Unanimity for Peace
JN England students spend 1 heir spare time
building bomb-proof shelters. German col
leges, for men students at least, have taken
on many of llie aspects of military schools.
In China searchers for knowledge have
transient schools which retreat to the interior
its tlie armies of Japan advance.
In America colleges are relatively free of
militarism. In spite of the fact that a great
numebr have ItOIC noils the colleges of Ibis
country have been a spearhead of the peace
movement.
During the last few years there has been
evidence, however, of a. swing away from
anti-war principles—or at least, over to the
side oi preparedness and acceptance of war
as a necessity someti. in the future. On this
campus, for example, the activity of paeifistic
groups is considerably less Ilian il was in lfblti.
* tV£
I 1 o<Iny 1liere is more need Ilian over be
l°ri“ lor :i significant movement among col
students and among I lie population at
larf>-(> to fight against, war. The drums of war
boat over louder. The cannons'roll by in in
creasingly large number. The tramp of march
ing feet tlmnders more insistently.
Any cry of protest against these trends
is to be commended. If pacifism does not suit
one’s nature hi' should join himself to some
organization for the purpose of expressing
opposition to war.
In the light of these facts, the student
Mrihe against war, coming up April lit), pre
sents an opportunity for collegians to express
I heir feelings visibly. The program of this
nation-wide demonstratoin takes in a great
number of points; it plans concrete action.
-Many, no doubt, would disagree with some of
the points.
All, however, can agree to the common
purpose of combatting war. Action for peace
must be unanimous. Quibbling over methods
of reaching peace has weakened movements
in the past. It should not do so in the future.
Weekend Picnickers Meet
In UO Infirmary Next Day
Poison Oak Brings Rueful Nature Lovers
Together for Day-After Regrets; Four
Suffer This Week
The University infirmary is
rapidly becoming the day-after
meeting place for weekend picnick
ers. In fact, it is reminiscent of
last spring when a certain killjoy
was plaguing outdoor social life.
Common infirmary scenery is a
sheet shrouded figure face puffed
and swollen and a little group of
cheerless figures collected around
the foot of the bed. The usual ex
planation is "It was a swell pic
nic, but how the heck did 1 know
that stuff was poison oak."
So you nature lovers and would
be picnickers take heed! The Wil
lamette valley is lousy with poison
oak. Lorraine St. Louis, Kay
Grossman, Norm Lee, and Hob
Vosper, all temporarily cutting
classes in the infirmary will read
ily attest to that fact.
As to what to do about this hor
rible situation. Well, one sugges
tion is to chec kwith a doctor about
a good anti-poison oak treat
ment—or perhaps you could hold
your picnics in the KOTO drill i
shed. I

