000 workers into idleness. Rorali''s Amendment Opponents of President Roose velt's court reform movement yes terday rallied around a new-born constitutional amendment made by Idaho's Senator Borah which would give the states unquestioned power to deal with economic and social questions. White House spokesmen dismis sed the move as an unacceptable alternative, regardless of its in trinsic value. The proposal would give states freer scope in enacting social and economic legislation but would relax none of the present restraints on federal action. irin nianaper suicides A pretty singer in the Emmett, Washington, church choir last night related a lurid story of kid nap from the church, a wild night ride, and hours of terror in a country lane, climaxed by her lov er's suicide. The man, a former sweetheart, had made advances toward her, but she repulsed his moves. He shot himself because he had been jilted, the girl maintained. Judge Orders Release A Federal judge in Spokane Washington yesterday discharged from the state penitentiary a man who had been sentenced under the Washington maximum sentence law for a crime he had committed before the law was enacted. The sentence was in violation to the ex post facto provision of the United States constitution, the judge averred. Warden of the prison pointed out that the ruling might affect the sentences of 125 other convicts similarly sentenced. Dog-Guide Rides Free The Washington state legisla- j ture yesterday* passed a law pro-1 viding that a blind person travel- j ing on a public conveyance may take a trained dog to lead him 1 without additional charge. The 1 law was signed by the governor. I Beauty Service At Stephens Aid To Wallflowers i By BERNADINE BOWMAN Stephens college, Columbia, Mis souri, now has a beauty consulta tion service operating under the direction of Miss Pauline Cook. The enthuiastic acceptance of the professional attention given by Pauline Cook to Stephens’ 930 girls, who daily from 8:30 to 5:30 flock in for half-hour consulta tion, has brought requests for a similar service on other campuses. I Half an hour of the cosmetic ian's expert attention and a camp-1 us wallflower becomes new and lovely. Yearly, college girls spend from $2 to $65 on cosmetics and $1 to $125 on professional hair dressing, but, according to Miss Cook, girls who follow high-pres sure advertising, their favorite movie star or Mrs. Simpson, imi tate the wrong people, when they should be trying to look like them selves. Lipstick Dr. Robert Legge, University of California physician, recently is sued a statement refuting the theory of Dr. Herman Goodman, dermatologist, that smoking men should fight cancer of the mouth by using lipstick. Dr. Legge stated that lip rouge would not be a suc cessful means of preventing can cer. “Smoking is influential in caus ing cancer. The heat from cigar ettes or the stem or a pipe is prob ably the chief cause,” Legge said. Most women have not been smoking as long as men. and therefore, accurate statistical studies to compare the number of cases of cancer between men and women, are not available to the present time, the physician stated.

Oregon’s colorful Webfoot quintet will face the Beavers of Oregon State at the Igloo tonight in a crucial northern division contest as a climax of this season’s “civil war’’ argument.

It is Ore gon's final regularly scheduled home game, and is the season’s fourth Duck-Beaver clash. Three times victors over the Orangemen in previous tilts, Coach Howard Hobson’s basketeers are gunning for their first clean sweep in history over the lads from Cor vallis. For Oregon the contest is doub ly important. Still very much in this year’s title race, they must win to keep pace with Hec Ed mundson's powerful Washington Huskies, defending champions. Beavers Plenty Tough The Orangemen, with nothing at stake, appear to be . in a good psychological spot to spill Oregon. Slats Gill’s Beavers, relegated to fourth place with but three wins in eight games, have nevertheless proven themselves a tough ball team, and they are itching for a chance to upset Oregon. That the staters are dangerous is proven by their two recent tri umphs over Washington, and the three previous “civil war” strug gles. Foxy Slats Gill has been threatening something new for to night’s game and might spring a big surprise. Both mentors are expected to start about the same lineups that opened previous clashes.

Among them are a huge old . spinning wheel and wool rack used by Buffalo Bill’s mother to make clothes for the Cody family. Flint lock rifles to be used by the “Sons of Liberty” in the play, antique flour sifter and butter mold, and an old dutch oven used by Mrs. Young’s mother for baking bread while crossing the plains are among the collection. Mr. Young is the moving spirit of the pioneer celebrations for which Eugene is famous and is the son of early Oregon pioneers.

On the other hand, if the rebels are beaten, con ditions will be back in a state of flux with Mussolini and Hitler dis trusting each other and with oppo site policies. Must Act for Peace Not only just by an emotional dislike can American's successfully attempt to stay out of war, Brown declared. It will be up to the younger generation to start acting and thinking on how to stay out. Exact costs of war and valid ar guments against it must be pre pared, he said, and then at a time of conflict, these prepared state ments would be ready. He also be lieves that it would be necessary to cut all connections with other na tions at such a time.

