Certain service men are in a position where they have time to take extension work ; others are sent directly by the armed force to a technical training cen ter. In both cases, recruit has a chance for University credit in subjects studied. Just what courses will count and just how many hours the course receives depend on the individual school which receives the record. Oregon, for example, could not give credit for armed force courses which have no connection what soever with this University. There is every reason to believe, however, that many subjects, which can be interpreted in terms of math, physics, psychology, or other specialized work will receive accredited hours toward the student’s degree. It is similar to the case of a student who transfers from Har vard, Washington State or any other accredited school to Ore gon. Some of his work may be of such nature that it cannot be accepted here. But a large part of it possibly is good for Uni versity degree credit. * * * 'T'HIS UNUSUAL opportunity is offered men of the armed forces through the Armed Forces Institute. Army, navy, and marine work is of such high calibre that it has been recog nized by all regional accrediting agencies in the United States. Soon after the student enters service, he can sign with the In stitute, and thereafter that body will keep track of all technical and extension training he receives. This step to grant academic credit eliminates all the incon sistency of World War I in granting hours for armed service. One school would offer generous “blanket” credit for every year in the army, another school would give no credit. Hundreds of other institutions ranged somewhere between these two ex tremes. The serviceman of World War II can return with the complete satisfaction that the mental training he has received will be recognized somewhat equally in every institution of the country. The fact that educational accrediting agencies also recognize the armed force courses as “official” eliminates need for special “exams” from each school before granting credit in eligible subjects. Seniors requiring only a few hours to graduate can now re ceive their degree while in fighting forces under a standard ized plan. Other students, anxious to speed post-war gradua tion, can build toward a degree while in training. The plan will not help every student: Some, like Joseph Stalin, will be too busy fighting to think of anything else. But to those who are picked for technical training, or to those who have time for extension courses, the plan is a definite opportunity for educa tion while fighting a war. • • 9 "Aide 9*tdlla . 'J^ODA\ at cloven o'clock Dr. K. Stanley Jones, a missionary who has spent SO years working with the people of India, will address the University in the final assembly of the term... Dr. Jones' visit conies at an extremely interesting time view ed in the light of world circumstances. Gandhi is in the six teenth day of his proposed 20-day fast and each day is report ed to be growing weaker. If the leader of the Hindu people in India should pass on as a result of his fast the situation in the far east might well become extremely serious. To date the Indian people have co operated to some extent with the British government. * * * J\' HIS thirty years work in the East Dr. Jones has reached all classes, and should be well versed on the ideas of all con cerning the British and their allies. Perhaps he will venture an opinion regarding the situation should Gandhi die as a result of his protest, and it is highly probable that he will have some very interesting information about the whole situation in the Oriental theater of the war. War on war, Dr. Jones is a man who has seen India from the inside. Spending half of the normal life span of a man in a country strange to most of us should in itself be a high recom mendation for today's program. •—T. J. B. Problems Of Peace (The following comment on our problems in establishing peace after World War II was submit ted by Walter Korel, junior in philosophy. It presents a new slant to post-war questions, which are under such heavy cross fire at this time.—Ed.) As the war progresses, we find increasing emphasis being placed upon post-war planning. The es tablishment of a just and lasting peace in some instances looms more significant than the actual military capitulation of the Axis. It has been said that this diver sion from strict concentration on military matters is detrimental to the war effott. However, most Americans realize that it is in reality only concentrated prac tical mindedness. To believe that a social order in which the na tions of the world can dwell to gether in peace can and will be established is perhaps one of the few things which reconciles us to our status of belligerency. Faulty Peace As a result of the faulty peace efforts which followed in the wake of World War I, we have war today. Now more than ever before we realize that we must not only be victorious on the mil itary fronts, but we must con quer the world on the battlefield of ideals as well. In order to accomplish this pur pose we must render some con vincing demonstration that de mocracy is the highest type of social order. Thus far we have failed miserably. Small wonder that well educated political phil osophers have criticized our way of life as being unable to adapt itself to changing world condi tions, and that the nations of Europe have turned to strange and unfamiliar doctrines in the vain hope of restoring their na tional unity. Responsibility, Too If we succeed in convincing the world of the workability of a so ciety based upon the fundamental doctrines of civil, political, and economic justice, we must then be prepared to assume the re sponsibility of its inauguration. (Please tuni to page three) Local