INFANTILE ITbiOtf kl I JANUARY 14-91 1 Uni-Hi News More Uni-Hi boys are taking their physicals for different branches of the service this week. Bill Hohnstein went to Seattle to take his physical for the navy VB. Don Blythe, Orant Chase, and Bob Martin went to Portland for the army air corps, and Al Stockatad and Paul Cole will leave later In the week for Seattle and the navy V-8 physical exam. A dance, 'The Basin Street Swing Una," was given Jan. 36, to raise money for the Junior senior prom in April. Advertisement and invitations have been presented to both junior highs and to Eugene high. The entertainment will be pre sented by a boogie-woogie piano player, a singer, and some jitter bugs. Refreshments will be sold. Betty Bushman, senior, has just passed her speed test, and won a Oregg certificate for taking dictation at 100 words per min ute for five minutes. Only two girls have won this certificate so far, the other one being Delores Frederick. The music class is now learn ing how to recognize key signa tures, practicing student directing, and also doing some a cappeUa singing. So war, Mist Garnett has found several students that are quite capable as directors and ac companists. She hopes that by spring the class will be able to do a cappella singing well enough so that they may use It in the bac calaureate and commencement exercise. Many attractively-written books have just arrived in our library. Among them are "Guadalcanal worker, in-migrant or otherwise; and that arbitrary distinctions which penalize one variety in fa vor of another are not simply un just but are disruptive of tha war effort in an enlightened commun ity. "3. That the shortage of housing in this community has been ag gravated and intensified by ar bitrary bureaucratic controls, which have operated to paralyze community effort in the field of housing; there having been in this community at all times quantities of building materials, together with available labor in the older age brackets, together with willing capital for building, 'as well as a great desire from this community to get actively Into the war effort wherever possible. "4. That It is a matter of rec ord government housing officials were brought to Eugene on two different occasions by this asso ciation and the bad housing situ ation here was presented to them, but to no avail, "8. That recently as is known officialdom has determined to release materials for the con struction of a certain number. of units,. both new and by conversion of older dwellings. This decision to ease the pressures on war workers, though tardy in our opinion, is praiseworthy and in line of duty. We say better late than never, . . "6. But, In our opinion, re strictions have been attached to this release of matariale which are unscientific, discriminatory, if not positively disrupting to the unity of this free, loyal, democratic yet war minded community. These re strictions innocently limit the use of new housing units to so-called in-mlgranta only. In our opinion these restrictions are indefensi ble. They have nothing to do with the winning of the war. . "7. We simply say to the agents of government; aa we have public ly plead on more than one occa sion: "Release to this community the use of materials long stored here, together with any other materials Diary," "Inside Benehley," and you are now wiling to allocate for uiwmuns; hmui wiui i nousing in uus area.

