The two groups of the Youth Committee Against War, who had come to a misunderstanding at the Monday meeting, are now united in making plans for the annual strike against war. It is scheduled for 11 o’clock, Thursday, April 20. Compromise Made The conciliation was made pos sible by allowing each group to retain a certain amount of inde pendence in the program. Mr. F. B. Farquarsan, member of the school of engineering at the University of Oregon and a world war ace, will still be the main speaker, but time will be allowed on the program for an expression of the collectivist point of view. Preview Meet Slated To discuss the two different points of view of maintaining peace, namely “isolationism” and “collective security,” which split the Youth Committee Against War into two factions, a meeting has been scheduled for Westminster house at 9 p.m. Wednesday at which time Dr. R. C. Clark, dean of the history department, will at tempt to clarify the situation, Drews announced.

Peace Strike Assembly Thursday Will Be Led by Veteran of World War “A lively, forceful, vigorous speaker” and “a level-headed peace advocate” are the terms by which S. Stephenson Smith, professor of English, described F. B. Farquhar son, who will speak at the April 20 assembly, sponsored by the Youth Committee Against War. And Professor Smith should know for he has been a personal friend of Professor Farquharson for several years. Now at U. of W. At present, Professor Farquhar son is a professor of civil and mechanical engineering at the Uni Fordham Ram Leads Papers in Picture Field By HOPE DONDERO The Fordham Ram, with its own equipment, transmitted by high tension wire, the first telephoto picture to appear in a college pa per.

It’s a funny world ... if a mar gets money, he’s a grafter . . . i: he keeps it, he’s a capitalist . . if he spends it, he’s a playboy . . if he doesn’t get it, he's a ne'er-do well ... if he doesn’t try to ge it, he lacks ambition ... if h gets it without working for it, he’ a parasite . . . and if he accumu lates it after a lifetime of hard la bor, he’s a sucker.—Denver Clar ion. * * * I've Been Robbed Said a Colorado university str dent to his roommates: “There’s dirty crook in this room. In th past week I’ve lost a Missoui sweat shirt, a Utah football, Kansas jersey, and five universit * towels, and I want the low-lil theif to bring them back!”—Dail Trojan. versity of Washington. He served ! during the World war as a cap tain of the Royal Canadian Air ^ Force and saw action in France. He saw a great deal of Europe at , the time of the war, some of it from a German prison camp. Although Professor Smith was not sure whether Professor Far i quharson does any flying now, he 1 did remember that the former war pilot had been called as a con sultant by the Boeing Aircraft company and was considered an : expert not only on engineering but also on economics. Would Aid Laborers He is especially interested in aid ing the migratory laborers in east ern Washington, Professor Smith said. Two reasons for Professor Far quharson's opposition to war, ac cording to Professor Smith, is that war ends civil liberties, and en dangers the economic interests of farmers, workers, and small busi ness men. However, one of the biggest reasons, Professor Smith said, is the ruthless destruction of buildings, bridges, and other ex amples of the feats of engineering, which occurs at the time of war. Professor Smith said that 200 billion dollars worth of such pro perty had been destroyed in the World War and in the event of another war “that would be only a drop in the bucket.’’ Frosh Glee Wins Late Permission For April 22 'Daisy Mae' Choice To Be Theme Of Annual Dance Emerging from an advance skirmish in their dance wars with the winning of a point which will be won by few campus dances this term, Bill Loud and Walker Treece, co-chairmen of frosh glee, an nounced yesterday that they had arranged 1 o’clock pjermission for the April 22 dance. Of only slightly lesser impor tance as a point was the class card reduction angle. Even before they have named their orchestra Loud arranged 1 o’clock permission for a 50-cent reduction on the admis sion price for frosh card holders. ‘Daisy’ Choices Soon The “Daisy Mae” who is to be chosen in keeping with the “Lil’ Abner” theme will appear in mul tiple form within the next day or so, the co-chairmen said, when the 20 girls who have been given the official backing of their living or ganizations will have their names announced for the inspection of the campus. As far as the actual choice of Daisy is concerned, that will be a feature of the dance. The choice will be by election on basis of door admissions. Pledging Scheduled Skull and Dagger, sophomore men’s honorary, will be ready with a list of pledges this year. Tm From Oregon’She Said And Became a Celebrity By HELEN ANGELL : Just another AWS prexy from a i little university out in the west 3 was Anne Fredericksen, AWS ■ president, at the national meeting • in Kansas last week, until she said, • “I’m from the University of Ore gon” . . . and then she was a celebrity! For the mid-west heard a good . deal about a Webfoot quintet i carrying off the national basket e ball championship, and according i to Anne, being a schoolmate of the a,' champion five managed to give her y! an aura of glory in any group, e Tired, But Busy y Stopepd a few minutes in the dean of women's office yesterday, where she was attempting- to straighten out a voluminous AWS program for spring term, Anne smiled a very tired smile and de clared she’d had “a wonderful time.” “When I read about the recep tion given the team and every thing, I did wish I were home to see it all,” she admitted, but she said it was fun resting on the team’s glory in “foreign soil.” Likes ‘Mikado’ Swing Asked what she thought was the highlight of her trip, outside of the convention itself, the new AWS prexy knitted her brows— which had picked up a few flatter (Please turn to page three) Good Enough To Run on Broadwag Home-Grown Show Looks Good in First Full-Length Trial Rushes One glimpse of the inimitable Patsy Taylor in action “With Fear and Trembling" on the set of Oregon’s newest Robinson-Road man high-speed comedy is assur ance that the boys and girls on the old Eugene campus are once more “hitting the ball" in the pro duction of top-hole entertainment. Ethan Newman, assistant to George Root in the educational ! activities office in McArthur court, i last night telephoned in a warn | ing to the students who wish to j be among the 190 who will see the j initial performance to make reser vations for seats at the ASUO office before the end of the week. Tickets in Johnson Tickets may be purchased at the Johnson hall box office on t,he night of the opening, April 17, but reservations must be made at Mc Arthur court. Things are shaping up, and there is no doubt that a large number of people will be turned away for each of the six performances now scheduled for “With Fear and Trembling.” Few Seats Available It is unfortunate that the limit ed seating capacity of the Univer sity theater will make it necessary to turn away many who wish to see the show each night of the performance. Newman pointed out the advisability for students to re serve seats for the night on which they wish to attend. Tickets will go on sale Friday and Saturday at Washburne’s when copies of Roadman’s new song, “I’ve Found Something New In You” will also be available at the downtown department store. The song, which was recorded last week by Art Holman’s orchestra, will be put on the block at the I University Co-op store on Friday I as well. Wilson’s music store is carrying advance copies of the song now. i — Getting in Shape for Jitterbugging The AWS carnival . . . will feature a jitterbug; contest.

