Call For Volunteers are hunting for an Oregon woman with the backbone of an angle-worm. Not necessarily a Charlotte ('onlay or a Lucrezia Borgia. We don’t have a stabbing, poisoning, or a bombing in mind. But we would like to see a woman with nerve enough to commit a breach of the rules that looms large as murder in the eyes of those* who fend the morals of "Wrbfoot women. We seek a co-ed with suf ficient spunk to stand before her house mother after 10:30 p. m. and munch on a hamburger. Who shall do the trick? Don’t all say “aye’’ without knowing what may be the penalty, for it is a disciplinary offense and not to be taken lightly. Come, who shall run the risk? No volunteers? Well, we are carrying it a little far. There is not much need to ask for martyrs. The assinine rule is violated every night, and there is no sense in our making a point of it, except that it. affords a choice example of the ex treme campus disciplinarians may reach in drawing up their regulations. Violations of this rule have been so frequent the last few nights, since public attention was called to it, that one student caterer announces his mid night lunch business lias boomed 50 per cent. I'T there it stands in the rule-books: “Food is not to be delivered after 10:50 on week days, and 12:15 on weekends.” Why should such a prohibition ever have been established? There may have been a rea son for it once, though Lord knows what. Like buttons on coat sleeves, Hut it is hard to find any sense in it today. Conjecture has been rife, however, and one of the most entertaining accounts runs as follows: The regulation reads that “food is not to be delivered." It says nothing about the eating of food already on the premises. Hence, there must be something evil in the process of delivery. And that something can be only the fact that the agent is a man. A man, my dear, calling at the quarters of young women at late hours. A vast number of pos sible improprieties comes to mind—old stories about the Fuller brush man, the ice-man, the l^eter-reader. All very silly, of course, but try to figure out a better reason why young ladies should n't have food delivered after 10:50 if they so desire. The Hmerald columns will be open to anyone who can give sensible support for this regulation. We feel safe in resignating this a challenge. Faculty's Turn Now 'JpiJE faculty has turned thumbs down on the petition of the Henior eless that their graduating brethren be exempt from the spring finals. We can’t say that we blame them too much, for the proposal did have ils faults. But we are sorry that the rejection of the plan was so conclusive, as 1 hough it were lacking in any merit whatsoever. That isn’t at all true. The plan had at least one point in its favor: it proposed to correct such a thing, it was creditable. That the faculty doesn’t regard the sen iors’ proposal as a, reasonable solution fails to remove tin1 problem. Final exams crammed into a frenzied period just before commence ment, if no corrections is made, will continue to be a sorely in just trial for graduating students. The faculty should recognize the sincerity with which the petitioners brought the matter to their attention and should advance correc tive proposals compatible with the I niversity policies which they are familiar with, but to which the seniors apparently gave insuffici ent heed. Schumacher . (Continued from paqc one) numerous questions being asked on technicalities of the league. Dean Morris announced the subject for today as “Concrete Parts of Our International Policies.” Sjiain Focal Point Spain has the greatest body of unexploitcd natural resources in western Europe and this is the chief motive behind the belligerent action of Italy and Germany in the Spanish civil war, while the Hus sions are fighting for their prin ciples and an open Mediterranean trade-route, according to S. Ste phenson Smith in his part of the forum on world affairs. Italy and Germany are both too poor in natural reseourccs to build the great empire that their ambi tious rulers desire, and therefore need the rich mineral deposits such as Spain has. Foreign Nations Active The extent of foreign interfer ence on either side of the Spanish fight was also discussed at the for um. Mr. Smith said that most of the Italian troops in Spain were not volunteers, as Italian publicity would have them, but drafted troops who were told that they were going to Ethiopia. The Rus sian government, backing the loy alist cause, has sent modern tanks, and a large body of troops com manded by one of the ablest gen erals now living. Mr. Smith outlined the positions of the two belligerent part ies in Spain, and said that the popular; front loyalist government is anal ogous to a front that would have been presented by a coalition of the Democratic party, the Socialists, Progressives, and the Communists < of the United States before the election of Roosevelt. The reason given for the Russian support of this faction is that they have | adopted the plan of supporting democracy against the common enemy, fascism. Britain Threatens Mussolini's intervention in the conflict is also in large part due to his desire to wrest the domination of the Mediterranean from the British empire, Mr. Smith said Italy will demand domination of Spain, and outright owner.