Legal Eagles Win (Continued from page four) game which Hallaters won 14-to-ll *$vith a last period stall. The Vets’ dorm team took an op ening lead, but were overhauled at 6-all. Then the Phi Psi held the ad vantage until the final frame when a. determined thrust by the Hallmen gave them the decisive edge. Final game of the afternoon was Pi Kappa Alpha's 20-to-16 victory over the stubborn Merrick hall team. The Pi Kapps unleashed a final quarter drive to tuck away the win after trailing most of the game. Loren Miller was high for the vic tors with ten.

By A1 Pietschman For the first time since we can remember Oregon students get a chance to see a far-eastern basket ball team show its wares in Mac court. For many years sports fans in the Northwest have read and heard about the LIU five and how potent they have been. So now we get a chance to see them in action. If we walk across a street when the light is red it is just because rwe are kinda blinded by colors. The gals are really showing us some beautiful hrgyles. So far we have seen the socks at the ADiPi, Alpha Xi and Kappa houses, and they show real class. A typographical error in Tues day’s column said the "Chester field-Argyle contest closed Febru ary 8. T’aint so. Closes on the fifth, but not with a fifth. If your house has any aspirants let us know. We’d prefer looking at all the sock in house at once, saves us back-tracking across the campus many a time. Jordis Benke has found a new method to cure colds. It is an ef fective one, although she admits that she hasn’t tried the complete treatment. Is it a “Treat instead of a Treatment” Jordy? There’s a big power shortage on but a little bird tells us the Chi Os leave the lights on in their rooms while they eat dinner. For shame! Someone fine them for leaving those lights on—shades up too. We saw it with our own eyes Wednes day night. When stumped as to what to give for a wedding gift, remember that at Carl Greve, Jeweler, Portland, you can find gifts that will be ap preciated. We understand that Collier’s will soon run some sporting ads, one an article by The Oregonian’s famous baseball writer, L. H. Gregory. It is a part of an advertising cam paign by Wilson sporting goods and Greg is one of the columnists cho sen to write an article. From Our Mailbag (Continued from page six) out protest by the conservative majority of this country. Protecting the prerogatives of Emperor Hirohito and of the feu dal nobility provides the best means of democratizing Japan. Removing two editors of “Pacific Stars and Stripes” from their po sitions three years ago in Tokyo for challenging the old Japanese military regime and refusing to incite war hysteria against the Soviet Union shows diplomatic and journalistic acumen. All these tales, and other demo cratic marvels too, such as the undistorted American monopoly press, the reader finds or deduces from Kane’s enlightening contri bution to Oregon political thought. But restoration of Japanese military power is only the first step consistent with Kane’s po litical philosophy. Let’s go a step farther. Biology and anthropology have scientifically demolished all claims of racial superiority or ac cusations of inferiority. Now imagine Kane, who we presume has had the courage to take a science course or two and has buried within himself somewhere the facts of race, in a southern town. A murder occurs. The conservative majority de clares “niggers” are naturally mean and murderers. By his own political tenets, Kane must agree with them. Then the conservative majority dmands lynch “justice.” We can visualize Kane nodding his ap proval. “You Southern Democrats are a conservative majority,” he shouts. “Get that black dogma bound boy strung up from a limb, you all.” Next we may feel sure that Kane is only a column or two from denouncing the American revolution. You see, historians as sure us that only a one-third mi nority of colonists held and fought for the dogma of indepen dence. Such a situation is irrec oncilable with Kane’s deference to the conservative majority. If Kane would but put his acute powers of observation and politi cal analysis to full use, he could see how the religious and political purity of Oregon students are menaced by far more than a so cialist professor or two. In fact, Kane has flopped as a self-appointed un-American ac tivities committee of one. Why'has he failed to launch a valiant attack against Catholic, Republican, and vegetarian fac ulty members ? After all, those belonging to such groups are to day in a minority in America. Only minorities adhere to dogma, according to Kane’s reasoning, and only majorities are dogma free. Catholic, Republican, and vege tarian instructors have no right to hide their bad dogmas (all dog mas are bad—Kane), and surrep titiously teach them, behind the cloak of academic freedom. Go these instructors must from the green sward of Oregon. And Kane is the man to make them go. Besides, think of the no toriety and job prospects attached to redeeming his name as num ber one watchdog. The thing Kane must do to ar range for the exit of these minor ities, now that he has been made aware of them, is to raise the ire of the Protestant, Democratic, and meat-eating conservative majority, if not here then out of state. Once the majority are aroused to their democratic duty, the mi nority can be made to feel so small that “they don't dare to show their colors because of the conservative majority’s probable retaliation,” as Kane so neatly phrases it. The silence of the in timidated is, in effect, indistin guishable from their expulsion. Now, this act of Kane's farce appears to have been lifted from Hitler’s “Mein Kampf," a respec table historical document these days, to be sure. For your information, Mr. Kane, and any of the conserva tive majority who may applaud your philosophizings, I am a member of the Progressive par ty. I am proud to sail under those colors. And, if the columns of the Emerald and the forums on cam pus were fully available to me to declare myself, you would be the first to decry me as a sub versive driven into the open. So I take this opportunity to announce to you, Mr. Kane, and the conservative majority of which you pretend to be the spokesman, I am a Progressive and await your retaliation with much more interest than alarm.
