If the League of Nations dis armament conference at Geneva fails in its purpose, Germany will have a right to claim that the Allies are not fulfilling their part of the arms agreement of the Ver sailles treaty, Ohmart said. Ger- j many would then start a program of armaments that would precipi tate an arms race among all the j world powers. “With these condi tions existing, only a slight ex cuse would be sufficient to start a war; and with present methods , of warfare, that may mean the destruction of civilization,” Oh-' mart averred. The United States spends over | seven hundred million dollars yearly, or about two million dol- ; lars a day, on armaments; this would do a great deal to relieve present economic distress, Ohmart said. In the discussion which followed the introduction, Roy McMullen argued that armament is not the primary cause of war. Education | on world problems is the real need, [ he said. George Bennett quoted William G. Sumner, who says, [ “War conies when two peoples1 want the same thing and only one ; can get it.” He thinks the Man churian conflict exemplifies this theory. Ohmart was accepted as a mem ber of the club, since he had ful filled the requirements by pres ence at three meetings and intro ducing a subject. David Williams was chosen to start the discussion at the next meeting, which will be the first week in the winter term. His subject has not been selected. Varsity Debater To Meet December 8, Friendly Hall Regular varsity debate meeting will be held Tuesday, December 8, at 4 o’clock in room 2 Friendly hall. The tentative schedule for this year is as follows: In the northern conference, University of Washing ton, Washington State, Whitman, Oregon State; in the southern con ference, University of California, Stanford University of Southern California, U C. L. A., Pomona, and the University of Arizona. No definite question has been decided on to debate, but it will cover some phase of economic planting commission. Aspirants for the team should begin collect ing material on the subject and have some knowledge of it by the time of the meeting Tuesday. MANAGERS TO MEET The House Managers associa tion will be guests of Delta Tau Delta at a dinner and business meeting tonight. The dinner will begin at 6 o’clock. Those members who will be unable to attend are asked to notify Orville Garrett at the Delta Tau Delta house before 4 o’clock Thursday. BRANDED By Her Crimson Past! I Sinned against but not sin- g ning. Her beauty challenged I men—her birth challenged I marriage! f I w.ith ■ Rose Hobart Ben Lyon Juliette Compton ■■T^Ciaude Gillicgwater Q HEILIG Karas:' IN THE PRESS BOX with Walt Baker •—.. ITH the current football season about over on the Coast here how, it becomes about time for the Pacific Coast conference fac ulty representa tives to get to gether for their annual meeting. It will be re membered that the last time that they met—a special meeting in Portland some two months ago— Joe Lillard was the sum and sub stance of the action that went on there. At least that was all that this body saw fit to give out for publication. This coming meeting ought to brew something. Butler has been hotfooting it all around to each of the ten conference schools and ff his sub-rosa actions have as much weight at other institutions as they did here—the lid will no doubt be blown off a few subjects. As yet no notice has come to the Uni versity concerning what actions will be taken up—they probably won’t be publicized anyway, but it’s a good story. Couple this with the reams and reams of protests and near-pro tests that have been shot back and forth between practically every school concerned in the meeting, it should be a good get-together to be able to sit in on. WHO’LL START THINGS? Another angle to this same thing is whether or not anyone will have the intestinal fortitude to advance anything like the real information upon conditions as they exist. At the last meeting, the alleged purpose of the entire affair was carefully avoided and side-stepped — everyone was ex tremely careful not to tread on any toes by bringing up the North ern “gentleman’s agreement” and the similar conditions existing down South. It is also entirely possible that this meeting will get around in the same way—Butler or no Butler. Presumably, he has no authority outside for recommending that certain measures be adopted—but then THAT may be just for pub ; lication also. The meeting takes place during December 14, 15, and 16—three days that will probably be either a throat-cutting contest or a back slapping bee—take your choice. COURTESY AT OREGON In the midst of all the threats and veiled declarations swinging back and forth between here and Corvallis it is gratifying to 'know that at least one item at the Uni versity is able to please the Beav ers. Coming to the graduate man ager's office yesterday was a let ter signed by Bert Smiley, senior football manager for O. S. C., con gratulating the managerial system here and paying it the high com pliment of being the finest on the Coast. Meeting the situation in all fairness, such statements com ing from O. S. C. are real prais£ indeed. It seems that the Oregon State team received better treatment here than at any of the other schools included in their itinerary for the past football season. Cour tesy emanating from the Univer sity has been in the past one of the reasons why the Webfeet have the hospitable name that they have on the Coast. Last year, the Washington base ball manager, Lee dwell, bringing his team down here for the series, made the comment that he could be sure that all the equipment of the Huskies would be the best taken care of and his team admin istered to the last measure better at Oregon than at any other place I where the team visited. 