No Dictatorship Plot Seen In Supreme Court Change, Says Oregon History Head By BILL PENGRA “I have been wondering when you would start presenting the other side of the present court issue, and quit showing the opinions of those who look at this question from a legal side only,” stated Professor' R. C. Clark, head of the history department, when interviewed yester day. “To begin with, there is nothing to all this talk about the United State supreme court being the last bulwark against the possibility of a dictatorship being established here. We will not have such a con ciition in tnis nauon umess me people demand it, and to think that Roosevelt is trying to establish a personal government is not true. As far as that goes, Lincoln was a dictator under the conditions of the civil war. It was necessary for him to have complete control of every branch of the federal govern ment in that crisis.” Change Justified “And this is just such a crisis, this condition our nation has fallen into. If this were war, there would be no complaint against such changes in the control of the court.” Professor Clark then pointed out that “packing the court” is noth ing new, but has been done several times in the past. It was done by Washington, who appointed five federalists of sound politics to strength the weak opinion of the constitution. During Jefferson’s time, the court was packed with fifty new members, who were soon removed.

Webfoots Bigger Definitely holding a size advant age over the well-balanced Wash ington outfit. Oregon's Ducks, ac cording to Coach Hobson, should hold an edge on offensive play. The veteran Washington team, however, carries an edge in ex perience, having four seniors on the starting quintet to four sopho mores who might open Friday’s game for Oregon. Three of Coach Hobson’s sopho more stars are practically certain to start the Washington games, and the fourth, Laddie Gale, be cause of his recent spectacular rise, is a cinch to see action at a forward post. Captain Johnny Lewis, one ot Oregon's three graduating seniors, at one forward post will head Hob boy’s Duck warriors in their title quest.

Yes, freshmen, you may as well know the truth, during next term if each man began to march where the man before him stopped, the line would not quite be back home on its third round ti'ip to New York when the term ended.

Here are the facts for • those who doubt: each of the unit’s 613 men will march twice a week, they will actually march about twenty minutes each drill period; they take 128, thirty inch steps; there are 12 weeks in a term, each individual walks just short of thirty miles per term.
