Allen to Relate
Events of War
As Eyewitness
Scheduled for this year’s first
outside speaker in Gerlinger Fri
day, October 10, is Jay Allen,
European reporter, author, and
former Emerald reporter.
Interviewing such notables as
General Francisco Franco, 10
days before he took over Spain,
;IJiimo de Rivera shortly before
he was executed in Alicante pris
on, Marshal Pilsudski in Vilna,
and Prince Carol and Magda
Lupescue during their exile in
Paris, were only a few of his ex
periences.
Before he began his nomadic
existence in Europe, Allen was a
student at Oregon, University of
Washington, Washington State
college, and Harvard university.
Later he was a member of the
staff of the Eugene Morning
Register, and the Oregonian in
Portland, serving after that on
the Paris edition of the Chicago
Tribune.
^llen was cited by The Nation
for "courageous, informative and
unprejudiced reporting of the war
in Spain.”
When he lectured in Seattle
this enthusiastic response ap
peared in the Washington Daily:
"After hearing Jay Allen talk to
five different audiences during
the past month, I say unhesitat
ingly that he has the material,
the flair for vivid presentation,
and the delivery that enthralls.”

members of the United States
naval reserve aviation corps.

at least one half the college
credits necessary to graduate
with a degree, must be unmar
ried, agree to remain with the
navy for 4 years, and must pass
a rigid physical examination. This
traveling board will be equipped
to give the examination and to
pass on all other qualifications.
Active Duty
If applicants are found eligible
for flight training, they will be
enlisted and called within a few
weeks for active duty at the
naval reserve aviation base in
Seattle, where elimination train
ing will take place for a period
of approximately eight weeks.
Advanced flight training wi’l be

Co-op Struggles
To Supply Texts
xsooks are last leaving sneives
at the Co-op store by way of un
expectedly numerous student pur
chases. Texts and handbooks are
suddenly playing “hard-to-get”
and telegraph wires between Eu
gene and eastern book centers
are humming with activity as
new supplies are ordered.
According to Mrs. Elizabeth E.
Claypool, in charge of textbooks,
the store personnel had expected
a much greater drop in enroll
ment than actually took place.
The drop this fall was not enough
to offset the decrease in stock
purchased.
Explained by the store per
sonnel as significant of a greater
amount of ready cash available
this fall is a sudden increase in
the sale of dictionaries. About
100 dictionaries a year is the
usual number sold. So far this
year between 150 and 200 have
been purchased.
For the past two days an en
larged staff of 40 clerks has been
serving University book buyers
and in other departments of the
store. Beginning today, store
hours will be 7:45 a.m. to 5:30
p.m.