-hip of certain strategic points in tin event of Franco's rebel troops win ning. Mr. Smith also gave a brief sum- j mary of the characters of the three absolute dictators, Stalin, Musso lini, and Hitler, and the bearing they had on foreign sentiment tow ard their respective countries. The main general topic for to morrow’s discussion will be the American interests in the conflict between fascism and communism, and the possible outcome of the civil war in Spain, it was an nounced. Minerals in War, Topic Warren D. Smith, head of the geology department, took the speaker's chair at 3:30. “The big problem in the world today is the struggle between the haves and the have-nots,” he said. The United State and Great Brit ain are the haves, controlling nearly 70 per cent of the minerals between them. Italy and Germany are the have-nots. L)r. Smith pointed out that most wars are an acute phase of eco nomic strife. The fight for mar kets and raw materials know no bounds, and nations do not leave any stone unturned in an attempt to outstrip their neighbor. More Minerals I'sed “Since the beginning of the cen tury we have used more minerals than in all previous history, and cur highly industrialized modern life would not exist without min erals,” he said. “It happens that these minerals are essential to mo dern warfare.” "The only solution is collective security,” Dr. Smith said in talk ing of the present world situation, lie spoke strongly in favor of the world court and league of nations, and heartily praised Cordell Hull for his work, calling him the "greatest secretary of state we have had in my time because he is trying to remove the economic bar riers leading to war.” .Minerals Outstrip Man Citing Dr. Leith, professor ot geology at Wisconsin and world! authority on the subject of min erals, Dr. Smith said. “From the battle of Watterloo to the battle of the Marne tan even 100 years! the white population of the globe lias increased three times, but the draft on minerals has increased | from between 75 and 100 fold. That shows the increasing importance, of minerals to man." If the public will study the prob lem and conic to understand it Dr. Smith said, they would place j the matter m tin hands of trained men not politicians. Ethiopia Industrialized . Italy and Germany, working for a common cause, have [looted their resources and sent highly-trained highly-mechanized forces to Ethi opia in search of minerals. The head of the project is a professor in a famous technical school in Berlin, he told the forum. Spain is rich in minerals, he said. This, while not the whole cause, is the contributing cause of foreign interest in the Spanish revolution. Pi kaps Take (Continued from payc one) All women 2.4986 12. Chi Omega 2.1922 13.

Early Graduating Classes Gave Trees,Other Campus Landmarks to University (Editor’s note—This article is the fourth of a series which will teH the story behind interesting’ “landmarks” on the Oregon campus and which will appear in the Emerald from time to time.) By LUCILLE FINCK A growing, living tribute to Oregon are the trees that shade the older part of the campus. Students before us have known, and those after us will know their shade on warm spring days and their part in the beauty of the campus. Nineteen of the big trees near Villard and Deady halls were gifts of graduates wishing to perpetuate the memory of their classes on the campus. The class of '78 planted an English laurel near the north west coiner of Deady hall; ’79, a Japanese cedar tree; '80, a Cali fornia big tree; ’81, Port Orford cedar tree standing between th-; tennis courts and the southwest corner of Deady; '82 a mountain cedar which no longer stands as a building now occupies that spot. Mini Presented The class of ’83 started an elm tree from a slip of the famous elm at Washington’s tomb at Mount Vernon. It stands at the southwest corner of Villard hall. The class of ’84, an incense cedar; '85, a silver pine tree; '86, a fir tree once at the west entrance to Villard hall; ’87, arbor vitae tree; '88, an Oregon fir tree; '89, a larch or tamarack; and ’90, a spruce tree. An E n gl i s h cedar, orginally planted by the class of ’91, died. It was replaced by Mrs. J. O. Holt