Architect’s Ship Flagged On Return Voyage From Study of Old World Works The same day that Hitler started his “blitzkrieg" on Poland, Sep tember 1, Jack Stafford, son of Professor O. F. Stafford of the chem istry department, and Professor W. S. Hayden of the school of archi tecture, departed for the United States of America from Bei gen Norway. The second out of port, we were overhauled by three Englisf battleships, supposedly looking for the mysterious Bremen. They camt alongside and flagged messages to our ship. I imagined they were quite disappointed to find that it was only the Norwegian ship, Ber gensfjord.” So reported Mr. Staf ford as he sat at his desk in the school of architecture. Used Flagging When asked why the English ships did not use the wireless in stead of flagging messages, Mr. Stafford said that, “Of course, they were afraid to use the wireless for fear their message might be inter cepted by some German U-boat.” According to the young travel er, news was censored on the Nor wegian ship; however, they were able to pick up scraps of informa tion at times. No Way to Get Home “Because of the European sit uation, we (Mr. Stafford and Mr. Hayden) found ourselves engulfed by the problem of how to get home. We were supposed to return by the Hamburg-American line, but the company canceled our tickets temporarily. We finally changed to the Norwegian line, and everything appeared to be all right,” said Mr. Stafford. Due to the change, most of their luggage remained in Europe, but they are getting it piece by piece. Went to Study Early last summer when the two Oregon men journey to Eur ope, their first objective was to study architecture. And this they did. While in Athens, Greece, the party saw the famed Acropolis; and in Istanbul, Turkey, the famed Santa Sofia—and many other buildings of architectural value. The party took pictures of many of the buildings they saw. The Oregon party visited France first. There, the people were aware of the grave war situation, but normal conditions were main tained. The air raid siren was sounded once a week for practice , purposes only, Mr. Stafford re- • ported. V lSIK'U IV1MIH “In Germany,” he continued “we visited the Rhine country and Co logne—and it seemed to me that conditions were normal there also, except for the fact that soldiers were kept out of sight as much as possible.” From Germany, the party con tinued on to Holland, and while crossing the border between Hol land and Germany, they could see many sandbags being arranged in strategic places. “And Holland, too, appeared quite normal,” ac cording to Mr. Stafford. Italy, Finland, Denmark', and Norway also were visited by the travelers. Mr. Stafford happened to be in Naples at the time that Italian soldiers were returning Fifty-two New Teachers Train Education School Offers Graduate Practice in Eugene Fifty-two future secondary school teachers are training in the Univer sity school of education this term. Of these, six are graduate students and the others are seniors. One hun dred to 125 practice teachers are expected to have been affiliated with projects in University high and Theodore Roosevelt junior high schools before the end of the year. “This is really a laboratory for teaching and observing,” stated Dr. F. G. Macomber, professor of edu cation. “Each student teaches one major subject such as social science, English, language, business cours es, etc., and two minor teaching ex periences such as library^ study hall, general office work, drama, debate, journalism, athletics, mu sic, and art.” Physical education, music, and art are taught only one hour a day while major projects and the minor teaching courses are taught every day. Positions Found Graduates of 1940 will need one term of graduate work in order to secure a position next year. Grad uates of 1941 must have two terms, and 1942 students and graduates of the years to follow will be required to have one year. A very important branch in the education school is the placement service which finds teaching posi tions for most of the graduates. This work is carried on by Miss Ida Pope, the placement secretary. Graduates of five years ago may acquire positions through this serv ice. from the fighting in Spain. Mus solini was “there for the festive celebration — but, “Unfortunately, we did not see him,” said Mr. Staf ford. When Germany signed the non aggression pact with Russia, Mr. Stafford and party were only two hours from Leningrad. He had no way of knowing about it, however, since he was unable to read Fin nish newspapers. “I am very glad to be home on American soil once again,” said the young student enthusiastically. “We enjoyed the trip very much, and really did see some marvel ous specimens of old architecture— but I am still glad to be home,” re peated Mr. Stafford, with a big gri non his face. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllUlllllllllllllllllilllHIIMIIIIIlllllllHIlUIIIIUIIIIlllllllIIIUIIIIIIHIinilllll© 14.

E. Hartwig, University assist ant professor of law, at the Com munity Liberal church at 7:30 o'clock Sunday evening. In regard to the present neutral ity controversy, Professor Hart wig declared that "our interests are paramount" and that therefore legislation favorable to our general welfare should be enacted above all other considerations. The repeal of the present arms embargo he deemed advisable be cause : (1) It would stimulate our in dustries, (2) would build up our ! arms and munitions factories to our advantage if we should be come involved, and (31 it would re act in favor of the Allies who are "fighting our war.” He pointed out that the administration’s proposed “cash and carry” plan would make our chances of involvement less than under the present law. In reviewing our neutrality pol icy, Professor Hartwig recalled the world's first neutrality law was passed under Washington and that that statute has failed in its ob jective in every instance. First it permitted us to become involved in the War of 1812. and later in the world war. However, he indicated that he believed that the United States could possibly remain aloof from the present European war by “proper legislation.” Professor Hartwig was graduat Sick Ducks Get CIO Fever; Howl For Better Deal “We want a phone in every room, unrestricted visiting hours, bed lamps, and an occasional ex change dessert," chorused 18 in mates of the University infirm ary yesterday. According to some of the more violent patients, a revolution will soon be in order if some thing is not done about these few simple requests. “They wake vis up at 5 a.m. in the morning to take our temper atures, and then—not even the comforts of home!" one indig nant lass exploded. “But the food is wonderful,” she finally agreed.

After his formal address, he answered the queries of his audi ence regarding international law and American neutrality. Airplanes Checked By Hunt Safety Factor Stressed as Part Of Flying Program Jack S. Hunt, inspector from the Seattle general inspection section of the Civil Aeronautics authority, was on the campus Friday to check local flight instructors and equip ment which will be used to train 40 University students to fly, Four instructors and four planes will be available at the airport for instruction purposes. One in structor and one plane will be as signed to four groups comprised of 10 students each. Stresses Safety Factor Hunt stressed the safety factor established by the government in this training program under which each fledgling will receive 17 hours of dual instruction as opposed to only eight hours under the usual system employed by private teach ers. Seventeen hours of solo flight will be required of each student before eligibility for a license will be considered. “The majority of accidents are due to inexperience and flagrant violations of regulations rather than faulty equipment,” Hunt ex plained. The inspector reported that the Civil Aeronautics authority is en deavoring to set up a standardized system of flight instruction that will insure a large number of skill ful pilots who will continue to be interested in flying after college years. “This program should be of great value to this country because it will step up plane production which (Please turn to page four) IT’S OUR PAPER 4000 ENTHUSIASTIC CUSTOMERS Representing a $2,840,095.90 Market* ♦Registrars’ figures We students couldn’t get along without the Emeirald .. . it’s our textbook, giving authoritative information about our college, our academic and social interests, our activ ities, our lives.
