Commencement to See Reunions
REPRESENTATIVES of severalgraduating classes will look at theirt
the time has come?reunion time. Alreadyplans are being formed for reunions of the
classes of '82, '92, '02, '12, '17, '22, and '32and everything around the University, even
the weather, is being groomed for "alumniclay."
This year because the only remainingmember of the class of '82 is unable to
attend, the spotlight will center on return-ing members of the class of 1892. Seven
members of the class are living today andthree of these already have indicated a de-
sire to attend the reunion. F. H. Porter andRussell E. Sewall, both of Portland, will
be here and Thomas G. Greene, also ofPortland, expects to be able to attend.
It was 50 years ago when members ofthis class tucked their diplomas into their
pockets and left the University. Fifty yearsago, when the University was confined to
a few buildings, when Friendly hall wasjust being started, and when the student
body still could be counted in the hundreds.Fifty years has produced many changes
in the University. Returning members ofthe class of '92 will find an institution with
over 2800 students covering an area of over100 acres and with a faculty larger than the
entire student body back in their day.Although definite confirmation is lacking,
plans are also being made for a reunionof Oregon's 40 year class, the graduates of 1902.
Mrs. Mildred Bagley Graham, permanentclass secretary of the class of 1912, has
been very active in contacting members ofher class and promises one of the largest
turnouts of any reunion group.
At press time Ow> OREGON also was lack-ing word from members of the class of
1917, the 25 year group, but it was assumedthat representatives would be here. Because
of the war the class of 1922 has decided topostpone its reunion, the secretary writes.
Plans to hold it at a later date will be an-
nounced in OLD ORECON.

Of Thee I Sing' Headlines
Annual Junior Weekend
By BETTY JANE BIGGS, (43
Substituting for Oregon's traditional canoe fete as top event of theannual Junior Weekend celebration will be "Of Thee I Sing", a
musical comedy with a cast of over 150. Plans for the event alreadyare underway with the campus preparing for a large crowd of
alumni, mothers and fathers. In charge of all promotion and pub-licity for the event is Miss Betty Jane Biggs, '43, right, author of
of this article.
IMAGINE the campus without a millrace.The Class of '43 faced that problem this
end. The perplexd directorate mulled overthe puzzle session after session. The solu-
tion came from Horace \V. Robinson, As-sistant professor of drama,?a musical such
as "With Fear and Trembling," the raveof spring term, 1939.
What stage extravaganza would suit aJunior Weekend audience more than "Of
Thee I Sing," for laughs, music, dances.The directorate voted "aye" to the long-
running Broadway hit.
General Director Robinson turned ma-gician. In a twinkling of an eye he had his
blue print for two stages in McArthurcourt, his cast of 150. Deep-voiced Larry
Celsi would electioneer as Wintergreen.Mary Staton Krenk would be elected Frst
Lady on the platform of "Love." JerryLakefish as Throttlebottom would finally
solve the question of the duties of a vice-president.
There can be a Junior Weekend withouta millrace but there can't be a Junior
cided on Princesses Frances Cox, Milodene(ioss, Dorothy Greer, and Margaret
Sleeper.
Regal "Ellie" was dubbed the "Stars andStripes queen'' as Junior headmen took
over the musical's title "Of Thee I Sing,"for the theme of the Weekend.
"We're not trying to sell defense bondsor be recruiting officers in using the red,
white, and blue motif," explained PresidentPat Cloud, "we're emphasizing a happy
patriotism of awareness of our country."
Cloud named John Busterud, Marshfield,to get things rolling for the big three days.
Soon Johnny had the details under way?embroidering on the first 51 Weekends to
add "biggter and better" features.
The noon whistle Friday, May 8, offic-ially opens Oregon's three-day celebration
honoring Mothers. An entirely newWeekend without a queen. April 16, Ore-
gon's student body marched to the pollsand democratically conferred upon Eleanor
Engdahl the royal crown. To surrond HerMajesty's willowly blondness, students de-

cake fare will tempt the campus appetite.Queen Ellie will receive her crown from
Prime Minister Bud Wimberly shortlyafter lunch and from her red, white and