Results of Student
Opinion Surveys
Found Valuable
By Student Opinion Surveys of America
AUSTIN, Texas, April 5 "it behooves us . . .
to allow youth to have its say ... if we are going
to keep ourselves ready to face the world of to
morrow," Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt declared in
a radio address not long ago. And today just that
is happening, the Oregon Daily Kmerald doing its
part by publishing the week-by-week polls of the
Student Opinion Surveys of America.
For the first time in the history of American
democracy college youth now has a regularly
recurring sounding board for its opinions, which
may well be said are the opinions that will mold
the destinies of the future United States. The
scientific sampling referenda of the Student Opin
ion Surveys are presenting a composite picture of
campus thinking and for the first time actually
represent all collegians of the country, because
all types of students are included in the carefully
selected cross-section.
85 Institutions Questioned
At regular intervals ballots from the Surveys
headquarters at the University of Texas reach
eighty-five key institutions in every part of the
nation. Staff interviewers go into dormitories,
boarding houses, lounges, halls, and ask series of
questions that have been pre-tested for their
neutral wording. Within a week returns begin to
come back to Austin and electrical machines are
tabulating the returns, which are then summarized
and mailed back to the Emerald and other member
publications. Nearly ,1000 mathematically-distrib
uted ballots are used in each poll, which statis
tically provide an adequate sample of the entire
student enrollment. Methods used are identical to
those of the Gallup and Fortune polls of recog
nized authority.
General Trends Shown
On the whole, American students are a liberal
lol, but the majority are quite serious about the
political and social problems that confront them.
They have a great dislike for war and would think
twice before volunteering for a foreign conflict
in which the United States had a part. But if
Hitler is going to get rambunctious, they favor
strong armaments, aid to the democracies, and
pilot training bases on their own campuses. Should
they ever have to make a choice between com
munism and fascism, they’d follow Marx—at least
68 per cent of them.
President Roosevelt is still a favorite American
figure with a large portion of the student bodies,
63 Per cent- However, they are in perfect agree
ment with an equal majority of the rank and file
of voters in opposing a third term. Also in line
with adult voters, they believe relief appropria
tions needed the slashes congress ordered recently.
Students Have Ideas on Education
Ask students about education, and you will
get some definite answers. If they were running
the schools they’d adopt the Chicago plan of non
compulsory class attendance and would require
that every one take a marriage course. College
football, they hold, will always be more popular
than the professional game.
In their opinion, American students do not
drink too much and prohibition was a mistake
that should not be tried again. Six out of every
ten readily admit that they indulge in intoxicating
beverages at some time or other. Students cast
their biggest majority vote, 94 per cent, on the
question, "Do you believe a blood test before mar
riage to detect venereal disease should be re
quired by law?"
Round V About
with WEN BROOKS
Funny thing about life . . . the things we want
most are usually the hardest to get . . . even when
it comes to girls. That’s what makes life interest
ing . . . the struggle and fight for things we don’t
have, to le tter our condition. When we relax and
are content with things as they are it’s a had
sign. One of the lines in the French picture, Dance
of Fife, said an awful lot. The man was reminisc
ing with the girl he hadn’t seen since they had
been quite young. He said, “Yes, I meant to go
far hut . . . the sun came out so I stopped.”
The picture had several good laugh lines and
was also amusing as a contrast to our American
pictures. Would like to see I*i Delta Phi bring
more pictures to the campus.
Speaking- of things hard to get . . . notice how
often a fellow will “tie all up" when trying to
get a date, especially when talking over the phone
and to someone he really likes? He wants a date,
we ll take for granted, but watch the approach:
“Hello, Jane . . . ah . . . how are you? Sure
been a grand day, hasn’t it? (same old stuff she
hears every time the phone rings . . . and finally
he’ll stutter around about some class assignment
and then, as she’s just about to hang up . . .) Well,
la... just thought if you weren’t doing any
thing Friday . . .? Uh ? Oh, you are . . . well,
ah . . . goodbye.”
And the receiver clicks while the poor guy
on the end of the line feels he’s been a perfect
dope . . . didn’t say the right thing . . . and so
he thinks about it and the more he thinks the
worse he gets to feeling. He should just reason
the W'hole thing out. After all, she’s just a human
being . . . nothing on a pedestal. He should be
natural when talking with her, be himself. Yeh,
I know . . . just try to be!
Well, (his afternoon there’s going to he a real
tennis court mixer. In order to insure it being a
mixer the co-sponsors, Kwama and Skull and
Dagger, have set the admission at 10 eents a
person, 25 cents a couple.. You pay a premium
to bring a date. Will be lots of tag dances, too,
and prizes for something or other have been
donated by Washburne’s, Gordon’s, and Beech-nut
gum. Sounds like a good deal ... an ideal way
to meet that blonde I’ve seen on the campus sev
eral times but somehow never been able to connect
up with. Here’s hoping she comes! (Unpaid ad
vertisement.)
This 'n that: Barbara Washburne, Theta on the
campus last year, is now attending the Art insti
tute in Chicago . . . saw the game at Evanston
and went wild with the rest of the crowd. Barbara
is working at one of the large commercial design
ing firms in the windy city while going to the Art
institute. Dorothy Burke of Burke-Erickson fame
passed through Eugene yesterday on her way to
Stockton, California, to attend a convention of
Rainbow girls. Dorothy, an ADPi, is Grand Worthy
Adviser of the Oregon Rainbow girls ... is also
the reason Hub Kuokka missed a meeting last
night.

camera fiend, Jack Bryant, is lonesome. Won’t

By GORDON’ RIDGEWAY
Those living on the coast of America’s Pacific
Northwest were reminded recently of an aspect of
the “Chinese incident1’ which never received much
attention in the news reports describing the great
battle of such and such. Quite a few of America's
red-blooded citizens, being whole-hearted sup
porters of democratic government, have been
brought around to a little serious thought on the
topic of what they should do or think about the
case. Yes, it did happen, even though it took a
small group of Chinese children successfully picket
ing the waterfront to bring it about.
If the Europeans are right, then there is one
never-failing way to arouse an American’s inter
est, and that is to begin talking a language which
deals with his business. The Chinese children on
this coast did just that — they questioned the
ethical right of Americans to export war-materials
to Japan, scrap iron which will certainly be used
to exterminate a few more Chinese poeple.
Leaving the question of ethical values aside for
the moment, we would point out the seeming in
consistency of American business in selling Nippon
the materials they need to beat China, and then
protesting because the “Open Door” is being
slammed in their faces. Up to now, the protests
seem not to have diluted one whit the vigor with
which Japan has been pushing that door, and
recently there has been a suggestion that such is
as it should be. This new idea hinges upon an
analysis of the value which the open door policy
has held for America.
The minds behind this development claim that
the door has always benefited England more than
any other nation, America’s trade with China
being more of a prospective rather than actual
nature. Ihey point out that a very large percent
age of American trade in China has been with
Japanese firms in any case. They also produce
figuies to show that America has shipped more
goods to Chinese ports after, rather than before
the Japanese influence became dominant in a
given area. They point out examples of this in
Korea and Manchuoko. /
So. if this theory should prove reliable, it's
time for American business tycoons to get on the
right track. They stand to profit from every angle
first they can sell the Japanese the material
necessary to tear China apart, and then they can
sell the Japanese the goods necessary to rehabili
tate the land of Confucius.
Or is there another side to the question ?
someone please write! Charlotte Strickler, AOPi,

one girl receiving a telegram not so long ago,
supposedly from one of the fraternities
“WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER
LOVE SCENE?" The backard of the sorority can
be seen quite clearly from the fraternity house

One year ago—Chi Omega’s
Virginia Regan, .sophomore in

were favoring optional military
drill. The Emerald firmly stated
that the initiative favoring op
