Constitutions Of *43, *44 Re-adopted Monday afternoon at 4 p.m. the class of ’43 met in Commerce hall to readopt a reasonable fac simile of their original constitu tion, which had somehow become lost—while across the street, in the more modern surroundings of Chapman hall, the younger gen eration, the class of ’44, waited 30 minutes for a quorum of 25 members to appear before doing the same thing. This action established both classes as legal organizations, providing a copy of each consti tution is filed in the educational activities office by noon today. Motion As soon as the constitutions, based on Phil Lowry’s model class constitution, were passed, a motion to instruct the respective secretaries to cast unanimous bal lots in favor of the four students from each class who were nom inated for the positions open at nominating assemblies held April 7, was passed by a majority. A date for the class “elections," actually a formality of filing the unanimous ballots, will be set lat er by the class presidents. Worth At a late hour last night Steve Worth, first vice-president of the student body and director of elec tions, said that he had not yet received a copy of the constitu tions and would make no state ment until they are turned in some time before noon today. So, unless an appeal is made to the judiciary committee deny ing the legality of the repassed constitutions, the classes of ’43 and '44 are again able to resume their places on the records with the classes of '42 and ’45. • • • ^luta Mo^ie 'Ifea/iA, Advanced ROTC Gains Fifty Men At least 50 University men have been assured draft defer ment and a chance to be graduated as second lieutenants in the Army in 1944, providing they pass a physical test, accord ing to an official statement released Monday by Col.

Players Make Magic During Last Concert Bv CAROL GGREENING An invisible bond seemed to be the secret link between Victor Babin and Vitya Vronsky, duo-piano artists, who, at the last concert of the year, carried on a musical conversation little short of magical. The reds and blues of “Scaramouche” by Milhaud were greeted by considerable applause. Rhumba rhythms were well terry Remembers Pearl Harbor By BETTE ARMSTRONG Terry Watson was there when it happened. The Japs were bombing the 1 Hawaiian island, and Terry, watching from the midst of a barbed - wire entanglement o n Waikiki beach, saw it all—heard the sudden scream of sirens as the Rising Sun squadrons emp tied their destruction on the islands; saw United States bat tleships out in the harbor drop ping mangling depth bombs. Ter ry watched the huge bomb cra ters open their gaping wounds in -the earth, the belching black puffs of smoke, tinged now and then with red flame. Others But mixed with these horrors, are memories still very real and fresh to this dark-eyed girl. Gay picnics on Waikiki beach, surf ing in on the warm dashing waves, dancing with ensigns at the Royal Hawaiian, and sailing on Pearl Harbor. They are only memories now, and 18-year-old Terry, safely registered in the University of Oregon, longs for the home she has known all her life. Remember December ? H o w could she forget ? No Doubt It was a clear morning—Terry and some friends were off for a picnic. Driving down into Hono lulu, they could see sudden bursts of flame and smoke out on Pearl Harbor, and occasion ally a plane could be seen in the distance. As they entered the :ity, there was no longer any doubt of what was happening, l’he Japs were there! People were lashing for their houses, sirens .vailed. “Everyone seemed quite calm —it seemed so unreal,” said Ter ry. “It took everyone by storm. Before, no one had been wor ried, because they felt that the Japs would never get there.” No Picnic That Sunday there was no pic down to Waikiki beach and watched the bombing of Pearl Harbor. A squadron of Japanese torpedo planes, flying low, passed over them as they stood on the beach. Looking over at Hickam field the huge flames and billows of smoke were proof of direct (Please turn to page three) orougnt out, and since Milhaud was the first composer to incor porate jazz rhythms into a seri ous composition, this was an un usual number. “Duettine concertante,” after Mozart, by Busoni, had great ap peal; the finger agility of the pair was amazing.