as they pick their pledges.
Ole Sol for the past half century hasnever failed to attend Junior Weekend.
Head committeemen have extended him aspecial invitation for the terrace dance Sat-
urday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock.
The war has cramped campus dances.Decorations must be of the most simple
type ruled the educational activities board?but they excepted the Junior Prom. An
elaborate camaflouge for McArthur court,carrying out the "Of Thee I Sing" motif
is being worked out for Friday night. QueenEllie and her subjects will dance to campus
maestro Art Holman's music.
Early-rising Mothers will not be able torecognize their mud-cloaked freshmen and
sophomore sons as the underclassmenbattle it out for supremacy over gooey
earth-and-water soaked trenches Saturdaymorning at 9 o'clock.
Another campus argument will be set-tled on the field of honor as Independent
all-Stars meet Greek all-Stars Saturdayafternoon at 1 o'clock in a softball game.
Surrounded by sheltering green shrubsand shaded by flowering fruit trees, Oregon
sons and daughters will invite their parentsto relax and be entertained by the Sunlight
Serenade Saturday afternoon, from 3 to 5.
The curtain will ring up at 8 o'clockSaturday evening on the climax of the
Weekend, the musical comedy, "Of Thee ISing." More seats will be available than
bleachers at the canoe fete, the campus canbe cooled by a shower of rain without fear
of wrecking the evening's entertainment
as Oregon's guests watch the platform of"Love" sweep John Wintergreen into the
nation's presidential chair.
There's more, too. Individual fraternityserenades, Mothers' meetings, Mothers'
luncheons, golf games, tours of the campus,opportunity to meet the faculty.

American
Policy and
Argentina
By LEONARD GREENUP, '37
The biggest silver-lined cloud
in Pan-American relations is
that North Americans genuinely
want to know more about Ar-
gentina and how to get along
with South Americans in gen-
eral, writes Alumnus Leonard
Greenup, '37, right, a member
of the United Press bureau in
Buenos Aires. Shortly after the
recent conference at which
American - Argentine relations
seemed almost at the breaking
point, OLD OREGON con-
tacted Mr. Greenup for a first-
hand story on how to improve
these relations. The following
story, via clipper, is the result.
It is in two parts, the second
of which will be presented in
the June issue.
IT was nearly 100 in the shade, and themoisture pouring in from the River Platte
made up for all the shade of Buenos Aires'skyscrapers. Actually, it was worse than
Portland feels to a patriotic Eugenean onthe hottest day of summer.
As I stepped out to take the service ele-vator that goes down from the editorial
rooms on the fourth floor of the "BuenosAires Herald," two young men were sitting
on the floor of the elevator. I almost step-ped on them when I got in.
The pair grinned. I grinned, and then
asked them "por que?" Why were they sit-ting on the floor? They grinned again,
touched the steel floor, felt of the seat oftheir pants.
One answered, "Es mas frio." Yeah, they
were sitting on the floor of the elevatorriding up and down, because it was the
coolest place in the building. I grinnedagain, laughed and shook my head, "Muy
loco Argentino," I observed. One of the
pair laughed back, but a little doubtfullythis time. "Loco, eh?" he said.
"Si," I said, "Muy loco loco Argentine."Then I told him that it was the first time
I had been able to call an Argentine crazy.
Before, it had always been me who was a"loco Americano." "Si", I said, trying to
get it over, "yo soy loco Americano usted,es muy loco Argentino."
Well, he didn't like that an Argentineis an American, too. It took some fast
talking then, but I finally convinced them
that what I had meant was that I was acrazy "north Americano," while they were
crazy South Americans. When I did, wewere friends again.
That little story indicated a number of
things. But the most important meaning is
that Argentines don't like to be called
Argentines, while somebody else sets him-
self up as American. By the same token,
they don't like to be called Latins. They
aren't Latins, any more than we are Eng-
lishmen. Just as Americans (in the United
States) don't like to be called Englishmen
or German or French, but what we are,
Americans?so do the Argentines dislike
being reminded that all they are or can be,
they owe to their darling Europe, whether
it be France, Spain or Portugal. They are
something apart.
They built this hemisphere, the southern
part of it, anyway, and anyone who conies
from Spain or any other part of the Iberian
peninsula and goes around talking pure
Spanish or putting on airs in front of the
"unenlightened" folk is labeled as one of
those?"Gallegos," which is about as un-
complimentary a term as you'll find in the
volatile Argentine vocabulary.
SO that is point number one. Don't call
what part of Europe he came from. Ifyou've got to have a committee for improv-
ing relations, call it Pan-American, SouthAmerican or any other kind of American,
but not, for Heaven's sake, Latin-Amer-ican.
I also have discovered that the Argen-tines are far less formal than the English,
and possibly less so than North Americans.
You may meet the president of the Argen-tine Rural society at a luncheon at the
Palermo International show. When youmeet him the next time, the president will
likely slap you on the back, holler "quetal?" and make you feel like an old friend.
Back slapping and "abrazos' are a nationalcustom. Once you are one of the boys, you
stay that way.
Argentines don't have a superiority com-plex. On the contrary, like North Amer-
icans, too, they are an ambitious people.So they go in for a certain amount of pre-

