National Week for International Group
Time out from politics, upheaval, and campus issues to dis
cuss public service.
This is National YWCA Week, set aside to illustrate and
explain the world-wide services of the Young Women s Chris
tian Association.
In the early part of the centrin', the YWCA meant an agent
through which young women could break into the field of
business, particularly in stenographic work, previously re
served for men. The program has expanded to include women
in all fields of endeavor.
In 65 countries of the world, YWCA associations maintain
programs of service. Establishments of this organizations pro
vide inexpensive housing for women everywhere.
But most important, we believe, is the international nature
of its program. Each YWCA establishment is made ai\are
through its organization, of the problems, needs, and progress
of associations in 65 other countries.
United States associations provide agencies of contact for
immigrants, foreign students, student tourists, and relief or-,
ganizations. Extensive relief programs are carried on for coun
tries not yet rehabilitated after war-time devastation.
Its ideals are those of international service—something that
more oeople could consider—J.P.
A Week for Which We'd Stand
An audience which spilled over into the aisles and doorways
oi Room 3, Fenton Hall, Wednesday night proved the popu
larity of this week’s specialized institute on nationalism in
Russia, the Far East, and the United States.
Nobutaka Ike was the speaker at that session, and his talk
on nationalism in Japan was well worth standing for. In fact,
the entire institute has been a credit to the University.
Three men famous in their fields have talked to and with
Oregon students, faculty members, and townspeople. 1 he
fourth, Robert C. North from the Hoover Institute and Library
of Stanford University, is on the campus today. He will talk on
nationalism in China at an open assembly this morning.
At noon Robert North will be the guest at a faculty lunch
eon. This afternoon he’ll join in a professional seminar and an
open “coffee hour,” and tonight he will speak in the Eugene
Hotel.
Such a schedule is typical of the time given by Ike, H. J. Van
Mook, and Julian Towster. The entire week has been so well
planned that no segment of the campus has been neglected.
And the response to these valuable sessions has been typical
of Oregon’s eagerness for education in the bar Eastern field.
This is party due, of course, to the Tar East’s new position in
world politics, but it also must be credited to Dr. Paul S. Dull,
Oregon’s co-ordinator of Far Eastern studies, and the man be
hind the institute of this week.
Alas for A ligand His Love
It has ended.
Shed a sad tear for the storybook romance of Rita Hayworth
and Ali Khan.
The “Cinderella princess” has picked up her golden slippers
and is trotting home to Mother Filmland.
In this tale the big bad wolf seems to be either homesickness
or mental in?ompatibility. Or perhaps the heroine is just travel
weary.
And how does this affect Louella Parsons and the average
University student? Well, maybe we could break out in a rash
of sympathy . . . or donate ALL our blood to the Red Cross.

Bergman a Smash Hit
Playing Role of Saint
i By Don Smith
For those people who will
have no difficulty in imagining
Ingrid Bergman portraying a
Saint, "Saint Joan” at the Rex,
tonight and tomorrow, should
prove a valuable movie exper
ience. This film adaptation, in
technicolor, of Maxwell Ander
son’s stage drama is a thorough
ly beautiful production.
This version of .loan’s story
begins with her life as a pure
and unspoiled country girl, and
ends with her death at the stake.
It carries you through her strug
gle to crown the dauphin King,
through her victorious battles,
through her trial for heresy.
Conflict between the faith and
goodness of Joan, and the cor
ruption and evil of the leaders
of France and England is
brought forward powerfully in
the film.
"Saint .loan” is a fast moving
production using the magnifi
cent scope possible of the cam
era to heighten the effect of this
story of the maid from I.oralne
who saved France.
The production is an excel
lent one in all respects. Settings
are handsome, costuming is
grand. photography is superb.
The beauty of the language is
such as is seldom heard In films.
And the players impart to their
roles realism and distinctiveness;
director Victor Fleming has al
lowed no touch of artificiality in
his picture.
MIhs Bergman Is a fine Joan;
she brings to this role the depth
of understanding which makes
all her portrayals good.
Jose Ferrer could not have
been bettered as the dauphin.
Charles. In his entertaining and
thoughtful characterization he
reveals the strength and weak
ness of the man who later be
came one of France's most crafty
kings. Gene Lockhart, Selena
Royle, and Ward Bond are a few
of the familiar names among
the large cast who turn in smal
ler but still beautiful perform
ances.
I would heartily recommend,
if you intend to see “Saint Joan,"
that you avoid the co-feature -
"Gunfire." It is an especially bad
' western, with little to commend
it unless you consider the pho
tographing of much of the action
over the rear of a horse a worth
while expriment in camera tech
nique.

