By BOB CHAPMAN Softball returns to the campus Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. when Hamilton Leaders tangle with Campbell co-op. and Marion Huff s Purity Boys meet the strong Alder hall ten in the opening games of the 1945 intramural season. Two leagues have been formed, the American and National, so as to equalize team strength and give, each squad an opportunity to play a return bill. Hamilton Leaders are rated as the team to bet in the Am erican league but the Esquires, Campbell co-op, and Omega hall cannot be underrated even though they lack experienced ^material. The National league is anyone’s race because the strength of the four clubs is evenly distributed. Entries in the National league are: Purity Boys, Alder hall, Sherry Ross hall, and Yeomen. Games will be played every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in tbe field behind Gerlinger, weather permitting. Although ■ openiftg play has been scheduled for Monday evening it was rolled back to Tuesday so as to enable the basketball team to attend a Chamber of Commerce meeting. The winners of the two divisions will meet in the little worlds series May 25, 28, and June 1 to decide the championship. Play is divided into two halves of six games each with a one week respite. Postponed games will be made up during this week ^according to Anse Cornell, graduate manager, who sponsored the idea of softball competition and drew up the playing schedule. Each club will field a team of ten men and playing squads are limited to 20 members. Games will be of the usual seven inning- variety unless called off by the officials because of darkness. The 7 p.m. playing time was adopted because of conflicts with afternoon classes. All games must be played on the sched uled dates unless other arrangements are made with Anse Cornell by the managers of the two clubs. The complete playing schedule follows: American League April 17—Hamilton Leaders vs. Campbell co-op. April 18—Omega hall vs. Esquires. April 20—Hamilton Leaders vs. Omega hall.

Roosevelt was very much interested in the welfare of the people, and the CCC and NYA were among the first steps which directly helped alleviate the effects of the depression.” The civilian conservation corps was costly, reached only a minor ity of the young men and did not help the girls. The NYA found em ployment for young men and wom en in their own communities and enabled them to continue their education. The University received $301,000 from the government for NYA student aid and approximately 1500 University of Oregon students owe their college educations to this program. At that time, Onthank said, most of them worked for the University in the library, labora tories, the news bureau, offices, etc., at 35 cents per hour. They were able to live in the co-ops for $20 per month. Without Roose velt’s NYA these hundreds of peo ple would have been lost to the educated world. Veteran Aid The GI Bill of Rights, recom mended and favored by President Roosevelt from its very outset, in conjunction with rehabilitation aid for disabled World War II vet erans, this year is keeping over a hundred students in the University. Without this government aid many of these men would be unable to continue their education. Now, partly through the efforts oi Roosevelt and his policies, these men are provided their tuition and $50 to $75 a month for one year plus the length of time they have spent in the service of their nation. Both the works progress admin istration and the public works ad ministration, organized early dur ing Roosevelt’s term of office to help the nation back to its feet after the telling knockout blows of the depression, have contributed much to the lasting beauty of the University of Oregon campus. Uni versity building projects in the last ten years have cost a total amount of $1,200,000; $400,000 of this sum for PWA projects, was granted to Oregon by the federal government under Roosevelt. PWA built the main library, Chapman hall, the men’s physical education building, the west grand stand of Hayward football field, an addition to the heating plant, and the infirmary. For WPA projects the Univer sity received over $500,00 from Washington. Steam heating in U. of O. buildings is conducted throughout the campus through a mile and a half of underground steam tunnels built by WPA. WPA built the Howe baseball field fence and gates, the Dads gates on Elev enth avenue, the acoustic system in McArthur court, most of the walks and landscaping on the cam ' Pus> remodelled the men’s pool, and the old library into the law school, turfed Hayward field, and spon sored several clerical research pro jects, according to J. O. Lindstrom, University business .manager. The figures alone show that the Roose velt administration has been in valuable in contributing to the progress of the school.

She has made her magnificent contribution to Allied victory by reason of Stalin's lavish sacrifice of Russian manpower and lend-lease from Britain and Am erica. As usual, the eternal Polish question is the crux of the present international situation. Britain and France went to war in 1939 to save the Polish state from Nazi aggres sion. Now Poland has been raped for the fifth time, with Allied ap proval. Stalin seemingly is not the despot that people imagine. At Yalta he pleaded that his col leagues forced his hand.
