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.

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

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. .

of government; aa we have public

sion: "Release to this community the

Results of a poll taken by the

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

the entire student body partici

unanimity of opinion on most of
the current war questions, It was
found, although post-war ques

senior economics class, according
to Mr. Akers, will be organized

Mr. Akers' social economics
class has just completed its study

the students have been enlight

much older people.
Reports from current magazines

the functions of social security,

"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?"

"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
