Chosen Chairman;
Meeting Tonight
A trip to flip Oregon Common
wealth federation meeting in Cort
land over the weekend and an “iso
lationist” jam session at Wesley!
house last night resulted in addi
tion of names and announcements
for the Student Strike for Peace
to he held on Gerlinger terrace
Thursday morning at 11 o’clock, j
Tony Harlow, after his Portland j
trip, revealed that David Epps, for
mer University student, and now!
active in Portland young Demo-1
cratic circles, would; upr.tuu nis
group’s side in the meeting Thurs
day.
Afternoon Forum Slated
As a follow up to the morning,
demonstration, Prof. F. B. Farqu- j
harson, University of Washington
faculty member, and main speak
er, will lead a forum at 2 o’clock
in the men's lounge in Gerlinger
hall.
Still to be decided is the question
of who will administer the Oxford !
pledge—“I refuse to support the
United States in any war she may
declare” — for the isolationist
group.
Chairman Appointed
Among the last arrangements to
be made was the appointment of
Betty Brown, second year law stu
dent, to the chairmanship of the
meeting. Miss BrowVi was also
chairman of last year’s strike.
Adding to the ease with which
spectators may hear the speakers
will be the installation of the Uni
versity public address system.
May Become Permanent
The Youth Committee Against
War or the “isolationist” faction
announced its intentions of electing
permanent officers following the
strike. They also plan to raise
funds to enable their members to
devote the summer to field work
in the Student Peace service, Rob
in Drews, chairman, said.
With the time before the strike
becoming shorter, two final meet
ings were called for 8 and 9 o’clock
this evening at Westminster house.
The strike committee will meet at
S o'clock to smooth over the
rough edges. At 9 o’clock Dr. R.

Indian Boys
Honor Guards at
World's Fair
By MIRIAM HALE
Twenty-six Indian boys from
Haskell institute have been select
ed to make up an Indian guard of
honor that will go to the New York
world’s fair, under the command
of Captain James Lansing.
Rigid physical examinations and
tests in horsemanship were given
the boys before selections were
made. Members of the group that
will make the trip are from Troup
I of the National Guard unit at
Haskell and from the Five Civil
ized tribes in Oklahoma.

Spring Fever
Did you know that love is what
makes the world go ’round, and
when the world goes ’round, it
makes a revolution. So if revolu
tions lead to war and war is hell,
then love is a hell of a thing, you
little devil, you!
—Utah Chronicle.
Sanity Survey
It seems that, according to Mr.
Dorn, of the United States Health
Service, the percentage of men en
tering mental hospitals is greater
than that of women.
The obvious conclusion, and that
which is accepted by the writer of
this story, is that women make
men crazy.
More fundamental is the fact
that men outnumber women. You
can’t blame them for that.
—Daily Californian.
Philosophy
The critic is a knocker
Always dishing out some sass.
But the Zeppelin that’s floating
Is the one that’s filled with gas.
—The Way Bill.
Asklepiads, pre-med honorary,
will meet tonight at 9, College
Side.
Phil Harris
Plays Hit From
UO Musical
“This is Phil Harris playing in
the Wiltshire Bowl in the city of
Los Angeles. The next selection
will be “I've Found Something
New in You’ from the Univer
sity of Oregon musical comedy,
‘With Fear and Trembling'.”
The University of Oregon and
particularly the student musical,
were thus ushered into the na
tional spotlight Saturday night
by a brief announcement from
one of America’s foremost or- j
chestra leaders. The occasion
w'as the first time “I’ve Found
Something New in You” has been
played over a national network.
Copies of the song were sent
to Mr. Harris a short time ago.
University officials, however,
did not know that he had featured
it until notified yesterday.

