Quietly, among the books, among the stacks of the University
library Lise Lindbaek, the Norwegian patriot-writer, clever
war correspondent and resourceful woman, carries on her many
activities in her quiet and unassuming way. Though far away
from her mother, daughter, and brother in Norway, she works
constantly by, with, and for Norway and Norwegians, both
native and American-Norwegians.
Quietly, she is dynamic, terrific.
Casually, seeming almost embar
rassed, she admits the minor
achievement of mastering six lan
guages: Spanish, Italian, German,
French, Norwegian, and English.
Concerning American young
women, their part and interest in
the war, this Norwegian woman,
who has seen European wars in
action, who even now has all her
relatives and many friends living
under the pressure of nazism in
Norway, has this comment to
make:
“So far, America and American
young women don’t know very
much about total war. I hope you’ll
never get to understand it. It is
true that you have your brothers
and sweethearts in the camps and
overseas. But your lives haven't
been fundamentally changed. Your
lathers are not in the trenches,
your homes haven’t been bombed;
you haven't spent restless nights
in ice-cold shelters.
“You can go on reading and writ
ing and listening to the tilings you
are fond of. You can choose a ca
reer. You haven’t got to tell a lie,
or teach your children to tell lies—
just to escape from the hateful
eyes and ears <xf the oppressors.
Your are young, and your youth
lias not been spoilt.
“But please, if you want to help
your brothers and your sweet
hearts—and 1 know you do—and

even though spring is

still mam a
eool dav of rain and
frosty nights ahead.

if you want to keep your lovely
homes, and have happy children, as
happy as yourselves, and without
the shadow of a war—then do your
utmost now, in this war, to help.
Join the armed forces, or make a
good degree, if that’s what you are
fitted for. Make beautiful homes
to come hack to. Learn to under
stand, not so much 11s, we who are
foreigners, but your own brothers
and fiances when they come back,
and have seen things.
“Don't complain about the very
small things which you have to go
without. Be thankful to be young,
and alive; learn to wait. Do what
you possibly can, to help the war
effort for the duration, and to re
store the war wounds, later on. So
that it may he worth while for
your brother an<J your friend to
come back home, in spite of his
terrible experiences and his scat
tered nerves. Your health, your
faith, and your unbroken will to
create a happy life w ill be main
factors in the reconstruction of
this country and the world.”
Besides teaching Norwegian cul
ture to the soldiers on the campus,
she has been connected with the
American government in work for
the OWI, doing translations and
other government work. She has
written some pamphlets and done
special assignmentts for the Nor
wegian embassy and other Nor
wegian offices. Most of her efforts
have been free lance.

horseback riding. She also likes to
swim, cycle, and sew.
Something of a linguist, she
speaks Italian, French, Spanish,
and Portuguese, and her “Amer
ican'’ is progressing. She thinks
that North Americans should learn
the languages of South Americans
as a beginning step in good will.
Her name is pronounced Bee-doo
Eigh-yow, according to her agents.

lAJa/im-up, Anemhhj, * . .
Today at four o’clock students meet candidates and vice
versa. If ever a cut-and-dried nominating assembly' was held
at Oregon, this is the one.
The assembly promises absolutely no element of surprise,
since the ASUO constitution has been interpreted against dark
horse candidates. All the petitions came in on schedule and the
nominees are known, in fact they were known several weeks
ago.
Despite the usual thrill of finding out “who’s up,” this assem
bly has a lot to recommend it. For one thing, neither of the
top candidates have been heard at an alhcampus meeting.
Most of the other candidates will also have their first chance
to speak at today^’s assembly.
Political activities have simmered gently with very few out
bursts during the past week. However, the rallies of both
parties, scheduled for Monday evening, are already in the final
stages of preparation (heard there was some trouble over loud
| speakers, and that the Gr^ek bloc has coined the slogan ‘'Let's
Give Audrey a Holliday”).

Last night’s junior class meeting and the ASUO meeting
today are warm-ups. With a weekend and a few extra days
before the all-important election morn, the wisest politicos
are mighty quiet.—M.M.G.
