Madame Jonniaux Here YWCA, YMCA Will Hold Joint Meeting Jan. 24 Douglas Moore, president of the U. of O. chapter of the YMCA, an nounced Wednesday, after consul tation with the YWCA executive board, that the two groups would hold a joint session Wednesday, January 24. Moore said that al though during the past year the Y groups have not coordinated on mutual problems, it was with the cooperation idea in mind that the two groups are planning to meet and decide on all-campus activity programs which would include so cial dancing for men and women students, ping pong tournaments, and other activities. Joan Dolph, president of the YWCA, while attending summer school at Columbia university last year, participated in joint YM-YW activities there and found them to be successful. She said, “There is no reason why such a program cannot succeed on this campus as well.” International Observer Hopes for Global Unity By MARGUERITE WITTWER “How I wish that they could ring in world unity,” said Madame Alfred Jonniaux, world traveler and international ob server, in an interview Wednesday at the Eugene hotel. She was referring to a pair of tiny gold earrings that tinkled every time she moved her head. Everything in her thinking, it seems, is subjugated to this one aim of her lecture tour across the country: the desire to bring her audiences to an awareness of their part as individuals in the final goal of global organization. "I really don’t have a plan by «^iich world unity could be achieved,” she explained. ‘‘The ob ject of the lectures is to convince people of the necessity of the cos mopolitan viewpoint regarding in ternational relations. World unity must be political, economic, and cultural. Nations must drop their prejudices; each country has some thing to give.” Mme. Jonniaux’s travels and residence in European countries and the western hemisphere, her native background, and her ac quaintance with many of the inter nationally known personalities that have been painted by her husband, have qualified her to present a lecture both timely and compre hensive. Mme. Jonniaux was born in Eng land and educated there. She met Alfred Jonniaux in London when he was beginning his career as an artist which reached the climax with his appointment as court painter to Belgium’s King Leopold. ‘‘The king and queen were a very devoted couple,” Madame recalled. ‘‘It was a real love match. Royal marriages are arranged, you know, and when Leopold went to Sweden to meet his betrothed, he saw Prin cess Estrid and they fell in love. He married her although she had not been originally destined to be come the queen of Belgium. They were such a simple and democratic pair. He used to visit the studio constantly when she sat for her portrait, and when the queen died soon after in an automobile acci dent it was a very real tragedy.” In Argentina M. and Mme. Jon niaux met the United States am bassador to Spain, Alexander Wed dell, whose wife the artist painted. Later this encounter was to prove very fortunate foer the Jonniauxs were marooned in Spain after flee ing from France when the Nazis took control of th ecountry. It was through the influence of the am bassador that they were able to se cure passage to America on board the clipper and they arrived in the United States in 1941. Mme. Jonniaux said she “loved America” and that she and her husband planned to become citi zens of the country. She enjoys American food and especially ap preciated the cuisine at the Victor Hugo restaurant at Laguna Beach, California. M. Jonniaux is now in San Francisco and this is Madame’s first trip to the Pacific northwest which she described as “so big and so beautiful.” She and her husband lived -''in Faris until four days before the German troops marched down the Champs Elysees. The war, and the experiences endured by the people caught by its armored and fiery tide are incomprehensible to those who have escaped it, Mme. Jon niaux stated. Her traveling companion and manager is Miss Anne Currier, a Virginian, who met Mme. Jon niaux through mutual friends and persuaded the Briton to lecture for the cause of world unity which, it is hoped, will help to prevent fu ture wars.

'Lawyers’Don’t Add Up Claim Business Ad Men By BOB HULL, GENE LEO, and LEN RAY The students of the school of business administration would like to respond in kind, herein, to references made by the lav/ school’s mouthpiece as to the reputations and policies of busi ness school scholars in yesterday's Emerald. It is desired, also, that the FACTS about the activities of the law school be rc-veaJed to the public. It is hoped that misapprehensions caused by lack of knowledge and rational ization on the part of the law school members be rectified. 1. Undoubtedly the thoughts pre sented by the law school men were born during one of their six-hour “Intermissions” at the Side. In any event, Blackstone (or whoever he is i was unhappily being neglected. 2. No comments can be printed concerning the lack of social con tacts after interviews were held with the deans of men and women, Panhellenic, and the night watch man. 3. Of private rooms equipped with fat supplies of cigars, morning papers, radios, and pillows term* <1 “The Salt Mines” . . . we have no comment. Those hour rest periods after listening to KGW soap opeias must be hard to take. 4. If the boy barristers would like the income tax law interpret* d for them before March 15, they are welcome to drop over some day, if one of our men can find a moment to help him during the lunch hour. 5. Members of the business ad ministration school would prefer, in the future, not to be termed "colleagues” of these ersatz law yers.
