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.

Sweetland Hits
Administration.
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.
ISA Election Held

ly elected Betty Brown to the po
sition of Secretary for the ensuing

“There are only seven public
utilities districts in Oregon,” he
stated, “five of them in operation.
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.
