Outside of the funnies, the bomb cannot be put in its place so neatly. Because of the secrecy surrounding it and because of its highly technical nature, the bomb cannot be considered scientifi cally by most citizens. It is more important that they should know its destructive force and realize the part it may play in future world peace. Superman and Dick Tracy don’t provide a very intelligent basis for discussion on this score, but they do provide the daily reading fare of too many citizens, including University students. The Northwest Student congress being held at Reed college this weekend aims to promote serious study of the control of atomic energy and other problems related to world organization and global peace. Delegates from 32 colleges and universities have been invited to participate in the study and discussions and to draft and vote upon resolutions of the congress. The reso lutions may be submitted to the entire student body of each college and university before they are submitted to northwest congressmen and officials of the United Nations. And the find ings and discussions of the congress will be explained to student assemblies at the institutions. At the congress, the student delegates will have the responsi bility of expressing the opinions of 25,000 of America’s college students. The meeting is well named—“The Student's Stake in the Atomic Age.” As the citizens who will mold the world of to morrow, their stake is ^great. The congress can he an exercise and a recognition of their power in insuring world peace. Spbitvz Opened . . . Oregon’s President Harry K. Newburn could almost rival Mrs. Roosevelt with the number of trips he has had to take in carrying' out the duties of his office. Attention to University affairs in the state and nation keeps the University’s chief execu tive in something akin to perpetual motion. Consequently, students welcome the chance to get better acquainted with the man who administers the affairs of their University. In previous assemblies they have had a taste of his friendliness and his skillful manner in voicing his ideas of the direction of college life. They know that his contacts with stu dents in guiding activities have proved his regard for student opinions and ideas and his wish to be close to student affairs. Today's assembly gives students the opportunity to cement ■their attitude toward Dr. Newburn with another contact with his personality and with a glimpse into his thoughts on “Re sponsibility of the Educated Man.” For those who are meeting the president for the first time and for those who are renewing acquaintances, the assembly promises an appropriate opener for the new term. Pabode ol Opinion By Associated Collegiate Press Twelve scholarships which Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is oflering to students of the Allied Nations will inevitably lead to a better understanding of international relations. This basic understanding among the rulers of tomorrow will undoubtedly carry us away from rather than into any possible future war. The combined efforts of the Allied Nations in studying human nature and in mingling ideas is one of the necessary elements for paving the wa\ to everlasting peace. If all colleges and uni versities in the United States adopted this method of giving foreign students scholarships, thereby teaching their students a way of life as well as a means of life, the betterment of man kind would be unavoidable. That foreign relations cannot be enforced by constitutional authority is a fact already discovered. It must therefore be through international effort. Civilization has been carried on in many countries for centuries by individual effort; the prob lem now has become such that it must be carried on with inter national effort without nullifying individual effort. !Voted On Record On the Classical Side ... By Betty Bennett Cramer E. Robert Schmitz’ new record ing of “Preludes, Book 1,” by De bussy will be a spring tonic to mu sic lovers. The album contains 13 pieces, each with a different mood and with contrasting colorings and expressions. Schmitz, who performed in Eu gene last year, brings more clar ity and accuracy (remember the Gershwin preludes?) in his record ing than we have previously heard from him. Kis lightness and sub tlety are especially commendable. Album Numbers Included in the album are: "Dancers of Delphi,’’ “Sails,” “The Wind Through the Plain,” “Sounds and Scents Revolve in the Eve ning Air,” "The Hills of Anacapri,” “Footprints in the Snow,” “What the West Wind Saw,” “The Girl with the Flaxen Hair,” “The In terrupted Serenade,” “The Dance of Puck,” “The Engulfed Cathed ral,” “Minstrels,” and “On the Name of Haydn.” The most outstanding new re cording is Maria Kurenko’s inter pretation of several Gretchaninoff Songs. Her style is smooth, her technique perfect. The composer himself is at the piano and there exists an amazing unity between artist and accompanist. Serious Listening Songs include: “Credo” from the “Liturgia Domestica,” “The Wounded Birch,” “Snowflakes,” “Oh, My Country,” “Over the Steppes,” “Dewdrops,” “Declara tion of Love,” from the Cycle “Aux Temps Heureux,” “Snowdrops,” “Ai Doudo,” “Lullaby,” “On the Mountain,” and “I’ll Go, I’ll Come.” This album is not for the novice, but will provide much pleasure for the serious listener. Final proof that Bjoerling has slipped is heard in his recent re cordings “Questa o Quella” from Rigoletto, and “Nessun Dorma” from “Turandot.” His tone quality, (Plecise Turn to Page Seven) Jam for Breakfast ..mm...mm By TED HALLOCK K. L. and S. F. huh. I’ll find out; rest assured. If it takes all line on this summer I’ll find out. Clever writin’, though, at that**. L. A.’s and KMPC’s Ted Steele has banned “hot jive” as degenerate and contributing to juvenile delinquency. The de cision must have been based upon what Ted manages to tear from his 16 string