DregonW Emerald RAY SCHRICK, Editor; BETTY BIGGS SCHRICK, Business Mgr. /Ift OmjwJitant Meeting NEW committee, a very much needed new committee, is being formed on the University campus. It’s such a new committee that a name hasn't even been chosen for it yet. “Balancing committee’’ might he a good name for the group. But it wouldn’t mean the balancing of funds as in a bank. It would mean the balancing of student souls, of their emotions. During a war such as the one in which we’re now engaged, Mr. Average Man, and that includes Mr. Average Student, is very apt to adopt a fatalistic viewpoint; to decide he’ll be killed off eventually anyway, so what’s the use. This psychology is an extremely dangerous one. A student, especially one liable to military call, always needs something to cling to, something to help him keep his emotional balance, and he needs it more than ever in times like these. ^J^IIAT'S why the new committee is being set up. The com mittee plans to organize discussion groups, similar to those in the Love and Marriage series, to be held in all campus living organizations. The general subject of the discussions will be “In What Should College Students Put Their Faith?’’ The subject is not intended to be completely religious, al though, of course, religion plays a major role. The discussions will be sponsored, as is the committee, by the YWCA and the YMCA. A number of noted speakers will be Obtained and they will go to the different houses, give a short introductory ad dress, and then open a general discussion. J^AST October 25 several YMCA leaders got together and they conceived the idea of this committee. At last, their dream is about to be realized. A number of campus leaders along with the YMCA men are meeting tonight at the Anchorage. Out of that meeting, made up of representatives of most of the houses on the campus, will conic ideas presented by men who are used to presenting ideas; men who have their fingers on the pulse of the stud ents ; men who know what the students want. Those men will decide the best methods of presentation of their important subject to the average student. Out of that meeting will come the new committee, a finished product, and with it, for a great many students, will come a new emotional stability, a new religiouss outlook, and perhaps, even a new life. —G. D. W. • • • 6jj fjudo- and Peace look what we learned in judo today!" Two Ore gon men preceded to demonstrate the latest trick hot from their p. e. class. As usual, gay banter accompanied the out of class demonstration. As usual it endpd with a demonstration of the most finished coup of all judo-ists— the Swedish Wrist Lock. What is Judo? Here is a definition straight from the hoys: It is a mild form of Ju-jitsu, which stresses intent to disable. It is part of a self-defense course designed for war-nsc, teaching to fight like with like. New implications were given this course last week, how ever. U. 1’. carried this dispatch. "1 have no fear,” said Joseph C. Grew, former ambassador to Japan, “that our military authorities are likely to be taken in by any mili tary application of the ju-jitsu principles. 1 do feel, how ever, that the American people and the people of nations united with them in war on Japan should he fore-warned against the possibility of a ju-jitsu feint in the realm of diplomacy—namely, a peace offensive.” *, * * jyjAXY a bruised man at'the University will testify that the physical principles of ju-jitsu are not being over looked. lint what about the ju-jitsu of diplomacy? Will the Japanese and Germans win the peace offensive on a ju-jitsu feint? "Now’s not the time to talk peace,” a voice from the wilderness cries. “We have got to win the war first.” Hut would that same voice cry out against teaching the bovs judo before they are in the fight? Now is the time to talk peace. Now is the time to learn all the pressure points, till the holds, so that when it comes to a peace table we’ll be ready for all the tricks. Nearly every class taught at this University relates in some way to the war and those fighting it. These relative points should he stressed, they should be studied and dis cussed. In this way, little by little, an understanding of enemy and ally will be gained. That is what is necessary to ward off a judo feint*in the peace-understanding, plus the ability to fight like with like. These are necessary. When the enemy fights the peace •—he won’t be using the Swedish Wrist Lock. J. W. By JOHN J. MATHEWS Errol Flynn. Frances Farmer. And now Gene Krupa. The idols of the show world are having a rough time these days. Flynn, though, whatever the jury de cides, has become a national hero of sorts, and Frances Farmer has just left everyone in a daze, but Krupa is in a serious spot as far as public opinion is con cerned. He has been charged with con tributing to the delinquency of a minor. Seems his 17-year-old va let, a kid who started tagging him in L.A., was caught by nar cotics agents taking an envelope of reefers from an overcoat be longing to the drummin' man in Krupa’s San Francisco hotel room. Making dope available to minors is a serious business in the Cal code book, and the Fed eral men would probably like to know how the marijuana found its way to Gene’s pocket. The bad pinch for the band man is that most people are too ready to associate jazz and the weed—and the showy, mad style which first brought Krupa to fame looks like the average man’s conception of the drug’s influ ence. Now, more than ever, it is too bad that Krupa’s name became synonymous with drums through this style. Actually, his greatest accomplishments have been the subdued but electrically exciting work he did behind Hampton, Wilson, and Goodman on the old B.G. quartet numbers, and the great, driving beat that pushed Benny’s big band along in the same period. Examples: Moon glow and Bugle Call Rag. Inci dentally, the tub work on both these examples is so subtle that most listeners never h^ar it all, but, when you do bend an ear, it is so alive, so tingling that it will send armies of pins marching up and down your spine. Buddy Rich, idol of the high school ele ment, could never do this. Yet it was the Sing, Sing, Sing type of act that put Krupa, his five drums, and his four cymbals into half-tone day after day. It was the changing - hands - with out - losing - a - stroke gag that the kids yelled for. And it was the mad drummer routine that (Please turn to page eight) tsiiii!i!maiiiiiniiiHimiiinmmii!mtiiiiiljiB!miiimiiiniiii!!i!ii:i!:ni!iiiii!iin!iiii!!iiiiminniiiiinniiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiniiinniiininiiiitliiiiinniiiiiiiii!iiiiiimniiiimiiim;iui^ s 11 Cover the Campus By FRED BECKWITH Tuesday morning.
