Time Magazine
Runs Picture
Of Dean Morse
Time magazine honored Dean
Wayne L. Morse of the Univer
sity law school this week when
it printed a picture along with
several of his quotations. A single
column cut of the dean was pic
tured in the “U. S. at War' sec
tion of the magazine.
Quoted on the war labor situa
tion, Dean Morse stated that the
function of the War Labor board
of which he is a member is sim
ply “to settle all labor cases” and
nothing else.” He was credited
with being the man who “settled
the railroad wage dispute,” and
was named with three other col
lege professors as a member of
the board.
“Dean Morse,” the magazine
said, “like many another board
member, found it hard to explain
how labor problems could be di
vorced from the price problem.”
Morse, due back to the Uni
versity in the near future, was
appointed to the board last year
by President Roosevelt.

Kerr to Talk
On Customs
Of US Navy
Naval reserve enlistees now on
the University campus will be
introduced to the traditions and
customs of our navy tonight
when Commander R. E. Kerr,
United States navy, retired,
speaks in the faculty room of
Friendly hall at 7:15.
Commander Kerr, wno is being
sponsored by the campus defense
committee in accordance with re
quests from Washington, D. C..
will answer questions of the re
servists immediately following
his talk. All men already enlist
ed' or preparing to enlist and in
terested faculty members are in
vited to attend.
“Principal advantage of the
talks,’’ commented Dr. Howard
R. Taylor, University defense
council head, today, “is that it
will help the men in the period
of observation they must under
go before being sent to tile mid;
shipman training schools. These
periods last 30 days and it is de
cided then whether or not the
men are fit material for the
navy.”
Commander Kerr was formerly
a member of the ROTC faculty at
Northwestern university and
now resides in Eugene.
The lecture tonight is the first
in a series of two. The second will
be presented by Commander
Kerr next Thursday night.
