Uphold Decision A two-time winner in the sup reme court was the government's 1933 resolution prohibiting pay ment of obligations in gold as ap plied to contracts for bullion as well as coin. The gold legislation was upheld by a 5 to 4 decision.

The measure was introduced in the legislature after the marriage of a 14-year-old Seattle white girl to a 38-year-old negro. Western Man Is Slow; Rejected By T, Peckham By BERNADINE BOWMAN “Western men are not fast enough. They either like to stay home by the fireside or go out in the back yard and spin a rope.” That is why Ted Peckham who established an escort bureau in New York last year will not use UCLA and USC men for the branch which he will establish in Los Angeles, according to the Cali fornia Daily Bruin. The “brawny Western” man is passe with women, according to Peckham. What women on the coast want is a smoothie in con trast to the Westerner. Only Princeton, Harvard, Yale and Stanford men will be used—and of them only those who are in the social register. A Night at the Opera Two USC students recently stag ed an act at the opera which stole Hollywood theater ballyhoo.

Games Friday, Saturday At Seattle May Decide Winner in Northwest Division Scramble Oregon Confident r Seasoned Sophomores Pass Over Hump; Playing Methodical Hall Championship of the 1937 north ern division basketball scramble will be at stake in Seattle this weekend when Oregon's ravenous Ducks face Hec Edmund's title de fending Washington Huskies. Victory over Oregon State in Saturday’s tough "civil war" fray put Coach Howard IIobson'3 Lemon Yellow basketeers definite ly on the trail of their first bas ketball title since 1927. Two games on Friday and Sat urday nights will settle it for this year unless Oregon and Washing ton divide honors. Each team has won ten contests and dropped four. Definitely over the hump in this season’s mad pennant race. Coach Hobson’s warriors have only one team to point for. The Webfoots are a confident crew now. Now Seasoned Outfit They're no longer the inexperi enced sophomore team of early season competition, but a seasoned outfit. In recent games their un steady play has grown into con sistent methodical ball. Hardest games of the season to win, said Coach Hobson yesterday, were the ones they were supposed to win. Against Idaho, and Wash ington the Webfoots dropped home tilts mainly because of jittery play, which has since been conquered. In Seattle Friday and Saturday nights Oregon’s bounding sopho mores will be facing a veteran Washington team. Wagner, Love rich, Egge, and Gannon of Hec’s five, are all seniors as compared to the three or four first year men Coach Hobson might start. Oregon Has Height The Webfoot mentor, however, feels that Oregon's edge in size and ability c&n more than balance that.

Pinedo’s praise of the University was high and sincere. He said, “I have been most deeply impressed by the sincerely friendly attitude toward me by the students and faculty. I had been led to believe that there would be coolness toward me as a foreigner; the opposite is the case.” Questioned as to the University of Lima, which is the oldest uni versity on the South and North American continents, Pinedo stat ed that they have all departments corresponding to our with the ex ception of art. The schools in Peru are public with a few private Catholic schools; education is not for the privileged few but for those striv ing to get ahead. Ten per cent of the students at the University of Lima are women with the number increasing yearly. A decided preference is shown by Peruvian coeds for fine arts and business administration, said Pin edo. As Pinedo has been in America for the last three years engaged in research, he has had ample op portunity to observe our customs. His comment was, ‘‘The customs are similar but here the emphasis is more on the practical, whereas in Peru they are less concerned with business and money-making.” A query as to Pan-American re lations led Pinedo to say, “With the United States as a sister na tion, cooperation between them would be promoted and encouraged, (Please turn to page two) It’s not too late to prepare for the Military Ball with a MID-NITE BLUE DOUBLE-BREASTED TUXEDO Smartly styled $22.50 — and up — ERIC MERRELL’S The University Men's Store
