United Front 'Strike' Given Oiticail Okay Demonstration to Be Planned Tonight; No Classes Are Cut This Year Permission to unite with other pacifists across the nation was given to the local committee for the student strike against war yesterday afternoon when the fac ulty assembly committee voted unanimously to sanction a meet ing for 11 a.m., Wednesday, April 27, to be held on the terrace in the women’s dormitory quadran gle. It was not decided whether the affair would be a “demonstration” or a “strike”, but the faculty de cision will apply to either. A de cision as to direction and tile of the affair and other matters will be decided at a meeting of the strike committee Wednesday night at 9 p.m. at Westminster house. The committee members—Mark Trumbo, Vic Goff, Ted Pursley, Kenneth Leatherman, Gordon Con nelly, and Oi'van Etter—asked only that the affair have faculty approval instead of seeking dis missal of all classes. Those stu dents who have convictions against the method of war will be asked to walk out of their 11: o’clock classes, according to ten tative plans. Faculty members present were Dean Karl W. On thank, chairman; j Dan E. Clark, E. H. Moore, and H. G. Townsend. Bob Garretson's (Continued from pane one) Ravel’s rippling “The Foun tain,” and the modernistic "March" by Prokofieff were included on the program. The gentle Liszt “Forest Murmurings” was given with admirable control of tone. One of the most popular numbers on the program was the Gersh win “Two Preludes,” a classical selection with a modern swing. The program was concluded with Moszkowski’s lively “Spanish Ca price.” Two encore numbers concluded the concert, Guyon’s “Harmonica Player,” and the popular “Little White Donkey.” Since his appearance here last year, Mr. Garretson’s technique has remarkably improved, with the result that his deftness and skill ful touch are his outstanding mu sical characteristics.

During all his lifetime, Dr. Young was motviated by a keen sense of the responsibility which the individual owes the common wealth. He personally edited each of the twenty-nine volumes of the “Commonwealth Review,” which he founded in 1916. One of the instigating forces be hind the Oregon Historical society, Dr. Young was among the first to realize the importance of the history of the Oregon country, and was a member of the Lewis and Clark commission. In 1920 he was given the highest honorary degree conferred by the University of Oregon—that of Doc tor of Laws. Aside from his public duties, Dr. Young was successful in the culti vation of one of the largest nut orchards in the Northwest . Just prior to his. death, he was looking forward to a plan for con ducting a survey of the resources of the state. This project is still being carried on. Leslie M. Scott, formerly asso ciate editor of the Portland Ore gonian and United States marshall, said of Dr. Young in the “Frederick Young Memorial Edition” of the Commonwealth Review, “Oregon people in seeking the history of their commonwealth will ever read the pages of Professor Young. 'Pledge Day' (Continued from page one) first time the words of the pledge, written by Dr. Frederick G. Young, sociologist, who is honored as founder of the Oregon Com monwealth conference. Governor Oswald West, at that time head of the ship of state, read' the pledge at that first ceremony. The observance was carried on from year to year, until it became a tradition at Oregon. But ihe 1929 Pledge Day, when Governor Patterson administered the oath, and when Rabbi Henry J. Berkowitz of Portland addressed the student body, was the last on record. Why do we no longer formally promise our loyalty and coopera tion to the commonwealth of Ore gon? Do we not, now more than ever before, need to realize our place in the society of the state? The Oregon pledge: “As a student in the University, which is maintained by the people of Oregon, I heartily acknowledge the obligation I owe. The oppor tunities open to me here for se curing training, ideals and vision for life, I deeply appreciate, and regard as a sacred trust, and do hereby pledge my honor that it shall be my most cherished pur pose to render as bountiful a re turn to the Oregon people and their posterity, in faithful and ar dent devotion to the common good, as will be in my power. It shall be the aim of my life to labor for the highest good and glory of an ever greater commonwealth.” DEAN SCHWERING ELECTED Hazel P. Schwering, dean of women, was elected president of the Western Association of Deans of Women at the western confer ence at Pullman, April 13, 14, and 15.

Cactus Gardening Popular in South Something new under the sun in fads was disclosed by Professor F. P. Sipe, of the botany depart ment, when he reported that a great deal of interest is now being displayed in cactus gardening in the southern part of the United States. Whole cactus gardens are being planted and' rivalry exists among gardeners who compete for the widest variety of plants. Since the cactus family is native of the western hemisphere, it is practically unknown in Europe, and the fad threatens to spread tc the continent because efforts are now being made to transplant cacti there. I Lock-up Time Is Complicated For Secretary — Five o’clock, time to lock up i and go home. Yet Mrs. Mabel Houck, secretary-librarian at the art school, sighed regret fully. Not that she wasn’t glad that it was 5 so that she could go home, “But just watch,” she groaned, and took out her keys. She turned to a filing cabinet, locked one drawer, took another key to lock the second, another for the third, another for the I fourth, and another for the fifth. Then around the desk to a second cabinet, she came, and repeated the ritual. Back to the desk, she tucks the keys securely in a small drawer, locks it with another, and finally uses another key to lock the top drawer. Twelve keys to lock an office just slightly larger than an or dinary clothes closet. That’s a record! There’s one hope that she fer vently clings to, said Mrs. Houck, and that is that she will get a common key.
