Q 9 flo&l oa 9+tdiuiiuaL?.... By R. S. Ii. i r “We are caught between two worlds,” one veteran stated, “the world of grim reality and sheer cold brute force and the world of nice abstract utopian plans and dreams. It is only natural that the transition we have to make will take time and require outside understanding.” We are the vets, the men who fought and endured to make places like the University of Oregon pos sible, along with hundreds of other things we <, took for granted before we went away. Some of us have had a tougher time than others. Some of us have fought the battles of the barracks and office while others have faced the enemy, but all of us have done our best, what We wanted to do or what We knew we had to do. Job to Be Done We feel no keen sense of group problem of adjustment, no deep feeling of conscious bravado. We as a group are still the same fel lows who left our schools, homes, friends, and relatives to go out to do a job that had to be done. Some of us were good soldiers in war. Some were poor, and by the same token some of us will Be good civilians in peace, and some will not. We are not different in our basic ideas no matter how confused We may seem, even to ourselves at times. We want to be accepted normal ly and naturally When we return just as though we had been off for a summer vacation and are now returning to another type of life. Yes, we have our problems and worries. Who hasn't? Civilians in Uniform The vast majority of US were civilians in uniform, and now we don’t want to be thought of as soldiers in civilian clothes. We are not just veterans, not just re turnees, but we are Sam Jones and Bill Smith, Americans. Most of us want to make a suc cess of college. So does everyone else in school. We represent no group problem in ourselves, but only in the eyes of others. We are individual, damned individual, and we think that we will remain so. To express the feelings of each of us individually m any one article would be futile and as. much a waste of time as tryiiig to analyze us as a group. Present-Day* Confusion We are essentially just as we were before we went into service, perhaps some of us are a little more confused, and all of us are wiser. You will have to bear with our confusion as you bear with the-confusion found almost every where else at the present time. Some of Us Will succeed. Some will fail, as some succeeded and some failed in military life, but the burden of the individual rests not with the group but with that indi vidual alone and with whomever he Wants to share it or who is willing to share it with him. As a summation let me say that to judge one Veteran or make one veteran’s problem relative to all the other veterans or even a con siderable group of them is as sheer a fallacy as judging all the students in school by one student or particular group of students. It just can’t be done. My name is Bill Smith, student.

Yip should feel very bad. After many successful years of writing lyrics for popular songs, Yip has slipped. Tt seems that one of his top notchers, “More and More,” isn’t made right. In that part where the song goes: “more and more I'm less and l^ss unwilling to give up seeing more and more of you,” it doesn’t come out right. Foiled The fellow who caught up with Yip says it should go: “more and more I'm more and more, unwill ing to give up seeing more and more of you,’’ or “less and less, I’m less unwilling to, etc.” The guy who found out says this doesn’t speak well for either Yip or the general public. He has sounded a slnster note. He is attacking the very founda tion of popular American music. What if he should find out that when the love bug bites you, you say “the moon jumped over the cow hay doodle” instead of the way it is in the song: “the moon jumped over the cow hay diddle.” To Arms This guy might even disclose that back in 1935, instead of “Pen nies from Heaven," it was raining rain. And think what he could do to “Yes, We Have no Bananas" and more recently "June is Bustin Out Al! Over.” We must tally to Yip's defense. He turns out some of the best syrup on the market today, and Yip might get discouraged and quit if we allow people to go around inspecting his lyrics. There has to be a way to make “more and more I'm less and less unwilling to give up seeing more and more of you" mean well mean what that fellow says it doesn’t.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice, Eugene, Oregon.__ What American student would lie hampered in his studying hv lack of light, books, drinking water, and food? Such things are taken for granted in the United States. In China 14 student centers are maintained by the National Student Relief committee to provide just those things. If it weren't for soy bean milk bars in the centers, many students would go without breakfast. They cannot afford to buy oil for individual lamps; at the centers the oil is pooled and used for one large lamp. Boiled water, both precious and necessary in preventing dis eases, is kept at the centers. Showers and baths are also provided, and books and magazines are available. Seemingly the centers provide so little, yet to the Chinese student these little things arc important. The Chinese National Student Relief committee needs money for these centers and for such projects as self-help w hich provides a variety of work in exchange for books and oil. University students can contribute throught the World Stu dent Service fund drive. The campaign begins today at living or ganizations and at the Co-op. The goal of the drive is $1 per per son, a minimum of $2000 for the entire campus. A dollar per person will help a lot, but if we want Chinese uni versities and other schools in war-ravaged countries to rebuild and their students to be well enough to carry on their studies and have the simple necessities, perhaps we can dig a little deeper. The need is limitless. Q lithe Sfiinit... Oregon ra-llied—and in no uncertain terms! Spurred by the in-this-case-constructive criticism of the many, the rally squad produced a card and rooting section at Saturday's game which gave visitors something to take home with them. The squad was synchronized; the yells were far from weak, and former convic tions as to Oregon's lack of sportsmanship dissolved. Carefully planned by the squad with the aid of Hugh Dor tnadv, the card stunts were accomplished effectively despite lack of experience on the part of the students.

To the Editor If anyone cares to look me up between now and the end of the month, they may rest assured I will be home. For Saturday, my wife and I, to the tune of $3.60, saw Oregon trounce Washington State. Being a rookie to civilian life and the University, I asked at the ticket office before the game if I might be admitted with my ASUO card. “No, I’m sorry,” was the answer, “if you want to sit with your wife, you will have to buy two tickets.” We had our hearts set on seeing the game, so we decided to splurge our entire month’s budget money set aside for pleasure and go. Or don’t you think we need a budget ? Have you tried to run a home on $75.00 a month lately ? If you haven’t, then perhaps I could give a demonstration on how to squeeze the most out of a dime. Isn't it wonderful? My ASUO card will get me into the game, but when I try to take my wife— “hold on, brother, buy two seats.” Ah well, we displayed our school spirit for one week, anyway, by attending the game. My wife and 1 would not want the students to think we lacked school spirit. True, we’ll not be around town or to any of the games for awhile. The game cost us too much Satur day. We’re just broke.
