The blonde which almost “got away” will be tracked down and caught to the last telephone digit and house number. In fact it will be a pretty general campus “hurrah” which greets apparance of the 1941-42 Student Directory as it makes its “debut” this morning. * * # rJpilIS year’s Diggers’ Guide is a complete book of the “big ger and better” in campus names and figures. An entirely new section presents lists of officers for men and women’s living organizations, instruction for scheduling house dances, the year’s social calendar, members of the educational activities and athletic boards, associated student officers, publication staff officers, and leaders of 15 other campus activity groups. The extra section was added to ,save many a fruitless hour spent in search of information which otherwise “refuses to be found.” ft ft ft ''JTTIE book, contrary to general rise in costs, goes on sale at the Co-op and in living organizations for the usual price of 25 cents. The worth of the Guide is readily admitted for its handy supply of essential information in local as well as home addresses. Its appearance is timely as well as auspicious in the light of world events, which place Sadie Hawkins day tomorrow, No vember 8.—R.J.S. Encore, Please... JPOR lo, these many fall terms, tlie campus has asked and pleaded for afternoon, rally dances. Several organizations have investigated the possibility of such events and judging it a too “risky venture," vetoed it. Last year's Kwainax and Skull and Daggers hesitantly in vited the student body to rally a dance to welcome the basket ball team back from Hawaii. They were probably as much surprised as the maple floor fans when the box office registered “success." “Aiming to please," the combined sophomore service lion ora ries this year decided to establish the custom of rally dances. Their first “mix" was inspiring ... so many couples . . . fel lows cutting in on one coed after another. * >* =» repeat performance was staged for the Washington State game. Due to perhaps a weak link or two in the organiza tion of the affair, the dance did not run so smoothly. Male Webfoots there were in plenty. The girls — even sorority pledges—were diseouragingly few. It takes work«to put on a campus event. It takes a good many dimes to add up to the orchestra’s “do-re-mi." While the Kwamas and Skull and Daggers aren’t trying to turn student body spirit nito a money-making venture, their budget is limited and demands they break even. Obviously both honoraries are rushed by a crowded program ol activities and too busy to bother with failures—but why not give the campus another chance? After all the score is two out ol three in their favor and we’re assured that the Olivermen aren’t quitting Tuesday with a .500 count against them.—B.J.B. Even the dogs had to move to the corridors of the library ibis week as d<>00 frenzied students suddenly decided mid-terms indicated something besides “six weeks 'til Christmas," or “next week is Thanksgiving." THE SECOND GLANCE Golu+n+uAst Ont&upAeii' 'Coming War’ Almost A Fact By WILLIAM E. HAIGHT Thomas Mann, brilliant Ger man exiled novelist wrote in 1937: “The meaning and purpose of the National Socialist state is this alone and can be only this: to put the German people in readiness for the “coming war” by ruthless repression, elimina tion, extirpation of every stirring of opposition; to make of them an instrument of war, infinitely compliant, without a single criti cal thought, driven by a blind and fanatical ignorance. Any other meaning and purpose, any other excuse this system cannot have; all the sacrifices of free dom, justice, human happiness, including the secret and open crimes for which it has blithely been responsible, can be justified only by the end—absolute fit ness for war. If the idea of war as an aim in itself disappeared, the system would mean nothing but the exploitation of the peo ple; it would be utterly sense less and superfluous.” Tomorrow Frightful The “coming war” is today a frightful realization. The record of the German people determines the truth they are "infinitely compliant, without a single criti cal thought, driven by a blind and fanatical ignorance.” There is no appeal to a people so ob sessed. The German government in sists that they have no interest in South America or North Amer ica. Remember — Sudetenland was their last territorial demand. Their past would indicate when ever they assert no interest in a nation they are about ready to trump up an excuse to use mili tary force against that nation. They have interfered in South American governments, they are spending tremendous sums to propagandize the Nazi doctrine in all the countries south of the border. Only One Choice It is to our self-interest to re pudiate by every means at hand the Nazi extensions of power. If we can stop Hitler with arms, tanks, airplanes in Russia we are lucky, but more than likely we will have to send an A.E.F. to aid Russia. By his actions Hitler has shown he will strike against North and South America when he has the time—his time. We must examine his past rec ord, examine the reports of South American intervention, examine the FBI reports on German prop aganda and sabotage in the Unit ed States and remember that his followers are unquestioning fan atics. We must weigh the advan tages of full aid to nations fight ing on our side without waiting until he is ready to strike against us on our own shores. A note from the “baby” of the family who is a member of the R.A.F., in fact, the skipper of a bomber most of the time some where above France or Germany. “They say this is a short sweet life; I can vouch for the sweet ness of it and have seen a lot of why they say it is short.” This One's On You By AL LARSEN Student Delirium “I think I’ll take a whole month off,” he said as he happily reached up and tore the month of October from the calendar. Psychic “Did you go to the game?” “Gee, no.” “Well, why not?” "Oregon lost.” Hale—1941 Sample "If only I had more than one life to give—then I'd give one to my country.” Number Please Miss Aubrey Cromwell refused to respond to a cordial invitation to attend a tea at the Oregon chapter of Phi Chi Theta.

The move made because of her work in in venting a remote-control device which the government, according to Time magazine, termed secret and promising. “M?ss Lamarr’s work was rec ognized because of her thorough knowledge of figures,” said Ross Mudge, senior in mechanical en gineering and president of the council. * * * Brigham Young University — Freshie quoth blithely, “Coeds are here for the same reason that the mounted police exist.” University of Washington •— Professor W. J. Osborne offers a shot in the arm for lagging grade points through his remedial read ing classes. Cynics would say that the best way for a student to bring up his G.P.A. is to study. But most students do study and a great many do so with small result because they don’t know how to read properly. In the classes, students are taught a skill they should have learned in the primary grades, but which they have failed to integrate pro perly with their other school work. % * % University of Nebraska —Ac tives of Alpha Tau Omega are — still wondering which of their pledges answered the telephone^ the other night and, when asked if it was the Alpha Tau Omega house, said: “I don’t know, but anyway it’s ATO.”
