Now usually Webfoots take, business manager sales talk with a grain of salt. Hut that isn’t taking into consideration the fact that this year it’s the consensus of opinion that “there’s never been anything like Wilbur Bishop’s 1041 Oregana.” For this term there seems to be little need for sales talk. Everybody on the campus has been whispering for months about the startling new makeup, the unusual writing style, the 1941 pictures with a new flair. Activity-minded under graduates, who know that it takes work to make a good job out of anything, have watched Editor “liisli’’ burn the mid night oil for two terms; have marvelled while he cats, sleeps, and breathes Oregana. And this time Oregon students don't need publicity to tell them that this is an extra-special record in yearbook history. Salesmen won’t have any trouble getting rid of the remain ing G5 copies this morning. Probably they’ll have to put 40 or 50 names on a waiting list that can only hope that some undergraduates will decide not to pay the final installment on their volumes. * #• * pOR this year’s book contains 48 more pages of sports, and correspondingly increased pages of other student ac tivities, 14 pages of candid campus shots, four full pages of color, a startling new cover in color with a jacket of the same design, and a dozen other features that the few who have had the privilege of seeing them describe as ‘'the best job I’ve ever seen.” The new magazine style of organization, by which each section of the Oregana is introduced by a full page of copy with regular headlines and decks, is another innovation of the enterprising 11)41 editor and lie’s especially proud of that brain child. Yes, the fast-talking Mr. Williams . . . who has set a record of his own at selling yearbooks . . . can take a much needed rest. The 1941 Oregana seems to he speaking for itself.—11.A. The Ten Commanders "Y^lllLE students sweated over final exams winter term, Governor Charles Sprague signed Senate Bill 256, au thorizing a Student Union building “to be eonstrueted and equipped” at Oregon. Although the enaetment, was not as simply termed as the above-quoted phrase, it did assure Uni versity administrators and students that the State Board of Higher Education could now sell bonds lip to $250,000 for the financing of such a structure. Helen Ann Huggins, secretary to her representative-father during the forty-first legislative session, kept The Ihnerald well informed of the bill’s progress. Such persons as Helen Ann are always necessary when big things are in the process of materializing. Realizing this, President Donald M. hub quickly appointed a faculty-student committee of leu to study sites and analyze priority needs for such a building, i.e., banquet hull, kitchen facilities, dance floor, etc. * * * ■yyiSKLV, President Erl) picked t'fieulty men who under stand the problem: Will V. Norris, Virgil I >. Karl, Orville Kindstrom, Fred ('uthbert, and 0. K. Kelly. Students selected include Mary Elizabeth Earl, Kay Sehriek, Ely DorSis, Bob Lovell, and Tiger Payne, ev ot’t'iein member. I>r. Norris is chairman, and to him and the nine other mem bers we proffer the following free advice: Please remember the Student Euion should serve the extra curricular needs of a student body ami no other group Audi torium facilities hre not needed as badly as a good dance floor and banquet hall. Also, an auditorium would serve an academic, and not a student purpose. Forty miles away is a Memorial Union which might well be studied as an example of what not to build. You’re a well-picked committee, thanks In President Erb. With that pat on your collective hacks, go to work thinking ol first needs til t student needs. |{ \.V. This Collegiate World (By ANSOC IATEU COLL£i'ilATh I’Rf ^S) Joseph J Kamoda, an instructor uP the hoot of education it Syracuse university, wasn't very busy the other day. Bo he sat down, reached for liis sharpest mathematical penal and came up vitb these staggering observations about the draft lottcv; “The 0,000 different serial numbers might base been drawn in biihona and billions of different combinations. The approximate possible number of combinations is something like followed by 31,680 zeros. "If your handwriting is such that, you write about six numbers to aij inch., you would need to lay down a twelfth of a mile of paper ci'^oir to t\ic I’S’ura vTjttc-ii \ u*jc c t m a ail1 u> ion*- as a footbai: field. ’ International Side Show By RIDGELY CUMMINGS So much water has flowed under the bridge since three weeks ago when the Emerald Cummings