zither, graded to Diz Gillespie, upon hearing whom kids just smoke sigareets at a mad rate and drink gallons of soft likker. Letter from .Look’s Music Ed Sam Rowland with details on their natl. amateur band contest. One catch: contestants must be under 19 with parent’s signature on en try blank. Might disqualify the granddaddish orks in this area, but a few smooth-cheeked apple knocking combos reading this col umn through student news ex change in Ivar, Colo., may enter. Entry address (kiddies) is 7046 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, 28, Nevada. Crosby Notes If Bob Crosby should play on this campus within the next two weeks, it’s quite possible, look for a complete Tommy Todd book. The band is fair. Certainly not the Bauduc, Haggart, Muggsy gang, but adequate through gradual L.A. pick-up fills. Harry Johnson has own comb at Portland’s Paddock. Friend Windus tells it rivals Hawk Asch album ideas. Johnson is a brilliant pianist; Hackett (Russ, not Rob ert) on trumpet. Baritonist Junior Glass recoop ing in hill-side maison from liver and lite difficulties. Expects to be around in two weeks. Welcome to Wally Heider, ex-stude, AAF vet, whose band, and arrangements, four years ago were tops, and who, since that time, has had scores accepted (for dough uf kawss) by Hal McIntyre. Which ain’t a wee honor. Same greetings to Port land’s Bob Allan, tenor and tubs, just out of uncle’s 12-million-piece combo. Watch Reinhardt New San Francisco (Oakland actual) band: Bob Reinhardt. No net air time yet, but GAC’s Kes sle in SF office seems to feel a Way Back When . . . Voluntary Military Drill Started at University By Dottie Habel and Trudi Chernis Thirty Years Ago “ A new paper edited and print ed by the class in editorial writ ing in the journalism department made its initial appearance Sat urday. It is known as the ‘Octo pus.’ The paper contained the class work of the editorial writers. The work was entirely voluntary on the part of the classes and pays for itself through advertising." « » * “Voluntary Military Drill En ters University; Two Companies Formed. The one month’s campaign for voluntary student drill reach ed its climax last night when 80 men appeared on the floor of the Oregon national guard armory for the first military drill in the history of the University. Volun tary drill is a reality. Enthusiasm, sincere enthusiasm, indicates that it has come to stay." * * * “No Hope This Year of Phi Beta Kappa. Efforts to get a chapter installed at Oregon this year proved unavailing when the petition proved technically imper fect due to failure of the national secretary to provide a correct form. No further action will be taken until 1919. Receiving a char ter of Phi Beta Kappa is in most cases a question of years. No chapter in the history of the so i ciety has been given a charter on first petition, and out of the 16 petitions considered only four were granted.” * * * An old time version of Coed Capers, then called April Frolic, was held. Clowns, cooks, colonial dames, and characters of every nationality swarmed into the men’s gymnasium to take part in the annual Frolic. A prize of $2.50 went to the coed with the most unique costume, an alarm clock. * * * Twenty Years Ago ‘‘The final lap of the $500,000 memorial union drive at Oregon Agricultural college went over the top by $53,000. The freshman class broke previous records when they pledged $88,351 towards the building. The campaign ended with a victory dance given in the men’s gymnasium.” What's hold ing up UO? * Jj: # Plans were approved for the ! building of a basketball building . for the corner of University and | 18th streets, to cost approximate ly $224,000. It was expected to be constructed and ready for use by ! fall, 1926. * * * Contribution of the ‘‘Seven Seers'' column, and how true: "We wish someone would tell us While we’re speaking of a date, (Please turn to page seven) new Kenton has been born. Watch. Earl Hines at Portland’s Mc Elroy’s tonite. If Jurgen's nand has retained any of the old, and ved dy commercial, Eddy Howard gags, should be a good and funny bet. “Love in Bloom” with scream ed “oh no” is example. Others are too double entendreish to mention. Bandying: (new and clever sub title) Boyd Raeburn is still in L. A., still rehearsing, still no agent, still no plans to play any where; KEX studio ork, under George Bruns, will boast 16 good men (Milt Kleeb’s alto there among), a fine library, and will be the first power radio band in the N. W. territory; another strong hearted jerk is trying to orgaaisit 14 men up north, already has hired name side-men from the east, put them on salary with the idea that someday our residential oligarchy will support music. Watters Discs Those interested in hearing Lu Watters can still find a few Jazz man things in Portland, and a few more at Eugene’s Graves’ disc shoppe. “Personality” and “Bring Another Drink” are not exactly dissimilar. Ziggy has rejoined Tom my so that the brass might again sound like something you don’t hear on Sunday mornings. Every one has heard somewhere of the Crosby Decca fluffs which a con niving engineer stole from Decca’s L. A. master files to bootleg at ten stones a wax.

LOUISIANA STATE—carrying out an Old South theme in deco rations, costumes and floor show, their Swing Inn closed its weekly Friday night all-campus enter- - tainments by the presentation of the “Pin-up Boy of 1946” who was chosen by the popular vote of the girls. INDIANA UNIVERSITY—with exclamations of “My kid brother wore mine while I was in the army,” “The sleeves are too short,” “Do you know anyone with a tux who didn’t get a ticket to the Prom ?” floating around their cam pus, formal dress for men was de clared, for the first time in the history of the Junior Prom, to be optional. UCLA — “Spring Specialties” will be featured as the central theme of the first all-U sing of the semester.
