Faculty Advice To Students: ‘Keep Calm' Advice and comments on the War of the Pacific came from University officials Wednesday as reports and rumors flooded' ra dio waves and newspaper bulle tins. The general opinion expressed by most school authorities was that students should keep ‘•level headed," maintain their “status quo” with second and third gen eration Japanese students on the our complete consideration” Pallett Or. Earl M. Pallett. registrar arc executive secretary, made this statement: “All civilians have been advised by responsible officials to go about their normal activities in a calm, efficient manner, and co operate fully in carrying out emergency instructions. Students should concentrate on their studies, complete the work for the term, and register for the coming term after the vacation period. Men registered for se lective service should' follow reg ular’ procedures and request de ferment postponement of induc tion when their cases warrant such requests.” Onthank Karl VV. Onthank. dean of per sonnel administration, gave the following advice: “Students will, like all other citizens, wish to observe all the blackout and related regulations. They may be an inconvenience, but need not greatly change the normal pattern of life. Eugene is probably one of the safest places on the coast. The blackout here is obviously net because of im mediate danger of bombing, but so that lights here cannot serve as a beacon or guide to enemy planes should they come this way. “Eor the blackout, windows can be made impervious to light by the use of heavy curtains or black paper. Roofing paper will do nicely. This can be tacked to shutters or frames which can be removed during the day. Kitch ens and study rooms particularly ah.- old be so protected. Shaded Lights ■ rho use of shaded study lights instead of ceiling lights makes it easier to darken windows. The effectiveness of curtains or blackout paper should always he checked to make sure that no light can be seen from the out side. That is the test applied to all blackout arrangements that n> light be visible from outside." Speaking of the reactions of Tkuversity students so far during tin* war. Dean Onthank said: .* Student leaders are entitled to compliments on the level-headed v \y they have dealt with tlie stresses of the past few days. Die t icons have often charged that people in a democracy are undis ciplined and cannot 'take if in an emergency, but most Oregon stu dents seem to be adjusting to war news and blackouts, and to be getting ready for examinations in their stride—as they should be. Sticking to the present job (and doing it even better than usual) until definitely called for service more important, is the obvious duty of everyone. Many Demands "Plenty of demands will b'e made upon University students, some of them tough enough and important enough to demand the best they have and thorough preparation. Women as well as men will be needed. “Most students can serve best by preparing themselves for the long pull ahead. To continue at one’s ordinary work and studies may seem harder than rushing into direct defense activity at once, but both military and edu cational authorities are agreed that students should continue their education, including such added defense activities as will be announced from time to time, until they are called for the du ties at whic hthey can serve llpst ” Earl Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, emphasized toleration in his statement, as follows: “I have personally contacted the leaders of nearly all of the student organizations on the cam pus, and I feel that after the first flurry of excitement the stu dents are gaining their equilibri um and that their conduct will be a credit to the University, state, and the nation during this con flict. “I have also contacted many of the Japanese students who by birth are citizens of this coun try, and they report that they are being treated with the utmost consideration considering the gravity of the crisis confronting the American people. Same Courage “It is my opinion that the stu dents will continue to show the same courage and consideration in the future that has character ized their conduct up to this point. “I sincerely hope that all of the students will cooperate with the people who have the difficult task of administering th^*unusual requirements in this emergency, and that tiiey will be of great as sistance to such officials as are called upon to perform these par ticular duties.” Constance Clifford L. Constance, assistant registrar, explained the teason for having selective service regis tered students come to the regis trar’s office: "The American Council on Ed ucation has been co-ordinating the work of many institutions of higher education in the field of selective service deferments in or der to insure that colleges will not be left devoid of trained peo ple for the post-war reconstruc tion period. “This present survey is to clas sify college students registered for selective service to decide on their possible deferment."
