i Libby Brands CMTC Bill As Extravagant Rerent Visitor on Campus Views Measure Idea Out as I’lan To Relieve Poor; Expense Would Be About $250 Per Recruit (Editor’s note: Because Mr. i Libby was a guest on the cam pus only a few days ago, his ar ticle is of special interest to those who met and heard him. i By FREDERICK J. LIBBY (Executive Secretary, National Council for Prevention of War I IN February the senate voted to J add $22,000,000 to the army appropriation bill for the citizens’ military training camps with the avowed purpose, as expressed by Senator Couzens, of giving relief to 88,000 of the so-called “vagrant” boys. In realty, the measure pro posed will do nothing of the kind, is indefensibly extravagant as a relief measure, and is a menacing step towards universal military training which our country has re jected as a policy. In substantiation of the first of these charges we have the text it self of the amendment which Sen ator Couzens inserted into the sec tion of the army appropriation bill that deals with citizen’s military training camps. He moved to , strike out $2,500,000,” the sum that had been substituted by the house for the million dollars which ex-President Hoover had recom mended and to insert the follow ing: $22,000,000 Expense “Twenty-four million five hun dred thousand dollars, of which $22,000,000 (of which $5,000,000 shall be immediately available > shall be available only for camps of at least 12 months’ duration in which applicants are accepted only if over 15 years of age and under 21 years of age, and if unemployed at the time of application and for six months previous thereto.” Only in speeches of Senator Cou zens and others is there reference to the “roving” boys. The test of the bill plainly will admit any boy between the ages of 15 and 21 who has been unemployed for six months, subject to the rules now governing citizens’ military train ing camps which exclude negroes and the physically unfit. $250 Per Recruit As a relief measure the proposal is grossly extravagant since it al lows $250 per boy which nearly five times the amount allowed un der normal emergency relief to a family of four. And remember that only the better class of boys will be admitted, not those that need it most. As a relief measure in times when the country is de manding economy it is indefensi ble. The bill is a dangerous step to ward fixing upon us a system of universal military training. Since most boys between 15 and 18 are unemployed, the proposed bill will lure from home may such boys at tracted by the glamour of good food and a year’s military training and will tempt hard-pressed par ents to send them to camp to es cape the burden of supporting them. Instead of 88,000 boys, the war department posters will bring applications from five times that number. Soon congress will be flooded with petitions from all over the country to make greatly increased appropriations to take care of the surplus and a system of one-year military training on a large scale will be' fastened on our country before this depression is over. As for the “roving" boys, noth ing will compel them to go to camp, and nothing will compel them to stay there if they don’t like the discipline. Besides, under C. M. T. C. regulations, a selective process will determine who shall go to camp. Senator Reed ex plained this in the debate saying, “The army is not a reform school.” Students at Iowa Protest Cuts in Budget by Rioting IOWA CITY, la., April 5.— (Special) — Fifteen hundred University of Iowa students last week overwhelmed police and stormed downtown streets protesting bills in the Iowa legislature cutting the annual ' appropriation for the school by 50 per cent. The students particularly ob jected to salary cuts recom mendeu by the Iowa house for their instructors. Pres. Walter Jessup, now drawing $17,500, would be reduced to $7,500 un der the bill passed by the house. Attempts by police to quell the demonstration were futile. The students swarmed into the business district, stopping all traffic and scattering handbills setting forth their gri»'-aE''ec ... th'v wen*. I " • 1 1 BOB GUILD ; “Maodchen in Uniform" deserves j its plaudits. Its dramatization is i excellent; its subject matter diffi j cult and delicately handled. Eu gene duplicated San Francisco and 1 New York reactions last night at j the Colonial by filling the house I and standing in line. The audi j ence was not disappointed. The story of the repressions and starvations of a school of girls is stranglcy moving—and the pic I ture throughout is motivated by a j spirit of sincerity and truth.

