Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice, Eugene, Oregon. R&ad e>/uuv . . . The Ducks are hitting the road today and tomorrow in a mass emigration to Portland for the game the first Oregon game in Portland since 1942. This game gives the Webfoots a second try at the team that defeated them in their opening game. Both teams have had the opportunity to smooth out some of the kinks in theii methods •of play, and each of them know more about the other s weaknes ses and strong points. Win or lose, Oregon s Demon and Green will make a good showing. Because so many alums and people interested in Oregon will attend the game, it will be almost a Homecoming in reverse. The Webfoot rooting section will be expected to provide color and spirit in the “old tradition.” And the conduct of students in the city will be under the scrutiny of Portlanders. The im pression that Oregon students make upon the city s residents may serve as the best publicity the University could have, 01 it may give the institution an unfavorable label. With as much enthusiasm as they showed in the WSC game, the Oregon student body will make just as good an impression as its gridmen. oyesU'p&netiA, • . . Most unpleasant among; topics of conversation at this time arc mid-terms. Unpleasant unless you happen to have in your possession an exam paper generously inscribed with an A. Mid-terms are perplexing from the start. You wonder why YOU didn't start studying earlier. What are you supposed to re member? \\ h v did the professor have to give the exam so early? Why do they all come at once? Why do we have mid-terms? i I earing the wads of dissatisfied students when they received their graded papers, one professor said: Consider this an eye opener.” Mid-terms are just that. Thev force you to read neglected assignments. The test itself reveals to the instructors what you have learned and via the grade sheet the student is commended or given a grim warning to change his study habits or to dig into his books a little deeper. A mid-term flunk can happen even to a conscientious student, but it is not fatal. In most classes a poor mid-term grade can be offset bv good daily and final exam work. '1'ake a post-mid-term slump if you wish. Forget the exam and start afresh, keeping in mind what the professor expects of his class. We hate to bring it up, but fall finals are a December event. ....... Panode ofi Op-inian i!:!!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii«iiii:!i« ........Minin By Tin1 Associated Collegiate Press “For the first time in history, civilization can commit suicide if it wants to," Dr. \V. Hugh Stickler, who has been working on the atomic bomb, said recently. Dr. Stickler has returned to Ste phens as an instructor in general biology after leaving in the fall of 194,1 to work in secret as division technical supervisor and assistant department superintendent on the Manhattan project of the atomic bomb. "Tlu world has in its hands a weapon to end all wars or," Dr. Stickler said, "if used unwisely or selfishly, a weapon which will eventually lead to the destruction of civilization and the world. There will be no need for war. All nations, whatever their size and population, can have all the power they need to develop their resources in unlimited amounts with great energy that can be produced In atomic power. When this power is fully de veloped, countries will not longer depend on oil, water power, and coal to keep the wheels of industry rolling." The people of the United States spent over two billion dollars in the development of the atomic bomb which, with just one Travel Rules For Students By VESTA SARGENT “Mother may I go to the game?” That is the question the co-eds are asking these days as they fly to and from the dean of women’s office getting the permis sion slips signed so they can leave the campus. it The present rule in regard to leaving the campus is that each time a girl wishes to go anywhere except home, she must have a written statement from home granting her permission to do so. In an interview taken at large on the campus Thursday afternoon the following statements and opinions were gathered. Pat Griffin—“The policy requir ing coeds to have written permis sion for each over-night absence from the campus seems unneces sary and childish, due to the fact that our parents sign cards when we enter school, giving us permis sion to or not leave at any time.” Joann Holstad—“I think the present system is quite satisfac tory even though it involves much red tape because it protects the University and the students.” Jim Lund—“If a coed’s parents are willing to send her to college to get an education then why can’t it be as one of the leading profes sors on the campus said, “50 per cent of the education comes out side the class room.” Dorothy Carlson—“I consider the present practice of parental permission when entering school sufficient. The second permission is an unnecessary duplication.” Eleanor Wallace—“The phone bill goes up; the telegrams are expensive; and all this because of the rule requiring written permis sion each time I leave the campus. I consider the entrance card per mission sufficient.” Barbara Elliott—”My parents sent me here with the understand ing that I could take care of my (Please turn lo page seven) lllilllHIMII Mill IMHIIIMIIII!

It con cerns married servicemen along with civilians who seem to get a big thrill out of telling wee white lies about their bachelor standings just to rate dates with Oregon women. To these sad characters may we suggest that they find other means of amusement while we still have a slight speck of re spect for them. Goodbye and good hunting elsewhere, laddies. Congrats and all that stuff to Phyllis Anderson from Susan Campbell, who is spending her evenings shining the Sigma Chi pin which now adorns her sweaters ’n such which was presented to her by a Ralph Stratford. This is Ralph’s first term at Oregon, com ing from Washington, D.C., but the lad seems to have a knack with these women. Gloating over a dozen red roses recently received is Joan Preble, who is anxiously awaiting the return of her hero Billy Shearer. This makes us all happy as the dickens but incidentally, just what happens to this Hal Bailey person once Mr. Shearer makes his ap pearance. Tsk, tsk. People up in the Pi Phi house are not exactly cheering these days when they hear the name of Hal Ford mentioned. Seems the boy more or less forgot a few of the rules and thus Wanda Shaw is dateless comes this weekend after planning a big time with a red head.

