( The project was sponsored and carried through by the co-recrea tion committee of the University, composed of Miss Warrine East burn, Carolyn Dudley, and A1 Long, who represent the Women’s Atheltic association and the Men’s Physical Education club. Better Than Ever A survey of opinion on the pro ject taken as the players adjourned to the tank for a swim disclosed an overwhelming approval of the evening. In point of view of num bers participating, this all-campus recreation night was more success ful than the one last year. Before the end of the term, men and women of the University will have an opportunity to take part in a co-educational bowling night. Just for fun, there was also ping-ponj:,' folk dancing, and shuf ^ fleboard.'

Pasmore and Trerice were so en thusiastically received when they appeared in a summer concert in Eugene, two years ago, that the Associated Students made arrange ments for their return performance this year. According to reports, it took a great deal of piano moving before these two artists found two pianos which satisfied them from the standpoint of similarity and deli cacy of tones, which are so neces sary in recording their brilliant technique. As an added feature of their well-balanced program Pasmore and Trerice will play a selection, “Valse - Burlesque,” which was written and arranged for them by George Hopkins of the school of music. Students will be admitted to the concert upon presentation of their student body cards at the door. Youth Hostel Heads Will Visit Campus Color Movie of Young Folks' Group Will Be Shown The thrill of hiking, bicycling, canoeing, skiing, or travelling by horseback through off-the-main highroads trails in America and foreign countries will be discussed and illustrated Friday by John Hanna, American Youth Hostel' field secretary, and Miss Nancy Reasoner of the national headquar ters in Northfield, Massachusetts, Miss Florencq D. Alden, professor of physical education, said yester day. Mr. Hanna and Miss Reasoner will appear before Miss Alden’s playground and community recre ation leadership class at 10 o’clock Friday in the faculty room at Friendly. They will also be guests at a luncheon at Seymour’s. Bringing with them a movie of the activities at various youth hostels, they will discuss the possi bilities of developing a chain of youth hostels between Eugene and Portland. The youth hostel movement was started in the United States in 1934 in Northfield by Isabel and Monroe Smith. Briefly stated, the purpose of the movement is to “help young people to a greater knowledge of the world” by estab lishing refuges or overnight stop ping places off the main highways so that young people can travel through more country and meet more people. The movement is also designed to give more young people the chance to travel through the minimizing of expense. Both meetings are open to those interested in the youth hostels, Miss Alden said. Reservations should be made by Friday morning at Miss Alden’s office. Education Honorary Elects Members New members were recently elected to Phi Delta Kappa, men's professional education fraternity. A partial list of the initiates are Francis Beck, Robert Anderson, Oscar Williams, Kenneth Ruth, Fred Pankey, Clifton White, and Richard Mingler. \ Executive Committee Okeys Term Reform Bill for Legislature Group Authorizes Action to Remove Technicality Preventing Change to New System; May Abolish Senior Finals What the executive committee did: 1. Accepted invitation of Bob Walker, OSO student proxy, to attend conference of student officers Friday 3 and 4. 2. Authorized Weston and Kemler to contact Walker on two-se mester plan, with a view toward getting the present building fee law amended. 3. Decided to discuss the possibility of eliminating senior exams with h representative of the senior class. 4. Received copies of rally and yell squad reform plans to be passed on next week. 5. Awarded a minor “O” to Ees Harger. 6. Approved appointment of Eggert “Dutch” Roliwer as senior football manager for 1939. In an action-packed meeting, the executive committee turned out an unprecedented amount of student business yesterday afternoon at the Anchorage. Moving quickly in support of Vice-Kemler’s two-term proposal, the committee decided to side-step a campaign among students and faculty members immediately, in favor of working toward removing the present legal technicality which makes a change impossible. Focal point of the ASUO gover nor’s attack on the three-term set up will be the state building fee law, which at present states that; $5 per student be collected each term or semester. The committee decided to authorize Zane Kemler to get a bill drawn up which would make it possible for the change to be made without upset ting collection of the building fees. To Introduce Amendment Prexy Weston was requested to act with Bob Walker, OSC student president who has reacted favor ably to the plan, in getting' the amendment introduced into the state legislature. The committee decided upon quick action to get the legal tech nicality out of the way as soon as possible. Notice that the faculty had supported the change several years ago, and that an interinsti tutional committee had also been sympathetic to the semester plan, influenced this decision. Reform Plans Submitted The complete rally and yell squad reform plans, as drawn up by Dick Williams, present yell leader, were submitted to the com mittee by Prexy Weston. Discus sion was limited, however, as the ASUO officials plan to study re form thoroughly and pass on the measures next Wednesday. Weston indicated that the new regulations would be completed then and would be put in effect the next day, January 26, when a new yell leader will probably be elected at a mass meeting of ASUO members. The executive committee accept ed en masse an invitation from the OSC to attend a conference of stu dent leaders of various state insti ! tutions of higher learning, at Cor vallis February 3 and 4. Problems of student government will be dis cussed in open forums. Special problems will be taken up at com mittee meetings during the two day session. May Drop Finals Expressing interest in the in formal discussions among mem bers of the senior class in regard to the dropping of final exams spring term, the committee decid ed to appoint a committee to dis cuss the situation with represen tatives of the class of 1939, Elisa beth Stetson was appointed chair man. Les Harger, who served as drum major for the Oregon band last term, was awarded a minor letter. Huffaker to Speak At Education Meet Dr. C. L.

Steiner Americans Branded Self-Seeking People American people are one of the most “unpatriotic” peoples in the world, said Eev. Richard M. Stein er, minister of the Church of Our Father (Unitarian) in Portland, last night at Gerlinger hall. The American people, Rev. Steiner said, are contemptuous of their government: they think of it as an agency through which to get something for themselves. They do not, he saicf, have so passionate a loyalty to the idea of democracy as the citizens of a totalitarian state have to the idea of totali tarianism. Amercian people demand that a person salute the flag of the Unit ed States, that upon becoming cit izens of this country they forswear allegiance to their fatherland. They say that their government is the best government on the earth; yet beyond that they do not go, Rev. Steiner complained. Rev. Steiner saw a solution in considering democracy as a social instrument counteracting the promise of security, symbols of the totalitarian leaders.

And this time they left no issue for controversy as they poured basket after basket through the hoop to swamp Washington State’s Cougars, 57 to 31, in a northern division game at Pullman last night be fore 7000 fans. The win was the second straight for the Ducks over the Cougars. Friday and Saturday nights the Ducks conclude the present road trip in a two-game series with Idaho’s Vandals at Moscow. Tuesday night, the Ducks had to come from behind to drop the Staters, but last night the Ducks took command from the start, and never were they even challenged by a bewildered Cougar club. Ducks Run Wild Off in their shooting, Jack Friel’s Giants battled furiously during the first period only to see the Ducks drive down the floor time after time to ring up baskets. Tall Laddie Gale, the star of Tuesday night’s game, and Johnny Dick, burly forward, were the big guns in tile Webfoot attack which literally ran the Cougars off the court, but the whole Duck club had the scoring range. Dick was the night’s high scorer with 14 points, followed by Gale who dropped 12. At halftime, Oregon led by a 31-to-17 count, and for a long 10 minutes after intermission the WSC total failed to gain a single point as Oregon’s speedy boys re sorted to a tight man-to-man de fense to thwart Cougar offensive efforts. Anet Leads Off Anet led off at the start of the second period with a driving goal, and Gale and Dick followed up with two one-handers to bring Oregon's total to 37.
