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!”

Last week’s sale of war stamps
brought the total collections for

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! Be certain
that ail arrangements for this
evening’s exchange dinners are
complete. Uncertainties regard
ing the exchange schedule, which
was printed in Saturday’s Em
erald, can be cleared by calling

Ducks Wallop Idaho;
Regain League Lead
The Idaho invasion threat turned out to be a hot and cel<i
fizzle, at least for the first night, as the Ducks had little trouble
in turning back the Vandals 56-45.
Putting their “tall fir’’ advantage to the best use over the
height crippled Idaho squad, the Webfoots started to turn
the first half into a runaway riot of baskets.

Bill Davis Tells Experiences . . .
Sailors Recognize Need for Educational Books
By MARGUERITE WITTWER
“After six months at sea the
first place we headed for when we
anchored at San Francisco was a
liquor store and the next place was
a book shop,’’ laughed Bill Davis,
18-year-old freshman in business
administration. He had no inten
tion of appearing facetious for he
spoke on behalf of all merchant
seamen who have spent long days
of boredom on shipboard, reread
ing the meager stock of pulp love
and mystery magazines.
Interviewed Tuesday in conjunc
tion with the just-launched.drive to
collect funds to provide a cargo
vessel with worthwhile reading
material for the seamen. Davis em
phatically urged all students and
faculty members to contribute at
least the 25 cents being asked. The
book campaign is sponsored by the
Propellor club and will end Satur
day, February 24, with a goal of
$300 to be reached by that date.
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

Jim Bartelt hit the first field
goal for the Ducks, a bare five sec

The Vandals momentarily tied ti n
score and later, at the seven-min
ute mark, went ahead S-7. Th< n
the Warren-coached team put tho
hemps in McArthur court through
a workout as they staged theti*
longest scoring spree of the season.
They forged ahead on baskets*
by Hays, Wilkins, and Hamilton.
15-9. Pyne and Carbaugh tossed in
a free throw and a basket to bring
the Vandals within three points ol',
the Ducks.
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
