And, what is more, the sweet young thing doesn’t object' ill. the least. She isn’t drunk, either. Altogether, “Someone to Re member” ’ bears about as much resemblance to life as “Little Women’* does to “The Grapes of 'Wroth”'”’. - — <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.

Entered as second-class matter at the ebstaffi&t. Eugene, Oregon. 9ts& 9nveAt*m*tt . . . 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. • • • *11*6 'IfeaA. ojj SkadaupL “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.” -J.N. iBininiinBnHHUfiiiiiiiiniHiimHiiHnnffl I IF A BUDDY HUM! 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. Tufts College Medical school celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. 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.
