As far as is known at present, juniors will finish their school year.

The meeting had been sched uled for 207 Chapman, but was moved to Gerlinger because the “The Last Laugh,” a film spon sored by the. educational activi ties board, was slated for that room. The house executives will be in structed in plans of the state rep resentatives of the bond commit tee, who are expected on the campus within the next few days. They will then call meetings in their houses to ascertain the pos sible amounts that may be pledged. An all-campus group will determine the potential re sources of the entire campus.

Skull, Dagger Reveal Plans For War Jig UO students will dance for de fense Saturday night after the Oregon-OSC game at a Skull and Dagger sponsored dance in Ger linger hall at 9:30, Bob Ballard, chairman, announced last night. "All profits from the dance will be turned over to the faculty de fense committee to use as they wish,” Ballard said. “All-out co operation of the entire stuclent body is urged, because this is one way in which every one can help in a cause vital to America.” Cancellation The dance previously scheduled for Saturday night in the Masonic temple, will not take place be cause of the defense dance, it was said. This is the first time Gerlinger hall has been used for an all-cam pus event since its employment for student body assemblies was banned last week by the Univer sity defense council. Use of the building for the defense dance has been sanctioned. Committee Dance Chairman Ballard, ap pointed yesterday by Frank Lock wood, president of Skull and Dagger, sophomore men’s service honorary, announced the follow ing committee members: Jim Bennison, Jim Thayer, publicity; Oge Young, decorations; Ran Potts, patrons; Jim Harrison, floor', and A1 Sellars, clean-up. Orchestra and ticket price for the dance have not yet been an nounced. Law Men Get (Continued from page one) members are “conservatively esti mated” at 40,000. There are 62 men’s national social fraternities and 34 women’s social sororities, not to mention the almost num berless honoraries and local fra ternities, the report points out. The plan deals with methods cf contacting these organizations for defense savings purposes. The United States is divided into dis tracts, and the districts into col leges and universities. These are divided into separate organiza tions which might have funds that could be converted to de fense bonds. Quotas A quota system would need to be established, and a program would have to be worked out to make college students even more aware of the need for the funds, the report says. Possible results of a thorough campaign “would be hard to imagine.” One of the principal aims of the program • would be to take advantage of the "loose money” in the classes and other organizations.
