Report from Europe . . .
_Students Aware of Future Duty
By WINIFRED ROMTVEDT
Although the people of Europe
n general are demoralized, the stu
dents are in good spirits and feel
a responsibility for shaping the
world of tomorrow, said Miss Hug
ette Balzola, traveling secretary
for the World Student Service
fund, in an interview Tuesday at
her room in Westminster house.
Miss Balzola came to the United
States late in September after
spending several months in
Europe. Attending the Interna
tional Student conference at Com
boux, France, she met many stu
dents who were “exhausted physi
cally,” but “very intelligent.”
Not Demoralized
“The students are marvellous,”
she remarked. “One would have
thought they would be completely
demoralized, but they feet respon
sibility in shaping the world of to
morrow. Whatever their political
convictions are, they want eco
nomic and political reconstruction.
They like solidarity among stu
dents of the world and that is
why they like the WSSF.”
Born in Paris, Miss Balzola lived
in France and Spain before going
to Mexico City with her parents
in 1937. When she completes her
travels for WSSF, she wants to go
home and unpack and rest awhile.
She received her bachelor’s degree
in political science and history at
the University of Kentucky (her
brother is a freshman there now),
and wants to earn her master’s
degree in social work in the United
States. She hopes to go to France
for her doctor’s degree.
Need Cited
The dark-haired and charming
young woman told how the relief
needs of European students are
determined. Headquarters are in
Geneva for student relief, and each
-^country has a national committee
for fund raising and relief distri
bution. The committee determines
the country’s needs, and reports to
Geneva. The money is then distri

LAW SCHOOL
Orlando Hollis Rejects Consolidation I
Proposed at Oregon Bar Meeting; ♦
Supports Independent Legal Schools
Orlando John Hollis, dean of the School of Law, introduced an
entirely new procedure to his students Tuesday afternoon, when
he reported on the recent meeting of the Oregon Bar at Garhart
to th law school student-body. Knowing that most law students
are too busy learning the law to attend one of these annual func
tions and to observe and meet
the practitioners of the state,
Dean Hollis instructively noted
the developments which occur
red there, dwelling principallv
on the question of consolidation
in Portland of the three law
schools of the state, the Uni
versity of Oregon school of law
in Eugene, the Willamette Univer
sity law school in Salem, and the
Northwestern College of law in
Portland.
Reviewed Arguments
On this topic he recapitulated
the arguments made in favor of
the proposal, then illustrated how
the many material advantages now
enjoyed by University of Oregon
students would be lost through
such consolidation.
Admitting that legal education
methods, like all education meth
ods, could still be improved upon,
Dean Hollis strongly defended the
system presently used in his school,
citing the record made by gradu
ates of the Oregon school of law as
practitioners, as well as the per
fect record Oregon graduates have
maintained in passing the state bar
examination during the past seven
years.
Disfavors Consolidation
The Dean further commented
that he was doubtful as to the
remedial effect of a consolidation
as suggested by way of resolution
at the Gearhart meeting); and al
so stated that even after a thorough
investigation, if it should be found
that such a consolidation would be
desirable, such a result could not
be obtained without the consent of
the administrative authorities of
all three schools, or without legis
lative sanction.

Attorney in Law Satire
Eager for Legal Life
First Fall Term
Drama at Guild
By SHIRLEY ANDERSON
Opening in orderly, court-room
fashion, the action in “Ladies of
the Jury’’. switches from broad
satire to mad burlesque when the
jurors retire.
Ballard’s entire drama, to be
presented at the Guild Theatre in
Johnson hall October 26, 27, 30
and 31 proceeds in just such a hap
hazard fashion, keeping the aud
ience hilarious with its broad, side
splitting comedy.
The situation is a murder trial,
with Mrs. Livingstone Baldwin
Crane alone holding out for aquit
tal against her eleven associate
jurors. Marilyn Wherry as Mrs.
Crane cuts infectious capers
throughout the play, characteriz
ing a lovely woman stooping to
the requirements of law.
Pointing a great deal of fun at
the legal system, the piece may be
called a definitely amusing farce,
with effectiveness in wide-spread
characterization. Stepping right
