Long-Standing Journalism Feud
Slated For Diamond Renewal
By WILD BILL STRATTON
Diamond dust will fly on the intramural softball field Sat
urday morning when the cream of the fourth estate. Oregon’s
chapter of Sigma Delta Chi. clashes with the local huckster
chapter, Alpha Delta Sigma.
I he ad men will top ott" Saturday’s festivities bv honoring
their feminine counterpart. Gamma Alpha Chi, at a picnic in
the afternoon at some undisclosed spot.
Jonathan Kahananui, who established himself as the grand
potentate or the open barbeque pit
at the Emerald brawl recently,
will prepare steaks for the SDX
ers at their annual picnic Sunday.
All SDX members and pledges
intending to come to the outing
are urged to contact Bill Stratton
at the Shack before Thursday to
lay the cash on the barrelhead.
The price has been set at a buck a
head, and dates are optional.
Reports from both mushball
camps indicate that the fourth
estaters will be odd's-on favorites
over the hucksters Saturday.
SDX is potent at the plate and
any number of touted chuckers are
ready for duty. T. G. Wright, who
has received amazing support from
the outfield in intramural play this
season, will get the starting nod
for SDX if he pays his dues. Roy
P. Nelson, who works out daily in
the Oregana office, has whipped
his glass arm into shape and will

relieve the aging Wright if the
occasion arises.
Art Litchman, who actually
makes a living in the newspaper
game, has been tentatively select
ed as player-coach-manager, and a
workout is slated for Thursday
afternoon at 2 o’clock on the IM
diamond. Litchman said he is look
ing for outfielders who can throw
the ball to home plate.
Information channels have been
blocked in the ADS camp, but it
was learned yesterday that a
former triple D league chucker,
Woody Carson, will try to keep
the ad soliciters in the ball game
for a few innings. The ad siders
are playing hop scotch daily to get
into shape and have issued a set
of jacks to each member in a vain
effort to develop coordination.

Telling the Editor
(Continued from f’aoe two)
that has caused the vise in prices;
they have been the dependent var
iable that has been so affected by
this rise that they now ask for a
reevaluation of what is stated as
their due.
I make no suggestions as to what
the veteran is actually entitled. The
! text of the G. I. Bill has already de
fined that. It is most repulsive to me
to read that like a beggar the vet
eran has come to such a point that
he does not even appreciate the gov
ernment’s generosity. The G. I. Bill
was not presented as charity; but
as an aid to necessary readjust
ment; and the veteran accepts it in
that light.
Social Conscious
It was gratifying to find that the
authors of the letter opposed to
raising veteran subsistence allow
ance were so concerned with the
problem of the physically handi
capped. We agree on the one point
that something should be done for
them. This is a manifestation of
the fact that as citizens we veter
ans have become quite social con

scions. With the purpose of the gov
ernment to administer to the needs
of the people, it is obvious that we
who recognize the needs will be as
sets in the future of that govern
ment. Hence the investment in us
that the G. I. Bill represents might
be construed as a profitable one for
the government.
One does not borrow from one to
pay another. The problems of the
adequacy of veteran subsistence,
and pensions for the physically
handicapped are both existent; and
both require solution.
How greedy are the veterans?
They are as greedy as it is their in
dividual natures to be greedy, and
this is true of people the world over.
But there are still a few among j
them who read the quotation above
the Libe door, “Ye shall know the
truth,” and they smile understand- j
ingly at their greed. It is a greed j
for knowledge; quite an innocent)
greed.
Thank you!
