Easter is on the menu, and this’ll probably be the last time a lot of them will have to visit the folks before finals. Finals sound a long way off, but next week is Junior Weekend, and then the term will start to disappear. Hello, Maw—here’s my dirty clothes. Happy Easter, Esther.

I KEEP 'EM FLYING “Seven Sweethearts,” which stars Kathryn Grayson and Van Heflin, opens Sunday at the Rex theater. Mildred Wilson Spies (Continued from page Izvo) It seems quite a long way from majoring in math at the Univer sity of Oregon—to commanding one of the navy's gray fish—and Lt. Commdr. McKinney has risen to prominence the hard way. After being graduateed from Oregon, he flashed back to the east coast where he graduated from the United States naval academy at Annapolis—in 1926. His next venture was into sub marine duty—and this was in terrupted when he was named for special detail in Washington, D. C. Evidently Lt. Commdr. McKin ney felt the call to academic life because he soon entered the law school of George Washington uni versity—and received his LL.B. degree from that institution. But, typically, three days after his graduation—he took over the command of a submarine. He’s 100 per cent navy—in the best sense of the word . . . and his biography reads in the cus tomary naval fashion. Cruises through the Panama canal and around South America, sojourns, in line of duty, in Hawaii. Home Life In fact, it was while he was in Hawaii that his family learned he had become engaged to Miss Janet Thompson. . . . They now have two children. The lieutenant " commander’s achievements are a matter of special pride to Eugeneans. He is a home town product—having been graduated from Eugene high school—and he once lived at 192 W. 19th street. While attending the University he indulged in the usual round of activities—joined Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, enjoyed extensive bull sessions with the boys, crammed for finals . . . and some how developed the background that has made him one of the prominent submarine leaders in World War II. What Lt. Commdr. McKinney is doing now is shrouded in the usual necessary smoke screen of military secrecy. However, if it is in line with his past procedure, the fish in the depths of one of the world's oceans—probably have a grim looking McKinney commanded companion—on the prowl for Axis gnats. • Pierce Sees Early Ally Win, Jap 'So-Sorry' Truce Ex-Governor of Oregon Walter M. Pierce who also served this state as congressman of the sec ond district for ten years pre dicted Monday that the present conflict will end in an early de feat of Germany within the next year and that the Japanese will be expected to prefer a condi tional surrender along- the lines of their former "so sorry" policy. Mr. Pierce predicts that the al lies will accept this offer. The post-war danger, Mr. Pierce believes, will be in allow ing the now interned Japs to in filtrate again to the Pacific coast. He will discuss the Japan ese problem more thoroughly at the luncheon to be held at the Osburn hotel Wednesday noon. Pierce, a democrat himself, feels that the present wartime emergency justifies silence on any discussion concerning a fourth term for President Roose volt. Ho believes that no attempt will be made to nominate Roose velt as a candidate for the presi dency after the war. Think More "We should think a great deal more about winning- this war in stead of so many other matters," he said. "No party has the exclu sive right to say that the govern ment of the other party is good or bad," he added. Mr. Pierce expressed the opin ion that there will be no danger of alien attacks upon the conti nental United States. He blames the recent censure of the last congress upon the fascist element in the country. Ex-Governor Pierce, whose two daughters graduated from the University, is very pleased with the appearance of the campus. He considei's it among the most beautiful campuses in the coun try, ranking with those of Yale. Harvard, and Princeton.
