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:

Mrs. Roosevelt were aware of the
needs of the youth of the nation at
that time,” Onthank stated.
“Franklin D. 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.

Russia at present possesses pow
er greatly beyond the real capacity
of her economy. 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. The Cri
mean conference developed into a
junta of horsetraders. We traded
the right for Russia t<f have three
votes for the abrogation of the
Russo-Japanese neutrality pact.
The Red army is now supreme
in Russia. The marshals want
friendly Soviet-dominated govern
ments upon Russia's perimeters.
The Red army has set up stooge
governments in Rumania, Bulgaria,
Poland, Hungary, and Yugoslavia..
All pre-war democratic leaders
have been purged. Doctors, law
yers, merchants, prosperous farm
ers, and college professors have
been either shot or transported to
the prison camps of Siberia.
Thus Russian rule has been made
easy. An ignorant, apathetic peas
antry is run on pseudo-Marxian
lines by native Quislings trained
by the Commintern. Russian rule
is temporarily popular because the
estates of the landlords have been
divided among the tenants. The
Reds, when their power is solidi
fied, will no doubt collectivize the
peasant holdings.
The San Francisco conference
must succeed. If it blows up little
hope may be held for permanent
peace and the establishment of ,1
world organization to insure free
dom from war and economic pros
perity for the peoples of the world.
