LIBRARY CAMPUS Duck-WSC Baseball Game Covered on Sports Page P.L.D.P. Will Be Revealed Today at 11 o'clock Assembly VOLUME XL UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1939 NUMBER 114 ASUO Nominating Assembly Is Set for 11 Today I * National Rifle Trophy Again Graces Shelves Of UO ROTC Barracks In all its resplendent, silvery glory the Hearst National Five-man Rifle championship trophy now rests in the trophy case in the hall of the barracks. The trophy, won by the Oregon team in a match fired the week befote spring vacation, arrived on the Oregon campus Saturday. Yes terday, it was instaleld in the showcase which was reserved for it Juniors to Nominate ' Officers Candidates Keep In Dark Pending Outcome of ASUO Nominations Today Junior class politicians will stick their own spoon into the political stew tonight when they call for senior class nominations in Villard hall at 7:30 o’clock. Nominations will be from the floor and will put up students for the offices of presi dent, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. Political bigwigs are evidently busy tending to or trying to quench other fires, as there has been only one announcement of a possible , candidate for senior class office, f Bert Barr, Sigma Alpha Mu, is the only person to give notice of candi dacy for president. Phil Lowry, The ta Chi, probably will run if not put on the ASUO ballot. The way events swing today in the ASUO nomina tion convention may produce other candidates. Meanwhile, bloc meet ings hastily attempted to remedy the deplorable situation by picking likely persons to run for office. No startling events are expected to occur in tonight’s meeting to con tribute to the curren political stew —so diluted with old tomaties and rotten eggs. Besides the nominations, plans for Junior Weekend will be dis cussed, according to Scott Corbett, class president. And deviating from the usual procedure, a constitution al change will not be necessary. Elections will be held at the same time as regular ASUO voting. Jane Thacher Plays Again Numbers by Noted Composers to Extol Spring, Romance At 8:15 tonight Jane Thacher, professor of piano, will return to the platform in the music audi torium to bring students, faculty, and Eugeneans a concert of classic compositions, most of which are favorites among those who have heard her performances. The public is invited. Mrs. Thacher, who studied in Vienna under Leschetizky, the in structor and counsellor of Pader ewski, meets easily the require ments of the most difficult piano literature. Her programs are al ways popular with faculty, stu dents, and the people of Eugene. Spring Is Theme For her program Mrs. Thacher has selected light numbers, as well as a few in the dramatic vein, all specially adapted to the spring scene. Fritz Kreisler's waltz of Old Vienna, “'Love’s Sorrow,” also known as “Liebesleid,” will be played in Rachmaninoffs vivid transcription, "Alt Wein” by Cas telnuovo-Tedesco will be another in the Viennese style. From the works of the great Russian modernist, Scriabine, the pianist will play a prelude, a scherzo, and a sonata. This com poser, who died before he could (Please turn to page four) 7 The case was put up for the trophy when the Oregon team won it before. When Oregon lost it in 1938, Sergeant Harvey G. Blythe, j coach of the Oregon rifle teams, I decided that the case should have | something in it, so he put up a j sign which read: Home of the Na | tional Hearst Trophy — Won by Oregon in 1935 and 1937—This ! space reserved for 1939." And on ! April 6, 1939, Sergeant Blythe re i ceived word that his confidence in his team had been justified. They had won the championship and the trophy. Stanley Warren, team captain, also won the national individual championship. Warren’s award for this accomplishment, a 21-jewel Hamilton wrist watch, did not arrive with the trophy but is ex pected to arrive later with the gold medals for the five team members and the 9th corps area [ championship plaque. Shown Downtown All of these trophies, including the huge silver cup, will be dis played in the window of McMor ran and Washburne’s during the week preceding the Governor’s day competition to be held on May 19. The trophy may be seen in the barracks until it is taken down town for the display. It is a large silver trophy and on top of each handle is a tiny figure of a soldier, in a kneeling position, carefully taking aim at some distant mark. The cup is beautifully inscribed and on the back are the names of the colleges that have won the trophy in the ten years that it has been offered. It is mounted on a black stand. Presentation May 24 The awards and trophies will be officially presented to the team at the last spring parade of the year on May 24. It is planned to invite the governor and several other dignitaries. In addition to the awards al ready mentioned, a medal will be awarded the outstanding junior; ROTC student and the outstanding sophomore ROTC students and seven medals will be awarded the outstanding freshman students. The awards for the junior and sophomore are given by the Lane county chapter of the Reserve Offi cers, and the seven freshman medals are given by the local chapter of Scabbard and Blade, military honorary.

