Eugene’s Annual Diamond Opener Is Scheduled for Tomorrow We Don’t Wanta Mince Woids, Nor Beat Bushes, We Accept, Say BA Boys OFFICIAL REPLY TO THE LAW SCHOOL CHALLENGE In our characteristic, to-the-point, straightforward, time-saving, business-like manner, we make reply to the Shysters’ challenge, that verbose, but incomprehensible document that besmeared the third page of the Oregon Daily Emerald on April 19, 1939. At the outset, we wish to say that we were not befuddled by the stilted, outmoded, legal terminology which obviously permeated the minds of the authors of that atrocious creation of adolescence. It is quite apparent that at least those two persons, typical of the so-called “law students” who infest that second-hand diploma-mill to our immediate east, are nothing but sublime mediocrities, intoxicated by the exuberance of their own verbosity. So They Call It a Dance As to the comparison drawn between shysters and business stu dents in regard to personal characteristics, we recall with amuse ment the comments which appeared in the Oregon Emerald prior to that annual pornographic, alcoholic, sex-fest, commonly known as the “Lawyers’ Ball.” In speaking of these “hard-working, serious minded, sober and celibate men of dignified mien,” one coed said with a shudder of disgust, “Going to a law school dance in a strap less formal is like throwing catnip to a cage of tigers.” Another contemptuously remarked, “A law school dance is a conclusive argument for the return of prohibition.” They Avoid the Law School In regard to the charge that the Business Administration stu dents have diverted the “stream of feminine pulchritude,” it is interesting to note that the very quintessence of feminine loveli ness still passes the front portals of Commerce hall enroute from Oregon to Deady, and that only the law school is avoided. It appears illogical that these beauties would continue to pass the Business Administration school, were it not for the obvious attraction of the array of Herculean manliness assembled there in studies dis cussion of contemporaneous business problems. Lawyers Have ‘Fish Eye’ Furthermore, it is not difficult to understand why University coeds avoid 13th street in the vicinity of Fenton hall. No self respecting woman will continuously subject herself to the lewd stares, raucous whistling, and juvenile quips of anemic, concave chested, round-shouldered, semi-animated tome-thumbers, precar iously draped over upper-story window sills. We Accept! Finally, we accept the brazen challenge tendered by the attor neys for the “plaintiffs.” In previous years, our stalwart athletes have unfailingly brushed arised the feeble efforts of the challeng ers’ ineffectual fanning-mills and delivered them a sound drub bing, despite the partisan officiating of “Dishonest John” Hollis. Should the “plaintiffs” be so foolhardy as to present their emaciated bodies on the Field of Honor at the appointed time, May 6, 1939, words cannot express the pleasure our gallant lads shall take in administering the customary thorough thrashing.

That Good Bread LOOK FOR THE GINGHAM WRAPPER! i ■ ■ ■ B ■ ■ Graduate Opinion Favors Organization of Alumni Group for Social Purposes Possibility of accomplishing a long-suggested organization oi graduate students on the campus appeared imminent last night aftei the release of a survey aimed at a cross-section of graduate opinior j on the subject. The survey stated its purpose as “organizing the graduate students of the University of Oregon for social purposes.” A group of foul questions was posed, with students indicating their response as yes and no on each question. | Culminating a long period of disorganized discussion, the survey appeared as the first positive ac tion looking to the eventual forma tion of a graduate organization. Graduates, realizing that they have had- common pursuits and inter ests somewhat outside the com mon run of campus activity, ex pressed themselves almost unani mously in favor of forming a close knit group instead of remaining in their present state of complete disorganization. Results of the poll, by questions: 1. Are you in favor of an organ ization of graduate students for social purposes? Yes, 50. No. 5. 2. Would you take part in activ ities sponsored by such an' organi zation? Yes, 49. No. 6. 3. Would you like to have, and would you patronize, a graduate ball? Yes, 32. No. 19. 4. Are you willing to contribute to the financial support of activi ties sponsored by such an organi zation? Yes, 28. No, 12. Undecid ed, 13. Splashers Drill For Pageant Under the combined direction of Miss Warrene Eastburn, of the physical education department, and ! Ned Johns, men's swimming coach, Oregon’s top-notch men and wo men swimmers held a stiff work out for their coming water pag eant May 2 and 3, last night in the Gerlinger pool. The joint meeting was in the form of a general rehearsal and the theme of “Duck Splashes,” which is to act out and interpret the highlights of the past school year, was sketched in for the swimmers and a few numbers were worked out in more detail. Combining the two groups for the first time, fundamental forma tions were worked out and some effective routines were learned. Most practice was done on the “Rushing” and “Wtooden Shoes” numbers. Margaret Young, general chair man of the pageant also assisted in supervising the pageant work out. Minor Cases Fill Infirmary Fevers and headaches have been on the increase among students registered at the infirmary since the beginning of this week, accord ing to campus hospital doctors. Although most patients are con fined from only one to three days, yesterday the infirmary was near ly filled to capacity, and only one ward remained vacant. Yesterday’s sick list included: Patricia Holder, Dorothy Kester son, June Dick, Moore Dwight, Mary Bailey, Jule McGirr, Earl Scott, Marjorie Montgomery, Gil bert Wiley, Elizabeth Murray, Don Kirkpatrick, Janice Johnson, Fred Loback, Betty Anderson, Allison Childs, Helen Hayes, Francis Schultz, Jack Lochridge, Rae Sprague, John Biller, Annabel Payne, Harrington Harlow, Eunice Edwards, and Ted Steele.

NIGHT Adm. $1.00 Kaapcke Suit First in Moot Court Series Action Against Jack McLaughlin To Be April 27 First action in the case of Wal lace Kaapcke vs. Jack McLaugh lin was taken yesterday when Mr. McLaughlin received summons to appear in the Lane county court house Thursday evening, April 27. This trial is the first of the law school’s moot trials. Orlando John Hollis, professor of law, has charge of the trials and will act as judge. Mr. Kaapcke has authorized his attorneys, Tony Amato and Stan ley R. Darling, to sue Mr. Mc Laughlin for $200. Kaapcke Has a Car Mr. Kaapcke left his car at Mc Laughlin’s garage with instruc tions to lubricate the car, change the oil in the crankcase, check the tires and battery, and fill the tank with gasoline. When Mr. Kaapcke called for his car, Mr. McLaughlin said everything was O.K. But when Mr. Kaapcke was driv ing his car to Salem, the motor stopped. It was found that there was no oil in the crankcase, the engine had overheated and had frozen, and a new motor would be required. McLaughlin Won’t Pay McLaughlin refused to admit lia bility or make an adjustment. Orval Etter and Michi Yasui will defend Mr. McLaughlin. Other law school students tak ing part in the trial are: Frank Nash, bailiff and notary; Alan Da vis, clerk; Bernard Kliks, reporter and sheriff; Mel Rooney, Edwin Welsh, witnesses for the plaintiff; and Carl Helm, George Smith, wit nesses for the defendant.
