The fraternities were chosen on the basis of a resident member ship, the six with the greatest number being given the duty. The use of the post is limited to staff members and no one will be allowed on the roof of the library except those assigned to duty, Dr. Cressman said.

The name of the mineral and the lo calities where each is found are lighted simultaneously through the cycle of minerals and re sources. H. L. Robe, curator of the mu seum, states that samples of most of the minerals are in the collections of the museum. Film Chiller Opens Series A chilling, weird atmosphere is the keynote of “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” the first in the new moving picture series to be pre sented by the educational activ ities board, starting Wednesday, January 14, in the Chapman hall auditorium. The picture ranks with “Birth of a Nation” in motion picture history. It achieved this position because of the amazing effects which have been brought out by background, light and shadow, and care as to positions of actors involved in the scenes. Insane Asylum The story deals with an insane asylum, the whole picture becom ing such a weird jumble that it finally becomes evident that the narrator is insane and what you are seeing is seen through his mad, distorted eyes. Faculty members and towns people may purchase member ships into the University of Ore gon Film society for $1.50 plus tax. This membership entitles them to see all seven of the films which will be presented every Wednesday from January 14 until the end of the series. Memberships ilrged Those who wish to attend are urged to buy a membership as tickets to individual perform ances will not be available. Stu dents will be admitted upon pre sentation of their educational ac tivities cards. Four continuous showings will start at 2:10 on Wednesday. German Invasions Fall (Continued from pane tieo) Crum continued, “they are deter mined to show Hitler. When an alarm is sounded now, many peo ple do not run for cover, but ignore it and go on with their usual business.” Women Active Mrs. Crum pointed out the many opportunities for British women in defense work. “They can make bandages, clothing, look after the evacuated children, drive ambulances, work in muni tions factories, take charge of shelters, or a million other things.” When the war started Mrs. Crum at once volunteered for war work. She drove an ambulance until the RAF took charge of the ambulance corps.Mrs. Crum then joined the Red Cross, taking care of babies and dressing wounds. Urges Aid This experienced war worker said, "The American women should carry on their Red Cross and home defense activities until the war actually comes to our shore. Nothing much more can be done.” President Erb Outlines Aim For Defense The University has a twofold program for war aid, President Donald M. Erb told visiting news paper publishers and editors at the concluding luncheon session of the twenty-fourth annual Ore gon Press conference in John Straub Memorial hall Saturday afternoon when he spoke on “Higher Education and the War.” First duty of the school, Dr. Erb declared, is to take the bur den of the University community off local defense authorities, while its second duty is to place its resources of manpower, "trained brains,” and skilled personnel and students behind the war effort. Air-Raid Districts In order to fulfill the first ob ligation the University has set up its own system of eight air raid districts under the super vision of Executive Secretary Earl M. Pallett, chief air raid warden. Faculty members are in charge of utilities; emergency housing, food, and supplies; emer gency crews for first aid, demoli tion, and safeguarding equip ment; organization of student personnel, and communication and transportation. For “long run’’ duty the Uni versity is “rendering signal ser vices to troops passing through Eugene, lending faculty members and equipment, helping to set up defense offices in Eugene, and cooperating with selective service board,” President Erb declared. School All Year Further plans for long-run duty include a scheme for year-round operation of the University, the maintenance of academic stan dards “without too much change NY A Cuts Student Aid; Plans Defense Work Emphasis on shop training for defense industries and service to military and civilian defense bodies, accompanied by drastic reductions in student aid and the so-called “regular” program, is embodied in a report recently by State Administrator Ivan G. Munro for members of the state NYA advisory committee. The report outlines what has already been done to change the youth work projects to a war footing and lays down policy for the future. Advisory committees everywhere in the state, com posed of local citizens interested in youth problems, are consider ing all possibilities of further par ticipation by NYA youth workers in civilian defense preparations. 25 per Cent Cut So far, however, NYA assign ments at the University of Ore gon have been cut only 25 per cent. Enough students were dropped from the payroll at the end of last term, for various rea sons, to make it again possible to assign hours to students begin ning at the end of the present payroll period, January 15. Mr. Munro’s report reveals that there are now 478 Oregon young people employed in de fense industry training shops lo cated in Portland and at resi dent centers, housing youths from all parts of the state, at Chemawa, Albany, Eugene, Pen delton, and Baker. These shops give training in radio, machine despite the war,” and the strengthening of. the curriculum in subjects of military and de fense value. ‘‘Year-round running of the University seems inevitable to me,” Dr. Erb prophesied. “We shall install such a system this June if we can work out a feas ible plan for doing so, but we must first have the financial backing, physical machinery, and academic staff requisite for such a change.” shop, welding, forge, mechanics, sheet metal, drafting, and indus trial power-sewing, with foundry soon to be added. ' Clerical Workers In addition, 200 clerical wciTr> trs are assigned to army recruit ing, military posts, and civilian defense offices, and NYA short wave radios at Portland, Eugene, and La Grande are manned on a 24-hour standby basis for the army air corps. High schools are taking the brunt of the NYA cut, funds available to them being reduced by 50 per cent. Also, only those students who absolutely must have NYA assistance to stay in school will be retained on the high school and college work pro grams. Throughout the entire program extreme care is bejmg_ taken that only needy young peo ple who take full advantage of the training opportunities are employed. Supervisors have strict orders to dismiss all workers who do not take an “aggressive interest” in their work-experience and train ing.
