Fusionists Win Again

Wanted: Dam Builder
Election Battle Starts j
LAGUARDIA VICTORY
CONCEDED BY DEMOCRAT
Landslide returns in favor of
Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, repub
lican-fusionist candidate for re
election as mayor of New York
City, assured him of his second
victory against Tammany and its
candidate, Jeremiah T. Mahoney.
The latter, a democrat, conceded
defeat in a telegram congratulating
the victor. With this election re- |
suiting as it has, many are pre
dicting the end of Tammany as a
power in New York politics.
Thomas E. Dewey, noted and
successful prosecutor of New York
racketeers and strong fusionist,
won the district attorney post.
Meantime, the election “battle of
the unions” was taking place in
Detroit. The AFL candidate for
mayor, Richard W. Reading, took
an early three-to-one lead over Pat
rick O'Brien, CIO-backed nominee.
STUDENTS DUNK
TOUGH PROFESSOR
Tossed into the campus pond on
Hallowe’en by a masked band of
150 students of the Monticello A.
& M. college, a young chemistry
instrucor admitted yesterday that
he had been the victim.
Campus gossip attributed the
dunking episode as a retaliation
for numerous "flunks” handed out
by the prof, and authorities at the
Monticello, Arkansas, institution
had not yet decided what to do
about the affair. . . . Wonder if
the baptizers’ cry was "We got
a prof?”

WINDSOR’S RECEPTION
PLANNED BY GOVERNMENT
In contrast to the snooty atti
tude of society big-wigs toward the
impnding visit of the Duke and
Duchess of Windsor, the ex-king
and his American wife will be wel
comed by the United States gov
evrnment just as it would any dis
tinguished foreign visitors.
George T. Summerlin, chief of
protocol for the state department,
will meet the pair at New York
and accompany them to Washing
ton, on orders from President
Roosevelt. In the first formal en
tertainment for Edward and his
bride by representatives of the
British crown since he gave up the
throne, the British embassy will
honor them at a “large” dinner in
■Washington on November 12.
GRAND COULEE BUILDER
WANTED BY ICKES
Wanted: a builder who can do
more in four years than was done
in a full generation by 100,000 men
who erected Egypt’s great pyra
mid. That is the kind of a con
tractor Secretary Ickes advertised
for yesterday — a contractor to
complete the Grand Coulee dam.
Bids will be opened for the job
at Spokane on December 10. The
winner must be ready to post a
$5,000,000 performance bond and a
payment bond of $2,500,000. The
latter is the highest on record. To
date almost $63,000,000 has been
expended on the Columbia river
project. Among materials to go
into the completion of the job will
be 7,000,000 barrels of cement and
60 trainloads of steel and machin
ery.

Ashurst's statements came as a
reply to a central labor council
resolution expressing "keen disap
pointment” in his candidacy and
urging his withdrawal in favor of
Mahoney. Open season for sena

Education Modernized
That education is being modern
ized was the assertion of C. F.

Primitive Masks On
Display in Library
Masks from various portions of the globe, including the northwest
:oast region of America, are on display in the main circulation lobby
}f the University library. Those from the northwest coast region in
clude various headdress and face masks used in ritual or ceremonial
dances of the early northwest, and are from the collection of Alice
Henson Ernst, associate professor
of English at the University.
The masks were collected by
Mrs. Ernst during a study of the
rituals of the region springing from
the writing of an article requested
by “Theatre Arts,” of New York,
on "Masks of the Northwest
Coast,” and continued during the
past five years.
Among them are a striking sun
mask with copper rays from the
Queen Charlotte region of British
Columbia, a gambling mask, and a
large black and red carving of the
"Basket Woman,” corresponding to
the witch of our own folk tales, to
gether with a ghost mask of Haida
carving.
From farther south are the sea
cougar mask from the Cape Flat
tery region of northern Washing
ton, and a colorful orange and
black festival wolf mask and var
ious objects of primitive art and
sculpture.
Since the ritual dances have now
practically vanished from the re
gion, the masks themselves are
rare, Mrs. Ernst says. Many were
sent from the region by early ex
plorers to the New York museumc,
to the Smithsonian institution at
Washington, D.C., and to the Field
museum for preservation. Berlin,
Munich, and some of the European
capitals also have fine collections
made by scientists during their
studies of beliefs and habits of
primitive peoples of this section.
Also exhibited in the circulation
lobby show cases are other masks,
collected by John March, reference
librarian. These include a Noh fish
man from Japan, a mask from
New Guinea, an auricanian death
mask from Chile, and three Mexi
can masks.

Interest in Contest

Time
Because of the unusual interest
and response in the Carl Baker
Oregana picture contest, the dead
line has been extended to Decem
ber 1, Louise Aiken, chairman, said
yesterday.
Competition for the prizes val
ued at $25, including subscriptions
to the 1938 Orcgana and photo
graphers’ supplies from Baker's,
will be strong, according to Miss
Aiken. Entries, which need only
include small contact prints and
the negatives, can be made any
clay at the office of the Oregana
editor in the educational activities
building. The negatives will be re
turned after the contest closes.
There is no limit to the number of
entries.
Miss Aiken is especially anxious
to obtain photographs of informal
activities about the various halls,
sororities and fraternities for
those sections in the yearbook, she
said. The pictures need not have
been taken this term as many of
last spring and summer's prints
are of great interest.
The contest is divided into two
parts, one for photographs of cam
pus life and one of art pictures of
the campus itself. Judges will be
George Godfrey, head of the news
bureau, Mr. Baker and Wayne
Harbert, editor of the Oregana.

Mime's Strange Art
Thrills Mrs. Seybolt
First-hand information about the strange art of Angna Enters,
coming to the campus Thursday, November 11 as an ASUO concert
series attraction, was obtained yesterday from Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt,
University theater director, who once attended the famed mime's ap
pearance in New York.
"Nobody knew quite what they
were seeing,” said Mrs. Seybolt,
"her performance being a presen
tation of human characters over a
considerable range in a rhythmic
pattern.”
Mrs. Seybolt was emphatic in
her endorsement of Miss Enters as
an attraction not to be missed.
“It is the only performance of its
kind in the country, and should
not be missed under any circum
stances."
Mrs. Seybolt said the act was
on the order of what Ruth Draper
does except there is no dialogue,
and characters and their emotions
are presented through motions.
Miss Enters portrays characters
so clearly that the audience can
see the mood of the person she is
imita'ting by the expression on her
face.
