This year's first battle movement has been posted on the BA school’s bulletin board by the barrlsteers. The content of the irksome letter full of legal humor and insults is as follows: Fun Round-Up Mayflower: "She's No Lady" and “Paid to Dance.” McDonald: "It's Love I'm Af ter" and "Scandal Sheet.” Heilig: "Telephone Operator" and "Range Defenders.” Rex: “Varsity Show” and "Heidi."

By DOUG PARKER Bette Davis and Leslie Howard, matinee stars, are the leading chasers in “It’s Love I’m After,” at the McDonald. Olivia de Havil land and Eric Blore take other leading roles. Howard's stage Shakespearean seems so wonderful to Olivia de Havilland that she becomes in fatuated. Then, just as Howard and Miss Davis are about to get married on a noisy New Year’s Eve, Patric Knowles, Olivia’s fiance, succeeds in making Howard promise to drop everything and try to disillusion Olivia. Squaring the triangle proves to be easier squawked than squared. Howard’s characterization of a cad fails to disillusion Olivia. Instead she loves him all the more. Only fault: In the end, things turn out all right, but Olivia de Havilland performs so well that one wonders if Howard wasn’t the disillusioned one. • Added attractions at the Mac: A mechanical-like man in the foyer who offers $10 to anyone who can make him laugh; March of Time through Nazi Germany.

Difficulties of the latter plan are the criticisms of political figures who object to entangling foreign alliances under any cir cumstances, while powerful finan cial interests effectively block the former. C’OMISH TO SPEAK Dr. H. N. Cornish, professor of business administration, will ad dress the convention of northern hardware dealers to be held in Portland Monday and Tuesday, February 21 and 22. I To the Scool of Business Malad acTministration: University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon. The undersigned observes with regret from recent issues of The Oregon Daily Emerald, and from conversations on the BA “curb" that said school of business admin istration is struggling with new and perplexing difficulties, to-wit: that you are unsuccessfully trying to write, compose, and draft a constitution for your self-esteemed “playhouse of future fifteen-dollar a-week-clerks.” May we take this opportunity to suggest, and earnestly implore and request that you turn the matter over to some competent person, or body of persons, in the “art school," and instead take it upon your selves to singly and collectively organize an indoor baseball team; and more emphatically, to select a coach so that you will be somewhat prepared to furnish at least inter esting competition for the cham pions at the meet to be held next spring. If the Champion Law School In door Baseball team cannot be as sured of more competition than was present last year, it will take steps to secure the services of some other worthwhile opponent upon these campi. As “social butterflies” you may be the “tops,” but in the fields of constitution drafting and baseball playing, your utmost efforts will avail you but little against the brains, athletic prowess, and out standing personalities that are to be found in the Law School of the University of Oregon. Signed, sealed and acknowl edged, this sixteenth day of Feb ruary, 1938. The Law School of the Univer sity of Oregon, By: Geo. W. Neuner, director of activities. Sidney A. Milligan, student pres ident. (Seal). No retaliation has been made by the BA school as yet, but the law students are expecting some type of answer. Students Asked to Study Labor, Relief Students interested in visiting various Eugene offices to study la bor, relief, and other aspects of the community life were invited to meet at 9:40 at Hayes Beall’s, 159 East 13th. The tour of Eugene will be con ducted by Orval Etter, Wesley foundation social action chaitman and Mr. Beall. Speaking on modern trends in education, Dean J. R. Jewell of the school of education will appear Friday before students of Mt. An gel college and Mt. Angel semin ary. Ducks Return (Continued from page two) Washington Huskies at Seattle. Idaho, too, has a tough row to hoe. Tonight and Saturday nights they open their tour of Oregon against Slats Gill’s slow-moving but dangerous Orangemen, tackle Oregon next week and then top it off with Washington State up north.

Ticket offices in McArthur court yester day reported an unusually heavy advance demand for the paste boards, including many out of town orders. The ballet will appear in McArthur court next Monday night. One of the most compelling fea tures of the presentation is said to be the Hindu music, Shan-Kar's all native orchestra contributing much to the total effect of the ballet by its use of native instru ments exclusively. The instruments used are of the general type of Western instru ments, although the resemblance is in many cases remote. The Hindu equivalents of guitar, violin, and lute are some of the instruments to be found in the orchestra. Also used are fantastically curved na tive horns, whose tones and shapes are unlike anything Western. Rice bowls containing water are among the unusual sources of mu sic made use of, the water in the bowls being kept at varying levels to provide a variety of pitches. The pitch is changed by means of a pail of water which is kept handy in the wings. Musical director and chief com poser for Shan-Kar is Vishnudas Shirali, leading musical authority in present-day India. Phi Delt Handballers Enter Donut Finals Jackson, DePittard Lead Barnmen to Shutout Win The Phi Delta Theta handball team whipped Sigma Phi Epsilon 3-0 yesterday in three fast games.

