rro/ecfi/es, Bazookas, Shipped; ■Rocket Age Strikes UO Campus Luck Rogers has at last come to the Oregon campus. In cluded among late shipments of new equipment to the Uni versity ROl C department are “bazookas," “grease guns,” and Garand rifles, while on requisition are new uniforms. Heralding the advent of the “rocket age" are several new type bazookas, the army’s successful light anti-tank weapon. 1 hese are the newest modification of the tvne and include such improvements as sights ad justable for windage and elevation and “breaking down” into two sec tions for ease of transportation. Although rocket projectiles are part of the shipment, these will be used for “dummy” demonstrations only, and the Ducks need have no fear of futuristic barrages leveled against their fair campus. Grease-Gun Described The grease gun, more accurately •^described as the M-3, caliber 45, sub-machine gun, is a fully-auto matic type which was developed during the last war. It was intend ed to replace the Thompson sub machine gun of Chicago gangster fame when it was found the Thomp son required too long a period of production. The new gun is a “stamped-out” model and is pro duced at the nominal cost of $2.30. It waa supplied in great numbers to resistance or underground groups in Europe but will not be used for anything more than demonstration here. And, finally, the department’s 1903 model Springfields have been replaced by 300 Garand, M-l, semi automatic rifles which are the standard shoulder weapons of the army. However, these will be used for drill purposes only, firing being limited to the 22-caliber rifle on the Springfield frame. New Uniforms Coming The new uniforms on requisition for the ROTC are officer-type and will be known as “interim” uni forms. They will be used only until adequate shipments of the standard dress for the regular army are re ceived. Basic students will get “green” blouses, trousers, and overseas caps, while advanced students will wear green blouses, “pink” trousers, and the billed, service-type cap. Both basic and advanced will be issued “doeskin” overcoats. Also received by the ROTC de partment are new 30 and 50 caliber machine guns, these also being used for demonstration purposes only. Paul Robeson Explains (Continued from page one) mocracy, he said, “but we don’t have democracy yet. We don’t have democracy for ten million Negroes, or for the Japanese in Oregon, or for the Mexicans in Arizona, or for white people in the downtrodden minority groups.” He attributed the lack of de mocracy largely to the lack of accurate information. The public, he said, does not get all the facts. We do not have a free press; ra dio, and othef sources of informa tion are controlled by groups in terested in slanting the facts, Robeson declared. Free Speech Speaking with the feeling and sincerity of an evangelist, Robe son emphasized his belief that the public must be well informed and that the only way the public will “get the facts” was through the few channels still open. Free speech, he implied, is still per mitted on the lecture platform. He referred to the Oregonian’s editorial Wednesday and explained' that he did not agree with the conservative view point that free dom and democracy must neces sarily be a slow process. Robeson said he would not urge Negroes to wait “patiently” (referring to the editorial) for freedom and equal DROP IN TO THE 'CO-OP' SOMETIME IUST TO BROWSE You will find articles of beauty and quality and value always such tilings as ♦ FINE STATIONERY ♦ NATIONAL MAKES OF FOUNTAIN PENS ♦ SUPERB BOOKS are for your selection at the store where You Share in The Profits the University ‘CO-OP’ DON’T FORGET to SAVE THOSE RECEIPTS rights. Waiting might mean a thousand years, he said. His son, educated in Russia, will attend Cornell university and play football there, but, the singer explained, will enroll in the Uni versity of Moscow after gradua tion. Robeson believes that the United States must “get along" with Russia because that nation if; “one of the great nations of the world” and has “given free dom to millions.” The singer was a dinner guest at the women’s dormitory and con versed with Bob Reynolds and other Negro students on the cam pus. He said he would probably return to the campus spring term. Future Nurses to Band Pre-nursing majors on the cam pus will organize at a meeting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the YWCA, Miss Olive Slocum, assistant pro fessor of nursing education, will be adviser for the group. In charge of arrangements are Charlotte Niedermeyer, sophomore/ in business administration, and Bet ty Spangler, sophomore in liberal arts.

Newburn. At an estimated cost of $7,253.31, and for a period of one year from February 1, 1947 to January 31, 1948, research will be conducted in biological synthesis of lactose, un der the direction of Francis J. Rei thel, assistant professor of chemis try. The walk-in refrigerator, recent ly placed between the chemistry and journalism buildings, will be used in the project, primarily for the study of enzyme chemicals and for the storing of certain chemicals which will deteriorate without re frigeration. Additional equipment is awaited. Dr. Reithel was graduated from Reed college with a BA degree in 1935. He attended Oregon State col lege from 1936 to 1937, and received from the University of Oregon med ical school at Portland, an MA de gree in 1938 and a Ph.D. in 1942.
