(AP WIREPHOTO) Inquiring Reporter Poll of Students Gives Approval Of Grid Jaunt By Larry Hobart What do you think of a mass student body pilgrimage to one out-of-town football game each year? Oregon students asked this ques tion responded with enthusiastic approval of the plan and foresaw an elimination of confusion over cut classes and a general good time for everyone. Byron Brendon—senior in phy sics—“For the benefit of those who attend football games the plan would be fine. Unnecessary con fusion would be eliminated and students would go to the game and not have to worry about missed tests.” Carolee Robinette—freshman in liberal arts—“More people would be able to go if classes were let out. A special train would solve the problem of transportation and excessive cost.” Ken Olsen—senior in education —“I think it’s a real good idea. Since the band makes such a pil grimage once a year, I think that we ought to go in conjunction with them. There would be a lot more spirit, too.” Bay S. Smith—fifth year sen ior in architecture—“A fine plan. Think of the organization you could get. It would help show peo ple something of the Oregon spirit. There are a few disadvantages though. You’d have to add a special car on the train for chaperons.” Ed Conynghan—junior in Eng lish—“Very good idea. Of course, one trouble will be that everyone will go on the other weekends too. I think it would be a lot of fun, however.” Perry Stamper—freshman in ar chitecture—“I think that it’s a good idea. Attendiifg an out-of town game as a unit would be fun and would present a favorable im pression of Oregon spirit.” Pat Hamilton—senior in English —“It would be lots of fun.

With Apologies to The Second Cup...' Silver is one of the best con ductors cf electricity. Every time we are handed change for a fifty cent piece we get a shock. A will of your own is more apt to help you succeed than the will of a rich relative. Breakfast should be eaten in silence, says a physician. So gents, don’t stay out late the night before. The world is not alone in berng full of a number of things. An Oregon doctor found a pocket knife and a key in a man. A bigamist was put on the broom and mop squad in an Ohio jail. Ah just like home. It will be nice when it’s hot enough not to miss that shirt you lost on March 15. in would be good.” Mary Lo Paddack—freshman in business administration—“It would be ideal. Going to the game as a group would be more fun and bet ter organized. I think the team would appreciate the massing of students at one time mpve than the usual scattered groups.” Bill Peterson—fifth year senior in architecture—“I like the idea. I think the trip should be for a California game though, because we never have as much support there as we do when playing north ern teams.” Pat Smith—freshman in sociol ogy—“I think it’s a swell idea, but I think they should go to one of the Washington games. I live in Washington.” THE AIR FORCE has developed this new 20-man Hferaft whieh is capable of supporting; more than 5,000 pounds without sinking.

(AP WIREPHOTO) Leftist Demonstration Witnessed In World Student Congress Meet (This is the second in a series of articles about the Communist dominated Second World Student Congress which wTas held in Pra gue this summer. The author was a member of a three-man observer team representing the National Students Association. Although Oregon is not a member of NSA, the Emerald believes the content of the articles jutifies printing.) By Bill Holbrook From ihe beginning of the Sec ond World Student Congress it became apparent that the meet ing would be dominated by the thinking of the Soviet world. The first real example of this came during the reading of the execu tive committee report by Congress President Joseph Gorman. The first reference to the war in Korea set off a huge demonstra tion. At the mention of the North Koreans the Congress delegates— most of whom considered the Unit ed States and South Korea as ag ' gressors—broke out into clapping | and rushed to the members of the Korean delegation, lifted- them on their shoulders and handed them bouquets of roses. After the clap ping the majority of the Congress started chanting "Korea" and the name of the President of the North Korean Peoples Republic. At that point the entire North Korean delegation, armed with roses, were carried on the should ers of students through the con vention hall amidst chanting and the play of floodlights. Demonstration Follows As the Koreans—some of whom were in uniform—passed the desk where Robert West of the NSA observer delegation was sitting, they shouted slogans of defiance at him. According to West’s de scription, “The faces of the Ko reans as they passed had changed from smiles to a distorted sort of frenzy.” After sixteen and a-half minutes the chair requested that delegates take their seats, but this was entirely ignored as the demonstration continued unabat ed. It was only after twenty and one-half minutes of demonstration that the delegates returned quiet ly to their seats, and Gorman was able to go on with his report. At the end of the next para graph of the executive report the President said, “Hands off Korea.” Immediately the majority picked up the phrase and chanted it in unison for four minutes. The Scotch, who were dressed in their red academic robes, re mained seated throughout this de monstration, and could be seen through the confusion of students. Who attended Perhaps this would be a good time to pause and explain wHt?*t tended the meeting. The Interna tional Union of Students stated in its official report that a total of 1,036 delegates, observers and visit ors were accredited. These repre sented 135 student organizations from 78 nations. The official American delegation was composed of people picked by the Committee for International Student Cooperation (CISC). They were granted 12 voting delegates positions and should be distinguish ed from the NS A observer dele gation. The CISC was founded by a smalL group, of IUS proponents after the suspension' of -IbfS-NSA negotiations. This organization has acted as the distribution center for IUS literature and has served as the nucleus of the “American Spon soring Committee for the Second World Student Congress.” From the speeches made by the official American delegation, the NS A group would observe that the delegation was composed of “dem ocratic, progressive” students. Similar left-wing organizations were also present from j>.t Britain, Canada and the Union of South Africa.