Consumers’ Movements
Important to Any Business,
Oregon Retailers Learn
Merchants Must
Cooperate With
New Trends, Says
R. G. Montgomery
Consumers’ movements for ob
taining merchandise of quality at
lowest prices must be reckoned
with in any line of retail business
today, and the wide-awake mer
chant will tie in with them when
ever possible, Richard G. Mont
gomery, assistant manager of J. K.
Gill company, Portland, told the
Oregon Retail Distributors’ insti
tute at the closing meeting of its
third annual session on the campus
Tuesday.
Merchants should cooperate with
consumers’ committees of women’s
clubs, and demonstrate to them
that modem methods of retailing
can give them lowest prices, Mont
gomery said. He also urged that
merchants study consumer organ
ization bulletins.
Telephones Can Aid
The telephone can be a vital aid
in increasing sales, G. Vanden
eynde, superintnedent, Sears, Roe
buck and company, Portland, de
clared. A personnel trained in the
use of the telephone, carefully pre
pared telephone lists, and care in
calling at desireable times are
essential.
Courses on distribution now of
fered by the state board for voca
tional education have already
proved to be of great aid to many
of the 90 per cent of high school
graduates who cannot attend uni

Checks Urged
George H. Layman, secretary of
the Newberg chamber of com
merce, was elected president for
the coming year of the Oregon
Commercial Secretaries organiza
tion at the group’s final meeting of
the two-day session concluding
Tuesday. Fred Brenne, Eugene,
was named vice-president; Tom
Cunning, Astoria, secretary-trea-1
surer, and the following are the
board of directors: Arthur Far-J
mer, Portland; Lynn Larson, La
Grande, John Aschin, Tillamook;
Earl Reynolds, Klamath Falls;
Clay Cochran, Corvallis.
Lists Can Check
Chamber of commerce “approved
lists” can do much to check rack
eteering, especially that of itiner
ant peddlers and others, it was
pointed out by Fred Brenne, Eu
gene, and Larry Manuel, Grants
Pass. Cooperation available from
the national chambership were
pointed out by Malcolm Ainsworth,
manager of the western division of
the organization. The secretaries
also held a “school session” at a
round table forum on chamber
problems.
Casteel Judges at
Declamation Contest
John L. Casteel, director of the
speech division, is acting as a
judge for the annual Klamath
county declamatory contest being
held today at Mai in. Students from
Henley, Klamath Falls, Chiloquin, j
Malin, Merill, Keeno, and Bonanza !
schools will participate in the con- j
test.
Want to Go? J. H.’s Eclipse
Party to Greet Milkman
It’s not uncommon to hear of
a party lasting- until 6 or so in the
morning, but it is rather unusual
to find a party starting at that
hour.
Yet that is exactly what is go
ing to happen this morning on the
campus.
Members of three science class
es, geology, astronomy, and physi
cal science survey, have received
invitations to an eclipse party from
Prof. J. Hugh Pruett, University
astronomer.
Plenty Early
Six-thirty will find the more
ambitious members of these classes
joining Prof. Pruett and his friends
at the Evergreen observatory to
watch the moon take the first bite
out of the sun at 6:47 o’clock
sharp.
Although the moon is too far i
away from the earth to entirely
cover the sun, 69 per cent of thei
sun’s surface will be hidden from
view at 7:51 when the moon will
have eaten as much as it will of
the sun.
From then on until 9:01 the sun
will become brighter.
Back to Indians
In the early period of our coun
try, Indians were very frightened
at such an occurrence. It is even
said that Columbus got his dinner
by threatening to keep the sun
hidden. In Peru today Indians still
go through their weird rituals im
ploring the gods to return the sun
to them.

Campus luncheon, leadoff event
of Junior Weekend, was metamor

Corbett, president of the junior
class, to the effect that the tradi
tional lawn affair would go on a
ticket basis this year.
Anyone partaking of campus
luncheon this year will do so only
if armed with a ticket, Corbett
said, with mothers all getting free
tickets. The tickets will be pur
chased en bloc by the houses, and
will be on sale at the luncheon.
The new practice will be inaug
urated, it was indicated, in order

