Thursday that a new procedure has been adopted pertaining to lost dormitory meal tickets. Beginning February 1, if a student loses his ticket, he may go to the dorm office and purchase a new one. If, however, he locates the ticket which was misplaced after he has already bought a new one, he may get a refund on the old ticket. No student will be al lowed a refund without showing the other ticket. Mrs. Turnipseed cited cases where a student claimed he had lost his ticket and thus purchased a second one, getting a refund on the first ticket. He had erased the name on the first ticket and anoth er student was using it. She said another instance had been found where a ticket had been torn in half and was being used. The dishonesty of the students, she said, is the basis for this ad ded precaution of having to show the first ticket before a refund will be made. She continued that she hopes it will serve as an in centive to keep close track of their ticket as it is worth $42 and should be treated as such. blue eyed coed says she loves her major, history, though she is not sure how to put it to practical use. Presently she is mentally mixing togas with cannons while studying history of ancient Rome and Eur ope since 1850. Her favorite, though, is French history. Martha has been through the south as well as Texas and Califor nia, but would like a further ac quaintance with the North anaj Oregon. The five foot two little colonel candidate is blonde, soft spoken and has a dimple in one cheek. Her first acquaintance with the military, she is looking forward to the ball, February 7. Truman Favors Aid Plan Action WASHINGTON, Jan. 29—(UP) —President Truman aligned him self beside Secretary of State George C. Marshall today in de manding that congress undertake his European recovery plan on an all-or-nothing basis. The president said congress would be pouring American money down a rathole if it approved any thing less than he requested, in cluding a 4 1/4 year aid commit ment and a $6,800,000,000 appro priation to carry the program through its first 15 months begin ning April 1. To reduce that spending—he called it an absolutely essential fig ure—would be to change the aid plan from a recovery program to an ineffective relief project, he told his press conference. The president’s voice shook an grily as he faced the newsmen and stated emphatically the same all or-nothing demand which Marshall put to congress earlier this month at the opening of legislative hear ings on the aid plan.

Judge Favors State Alcohol Ward By MICHAEL, CALLAHAN Does drunkenness, either tem porary or chronic, deserve special consideration in cases involving law enforcement? That is the central problem of “alcohol and law enforcement” as interpreted Wednesday night by Judge J. J. Quillen, municipal judge of Portland, in the fourth lecture of the current alcohol studies sc ries. This series, presenting a weekly lecturer, is conducted by the general extension division in room 106, Oregon hall. Conditions Involved In considering this question, Judge Quillen explained, courts must take into consideration three special conditions of drunkenness. These are, involuntary intoxica tion (through “spiked” drinks, much more common than is sus pected), intoxication which negates criminal actions, and alcoholic de lirium (D.T.’s). Each of these con ditions is given special considera tion in Oregon courts, he stated. “The law considers drunkenness a crime only because it is so desig nated by ordinances, not because it I is a crime in itself,” Judge Quillen declared. Blood Test Necessary Law enforcement in cases involv ing alcohol is further complicated by the difficulty of determining whether the defendant is actually drunk, according to Judge Quillen. Conditions resembling drunken ness may be induced by the use of tea, drugs, tobacco, or even by the numbing action of frost, and he said that such exceptions are not yet covered by Oregon law. The only sure test for drunkenness is the blood test, Judge Quillen stat ed, and even this is complicated by legal red tape. Certain states, notably Arizona, will admit the blood test as legal evidence in a case concerning alco holism. Other states will not, feel ing that a question of right of pri vacy is involved. Yet, Judge Quil len argued, a test which reveals) more than .05 per cent of alcohol ; in the blood is probably the only conclusive test of drunkenness. “At any rate,” Judge Quillen concluded, the Oregon penal insti tution has failed as a treatment for drunkenness. An intermediate hos pital or psychiatric ward would bet ter meet this state’s needs . . . education alone will provide the answer to preventing excesses such as alcoholism.”
