Campus Chest Drive
Has 'Long Way to Go';
Only 3 Days Remain
Thirty-seven per cent of the $4,000 campus Community Chest
quota has been filled, according to figures released by N. H.
Cornish, professor of business administration and chairman of
the Community Chest faculty, drive.
“The figures, based on Thursday noon totals, indicate that we
have a long way to go,’’ Cornish said. "We are all going to have
to work hard and give more generously if we are to meet our
quota.” -
$30 Collected
Mike Lally, off-campus Com
munity Chest chairman, report
ed that $30 had been collected
so far.
Solicitors are making use of the
Community Chest pledge plan
which allows contributors to pay
their donation at a later date.
Plans are being made to make
appeals in the Amazon Flats area
Monday and Tuesday evenings.
Lillian Schott, chairman of cam
pus booths, said that $35 has been
turned into booths located in the
SU and the Co-op.
KKG Leads Women
Kappa Kappa Gamma leads
women’s houses in Community
Chest contributions with $38 do
nated. Totals for men’s living or
ganizations have not yet been com
puted.
Each house representative is re
quested by Georgie Oberteuffer,
campus chairman, to contact each
member of his living group indi
vidually.
“We would like everyone to
give to this worthy cause,” she
stated. “The Community Chest
provides many fine services and
it should be supported by the en
tire campus.”
Only 3 Days More
This week the drive goes into
its final three days. Miss Ober
teuffer made this statement:
“Since contributions presently
are lagging, we will attempt to
stage the big push this week. Flying
speech "groups are visiting the
houses; we hope that house mem
bers will give generously. The
immunity Chest not only is
worthwhile, it also is much easier
to contribute once to one solicitor
instead of 29 separate ones.”
This year the Community Chest
includes organizations for cripples,
delinquents, family problems and
. welfare, financial aid, orphans,
foundlings, and the unemployed.
Welles to Speak
Here Thursday
Many years experience in foreign
relations will background the ad
dress of Sumner Welles, former un
der secretary of state, who speaks
at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in McArthur
Court.
The subject of Welles’ speech will
be “The United States in World Af
fairs.” His speech is under the aus
pices of the Assembly Committee.
Recognized as a foremost author
ity in American foreign policy, Wel
les was under secretary of state
from 1937 until his resignation in
1943. With Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, Welles played a promi
nent part in the critical world situa
tion beginning with the Japanese in
vasion of China in 1937 through all
the early part of World War II, re
signing from his state department
position in 1943, a little more than a
year before Hull himself resigned.
Welles has served in the state de
partment- in various capacities
since 1915 when he was named sec

Chinese Reply Said
World War III Key
TOKYO—(AP)—Sources close to General Douglas MacAr
thur said Monday the start of World War III may very well
hinge on the Chinese reply to MacArthur’s assertion that “alien
Communists” have entered the war in Korea.
Everything depends ’ on the Chinese reaction to MacArthur’s
special communique, these sources said.
They said they expected the answer would be delivered either
in ci luimai statement—or by
the dispatch of more divisions.
As far as Korea itself is con
cerned, as of now, headquarters
was calm today and confident
about the military position. The
military potential of the Chinese
armies in Manchuria is well
known. So is the movement of the
other forces in China proper.
300,000 Available
Immediately available* in Man
churia are about 300,000 trained
troops—veterans of the Chinese
Civil War.
They are the 55th, 56th, 57th,
66th, 67th and 40th army g'roups.
In addition there are two cavalry
divisions, an artillery division and
one army infantry group not yet
identified.
These are elite units.
And Another 300,000
In addition, another 300,000 men
are available and are believed to
be either in Manchuria or North
China.
The whole force is under the
command of General Lin Piao, one
of the most successful commanders

Arthur’s statement on Chinese
intervention in North Korea will

in the Communist victory over the
Chinese Nationalists.
The Chinese Reds thus have the
potentiality of vastly outnumber
ing the present United Nations
forces in Korea—if they intend to
commit the entire force.
Militarily, the situation probab
ly would become a greatly expand
ed version of the first days of the
Korean war.
Possible Retreat
That is, there would be a slow,
fighting U. N. retreat back down
the peninsula, brought about main
ly by flanking and encirclement
made possible by numerically su
perior Communist forces.
Such action on the part of the
Chinese Reds could touch off the
big war.
This apparently is what Mac
Arthur meant by the sentence
“whether and to what extent these
reserves will be moved forward to
reinforce units now committed re
main to be seen and is a matter
of the gravest international signi
ficance.”
The key word is “international.”
Whether the Communist world
is prepared to take this colossal
step is a secret, most probably

