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.

there, as well as at the univer
sities of Panama, Chile, Cuba, and
Argentina. In addition he is a di
rector of the national library in
Lima.
As a member of Aprista, which
believes in practiced freedom, he
was exiled twice from Peru, in
1932 by President Sanchez Cerro,
and in 1934 by President Bena
vides. He is particularly interested
in social justice for the masses.
This problem is presented by the
large Indian population.
Life Saving Course
To Begin Next Week
A district representative from
San Francisco will be on the cam
pus from April 24 to April 28 to
teach a course in life saving in
struction. Any person with a life
saving certificate is eligible for
the course. Miss Petroskey, assist
ant professor of physical educa
tion, said Thursday that about 10
or 15 persons had already signed
up but that the number who could
take it was unlimited. Those wish
ing to register may do so at the
physical education office.
The course will total 15 hours
and be given every night from
April 24 to 28. Part of the time
will be spent in lecture and demon
stration. The course is designed
for those who wish to receive their
teacher’s certificate and be quali
fied to teach life saving and water
safety methods.
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