Campus leaders saw in the movement a strong threat to one of the basic institutions which have made the University the tradition-bound, colorful campus it is today. The YWCA was ac cused by some, it is rumored, of “selling out Oregon for mercen ary motives.” YWCA leaders when contacted at a late hour last night broke a long silence by making a state ment. "We don't want to let politics enter this movement and have been keeping it quiet, but we don’t think it’s a no pigging violation to purchase one of our green and yellow yarn dolls," Th® miniature basketball play ers will be on sale again today between 9 and 3 o’clock.

Senior Class Starts Plans On Permanent Constitution To Be Submitted to Council Orphaned by the new ASUO by-laws and without any precedent for future status, the senior class at a constitution nominating session last night took tentative steps for submitting a permanent senior con stitution to the executive council to be considered for inclusion in the by-laws. Kenneth Phillips and Walter Eschebeck were appointed by Margilee Morse, president of the class, to draft the constitution. Another action without precedent was the motion accepted by the Gamma Alpa Chi Dance Scheduled The annual Gamma Alpha Chi formal dance and style show will be held at the McArthur court March 27, it was decided at a meet ing of the group, Wednesday after noon.

'Gravy’ Appointments Practice Hit by Action Oi‘ Executive Council Dad's D a yT, Homecoming Chairmen, Rally Committee Head to Be Named By Administrative Body By LLO iTD TUPLING (Emerald News Editor) Stepping- forward to purge major student body appointments of “political gravy" the ASUO executive committee yesterday amended the newly-adopted by-laws to take appointive power away from the ASUO president and vest it in the executive committee. The amendment, which passed by a unanimous vote, gave the committee the power to appoint the chairman of the rally com mittee, Dad’s dav chairman. Homecoming chairman, student Martin to Decide'1, School Bill’s Fate 3 Poinl Plan to Commence If Governor Approves, Dr. Boyer Says "All we can hope for now is that the governor will not veto the bill,” stated Dr. C. Valentine Boyer, president of the University, last night when speaking of the $910, 000 appropriation passed by the Oregon senate Wednesday for Ore gon higher education. “If the governor signs the bill, we will begin work on the three point plan which we intend to carry out in the distribution of this allotment,” continued Dr. Boyer. A large amount of the sum will be used to make up the millage deficit which has so long been a problem to the State Board. Another proportion will go to restore the salaries and wages of the University’s professors. Because of the continued in crease in registration, another amount will be needed to take care of this phase. members of the judiciary commit tee, and students on the four coun cils of the educational activities board. This mo'fe gave them added ap pointive power to that included in the by-laws adopted last week. In the newly-enacted regulations they were empowered to appoint the yell leader, student athletic man agers, and forensic managers. Combined with the amendment, the committee now has the power to make all major student appoint ments. President Names Others Other appointments still remain in the hands of the student body president. Gilbert Schultz, student* body president, last night stamped his personal approval on the move, saying, “I think it is a fine thing, and will eliminate a great deal of political gravy. I feel this will aid greatly in making appointments according to the ability and capac ity of the individual instead of along political lines. “It adds more prestige to the executive committee, members of the associated students can feel that their activities are being guarded by their representative group,” Schultz said.

K. Moore, professor of general physlollgy, whose Development of Scientific Thought since 1500 is one of the few courses offered on this campus notable for the proper mixture of lectures and seminars, today (jives his picture of The Ideal University und what it must strive for. Other articles in this series will appear shortly.) By DR. A. R. MOORE A real university is an institution of learning with the primary emphasis on learning, not on teaching, not on “activities.” A person coming from an ideal university to this campus would nut comprehend our juvenile pre-occupation with grades. He would not understand the large number of hours spent in formal lectures, for he would be aware of the easy access of printed books and would regard much of the matter given orally in systematic lectures as a waste of time to both instructor and stu dent. To him the class hour, or better, the two hour seminar, would be devoted to discussing new phases of the subject and to clarifying and explaining knotty problems, in short, a time for thinking. You ask, why not begin doing things in the right way, the intel ligent way, here, now? Well, we have a system for faculty as well as for students. The lecture hour system as practiced here is found ed on the optimistic assumption that a professor can give ten or fourteen lectures a week and do it well. A Fluropean visitor once asked a member of the faculty at Harvard, “and how many lectures a week to you give?” “Five." “What horrible ones they must be!” Examination ‘Fever’ Our year is still further weaken ed by our practice of devoting over two weeks of it to the unhealthy fever of examinations.