F. Beck, of the psychology department,,for the re cent publicity given student gold fish gulpers and angleworm ad dicts. SDX Founders Day To Be Planned at 4 A founders’ day breakfast will be discussed at a meeting of Sig ma Delta Chi at 4 this afternoon in 104 journalism. The occasion will be observed by chapters throughout the nation, and the Oregon chapter is planning to have as speaker a noted man in Oregon journalism. A picnic is planned for the afternoon. Bill Pen gra is in charge of the arrange ments. Besides drawing up plans for the ' breakfast, the SDX-men will dis cuss the 1939 edition of the “Greer Goose,” annual spring time campus scandal sheet. Vincent Gates, chiei editor, has been questioning mem bers as to what style the sheet should assume this year. Last year’s “Goose" aroused i great deal of interest at the Sigrm Delta Chi convention in Madison Wisconsin, last fall. The Univer sity of Washington chapter is con sidering a similar paper this year “Goldfish eating was a happy accident that happened to get some newspaper publicity,” he said, “but I think the goldfish will outlast the fad.” Eccentric individuals who feel they are not getting all the atten tion they deserve from friends and teachers may resort to eating worms as a substitute way of get ting social recognition, Beck said. "In order to satisfy their desire for attention students use this strange way of getting their names before the eyes of their colleagues and the public,” he said. “Al though the experience may not be desirable from our eyes, the indi viduals who engage in the activ ity get a great deal of satisfac tion from it. It is a form of exhi bition.” Dr. Beck does not feel that stu dents who eat grasshoppers, an gleworms, flies, and goldfish are necessarily of a lower scholastic standing. “On the contrary,” he said, “it takes a fairly intelligent person to hit upon such a novel way of getting publicity.” MOTORISTS EXAMS SEATED Unlicensed drivers will have their chance tomorrow to get intc the fold when Glenn Bown, state drivers’ examiner, hangs out hh shingle at the K. of P. hall for a three-day stay. Mr. Bown will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, anc from 8 to 5 Saturday.
