1 Oregon's Dream Girl Tells About Herself— —See Page 3 Prisoner of Japs J Gives Interview— —See Page 2 VOLUME XLV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1944 NUMBER 57 Total Victory* Group Revive Peace Talks 1'ruler the joint sponsorship of the war and peaee class and the senior editing- class of the school of journalism, a Total Victory league tWii go into action within the next week on the campus, according to Marguerite Magill, temporary chairman of the group. Having chosen the slogan, “Win that part of the war we lost last time’’, the Carnegie-endowed International Relations club is being- re vived under the new title to study and discuss problems of the peace, and of world re-organization, from the student standpoint. The temporary council, elected Tuesday, includes Lois Wins ley, sophomore in architecture and allied arts, Anne Seripter, freshman in liberal arts, and Ruth Dozier, senior in journalism. Dates for the first meeting will be set by this committee. At the first regular meeting, nomination and election of permanent officers will be held. The idea of a Total Victory League was first worked out in the senior editing class, and then presented to the war and peace class, which was asked to register its support by entering the organ ization. Students in this class registered in an overwhelming- majority. At the suggestion of Dr. Victor P. Morris, dean of the school of business administration, the Total Victory league was combined with the International Relations club, which was active in other years on *jgti campus. When the league is organized, regular discussion meetings will be held—to which all students may go with their questions and com ments, Miss Magill emphasized. “The Total Victory league won’t be a propaganda club. What we want to do is get together and hash out some of the peace problems because it’s important that students let people know what they think is a good plan,” Miss Magill said. Barbara Bentley, sophomore in music, will be the special soloist Saturday at the Dad’s day luncheon where she will ap pear on the program with Ernest Haycox, main speaker on- the jj£.ogram. With the Dad’s day committee doing their utmost to plan a program that will be attractive to all dads coming to the campus Saturday, and with houses giving full cooperation this should defin itely be a succesful affair, Bob Hemphill, general chairman of the program, said Tuesday. The event is being planned with plenty of entertainment for both dads and mothers as well as to give parents and children a good opportunity to visit with each other. Dads coming from Portland on the 12:45 train Saturday noon will be met at the station by a T^eption committee including Janet Marugg, official welcome girl of the weekend.