Meet Our
Alums
By RAY SCHRICK, '43
From one of the electrical en-
gineers of a plant with a mere
113,000 horsepower to general
superintendent of a system
which is the largest in all Can-
ada and second only to Boulder
Dam in North America has
been the unusual record of Ore-
gon's Charles Roy Reid, '06.
Listed as one of the big names
in Who's Who in Engineering
and certainly one of the im-
portant men in Canada today,
Mr. Reid has always kept in
close contact with his
Alma Mater.
TJIGH above the broad St. Lawrenceriver, some 300 feet in the air the cables
of the Shawinigan Light and Power com-pany can be seen, a monument to the genius
of modern engineers. Because ships caughttheir anchors on underwater lines, the Ca-
nadian company was forced to find a lesstroublesome way of transversing the river.
Cables from 300 foot towers, built of thebest steel and based in solid rock, were the
answer.
Back of this, the largest power companyin all Canada, is one of North America's
foremost engineers, a thorough, energetic"young" man of 60 years whose hair has
turned gray, but whose ardor for engineer-ing progress is as strong today as it was
25 years ago when he was a student underProfessor E. E. DeCou at the University
of Oregon. He is Oregon's Charles RoyReid, '06.
While getting his mathemathical andengineering foundations at the University,
recalls Professor DeCou, young Reid mixedfootball with pleasure. Far from satisfied
with this accomplishment he served aspaid secretary for the Oregon YMCA,
conducted a class in college mathematicsduring his senior year, and still graduated
with honors Summa Cum Laudi.
Even with this Mr. Reid would not leavehis Eugene home and stayed on another
six years as instructor and later assistant
professor in the Department of ElectricalEngineering.
Prince Lucien Campbell came in as
president of the University of Oregon whenMr. Reid entered school, and engineering
went out as a University course when Mr.Reid's last class in this subject was grad-
uated in 1916.
Today, as general superintendent of
Shawinigan Water and Power Co., Mr.Reid holds a position of unusual distinction
in the ranks of University alumni. For
Shawinigan Falls is not only the largest.in Canada, but second only to Boulder Dam
for yearly output in all of North America.
'T'HE Shawinigan power plant has grown
to become one of the world's largest
producers of electric energy, since he moved
Page 4
to Canada in 1916. Keeping close pace with
this development his been Mr. Reid's in-
creasing importance in his 27 years of work.
Starting as electrical engineer when the
output was a mere 113,000 horsepower per
year (peak load), Shawinigan and Mr.
Reid have grown till 1941 the power plant
reached a peak of 1,265,000 horsepower,
and our Oregon alum held the most im-
portant engineering position, general sup-
erintendent.
Professor DeCou describes Mr. Reid as
"a man of capability and keenness of grasp
in his works", as "thorough and exact," as
"of the finest character and ability," and
as "very kindly and friendly, pleasant, a
gentleman always."
Charles Roy Reid was born in the small
Oregon town of Marion on December 14,
1879. He entered the University of Oregon
in 1902 and received his degree in 1906. He
is married to another University alum, the
former Edna M. Houston, '09.
Who's Who in Engineering lists his
favorite pastimes as golf, curling and fish-
ing, and reveals that he has carried on
his University interest in sports through
membership in the Montreal Amateur Ath-
letic association.
A LTHOUGH he lives and works in
-^ Canada, Reid still retains his United
States citizenship and has a home in Bos-
ton.
The Oregon alum's work as general
superintendent calls for knowledge of
almost every phase of light, power and
water engineering, knowledge which he
has built up in his many years of service
with the Canadian company. Some of the
engineering problems are far different from
those of local power directors, for instead of
storing water for summer use, the Canadi-
an locale holds it instead for the winter
months when everything is frozen over. To
do this it has been necessary for the com-
pany to maintain dams as far north as the
Hudson bay divide.
Mr. Reid returned to the University this
February to visit old friends, including
Professor DeCou and Joseph A. McArthur,
superintendent of the Eugene Water
board. He returned?in addition to the
honors already mentioned?with a mem-
bership in Sigma Xi, national science
honorary, in the Canadian Electrical asso-
ciation, The American Institute of Electri-
cal Engineers, and the Engineering Insti-
