Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice. Eugene, Oregon. Oregon is a highly-organized campus. There are living organizations, religious clubs, academic honoraries, and service groups. Social chairmen, house presidents, and house librarians all have regular meeting schedules. Until this year the University has been lacking an organiza tion which should be highest on the list—a group to cater to and foster interest in international relations. The One World club proposes to fill the gap. Its meetings will be open to all students, as well as to the foreign students on the campus. Its program will provide the opportunity for continuing exchange of facts and views on current affairs. Prob lems such as those discussed at the congress in Portland last weekend will be considered as they arise and not ignored until special conferences are called. As its first activity, the club is helping to sponsor Dr. Everett Stow'e, executive secretary of the Committee on Friendly Relations Among Students of New York. Plis dis cussions will correlate the group’s interest in international .affairs and in students from other lands. The program of the One AVorld club should be given all possible encouragement. It is not a burden to a highly- or ganized campus hut a means to work for an organized world. For several years the house librarians association has been hobbling along with little money, a lethargic state for any organization. The association got its start from a grant of money by the Inter-fraternity council, and was able to purchase addi tional hooks through other donations. Now the organization has been given real support by the educational activities board, which has appropriated $200 for the purchase of new books. At the same time, the house librarians have.been building up their treasury by selling cup cakes to hungry, afternoon library-goers. Too, they arc plan ning a dance for this term. The newly-acquired funds will be turned over to the library, which can most advantageously purchase new books for the house library collection. The emphasis will be placed on books on cultural subjects, such as music and art, since such books are largely kept in the school libraries, and not available for general circulation, and on recent best sellers. Students who fn their spare moments make use of the house library books currently kept in their house may thank the educational activities board for the bright and new (inside and out) volumes forthcoming on their browsing shelves. Parade o j Opinion By the Associated Collegiate Press Results from a poll of faculty opinion taken on the abolish ment of the cutting system at Michigan State College show a variety of results. The deans, heads of departments and instruc tors contacted have made the following statements: IT. C. Rather, dean of the Basic college, said. "I think the check on attendance should be up to the individual instructor and correlated with the quality of work that the student is doing in the course.” A. A. Applegate, head of the journalism department, voices his opinions as, "Ideally it is an excellent thing. It is likelv to work a good deal of hardships on the student that is not used to being on his own and the mortality rate is liable to he higher. Along with it should go higher standards of honor in taking examinations.” Dr. Ben Euwena, head of the English department, stated, "The important thing in a course is learning the material, and it doesn't matter how the student learns it. But the easiest and quickest way of learning is by going to class and getting the benefit of class discussion and getting the instructor's inter pretation of the material.” Jam for Breakfast jimiimiiiitmimmtimnitiiinmmiimmittimitmtmiiimmimiimiimimiiiiiimimMiiiiiii Tommy Dorsey will not play at Willamette Park on May 10. Tom my Dorsey will also not play for the Junior Prom, May 10 or May 11 or any time. About now I am so confused that I refuse to vouch for even these lines. I do know that Gordon Coffey, astute Eugene promoter, after having outbid Spokane for rights to Dorsey’s only other Oregon one niter aside from J. Beach, on the 11th., promptly relinquished all rights to TD to our boy Williams on hearing of the Prom-Arnheim Tommy conflict. Williams thanked Coffey kindly, approached the board with the $3000 guarantee against 60 percent in mind, and a four dollar per couple admission to take care of it, only to be coun tered with a refusal to charge more than $3.33 plus tax per duo. Dick W. had realized that Cof fey would have advertised state wide for Dorsey, planned to limit his J. P. ads to Eugene, was re fused permission on this count by the board, who cut their own throats by claiming that only col lege studes, and possible OSC in vites, should be invited. So every one loses a good band. And Gus Arnheim will play for the Junior Prom. And I quit. Post-Flood Apening It is definite that the same G. Coffey will open his re-floored Willamette Park on the night of April 20. And likewise definite that the Bob Crosby-SDX plans for that same night have fallen through. Boyd Raeburn, quietly sitting, penniless, in L. A., has just record ed a new batch of trancs for Standard Radio this time (a series that KORE carries, I believe) with Ray Linn’s trumpet and Lucky Thompson’s tenoring.

Benny Carter’s latest ork attempt nitely on Mu tual (KOR'E) between 10:30-11. Rough edges, says campus new comer and poor man’s critic A. Cheney. Wax: Though we’ve discussed the Duke’s "Black, Brown and Beige” before, mention should be made of the fact that it’s west coast release (small town release) seems imminent. “Work Song,” “Come Sunday,” “Blues,” “WTest Indian, Emancipation Proclama tion and Sugar Hill Penthouse” are the segments featured on the four 12” sides. King Cole’s “It Is Better to Be by Yourself,” on Capitol, is perhaps the most clever trio unison vocal to date. Both B. Raeburn and K. Cole are planning concert tours. Both feel their stuff is for chairs, not polish ed floors and sweaty idiots. March j issue of Metronome contains, on ' Page 21, lower right, an almost Telling the Editor About Hallock's Report In answer to yesterday’s “con gressional report’.’ we should like to bring to the attention of the student body that the congress as originally conceived and subse quently carried out was for the sole purpose of crystalizing stu dent opinion on the importance of international problems in the pursuance of peace. The first item in your column we wish to clarify is the possibili ty of the congress developing as an advertising campaign for The Or egonian or the Portland League of Women Voters. This is not true. The delegate from Gonzaga uni versity, Harry Wood, specifically told us (while sipping cider through a straw) that the law school stu dent body at that college thor oughly investigated such possibili ties, as well as the possibility that the Portland League of Women Voters, and Reed college, had be come a front for such political groups as the Young Communist movement. They found that every thing was strictly on the up and up, and so proceeded to send dele gates. The Oregon Journal and KGW (an Oregonian mouthpiece) offered their services and support when it became clear that the congress wouid result in the true expression of student opinion. We do recognize that this has been good publicity for them—but how else is the people’s voice to be heard ? Delegate Selection About thq selection of delegates, we also wonder.

Wg might, at this point, also make clear that it wasn’t physics con cerning the atomic bomb that we discussed, but social, economic, and legal means to help prevent war. Perhaps we do not have the educational requirements expected by Mr. Hallock, but our interest and enthusiasm was none the less" keen because of this. Mr. Hallock, we wonder just ex actly what you mean when you say about the congress, “Its found ers doubt that their decisions will be held important enough for even minor consideration by congress men and international diplomats alike.” Resolutions to Congress Our present personal feelings do not agree with this, as is evi denced by the fact that we are sending a copy of the resolutions, accompanied by a personal letter to the congressmen from Oregon. Also, within two weeks we hope to be able to send to these same men the results of a student re sponse and interest at the Uni versity. We don’t want to philo sophize about this, we want to see something done about it. The road to Hell is paved with good inten tions; we do not want intentions, we want student action! We are glad to see you have taken an interest in this, but why not take a positive attitude your self? We feel since reading your article that your opinions are not those of an informed writer, but hasty generalizations of question able value. We would appreciate further study by you of the reso lutions drawn up, and then state your opinions whether they be negative or positive. Lois McConkey>— Lloyd Frese. About Butterflies. .
