Barristers Barrage
'Maladministrators'
Crowing over their first “curbstone" softball championship in the
history cf Oregon’s lawyers, the barristers yesterday opened the an
nual law schoo-BA battle with a bit of legal advice.
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.”

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:

who offers $10 to anyone who can
make him laugh; March of Time

US Becoming
(Continued from page one)
"The destruction of 6000 peasants
by famine is nothing compared to
the execution of a divine mission.
The Japanese believe that they
cannot be defeated . . . ■ that they
are the descendants of the gods.”
Sanctions Suggested
Plans of active prevention of
Japanese aggression could be un
dertaken individually by America
by cutting off the supply of oil and
iron and other raw materials and
in conjunction with Great Britain
by commercial blockade, Close be
lieves. 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.

sity of Oregon,

No retaliation has been made by
the BA school as yet, but the law
students are expecting some type
of answer.
Students Asked to

the community life were invited
to meet at 9:40 at Hayes Beall’s,

ary.

Hindu Ballet Draws
Heavy Ticket Sales
All Native Orchestra
To Be Main Feature
Of Strange Concert
The Shan-Kar Hindu ballet will
be the best attended presentation of
the year to date, if advance sales of
tickets are any indication. 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.

Douglass Back From
Florida; Sees Sights
By PAT ERICKSON
Two classes of Florida winter vacationers were discovered by M.
H. 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.

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.

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.

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.

the state will be welcome as well
as students, since the banquet will
