To Honor UO

The University of Oregon and
its Homecoming festivities will
be honored on a nationally broad
cast program by the Philip Mor

Original plans of the Philip
Morris program called for a

In deference to the date of Ore
gon’s Homecoming activities,
however, the Notre Dame broad
cast was postponed and Oregon
p*sen that date.
All Oregon
As the entire program will be
dedicated to the University, Cecil
Snyder, associate in the Univer
sity news bureau, has sent a
quantity of information to the
sponsors for use on the broadcast.
Oregon songs will be played,
and mention will probably be
made of the basketball opener in
Madison Square Garden, the his
tory of the University, and spe
cial events such as Junior week
end.
Prominent Alums
The names of several promi
nent Oregon alums were also sub
mitted by Snyder.
The broadcast will be musical
in nature, with interludes of in
formation on Oregon furnished
by the commentator. No persons
from Oregon, or Oregon alums
will appear on the program, how
ever, Snyder said.

Campus living organizations
aiftf .private homes housing Uni
versity students will undergo the
state fire marshal’s annual in

The Rimplegars make their
third bow to University theater
audiences when they romp
through “Three Cornered Moon"
again at 8 tonight.

antics of a charming and gay
family left penniless in an all too
practical world.

posing roster of players including
Dorothy Durkee, David Zilka,
Adrian Martin, Jean Person, Bob
Weston, Pat Howard', Chuck
Boice, Dick Turner, and Marjorie
Quigley.

Chamberlin Punctures
Optimism for Russia
In an ordeal of strength the Nazi system of dictatorship has
proved more efficient than the class struggle form of collec
tive government used in Russia, maintained William Henry
Chamberlin, the noted foreign correspondent and author, when
GRINS IN ORDER
trank Mcivinney, lett, and Earl Homer, newly named treasurer and
vice-president of the senior class, congratulate each other on their
new positions. The appointments were made after the original officers
were declared ineligible. Fat Lawson, new president, made the ap
pointments.
Detore an audience of University
students and towns people Thurs
day morning in Gerlinger hall.
“There is no reason to hope
that Russia will be victorious
over Germany in the colossal
struggle which is now going on,”
said the speaker. “It is, however,
highly unlikely that Germany will
ever completely conquer Russia
since the Soviet army can retreat
almost endlessly, inflicting ter
rible losses on the advancing foe.’’
No Optimism,
After a biographical introduc
tion by Eric W. Allen, dean of
the school of journalism, Mr,
Chamberlin’s voice filled the
auditorium with a book of infor
mation in 37 minutes.
He quickly discredited any de
lusions of optimism in connection
with the Russo-German conflict
on the Eastern front.
Reasons
He listed several reasons for
the surprising resistance of the
underdog Soviet army. Among
these were (1) morale—the sol
diers are young, reliable, enthus
iastic about communism and
“ready to fight for the only form
of government they know,’’ (2)
mechanical preparation — Russia
has spent the last 10 years pro
ducing tanks, armaments, and
munitions for war-time use.
(3) Economic mobilization —
the complete coagulation of all
natural and manpower resources
“for a future series of battles,’’
and (4) the enormous size of the