suspended publi cation out of consideration for the grades of its contributors that to try to sum marize the inter national devel opments of that period in this space is best none oy listing a, iew Ditnncr headlines. Here are some of the phrases in big black type that you hur riedly glanced at during exam week and vacation: Lend Lease Opposition Collapses; British Aid Bill Passes Senate; Presi dent Signs Lend Lease Bill; Roosevelt Asks Seven Billion for British; Roosevelt to Tell Nation of Aid; U. S. to Increase Aid Until Victory Won, FD Tells World; Churchill Thanks U. S. for Aid Bill; Axis Press Scores U. S. on Aid Act; U. S. Rushes Aid at Furious Pace; Seven Billion Dollar Aid Bill Gets Green Light. U. S. Enters War That paragraph tells one of the biggest stories that it has ever been the misfortune of the American press to chronicle. It has been a two-year process, but what the headlines really add up to is: UNITED STATES ENTERS WAR. It started out two years ago with a bill ironically called a “neutrality act" which forever, as far as this war is concerned, destroyed our neutrality. It was followed by legislation pushed through under the slo gan “All Aid SHORT OF’ WAR to the Democracies.” The pub lic was duped, just as they were duped 23 years earlier, and now the qualifying phrase “short of war” is ominously missing from the headlines and from the President’s speeches. The next step, unless the American public wakes up, will be American convoys into Eu ropean war zones, and the ulti mate step will Vie another Amer ican expeditionary force. When the bodies of American boys arc lying torn and twisted/ in the thirsty mud of some European or Asiatic battlefield, when the long stream of coffins for which the war department has already asked bids starts rolling into our homes, then perhaps we, the people, will open our eyes. Then, perhaps, it will be too late. Still More Headlines Ah, well, 1 really didn't mean to go into my song and dance so early in this article. I still have a few more headlines to oiler you. Here they are, all recent enough to sound as il' you read them yesterday: French Threat en to Run Food Through Brit ish Blockade; Somaliland Falls to British; British Arm to In vade Continent; Mussolini's men in Africa Put to Rout; Liverpool Hit by Nazi Bombs; Hitler Confident of Axis Vic tory; Nazis Blast Furiously at Anglo Sea Ports, British Slug Back; II Ducc's Offensive Stalled by Greeks; Nazis Threaten Greece With <>t Divi sions; British Rush Aid to Greeks; British Troops Said Landed in Balkans; Lines Drawn for Battle in Balkans. And some more: Vugo Pact Stirs Fear of Uprising; British Capture .ligjiga in Drive Against Dure; RAF Lashes Berlin, Hamburg; London Digs Raid Dead From Debris; Yugo slavia-Axis Agreement Strikes Snag; Serb Anger Grows Over Axis Tie-Up; Germany Issues Ultimatum to Yugoslavia; Yu goslavs Yield to Nazis, Civil War Looms; Plymouth Takes Terrific Two-Day Pounding; Two U. S. Ships to Take Food to France. 11 s a Serial These, things arc. self-explan atory. They are chapter heal ings m a continued story that may last for a generation. And they have a terrific fascination, it reminds me of wrestling matches. Thursday night l went to see the wrestler:-. Perhaps the fact tha» I can get m free on passes Ire. something to do with it; anyway, it. is true that these ex hibitions of brutality have a morbid fascination for me. The athletes are handicapped by practically no rules: they gouge each other's eye. , twist fingers, . trike illegal blows with elbows, knees, and fists. It is human nature at it:- lowest and all my humanitarian Instincts are re. retied, but about once a. month X find m * •sell at nssffcide. I uotd to riucgadigo and say I just wanted to observe the au dience reaction. The audience is a show in itself, all right, but I know that is not the reason I go, for when the result is in doubt all my attention is riv eted on the wrestlers. They Love It After the show is over and one of the thick-necked muscu lar contestants is carried un conscious from the ring, I see some of the town’s "best people” crowding for the exits. They are good fathers, good hus bands, good citizens, but just a few minutes before they were hot-eyed, hoarse-voiced parti sans roaring for blood. I am afraid there is an al legory here—nations and indi viduals. Nations become parti san over the war just as indi viduals identify themselves with one of the punch-drunk per formers. They are fascinated, their sadistic instincts are aroused and it doesn't take much to make them a partici pant.
