Bryant Claims Sacrifice For Peace Is Profitable A stimulating exchange of ideas on the American international problem was the keynote of the final forum on peace education held by University of Oregon students yesterday in Gerlinger hall with retired navy officer Lieutenant-Commander Stewart F. Bryant as he spoke at a general assembly earlier in the morning. Perhaps the soundest bit of evidence that the peace-insurance seekers elicited from the foreign-relations authority was his contention that nearly as great a sacrifice will be demanded of the American people to aivoid war as to fight one, with the difference that a sacrifice for peac ewould be con structive to civilization, while the latter would entail the utter de struction of culture. Questions Answered Questioned by students, under the leadership of Dr. ictor P. Mor ris, Bryant pointed out that the duty of the individual lies in four spheres of action: First, he maintained, it is neces sary to determine which of the directing voices are worth listening to ... . and which are worthless. Second, to discover the twenty most trustworthy publications on 'current affairs and to read them faithfully. , Active Interest Needed He also recommended that the individual take an active part in affairs of government . . . and to elect persons to office who realize to the fullest extent the responsi bility they hold. The fourth function of the indi vidual is to realize the importance of establishing an international1 center. The League of Nations, the lieu tenant - commander declared, has become an integral, if in many re spects an imperceptable, part of the picture of international rela tions. League is Hope Nationalism, he believes, is only a part of a rapidly changing phase of life. The League of Nations is the first indication of the next phase of the world picture, which will be based on an evolution of internationalism. Th efirst of Oregon’s attempts at peace education closed with the post-assembly discussion which is rapidly becoming an accepted part of each lecture at the University. The result of this interchange of ideas will probably not be mani fest at once, but it is the hope of the campus organizations which sponsored the discussions that fur ther activity along tlfe same lines will avert the catastrophe of an other war. “Man is no longer a personality but a civil war. There is always a conflict within him, between his animal heritage and his spiritual heritage.” Dr. William A. Eddy, president of Hobart and William Smith college, describes the indi vidual of 1938. Evolution Process Unfolded bq Huestis Gondon Club Hears of Geographic Effect On Anatomy Dr. R. R. Huestis, professor of zoology, spoke at a meeting of the Condon club last night on the top ic, “The Geographic Distribution pf Fauna.” Speaking to a group interested in geography and geology, Dr. Huestis told of some of the factors of natural selection which have been operating over long periods of geologic time. He also gave instances of differences which can be found today, due to even rela tively slight differences in the geographical factors of climate, vegetation, elevation, and others. Slight variations in these fac tors, according to Dr. Huestis, have been responsible for anatomi cal changes, feeding and breeding habits, and even pronounced dif ferences in color of the animals which are distributed about the world. Several mouse skins were shown to illustrate the ability of these animals to adapt their colors to their surroundings. Frctnzen, Smith Tell About Engagement Iris Franzen, Oregon City, an nounced her engagement to James Smith, Eugene, at dinner last night at the Alpha Delta Pi soror ity. Miss Franzen is a senior in English, and has been prominent in several campus dramatic pro ductions. Smith, who is the elder son of Professor Warren D. Smith, is a member of Sigma Alpha Ep silon. Washke Will Attend Father's Funeral Paul R. Washke, professor of physical education at the Univer sity, left yesterday for Bellingham, Wash., where he will attend the funeral of his father who has just died after an illness of ser/eral months. His father, John Washke, was a well-known ctiizen of Bellingham and had lived there for many years. mitmmiiBBi Look Gay IN FRESH, CLEAN SUMMER THINGS Besides being easy on the budget, the Eugene Laundry is easy on your light I summer things.

By DOUG PARKER Something new coming up next year in the line of cinema enter tainment. Several college men are making arrangements for a cam pus newsreel service. Oregon scene in natural color: that’s the aim. Bruce Nidever and Don Hunter are backing the enterprise. Bruce will be head cameraman and Hun ter will handle sound equipment. And incidentally the expensive sound equipment is already here. A new $400 camera will be pur chased this summer. It will be along the line of the March of Time and will be shown at the Heilig for the first^ four days of the week and at the May- j flower during the weekend.. A. j West Johnson, manager of the1 Heilig, favors the plan (and could you blame him—monya, monya!) Campus commentators will be chosen some time this spring or before production begins next fall. Laura Bryant has already been selected as fashion editor. • The negative celluloids will be sent to Hollywood for the color processing. Only four days will be necessary to ship them down, de velop the film, and send them back. Sports will be the main attrac tion. Football games, yes, and even basketball games will be shown. Class of '13 Aims at 100 Mark At Silver Anniversary Reunion One hundred or bust! Come all you fraternal brothers of the class of 1913; the lid of the big blow-off is about to unceremoniously arise! This and similar forms of subtle proselyting Carlton Spencer, professor of law, in cooperation with many no less enthusiastic alums, has been dispensing for the last five years. _ Five years ago at the twentieth reunion of the class of 1913 plans were made, according to Mr. Spencer, “for the greatest reunion that Henderson to Make Flower Collection With the cooperation of Mrs. K. W. Onthank, L. F. Henderson, curator of the herbarium, is now making a reconnaissance of the flowering plants in the Big Fall Creek region. Although he does not expect to find new plants there, Mr. Hender son believes he will come across some very interesting and rare specimens. The survey will prob ably take until July or August, with the bontanists making trips every few weeks to collect'flowers in their blossoming season. i has ever been held on the University of Oregon campus.” Since then, in fact since this spring Elmer Fansett, alumni director, in an ef fort to spur on “more alums back to Oregon” has tried to start some friendly competition between the several classes planning reunions. With the motto “One hundred or bust,” however, says Mr. Spencer, “The class of 1913 is so far ahead of the other reunioning classes there is no competition.” “As a further enticement,” says Ed Bailey, class of ’13 prexy, “Dean Schwering has given her absolute promise that all Pan-Hell enic rules will be off for our visit and we won’t have to get in until 9:30 p.m.” u N F I L V 0 E R R I s s I T TS Y Corsages Flowers Phone 654 598 E. 13th
