"Webfoot" (Editor’s note: The following was written by Dick Shelton, now a seaman second class in the navy, who was a sophomore in journalism on the campus last year.) By DICK SHELTON You know, as you stand that nightly watch, Say, the one from twelve to two, You think a lot about your home And the things you used to do. Now if your home was happy And your town was full of fun Then there’s lots of things to remember Before four bells are rung. In my case, I’m from Portland That’s in the “Webfoot state And the things I have to remem ber, I could' dream on until eight. I used to go out to Jantzen’s Every time I had a chance We'd go out early to swim awhile Then later on we’d dance. I wish I could go to the “Uptown’’ And dance from nine till one Or stand near the clock at Meier and Frank's And wink at the girls for fun. Yes, the sugar cubes at the “Rainbow’’ Were a perfect place for your note. And remember the time in Wash ington Park When she was cold and wanted your coat? I’m wondering if you remember the times You’ve parked on Rocky Butte Or sat in the dark at Swan Is land And told her she was cute I remember too how I hated rain And swore at it every day, But now! Say, for an Oregon mist I’d give a full month's pay. Yes, these don’t seem like much, I know, And a lot of bunk to you; But when you’re far away from home They’re sure to make you blue. I hope this war is ended soon So I can come back home I've traveled around enough by now And care no more to roam. I want to settle down for good And let it rain, snow, or sleet; ’Cause water never did bother us at all That’s why we're called ‘'Web feet.” YW Term Plans Formed at Meet Plans for winter term activities of the YWCA were made this week when the cabinet held its first meeting of the year and com bined the business with a covered dish supper in the Y bungalow. Date for the winter term ail campus Y assembly was set tor January 28 with Bishops Reming ton, Episcopal bishop for the eastern Oregon district, announc ed as the featured speaker. Reports With Abbie Jane White, Y president, presiding, informal re ports were given by members of the cabinet. Plans for a Bible study group were made to the Y leaders, and further information concerning the group will be an nounced later. Sylvia McBride suggested that books be collected for Japanese relocations camps. This work will be carried out by the social serv ice committee of the Y.

War Futile (Continued from f'ae/c two) Peace can be merely an end of fighting and a return to individ ual and national problems or it can be the beginning of a posi tive, planned peace on a neces sary, international scale. Democracy requires the sup port of people to ideas. Support involves understanding and gen eral public agreement based on previous discussion. Men in the armed forces fight with increased energy when they know what they are fighting for as well as what they fight against. Destruction and killing wins war, but the establishment of a better world requires strong lead ership, thinking, and talking, now as well as later. Our boys who are fighting and dying don't look forward to a "peace.” with chaos and insecur ity, or a peace that may only be another cessation of fighting. They expect constructive plan ning to be going on at home to secure the peace they are making possible. ' j Europe is literally starving to death. Pestilence, hatred and rev olution are immediate concerns for United Nations planning, based on a true recognition of our economic interdependency. The world’s (and our) biggest danger is that we confuse the de feat of Hitler with the cure of the "disease” that breeds Hitler ism. Causes of war should be our fundamental concern, and guide to peace action. Study of candling and weigh ing of eggs is part of the work of students at New Jersey Col lege for Women.