tute of Canada.
Turnover in Athletics
By JOE MILLER, '43
Within a month the University of Oregon hashad its greatest turnover in history in athletic
coaching personnel. Head Football Coach G. A."Tex" Oliver resigned to accept a navy appoint-
ment. The athletic board named as his succes-sor, Vaughn Corley, who remained as head
man for less than two days before he also wascalled by the navy. This moved hard-working
Freshman Coach "Honest John" Warren intothe top spot. Edwin Atherton, right, Pacific
coast conference chief, congratulates Warren.
THE far-reaching hands of the nationalwar effort, that have been changing
pointed suddenly at the University of Ore-gon last month. Head football mentor
G. A. "Tex" Oliver was called up by thenaval reserve and left almost immediately
for Annapolis. In his place was appointedthe Line Coach Vaughn Corley, happy-go-
lucky Texan, who had turned out someof Oregon's greatest linemen.
But Corley was "coach for but a day.''Some 40 hours after his appointment, he
too, was called into the navy, as a juniorlieutenant, and left the Duck football craft
minus a leader. This development pavedthe way for the ascendency of "Honest
John" Warren, '28 frosh coach for the lastseven years and an Oregon alum.
Anse Cornell and the board waited aweek, looking over the applications that
streamed in from all over the country, con-taining such names as Tiny Thornhill,
former Stanford headman, and Jim Thorpe,Eastern football great. Then, Monday eve-
ning, April 20, "Honest John" was giventhe job.
He steps up from the Frosh with one ofthe strongest records of any coach in the
conference. In his seven years here histeams have won 18, lost 10, and tied 3. Last
season the Ducklings went undefeated,beating the OSC Rooks twice and down-
ing the Washington Husky Pups, 12 to 0.
"Honest John" is a fundamentalist fromway back. Unlike Oliver he doesn't believe
in scrimmage until his athletes have gonethrough about three weeks of conditioning.
It has paid off, too, because his teams havebeen especially notable for their ability to
go through gruelling season with a mini-mum of injury.
WARREN was one of "Cap" Mc-
the years of '25, 26, and '27. After gradu-ation he went to Astoria high school
where he compiled a spectacular record asthe mentor of the Fishermen. They won 56
out of 70 football games, going through
three seasons undefeated. His basketballrecord was even greater. His teams won
the state championship four times and an-
nexed 304 wins to 36 defeats. He was recog-nized as the best prep school coach in the
state when his University called him in
1935.
\To varsity assistants will be appointeduntil next fall, but Warren's freshman
duties will be taken over by GraduateManager Anse Cornell and, possibly Ray
Segale, three-year varsity guard, who re-ceived coast mention last fall.
The Oregon coaching situation was hiton other fronts, too. Swim coach H. S.
"Mike" Hoyman, who piloted the Aqua-Ducks to the coast title this winter (OLD
OREGOX, April issue), resigned suddenly,because it "impaired his professional de-
velopment."
Hoyman's coaching duties were just asideline to him, and his work as an assistant
professor in the school of physical educa-tion was being jeopardized, he said. His
main work was not in the field of coaching,and he received no salary or academic
credit for coaching the Oregon mermen.
"Mike" has been very active in the fieldof health education, writing several im-
portant booklets on the subject, and beingconsultant to the Xorthwest schools of
physical education. His resignation leavesOregon's only championship team without
a coach.
TX the world of baseball, the smooth pro-gress of the Ducks was interrupted opening
Saturday at Corvallis, when Don Durdancame through in the ninth inning with a
line single to center that scored NormPeters, giving the Beavers a 2 to 1 triumph
over little Nick Begleries and the Web-foots. Oregon had 9 wins and 1 defeat in
practice games.
* * *
Oregon's net squad was rudely handledby the Washington Huskies at Seattle that
same weekend, the Ducks losing 6 to 1.The only Oregon victory was posted by the
doubles team of Jim Ricksecker and JoeRooney, who downed Washington's Lefty
Eden and Fran Graves, 6-4 and 6-2. TheVarsity meets Idaho and Washington State
the weekend of April 25, while the froshtangle with Eugene and Springfield high
schools.
EX-OREGON COACHES?All of football's "big three," Manny Vezie, left,
Tex Oliver, and Vaughn Corley have been called from the University. Vezie
left fall term and both Oliver and Corley were calld to navy duties in April.

