‘character who is supposedly a

'that; but’ leaves the girl cooling

- — <q won’t Move”
The picture, which is playing
at the Mayflower this weekend
contains much potentially good
comic material. Most of this
arises from the situation created
when old Mrs. Freeman, who has
been living , in the “Lahesule
Towers”- apartment hotel for
more years than anyone can re
member, refuses to move out
when a university converts the
building into a men’s dorm.
Champagne With Brandy
Besides this basic situation,
euch side episodes as the violent
repercussions when champagne
is spiked with brandy contain the
raw material for many a hearty
laugh. „
But ■‘‘Something to Remember
Is a very poor picture because.
(1) these comic situations are
not fully exploited; (2) the act
ing is strictly from Iowa; (3) the
long-drawn-out story is a miser
able attempt to arouse pathos af
ter the manner employed by ra
dio’s 15-minute soap serials.
This story centers around Mrs.
Freeman’s hopes that some day
her prodigal son—who hasn’t
been heard from since he was ex
pelled from college 27 years ago
._j-wijl return to her with open
arms and repentant heart.
The Angels Sing
She finally thinks she has lo
cated him. The night before his
expected arrival she goes to bed
radiantly happy, the songs of an
gols in her ears. So that she will
never know that the guy really
isn’t her son after all, she con
veniently dies in her sleep.
There is also a love story. We
won't bother to enumerate its
details because if you have seen
it 50 times already its no time to
put down your kaleidoscope and
start in now.
The principal parts are played
by Mabel Paige, Dorothy Morris,
and John Craven as if anybody
was interested.

For years now University men and women have been busy
loudly denying the statement that this institution is a country
club. This year civilian students are having a real opportunity
to disprove this statement, to show the world that this school
is a place where students go for a thorough education, not a
vacation.
This war year our soldier students are setting the pace. When
we consider the hours of class they put in each week, the study
session, and the fact that they still find time to keep their quar
ters in inspection condition and to press their own clothes
after every date when a coed insists she likes to walk* in the
rain—-then we see what a pace is set for the civilian student
carrying many less hours of study, having many less duties
of k.p., no preparation for inspection, and no long hours of stren
uous physical exercises.
Besides the pace set by our own soldier students, we must
consider the pace being set by our soldiers all over the world.
Can we justify what we are doing here in the light of what they
are doing over there? Not unless we are making the most of
our opportunities to learn each day’s lesson well.
There has in the past been a slight feeling on this campus
that it was rather clever to cut classes, to go on sneak dates,
to think of excuses to get off study table. There is nothing
clever about any of that. It is sheer stupidity to pay for a col
lege education and then purposely try to avoid getting it. But
each class missed represents part of the investment lost, and
each lesson not prepared represents more loss.
So it's up to the men and women now in the University more
than any other group that has ever attended this school to prove
that this is NOT a country club.—E.N.

“West Coast Cities Again to Be Light,” an Oregonian head
line tersely announced yesterday morning.
. And so ends a year of darkness, a year of dimmed-out cities,
a year of drawing the shades at sunset and shielding all outside
lights. Now, throughout the Oregon countryside, the friendly
windows of little houses will send a welcoming gleam through
the shadows, and passers-by again may glimpse into the lives
of people who need not fear the light.
When we were children, it was the dark we feared, not the
light. Night created strange shadows and terrifying shapes.
The comforting light of day vanished in the cool dusk, and
with it went all the familiar daytime surroundings. Out of the
dark loomed grotesque and horrible sights. Through the night
walked fearsome Hallowe'en creatures. All security fled when
twilight approached. And perhaps we cried sometimes in the
night, because the night was so big and dark. Then our mothers
turned on the light, and we muttered something about “a bad
dream."
Hi* •i* a*
Most people are a bit afraid of the dark—afraid because they
can’t see, and because everything looks so different, and be
cause night is a lonesome time.
But all over the world today there are millions of people
who are afraid of light. They fear it because light brings no
comfort and no security to them. Light is no welcome friend
to them—it is a pitiless enemy, a quisling betrayer. In its
ruthless glow cities are exposed to the keen-eyed bombardier.
In its reflected glare cities are revealed to the submarine com
mander.
Those who most fear the light are the hunted of Europe,
the crushed, the persecuted. Light to them means capture and
torture and death. Light is pain. They seek sanctuary in the
shadows.
Here in this country fear of light seems strange. When dark
ness comes, we turn on a light. It’s as simple as that to banish
fear.
And freedom from fear will come to all the earth when the
headlines shout, “Cities of the World Again to Be Light.”