i (Susie Bannard) of Eugene by the ! English cedar now growing on the J campus. A California redwood was ! given by the class of '92; '94, a \ black walnut tree; '98. a myrtle tree. Both '95 and '90 gave Linden trees. the class ot 93 Drought a largo stone from the neighboring hills and placed it on the campus near the Condon oaks. These oaks were given metal name plates by the classes of 1897 and 1900. The class of '93 put a metal name plate in McClure hall in memory of Pro fessor S. E. McClure. Desk Is (lift Othei class gifts are the large floor clock in the main reading room of the old libe from the class of 1908; '09, a reading desk on the platform in Villard hall; TO, the Senior bench; '13. the Oregon seal in front of Villard hall; '13, the ornamental pond and fountain be tween the old libe and Deady hall: '30. the drinking fountain in front of the old libe. Other classes have contributed to scholarship and Oregana year book funds, and placed pictures, paintings, and statuary in Villard hall. The Whallon memorial was a gift to the Women's building fund by the class of TO in memory of Owen D. Whallon. a member of the cla.-. who was drowned in the Wil lamette river fee.ring his senior year. The class of "31 left money for a statue to express the athletic spirit ' i f Kincaid field in the memory of i the athletic contests staged there. I Later classes have also contribut ed class gifts, but these are the j older ones that add to the tradi tional background of Oregon.

Both CIO and ACL offi cials hailed the decision. Green forecast an end to company unions. Lewis hit at the power of the court. The Pennsylvania Hershcy strike was settled after 11 days of dis pute. In Canada Hepburn extended warnings to Lewis amt his CIO. said that jail sentences in case of trouble would be "for a good, long time and there wouldn't be any bail." String for Court Tangle Congress and Washington offi cial-. already upset for a month by the president's court reform, pro ceeded to tangle themselves up some more yesterday, as opinions and comments on the Wagner Labor relations act decision were handed down. Humors said that Roosevelt would go ahead with reform plans in spite of the judiciary's action and the threat of a petition from 48 senators to withdraw the bill. Compromise suggestions were numerous. Speaker Bankhead suggested that there would soon be a presi dential message in regard to legis lation on minimum wages, maxi mum hours and working condi tions. Roosevelt thought it was "a pretty good day for all of us.” Political Lines (Continued from page one) to take definite action on naming their candidates. Conjecture ran rampant amongst political observers over the possibility of the coalition re maining intact throughout the campaign barrage. No opposition was apparent, and members withirv the group were cooperating to carry out the avowed purpose. At the next session the boys discussed ideas and ideals, but arrived at no definite conclusion concerning the future of the or ganization. Kappa Sig Bill Dalton was appointed to draw up a list of objectives for the group, and Phi Delt Noel Benson was named chairman. On the following Tuesday, the group met in the Beta house, Bill Dalton submitted a group of plans, and there decided that “at the proper time the group, composed of one voting member from each organization, will select men to be nominated for each of the stu dent body offices and senior class officers. In an effort to make the caucus a cross section of student opinion, it was moved that candidates must be selected by a two-thirds vote of the group. No definite action was taken, and the meeting was adjourned until this week. (Continued from page one) Hutchinson, treasurer. Politicians from Sigma Nu. Delta, DU, Kappa Sig, SAM, SAE, SPE, Theta Chi, Fiji, and Phi Sig, were lined to back the group. Hochuli worked behind the scenes, and unconfirmed rumors had it that he would easily draw some of the Litfin’s support be fore the campaigns are over. Sophomores undecided on their political future, have been waltz ing from one side to the other, waiting for some candidates to come to the fore. Authoritative sources indicate that Fiji Jack Lockridge might manage DU Zane Kemler for junior president, if he can whip a few votes together. On the other side of the wall, Beta Denton Burdick stands ready to aim and fire at any and all groups or to throw his ability behind the right man if conditions are right. Seniors await the outcome of political philanderings at the meet ing of the ASUO coalition group Wednesday night. All groups are prepared to make some political show for the elec tions, but as yet no action has been taken by any of the classes to establish a constitution to gov ern the election of officers.
