By GEORGE LUOMA
At a five and one-half minute
emergency meeting called Wednes
day afternoon by law school stu
dent body president, Harry A.
Skerry, Jr., law school students
unanimously “directed” their fresh
man colleague, Eugene “Chic'’
Cecchini, to enter King of Hearts
competition now current on the
Oergon campus.
The directive, however, expressed
i the condition that the law school
candidate be referred to as “Em

I should be distinguished from or
dinary qualifications requisite for
I candidates in the heart throb con
test.
In extending Mr. Cecchini a vote
of confidence and sympathy, his
fellow students paid particular

Liberal Trends
Of Past Told
Personal liberty, equality of op
portunity, anti the necessary ma
chinery to bring public opinion to
bear upon self government are tiro
three elements involved in political
professor emeritus of history and
education, said at the University
liberalism, Dr. Henry D. Sheldon,
lecture Thursday night.
Tracing the history of western
Europe, lie showed how liberalism
was apparent in the countries of
western Europe until Hitler began
to take over. Totalitarian policies,
which paralize liberalism, came in
as a result of humiliation.
The future of liberalism, said Dr.
Sheldon, will depend upon the fre
quency and severity of war. and
I the opportunities for economic
equalities among the different,
countries. The prospect is not
bright in Europe, particularly in
Germany and Italy, but the profes
sor thinks Russia, China, and Bra
zil have chances for its develop
ment.
If the allies win the war, liber ;\l
istic policies will prevail, Dr. She 1
don predicted, , but should the to
talitarian powers win, all libera 1
istic tendencies will cease.
John Locke was the first to de
velop the theory of liberalism, he
explained. Beneath the carrying
out of the liberalistic policy are
the elements of Christianity anti
science. Christianity represents the
ethical side; and science, the in
! tellectual side, the belief that man.
has the intelligence to carry out
liberalistic ideas, and to solve the
I problems of the universe, Dr. Shel
don said.