Q143
By GLORIA MALLOY
This war isn't being won by men alone. Women are helping
the winning, too. One of our feminine representatives is Jeane
Carlson, ex of the class of '44, and now a full-fledged corporal
in the women’s marine corps reserve. Jeane is stationed at Ar
lington, Virginia, and is living in a barracks with 80 other “lady
leathernecks.” Her actual job is in marine corps headquarters,
Washington, D. C.
Boys, how would you like to
be "nursemaid” to a group of
army nurses ? Sergeant Harry
Prongas, ex-Duck, now stationed
in New York, commands a sec
tion composed entirely of mem
bers of the fairer sex. The army
must have immediately recognized
Harry’s talents for having a way
with the women. Tuff apples, eh,
Harry!
Bud Vandeneynde, last year’s
chairman of the Co-op board and
otherwise “big-wig” on the cam
pus, now attending Columbia uni
versity, will complete his train
ing at midshipman’s school in
about three weeks. After that,
"Where I go, nobody knows!”
Maybe it’s just because Bud is
partial to Theta Louise Gordon,
-but he says, “I’ll take the girls -
back home any time. These
Brooklyn girls—they have ac
cents.”
Second Lieutenant Ted Harmon
of the marine naval intelligence,
former managing editor of the
Oregana and author of “At Sec
ond Glance,” is now to be report
ed in Hawaii. According to
steady, Alpha Chi Arliss BooJfh,
Ted claims he's getting a power
fully smooth tan and loves noth
ing better than to take several
dips in that waTm tropically
heated ocean every week. What, a
life!
John Mathews, Sig Er and last
year’s associate editor of the Em
erald, has recently received his
first stripe from the army. He is
atteending Colorado State col
lege of education training to be
—a clerk. Eight weeks course,
but stiff. John says he has "no
beefs coming" because Colorado
reminds him so much of Oregon.
Could be that Mathews has found
a second paradise? ^
Ex-Emerald editors aren’t ex
empt from transfers in the army.
At least that’s what FFC Ray
Schrick has proved. In six months
Ray has been transferred six
times. His most recent "landing"
is in Geneva, Nebraska, where
he hopes to get a breathing spell.

Up From UO
By PEGGY OVERLAND
They remember him here for
many things: for the fast game
of handball he played, for the rec
ords he set as a three-year var
sity track man, and for the un
usual scholastic record he man
aged to mix with his sports. A
physical education major, a mem
ber of an education honorary, and
an excellent student who was ac
tivity-minded to the extent that
he made Friars, senior men's hon
ary, Delbert Oberteuffer, '23, is
one of the illustrious members of
that “lost generation” class of
1923 that produced such out
standing men as Palmer Hoyt,
publisher of the Oregonian, and
Jay Allen, international war cor
respondent.
He received his B.A. in '23, his
M.A. at Columbia in '24, and at
the early age of 28 became a
Ph.D., something which few men
have been able to attain.
It wasn’t so many years after
Oberteuffer left the University
that he became nationally well
known as the state supervisor of
physical education of Ohio. And
that was just a short step away
from becoming professor of phy
sical education and chairman of
the division of physical education
for men at Ohio State. Long ti
tles but the sort of ones that
were predicted for~4»im when he
was just another lorrg=iegged ath
lete on the campus.
Del Oberteuffer is a prominent
author, along with his physic;^
education career. His works have
included such books as “Personal
Hygiene for College Students,"
“Health and Physical Education
for Secondary Schools," and oth
ers which were written on the
same basis. It is easy to trace his
interests from these titles—in
terests which will be of far great
er importance in a post-war world
when attention will be centered
upon the younger population.
