!Strike Against War' Name Given Oregon Peace Stand April 27 Change Made Over Two Previous Events; Only Pacifists to Cut Classes at 11 a.m. to Hear Local Student Speakers Oregon’s demonstration against war this year will be officially known as a “strike against war” rather than a “demonstration,” it was decided last night by a committee composed of representatives of various campus groups interested in the peace move. Students will take a more definite stand this year, testified by the fact that pacifists will leave their classes instead of having all classes dismissed. Meeting in Westminster house last night, the committee also decided that only local speakers would be used, insofar as the strike is intended to be a demon strative and sincere indication of the student pacifist’s determina tion never to support any war con ducted by the government. Only those who refused to sup port an American war on foreign soil will be allowed to participate in the annual Oregon students’ strike on April 27. This fact will automatically eliminate all those who favor or condone America’s joining with the so-called demo cratic nations in using any col lective action against the so-called aggressor nations, it was said. Committees Named Two committees were named last night: committee on program —Ted Pursley and Betty Brown. Committee on the call—Betty Ann Paddock, Orval Etter, and Harold Barton. The call committee will meet Friday, and the program committee sometime before Mon day. D. Harelles “Immunology.” Own er’s name and address in book. Somewhere on campus near li brary. Reward.

Meade Carl Baker Eugene Laundry Bell Basket Domestic Laundry Siberrian PATRONIZE THEM Library Receives Literature on Drugs Literature on alcohol and nar cotics has been received by the University of OregQn library from the Women’s Christian Temperance Union publishing house, according to M. H. Douglass, librarian. “Narcotics and Youth Today” is the title of one of the books of the collection, written by Robert E. Corradini. Also included in the group are pamphlets and illustrated booklets for children, containing temper ance education methods. Several of the books treat the subject from a scientific point of view. Editing Class Places First in Monthly Quiz The editing class again placed first in the monthly Time Maga zine quiz on current events. The quiz was given to all Thursday classes in the journalism school in stead of the Tuesday classes as usual. The 19.21 class average of the senior group was folowed by the 16.95 average of the 8 o’clock re porting class. Caro Cogan, Robert Dean, and Howard Kessler of the editing class got 24 of the 25 an swers correct. In third place was the 10 o’clock elementary journalism section with 15.93. Next were publishing 9 o’ clock. 15.84; reporting 11 o’clock, 15.8, and publishing 11 o’clock, Duck Tracks (Continued from page five) In addition, the conference’s smoothest infield—ignoring Wed nesday’s farce — of all-star Gale | Smith at first, Jack Coleman at second, Jack Gordon at short, and slugger Wimpy Quinn at third, is j ready. Captain Ford Mullen, a natural anywhere he plays, is a fixture for catching this season, according | to Coach Hobson, who is pleased with “Flivver’s” steady work. Mullen was all-conference third I last spring. :-i As usual, there will be prizes j galore for “firsts” in today’s big I game, but one is missing. There won’t be any bounty for I the first lad to knock a window out of the Igloo, as previously an j nounced. “The Igloo certainly won’t offer a prize for knocking one out, who would?” was a re tort at the athletic offices yester day. Foul balls hit all over McAr thur court’s south wall last season without pleasing expectant cus tomers, so the prize today would probably go uncollected anyway. Big Elmer Kolberg, Beaver full back, is in charge of opening day festivities for tomorrow in Corval lis .. . less than S00 of last year’s 2800 people here last year at the opener were paid . . . the rest were students and a few comps . . . two-thirds of the University stu dent body would be a fair esti mate for today’s crowd. Anything Goes At Saturday's Wild West Show Grab your gal or go alone to the big Eldorado celebration Saturday night, because any thing goes. Broken-hearted patrons will be welcomed by Diamond Lil herself down at her joint, which is being run by the Delta Gam mas and the Phi Gamma Del tas, where they may bolster their spirits by throwing darts at the faces of bandits painted on balloons. I Handsome bandits, bartenders, and sheriffs of the old style will be the attraction for lonely coeds. Everyone except good base ball players will be received in the best western style at the bar to be operated by Gamma Phi Beta, Gamma hall and Phi Kap pa Psi. The sport of the evening will be throwing an egg on the bartender’s head. Pony Express girls will deliver a message if the going’s too tough or one of those evasive males can’t be located. These booths and others will be judged by Dr. and Mrs. Schwering, Mrs. Alice B. Mac duff, Mr. and Mrs. George Root, Professor and Mrs. A. M. Vin cent. The winners of the cups to be given for the most origin al and busiest concessions will be announced about 11:30. Prizes that will be given dur ing the evening include dona tions from Eugene and Port land merchants. A free crank case job, a play suit, and a pearl necklace are among the more valuable prizes to be given away. Journalism School Receives Map Set The European map of the set of five maps received yesterday by the journalism school, is not new enough to recognize Austria as an annexed part of Germany. The large size maps were pur chased by the school to be used in the editing cla,ss, said Dorothy Dill, school secretary. In addition to the European map the group inculdes North America, South America, and Asia as well as one of the world. Soft-Lite Lens in Full-View are good for all spring sports ELLA. C. MEADE Optometrist Phone 330 34 West Stli St. Web foot Debaters Are Given Silent Welcome in Reno, Nev. “The Biggest Little City in the World’’ extended a silent welcome to Prof. W. A. Dahlberg and the Oregon debaters on their trip to Reno last week for a forensic contest. At 8 a.m. not a person was on the streets, but a curious humming as of many voices filled the air, says Mr. Dahlberg. They opened the door of a nearby “banking” establishment, to find crowds of people playing faro, roulette, and other gambling games. “Are these places crowded like this at 8 in the morning?” Mr. “Are these places always crowded like this at 8 in the morning?” Mr. Dahlberg asked of a native looking gentleman. “Brother,” said the native, "this is our off season.” ■At Virginia City, Nevada, the party saw the office of the Vir ginia City Enterprise, where Mark Twain had his first job as a re porter and wrote many of his now famous short stories. They also saw the mine which produced $700,000,000 in gold and silver, the Comstock Lode. On top of a high pass in the Sierra-Nevada mountains, the de baters stopped for dinner at a tav ern completely buried in snow. Entrance was through a snow tun nel guarded by a huge Malemute dog. “Reno is really a wide-open town where everything goes, especially the money,” says Mr. Dahlberg. “But the so-called glamor is real ly a false front hiding pathos and sorrow. If every married couple would include Reno on their hon eymoon trip, there would be a lot less divorces. The wife would even be willing to take in washing. Audience Encores Baritone Sutherland The senior recital of William Sutherland, University baritone and student of Paul Petri, profes sor of music, was given in the school of music auditorium last night. Sutherland, acocmpanied by Alice Holmback at the piano, pre sented three groups of .songs, from both modern and old masters. The audience called Sutherland back to the stage for two encore numbers, Keel’s “When I Think Upon the Maidens” and the old English “Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes.” \v& CV^ BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
