Loyalisis Advance
Belabored Spanish fascists suf
fered another defeat yesterday
when Loyalist troops took Alcar
acejos and Villaneuva del Duque,
key points in General Franco's
drive on the coal and mercury de
posits of the Pozoblanco area, gov
ernment officials announced.
Both sides gave out stories of
mutinies in their opponent's ranks.
Government sources told of whole
sale executions of fascist troops
because of anti-Italian feeling
among the Spanish insurgents.
Loyalists deserters described a
similar revolt in their own ranks
on the Asturian front, where 150
militiamen were said to have been
shot.
Conference Adjourns
The drawn out auto strike seem
ed near its end yesterday as Gov
ernor Murphy was hopeful for a
settlement when the adjourned
conference between strikers and
Chrysler officials convenes Friday.
At the same time the Illinois legis
lature pondered measures which
would make sitdowns a felony, ne
gotiations before strikes compul
sory, and negotiations with sit
downing workers a crime.
Settlement of the Chrysler
strike, which started March 8 as
a sitdown, would bring 70,000 auto
workers back to their factories.
Observers believed that this move
would speed up agreement between
employers and 10,000 Reo and
Hudson workers who have occupied
plants for the past 20 days.
More Court Comments
Declaring that the supreme
court reversal proved the "presi
dent is right," Senator Robinson,
Democratic leader of the court re
form supporters, added to the
reams of comment on the proposal
with a triple attack against Sena
tor Borah, Senator Glass, and Jus
tice McReynolds.
Calling Borah inconsistent,
branding Glass as using “vitrolic”
language, and accusing McRey
nolds as being unsportsmanlike,
Robinson urged support of Roose
velt in his efforts to deal with so
cial needs of the present through
interpretation of the constitution

Stealing Pants
Puts Kibosh on
Retributioners
By BERNADINE BOWMAN
Officer C. H. McGee uncovered
a lurid drama at the University of
Nebraska, recently, while on his
nightly tour of the campus. In the
vicinity of the Phi Alpha Delta
fraternity house he encountered a
stack of trousers, pajamas, and
various other garments.
Peering behind the array he be
held two rather youthful maraud
ers interrupted in the midst of a
•wholesale clothing pickup. Within
the car parked at the curb was
found an equally large number of
articles.
Charged with possession of an
undue amount of clothing, the ac
cused persons revealed the fact
that the trousers belonged to ac
tives of the chapter and were be
ing taken in an attempt at retri
butions for grievances suffered
during Hell week.
The marauders told such a con
vincing story that they were taken
to the police station for protection
after the officers returned the
clothing to the house.
Gravedigging Student
Here’s a couple of odd ways of
earning an education. David Mears
of Butler university earns as he
learns by digging graves. Two
Texas Tech brothers lasso bobcats
from horseback and sell them to
the experimental laboratories at
school.
Grades by Scents
John Madigan, instructor at the
College of St. Thomas, recently
was displeased with the grade on
a physics test. To express his opin
ion he scented the papers, with the
aid of chemist colleagues, with
good and bad perfume.
Those of an A and B class were
sprayed with “Paris Night" and
“Eau de Cologne." C and D
papers wrinkled noses with the
medium-strength odor of rotten
eggs—hydrogen sulphide.
But the seven of the E and F
class rocked stomachs with the
staggering smell of rancid butter
—butyric acid!

\ I */y Occupancy of New
s Abe Seen in WPA Grant
For Remodling Old One
Executive Board Musi Approve Plan for
Immediate Moving of Books if Plan
Goes Through
With the awarding of a WPA project to the University this week
to remodel the old library into a law school came the possibility of im
mediate occupation of the new library. Whether moving will start
in the next three weeks will be decided at a meeting of the library
committee this afternoon.
Before the actual moving it will be necessary to have the approval
of the executive board, which is expected to act on the library com
minee s/reuoiiimemmLiuii 1111* with.
WPA Grant Endangered
The WPA giant covers the labor
of remodeling. Dr. Will V. Norris,
chairman of the University build
ings and grounds committee, fears
if the advantage is not taken, in
June the WPA labor rolls will be
cut and the University will lose its
grant.
According to Wiilis Warren the
moving process would take three
weeks of concentrated work dur
ing which time there would be con
siderable inconvenience to the stu
dents.
Over one-fifth of the books, ap
proximately 60,000 volumes, were
moved to their places on the new
libe stacks before spring vacation.
With a crew of 20 men working
part time it took four days. How
ever, if the decision is made to
move, a large force will be put to
work and it was thought that the
actual moving could be done in a
little over two weeks, leaving part
of their third week to allow the
library force to become adjusted
to their new quarters- and move
office and desk supplies. If the
moving plan is approved April 2.1
has been sgt as the opening day
for the new library.

Hunter Says
Building service employees com
pleted plans for organizing a local
union affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor last Tuesday
at a meeting in the Labor Temple.
The union will consist of all build
ing employees ranging from Al
bany to San Francisco. Several of
these groups were represented at
the meeting and the request for a
charter has been sent to the A. F.

This union will include all the
campus building employees. The
school administration has voiced
approval of this plan and willing
ness to deal with the laborers
through this medium.
Chancellor Frederick M. Hunter
stated concerning the union that
"(1) The board of education is
perfectly willing to recognize the
labor union just as it recognizes
the right to belong to any other
legitimate organization (2) the
board expects to pay union scale
of wages just as soon as the funds
are available (3) whenever a staff
member or employee is discharged
he has the right of a fair hearing
and an appeal to superior offi
cers.”

A peppy marching: song that will cheer on Oregon's fighting athletes
and. recall memories and traditions of the past is being introduced
around the campus before being presented at a large student assembly

The song, "Marching Oregon," was written by Hal Young and George
Hopkins, members of the music school faculty, and has met with great
approval at the two performances given it, at the last student assembly
ana at tne aiu nouse, ouuuay.
Its composers hope to make it as
much a tradition of the University

Hopkins, Young Writers

of writing this new song when the
Chicago publishers bought the
copyright on “Mighty Oregon,” and
restricted the use of it to non