Faculty Views
Recent Commie
Move in Korea
Possible outcomes of the Chinese
Communist intervention in the Ko
rean situation are still a matter
of pure speculation, according to
members of the University faculty
interviewed by the Emerald Sun
day.
The most favorable light in
which the intervention can be
viewed, is that Chinese Commies
have only limited objectives, C. P.
Schleicher, professor of political
science, commented.
Three Possibilities
He stated that among these
limited objectives, are three main
possibilities:
1. Protection of the Yalu river
dams, which provide power for
Communist Manchuria as well ao
North Korea.
2. Attempt to prevent the Unit
ed States from giving aid to
French Indo-China, by concentrat
ing efforts in Korea.
3. A continued sapping of Unit
ed States resources, to prevent the
building of a stronghold in West
ern Europe to combat Communism.
war toast Favorable
The least favorable light of
speculation Is an international ex
plosion into World War III—-a full
scale shooting- war between the
United States and China.
Suoh a war would be a bleed
ing operation on United States
manpower and resources, accord
ing to Paul S. Dull, professor of
political science and history.
“If the war is caused by the
basic conflict between the United
States and Russia, the United
States would be plunged into a
struggle with 450 million people,
without getting to the source of
the problem,” Dull continued.
What Russia Wants
“Such a situation would be ex
actly what Russia wants now,” he
explained.
“Wc can’t afford a shooting war
with China,” Schleicher stated.

Unusual Events Highlight 1950 Homecoming
By Pat Dignan
The biggest highlight of Home
coming was probably not the foot
ball game, nor the Homecoming
contests, but some of the many
happenings on campus which are
not generally publicized.
For instance, all Pi Phi’s will
gladly tell about the pranksters
who changed the lettering on their
sign; and students and freshmen
especially remember the visiting
Beaver who did not like his orange
coat. Freshmen were glad to ex
change it for a bright green and
yellow one.
^. Unusual Homecoming
' These and many more events
■ made this years Homecoming one
of the most unusual and successful
Homecomings that Oregon has
seen.
An unexpected gathering place
of the Homecoming crowd turned
out to be the Fiji parking lot. The
bonfire, variety show, and rally,
which was held in the lot, drew a
crowd that overflowed the area
and spread from Kincaid to Alder
Sts.
The crowd remained consistant
at this location, as the noise parade
was routed down Adler Street.
Throngs of people were located in
the area for the parade. The Stu
dent Union was the only other
place along the route where a
crowd could gather.
Button Sales Successful
This year’s button sales com
pletely exceeded expectations. Stu
dents will remember that in the
past sales of buttons were not too
successful.
This year the finance committee
sold five thousand buttons. Pro
fits from the sales were near one
hundred percent as the only ex
pense incurred was the cost of the
buttons. To be commended for this
fine showing is the finance com
mittee, along with members of the
honoraries wfio assisted in the
sales.
Another Homecoming crowd
gatherer was living organization
signs. The Pi Kappa Alpha movie
had a consistent crowd Friday
evening. Although it did not win
any prizes, people were consist
ently admiring the work of the Pi
Kaps.
Sig Ep Sign Remains
One of the few signs that with
stood the weekend and remained
for Sunday visitors was the win
ning Sigma Phi Epsilon sign. This
one and a few others gave Sun
day drivers a last look at Ore
gon's 1950 Homecoming.
The winning sign for the wom
en’s division was unique in its
makeup. It displayed a duck hit
ting a cougar over the head with
a huge circus mallet, the kind used
to “ring the bell’’ at the circus.
As the mallet hit the cougar’s
head, a series of lights would blink
in an ascending fashion until they
reached the top where a huge sign
“Union 1950’’ would be illuminated
by blinking lights.
Original Idea
Sigma Phi Epsilon's sign, win
ner in the men’s division, was ori
ginal in its adherence to the Home
coming central theme. It showed
a train chasing a cougar with a
chain around its neck connecting
the two. Along the railroad tracks
were such billboard signs as “When
in Eugene, visit the Erb Memorial
Union.”
This years colorful noise parade
was different in that emphasis was
placed on appearance instead of
noise which allowed the smaller
organizations a more equal chance
in the contest. This was proven by
the fact that two dormitories aid
