Campus Visited by Noted Alum;
Sees Changes But Spirit Same
By Herb Penny
One of Oregon’s most noted
alums, Dr. Claude E. Robinson,
visiting the campus Friday, re
__ fleeted on other Webfoots and re
marked, “There’s something about
the Oregon spirit, from the oldest
graduate down to the latest fresh
nian, that's inspiring.’’
U of O folks seem to keep up
their contacts with the campus
more than any other group of
alumnae I know,’’ the former
ASUO president went on.
Fir Trees
Then, comparing the campus
with the one he knew in 1924, Dr.
Robinson, who is now president of
Public Opinion Research Inc. in
New York City, beamed. “The
new buildings are certainly gor
geous and the campus has grown
with marvelous taste. But the thing
that still impresses me is the
beauty of the fir trees.”
Dr. Robinson was president of
the student body just after John
MacGregor, student union spark
plug, began the drive for a campus
assembly building. At that time
"they worked together on the cam
paign that is still continuing.
Veterans
Through his work in public
opinion, in which he has worked
with Dr. George Gallop before he
began his own agency, Dr. Robin
son has been able to tell how the
returning veteran is adjusting to
civilian life. “We thought at first
that their adjustment back to in
dustry would be difficult,” he re
marked, “but the problem has
largely taken care of itself.

‘'Now there is a remarkable op
portunity for veterans to get an
education. In many fields a college
is a first requisite- for advance
ment.”
Dr. Robinson has also made sur
veys on the housing problem which
he says, “May be bad here but
you ought to see it in New York.
The building curve turned down
some time ago and is not yet be
ginning to rise sufficiently to make
an appreciable difference. I've
tried to get places for others in
New York so I know how it is.”

CLASSICAL BALLET
(Continued from page one)
in “Pair at Sorochinsk.” His in
terpretation of the role of the lover
Albrecht in “Giselle” is recognized
as one of the great performances
in ballet.
Classical Ballet
Mr. Dolin has written an article
titled, “Classic Ballet in America.”
In it he has stated: “Two forms
of the classic dance can be pre
sented today: one that requires a
large company, a full corps de
Ballet, and a symphony orchestra
to set it in motion. The other is
a highly special and skilled troupe
of stars and soloists, compactly
packaged, yet still presenting the
great dance classics in pure and
unchanged form.
The gerat adagios and variations
from the “Nutcracker,” the lovely
dances from “Les Sylphides,” my
recreation of the famous “Pas de
Quatre,” do not need anything but
great dancing to show them in
their full beauty. It is this that
the Markova-Dolin Ensemble on its
first tour of America, without im
modest assumptions, propose to
do.”
Program
The ensemble will present among
other numbers the “Suite de
Danse” by Frederic Chopin Mon

INDEPENDENT
(Continued from baae one)
objections submitted by the ISA
Senators at their meeting Wed
nesday night as follows:
1. In answer to the objection that
there would be little method of
placing responsibility except under
the present class representation:
“We will elect a student to repre
sent the house he lives in, which
is the democratic way of doing it.
Harris Ellsworth is elected from
the 4th congressional district of
Oregon to represent that district
and not some other part of the
state in the U. S. Congress. Each
student congressman will repre
sent a smaller group of people
than under the old system and
thereby the congress will have a
clear idea of campus opinion.’’
2. The veterans pointed out
that representation would not
be on just a Greek-Independent
basis as the constitution allows
the admittance of any or
ganization consisting of at
least 26 members, recognized
and approved by the executive
council. This would include
service organizations and
social groups.
3. Answering the objection that
too much power would be vested
in the popular elected ASUO stu
dent body officers, the veterans
quoted from Article 5, Section 0,
of the proposed constitution: “The
University Congress shall deter
mine the policies that shall guide
the actions of the executive
branch.”
4. Referring to the so-called am
biguous phrasing of the constitu
tion, the veterans said that the
spirit of the new constitution and
its phrasing as a whole outweigh
the trivial fallacies in it. It is
much better written and less am
biguous than the present constitu
tion, they added.
A1 Cutler said in conclusion,
“If the Greeks and Indepen
dents can work together in
drawing up the constitution,
they can stay together and see
that the constitution works.”
Representatives from the follow
ing groups were present to pre
sent their views: Trailerville, lo
cated at 15th and Agate; Skinners
Butte Villa, married veterans liv
ing in Eugene, single students liv
ing in Eugene, and Northwest
Christian College who also attend
the University. The campus inde
pendent living organizations that
were represented are, Susan
Campbell hall, Highland house,
house, University house, Rebec
Zeta hall, Hilyard house, Judson
house, Yeomen, and Campbell club.
