Judge Hay Challenges (Continued from t>aae one) dom through association with and instruction from scholars,” he con tinued. Remarking humorously that tlie personnel of the student body seemed unbalanced in that the male element is most noticeable by its a vsence and the female element . lit - le overemphasized, Judge Hay admitted that the impact of war on universities has been severe. lie criticized the over-emphasis on to ihnieal subjects for immediate spectacular results, rather than on a balance of academic studies, dr . ibing the conditions as a lack of s; ;ious planning and patience. r "teeming the return of service ttu u to college after the war, Hay ; xpressed the fear that we will be tempted to relax the standards of university education. “This would he i. gross injury to the men,” 11a; stated. “Give them the best we have and insist that they take just that way.” Judge Hay was introduced by Acting President Hollis. A native . Scotland, Hay ca ne to the Unit ed States in 1900, graduated from the University of Oregon Law school in Portland in 1911 and was for several years a circuit judge residing at Lakeview, Oregon. His three children attended the Uni versity, Margaret graduating in ’37, John in '39, and Douglas leav ing in ’41 to join the army. Ball Courts Little Used “Tennis, like all other activities, is a thing of the past,” said Will Grimes, caretaker of the Univer sity tennis courts, when asked about students playing tennis. The courts, located at 14th and Em erald streets, are open from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m., except on Saturdays and Sundays when they close at 6. They are used by classes from 9 until 12 and from 2 until 4 on Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays. At other times, Mr. Grimes says, the courts are usually vacant. Some intramural tournaments are played afternoons and weekends, but use of the courts is permitted all students and faculty of the Uni versity so long as tournaments and classes are not interrupted. Mr. Grimes remembers that townspeople, by paying small fees, used to use the courts a great deal. Students, too, find little time to play, outside of classes.

Part of the time will be spent in lecture and demon stration.

Last year a similar course was given and was well attended, Miss Petroskey said. Morse Receives Bid (Continued from page one) as chairman on the section on full employment, it was stated: “This section is actually the key to the whole conference, since a full discussion of how to achieve full employment for our groups means also a discussion of the kind of national policies necessary to realize the economic possibilities for America coming up in the per spective of a lasting peace.” Morse spoke at the opening dis cussion of the 1943 wartime con ference. Sparkling With Jewels, Singer Receives Fans “The Lady of the Diamonds,” Bidu Sayao, sparkled with the jewels at her concert Wednesday night. Her gown was silver sequined, delicate pink, and fitted with a high neckline and long sleeves. On each wrist she wore a bracelet, one of diamonds, the other of gold. The ring on her left hand was a large sapphire. Around her neck she wore a diamond necklace and a string of pearls. Her ear rings were diamond pendants. In her hair were waxen begonias of a shell color. True to report, she was tiny and had large brown eyes, red-brown hair, and a charming smile. Autograph seekers crowded around her dressing room, and she called it a “great pleasure” to re ceive them. But many had to be turned away because Miss Sayao faced a crowded concert schedule and was due in Seattle Thursday morning. She had appeared in Portland Tuesday night and had come to Eugene only Wednesday morning, she explained. “The very best,” she termed western audiences with a warm smile. “Very hard work” was her description of concert tours. As for her gowns, she said: “I just pick up several in New York and wear them for my concerts. I don’t make any special selection.” She doesn’t design her own wardrobe, she added, but she ad vises on their style. “After eight years,” she commented with an expressive shrug indicating that selection of clothes had become rather ordinary. Her speech had more than a tinge of a Brazilian accent, and her understanding of English was OF Safety You can be a "sentinel of safety" by safeguarding America’s food supply.