music talk is centering about the annual AFM union benefit deal at the Winterland the other night. Slated to ap pear were George Carey, Wayne Ryan, Herschel Davis, and Art Holman. Carey jumped, Ryan flopped, Davis stunk, and Holman failed to drop around; batting average, .250. n. iul Ui people, muuumg luc customers, the other musicians, and myself, would like to know the straight dope on why Mr. H. did not show on this occasion. It isn’t nice to believe, after Art's generous and publicized gesture to vocalist Marge Knowles at the Eugene hotel Saturday eve, the fact that all the performances at the benefit were unpaid had any thing to do with his notable ab sence. Carey Trrrific Getting back to the Carey combo, I can safely say that the consensus is that he was terrific. There is a vast store of talent in this crew’, and if it weren’t for the man-hungry fighting serv ices, I’d predict the finest cam pus combination of full size since I first started to the institution in 1941. One lad who deserves special attention is dark-haired trammist - saxist arranger Bob Hays. As in the Franchere jazz concert at Uni high the other day, he’ll rock the britches off you with the slip-horn and then turn around and play long,deli cious choruses on alto that seed gremlins racing up and' down your spine. No introduction is needed for such of George’s men as Hal Har din. Goodman Again From the Hollywood Palladium these nights is coming the steam ing output of old B. G. himself. Of course, the maestro’s clarinet alone is just about enough to make any band a contender for national honors, but the nice part of it all is that the maestro’s clarinet is not alone. There is a fine crew backing him up, as anyone wdio has listened recently can tell you. Check them soon if you think about it. • * * What, dear friends, has hap pened to the once-great Pete Kyllo ? Playing a 10:45 air shot every Tuesday and Thursday over the local ether agitator, he is one-third of the trio at O. Clingman’s tavern on the Spring field road.

He thinks that because I say “I knew a Theta once” that I want to meet each and every Theta. Now this is not a bad idea, but it so happens that I have one particular Theta in mind. Let me tell you about my progress with this Theta. On the Boat Sunday I am standing outside the Heilig hashing over Thetas and Pi Phis and Alpha Phis with the doorman, whom I happen to know, when suddenly the door opens and out comes this Theta. Naturally I stand there and gape slightly, and finally she says, “Hello, Bill.” Now this tremendous progress is encouraging, for it seems that I am finally getting on the boat. I am so happy I almost run and try to break down the doors, but I decide not to because: 1. I have not had my vitamin pills. 2. The doors are two inches thick. 3. My life insurance premiums are not paid up. 4. She is escorted by a charac ter who has had his scrap metal planted on her since the begin ning- of fall term. Sad Situation Point No. 4 is somewhat of a sad situation, as you can see. It looks as if there will be some slight difficulty before I get to know this Theta better. However, there may still be a chance, so I will call this Theta up right now and ask her for a coke date. Let’s see, the number is 2340, isn’t it? Here goes, Nellie. It’s All Free And now a word from our sponsor, the makers of Dripsi Cola. Kiddies, have you sent in yet for your secret decoder pin? Well, why wait another daay? Just collect 4,634 caps from bot tles of Dripsi-Cola and send them along with your name and ad dress and $52.91 to cover mailing expenses, to Little Orphan Fan nie, in care of the station to which you are now now listening. Remember, this cffer expires to morrow, so hurry. Please pass the Tootsie-Rolls. to say that his performance last Tuesday was an all-time low in his work, and is best forgotten. Tsk. tsk. He has really seen some great moments. By BEBNIECE DAVIDSON Yell Queen The student cheering section at the University of Idaho will be led by a coed for the next few terms. She was selected by the Idaho executive council to take over the duties of the former yell king because of her ability and because she would be more likely to remain in school. -—The Idaho Argonaut Russian Correspondence Several letters from Moscjr7 university students have been 1 - ceived by the Slavic honor so ciety at the University of Cali fornia. One letter tells how the Rus sian students are helping the war effort and asks, “What are you doing in this direction? How are your studies proceeding in time of war?” and other similar ques tions. Another letter continues: “The region where we are working has experienced all the terrors of German occupation. It was im portant to show to the people that have lived through a great moral shock that our Soviet youth has remained unchanged, that it has kept its gaiety, ener gy, devotion to the motherland, a will and ability to do every thing possible for the attainin'- «•/' of victory.” —The Daily Californian Cadets Move In No classes were held Friday af ternoon or Saturday of last week on the Montana State university campus. This was because most - of the students were busy moving out of the dormitories to make way for the army air cadets. —The Montana Kairnin * St * “Waldo Women Keep Fit” Waldo hall coeds at Oregon State are really taking the phy sical fitness program seriously. Each week night from 10 to 10:30 the girls meet in the social rooms of the hall to perform their vari ous exercises. —Oregon State Baromet^' Collegiate Ode Here’s to the scholar In peace rest his soul. But good luck to the men Who come and go With guns and packs And bay'nets and such. Do we give them credit? Well, no! Not much. The scholar says, They're an ignorant lot, But what has the scholar That the soldier “ain’t” got?
