Duchess Wallie Stymied Steel By PAUL DEUTSCHMANN l\o Recognition Hecognition of unions formed by employes of the state of Oregon is impossible, Gov. Charles H. Mar tin said in a statement released last night. Basing his contention on a clause of the Wagner labor relations net which exempts state and local governments from the definition of employers in the bill, he positively refused to collective bargain with any organization of state-employed men. Effect of the local union of cam pus janitors and other building workers, which was recently or ganized, could not be learned last night as President C. Valentine Boyer, Chancellor F. M. Hunter and Charles Paddock, secretary of the Eugene labor council could not be contacted. John Bull Torpedoed While England celebrated the coronation yesterday, three of John Bull’s navy men were killed and over a score injured off the south ern coast of Spain near Almeria when the British destroyer Hunter either struck a mine or was tor pedoed. In London officials gave no defi nite statement, said information on the incident was incomplete. Loy alist sources were insistent that the damage was done by a torpedo from a German-constructed sub marine manned by insurgents. The Hunter was hit outside the three mile limit while on patrol duty for the international “hands-off” Spain blockade. Her Royal Highness With his brother George con templating a beard to look more kingly, Edward was busy in an at tempt to force the government to confer on Wallis Simpson the title, “her royal highness, duchess of Windsor.” Baldwin's cabinet was willing to agree upon the last half of the title, but balked on the three words which would make the American divorcee a member of English roy alty. Opinion of the royal family on the title was divided, according to reports. Big Walkout Looms With 6,000 men going out yes terday and possibility of nearly 200,000 more on strike in the near future, indications were that the steel industry was again to be torn open with labor trouble. Present difficulty is written bargaining agreements, according to Philop Murray, leader of the steel work ers organizing committee. Police officials in the Pittsburgh area girded themselves for trouble. First disorder of 500 pickets was dispursed by tear gas. 'What Is Love?9 Thing Caught, But Not Taught By ALYCE ROGERS The California Bruin recently sent an inquiring reporter about to find out “Just, what is love?” A woman student replied: “Love is what I feel for hamburgers—with onions!” A male student said, “It’s something that is caught, not taught.” A law student answered: “Love is something which, if you’re out of, you can get more work done.” And a campus leader de clared, “Love makes two people not like each other when they haven’t got any of it.” Tobacco Heads List Sixty-five per cent of the luxur ies that students buy on the Stan ford campus, valued at $20,000 in trade each quarter, are cigars, cig arettes, and tobacco. Candy and gum rank next on the list. Headache allayers, tooth' pastes, and cough drops come third under the title of drugs. Aspirin, Anacin, etc., seems most popular toward the end of each quarter. Death, But Not Glasses Males on the Southern California campus have been lashed to a bit ing fury by the current coed fad of wearing colored glasses in and out of classes, so the campus columnist says: “Give me freedom, give me death— Even give me bad, bad breath— But, My Godfrey, Trojan lasses! Must you wegr those colored glasses ?” And the fad seems to be start ing here. Suppose the same results will occur? New ASUO Committee Starts Reign; Student Body Fees to Be Same Steps Taken to Correct Proxy Vote Problems, Unify Class Election Proeesse.s Greeters Talked Plans for Student Group to Welcome Visitors to Be Discussed Writh Boyer By LLOYD TUPLING Oregon’s ASUO officers took up the reigns of student government at an executtive committee meeting yesterday, set activity card fees for the coming year at the same price as this year, stepped forward to correct problems which arose dur ing the recent election, and discuss ed the possibilities of organizing a student committee to greet campus visitors. The student executive committee on the recommendation of the edu cational activities board and the athletic board set fall, winter, and spring at seven, five, and three dollars. Fees Value Shown Careful consideration was given to possible variations in the fee payment, but because of the full athletic and educational program scheduled for the coming year, members of the committee decided to leave the fee distribution at its present ratio. Two of Oregon’s most important games, against Stanford and Oregon State, will be played on a newly-turfed Hayward field, and two more games will be played in Portland.