Its beauty and obvious sincerity obviates ordinary censorship. * :J: £ “Topaze,” too, has been given wonderful notices by critics wher ever it has been shown. Barry more, himself, picked it as a role he chose above all other for his first effort of the 1933 season, and his showing is said to justify his choice. Myrna Loy gets just a bit out of her usual unsympathetic screen self, to hold up her end of the bargain. McDonald. * * # Impish G. B. Shaw is spreading his usual amount of sunshine ; around behind him in America— Hollywood coming in for its antici pated amount of quippage. His ap pearance in Hollywood reduced Ann Harding to an emotional dis solution—when he casually accused her ex-dramatic master, Jasper Decter of Hedgerow of pirating a performance, and then went his way smiling. Miss Harding quit the set to have a good cry. So it seems they do it off the stage, too. * * * Louisiana's “Klngfish”—-- Huey Long gets himself some more limelight this summer, when Ed ward G. ■Robinson makes his new est pictum "The Kingfish."

Great days. I_ Alpha Delta Sigma ANN-REED BUI^NS Editor's note—This is one of a series of articles being writ ten describing honorary organi zations on the University of Oregon campus. For the present day college man who intends to enter some phase of the advertising field, the thing which after graduation will give him a good boost towards success is membership in Alpha Delta Sig ma, national professional adver tising fraternity. Not only is Alpha Delta Sigma a stepping stone to achievement in that alumni members will help a graduate obtain a position, but also in the fact that members are of the type most likely to suc ceed, only those being chosen who have shown the greatest ability. A member of Alpha Delta Sigma is selected for his present inter est, ability, and future possibili ties in advertising, as well as for his personal character. The grades of the candidate play a minor part in the selection, the man himself being considered foremost. Work in advertising on the campus, such as soliciting ads for the Emerald and Oregana, and the advertising courses taken are important ele ments in the choosing of new mem bers. There is no requirement as to the major of a candidate, so long as he has taken a number of advertising courses, and intends to enter the advertising field. Initiation is held fall and spring terms, five or six men being taken each time. Juniors and a few sophomores are generally chosen, although in exceptional cases out standing seniors are also elected. The initiation itself is a test of a | man's ability—for of the $15 fee required, 10 must be earned at “hard labor,” the pledge making signboards to carry around town and sell to the merchants. The other $5 he is allowed to get for himself in any manner. During the year Alpha Delta Sigma is sponsor of several acti vities: giving the well-known dance, Krazy Kopy Krawl, winter term; and conducting the annual advertising conclave in the spring —a meeting of advertising and newspaper men on the Pacific coast. Every January the fra ternity is host at a banquet for all who attend the press confer ence, held here annually. Meetings are held once a week: a luncheon in the College Side with some prominent advertising man as speaker one week; and a business meeting the next. Dur ing the year Alpha Delta Sigma is sponsor of two benefits, and together with Gamma Alpha Chi, women’s advertising honorary, gives a joint picnic and two joint banquets. Alpha Delta Sigma was founded in 1913 at the University of Mis- j souri, this chapter being installed in 1924. There are at present 19 members at the University of Ore gon, the officers as follows: presi dent, Mahr Reymers; vice-presi dent,, Ed Cross; secretary-treas urer, Tom Tongue; advisor, Prof. 1 W. F. G. Thacher. STUDENTS MUST WATCH j CONDUCT ON 3.2% BEER, (Continued from Page One) beer sales.

Ciga | rettes vary greatly in mildness because I they vary greatly in the quality of tobaccos | used. Mildness, as well as character and good taste, depends upon the quality of tobaccos used. It is a fact, well known by leaf tobacco experts, that Camels are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE to baccos than any other popu lar brand. This is the most important statement ever made in a cigarette advertisement. Weigh its words. Consider what it means. Smoke Camels critically and learn to appreciate what costlier tobaccos can mean to you in mildness, in throat-ease ... in added pleasure! Other cigarettes, we believe, will taste flat and insipid to you forever after.