IT would be difficult to pass an averageday in Baker county without coming into
lations, with an alumnus of the Universityof Oregon. Go downtown in Baker and
you probably will go into a store owned andoperated by a University alum, pick up
your evening paper and there will be a storyedited by an Oregon man, or travel very
far outside the city and you will pass alonga ranch owned by a former University stu-
dent.
Among the Baker county men servingin the nation's armed forces are many form-

eral hospital, Vancouver, Wash.; WilmotVermillion, '38, naval reserve, University
of Portland.

tense. You really aren't anybody unlessyou have either a glamorous house, or live
in an apartment with a porter at the en-trance to hold the elevator door for you.
And, per capita, there are more elevatorsin Buenos Aires than I've seen anywhere
in the world. Even run-down buildingshave them.
The foyers to these buildings havesmooth granite, marble, black marble or
brown stone panels, with hosts of mirrorsand brass pillars. They're tremendously
showy. The glitter in Buenos Aires is un-equalled anywhere in the world. Most of
the furniture glitters, and huge crystalchandeliers are on sale in any respectable
department store. When you rent any un-furnished apartment, you put in the light-
ing fixtures yourself. And instead of kissingthe bride here, you give her a chandelier.
The bigger and more showy it is?thechandelier?the better it is for you.
What does all this glitter mean? Prob-ably the same thing it meant in the United
States until not so long ago. It is the out-ward sign of ambition, the desire to show
off, the mark of class. It was to be acceptedand reckoned with for some time to come.
T^HERE is another thing to be reck-oned with. That is the Argentines' love
for sculpture, of beautiful public places.He likes revealing statues, a nude figure in
white stone set in startling contrast againsttrees and green-shaded water. He likes
churches, too. Go for a ride in a bus here,and you'll see the commuters quietly cross-
ing themselves when they pass a church.
Beauty, glitter, women and churches.Those are the keys to understanding. When
you realize that, it because less difficult forme to tell you that our movies have been
doing a swell job of selling the UnitedStates to Argentina. The Hollywood brand
of glamour, with automobiles, luxuriousswimming pools, women scintillating at
cocktail parties, becomes a model for Ar-gentines. They like it; it is something to
work for.On: the other hand, perhaps a greater
share of Hollywood productions might tryto interpret that overwhelming majority of
us who live between luxury and misery.When John Erskine was here last winter,
he suggested that he would like to see coffee
and bread on the table, just to show theArgentines that we do not live on cock-
tails and caviar alone. We might even putout a little wine once in awhile, in a bottle
on a red-striped tablecloth.
Some of our best publicity appears in thenewsreels from Miami Beach and Cali-
fornia. Beauty contests are sure fire with
an Argentine audience. Every Argentineconsiders himself a connoisseur of feminine
beauty. If you don't believe that, you oughtto take a stroll some afternoon behind a
beautiful girl through the sidewalk cafes
of Avenida de Mayo, when the boys aresitting around for a coffee. You won't see
any of them putting up a cup while thelady is passing. They are too busy staring.
An American girl would be too insulted totake it as tribute, but that's what it is.
They like beauty. And when a bevy ofbeauties cross the screen in a newsreel. it
isn't only the men who look that way. The
women are just as interested. They seek toimprove themselves by observing others.
As a result, Argentine women are the
best dressed in South America, and rankwith the best-dressed in the world. To sum
up, a dozen American beauties zooming
Page 10
through the surf behind gleaming powerboats against a background of silvery
clouds are worth four miles of Germancelluloid showing mass production of tanks,
planes and guns, and conquest by blitz-kreig.
T SAY that because Argentines not onlylike beauty, they like to play, too. In
the last dozen years they have learnedto play more consistently than North
Americans, because they have a law pro-viding for two weeks of vacation with pay
for every worker in the country. They havetheir beaches and mountains, and use them.
If I am to name any one "don't" in re-gard to making movies, it would be this:
Don't, if you're making a picture aboutArgentina, show the Argentine a lot of
palm trees, mantillas and antiquated dress

or folk dances. That isn't Argentina; it isthe North American's romantic conception
of Argentina. The Argentine is more con-sciously modern than any other people in
the world. He isn't particularly proud ofwhat his country was a hundred years ago.
Hollywood is one of the reasons whyBuenos Aires has taken modern cities as its
model, why it has huge buildings, widestreets, automobiles and all the other ac-
countrements of a butsling, modern civiliza-tion. Why should Hollywood want to take
away everything that the Argentine hasbeen working so hard to get? That is the
reason why Argentine audiences tried totear up their seats to throw at the scenery
during the screening of "ArgentineNights" It is not true that the Argentine
has no sense of humor, but it doesn't goquite so far as turning back the clock.

