WITTWKR At the request of American Fed eration of Labor leaders, the Uni versity of Portland (Oregon) in augurated a two-term school cov ering the principles of economics, labor problems, comparative eco nomic systems and the develop ment of American industry. The school will be open to members of the AFL and also to any unaffili ated persons. College credit is to be given to all eligible persons at tending. Stated the president of the University, “Men everywhere now hunger for peace, and this in cludes industrial peace. The Uni versity of Portland feels that it is making a real contribution toward a better postwar world.” There are only a very few schools of this kind in the country; the largest being conducted by Fordham university in New York. Mortar Board, senior women’s honorary, at Indiana university is sponsoring a series of meetings designed to develop campus lead ership. Representatives from uni versity organiaztions will explain the functions and purpose of each, and .. members . of., the., governing body of the school, both faculty and student, will discuss the polit ical, organizational, and economic set-up . . . Seems like on every campus lliere are a lot of kids who just never know the score about their own school until some one practically pushes the infor mation down their necks, usually by the time they are seniors, too.

I--, P^ia and Can TO THE EDITORS: In as much as Wayne L. Morse has announced he intends to run for U. S. senator opposing Rufus Holman in the Republican pri mary, many of U. of O. students have become extremely interested in exercising their right and priv ilege to vote. These students be lieve the Holman-Morse contest much more important than any campus fight for vice-whoozis of some look-at-us committee. However, most students have never voted before and it would indeed be helpful if the Emerald were to inform the students of the necessary steps to be taken in or der to register for the forthcoming primaries and general election.

The class discovered itself hitting some mighty hard bumps last term it: the form of band difficulties that really had it stumped. But the sophomores have worked persistently at the problem and now have the situation neatly solved. The Sophomore Whiskerine has been a tradition, and the class saw the importance of keeping it alive as both an oppor tunity to entertain the whole school and also to have a gooc time themselves. Working themselves out of the trouble they discovered last term, they have now announced that they arc going to have their dance the first weekend of spring term. The affair looks like it should be a definite success that the whole campus will enjoy. Carefully organizing their plans early and arranging for a good outside orchestra, they seem to be full}’ protecting themselves from any possibilities of a last minute up-set in plans. Spring Fever has been chosen as the theme of the affair that will take place March IS in McArthur court with Marilyn Holden as chairman. The class had decided to continue the tra dition of selecting a Betty Coed and Joe College, and they have also wisely decided to fully include the soldier students in the dance by choosing a GI joe at the same time Joe College is elected. :!= =!: * * The green machine of student life at Oregon is running again, and the whole campus is glad to see that the sophomores are doing an excellent job of carrying on a tradition and doing their part in keeping up the old “Oregon spirit”. Congratulations, sophomores! E. A. X. lAJltittienX Qain . . . Dr. William C. Jones, head of the department of political science, has just been appointed new president of Whittier col lege. Oregon students are glad that this able political science professor has received recognition by way of such an appoint ment. but will be sorry to sec the University lose Dr. Jones. Dr. Jones came to the University in 1941 as head of the department, Before that, he handled public relations work at Willamette university. He is an alumnus of Whittier college, receiving his bachelor of arts degree there in 1926. He obtained his master of business administration degree at the University of Southern California in 1929 and his doctor of philosophy de gree from the University of Minnesota in 1940. The political scientist has also studied at Washington, California, Oregon Columbia and Willamette. * * * * Thai’s the academic record. But a professor is not judged by his academic record—at least, not in student circles. Other pro fessors may possibly rate him by it, but students have another unit of measure—what is he like in the classroom? Judged by student standards, Dr. Jones is an A'plus professor, for his students like him and enjoy his lectures. Said one of Dr. Jones' students, in a tone of wonder and admiration, “He actually makes political science interesting. You wouldn’t believe it.” No successor to Dr. Jones has yet been chosen. A man a; well qualified as he and as popular with his students will be hard to find. We hope the new political science head will be an able man—he will need to be on two counts. First, this country will need a corps of young, well-trained political scientists after the war to help in the task of reconstruction. And second, he w ill find the record left bv Dr. William C. Jones a challenge. J. N. " Statistics show that so many women are getting bald that by 1962 there will be as many bald females as males.

WEN SMITH People don’t like their names in print—especially if what you say about them is true. Last Friday s Emerald was no more off the press than one of the boys came up to your penthouse on the Campbell roof to ball you out. He didn't want his name mentioned in the same column with anything funny. He has a lot of friends overseas who wouldn’t want to know he is hav ing fun. In pedantic terms he let you know he was highly indignant. He demanded an apology for printing his name; so you promised to apologize—to your readers. And you resolved to quit making like a Winchell. When you start playing with mud you get it all over you. Sitting in lecture, you remember there are only three more weeks until furlough time. So you start thinking up good war stories to tell to relatives and friends who will think you’ve been on Tarawa. Right away the ideas start com ing, and you commence writing a scenario. Scene: the jungle of New Guinea. You sit noiselessly, waiting for the Japs. You are alone, and with no arms. They were shot off at Tar awa. So you sit there like Venus de Milo in the jungle. Suddenly out of a tree drops a big, black hairy ape—whom you immediately recog I nize as your first sergeant. But no! It isn’t the sergeant—it’s alive! The ape looks at you; you look at the ape. The ape snarls; you snarl. The ape hates you; you hate the ape. It’s a case of Gibbon take. By way of getting acquainted, you take off one shoe and thrmv it at the ape, at the same time singing a chorus of “Shoe, Shoe, Baby.” That gets him into a lath er, and yon decide to take to your heels—but barefoot with the hot breath of the ape is on the back of your neck. Halitosis! Then that old American courage comes to you, and you stop and face the ape. He’s got you! Only a mackerel could save you now. The ape growls, and charges. Like lightning you go into action. You kick the ape smack under the chin! In mid-air he stops and drops. Your toes have gotten tangled in the ape’s shaggy mane—and the poor beast dies of toe-mane pois^ oning. The marines would believe that one. Now you can go home with a chest full of medals—anyway a hope chest. And folks will call you a hero. After all, who was it that knocked off eight zeros this se mester? It’s no sissy’s war. 1 OREGON MUD By CHUCK and SQUIRREL Having suffered nothing more than a few icy stares and cold shoulders, we again plow through the mud to give you tire weekly dope on life and love at Oregon.
