Councils Synchronize
Campus Defense Drive
By JACK BILLINGS and JOHN MATHEWS
Coordination of the faculty defense council and the student defense council has now been
completed, according to chairmen of the respective organizations, and work is being pushed
on campus preparation and protection.
A breakdown shows the “supreme war board’’ to be the University defense council, com
posed of faculty and student committees. Chief executive is Dr. Earl M. Pallett, campus air
raid warden who is directly responsible to the Lane county defense council.
Student Head
Fills Positions
Personnel of the recently es
tablished student defense com
mittee was revealed last night by
Lou Torgeson, temporary chair
man. The committee, created to
direct student war effort, oper
ates in three divisions—person
nel, publicity, and funds—under
the chairmanship of ASUO Pres
ident Lou Torgeson.
Divisions
Divisions are: Personnel and
organization -Steve Worth, Ann
Reynolds, and Marge Dibble;
Publicity — Ray Schrick, John
Mathews, and Don Jones; Funds
and accounting—Russ Hudson,
Nancy Riesch, and Marge Dibble.
Personnel workers will be in
personal charge of all student de
fense projects, such as bond
drives, Red Cross work, and air
raid protection, while funds
workers will raise money neces
sary for the projects and do ac
counting for the committee.
Temporary Head
Chairman of the committee
was to have been Marty Schedler,
who resigned on account of a
heavy study burden, leaving Tor
geson as temporary head. No
names have been mentioned as
yet to fill the vacated position. '
First committee action was the
recent defense bond drive, pro
nounced by its administrators a
highly satisfying success. At the
present time the committee is
putting final touches on the or
ganization of a Red Cross cen
ter for the campus. The Gerlinger
hall location will save women de
fense volunteers a trip downtown
every time they wish to put in
time making emergency kits,
knitting sweaters and sox, and
working on similar war relief ma
terials.

Congressmen
Receive No Aid
From (JO Head
Unfortunately Dr. Donald M.
Erb will not be able to help the
poor congressmen. The card he
received Thursday asking aid for
congress was nullified by a no
tice published in evening papers
that the campaign was stopped.
The card sent by the Spokane
athletic round table said, “Con
gress needs HELP! They voted
themselves a pension but that
ain’t enough. Don’t worry about
the war and taxes; get that pen
sion—forget the axis.”
The postcard was part of the
club's campaign, which netted a
truck load of goods such as straw *
hats, glass eyes, wooden legs,
crutches, and moth balls.
Now in favor of buying bonds
with money previously designat
ed for delivering the goods, the
club announced cessatibn of col
lections. The official statement
came from the club’s blond sec
retaries, Gloria Mundi, Victoria
Cross, and Pearl Harbor.
So the moth hole President
Erb might have contributed to
help keep congress laughing will
never reach the seat of democ
racy.
Money Unclaimed
Mrs. Mabel Houcks, secretary
of the art school, still has the
money found there last week.
The owner may have it by call
ing at her office.

Ted Goodwin on alternatives for immediate military service.
Other articles will follow. Each wall be an interview with one

the service.)
