are invited to attend tryouts Octo
ber 17, at 7:30 p.m. in Chapman,
for the second Guild Hall theater
production of the year. The play,
which will be decided upon later,
will be under the direction of Mrs.
Ottilie T. Seybplt. There are many
parts available for men and lots of
fun is in store for those who turn
out, according to the Guild Hall
group.
Candidates Favor Strong World Union
Two Democratic candidates and
one Republican candidate for the
| U. S. senate last night pledged
themselves to support a strong
world organization and blasted
pre-war isolationist spirit preva
lent in both parties.
Speaking in McArthur court un
der the auspices of the Lane county
league of women voters, the three
candidates discussed “Congress
and foreign relations.’’ and at the
close of their speeches answered
questions submitted by the audi
ence.
Upholding President Roosevelt
as the “man of destiny’’ for 1944,
Willis Mahoney, Democrat oppos
ing Guy Cordon, gave his support
to a change to majority ratifica
tion of treaties by the senate and
the house of representatives. He;
favored the plan of maintaining
world peace by regional forces con
trolled by the United Nations. Such
a plan, he said, could mean large
standing and possibly opposing
armies for the powers upholding
the peace in the various sections
of the world unless the United Na
tions controlled the distribution of
forces.
Wayne Morse, Republican nom
inee for the six-year term, called
for a non-partisan peace made as
statesmen rather than according
to party affiliations. He cited the
need of complete cooperation be
tween the white house and the
senate.
Criticizing those Americans who
shipped war materials to belliger
ents during the present conflict,
he said a repetition of "that great
offense” should be guarded against.
Morse did not favor changing the
two-thirds rule on treaties in the
senate, stating that such a move
would "establish executive tyranny
in the government” if the execu
tive was in control of the ma
jority.
“Limitless, unconditional sov
ereignty is finished,” said Edgar
Smith, Morse’s opponent. This has
been proved twice in this genera
tion. He favored the regional basis
for preserving peace. Military con
scription after the war also re
ceived his support.
Mrs. Eric Peterson introduced
Dr. Edna Landros, head of the
classics department, who presided
at the meeting.
The program at the Igloo begins
at 8 p.m., and all University people
are asked to be in their reserve
seats at that time. ,
Following the Bricker speech,
all campus girls’ living organiza
tions are holding open house for
visiting men. According to an an
nouncement by Mrs. Alice B. Mar
duff, assistant dean of women, 1 o
the Heads of Houses meeting, the
time is 9:30 to 10:30.
Barbara Pearson and Bob Smith,
co-chairmen of the affair, expe.t
at least 500 students to congre
gate at the Southern Pacific depot,
north end of Willamette street, at
6:30 tonight. After an early dinner,
students affiliated with camp- g
