Historic Book Given To Libe Intended as a gift to the Uni versity of Oregon library, a copy of the official resolution of the Latin American countries of the establishment of a general inter national organization has been re ceived here by Elizabeth DeCou, sophomore in liberal arts. Documented in March just after the Inter-American conference on problems of war and peace held in Mexico City at that time (the Chapultepec conference), this copy is printed in English and was sent by Lie. Rafael Grisi Q., an official in the Mexican foreign office who took part in the conference. This book, writes the official, “has all the information concerning the projects of the different Latin American countries, in regard to toe Dumbarton Oaks proposals, Otat were presented in the confer ence of Chapultepec ...” as a basis for action now being taken at the San Francisco conference. While in Mexico City last sum mer, Miss DeCou stayed at the home of the Mexican official, and had written to him in the hope that he might speak at an assembly on the U. of O. campus. Unable to come, he sent the gift. No Dates, No Nothin*; Closed Weekends Begin Closed weekends begin Monday, May 28 and students will not be allowed to leave the campus until arer final exams.

ODE Staff Plans Annual Banquet at Eugene Hotel By WINIFRED ROMTVEDT They might be called the hardest-working people on the campus; at least they keep it up day after day, with no grades, no pay. But they do have a daily paper to show for their efforts; sometimes they are very proud of it, and sometimes they feel that the results are below par. uie sum ui uie J.JUS gang, Oregon Daily Emerald, and their guests, will celebrate the comple tion of another year of tabloid journalism on Friday, June 1. The medium will be their annual ban quet at the Eugene hotel, at 6 p.m. in the assembly room.

Correction In an Emerald editorial yester day it was stated that the system of using the registrar’s records for the poll books was new this year. This was a mistake, as the same system was used last year. How ever, in the 1943 elections news bureau records were used.

Sentimental Star Brings Opera to Igloo By MARYAN HOWARD Rise Stevens, lovely Metropoli tan Opera star who will be heard here Saturday evening at 8:15 p.m. in McArthur court, is a distin guished young lady who boasts two small dots over the “e” in her first name (pronounced Ree-suh), a handsome soldier husband and a Fashion Academy award as best dressed opera star. Born in New York City of Norwegian and Am erican parents, she has been sing ing ever since she appeared as a 10-year-old prima donna on a local radio program. Miss Stevens, in private life, Mrs. Walter Szurovy, stands 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighs 135 pounds, has brown eyes, peach-tinted skin, and light brown hair, shining with golden lights. Her whims are of the moment, her tastes classic. She loves fine cashmere sweaters, lush suedes, pears, sterling silver, and crystal glasses slim as butterflies’ wings. Extreme heights make her dizzy; oceans make her philosophic. She likes the blue of Wedgewood china, the vastness of sandy beach es, and the sentimentality of family albums. She cries when she’s hap py. She likes to swim and walk, and loves company. Owns Poodle Miss Stevens owns a black miniature French poodle, whose actual name is “L’Ami Noir,” but whom she calls “Lamby.” She dotes on the scent of jasmine and rel ishes maraschino cherries. Her hob by is collecting good luck mascots, and she numbers among her trea sures a Mickey Mouse, a big and little Pinocchio, a pink and white rabbit, a pair of baby shoes, the third little pig, and her latest ac quisition, a hyacinth-colored hip popotamus. She fills her home with ga.ly-colored flower pots brimming with cascading ivy and bristling cacti. Just last year Miss Stevens was again approached by movie scouts who offered her another chance at Hollywood, and this time she ac (Please turn to page jour) rora Underwood, May 27 at 8 p.m. Those participating are Barbara Weisz, sophomore in liberal arts; Joan McCready, sophomore in. mu sic; Nancy Carlisle, sophomore in music; Dorothy Lee, sophomore in music; Mary Lou Welsh, sopho more in liberal arts; and Emily Rhoads, sophomore in music.
