All Nations Present
At World Festival
Over two dozen delegates, rep
resenting nations of the entire
world, were present Saturday at
the YWCA, where tfiey attended
the University’s premiere of an
International festival, sponsored
by the campus YWCA and YMCA
groups. Deemed a success by co
chairmen Bjorg Hansen and Fred
Goodspeed, the conference featured
as its main speaker Dr. Gaston
Vandermeersche, Belgian student
and former member of the French
underground.
Dr. Vandermeersche addressed
guests at the luncheon Saturday in
the Osburn hotel on the subject,
“What is Happening to Colleges
and Student Life in Europe Today.’’
The Belgian patriot presented a
brilliant picture of student life in
the war-devastated countries, tak
for his examples the daily life of
a student in the Netherlands. The
student, either of lower schools or
colleges, rises to a simple break
fast in an unheated house, said
Vendermeersche, and goes to a<
cold school. Peat and wood for fuel
is particularly hard to obtain, and'
homes are cold and damp all the
time, he said. It is very difficult
to get school-books, and almost im
possible to replace as yet, so the
rooms are never warm.

their classes, the mother of the

the war and even more recently
during the flood.”

Veterans Urge Reconsideration
Of Klamath College Program
Ex-Servicemen Request Support In Campaign
Aimed At Development of Existing Institutions
Voicing a decided disapproval of the proposed Klamath
Falls educational program, a group of approximately 150 Uni
versity of Oregon veterans met in Alumni hall of Gerlinger
yesterday afternoon. The veterans agreed that if additional
money was to be spent for the Klamath Falls project it could
be put to a better use for permanent buildings at the present
educational institutions.
Gil Roberts, sophomore physical education student, stated
that petitions will be placed in the Co-op today for veterans to
read and sign if they do not favor the Klamath Falls educa
tion program. The petitions will be forwarded to Governor Earl
Snell in Salem.
Barracks Vacant
The discussion revolved around
the possible acceptance of the
Klamath Falls marine barracks
for a veteran’s school for under
graduate students. The marine
barracks, located five miles from
Klamath Falls, will be vacated the
first of March and have been of
fered to the state of Oregon by
the federal government.
Summing up the attitude of the
veterans at the meeting, Roberts
stated, “If the state board of edu
cation cannot find professors and
hasn’t the money to build at any
of the five state educational in
stitutions I do not see where they
can secure the money for the
Klamath Falls proposal.
No Relish
“I do not think many of the
veterans, relish the idea of bar
racks life in a non-co-educational
institution,” he added.
The veterans were unanimous in
their opinion that any money ap
propriated for an educational pro
gram should be utilized at the five
existing institutions, rather than
put into a temporary program.
They also protested the pro
posed regimentation of their re
turning buddies, stating they felt
the veterans Who were most con
cerned should be consulted first.

Ex-Donut Dispenser Declares
Red Cross Duties Important
By Pat Buettel
With a record of 13 months of
overseas duty as a member of a
Red Cross mobile unit, Gere Ar
nold may well qualify as an expert
on the functions and accomplish
ments of the home service chapter
of this worid-wide organization.
Miss Arnold, freshman in liberal
arts, specializing in radio and ad
vertising, remarked that her per
sonal experiences overseas “had
shown her how vital the home
service branch of the Red Cross
was in making a good soldier out
of a worried man.’’
Food, Please!
“Hey, Red Cross, how about
coffee and donuts?” were the
familiar words Miss Arnold hea? d
in Italy. Africa, and Sicily, where
her mobile unit served.
In expressing her opinion on the
home service chapter, the vivacious
blonde stressed the fact that not
enough publicity was given to this
important department of the Red
Cross. Many persons don't know
the service exists.
“It is important to put across
to these people that these services
are available,’’ she said.
Miss Arnold remarked that
many people hesitate if they re
quire the assistance of the R< d
Cross, feeling that their self-prid©
is being injured.
