'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.

post he became identified with the
growing University of Oregon un
der President C. H. Chapman.
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.

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.”

Fun anrl frivolity will reign at

A large merry-go-round is being
brought from Salem in four trucks,
according to Marionbeth Wolfen
den, general chairman of the af
fair. The merry-go-round, whose
capacity is 50 passengers, will
shine forth in the glory of its 243
lights in front of the Igloo. It will
be set up Friday and will be op
erated all day Saturday as well as
Saturday night.
This year’s fun festival has
taken on a professional tinge with
the assistance of regular show
men in Eugene and Salem.
Besides this feature attraction
will be the selling of supper dates
and dances with the 20 belles of
Eldorado City, otherwise known as
the best dates on the campus.
New System Inaugurated
Supper dates with these girls
will be sold in a new way, Aidda

to tradition they have been auc

winners.

ed in keeping with the general
theme of Eldorado. The commit
tees from the different houses will
meet today at 4 with Dorothy
Magnuson, chairman of booths, at
the College Side to present their
final plans.
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.

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.
