Constance, assistant registrar, announced yesterday. The new figure of 3510 is a 108 percent increase 6yer the number of students enrolled at the same time last year. More students have regis tered during the first four days of the term than entered all of winter term, when a total of 3423 was recorded. The pre-war high in spring term registration was 3301 established in 1940. The new total is already six percent more and students are still entering. The all-time record of 3705 established in fall term of 1940 will probably still stand, Constance said. YWCA Delegate Says Students’ Plans Best as x wt_A representative irom the University ot Oregon, campus, Martha Thorsland, liberal arts junior, flew to Atlantic City recently to participate in the national YWCA conference from March 2 to 8. Having as a theme “One World Under God,” delegates spent most of their time discussing and hearing speeches on the inter-racial question, Martha said. “It was decided that the national YWCA will stand behind the charter, which holds that all races and creeds be treated alike, and that all will have equal work ing and housing conditions.” Of the 3,000 representatives at tending the conference, 300 of them were college students, and they held their own student as semblies in the mornings before the regular convention program began. Martha was especially im pressed with these sessions. Students Good She said, “Everyone agreed that the student contributions to the convention were the most out standing. Student speakers did an exceptionally good job in present ing their opinions and views to the older members. They did so well, in fact, that the National Board of YWCA in Florida has appointed student representatives on the board for the first time.” Martha added that she had ac quired many new ideas for YW President Avers Education Shows in Man’s Behavior A man s education is evident by his behavior in everyday life, Dr. Harry K. Newburn, president of the University, asserted Thursday when he spoke to new and old stu dents at the first assembly of win ter term in McArthur court. Dr. Newburn specified that the terms “education” and “schooling” were not necessarily synonymous. “A man can be very well-schooled but poorly educated,” he said, “just as, conceivably, an unschooled in Sliyidual may be very well edu cated.” He cited Lincoln as the out standing historical example of a little schooled, self-taught man who expressed the compelling drive to learn. He added that this type of person, who unaided seeks a meaningful education, is exceeding ly rare. Needs Move Therefore education must have a basis other than one founded on schooling alone, Dr. Newburn ex plained. It is his belief that the kind of person an individual is, how he thinks, believes and es pecially, how he behaves, is more indicative of his education. Enlarging upon the subject of the educated man, he cited in-> stances in which this individual differs from other men.

Two memorable events during the conference in Martha's mind were the evening session titled “Voices of the People of the World,” featuring women speakers from 24 foreign countries dressed in their native costumes, and a surprise speech given by Arthur (Please turn to page six) Ducks to Hear Yale Professor Dr. Ernest Charles Pollard, as sociate professor of physics at Yale university, will lecture on “Elementary Particles of Nature” in Room 207, Chapman hall, at 8 p.m. Friday.

JNuclear Physics “Dr. Pollard is one of the out standing young nuclear physics workers in the United States,” said Dr. Peterson. “This subject has gained a lot of political and social importance since the advent of molecular discoveries as typi fied by the atomic bomb.

The hall could not accommo date the large numbers who came to hear the noted ethnologist’s im portant lecture on what has been described as the world’s hot spot —hot in more ways than one—the Malayan Archipelago. Dr. Cole touched upon several items of up-to-date political signi ficance which relate to the gener al situation in Asia, as he devel oped upon the anthropological as pects of the Asiatic scene. Speci fic in his comments on foreign im perialism in that section of the world, he had better things to say about the Dutch in this respect than either the British or French. “The Dutch have been the best colonizers in Indonesia,” he stated while pointing out at the saroo time that the early Dutch com mercial interests had made several foolish errors. Dr. Cole emphasiz ed that Holland attempted to counteract this later by sending anthropologists into Java and Su matra in order to acquire scien tific knowledge of*the peoples. "An attempt was made,” he said, “to protect the native.” Of British exploitation in the Malayan Peninsula, Dr. Cole was more critical. He explained how they imposed "residents” on the Malayan states as early as 1S74, these residents acting as advisers who insisted that their advice "had to be taken.” The four Federated states were formed under English auspices, but it was pointed out that this was anything but a move ment for independence. A complex condition had arisen, according to Cole, as a result of the hiring under contract to work in the Malayan Peninsula, of thou (Please turn to page three)