Emerald Reporter Gets Opinions on Campus War Demonstration
By BETTY JANE THOMPSON
Steering clear of any persons
definitely known to have partici
pated in planning meeting* for the
student strike for peace scheduled
for Thursday morning at 11 o’
:lock, the Emerald asked 14 per
sons for their opinions of the dem
onstration.
Opinion Differs
That the strike is good in theory
but not practical seems to sum up
the opinion of the six faculty mem
bers interviewed. Of the eight stu
dents, six thought the strike use
less, some being definitely against
it because of the name. The other
two students voiced somewhat the
faculty opinion saying that they
thought the strike was good but
didn't know what good would be
accomplished by it.
Faculty Sympathetic
Faculty members were more
sympathetic toward the demon
stration in that they felt it was
effective as a dramatic way of
bringing the crusade against war
to the attention of the public.
One faculty member said that he
"had a lot of interest in any open
minded discussion of how war can
be avoided.’’
Makes Pacifism Respectable
“As an organization of young
people,” another faculty member
stated, “definitely attempting to
educate against war, it is good
because it tends to make the feel
ing against war respectable just as
the feeling for war is made respect
able." However, he added that he
was not bothered by the split in
student opinion or by pledges such
as the Oxford pledge because they
were rather childish.
‘Strike’ in Disfavor
The dislike of the word “strike”
was expressed by another faculty
member who said that he thought
the idea commendable if it was
meant to express student opinion
against war. Strike implies that
one has to be defiant of somebody's
rights and authority, he said.
"It takes courage,” commented
another, "to stand up for principles
more or less unpopular in the pres
ent world. I wish there were more
persons who had the courage of
their convictions, whatever they
may be.”
A member of the faculty having
been in the Far East just recently,
said that he believed the students
now most active in the strike
movement would be the first to
take up arms.
Declaring he didn’t intend to
convey the idea that he thought the
students emotionally unstable, he
added, “But I saw it happen in
China.” Propaganda has done a lot
to the Chinese and Japanese peo
ple, and it will do the same to stu
dents here, he said. The only way
to keep out of war, in his opinion,
is to get a definite committment
from the government, and that
would be hard to obtain, he de
clared.
Success Doubtful
Any instrumentality to bring the
attention of the public to focus on
the futility of war is justified, said
another. “If that is its purpose, I
don’t see anything against it, but
I’m not so sure that it will accom
plish that purpose.”
Student opinion attacked the
word "strike” mostly.
One coed without hesitation said,
“I think it’s silly. I don’t know
much about it, but I generally dis
approve of strikes.”
Coed Echoes Teacher
Another coed voiced the opinion
of the faculty member who said
that those striking will be among
the first to go to war.
Two boys when asked said “I
think it is a conscientious effort to
achieve something, but I don’t
think they will,” and “It's a good
idea to get people thinking about
t, but it is futile."
Another coed voiced her disap
proval of strikes as one reason for
ner adverse opinion. He was preju
diced, a boy said, by the fact that
a number of the strikes he has
come in contact with have been
sponsored by Communists. He add
ed that most people want peace;
therefore the strike was useless.
Good Thing
“It’s a good thing," said a boy
on the other side of the question.
"It indicates a definite feeling on
the question of war."
Because of the relatively small
numbers of demonstrators, the last
coed to be questioned said that al
though she thought the strike was
a good thing, she couldn’t see that
it could do much good.
ceremony and prizes for “firsts.”
The parade will be led by the Uni
versity band and the baseball play
ers will ride in open-top cars, Har
der said. The rally committee un
der the direction of Chairman
Scott Corbett will be in charge of
the parade.
Gees to Howe Field
The procession will proceed im
mediately to Howe field where the
game will be played. The usual line
of prizes for the first home run,
first error, first broken window in
the Igloo, etc., will be given out,
Harger said. These prizes will be
donated by Eugene business men.
Dedication Slated
Also included on the tentative
list is a short dedication service
which will be presided over by
President Donald M. Erb and
Mayor Elisha Large of Eugene as
well as several prominent sports
writers. The first ball will prob
ably be thrown by President Erb
or Maxine Glad, junior weekend
queen, Harger said last night.
Varsity Practicing
Meanwhile the Webfoot varsity
has been practicing daily with the
hope of upsetting the favored Or
ange nine. The Ducks will play the
Beavers in Corvallis Friday in the
opener there.