Results of a poll taken by the Journalism class to determine what Uni-Hi students think about the war and post-war problems are presented in the current issue of the Hi-tights, school paper. , Handled through the social liv ing and social economics classes, the entire student body partici pated in the survey. There was unanimity of opinion on most of the current war questions, It was found, although post-war ques tions received innumerable opin ions. The next topic of study for the senior economics class, according to Mr. Akers, will be organized labor In the United States. Mr. Akers' social economics class has just completed its study unit on social security. Many of the students have been enlight ened on this subject which puzzles much older people. Reports from current magazines and books were given explaining the functions of social security, and its future possibilities. A comprehensive test was given at tha completion of the unit 1 Lt. Albers Graduated From Flight Training Lt. Marcus Jerome Albert, son of Mrs. Catherine T. Albert, 1132 Alder street, was graduated Jan uary 18 from the naval air train ing center at Oorpua Christ!, Tex., and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U. 8. marine corps reserve. He is being trans ferred to Florida for operational duty. Lieutenant Albert is a former student of the State college at Dickinson, N. Dak., and of the junior collage at Bismarck, N. Dak. Medal Awarded 15TH ARMY AIR FORCE Cpl. Alva E. Mover, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moyer of 1JS Willam ette St, Eugene, recently wat awarded the good conduct medal at this advanced AAF fighter base in the Mediterranean thea ter. He attended the University High prior to his enlistment in December 1941 and received his technical training at the radio school, Scott Field, ID. He now servee as a radio man with a vet eran P-S8 fighter group which re cently completed its first year of combat. "8. We further say: Let bureaus cooperate with local communities. Let them trust this community for a little intelligence, a little loyal ty and cooperation. Cooperation implies a mutual trust and pulling together. The . free cooperative home front is infinitely more effi cient in America than is the par tially shackled or wholly shackled home front of fascist Japan or Fascist Germany. "9. In our opinion the restric tions placed on the use of hous ing units are political in nature. They have nothing to do with the winning of the war. We believe the bureaucratic restrictions to be indefensible and we protest against them with all the power at our command. We do not want to be a party to policies which contrib ute to establishing a fascism from within. "10. Unless the small American community can be eternally vigi lant In this war and in the armis tice to come, the sons of America will have died In vain. What avails it to disarm fascist machinery and fascist force on the other side of the earth, the while fascist ma chinery and fascist force in the background, without excuse and without necessity, are irrevocably applied to a trusting and loyal and cooperative homeland?" Grocery Sold "An emu letter" from the En- gene teal Eatate beard to tbe "whole poWic" clarifying and ex plaining the board's stand on the recently granted national housing project for the local area Is pub lished in fall today, betide (hit artiala. The letter waa Drepared and approved, because, aa the real tors s la lea, inejr peuevea we pun lie had the wrong Impression re sardine the board's views en the subject through numerous news stories and pa bile discussion of tha peat two weeks. Approval of the letter, presented aaa resolution from the board, was voted at a prolonged session of the group Friday afternoon and fol lowing two meetings featured by much spirited and at times near- explosive talk and argument An! nit Method Those of the board fighting the method of set-up for the housing protect throughout the neatea at bates, aeread with others there hat been and is need for additional housing facilities here, but that a principle is at stake, that local autonomy is being ignored, that "arbitrary bureaucratic controls" have operated to throttle local efforts and local control. ..-So-called "restrictions" by the government limiting these houses to in-migrant war workers were another sore spot in arguments centering around the project. Those opposing the project ss it operates declared such restrictions are "discriminatory." Paul W. Campbell, one of the real estate board who had assisted in securing options on lots for the project and the one who has argued most persistants in behalf of the 'project at board sessions, in the closing debate before vote on the letter declared he would like to make it clear that such houses are not just for in-migrant war work ers, those who have come in here 'within the last two years, but for ALL war workers who are without adequas housing facilities or who have had their residences sold out from under them or have been forced out of their homes. Arguments Spirited Most outspoken against the proj ect has been James A. Rodman, Sr. who has repeatedly stated the restrictions as outlined by the gov ernment agency for this project and the method of its set-up "are political in nature." Accused of bringing politics Into the issue, Rodman vehemently de nied the charge and declared his fight and his remarks were above politics as such and concerned with the fundamental principles of good government. He declared the problem before the board was qne of a most serious nature, one of the most grave responsibilities the board had ever faced. The board has a chance to pioneer the way in making its voice heard to show that the little American commun ities are still capable of fighting for their, rights, that they can stand up and protest when the principles of free government are being submerged, he declared. "Not many appreciate the awful state ahead for this country, not many appreciate the significance of winning the peace as well as the war," he added. When several commented it doesn't matter what Eugene says, the .government will proceed as it pleases, and that in these war times we should not make protest when the government says such and such must be done, Rodman fairly exploded to shout 'To say we haven't the right to protest is the worst type of Americanism; it is unbelievable to say we have no right to protest because the government has said to," banging his chair on the floor for emphasis. Rent control Is practically here, it is invited and brought on by such a set-up of projects, warned Rodman,- F. M.
