Metal Castings
Join Scrap Pile
To- clear Wiltshire's engraving
shop of its scrap metal, a com
mittee of six has been appointed
by Len Barde, head of the stu
dent war council.
The committee under the lead
ership of Dick Savina, freshman
in law, will remove all the metal
from the wood bases made for
cuts and engravings. The metal
is the best type of copper and
zinc available, Savina said, so will
be given to the government.
Committee Listed
«» The cuts measuring from one
..ach to one foot square will be
removed with the help of screw
drivers, hammers, picks, or any
thing available, he said. It will
take nearly 10 hours of work
altogether. The committee
worked November 23, and De
cember 1 and 2 in an attempt to
clear the whole amount.
Members of the committee
are John Helmer, Irv Puziss,
Stan Boquist, Frank Smith, and
George Walker.

to fame is that it is the only the

Freddie Slack and a good crew
performed.
Ella Mae Morse naturally made
with the Cow-Cow stuff, and re
vealed a voice that is much big

waxings would indicate. Barney
Bigard sounded pitifully out of
place mid this chrome-plated type
of jazz. Just as Cootie was out of
his element with B.G., and Lester
Young is uninspired without ex
cellent background stuff, Bigard
just doesnt belong in a high vol

Poet E. G. Moll
(Continued from Page tivo)
When the out-of-doors lured
him last summer, he picked
beans. As yet he hasn't put any
of that into poetry. “I’m afraid,”
he explained slyly, ‘‘the work was
too hard. I think the experience
will have to have a few years to
simmer away while I get over
the tiredness.”
Before “Cut From Mulga” won
the honor accorded it by the
Australian government, Profes
sor Moll had already written note
worthy books, both prose and
verse. The list started in 1927,
with the publication of “Sedge
Fire,” a group of poems largely
of Australia, which definitely es
’• blished him as one of the coun
ty’s noteworthy young writers.
Then followed “Native Moments,”
and a standard text book, “Ap
preciation of Poetry.”
Of special interest here at
Oregon is “Campus Sonnets,” a
collection of verse depicting ob
servations and moods about the
University. “Blue Interval,” in
spired by Crater lake, appeared
in 1935.
Extraordinary Description
Whether he be reading a poem
for a class, fighting along a
woodland stream, or seeking ex
pression of his heart by writing,
there seems to be the yearnings
«a lotus-eater in Jerry Moll.
ose who read his lines find a
kinship in this spirit as well as
in the ordinary things which are
described in Moll’s extraordinary
manner.

Linfield Writer Blasts
Campus Defense Plans
In a front-page declaration
that “the defense set-up on this
campus stinks!'', a columnist on
the Linfield Weekly Review, pub
lication at Linfield college, Mc
Minnville, stirred up a campus
uproar that stopped printed cop
ies of the paper in the mails and
brought forth an investigation by
the student executive council.
Bill George in his column,
“Thoughts of a Wayward Col
uumnist,” declared that, “All we
have done you could put in one
eye. From an outsider's stand
point I think that 95 per cent of
the students don’t give a damn
about the war. In Germany this
would be treason.’’
