The three-time governor* of Wis consin said that the United States must stop making “hand-outs” and return to the preferable “grub stake” system which would give aid rather than charity. This was his solution to the: disappearance of the frontier, which he termed “the basic underlying economic problem of life.” Might Lose Money “We might lose money in such a venture,” he declared, “but I'm willing to gamble on the capaci ties and abilities of the American people.” Adherence to his basic economic suggestions, he said, should pre vent depression. Depression could result only from ignorance and misunderstanding of the economic problems facing us. Economic Fundamentals “Our basic economic fundament als,” he declared, “are that all wealth comes from work and every man has a right to earn a living. No nation or people can have hap piness or prosperity without re cognizing these rules.” LaFollette believes that strict adherence, following World War I, to either of two possible courses would have prevented the depres sion of the Thirties. We could have thrown out the machines that gave additional wartime produc tion or we could have devised ways and means of increasing buying power so that the large production could continue, he said. Government Acted Foolishly “Unfortunately,” he continued, “we did neither. A completely stupid economic system resulted.

N. troops before a strong North Korean army on slaught. Senator Tydings, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Com mittee told an Associated Press reporter Wednesday that it seems certain that Congress will be ask ed to change the draft law so as to get more manpower into the Armed Forces. This change would undoubtedly point heavily toward college stu dents. The changes that arc pos sible is the lowering of the draft age, which is now between the ages of 19-26, and the changing of the status of veterans. The latter are deferred by congressional action, but it is Congress who will decide on the change and they can repeal or revise this former action. 24 Webfoots Leave Twenty-four men from the Uni versity of Oregon have already withdrawn this term to serve in the Armed Forces. Out of this number 12 were called because of their reserve status. The draft has taken three men, two of whom neg lected to write their draft boards, and a third who went willingly. These men, or any others who are taken into the service before the end of this term by enlistment, draft or reserve status, can re ceive full credit for the courses they now carry. The grade they will receive for their courses will be the class grade they had in their classes when they left school, A. L. Ellingson, counselor of men, stated. Evidence of induction or enlist ment must be shown to the Office of Student Affairs and these stu dents may take a complete with drawal if they so desire, Ellingson said. Deferments can be given to members of the reserve forces as well as to draftees, it was learned (Please turn to page three) Board Approves New SU Activities I lie Student Union Board in a four-hour meeting Wednesday night paved the way for a broadened studdht program in the SU, beginning winter term, and approved a shuffling of the adminis tiative setup'to secure Board and Directorate coordination. Houses to Donate Christmas Boxes AWS Christmas boxes for Eugene families are now being prepared by campus living or ganizations. Each organization has been given the name of a family for which they may pack a box. Boxes should contain clothing, canned foods, or toys for the family, Ann Darby, Christmas party chairman, announced. A combination of all three articles is preferable, although not re quired. Individual items need not be wrapped but the large box which contains them should be wrapped, Miss Darby explain ed. Boxes are due no later than 12 noon Saturday at Alpha Omi cron Pi. Women's Study Hours Changed Study hours for women’s living organizations are 7:30 to 10 p.m., effective this week. The policy was changed at a meeting of Heads of Houses Mon day, invalidating former study hours from 7 to 9:30 p.m. The rule will apply to study nights, Sunday through Thursday. The new hours will permit stu dents to participate in more cam pus activities after the dinner hour without infringing on study rules, according to the group. Extension of hours to 10 p.m. affects the existing policy of 9:30 to 10:30 coke dates in many cam pus living organizations. This problem will be considered at the next meeting of the organization, Jackie Pritzen, president, explain ed. The group will also consider University rules restricting incom ing telephone calls after 11 p.m. in living organizations. A committee appointed at the meeting will consider the possibil ity of enforcing this rule and make recommendations concerning an ex tension of the call deadline. whello' Leads Have Wide Experience By Don Smith lictures on page five) ve backgrounds in the re shared by Pat Saund-1 Terrance Roseen, the Des and Othello of the Uni roduction which will open pening at 8. id players’ experience will em through performances W and Saturday, and Wed hrough Saturday of next Us special group perform laturday afternoon and rly next week. ? ft>r “Othello,” directed ,e Seybolt, may be pur * the theater box office, "ins ‘Oscar’ sunders, a junior in speech sfer from Pacific Univer 5 awarded the “Oscar” at as year for best support 6SS’ She won the award ^Performance of Ophelia J^mer she played Joan Lorraine” at Forest Previous theater exper ience has included work at the Portland Civic Theater, Seattle Repertory Theater, and Lincoln TERRANCE ROSEEN high school in Portland.
