Brown’s Topic For Assembly Is Announced Relation of Europe an<l Pacific Problem W ill Be Subject of Famous Political Authority Bv IRVIN MANN “Interrelation of Pacific anc European Problems” will be the subject of an address by Harrisor Brown, journalist and a leading authority on European and Asiatic politics, to be given at a general assembly in Gerlinger Friday at ten o’clock. Mr. Brown resided in Germany during the crucial years of the Nazi ascendency and was in close contact with the leaders of the movement. He gave the last un censored political talk to be given from Berlin a month after Hitler took control. A series of his addresses given for the Eritish Broadcasting Corp oration, entitled “Germany To day,” were voted by listening groups of the United Kingdom to be the most popular of the year and have been published in book form. Knows Diplomats Mr. Brown has recently return ed from a trip through the Scan dinavian countries, Russia, China, and Japan. He is personally ac quainted with the leading diplo mats and important men of these countries. He was for five years the Euro pean representative of the Ameri can committee for the outlawry of war, and in this capacity, attended many of the internation peace conferences at Geneva and else where. Ex-Army Man Educated in England, he enlisted in the British army in 1914, and has spent most of his life on the continent of Europe. He is a regu lar contributor to several news re views. After his regular lecture, Mr. Brown will preside at a forum meeting from 11:00 to 12:00. Classes will be dismissed for the assembly, and Friday classes or dinarily held at 10:00 will be hold Thursday at 11:00 the following week.

Tn a senior class constitution submitted last term to tho ASUO bv-laws committee by Margilec Morse, class president, it was moved to retain a relationship with the ASUO through tho judiciary committee, allowing them the power to make decisions on class controversial issues.

The vice-president’s office was left, vacant when Dave Morris, elected president last spring, left to study in Germany, automatically moving Miss Morse into the office of presi dent. Betty Coon, former secret ary, was declared ineligible at the end of the fall term. Must Petition According to old rules govern ing class elections, nominees must present petitions signed by one fourth of the class membership be fore their names can be placed on the ballot. Miss Morse announced 1 that the same procedure will be | followed for the senior class elec- j lion; petitions with the required! i number of signatures must be in j the hands of Miss Morse 2-1 hours before the nominating meeting. I The deadline has been set for 7:30 tonight. With 63 members in the; class, petitions must carry the [ names of 16 class card holders. Date of the election will be set j at the meeting tomorrow night. | Shumaker Draws (Continued from page one) the Phi Bet Kappa of such a uni versity. The boy who wants to be a leading business man in his home town of two or three thousand population would be certain of I Sigma Xi in this kind of institu tion. Perhaps this strong emphasis on the "values” the philosophers would call superficial is no more the ideal of a university than the strongly conservative conception to which the traditionalist would! hold. If these concepts fall short, j might it not be possible to ask if | a tax-supported state university, the University of Oregon, exists for the purpose of receiving the graduates of accredited high schools, and such others as may qualify equally, finding upon what intellectual level these people live, and developing their abilities to use their minds to think insofar as such a purpose may be accom plished, to the end that those who I are graduated may have some familiarity with the Great Tradi | lions of our culture, and that they may also have their eyes opened to the infinite vistas of uncharted knowledge yet to be viewed at close range by man? In such a uni versity, a minimum of machinery would seem desirable and a maxi ! mum of faculty ability not only1 ns "research men” but as excellent | teachers (doctors in the real sense), and a maximum of student I curiosity to question and probe the ' faculty to the end that the stu dents themselves should become the most vitallv functioning forces in building crontine a great im petus for developing knowledge i end mastering social relationships in a complex civilization. Such would seem to me to be the ideal university. Mitnv Prohionm to lt<» iviot I In such nn ideal university, there must he rnnnv problems met end solved which reallv lie beyond the scone of any short discussion. Means must he provided for giving courses in which material may not onlv be "taken or left” at the mercy of ten thousand factors which influence the student, but in which the intellectual levels of students are analyzed nnd their capacities accurately gauged. Diet, heredity, early "home environment, ductless glands, skeletal deformi ties, functioning of bodily organs, all the specialists of health and social situations in short, must be understood, if the conservation not only of truth but of human mater ial Is efficient. A university which makes learned fools is an archae ism in modern civilization that copes with mechanized complexity beyond the dreams of Newton. A university which produces gradu ates who become criminals or in sane does not serve society. A university which gives a student only "four years of college” robs those who pay in time and money for education. Before we learn to Third Snow Train Leaves March 7 The third snow train of the sea son, sponsored by the Obsidian ski club, will leave on March 7 for Crescent lake in the Cascade mountains. The triin will leave Eugene at 7 a. m. and be back in the city at f) p. m. Diners will ac commodate those making the trip. The train will be used as headquar ters throughout the day.

All persons wishing permits or licenses to drive cars are asked to get in touch with Mr. Bown dur :ng these hours. meet the responsibilities of higher education we must do more than "take stock" occasionally; we must really master the intricate skills of learning to know the spiritual and intellectual and emotional problems of late adolescents and give to students the opportunity to develop to the extent of which Lhey are capable of developing.

Warren Smith Voices Approval of Mining Bill Whole-hearted approval of the bill for the establishment of a new state department of geology and mineral industries, now pending in the state legislature, was voiced by Dr. Warren D. Smith in an address over KOAC Monday night. According to Dr. Smith, mining, as an industry, has been neglected because it is subordinate in im portance to lumbering and agricul ture in this state. Dr. Smith helped prepare the original of the bill, which has passed the House of Representa tives and is now being debated by the Senate. lillMlilllHlllW! aj Start Your Spring Housecleaning Now ! | n Begin at tin* Bottom with Your Shoos H W hito Shoes and Light Shoes . . . get them ready 1 _ for Spring* and warm weather. * HOWARDS SHOE REPAIR % Just below Co-op * ■ ■ B O. ■ ..a ■ ■ ■ I I I i liinu Scroggins, Oregon third.

Herbert Weast, Class of 1939, says: "Camels are a real aid. They help make the feeling of nervous pressure fade out, and get me set for a hearty meal. I work better too, since I've discovered I get a refreshing 'lift' in energy with a Camel. Camels set me right.” Enjoy Camel's costlier tobaccos the whole day through. At mealtimes Camels are an aid to digestion —speeding up the flow of digestive fluids—increasing alkalinity — bringing a sense of ease and well-being. Steady smokers prefer Camels. They are so mild!
