Di, Di, Dee Di. Kwama, Talon See Sewing Bee Kwama, sophomore women’s service honorary, is an organiza tion that does its part in the all out war effort. Besides that, Kwama members are hospitable and they look toward the future and prepare themselves for their careers. They have invited the Talons, sophomore women’s service hon orary at OSC, to visit the Oregon campus. This inter-campus visit is an annual affair. This time, though, they won’t have the reg ular party. They will make dia pers for Bundles for Britain. The decision to make the in fants’ lingerie came after honor ary officers queried local Red Cross offices to see what was most needed. Ticket Sales Begin Y Drive With a goal of 1000 tickets to be sold to Warner Brothers’ “One Foot in Heaven” billed for the McDonald theater for a three-day showing starting Sunday, the YMCA began its drive to raise funds by distributing posters to living organizations yesterday.

Strict Tales Of Defense Called False Rumors that persons who sign for defense work at the defense desk in Dean Karl W. Onthank’s office are signing away their lives were called false last night by the student bureau of infor mation. The bureau, a branch of the student defense council, is seek ing out rumors affecting defense and looking into them with an eye toward nipping in the bud rumors that might be destructive to America’s all-out war effort. “The story is around,” the bu reau report said, "that one girl filled in an application blank and as a result finds herself stuck with horrible hours of defense work and no time for school. “We know this isn’t true, but the campus doesn’t, and because of their belief many persons are not signing for defense work.” The report explained that one of the purposes of the student council was to find defense work for students to do in their spare time. There is no intention of forcing a student to devote more time than he can afford to his defense work. Such a system would defeat the very purpose of the committee, the report said. Future Medics Take Notice A large majority of this Uni versity’s medical students sud denly began to think of ways to "get rich quick" when the tenta tive plan for completion of a 4 year pre-med course in 3 years was announced early this week. According to Dr. David W. E. Baird, assistant dean of the Uni versity medical school, this plan will affect many students who work in the summer, since begin ning courses will begin in July instead of September or October, running on a 12-month basis. Considering the plan are 76 United States medical schools, which will graduate 5000 more doctors than heretofore. There will be no reduction in the standards of instruction or content of medical course, Dr. Baird said. He feels that federal assistance might be given to stu dents. Further problems connected with the plan are faculty and fi nance adjustments, and acquisi tion of new supplies and assist ants. Co-op Rental Libe Puts New Novels On Shelf Several new books have been received in the Co-op rental li brary this week, according to Mrs. Lucile Parsons, Co-op li brarian. Included in the new books is “Ivory Mischief” by Ar thur Meeker, a story about life in the court of France in the 18th century. Another of the new volumes is "The Thorne Smith 3 Decker,” the latest book by Thorne Smith, made up of three of his short novels. “Storm,” by George Stew art, is also a new book in the Co op. It is the first novel by a pro fessoi at the University of Cali fornia. A historical novel by Andrew Lytle is now available to Co-op readers. The name of this book is "At the Moon's Inn.” Nineteen newspapers from 12 Latin-American countries are re ceived regularly by the Univer sity of Texas library. Dollar Saving Plan Offered in Books Students who read many books from the Co-op library can save themselves a lot of money this term by taking out a member ship in the Co-op book club, ac cording to Mrs. Lucile Parson, Co-op librarian. Term membership in the club is $1 and for this fee any book in the rental library can be taken out seven days at a time. The regular rent rate on books is three and five cents a day. A wide selection of mysteries, fiction, and nonfiction books are included in the rental library. USJobContest Will Choose 50 National Institute of Public Affairs announced last week that it will accept applications until Tuesday, February 3, in compe tition for 50 appointments to the 1942-43 interneship training pro gram in the federal government at Washington, D.

Internes usual ly plan to continue graduate study or to enter the public serv ice. Appointments provide train ing without cost but do not pro vide for personal expenses. Dean Morse (Continued from page one) through such a negotiation, dis putants must notify the labor de partment’s conciliation commis sioners if they have not inter vened already. 3. Should conciliation fail, the secretary of labor must certify the dispute to the war labor board. However, the board, in its discretion, after consultation with the secretary, may take jurisdic tion over the dispute on its own motion. Morse Returns Soon Dean Morse is now in San Francisco acting as an arbitra tor in a longshoremen’s dispute, but is expected to be back at the University this week. His national reputation as an arbitrator was heightened last December when he headed the presidential fact-finding commit tee which settled the threatened nation-wide railroad strike. No indication has been given as to whether or not the new ap pointment will alter his standing commitments as Pacific coast longshore wage arbitrator and mediator for the northwest lum ber commission. Wendell L. Willkie has also been selected by President Roose velt to serve as one of the twelve men on the board. Willkie, how ever, has not yet accepted the po sition. Service Cited As Chief Aim Of Colleges Bulletin No. 19 entitled, “High er Education and National De fense,” isssued by the American Council on Education, Washing ton, D.C., maintains that only one question is now uppermost in the minds of administrators, teach ers, and students in American colleges and universities: “How can this institution, how can I, as an individual, best serve the nation?” Within a week of Japan’s at tack on Pearl Harbor, the sub committee on military affairs of the council met and considered the selective service legislation proposed by General Hershey, draft administrator. The commit tee discussed possible means of utilizing the facilities of colleges and universities for effective training of men either through courses of value to those expect ing to enter military service or through military training. many problems of granting credit for military training and of modi fying residence and other require ments for men called into service were also taken into considera tion. The committee reports that many letters and telegrams have been received indicating that the first reaction of local boards to the war situation was to disre gard immediately all former di rectives from the national head quarters of the selective service board regarding postponement of induction and occupational defer ment. They reiterate, however^ that no changes have been made since the declaration of war. Un til such changes are made, says the bulletin, existing procedures should be continued, including ap peals if a board does not follow these established provisions. The committee plans several more meetings in the near future to iron out any problems pre sented to them by their nation wide representatives pertaining to the present defense effort. Frosh to Form ^ Union Group Petitions of freshmen desiring positions on the freshman student j union committee may be dropped in a box in the Co-op store all day Thursday.

Petitions should contain the ap plicant’s name, address, phone, activity record, GPA, and other pertinent data. Appointments will be made according to meiTff Young said.
