UO Students Have
Chance in Aviation
Aviation as a field for ready ad
vancement and as one in which
the University has opportunities
to place several young men, was
cited by Dean of Men Virgil D.
Earl yesterday, as he placed on
file a letter from the United States
military department requesting
more college flying cadets for
classes beginning' in July.
Only two years of college work
are required by the war depart
ment before a student may enroll
at Randolph field in Texas for his
eight months’ primary instruction,
to be followed by four months’ ad
vanced training at San Antonio.
Applicants for the cadet positions
must be not over 27 years of age
must be unmarried.
Flying cadets are paid $75 per
month, in addition to uniforms and
board and room.
Application blanks and further
material on requirements and the
service rendered are available at
the dean’s office, he said.

What's the longest non-scientifk
word in the dictionary? Two Uni
versity of Alabama students think
they know after scanning Web
ster’s pages for hours.
Some of the long combinations
of letters dished up by the boys
were “imperturbability,” “pera
phealitism” and “Perpendicularity.’
But the prize word, longest of
all, found by the vocabulary exca
vators, was (now careful, linotype
operator) “antidisestablishmentar
ian ism.”

Lorraine Hixson to Be
Featured Guest Soloist
At Monday's Concert
Star of "Peer Gynt" to Be Presented on
Band Performance in Music Auditorium;
John Stehn to Direct Program
Lorraine Hixson, soprano, will be guest soloist at the band concert
to be presented under the direction of John Stehn, assistant professor
of music, Monday evening at 8 pan. in the music auditorium. There
will be no admission charge.
Miss Hixson took a leading singing part in the campus production
“Peer Gynt,” last year. She will be a featured star in “With Fear and
Trembling,” the all-campus musical comedy. She will sing “Air, I Vow
That Nothing Shall Prevent Me,
from Bizet's opera, “Carmen” at
the band concert.
Better Than Ever
“There are 50 players in the
band,” Mr. Stehn announced, “and
in the 10 years I have directed it,
the University band is better this
year than it has ever been before,”
he said.
The concert will open with a
French military march written by
the Frenchman, Saint Saens, when
he was on a trip to Algiers. He
wrote the number to express the
joy and security he felt at seeing
a regiment of French soldiers in a
strange land.
Oboe to Solo
Margaret Allen, oboeist, will be
a featured player during the sec
ond selection, “Serenade Roccoco,”
by Meyer-Helmund.
“Mignon Overture,” by Thomas
opens with clarinet, flute, and
harp cadenzas, followed by a beau
tiful French horn solo. The main
body of the overture is a lively and
sparkling dance melody.
“Schwanda, the Bagpiper,” is a
modern fantastic opera by Wein
barger, a Czechoslovakian com
poser. It is written in the rhythm
of Polka, an old Bohemian folk
dance, in the form of a classic
fugue, but with dance tempo.
As a closing number the band
will play two movements from
the symphony No. 4 in F-minor by
Tschaikowski.

and sergeant-at-arms, Erros Pen

j Students Held
(Continued front page one)
vice-president passed from the af
fairs of the University. They and
30 other boys who were already
enlisted marched into the assem
bly in uniform. Students were en
thusiastic in giving all they could
to the nation in the way of defense
and arming.
Emerald Screams Story
An Emerald headline rivaling
that telling of Oregon’s national
basketball championship shouted:
“STUDENT RANKS DECIMAT
ED BY MEN ENLISTING. FIRST
CALL WILL SEE 100 MEN GO
TO FRONT, STUDENT ACTIVI
TIES INJURED AND INTER
COLLEGIATE RELATIONS MAY
SUSPEND, PATRIOTIC RALLY
AND SEND-OFF SCHEDULED
FOR ASSEMBLY TOMORROW.”
Professor Allen Hopkins, of the
school of comemrce, said: “There
wouldn’t be enough excitement in
the ambulance corps.”
Another headline proclaimed:
“Alumni Respond to Call, Sixty in
Less Than Week Tell How They
Would Aid Country; University
Band May Form Military Unite;
Student Musicians Discuss Plan of
Enlisting as a Body; Players in
Demand; Will Parade Thursday.”
The first to depart for the ranks
were Ken Wilson, veteran track
man under Colonel Bill Hayward.
His departure cast a shadow over
Colonel Hayward’s track pros
pects. Men disappeared from near
ly all campus activities. Track,
baseball, and other spring athletics
were abandoned. Intercollegiate
competition stopped.
Military Drill Actual
An Emerald reported: “Military
drill, though only voluntary, is an
actuality at the University. Tues
day evening, when for two hours
over 50 men marched and counter
marched under the direction of'
H. K. Kingsbury and a half score |
of volunteer corporals, the first!
actual steps were taken. The gym-!
nasium rang with the orders of
those in command, and the rhyth-;
mic cadence of marching filled the
large room. Members of the ad
ministration force of the school
rubbed elbows with students, and
former members of the United
States army with true military
subordination followed young fel
lows from the National Guard in
elementary instructions.”
The campus was in a frenzy.
Trunks were packed long before
the actual declaration of war. One
month before the American declar
ation of war against Germany all
University men and alumni had to
fill out papers to indicate their
willingness to go to war if called
upon. A resolution supporting
President Wilson was passed by a
student assembly.
Campus Decked Out
Before the assembly Dr. John
Straub asked houses and students
to decorate the campus. He said:
“I his is to be the grand rally day
and farewell to our boys. Let us
make it such that those of us who
remain behind may show our boys
who are going away that wc ap
preciate- the sacrifice they are
making.”
AmJ so • • • many of the boys
went away, and many of them
never saw the University again.
They went over the top shouting
“Lusitania” at the foe. The dread
ful creature known as the “Hun”
was to be erased from the face of
the eai th. They nearly succeeded,
but 20,000,000 young men died on
both sides.
British naval gunners won't get
their Easter lcave-of-absencc this
year. They have been ordered to
remain on board ship. There is a
bomb-proof shelter in nearly every
English back yard. Mothers keep
their babies hi style by buying gas
masks for them. All men WERE
created equal. Look around you
oday. Many of your friends are
ot German ancestry. Well, the
young people look just like that
in Germany today.