'Journey's End' To Be Staged By All-Men's Cast Next Term Epic of Days in Trenches Chosen for Next Play; Rehearsals Start An all-men’s cast will present “Journey’s End,” which will be the next prtoduction of the Guild thea tre season, announced Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, head of the drama depart ment, yesterday. The celebrated war play which made such a smashing hit in London and New York a short time ago will be ready for presentation early in January, Mrs. Seybolt said. The theme of the play is pecu liarly suited to the present time when the talk of war once more fills the air in various parts of the world. It is a stern pointed docu ment against war, one of the most moving dramas presented on the English speaking stage in many years. “Journey's End” was written originally for amateurs, with no thought of commercial production. Its author, R. C. Sherriff, is a young Englishman who served in the World war, and at the time of writing, he was making his living as an insurance assessor in Lon don. He worked on this play in spare moments over a period of many months simply with the idea of providing a bill for an amateur I acting organization. “He seemed not at all aware,” i to quote the editor of the Theatre, i “that he was producing an epic of battle, sudden death , and soul wrenching emotion that would make him famous and lift him out of the dull routine of his insurance i office job to place him beside the | masters of life as the stage may present it.” Writing with simplic ity and restraint, both of dialogue and action, he achieved a play of enormous power and sombre beau ty. It is moving by its very sin cerity and sympathetic under standing of the emotions of the men waiting in the trenches wait ing to be called into action. It is a play, not of the flag wav ing and cheering which urges men into the conflict, but of the strange uncanny silences which precede violent combat. “I expect it’s all very strange to you,” the fatherly i older officer, Osborne, says tc young Raleigh, just from training j school and arriving in the front line trenches for the first time “It is not exactly what I thought It’s just this—this quiet that seems so funny,” answers the boy. It is on that awful quiet in which each | side silently prepares for attack that the suspense of the play is built. The cast for “Journey's End” has j been chosen and will be announcec soon, Mrs. Seybolt said yesterday. Part of the cast is now in rehear sal and is already giving promise cf a very fine performance, accord ing to Mrs. Seybolt, who says she has been looking forward to mak ing this production ever since the play was published. One Point Average Is Set For Sorority Initiations 16 Points Minimum Necessary for Membership A one-point average will be re quired for initiation into all soror ities, according to a determination arrived at in a meeting of the heads of houses yesterday noon. A minimum of 16 points total will also be necessary. Any girl carrying under 16 hours must make a higher average than a straight “C” to make house grades. These requirements are practically the same as under the old system of grading where 45 points formed the minimum amount. “We chose these requirements because we thought it the fairest average to take,” Janice Hedges, president of the Heads of Houses, said. “This was also suggested by Howard R. Taylor, professor of psychology. If a need arises we may have to change the require ments,” she explained. Varsity, Frosh Mermen To Convene Tomorrow All men interested in varsity or freshman swimming are to have a meeting tomorrow at 4:30 p. m. in the men’s gym. Lettermen and numeral men, all those who would like to show their wares as swim mers, and all those interested in diving and water polo are urged to make their presence known to Jack Hewitt, coach of the varsity and frosh natators and water polo ists. Whether Oregon will actually compete in meets with other schools on the coast is problemati cal. The fate of the teams will not be decided for at least two weeks and has been delayed all this time due to lack of knowledge as to whether the financial condi tion of athletics here would be ade quate in supporting Webfoot swim ming squads.

Oregon has always had a large delegation to the Seabeck confer ences and has played a prominent part in Y. W. C. A. activities of this region. It is hoped that every cabinet member will be able to at tend the Seabeck conference this coming summer. Italian Student To Speak Before Fellowship Group Nella Roster Plans Discussion of Foreign Campi Nella Roster will be the princi pal speaker at the meeting of the World Fellowship group which will be held tonight at 8:45 in the Y.

Expert Auto Dieticians OREGON Service Station 111 It and IJilyard l"— R. B. Porter Discusses Future Of India, Gandhi’s Program Announcement that Mahatma Gandhi will resume his program of civil disobedience, non-violence, and non-cooperation brings to R. B. Porter, secretary of the Uni versity Y. M. C. A., fears that a dismal future is in store for Gan ! dhi's country. Gandhi himself fears that he will again be thrown into prison if he starts further agitation for passive civil disobedience against the British government in India. “His chief concern in this respect is that the fiery element in the Nationalist party will resort to violence and the British will then launch a military campaign to bring the country under control. If this happens, there will un doubtedly be great loss of life, and India's hope for freedom will prac tically vanish," Mr. Porter said. Mr. Porter, who spent five years in missionary work in India, thinks the greatest question in the pres ent situation is not a question of the effectiveness of the non-vio lence policy, but a question of how long the program can continue. The radical group in the National- j ist party is composed of young men, many of whom are college graduates at present unemployed. They contend that the only force recognized by the Western world is the force of arms, and that India will not win its fight until it has an army as strong as that of the British. The two other unknown factors in the future progress of India’s struggle are the temperament of the new viceroy, Lord Willingdon, and the question of the ruling party in London. If a complete Tory rule is established, the atti tude toward India will probably be sharp and unyielding, Mr. Por ter believes. 0 The immediate reason for .the failure of the London round-table conference was the disagreement between Gandhi and the represent atives of other political factions who accompanied him to England, Mr. Porter continued. He attrib uted the difficulty mainly, how ever, to the basic fact that Gandhi felt from the beginning that the British government would be un willing to give up its military and financial control of India. The policy of the Nationalist party is shown by an open letter sent to the British government by C. R. Das, a Nationalist leader and lord mayor of Calcutta. Mr. Porter quoted it in part: “You may ride over us with your horses; you may shoot us down with your machine guns; you may beat us with your clubs, but we will not raise a hand against you. The world will see what kind of people you are and will come to our support.” Mr. Porter was at Lucknow, India, from 1923 to 1928. He fol lows the Indian side of the present controversy by reading the Indian Social Reformer, which he re ceives regularly from Bombay.