Book Reviews
What Other Beauty by Herbert Crombie
Howe, University of Oregon Press,
When I was given the privilege of writ-ing this brief review of "What Other
Beauty," it occurred to me at once that Ishould begin with some statement like,
"This book is the work of a scholar-poet."Through nearly fourteen years I had
known Professor Howe as scholar andteacher. I had admired the range of his
learning and the force and eloquence withwhich he expressed himself, and from sev-
eral generations of students I had learnedof his skill and power as a teacher. One
or two of my colleagues said that he hadwritten poems?very good ones. But that
was not for me to know for myself until,just a few days ago, I first held in my
hands the beautiful book of his poemsprinted by John Henry Nash.
And now, having read the volumethrough, I am willing to let that pre-judge-
ment stand: Herbert Crombie Howe is ascholar-poet. But how much more than that
he is! I should have known?at least, Ishould have guessed it. Years ago a chance
errand took me to his office in Villard Hall.Business over, we talked about fishing;
fishing off the rocks along the Oregoncoast. He told me of a time when, intent on
his line and lulled into unwatchfulness bythe rhythmic heave and fall of the water
below him, he failed to notice the oncomingof a heavy roller. A voice from the rocks
above called out a warning?I think hesaid it was the voice of his daughter Lucy.
He threw himself flat and gripped the rockwhile the great wave went over him.
"Weren't you scared to death?" I asked.He smiled quietly: "I guess I was. But
mostly I was thinking how friendly a rockcan feel to a man's fingers."
It is that "friendly" that makes thesepoems more than the work of a scholar-
poet. Spenser is here; the tranquil Words-worth; the austere Arnold Shelley; Brown-
ing and the others?for Herbert CrombieHowe knew and loved them all. They were
a part of the eyes with which he saw theworld. It is their life in him that I am
thinking of when I call him a scholar-poet.But there are the other things: the friendly
rock; the flowers he gathered "Dusty, orwet with dew" and filled his house with
them, setting them down in their disarraybecause "I wanted them just as they were;"
the lonely beach "Beyond a little campfire;"
the look in the eyes of a child; the wing-curve of a gull. This poet took the world
to his heart and warmed it there?all butthe crude things, the noisy things, the
honking car, the harsh city, the stuffy ball-
room. From these he turned away, but notbitterly:
I'm glad I have a ranch in the scrub
forest at the Oregon coast;
Horace hadn't anything on me with his
Sabine farm.The sky is a bowl of blue china, mottled
faintly with white,
The sea is so blue, it dances;Out in the brush is a bird that keeps singing
keeps singing "Thick trees here!
Thick trees here!"
All the birds are singing?
I'm going to write a poem!
I should like to write on at length, for
the poems in "What Other Beauty" are
the sort that stir one's truest feelings. There
Page 12
The good face of the earth still smiles in
my sightless eyes;
Still I see the swaying run through the
summer grain,
Still blue in the distance I see the moun-
tains rise,
Still I see the lilacs heavy with the rain;
Gulls are puffed and beaten about by the
gusty gale,Over the startling white surf of the storm-
dark sea;
I shall not need to let my spirit fail,Taking such sight into the dark with me.
My painful eyes run hot with scalding
tears,But in my heart is a sudden throb of pride;
I who had eyes, have used them all these
years,I who have seen, am not unsatisfied.

the clear voice of a man speaking the good-
ness of life through an art mature, manly,
sincere. In his vision there is no fear and
therefore he is both strong and gentle. On
his lips, even when the world grows dark
around him, there is no complaint. Let his
own words from "In A Darkened Cham-
ber," be for this present the last in our
ears:
STILL NUMBER ONE...
After the bombs, still number one, Dr.Erb declared last month as he revealed
that the Student Union is still tops on thelist of proposed buildings for after the
war. The campaign for such a buildingwhich started in the early 1920s appears
close to reality with this promise from thepresident. Many students in the past 20
years of University growth can no doubtremember their part in the work for this
building.
WAR PLUS GPAS...
War had nothing but a good effect onwinter term GPAS, according to figures re-
leased by the registrar's office last month.Despite unsettled conditions the all-Uni-
versity average took a sizeable jump for thegood, more students totaled 4.0 than ever
before, and men's and women's houses roseaccordingly. It was pleasant contrast to the
many bad and uncomfortable situations whichaccompany war.