During his career as a GI, he distinguished himself bv directing and acting in dialogue se quences of Irving Berlin's all soldier show “This Is the Army." Ezra, wlio is a native of Brooklyn, plans to resume his producing and directing activi ties on Broadway in addition to holding down the Aldrich role which he created in Clif ford Goldsmith’s Broadway hit; “What a Life!” in 1938. The Aid rich family made its radio bow on Rudy Vallee’s show and subse quently was heard regularly as a ten minute sketch on the Kate Smith program before becoming a half-hour show on its own. Chlo-o-eeeeee The University campus will be ■ as deserted as Hiroshima this i weekend when the student body moves up to Portland to view the Oregon-Washington game Satur day. The few scattered signs of life including the squirrels and Homer of the Anthropology de partment will be able to hear the game by tuning in KORE. Bill Stern will describe the Navy-Notre Dame game at 10:5 on KGW. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 2 will be featured on the Boston Symphony program, Saturday, from 6:30 to 7:30. Silver Anniversary National radio week, will mark the 25th anniversary of radio broadcasting in the United States, starting Sunday, November 4. I Please turn to huge seven) thousandth of all the energy possible to obtain from splitting an atom, can wipe cities from the earth, related Dr. Stickler. The sum spent on research is approximately equal to the sum spent on public education for a year in the United States. "In the astounding short time of five years, after the principle which we followed in working was discovered, results were ob tained." Dr. Stickler explained. "What the world will do with it now in peace time is the question of importance which all so ciety must decide.” "Tlve energy in the cardboard of a railroad ticket to Cen tralia could run the Wabash Cannon Ball around the world sev eral times." Dr. Strickler continued, "while the energy in a breath of air exhausted fro niottr lungs when speaking is enough to drive an airplane continuously for a year. One pound of uranium 235 contains enough energy to supplant all the elec tricity for two months in the United States. There are unlimited advantages for its good use.” ,r **’ •i? v t *s? *Jp rr rr **? rr 'i1 t v t *a? t? t rr rr rF*I' ^ 4» for that is exactly what Wanda sums up to being. COUPLE OF THJLWEEK: Oh you lucky lovers you . . . Looks like this week two really swell people can pride themselves on having so many friends and for being such great peoples. We mean none other than Theta Janet Bod well and Bobby Bissett, Theta Chi, who have had us all jealous for the past year. To these two we extend our congratulations, and to Janet a bright Oregon mum will be deliv ered for the game Saturday through the courtesy of ARCH EABEAU FLORISTS. Loads of happiness to these swell people. She may claim to have a man in Tacoma, but Florence “I like Eugene too” Guthrie seems to be enjoying the company of Berkley’s own Bob Neederhauser. Confusin, but must prove amusin for iJefcis., Jack “the Moore I ‘ see you” Puffinbarger is letting us all in on the big weekend he plans in Port land. Wonder what Marilyn Moore will say when she finds out a date with Jackson is nothing more than a camouflage for an endurance contest. Whee, sech fun, but for whom ?

It’s the first thing I’ve seen out of Hollywood concerning World War II that really has anything in it concerning World War II as it looked to me. I can’t draw a parallel because I've never been to Italy, never saw Ernie Pyle, never served in the infantry. But it had the smack of routine, paradox, and' pattern that marked what I did see. The McCoy It depicted a game that can’t be won, a job that can’t be finished. What has that to do with the University of Oregon ? I don’t really know, but if there is to ever be any bridge across the gap between men like those in ”GI Joe” and the USA, perhaps it will come from such efforts. In my mind there is no question that there is such a gap. jfr The gap I mean is a real one, not the sticky syrup type that marks articles about “this strang er, our returning service men.” The gap certainly has no over all solution, no set formula. You cannot get at by a hazy im pression of several million men rolled off a produciton line adding up to one problem. a. lie ouiiuiiax j No matter how many common experiences they shared, they re mained individuals so the solu tions have to be individual. How can a picture show or a book or play solve anything ? Well, it can give you a brief in sight into a life where the only certain thing was uncertainty, the only consistent thing, constant change. If you really get that impres sion and get it strong, it will make you feel uneasy. That may make you restless and that’s what the GI is. He has to go somewhere, do something—he doesn't what or why most of the time; but he wants to keep moving. He has to beat that, and I think, eventually, most of them will.
