Wires Crossed
(Ed's. Note: She
Did Not Attend)
Evidently the YMCA got its
' wires slightly crossed concern
ing Dr. Hayes. Dr. Hayes
thinks so anyway, for Dr. Mar

According to her story, she
received a card from the YMCA
recently inviting her to a “stag
affair to play ping pong and
drink tea.”

Free Will or Draft?
Oregon Women Vote
To Volunteer Work
By BARBARA YOUNGER and JEANNE HINES
Next year the women of Oregon may be worrying about
their draft numbers, for much pressure has been brought
to bear upon the administration to draft women for work
in defense industries and as an auxiliary to the armed forces,
not doing actual fighting, of course.
Mrs. Roosevelt said, ‘I’ve come to one very clear decision,
Colonel Wappenstein
Decorated for Bravery
The Silver Star decoration for bravery in action has been
awarded Col. William A. Wappenstein, former assistant pro
fessor of military science at the University, who is on active
duty in the Philippines, according to an official army
statement. This is the second citation that Colonel Wap
penstein has received, his daughter, Mrs. M. Mikulak, now
in Eugene, reported.
Colonel Wappenstein, w h o
graduated from Washington
State college in 1916 with a
Bachelor of Science degree, later
attended the Infantry school at
Fort Benning, and has been a
commissioned officer in the U. S.
army since 1917.
Second Citation
According to Mrs. Mikulak,
Wappenstein’s second citation
was issued February 5 in an or
der signed by F. B. Villaluz, ma
jor, general staff corps, chief of
staff, at the command of Briga
dier General Capinpin.
The citation reads as follows:
“Under the provisions of para

Evacuee Tells of War
By JANET WAGSTAFF
f War in the East is a reality to
Dr. Raymond L. Archer. Names
and places in dispatches from
the South Pacific recall vivid
gcenes to his mind.
This visitor to the University
was district superintendent of the
Methodist mission in Singapore
until January 30, 15 days before
the fall of that city, when he

Navy Plans,
NewV-l Rules
The United States Naval Re
serves has just made some ad
justments in its program of en
listment for college students.
Changes which seem to be of
most interest for college men
are:
1. Men who have earned 93
credits at the end of winter term
are eligible for enlistment in
class V-7.
2. Sophomore students who
are under 20 years old or have
reached their twentieth birthday
After April 2 are eligible for en
listment in class V-l. If accepted
in V-l these sophomores will be
allowed to complete their junior
year and also be given a chance
to enter V-7 or V-5 at that time.
3. Freshman students who are
under 20 years of age can enlist
in the Naval Reserves through
the V-l program and will be al
lojved to continue in school
through their sophomore year and
at the end of that time will be
given a chance to enroll in the
V-7 or V-5 program.
The eyesight requirement for
V-l enlistment is 15-20. Students
interested in these new programs
may see Dr. C. F. Kossack in 107
Deady.
namely, that all of us, men and
women in the service, and men
and women at home, should be
drafted and told what to do. The
only way I can see to get the
maximum service out of our cit
izens is to draft us all and tell
us where we can be most useful
and where our work is needed.”
Vote Divided
The student opinion is split.
Most of the women do not want
to be drafted, and most of the
men want to draft them.
One student volunteered that,
"I think it should be voluntary,
but I think every woman should
do everything- she could.”
One Man’s Opinion
Another student said he
thought it would be a good idea
if the women would leave indus
try after the war is over.
In England over two million
men were replaced by women so
that they could go on active duty.
The question was: ‘‘Do you
think that women should be
drafted for work in defense in
dustries or in auxiliary forces or
do you think it should be volun
tary."

Bloc Backing
Just two hours before last
night's 12 o'clock deadline, John
Busterud, junior representative
on the executive committee, pre
sented a petition signed by 50
members of the ASUO to Jim
Frost, first vice-president of the
student body, which will place Ilia
name on the ballot for the gen
eral student body elections to
be held next Tuesday.
Bustcrud's petition puts him in
the running against five other
nominees' for the four executive
committee positions — president,
first vice-president, second vice
president, and secretary-treas
urer.
• Other Nominees
Other candidates for election

and Carolyn Holmes. Busterud,
who is al(so president of Druids,
junior men's honorary, is running
“on no ticket.”
“My name will appear on tho
ballot without bloc affiliations,”

for the best man.”
Qualificat ions
Busterud said the only qualifi
cation he offered was his experi
ence on the executive committee
and knowledge of the campus.
“X decided to run because oi*
the way bloc meetings have been
going lately,” he explained. “Poli

and I don't think we need to ran
things 'like that on this campus.”