Library Result of 10-Year Labor Backstage by Staffs Of University and Oregon — (Editor’s note: This is the first of a series of articles telling of what went on behind the scenes in the construction of the new library.) By 1925 the need for a new building to house Oregon's growing collection of books had become pressing. The books were overflowing the shelves and the building was proving inadequate to accommodate , the students. The first real action was taken in 1927. Arnold Bennett Hall, then president' of the University, introduced a bill into the legislature asking an appropriation of $355,000 for a new building. The bill' passed both house and senate but met with Governor Patterson’s disapproval and veto. Under President Hoover's regime the issue was again brought out of the moth balls, and an investiga tion started in an attempt to get a loan through the newly-created RFC. But this proved impossible and the issue again went back into storage. Efforts Renewed When the PWA was started un der Roosevelt, efforts were renew ed. President Boyer, Chancellor Kerr, Vice-president Barker, Dean James A. Gilbert and Dean Wayne L. Morse combined behind the pro ject. On November 11, the same day that Oregon played Oregon State in their annual grid rivalry at Portland, the PWA board approved the plans in a meeting at Portland. The recommendation was for warded to Washington and led the list, but no action was taken be cause funds had not been appro priated. Then the project was scratched off the list entirely as Dean Gil rides will be furnished, and that it will extend from two in the afternoon until ten in the evening. S*5 in Treasury President Margilee Morse an nounced that after the gifts had been made and picnic expenses paid thre would still be approxi mately $75 left in the treasury for a permanent fund.

We got er ax And chop go Loosies hed ifun you dont brang perty proof sined by Editor that you publish no durt about weuns.” Things were in an uproar and turmoil. But the editors valiantly decided to let blackmail take its course. The dirt-gathering went on, and pledges retaliated: “If you chop Lucy’s head, we have about 16 stories that will at least have you blackguards tar red and feathered. And ridden on a rail. Not to mention having to leave town.” Diess, Elle Take Jobs With Timber Company Lincoln Diess, graduate of the school of business administration, winter term, and Clarence Elle, sophomore, have accepted full-time positions with the Weyerhaeuser Timber company in Longview, j Washington.

Tt was quite obvious, however, that she had been rehearsing her part for weeks.

Without a moment's hesitation she was ready. “Alpha hall,” she said, "Alpha hall."

Class Elections On Slate Soplis Plan Re-Eleclion; i Lasl Vote Invalidated By Judiciary Group By BILL~PENGRA Release last night of the ASUO i judiciary committee's decision on the petition of redress on the re sults of last week’s sophomore elections, confirmed rumors of party leaders that a revote will be necessary.

One feels as *he talks, a magnetic power which is constantly casting out for new plot material. Mr. Haycox, graduate from the University in 1923, told with expres sive eyes and a still more impressive cigar, how melancholy it made him to visit the campus again. He i accredited this to the fact that the campus itself has not changed and that he has. With a bit of prompting he re called his student days when he lived in a “chicken coop” back of the old Delt house. It was here he did his first writing and mighty proud was ne of the rejection slips which were plastered all over one side of his “coop.” One of his first ambitions was to get a rejection slip from every editor in America! Unfortunately for him, one might say, this goal was never achieved because his stories began to be snatched up. They now appear in leading magazines, including Col , liers and Saturday Evening Post. Haycox sold his first story while he wa-i still attending school, and he describes it now as being “lousy.” It was a sea story based on some true adventures of fish pirates. His stories are still based, as a rule, on some bit of experi ence. Writing courses in college have Haycox’s full approval. They bring to life whatever writing ability the student may have by furnishing an incentive. It takes more than college to crush the imagination of students, and it is an imagination that is essential to a writer, according to the man with the “huge pair of eyes and the big flannel ears at tached to an over sensititve ner vous system,” Mr. Haycox's own definition of an author.
