Housing Campaign Rolls;
Firm Provides Bedding
Mrs. Macduff to Broadcast Plea to Community;
More Students Expected to Enroll Spring Term
Making an appeal to Eugene residents today over KORE
to rent their spare rooms to returning veteran students for
spring term will be Mrs. Alice B. Macduff, campus housing
secretary. She will speak at 11:05 a.m. and will present a plea
for community cooperation on the problem.
Mrs. Macduff’s talk will be a part of a concerted drive by
the Eugene Chamber of Commerce and the University. The
campaign was inaugurated Satur
day by H. J. Cox, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and is
being directed by Frank Senn,
chairman of the chamber's Ten
O’clock club.
Merchant Offers Beds
Fifty beds have be£n offered to
all those who will convert their
spare rooms into housing facili
ties for veterans. The beds were
offered by an anonymous business
firm in the community and can
be obtained by phoning the Cham
ber of Commerce, telephone 192.
“We promised these men and
women they would be given an
opportunity to complete their edu
cation when they came back,” Mrs.
Macduff stated Wednesday. “I feel
that people should be willing to
put themselves out a little bit by
renting a room to a student
veteran.”
1208 Live Off
At the present time 1208 stu
dents, both men and women, are
living off the campus. This figure,
however, does not include' married
veterans, and it does not take into
consideration the large number of
veterans who will be returning to
school spring term, Mrs. Macduff
said.
Display cards have been put up
in 50 local stores, carrying an
appeal for rooms. Householders
can register at any of these stores
on pads placed with the cards.

R. Guthrie, dean of the graduate
school at the University of Wash
ington, will give the closing facul
ty lecture of the winter series on
Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in 12 Friend
ly hall.
Dr. Guthrie will discuss the mo
tives leading to war and the pos
sibilities of solving the psycholog
ical problems for maintaining
peace.
Psychologists believe that frus
trations of individuals express
themselves in mass movements,
according to Dr. Howard R. Tay
lor, head of the psychology de
partment, who said that this mass
movement often leads to war be
tween nations, and that it is up
to society to correct and eliminate
the causes of individual frustra
tion.
Good Speaker
Saying, “Dr. Guthrie is a bril
liant, witty, and entertaining
speaker,” Dr. Taylor asserted, “I
have no doubt but that he will give
a very thoughtful as well as an
interesting talk. He is one of the
most pleasant and interesting per

Ex-Servicemen to Present Explanation Today;
Governor Promises Full Hearing In State Capital
Three Oregon veterans will speak with Governor Earl Snell
Thursday to present their reasons why the plan for a Klamath
Falls veteran s school for underclass students should not be
adopted. The three are: Bob Calkins, former Independent
leader, recently returned to the campus; Dudley Walton, law
student, and Byron Mayo, assistant managing editor of the
Emerald.
They will present a petition
which at 5 p.m. Wednesday had
approximately 300 signatures of
veterans opposing the Klamath
Falls plan.
“But we want to speak with the
governor on the matter,” Calkins
declared, 'for he may have reasons
that we do not know of in favor
of the proposed arrangement.”
Will See
Governor Snell has said that he
will see the petitioners at any time
Thursday before 4 p.m. The peti
tion has arisen as the result of a
meeting held Tuesday on the
matter.
Gil Roberts, who addressed vet
erans at the meeting' Tuesday, said
that veterans present were unani
mous in their opinion that the plan
for taking over the marine bar
racks at Klamath Falls as a junior
college is ill-planned. The idea of
having veterans return to a bar
lacks form of cxistance is repul
sive to them, he said.
Committee Views
A committee of the state board
of higher education met Saturday
at Klamath Falls to survey the
site. The committee reported it
estimates funds of $370,000 would
be needed to convert the barracks
and operate it as a school for one
year.
Governor Snell accompanied the
delegation on its inspection and at
that time urged acceptance. He
said then that the barracks were
the answer to their problem of
education for veterans unless
something better was available or
can be developed.

Red Cross Drive Continues;
Coed Donations Boost Total
By Sylvia Mitchell
Women students today built the
foundation of the Red Cross drive
house when they boosted the funds
over the $500 mark. Men students
have contributed $15.
With only two more days left to
push the walls of the house up and
top them with a roof, the drive still
must reach (he $1500 quota by
Friday.
Men’s organisations are urged to
have their house Red Cross chair
men obtain their material from
Geneva Davis, drive chairman, by
calling 2884.
Students not living in groups
may make donations at the booth
located in the Co-op store.
By Dorothy Hahei and
Nancy Base
The war is over but the work
of the American Red Cross is far
from completed. On the campus we
arc pushing another Red Cross
drive, but we are not pushing- hard
enough. We can't be proud of the
donation figures that appeared in
the Emerald yesterday: only five
houses reaching the 100 per cent
mark, only one men's living or
ganization contributing, and the
drive itself falling $143 short of the
$500 mark set for the second day.
Oregon has pledged a goal of
$1500 by Friday, and this can’t
be reached by the cooperation of
the usual few; the whole campus
must participate and back the
drive to its fullest capacity.
No Profit
Everyone knows that the Red
Cross is not a money-making or
ganization. Its aim is to meet the
needs of the people and to serve
whenever disaster strikes. Stop
and think a minute before you
groan at the request of a dollar
and listen to the comments of.
