Chinese Regiment
Slows UN Advance
Compiled by John Barton
From the Wires of Associated Press
Communist China may be intervening in the Korean war. Re
ports from the front that a full Chinese Red regiment is fighting
with North Korean forces indicate this. At any rate, the Korean
war today is not going as well as it has for United Nations forces.
Two Red Divisions... „ .
reportedly including Chinese Commies, are driving toward the Ko
rean east coast city of Hamhung, former chemical center. At last report
yesterday they were about 30 miles from the city and driving hard.
About 10.000 men are in the Red force. Just how many are Chinese is
still a question.
South Koreans Being Trapped. . .
... is a strong possibility today. The Red attack (being caked a coun
ter-attack) is smashing through the flank of the South Korean 26th regi
ment United States tanks and mobile artillery are rushing to iielp ROK
forces stave off the onrushing Reds. All South Korean forces today are
either fighting at a standstill or retreating, some in confusion after heavy
losses Those ROK forces which dashed so close to the Manchurian border
last week may be trapped by the Reds if the latters’ attack isn't stopped
quickly.
No Report About Red Chinese... .. . .
fighting with Communists in organized force (not as individuals)
has been received by the defense department in Washington. Department
spokesmen noted, however, that army dispatches from the field are often
hours behind press reports, so confirmation of Chinese intervention in
the war may be forthcoming. What it will mean in Korea, and on the
floor of the U.N. assembly, is anyone's guess.
' is going full blast today. Nationalist insurgents have attacked the
governor's palace and police stations in various towns throughout the
little United States island territory. Reason: they want the U.S. to get
°lDeath counts up to last night reached about 23, counting police and
dead nationalists. Government officials in San Juan, the capital, say
there is no Communist influence in the revolt.
Government police say they have crushed the rebellion. The organized
uprising is aimed at embarassing the administration of Governor Luis
Munoz Marin. This administration is pledged to keep the island as a
possession of the United States. The Nationalists want complete inde
pendence.
Another Beating for Russia... . .

to "send the problem of getting a new secretary general to the general as

lies around present secretary Trygve Lie, whom the U.S. and other pow
ers want re-elected in February. Russia wants a new man.
And to show lie isn’t kidding, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vish
inslcy says that the “Soviet Union will have no truck with” Lie if the
general assembly extends his term when it expires in February. Russia
will not recognize Lie if he is elected legally.
The Russ Were Also Beaten...

about it. Further Communist victories or gains in Indochina, they feel,
will cause more Red terrorism in Malaya. And Malaya, of course, would

support the theory that Russia is ready to enter an armed conflict. Shin

clerk of the House of Representatives. The reports must be made, ac

than the organizations took in. Oregon’s Senator Wayne Morse was allo

Students Favor
Homecoming
Traditions
By Larry Hobart
What do you think about the tra
ditions instituted during Home
coming Week ?
Faced with the possibility of be
ing either paddled or dunked, stu
dents who were asked this question
not too surprisingly voiced approv
al of the traditions to be enforced
during Homecoming Week. The
major portion of the students ques
tioned favored the restrictions im
posed on the student body for the
week-long festivities and hailed
them as a means of promoting Ore
gon spirit.
A1 Packer—freshman in preden—
tistry “I don’t mind wearing a root
er’s lid as long as it rains.”
Dick Lynch—junior in economics
“I think that it’s a lot of foolish
ness. It’s OK for kids just out of
high school, but not for upperclass
men.”
Sue Korkrey—freshman in inter
ior design— “Keeping traditions is
a part of college life, and I’d sure
hate to be dunked.”
Nicky Haralu—graduate student
in psychology—“I’m a foreign stu
dent from India and new to the
campus. We don’t have anything
like this at home. I’d like to see the
traditions working before I say any
thing.”
science—“I don’t they’re all right.
Bay Conion—senior in political
Traditions make college something
more than cold books and class
rooms.”
Sally Thurston—freshman in PE
—"Green hair ribbons don’t look
too sharp on me. Actually I think
it’s a fine policy because it builds
up freshman spirit.”
Jim Bobson—sophomore in ar
chitecture—“I think the “Hello
Walk” idea is good. I don’t like to
wear cords anyway.”
Barbara Callender—freshman'in
interior design—“I think that they
are a lot of fun. Everyone should
follow them. They give variety to
campus life.”
Bud Barber—sophomore in busi
ness administration—“The tradi
tions are good. They help promote
class spirit and co-operation which
is greatly lacking at the present
time. These traditions should defi
nitely be enforced among both
Greeks and Independents.”
Richard ..Laing—graduate stu
dent in general studies—“What jus
tification do homecoming tradi
tions have ? Someone show me how
paddling or being dunked inspires
a great spirit for the Alma Mater
and I’ll concede the point.”

Permanent Activity File
To Benefit UO Students
By Walt Graydon
With the coming of summer,
there’s a good chance that draft
boards will move in and snatch
many fine, upstanding young stu
dents.
Suppose that Fred Frighter is
one of them. Of course you don’t
know him, but he’s Just an aver
age fellow.
Fred’s always got his eye open
tor a good deal, so he applies for
Officers Candidate School. But
alas, there are hundreds of others
Just like him.
Be comes before the board of
examiners. They look at his U. of
O. transcript. Average grades,
English major—not much to go on
there. But, What’S this? Attached
to his transcript they find as part
tions by the campus honoraries.
of his record his permanent acti
vity file. He was chairman of
many committees, president of
half a dozen other things, high
school leader.
He doesn’t have to make any
claims about his leadership ex
perience, he has the proof! Fred’s
on his way to O. C. S.
This was made possible because
the activity file was put into ef
fect at the U. of O. shortly after
Homecoming in 1950. The idea and
the plans were a product of the
Executive Council, and here’s how
they worked:
A two-page questionnaire was
US Civil Service
Announces Exam
The United States Civil Ser
vice Commission announced today
an examination for Commodity
Industry Analyst in minerals.
To qualify, applicants must have
had from 314 to 6 years of exper
ience of a technical, scientific, or
administrative character in one or
more of the following fields of
work:
Ceramics, coal, iron and steel,
mineral resources (foreign), min
erals (general), nonferrous metals,
nonmetallic minerals, and petro
leum and natural gas.
Full information and applica
tion forms may be secured from
the Commission’s local secretary
located at the Postal Savings win
dow at the Eugene Post Office or
from the U. S. Civil Service Com
mission, Washington 25, D. C.
distributed to all living organiza
, Everyone interested in activities
filled one out. This became the
permanent file in the ASUO office.
The next petition was of the
conventional type that required a
complete list of activities. Thi3
was added to the file and kept up
to date. AH petitions after that
only required your name and sug
gestions. Chairmen had all of this
complete information to ponder
over when they picked a commit
tee. They knew who they were
chosing and all about him.
This file was part of your of
ficial record. It’s not only valuable
for military recommendation, but
job appointments as well.
Incidentally, Homecoming for
1950 has not yet passed. Don’t
forget to fill out your permanent
file when the material arrives. It
should be distributed in about two
weeks.
