'Red'Action
Denied By
OSCHead
CORVALLIS, Feb. 23 (AP)-Dr.
A. L. Strand, Oregon State college
president, denied today that two
professors were dismissed because
of their activity in Henry A. Wal
lace’s progressive party.
Strand called a special meeting
of the factulty to explain the dis
missals of Dr. Ralph Spitzer, asso
ciate professor of chemistry, and L.
R. La Valle, assistant professor of
economics.
The two, who were on the tem
porary probation period and not yet
under permanent tenure, had
charged that their dismissals stem
med from Progressive party mem
bership.
That, Strand said, was not true.
But he charged that one of the
men — Spitzer — had followed the
Communist party line to the extent
that he supported an untenable
scientific thesis.
“Did someone mention academic
freedom?” Strand declared. “How
about freedom from party line
compulsion ? Any scientist who has
such poor power of discrimination
so as to choose to support Lysen
ko’s genetics against all the weight
of evidence against it, is not much
of a scientist, or has lost the free
dom that an instructor or investiga
tor should possess. The case is clos
ed' so far as I am concerned.’”
Strand declared that the genetic
theory of Lysenko was supported
by the Communist party in Russia,
but not by leading geneticists else
where.
He said Spitzer had supported
Lysenko in a letter to the Chemical
and Engineering News of January
31. “Taken by itself,” Strand told
the faculty, "Dr. Spitzer's letter in
behalf of a completely discredited
effort on the party of the Soviet
government to subjugate science to
its own political ends might be ex
cused as an unfortunate mistake in
judgment.
“But taken along with his pro
Soviet propaganda, the letter shows
up in its true light and its import
cannot be overlooked.”
Red Cross
Drive Features
Fire Program
Eugene Fire Chief E. L. Surfus
will speak tonight at 7 at a fire
prevention program in room 207
Chapman hall. The program, ar
ranged by campus disaster chair
man Bob Buchanan to focus atten
tion on the Red Cross drive which
starts Monday, will include a film
“Disaster Strikes.”
Surfus will point out the various
causes, results, and prevention of
fires. Since four living organiza
tions, Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Kap
pa Alpha, Alpha Omicron Pi, and
Phi Kappa Psi have recently had
fires, Buchanan feels that the pro
gram will be helpful and informa
tive to students.
Each house Red Cross represen
tative is requested by Buchanan to
attend the meeting and bring one
other representative from his liv
ing group. Anyone interested may
attend the program.
The fire prevention program has
met the approval of administrative
officials. Golda Wickham, director
of women’s affairs, stated, “It is
most important that information
regarding the dangers of fires and
their prevention be presented to
the University students, in order
that they might better be prepared
to protect and preserve their prop
erty as well as their lives.’’
Donald DuShane, director of stu
dent affairs, was pleased with the
program and believes it is one more
step to add to countless other ways
in which the Red Cross is assist
ing campus people.
Mrs. Paul G. Means, campus Red
Cross adviser, said she was espe
cially glad to see such a program
fulfilled on the campus.

Abreast of the Times —
BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 23 —
(AP)—A dozen sorority houses at
the University of California learn
ed to their consternation today the
true identity of Mary Lou Ullrich.
"She” is Walter Robert Ullrich, a
20-year old junior from San Diego.
Ullrich wanted to find' out how
the better half lived so he posed as
Mary Lou during rush week on so
rority row.
With the help of French heels, a
borrowed newf look dress, a head
scarf—and strategically situation
paddings—Ullrich counted these
souvenirs of his foray into no man’s
land:
Seven return invitations to soror
ities.
Fourteen cups of tea and a dozen,
tiny sandwiches.
The telephone numbers of 27 co
eds and one housemother.
His tensest moment, he told fra
ternity brothers at the Kappa Al
pha house, came when a house mo
ther took him by the arm and vital
equipment came adrift.
“I looked lopsided but everybody
was too polite to say anything.”
ISA Senate Meets
There will be an ISA senate
meeting today at 6:45 p.m. at room
105, Commerce building.
