Professors Observe Planes,
Students With Equal Skill
By Koberta idoyd
College professors are proving themselves double duty
men by donating all available time to scanning the skies for
enemy planes in between teaching, eating, sleeping, and re
laxing. All of which proves that they teach often, eat some
times, sleep seldom, and relax never.
The middle of the morning finds many a weary professor
rudely awakened after few hours
sleep by the “jingle jangle” of
alarm clocks which spur them
out of bed and on to duty—obser
vation duty.
Moved to Ground
Dr. Luther Cressman, head of
anthropology department,
acts as chief observer in charge
of administration. Under him in
charge of personnel is Willis
Warren, head of the library. Mr.
,Warren sees that there is a per
son on deck to cover the periods
from midnight till 8 a.m. All of
these bleak hours are covered ex
clusively by members of the fac
ulty.
Last year the observation post
was located on the roof of the
University library, but this year
it has been brought down to earth
and is situated west of the edu
cation building.
Wives Watch
Not only do the faculty mem
bers observe daily, but their
wives and secretaries cover the
hours between 8 a.m. and 12 mid
night. Faculty wives, under the
rv—action of Miss Mary Perkins,
p.wfessor of English, are on duty
between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. fol
lowed by faculty secretaries from
4 p.m. till 12 midnight.
The only comments of some
of the professors about this add
ed “night work’’ were that they
are all glad to do their share and
are getting conditioned to early
morning rising.
Fifty on Call
Stated Mr. Elmer Fansett, al
umni association secretary, “We
are all glad to do it—the little
inconvenience of getting up early
isn’t anything compared to what
might happen if someone weren’t
there. It is little to do when
there is so much to be done.’’
Approximately fifty faculty
members are on call and more
are being signed up every day.
Work All Summer

working all summer long, al

Parade of Opinion
(Continued from page tioo)
deal with religion can be divided
into administration, correlation
and instruction. Administrative
officials are concerned with
problems of supervision, person
nel, budget matters and the tech
nical relation of religion to other
education.
The technical difficulty created
by separation of church and
state offers the biggest problem,
Dr. Blakeman points out, since
the administration must be kept
strictly non-sectarian.
Dr. Blakeman Advises
At the University of Michigan,
Dr. Blakeman is an adviser with
in the administrative side of the
university’s program and a coun
sellor to students. Kenneth Mor
gan, director of the Student Re
ligious association, correlates "on
campus” and "off campus” ac
tivities. Instruction is in charge
of Prof. Leroy Waterman, who is
chairman of the degree program
in religion and ethics. Under this
degree program, the university
has grouped 54 courses so as to
permit students desiring to do
so to concentrate on religion and
ethics during their last two years
of undergraduate study.
Dr. Blakeman's book, titled
"The Administration of Religion
in Universities and Colleges,”
also contains a directory of of

Nilssen Concert
Opens Season
By ROSS YATES
"Si Tra. i Coppi," lyric aria
from the opera "Berenice," by
Handel, composed one of the
many selections sung last night
by Sigurd Nilssen before a large
audience in the school of music
auditorium. Other highlights in
cluded "Graf Eberhard's Weiss
clorn,” by Pluddeman: “Naeht
lied," by Matticssen, and “A
Sailor's Life," by Storance.
Jfr. Nilssen chose his program
with excellent taste, combining
English, German, Norwegian,
Russian, and American works in
interesting sequence. Mr. Nils
sen's voice is, perhaps, better
suited to the dramatic type of
song rather than the lyric type.
His interpretation of "Widmung,”
by Schumann, and "Bitterolf," by
Hugo Wolf, exceeded the lighter
“I Attempt From Love's Sickness
to Fly,” by Purcell.
“Vaaren,” by Grieg, in which
Mr. Nilssen was accompanied by
the University string quartet,
combined a delicacy of balance
between the strings and voice
that expresses the poetic beauty
of the words.
Mr. Nilssen concluded his pro
gram with two American cow
boy songs as encores. He was ac
companied at the piano by Mar
garet Notz Steinmetz. Rex Un
derwood arranged the string ac
companiment for “Vaaren.”
Professor Analyzes
Higher Cost of Living
In an article written for the
Oregon Business Review by
Lloyd M. Faust, research asso
ciate and assistant professor of
business administration at the
University, the rising trend of
prices is iclearly demonstrated.
Analysis of the review shows
that the cost of living has
reached 117.4 per cent of the
1935-39 level. Food costs exhib
ited the greatest lead over other
items, increasing 16.8 per cent
during the last year. Greatest
rises in food costs have occurred
on the Pacific coast where food
is up 25 per cent.
General business activity was
found to be up throughout Ore
gon and retail sales continued
soaring during August. Mr.
Faust predicted that the war la
bor board will be given wider
powers in a general wage sta
bilization program.

Romance Languages
Attract New Students
Enrollment in Spanish and
French courses this year has
taken an optimistic turn, accord
ing to Miss Anna M. Thompson,
assistance professor of Romance
languages. The registered stu
dents equal last year's number,
which is considered a big step
forward because of the drop in
the University's total registra
tion at the beginning of the /far.
However, there will be no - core
classes for graduate students.
The few who have been able to
return have become instructors.
Interest in the Spanish language
is growing’, Miss Thompson says,
with the new interest in la-tin
America and the need of hemis
pheric defense.
"Our greatest passport to Mex
ico and South America is lan
guage," she said, "and more stu
