Power Politics Definition Prompts Student Questionnaire What is power politics? A discussion in C. P. Schleicher’s 9:00 World Politics class last week led the political science professor to believe that, although many people use the term, few have any clear conception of its meaning when asked for a definition. Dr. Schleicher didn’t stop there; he went to faculty members for their definitions and found similar confusion among the ranks of his colleagues. So the professor went to work, made out a questionnaire and had 300 copies mimeographed to hand out to his students. Through this quiz he hopes to come out with some sort of at conception of what people think power politics really means, or confirms his observation that few of those who use the term really know what they are trying to express. The questionnaire, which is not to be signed, asks, the student’s year in school and major, and two general and twelve specific ques tions: Which of the following state ments do you regard as correct? 1. All politics is power politics. 2. There are both power politics and non-power politics. Assuming that there are two kinds of politics, what would you indicate as distinctive character istics and examples of each, and similar characteristics and exam ples of both: Economic induce ment, economic threats or pres sure, domestic politics, interna tional politics, the threat or use of physical force, strikes and lock outs, appeal to reason to influence action, use of symbols, armaments race, contest for the Presidency, U. S.-British relationship, U. S.-U.S. S.R. relations.

At Demo Meet Every major social proposal that the federal government has made to the State of Oregon, the state administration has “bull headedly’’ opposed, said Monroe Sweetland, Democratic national committeeman from Oregon, Wed nesday. “Rent control, OPA, CVA, and health insurance have all faced this bull headed opposition,” he said, “despite the great interest of the government to develop Ore gon’s rescources.” i Speaking before the Campus Young Democrats, assembled in Gerlinger Alumni Hall, Sweetland lashed out against the state’s lack of interest in caring for the aged and the young. t CHILDREN HELPLESS “The old people do not get enough money to live on and pay their doctor bills,” he said, “but they can at least get together and do something about it; the child ren can’t. When the State Tuber culosis Hospital ran low on funds, a cut was deemed necessary. To day there is no children’s ward in that hospital.” Sweetland also stated that the private power interests, working in conjunction with a very cooper ative state administration, had blocked all attempts to provide cheap public power to the people.

The cheap power is there but the power lobby won’t let us have it. This retards the development of in dustry because of the cheaper power available in Washington. THE DALLES' ISSUE “In The Dalles, the people voted for public power and have been in a continual legal battle with the Pacific Power and Light Co. ever since. The PP&L asked for—and received—from the Hydroelectric Power Commission, the right to lower its rates to compete with the public power groups and force them out of business. By lowering the rates for The Dalles and rais ing the rates for Astoria, public power has been defeated in the Dalles.” We are not to be written off as hopeless and unregenerate, he stated, The Republican administra tion in Oregon is “rotten ripe” to be ousted and the Democrats have a very good chance to do just that in 1950.