Powerful Rays Of Old Sol Fell Beach Bathers First sunburn patients of the season—that’s the title Jim Mor row and Virginia Hurst claimed yesterday while recovering from a “cool" day at the coast in the campus hospital. Morrow, who is confined to a ward with an infected ankle pa tient and two chronic cases of athletes foot, groaned with their aid his approval of the nurses, food, beds, and other infirmary equipment. Miss Hurst, from her guest-infested room, impressed on the press the fact that a burned back is no joke—the cure I consists of the application of ! oceans of lotion. Other students on yesterday’s I sicklist were Dwight Moore, El j ved Steele, Bob C. Anderson, | Joe Stinnette, Keith Jandrall, I Iola Dunning, Marguerite Snow, George Robinson, Nick Matich, Bob Crosby, and Eleanor Johnson. Picture Will Show Today Performances of 'La Maternelle' Set For 4,7 p.m. j Plenty of pantomime with a min imum of dialogue should enable even those who understand very lit tle French to comprehend and en joy “La Maternelle,” French movie to be shown in room 101 of the phy sical education building at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. today, according to re liable reports. Due to complaints that English substitles were distracting and of ten drew the spectators attention from the action 4he version chosen to show here by Pi Delta Phi, French honorary, will have no sub titles. Reports are that the action in the play would make them super fluous. Star of “La Maternelle,” (nursery home) is Paulette Alambert, who plays the part of pathetic little Ma rie, whose mother deserts her, leav ing her to shift for herself in the streets of Paris. Marie is taken in by Rose Young, nurse in a nursery which harbors children of the Paris slums lay day. Complications arise when Marie becomes jealous of the doctor who wants to marry Rose. Reviews in the New York Times praise the movie for avoiding the sentimentalism characteristic of the Hollywood variety of child mov ies. The “La Maternelle” is a stark ly realistic picture of the daily lives of the Parisian slum children who find daily sanctuary in la mater nelle from the squalor of their homes. Attention of the faculty is called to the mistake in the Faculty Bul letin which announced that the sec ond show will be at 7:30. The sec ond show will be at 7 p.m. Admis sion is 25 cents.

Stickers to Advertise Weekend Mails to Carry Official Word to World; Mallicoat Designs Seals Junior Weekend will take over the United States mail from today on, beginning- with the introducing to the campus by Junior Weekend promotion planners of official stickers to emphasize the three-day event. The stickers are to be used on all letters going out of the University, or in any other way which will reach the outside. Announcement that the stickers are ready came last night through Roy Vernstrom, Weekend publicity co-chairman, who worked out the plan in accordance with previous years. Dale Mallicoat designed the little seals. The sticker, Vernstrom said, is deep yellow lettered in reddish brown ink. The design model was a plaster of paris rabbit, carrying out the idea of canoe fete, junior prom, and campus luncheon. Written across the face of the sticker, or “scrawled,” to use Vernstrom's own word', is “Alice in Wonderland,” theme of Junior Weekend this year.

Ten Candidates Enter Race, but Accurate Estimate Doubtful Brooks, Brugman, Corbett, Gjording, Dick, Hafner, Hoffman, Norcross, Sederstrom, Vernstrom Eligible The ASUO political slate presented what looked like a full list of ten candidates late last night, but meetings, counter meetings, rumors, and unverified reports made an accurate sur vey of what was happening all but impossible as nominating assembly time approached. Just what will happen at the 11 o’clock assembly today could not be guaranteed by even the most expert political observers. The official records revealed this much. Nine candidates had legally signified their intentions of running and were fully qualified to be nominated at the assembly. 10 Clear Requirements Those who have cleared eligibil ity requirements, according to Zane Kemler, vice-president, of the ASUO, were Wen Brooks, Helen Brugman, Scott Corbett, John Dick, Loraine Gjording, Jeanette Hafner, Lloyd Hoffman, Mary Jane Norcross, Verdi Sederstrom, $nd Roy Vernstrom. Whether or not these candidates will all be nominate, or whether they will remain in the race until elections, could not be certified last night. At least one candidate will enter the race via the petition method. A movement began last night with the circulation of a petition to en ter Dick Litfin. The possibility that other candidates would come in before Thursday by this method was not too remote. Sederstrom Backers Meet A meeting of Sederstrom back ers at the Sigma Chi house last night, presided over by Zane Kem ler, announced a solidified support behind their candidate. Political representatives attending the meet ing were told that the candidates from houses which had been sup porting Dick would be withdrawn before election time. Most candidates could not be contacted to verify their intentions of running last night, but an earlier check-up had indicated no possibil ity of withdrawal. The group were also told that the entire anti-bloc movement was being used by the Phi Delts in an effort to put Scott Corbett on the executive commit tee, using backing from the SAE and Alpha Phi houses. Litfin Possible Candidate The move to put up Dick Litfin, SAE, was interpreted by some to mean an attemtp to scotch that ru mor. Litfin said last night that he would run if the required names were secured for his petition. He would make no complete commit ment on the possibility of his stay ing in the race. While rumors from the Seder ■strom bloc painted PLOP as being the dupe of both Corbett and Dick, that organization announced that a change had been made in speaker at the nominating assembly. Ex pecting possible catcalls, hoots, and other forms of heckling, PLOP decided to withdraw Pat Taylor as speaker. They announced that Nor man Foster would take over duties. No definite information on the actions of the Dick bloc could be ascertained last night, but it was believed that attempts were being made to withdraw certain candi dates close to election time. Helen Brugman and Jeanette Hafner were mentioned as possibilities. Brooks and Hoffman also were be lieved to have been contacted. Lowry (jets Class Plum The Sederstrom bloc removed one possibility of a split in their group by putting up Phil Lowry for president of the senior class. Lowry had been mentioned as a possible candidate for the exec committee, and said yesterday af ternoon that he would run If he could feel sure that the entire (Please turn to page jour) Phi Betes Choose 14 Seniors Rasor Has Highest Grade Point With 3.77; Powers Gets $25 Prize Fourteen members of the senior class outstanding in scholarship, were elected to membership in Ore gon Alpha chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholas tic fraternity, at1 a meeting held yesterday afternoon in the faculty room of S.
