Clear Thinking
Needed Now,
Colonel Says
Warning that we must get to
know the people of other countries
in order to keep our position in the
world, Lt. Col. James Owen Con
ville, Thursday assembly speaker,
declared that we must learn to do
our own thinking' and not accept
the ideas of others too readily, or
we will lose the opportunities
which have opened to us as a na
tion during the war years.
Col. Conville, who has only re
cently returned from duty in Eu
rope, saw at first hand conditions
on the continent, and declares that
since the war, the United States
has become the greatest nation of
the world.
In many ways, England is very
different from us, he said, but on
the whole, they are tire nation
most nearly like our own, and we
should learn to co-operate with
them, not necessarily doing as they
do, but learning to “live and let
live.”
Although they are our competi
tors in many things, we should
.share the responsibilities of peace
with them, he explained.
While in Europe after his land
ing in France on-D-day plus 2. Col.
C -nville had the opportunity to ob
serve the nations as they were lib
el ited. At first the French were
very cool, he said, but explained
that the coolness was due to their
fear of the eventual return of the
Germans. The Belgians, who had
adopted a method of amicable
•agreement with the Germans, often
promised to do things which they
knew were impossible rather than
say “no” he said, because they
v. ue so used to agreeing—or else —
with their conquerors.
In Germany itself, where Col.
Conville was last stationed in
Aachen, the military government
found cities deserted, and help was
recruited from refugee camps to
rebuild and repair the cities. De
claring that they “never found a
Nazi,” Col. Conville said that near
ly all German civilians questioned
wouldn't admit party membership,
or would insist they hadn't paid
does to the party, despite the fact
that they had held positions given
only to Nazis.
It will take a lot of clear think
ing to win the peace, he declared,
hi t in his opinion, the young people
of the nation are up to it.

Anne Burgess Elected
New Kwama President
As newly-elected president of
Kwama, Anne Burgess has received
the late Hazel P. Schwering’s Kwa
ma pin, which she will keep
throughout her term of office. Miss
Burgess was elected following the
initiation banquet at the Eugene
hotel Wednesday night.
Other officers elected were: Bar
bara Johns, vice president; Janet
Hicks, secretary; and Barbara
Hawley, treasurer.
The AWS cabinet is making big
and exciting plans for painting and
redecorating their office in the
Igloo. At the moment there is quite
an extensive controversy on color.
Should the floor be chartreuse or
heliotrope? We can assure you of
one thing, though. The AWS office
next year will not only be quite
beautiful and altogether exciting,
but filled to the brim with activity
and chatter. You must remember
tc stop in and see us.
Thursday the big auction at the
Side sponsored by AWS will fea
ture Evans Sax and Bob Moran as
auctioneers. Be sure to come. Who
knows, maybe those mittens you
lost winter term and that knubby
knit you’ve been missing for quite
some time may be up for auction.
It will be quite an interesting af
fair, to say the least.
Incidentally, we hope that every
living organization has turned in a
list of seven girls who are inter
ested in helping incoming fresh
man women to Signe Eklund, AWS
president. Watch for notice of the
first meeting, which will be held
sometime in the near future. These
girls will act in the capacity of
"big sisters" to the new freshmen
and will help them become oriented
to university life.
That’s all until next week. See
you at the Side! — By Barbara
Johns, AWS reporter.

"W. L. White said that Molotov’s
face was devoid of expression. This
certainly was not so at the con
ference. Molotov is a proud man,
intelligent, and alert. He was very
impressive. He spoke only in Rus
sian.
“At the Chinese press confer
ence, Soong said he really had no
teason for calling it. He just want
ed his delegation to see an Amer
ican press conference. All political
parties in China were represented.
A member of the press asked to
have the communist delegate stand
to see if he looked dangerous. The
request was interpreted for him.
All of the delegation laughed, he
stood . . . and did not look at all
dangerous.
“Anthony Eden was a man of
the British school of diplomacy. He
was immaculately dressed. He used
a lot of drive, and talked quite a
bit with his hands. At first I
thought he would be the one to
sway the conference at a difficult
spot.”

AMERICAN HEROES
BY LEFF
As our guns groped blindly tor vital enemy targets m runisia,
Sergeant Donald V. Peterson of South Minneapolis crept beyond our
lines. Snipers and machine guns raked the ground, but he pushed on,
snaked forward into view of our targets. Sheltered from withering
fire by one small bush, he radioed fire commands and our guns bat
tered the enemy. His country recognized Peterson’s bravery with the
Silver Star. You can recognize it with another War Bond.
