DEFENSE BRANCHES NAMED ••• ••• ••• ASUO Names Yell Squad Members • * * Little Relates Basic Program A basic plan of setting up five major branches for the Univer sity’s civilian defense program has been announced by Sidney W. Little, campus defense co ordinator and dean of the school of architecture and allied arts. The five branches include build ings and utilities, administration, control, operations, and special emergencies. Deputies in charge of each will be named in the im mediate future. Effort Minimized Little stressed that “civilian de fense is to be set up through a minimum of effort on everybody’s part merely as preparation in case of a war emergency, and not with any certainty that it will actually be used. “Food, housing, communication, and hospitalization are the most important and will involve the most work,” he said. “Farthest re moved from actual operation, I be lieve, is the division of special emergencies, which involves such things as bomb shelters. It is be ing included merely as an even tuality. Long Range Preparations “Although we have overlooked no aspect, we are concentrating mostly on those projects requiring training programs and detailed preparation, such as housing sur veys and the education of nurses’1 aides,” commented Little.

The poll also revealed that 47.8 per cent among men and 37.3 among women are-partial ly self-sufficent, while 22.8 per cent of the men and 53.2 per cent of the women are wholly rependent. Figures were taken from in formation released by the Of fice of Student Affairs. SIDNEY W. LITTLE Like to Dance? 'Finian's' Needs You and You Dance tryouts for “Finian’s Rainbow,” slated for production Apr. 18-21, will be held at 4 p.m. today on the main stage of the .University Theater. Bettie J. Owen, instructor in physical education, will be dance director for the musical comedy. Miss Owen and Horace W. Robin son, director of the play,, will handle tryouts. Opportunities for solo dances, group dances, couples, and trips are available in the play. Any student, with-or without experience, who is interested in dancing, may attend the tryouts. Interested students who cannot attend today’s tryouts, may contact Miss Owen or Mr. Robinson and make special ar rangements. The' dancing in “Finian's” is “exuberant, gay, joyful, and high ly informal,” according to Miss Owen. She urges students who feel like “kicking up their heels” to at tend the tryouts, since a large number of dancers is required. Semi-classical, folk, modern, hep cat—in fact, every kind of danc ing—will be utilized in the musical comedy, Miss Owen said.

Barbara Stevenson, Associated Women Students president, will present the AWS point system to the council for approval at the Monday session. President Sees Steady Future By Ken Metzler Next year's expected drop in enrollment at the University may not materialize "in any severe proportions,” and in subsequent years enrollment may increase, according to present analysis of selective service and defense proposals, University President Harry K. Xewburn said Thursday. Newburn, however, declared the prediction was not con-, elusive and was based on several tentative assumptions, in cluding the assumption that the military defense proposal of Mrs. Anna Rosenberg and Defense Secretary George C. Mar shall will pass Congress as it now stands. “According to our present analysis and with the assumption that the military defense program of Mrs. Rosenberg and General Marshall is passed in its present form, and if it operates as some have testified it would, then our enrollment would not slip in any serious manner,” President Newburn said. Reasons for Optimism The military defense bill calls for the drafting of 18-ycar-olds, but PRESIDENT H. K. NEWBURN present defense machinery is not set to absorb them all in the first year, the president said. For this reason, and also be cause fewer sophomores, jun iors, and seniors would be draft ed if the proposed defense de partment bill is passed, Presi dent Newburn believed next year’s enrollment would not dip sharply under the proposed bill. Another factor in keeping’ enrollment on an even keel may be the proposed expan sion of college ROTC pro grams, he said. A bill calling for the expansion was re-in I troduccd into the present ses . sion of Congress and is sup ported by the sponsors of the military defense program. The bill calls for government support of students enrolled in the four-year ROTC course. The number of students reaching college age will in crease sharply during the next few years, according to figures on birth rates furnished by the State Board of'Health. This factor is expected to increase enrollment.

This sum would bring the total contributions to almost $500. The drive began on Jan. 15 and will end next Wednesday. Nancy O'Connor, chairman of collections, reported Thursday that approxi mately $14 has been contributed to the drive through the Co-op and Student Union booths. Alpha Hall is the only living organization which has reported collections, but contributions were described as “lagging.” Money collected on the campus will be added to Lane County con tributions to meet a goal of $50,000. Half of the money collected in the community is sent to the Na tional Foundation of Infantile Paralysis for important service:-! which the local chapters cannot perform for themselves. The money remaining here goeu entirely to the treatment of Lane County victims. Enough money must be collected to insure continu ing care for polio victims of pre vious years and provide reserve:' for new cases, Miss Schott explain ed. Funds which go to the national foundation finance research pro jects, provide supplementary funds for epidemic areas, train person nel in therapy, and instruct nurse* and doctors in care of the disease. "Rights Are Taken For Granted" Pound,Noted Jurist,Charms Hearers By Adeline Garbarino Roscoe Pound, noted American jurist, failed to follow, his grand father’s advice last night. He talk ed for more than 50 rriinutes, but none of the 300 people who crowd ed the back room of the Student Union ballroom seemed ;to mind. One of the foremost thinkers of our time, Pound said that if our country continues at the rate that it's now going, it will call for the supermen we thought we got rid of in the last war. “A right,” said Pound, "is a reasonable expectation involved in a civilized society. Rights arc the things we assume and take for granted.” In our country, he continued, the Bill of Rights not only guarantees certain of these expectations but secures them to the people through independent courts. There is a trend, very marked now. to introduce into these funda mental guarantees things we can only wish for, things that cannot be given effect by legal machinery, Pound said. We cannot make peo ple grateful by law; we cannot free them from fear, want, and frus tration. “We can't make the wants of each coordinate with the wants of all," he said. If we do it will weak en the whole system of our Bill of Rights and lead to a supermanv totalitarian form of government,■* because a constitution hampered (Please turn to page eight) Inside Today...