The Campus Answers
Stitzer Haller Sizzles
Emerald Editor:
With reference to your editor
ial condemning the Stitzer Hall
resolution to withdraw support
from the USA party, please al
low me to correct some misstate
ments of fact and the devious and
twisted misinterpretations con
tained therein.
Stitzer Hall did not vote to sup
port individuals but rather prin
ciples. The resolution merely with
drew our support from the oft
stated but misleading principles
upon which USA is purported to
stand. The fact that USA nomi
nees had not been named is of lit
tle significance to others than po
litically prejudiced editorialists.
Ensuing USA nominations Only
lend strength to our contention
and our convictions that USA is
not so attached to principles as
they would have us believe.
Of material significance is the
fact that USA represents, in fact,
if not in theory, those houses
which for reasons of political ex
pediency chose to associate or
parasitically attach themselves
thereto. Wearing sack-cloth and
eagerly devouring ashes, these
people of “high principle” jump
on a prepared and waiting USA
bandwagon and proceed to beat
themselves to death before the
assembled throng with their past
and “inherently evil” associa
tions, and having seen the light
are nominated by acclamation on
a platform of "very high princi
ples.”
The assertion that USA is “a
party of individuals” is indeed im
pressive, but it takes a great deal
more than a mere assertion to
make such true. As long as USA
is so disguised by allowing devi
ants to associate and disassoci
ate as best fits their immediate
needs and squalid personal ambi
tions, those simple souls who per
vert and distort any honest at
tempt at free and independent
thinking, trapped as they are in
the sands of their own illogic, will
be able to detect little more than
political apathy.
But this apathy finds fruitful
ground not alone In the dormitor
ies, for we do not engender and
generate it. Rather it is the peo
ple in high political circles who
permit this farce to thrive and
grow, and they will, in the end,
allow this political falsehood to
destroy them.
The best way to make “indi
vidual association” a principle of
party organization Ik not to wail,
“if only the men had known,” but
rather tn make the word the deed.
An empty barrel makes a tre
mendous noise, but for all of that,
it is a complete and utter vacuum,
and no amount of editorializing
and vapid harping and carping of
principles will make it anything
else.

.Spring has come. The sap Inin
risen in the campus trees and
in the campus |>olltlc!nns. In the
first instance, the sap brings
forth leaves; in the second, Just
more sap.
The basis for division of poli
tical parties has come In for n
hit of examination. As far ns \vn
can see, there are only threo
bases for parties here at Oregon.
Number one: Issues. This ia
an impractical means of divlsl
ing parties at Oregon. The party
platforms are always similar
"more student government, bet
ter candidates, school spirit.’’
Number two: Uvlng groups.
The tireek vs Independent divi
sion Is an artlftetal one, support
ed only by ndsereants who feel
that all members of the oppos^'
group are stinkers.
Number three: Candidates.
This would seem to be the logical
one. Unfortunately, Oregon's
political backing goes not neces
sarily to the best candidate, but
to the one in the appropriate
living organization.
We have one coalition parly
on campus at the present time.
The principles of this party are
intelligent and forward look
ing. It is probably true that not
all tlie leaders of this party live
up to the principles.
Irately a danger to the tradi
tion of coalition polities has
arisen. It was announced in
Thursday’s Kmerald that several
Independent students were run
ning outside the coalition party.
Very well. But at least one of
these candidates stated as her
reason for running the fact that
"half of the United Students
Association nominees. . .are from
Greek housps.”
The balance of actual mem
hers of the party is roughly
even between Greeks and Inde
pendents.
The danger In that candidate's
statement Is that If It becomes
a trend, Greek and Independent
students In USA might come to
a parting of the ways.
This would swing polities
back into their old ‘Tm-a-Greek
ahah!" and "You're-an-Inde
pendent-bah!” rut.