In the second singles match Romy DePittard of Phi Delts trounced Del Bjork 21-20, 21-6. In the doubles match Bob Smith and Sid Milligan downed A1 Long and Freeman Sinclair, who put up a grand fight but finally lost in the end 21-10, 21-16. With the victory yesterday the Phi Delts go into the final round and play the winner of the Zeta hall-Sigma Chi game for the championship.

Douglass, University librarian, on his recent trip there. There are, he says, the “sporty” class who go to Miani to play the races, and the “conservatives” who go to St. Petersburg to play shuffleboard and go to church. Shuffleboard is so popular that one St. Petersburg club boasts 5000 members, says Mr. Douglss. Libraries and gardens interested Mr. Douglass most durin" the nine weeKS ne and Mrs. Douglass were guile and during which they ! stayed ten days in Winter Park, where the Ringling circus has its winter headquarters, a week in St. j Petersburg, and stopped for “one night stands,” as he called them, in a number of towns. Asked if he played shuffleboard in St. Peters burg, Mr. Douglass laughingly re plied, “No,” but went on to say | that the church there was so well i attended that they have to have several sermons a week to take care of all the tourists. A peacock farm, a place called the “sponge capital of the world,” cypress and other gardens, the Bok tower situated at 320 feet and said to be Florida’s highest elevation, and Dizzy Dean's service station figure among the more interesting places he visited, Mr. Douglass be lieves. Libraries Visited Campuses and libraries included in his itinerary were Claremont Colleges Incorporated, the Univer sity of Arizona, Florida Women's College, the University of Florida, Tulane university, the University of Louisiana, and the University of j Texas. Many libraries were closed at the time he saw them, Mr. Douglass said, since he traveled mostly during Christmas vacation. Mrs. Gladys Patterson, library secretary, and Willis Warren, ex ecutive assistant, were the admin istrative heads of the library dur ing his absence, Mr. Douglass says. I I Alpha Phis Eat Morning Meal Minus Emerald. Alpha Phis had to eat their toast and jam without their accustomed reading of the Em erald yesterday morning, but it wasn’t the fault of the Emerald delivery boy. The freshman members of the sorority burned the papers in order to keep them from the eyes of the rest of their sisters. However, their deed wasn’t as malicious as it might seem, for the news they wanted to sup press was the arrangements for their'coming winter dance, plan ned by the freshmen, and sup posed to be a secret to upper classmen.

' UNIVERSITY FLORISTS Tj98 E. 13th - Varoff's Companion Dead; George Is Sad By EHLE KEBER Last Monday evening an incident occurred that saddened the life of George Varoff deeply. His “baby” was killed. George acquired his baby last spring and it has been his constant companion through many track meets. It plays a very important part in George’s jumps to fame, and has helped him advance to the heights of world's indoor pole vaulting record holder. The cross bar was up to 14 feet. George had jumped twice and was making his third trial when it happened. He got a perfect take off, and it looked like he was going to go over when suddenly his "baby” crumpled and the end came very quick. Form on Ground Hayward rushed to George's side and when he found that he was not hurt turned to the form lying on the ground. Hayward picked up the limp form and looked it over carefully. George and Hayward sent the remains to its birthplace George’s “baby” is his pet vault ing pole. It was shipped to the factory where an exact duplicate will be made and then shipped to Npw York where he will use it in the NCAA indoor meet. Pi Lambda Theta to Elect Officers Soon Edith Luke, Helen Emery, and Mrs. Zelda Morrow were appoint ed to a committee to nominate candidates for office in the local chapter of Pi Lambda Theta, wo men’s national education honor ary, at the group’s monthly meet ing held Monday night. Election of officers for the coming school year will be held in March. A discussion of the specific problems of buying cosmetics, ap parel, and foods was led by Mary Magers at the meeting. Present ing divisions of the topic were Mrs. C. L. Constance, who dis cussed the purchase of cosmetics; Ella Carrick, the purchase of ap parel, and Tillie Dorffler, the pur chase of foods. The next meeting will be held on | March 14 at the home of Mrs. H. D. Sheldon,1343 University street. - -- Foo to Have New Place in Name Spotlight For many months now, the word “foo” has been battered around the Oregon campus. First it was foo plus foo is four, then it was foo can live as cheaply as one, and then “Foo Confes sion.” Now at last foo is coming into its own, and will have some thing besides just a name to hang its hat on. Marge Olson, news bureau secretary, reports that her father has suddenly taken a great in- | terest in the word, and will christen his new motor boat, “The Foo.” Too bad the name was never copyrighted. Alumni Dinner.Set. .. For March 17; Erb, Oliver to Be Guests March 17 has been set by the Alumni association for their ban quet in Portland, Elmer Fansett, alumni secretary, said yesterday.