Drums Help
Marching of
ROTC Units
Military students marched to
the rattle of a drum last Wed
nesday when the officers of the
military department brought out
a drum, found a drummer in the
ranks and ordered rhythmical
pounding for the boys to march
1 by. A drummer could be found
in every class except the 10
j o'clock section -the honor com
I pany.
Officers maintained that the
drum definitely helped, that the
boys marched more briskly and
; a more satisfactory drill result
I ed. From now on, the drum will
j be used at all drills, Colonel Rob
! ert M. Lyon, commandant of the
University ROTC, announced.
The main problem now is to find
! a drummer for the 10 o’clock
hour.
Four Amphibian
Pledges Chosen
New Pollywogs
To Participate in
Spring Pageant
Blight green and white pledge
ribbons marked the four new Am
phibian pledges as they arrived on
the campus for classes Wednesday
morning.
These coeds, Becky Anderson,
Barbara Bamford, Hope Hughes,
and Barbara Roberts were asked
to join the group after the final
spring tryouts which ended Tues
day. After participating in the
water pageant, these new polly
wogs will be initiated in late May.
Two girls, who only missed the
standard by a few points, have
been asked to be guest swimmers
for the pageant. Nancy Gardener
and Mary Storkersen rated high
on form strokes so they have been
invited. Others with special talents
may be enlisted later.
Swimming in preparation for the
pageant will begin tonight at 7:30
in the Gerlinger pool. Joanne
Riesch, president, has asked that
all the new and old members at
least report so that the pageant
idea can be presented and dis
cussed. Some work on formations
and form swimming will be direct
ed to give the girls practice.

S
Personalities
Stressed by
Class Talker
Dr. Ballard Tells
Sociology Group
Of 'Adjustment'
Personality qualities of people in
the professions, or any other field
of endeavor, are of the utmost im
portance, according to Dr. J. Hud
son Ballard, who spoke before the
backgrounds of social science class
on "Adjustment" yesterday morn
ing.
“This is an age of specialization,
where a definite degree of training
and skill is necessary,” he said,
“but a cheerful, and cooperative
personality carries a great deal
more weight on the road to suc
cess. In fact, a good personality
has a monetary value, for the
agreeable person will more readily
get advancement than one who is
efficient, but over-sensitive, quick
tempered, or moody.”
Pastor in Portland
Dr. Ballard is pastor of the First
Presbyterian church in Portland,
member of the American Philo
sophical society, and director of
Oregon Mental Hygiene society
since 1935. He has attended many
schools of higher learning and is
a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
“Adjustment is the supreme hu
man problem,’’ he stated. “It em
bodies three areas, namely:
“1. Internal, or adjustment
within the individual - including
his fears, worries, or mental con
flicts;
“2. Social, pr adjustments with
his fellows, family and all the
associations of life;
“3. Cosmic, or adjustment of the
individual to the universe in which
he lives. It answers his questions
of ‘Why am I here? What is the
meaning of life?’ and concerns his
attitude toward the world."
He Names Krligion
Dr. Ballard named “intelligent,
dignified, and sincere" religion as
the greatest adjuster of the human
personality, because it “related all
parts of the human body in such
a way that it runs smoothly and
harmoniously.
“In the individual a healthy re
ligious attitude gives him courage,
assurance, and a hopeful outlook
on life; in society it gives him a
faitli in mankind; and in the cos-*
mic world it fills him with a sound
belief in the Infinite Mind, making
him wish to make his life count
in the largest possible way,” he
stated.
Softball Leagues
(Continued front fa tie two)
Two games will start at 4 and 5
o clock. Each game will be limited
to seven innings with a time limit
of one hour to be placed on merry
go-round games.;
The boys will battle in the five
separate leagues from April 17
until May 19 after which the five
league toppers will clash in the
final < hampionship play-offs.

FI VE sophomores at a New England university had
been assigned to report on the residential districts of
a southern city, its principal products and the location
oi its plantations.
Hour after hour they thumbed through book after
book in the library — all to no avail. Then one of them
had a happy idea—why not telephone the city’s Mayor?
They did —and in a few minutes had all the informa*
tiou they needed.
No matter what the question—in college, in social
life, in business — you'll liud the telephone is often
the quickest, most economical way to get the answer.
