VOLUME XLIX_~ UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, OCTOHKR 24, 1947 -NUMB~FlT~^9■ Wages of Sin is Water At a mid-week preview of today’s noon-time festivities Skull and Dagger men administered a hair-growing treatment in a special portable bathtub in front cf the Side. Whiskerino high sheriff, Jack Schnaidt, and his henchmen report that the pictured treat ment has been, proven highly effective in the promotion of facial hair. (Phcto by Kirk Braun.)

Five violators of the sophomore “no shave” edict will report in front of the Side for their dunking Ross Yates Lists 4 New Features For Oregana Seven new living organizations and an increased number, of clubs j will be represented in the 1948 j Oregana Ross Yates, editor, said' < I yesterday. Featured in the book will be: 1. 16-page duo-tone section, 2. Full-color cover, 3. Three two-page color in serts, and 4. Second-color work in the living organization sec tion. The sports section and schools section will be enlarged over last year. And entirely new traditions section will be incorporated in the yearbook. This feature is under the direction of Howard Ramey, spe cial features editor, and Mart Pond, assistant features editor. Yates explained that a 16-page decrease on the over-all size of the book has been necessitated by an approximate 10 per cent price raise. The 1948 edition will contain 424 pages. An earlier decision was made to give each living organization one instead of two pages as in former books. “Consequently, no aspect of campus life will suffer a cut be cause of the page decrease,” Yates said. Payment for Pictures All social chairmen of living or ganizations who want their pic tures in the Oregana, are asked to have the house representatives pay 75 cents to the dean of women by November 1. at 12:30. Apprehended were George Rasmussen, Tom Dryden, Wayne Fergeson, Hank Kamin and Bob Lavey, according to Ed Anderson, president of Skull and Dagger. Victims of previous dunkings for violating the rule include Pat Woh lers, Louis Wright, and Jim Bern hard. Dunking will also take place dur ing the halftime of the San Fran cisco game Saturday, Anderson stated. Proposed plans to have the San Francisco football team as special guests fell through when word was received from Coach Ed McKeever that the team would return imme diately after the game to San Fran cisco. Sophomore officers sent in vitational telegrams. All sophomores interested in working on decorations for the Whiskerino are urged by decora tions Co-chairman Barbara Vowels to report Saturday morning at Mc Arthur court to help decorate for the dance.

Gordon Wright, first speaker of the 1947-48 University lecture scries, when he spoke to a capacity crowd in Chapman hall last night on the “Anatomy of the Fourth French Republic.” When the Vichy government crumbled and the French govern ment was reorganized after the close of the war, hopes in France for a new republic were high, he said. Everyone was tired of the negative compromise of the Third republic and 94 per cent of the peo ple voted against revision of this republic. Wanted Clean Slate The people wanted to start with a clean slate and hoped for a finer, more solid government with soli darity shown in the political par ties, according to Dr. Wright. By 1947, this enthusiasm had been replaced by doubt for many reasons, he said. It might have been the rise of the communists; it might have been DeGaulle; it might have been the failure of the demo cratic leaders to make the govern ment effective; and it may have been the sheer cussedness of the people, he speculated. The basic fact, added the speak er, was that the republic was fac tuous and built underground. In reality it had to be built on deep divisions.

The president said the increased cost of living “is causing hardship to millions of American families and endangering the prosperity and welfare of the entire nation.” | It is also necessary for this government to take adequate steps ' to meet the crisis in western Eur ope,” he added in a new and j broadened appeal for emergency foreign relief. The president then announced that he would tell the nation in a broadcast at 10 p.m. EST today about these “two compelling reasons” for convening a special session- the 26th in the country’s] history. His decision to put con gress back to work seven weeks ahead of its regular session sched ule was handed to republican and democratic leaders of the senate and house at an hour-long emer gency conference yesterday after noon. Previously, he had talked it over with his cabinet for two and a half hours. He said the foreign aid—parti cularly for France and Italy— coula not wait until January. “It now apears,” Truman told his news conference, “that the minimum needs of France can be met with present funds only until about the end of December, and that it will enter the new year without funds to pay for essential imports. “Italy’s needs are even more im mediate, for Italy will require sub stantial assistance before the end of this year.
