VOLUME LII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1951 NUMBER 53 Reds Seek World Control—Truman Compiled from the Wires of Associated Press To Take Over the World, Step by Step. ... Is the objective of Russia's leaders, charged President Truman yesterday as he delivered his “State of the Union” address to the Congress. "We will fight, if fight we must, to keep our freedom and to pre vent justice from being destroyed. We will not engage in ap peasement.” The President continued. “We are preparing for full war-time mobilization, if that should become necessarv.” as a pari oi mat preparation, the President said he wants changes in the draft laws, higher taxes, greater wage-price control powers, improvement of labor and federal aid for training medical men and women. “I am confident that we can suc ceeed in the great task that lies be fore us. We will succeed, but we must all do our part. We must all act together as citizens of this great republic,” the President con tinued. “The imperialism of the Czars has been replaced by the even more ambitious, more crafty, and more menacing imperialism of the rulers of the Soviet Union. The present rulers of the Soviet Union have shown they are willing to use their power to destroy the free nations and win domination over the whole world,” President Truman declared. The greatest hope, believes Presi dent Traman, is a Strong and in telligent United Nations. education, and Student Affairs Meeting Today The present dessert policy and hours men are allowed in women’s houses are two topics on the agen da of the Student Affairs Com mittee meeting at 4 p.m. today in the Student Union. Whether or not to continue Wed nesday desserts is a problem which frequently appears for discussion, Committee Secretary Dick Wil liams pointed out, due to their in terruption of midweek studying. Hours which men may be in women’s houses will be discussed in particular reference to the time frgm 10-10:30 p.ntt Sunday through Donald M. DuShane said. Other subjects for discussion will be student participation in dramatic production, considering the amount of interference with academic work. Hank Panian, president of the Student Union Board, will present to the Committee a picture of the total SU program. Coke Date End Recommended Heads of Houses at its meeting Monday advocated the discontinu ation of 10-10:30 p.m. week-night coke dates. This recommendation was made to avoid concentrated disturbance of evening study schedules during the week, President Jackie Pritzen explained. The group also discussed the dessert situation, and voted to re tain the present dessert policy. Under this an unlimited number of desserts would be allowed living oijganizations fall term; however, Winter and spring only four func tions, including both desserts and exchange dinners, could be held each term. Committee chairman Draft Changes Would be Hard On Law School With a near 100% male enroll ment, the University’s law school will be hardest hit by any drastic changes in the draft law, according to Orlando Hollis, dean of the school. Although this large male enroll ment places the Law school in a rather precarious position, it is probably the safest school on the campus at this time with the pre sent draft laws, Hollis said. Out of the present enrollment of 100 students, 74 are veterans exempt from the draft. Thirty of these students are first-year law students who will, if allowed, finish the required three .years..- - Drop in Enrollment Nevertheless, there has been a drop in enrollment from last year, which places the school somewhere near its pre-war level. Fall term 1949 there were 149 students as compared to 211 in 1948-49, which was the largest enrollment the school has had. If a sudden change in the nation al situation necessitated the call ing of veterans, and a large per cent of the law school students are called, the school probably will not close, Hollis has indicated. During the last war there were only about seven students remain ing and school continued for them, he explained. Frosh Below 2.

(Please turn to fiaijc three) Opera Singer Slated Thursday Blanche Thebom, noted Swedish singer from the Metropolitan Opera, will sing here at 8 p.m. Thursday in McArthur Court. Student body cards (cash regist er receipts) will admit students to the Civic Music Association spon sored program. Having worked hard at her music under the sponsorship of her employer when she was a sec retary, Miss Thebom knows the value of a sponsor. With this in mind, she is now offering a $1,500 scholarship for two years to any singer between the ages of 25 and 30 years toward professional work. Auditions will take place in November for those who send ap plications to the Blanche Thebom Scholarship Foundation, Suite 300, 711 Fifth Avenue, New York City 22, before Sept. 15. Wide Repetoire The long-haired mezzo-soprano has a wide operatic repetoire con sidering that she has studied only ten years. Among her roles are in cluded Amneris in Verdi's “Aida,” Giulietta in Offenbach's “Tales of Hoffmann,” Marina in “Boris Godunoff” and many others. She says she prefers the villainesses in the operas (which sopranos often have to sing) because they are ever so much more interesting to her! Miss Thebom also makes record ings and is said to have the same confident stage presence in front of a microphone as she does before an audience. Her recordings ran from Schumann’s “Five Hebraic Poems” with Byron’s texts to “Love in the Dictionary,” a hum orous piece taken directly from the Funk & Wagnall’s Unabridged Dictionary.

Millrace to Get Water—Maybe There will be water in the mill race sometime this week—maybe. The water had been shut off be cause it interfered with work on the new UO physical plant, accord ing to City Manager Oren L. King. It was supposed to be turned on again Friday, he stated, but the contractor requested another week’s postponment. I. I. Wright, superintendent of the physical plant, told the Eme rald Monday that, as far as he knows, the contractor had com pleted the work with which the millrace water interfered.

Petitions Called The council voted to call for pe titions for junior class presidency to fill the vacancy left by Willard Dodds. Dodds had' moved into the top spot from the vice-presidency to replace Vernon Beard at the first of fall term. Beard appeared at the council meeting and asked that he be con sidered to fill the presidency he had left fall term. Shirley Hillard secretary, and Donna Base, treasurer, are the onljn acting officers of the junior class at the present time. Council mem bers said that these two, along with Board, would be considered' with other petitioners for the. presidency. Money Lined l'p The other top issue of the meet ing student body cards with pic tures—was placed in the hands of ASUO President Barry Mountain and Junior Representative Virginia Wright after discussion. Mountain reported that the Ath letic Department will give $251 for the new cards, which are designed to include name, photograph, and birthdate. This $251 is equivalent to the sum which went into athletic card's previously. Total cost of the cards will be ap proximately $585, and Mountain said the Executive Council will send a letter to President Newburm through Student Union Director Dick Williams asking that the bal ance of money needed be taken out of the Education Activities fund. Decision This Week President Newburn is out of town, so his decision will not como until late this week. Mountain and Miss Wright will decide then if the schedule of notification photo graphing, and distribution is too close to allow printing of the cards this term. Pictures for the cards were originally scheduled to be taken the first three days of this week at a charge of ten cents per stu dent. But a. legal technicality'tem porarily stopped completion of tbo cards. This technicality was that the ten-cent fee could not be charged, because it would be a compulspry sum levied over and above those fees already set by the State Board of Higher Education. The legal catch was pointed out by Howard Lemons, administrative assistant to Newbtirn. Considered Early Mountain pointed out that the Executive Council began work on the cards last fall before the liquor controversy came up. The council then began consideration of a more stable card to replace the cashier's receipt and athletic card used at the present time. Other discussions at the meet ing covered scholastic ineligibilities of student body officers. Mountan said yell leader Arne Simonson is the only member of the rally squad who survived tho 2. grade point requirement. The council decided to use only one | yell leader and the five song lead I ers for basketball season. (Please turn to pane three) I
