Indian Race Still Grows While the whites are ignoring America’s Indians and waiting for them to disappear, the total Indian population has been stead ily increasing, according to Dr. H. G. Barnett, anthropologist, Who will discuss the resulting problems with the University lec ture series audience in the fac ulty room of Friendly hall, Thursday, at 7:30 p.m. "The American Indian popula ton in the U. S. is larger now ian it was 20 years ago, and it will be larger 20 years from now than it is today," he declared, remarking that the general pub lic seemed to still believe the old legend of the “vanishing red man.” Dr, Barnett will explain Thurs day how the Indian’s problems, which are essentially the same as the white man’s, have been magnified through this neglect, as well as the isolation and crowding of the reservation sys tem. Using unemployment as an ex ample, he showed how the reser vation with its comparatively large population for the area has a relatively small number of jobs for the available manpower. Similar causes of friction be iveen the white and Indian fac ^ns which he will discuss are the land problem, which involves valuable timber and agricultural property, special privileges in game laws, and the utter differ ence in psychology of the red man.

Mildred Spies (Continued from f'atje two) would be necessary to report he started newspaper work on the staff of the Oregonian and that an early notable assignment was coverage of the San Francisco fire. Later he went to New York as a free-lance writer aifd im mediately after the outbreak of the war was assigned to Europe -—going immediately into Bel gium. He wras then engaged by the New York World to cover the French front and was credited with giving the first account of the original British expeditionary forces. Part of his border-sprinting ex ercise in Russia paid off in roy alties when he published a book concern in g the revolution— “Through War to Revolution;’’ After the war he remained with the New York World till it was sold—and then became diplomat ic correspondent of the Associat ed Press in Paris—and later for the International News Service and Universal Service. Once Hitler apologized to Dosch-Fleurot’s lovely Russian wife Aina. Mr. and Mrs. Dosch Fleurot were guests at an elabor ate party given Hitler by rotund Goering. During the course of the evening Mrs. Dosch-Fleurot be came separated from her hus band and while looking for him wandered near the table of “the” man. Accidentally the eyes of Hitler and Mrs. Dosch-Fleurot met. A few minutes later a page came up to her and said Hitler wished her to join his party. Very flustered she explained she was sorry but she had to find her hus band. The page soon returned and —bowing low—reported, “Herr Hitler sends his apologies and says he mistook you for someone else.” Another time Dosch-Fleurot was one of the invited newsmen to go with Benito Mussolini to Libya as he paraded his pet col ony. Living in tents in the desert the party dined on fish from the Adriatic—and iced champagne. Quite different from the present day Italian diet in Libya. As a memento of this jaunt Dosch-Fleurot was given a huge, tooled Morocco leather notebook ■—with the full account of the trip printed in Italian. Inciden tally, this Oregon alum, speaks fluent, Italian, Russian, German, and French. Among. other things he can claim the French “Legion of Honor’’—although niece Mary Ann Campbell is not quite certain for what the honor was awarded. When Hitler’s war machine started moving in 1939, Arno and his wife headed for the United States to survey the situation from a safe distance. While in Oregon he visited the University campus and addressed a Univer sity assembly. However, the lure of excite ment proved to be too much for Dosch-Fleurot so he headed back for the continent in 1940—and from there he wrote his syndicat ed column, "The European Back ground,’’ which appeared in the Oregon Journal. Although temporarily re strained by German S.S. troops, Arno Dosch-Fleurot, ’00, is ex pected to pop into the news again any time. He’s probably getting terribly curious about the latest developments in French politics. VALENTINES Funny, Mushy, Sober and Frivolous!

The wing which was closed down- earlier in the school year because of lack of help was re-opened this week, making room for ten ad ditional patients. Mrs. Mildred Johnson, nurse, and Mrs. Hanna, practical nurse, have been added to the infirmary staff for the duration of the meas les, mumps and catarrhal fever epidemics. Mrs. Johnson is tenta tively slated to work permanent ly at the infirmary on a part-time basis. Highlights and sidelights from the overflowing infirmary and its inmates this week: Down Again Nancy Weston is doing her third stretch in as many terms at the “pill palace." Last time was Thanksgiving vacation. Says she, “I love the place." Bob Gillon, mea-sles victim, has opened a new night "spot" in his room called the "Club Red Dot." Slogan: “Come on iij—the fun is contagious." Aileen Clark claims that what happened to her comes under the heading of "hot" news . . . She lit a cigarette and her hair caught fire. Oh well, bald-headed girls arc something to write home about. Don't Believe Signs The nurses are thinking of call ing out the mounted police or the FBI to help them enforce their "no visitors” orders; And then there are the three girls from Ward 5 who were caught sitting out on the window ledge screaming at passing boys. When they laughingly suggested that maybe they should be trans ferred to the psychopathic ward, the joke was on them ... Ward 5 IS the psychopathic ward! ' Others in the infirmary Tues day were Pat Spencer, Kay Lloyd, Barbara Hawkins, Larnelle Ken f nedy, Iris Hill, Gordon Parr, Jack DuLong, Malcolm McEwan, John Williams, Don Shirley, Scott Wheeler, Jim Gautier, Curt Lind Icy, Breen Murphy, Tom Drou gas, Matilda Baricevic, and Mar jory Ott. Heilig Books Runyon's (Continued from pattc six) ' ■ her hospital bills by saving- his money and borrowing- from friends. He keeps her in the hos pital, sends her flowers, and tarings her left-over champagne and caviar from the club. Finally he runs out of funds and decides to take her to Flor ida. The hilarious trip and the adventures which she and Pinks have in Florida, make this cne of the most human and entertain ing films to show locally since “Mrs. Miniver.” Damon Runyon, who probably knows Broadway better than any man alive, took the characters for this screen play and for oth er stories which lie has written from the experiences cf people along the Great White Way. The picture will open Sunday at the Heilig theater, and will be carried over to the Mayflower later in the week to run there Thursday through Sunday. Between the Lines (Continued front page two) of the principles outlined above, the rest should be easy. Don't worry toe much should you still have trouble getting a. date, It’s pretty close to a closed weekend. SOCIAL CALENDAR Wednesday—AWS assembly. Thursday Heart Hup, 3:30-0 TO.
