EUGENE, Ore.. Aplrl 12. (API

of the Joyous humor and enthusiasm
of the old-fashioned football rally,
atudente of the University of Ore
gon, Northwest Christian college and
the Eugene high schools Friday made
their "demonstration against the war
method" as a substitute for tha nation-wide
collegiate strike against
war which I communist leal ly sus
pect. About 1000 people, off and on. of
whom 600 were fairly stationary, lis
tened to fiery student orators who
denounced International munitions
profiteers, compulsory training, the
Increase in armament expense, and
the naval maneuvers scheduled for
the North Pacific this summer.
There were about 600 people in
car and marching on foot, bearing
banners against war when the parade
through downtown Eugene moved
away from the campus. From the
sidelines a mocking chorus of deep
throated "kidders" kept baying: "We
want war! We want war!" But no
body got excited and peace governed
the demonstration for peace.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 13. (AP)
