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.

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 ficials responsible for religious 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. education and other religious ac tivities in universities and col leges. ^ SUNDAY (Station) Ex-Instructor Earns Major Rank At Adair Henry Beistel, a raembf ■ of the bureau of municipal res« arch of University of Oregon, now 0:1 leave with the army, has rect ive 1 a promotion from captain to ma jor.

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 dents are beginning to realize :it.” Gambling Lady JOEL McCREA BARBARA STANWICK —Plus— Kendall Murder Case WILLIAM POWELL MARY ASTOR CROSSROADS -Pius Thru Different Eyes FRANK CRAVEN MARY HOWARD TALK OF THE TOWN JEAN ARTHUR CARY GRANT RONALD COLMAN HEILIG ORSON WELLES’ Great New Hit The Magnificent Ambersons with JOSEPH COTTON DELORES COSTELL O ANNE BAXTER TIM HOLT AGNES MOOREHE/D RAY COLLINS
