Kerensky Plans University Visit . . . See col. 2 South American Gill Compares U. S., Perj . . . See page 4 VOLUME XLVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 21, 1945 NUMBER 82 O T-' S~* T TTTIff XT X ' Girls to Sell Stamps With Cokes Today "Buy a stamp first,” are the words students will hear today as they walk into the Side for a coke or coffee. The blue-sweat ered stamp girls stationed at the door of the Side have re ceived the strictest orders to al low no one entrance unless that stamp, which means so much to over there, is purchased. -ft has been reported by Chair man Martha Thorsland that sur prise entertainment arranged by campus master-minds will take place at the Side sometime during the afternoon and again in the evening. No one knows the nature of this mysterious program but rumors have it that Evans Sax is planning to present several choice tidbits. Stamps at Game Tonight’s game at McArthur court will also be a scene for sale of stamps. Girls operating a booth ftM posted at various entrances have been asked by President Hol lis to refrain from personal solici tation. "However,” said Phyl Per kins, stamp promotion chairman, “it is hoped that students will buy voluntarily and boost the too rapid ly declining total of stamps sold at games and assemblies.” The University war board is striving to attain the goal set at the beginning of the term, the pur chase of a field ambulance for use on some war front. Said Carol Wicke, war board chairman, “Our parents may be buying thousands of dollars worth of bonds, but that fact does not relieve our personal responsibility and that responsibil ity can be fulfilled only by sacri ficing a part of our time or money each day. Some students may be tempted to purchase food at the Side today by utilizing someone else’s war stamp. This kind of op eration will only defeat the pur pose of the whole plan. All of us must get behind this with every thing we’ve got!” Dime Dinners Net $I58 Total Last week’s sale of war stamps brought the total collections for the dime dinners to $158.50. The Al^ha. Gamma Deltas were in first place for the night’s contribution with $22.75.

Author Will Speak At UO Assembly Ernest Haycox, author of over 20 western novels including sev eral best sellers, will speak at his alma mater during the regular 11 a.m. all-campus assembly Thurs day morning at McArthur court. The common man as represented by “Joe Doakes, Esq.” will be the subject of Haycox’ talk. The as sembly will be held in honor Pf Washington’s birthday. “Ernie,” as he is affectionately referred to by his former short story instructor, W. F. G. Thacher, graduated from the University as a member of the class of ’23. Among his more popular books are “Southern Pacific,” and “Stage coach,” both of which have been made into movies. While at the University Haycox was among those students who ini tiated and gave the original im petus to the student union project Russian to Tell Of Experiences Alexander Kerensky, Rus sian statesman who unleashed the Russian revolution, became premier of the 1917 provisional government and then vacillat ed between extremism and re action until he was ousted by the Bolsheviks in 1917, will be on the campus next week to give a series of lectures to stu dents and faculty on “Russia and the International Situa tion.” Mr. Kerensky’s oratorical pow ers made him a chief figure in Russia before the revolution. He was very active in political affairs and at one time held the position of minister of war and marine ac tivities. Later he was accused of creating disorganization in the Russian army and escaped to Eng land where he published “Prelude to Bolshevism,” in 1919 and “The Crucifixion of Liberty” in 1934, re lating his story of the Russian revolution. He came to the United States in 1938 from Paris, where he pub lished a newspaper called New Russia. Unique among Russian statesmen, Alexander Kerensky is known as an eloquent spokesman for the cause of Russian freedom and postwar cooperation. Attention! Social chairmen!

Uncertainties regard ing the exchange schedule, which was printed in Saturday’s Em erald, can be cleared by calling Virginia Harris, Hendricks hall.

Davis em phatically urged all students and faculty members to contribute at least the 25 cents being asked.

Bill, a graduate of Ashland (Ore gon; high school, joined the mer chant marine in April, 1944, and after a 10-ciay deck department training period in San Francisco shipped in December, 1944. The first' trip to Hawaii on a rolling, cargo-laden Liberty ship lasted one month; the second, on a similar vessel, required six months at sea and its itinerary included many of the places in the South Pacific which were headlined on the na tion's front pages recently as the most prominent names-in-the news. Ennui Spurs Study “From Frisco we went to Pearl Harbor and then orf to Eniwetok in the Marshall islands. We were anchored there for two months and almost went crazy with noth ing to do but reread whatever we had on board and waste our time and money playing craps. That’s when we really needed books the most; you get the urge to study (Please turn to paye jour) Jim Bartelt hit the first field goal for the Ducks, a bare five sec onds after the starting whistle. The Vandals momentarily tied ti n score and later, at the seven-min ute mark, went ahead S-7.

From that point at the eight and one-half minute mark, until two minutes before halftime, the Vandals were helpless as the Due i n poured through a scoring barrage of 18 counters. , Scoring Splurge Starts Reedy Berg replaced Smith at forward, and touched off the see- - ing spark with a push shot from the side.
