Seventy Miles to Salem A student trip to the Oregpn state legislature is taking shape under the hand of the campus Young Republican club. And it has the approval of the University leader of the Young Demo crats. So any fears of a strictly partisan safari to Salem are un necessary. The Young Republicans maintain an active campus group, and have already begun arrangements for the trip. Leaders at tended an executive committee session in Salem last weekend and laid some of the groundwork while there. Plans will be made for a limited number—tentatively one busload—of Oregon students to make the trip. One chartered bus holds about 40 students. So those who fear that they would be going to Salem with a small horde of several thousand students need not worry. The Young Republicans estimate a total cost per student at less than $3.50 for transportation and a special luncheon in the statehouse. This gives absolutely no profit to the Young GOP group. So anyone worrying about excessive costs need not fear. The way is now clear for detailed organization . . . and for student response . . . and for 70 miles to Salem. The Pause That Refreshes How about the “Pause that Refreshes” during intermissions at University-Civic Music Association concerts? The long line-ups at the two main floor drinking fountains in McArthur court indicate that some members of the audi ence quench their thirst during the intermissions. But water is the only beverage—no Coke, orange, or other soda pops are sold at concerts. This no-Coke policy all began during the war. It seems at that time there were no paper cups, and the athletic depart ment didn’t want Coke bottles strewn all over the Igloo. After the war was over the policy of no refreshment stand was con tinued, since there seemed to be little demand for an intermis sion concession. But now, however, the athletic department is perfectly will ing to allow a refreshment concession during concert intermis sions—both as a public service and as a money making propo sition. So the question falls back to the Civic Music Association, which will take no action unless it hears considerable demand for something during intermission other than water. Which leaves the problem to the discretion of the Univer sity representatives on the association board; it is they who must decide if there are enough students who want refresh ment at intermission time.—D.S. The Second Cup... For benefit of the brave souls who plan to give their blood Monday, some quotations: None but the brave deserve the fair.—Dryden. Fortune and Love befriend the bold.—Ovid Hail, Caesar, those who are about to die salute thee.—Sue - tonius. ? The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.—Tertul lian. It is the cause, and not the death, that makes the martyr.— Napoleon. It is easier to sacrifice great than little things.—Montaigne. THE DAILY to the student court for its business-like, efficient, cap able, and just handling of traffic cases. It has earned the respect of the students who have appeared before it. THE OREGON LEMON .. . to students who complain about inefficiency in student activities, but who never petition for a job themselves. Magazine Rack Security May Be Obtained By Sinking Into Conformity By Marge Scandling A Harvard history professor’s article in this month’s ATLAN TIC points up the high degree of orthodoxy among college stu dents as discouraging to the old er generations . . . says that all the efforts of the hard-working students who returned to school after the last war were directed at a very meager goal . . . “the little dreams were not of wealth or fame . . . but of bureaucrat’s offices in government or the cor porations” ... he interprets this by saying that the desire for se curity made young people willing to sink into conformity . . . ex pands on the willingness of most students to read what was as signed, but never question it or enlarge upon it . . . describes “all those eager faces looking up at the platform, waiting to be told what to believe” . . . suggests that youth may have found lib eral tendencies of the U. S. at fault both at home and abroad, especially in not knowing how to face up to the challenge of totali tarianism ... or that some deep er fundamental change is involv ed, since the yearning for securi ty is a familiar one through the pages of history. TIME this week makes a big 1 The Word By Stan Turnbull It’s small-talk and idle conjec ture time . . . See by the Emerald! that ques tionnaires from the student dis cipline committee on cheating (we assume this means that the questionnaires are on cheating, not the committee) will be pass ed out to students in Thursday and Friday classes . . . let’s hope nobody cheats and says that they don’t cheat... * * * Interesting note: In 1949 Ed Anderson was Dad’s Day chair man, and later candidate for stu dent body president; last year Gerry Smith was Dad’s Day chairman and was nominated for student body president; Monday night Dave Rodway was named Dad’s Day chairman. Will history repeat ? * * * Women, we note, have been es pecially urged to petition for stu dent traffic court positions, so that court may have a “women’s view in handling the cases of wo men drivers brought before the court.” Women drivers squab bling with women judges! The court is also working on develop ing a new student parking per mit. of the decal type, with school colors. How about a decal-type sticker of a shaft—in school col ors—to paste in the window after each conviction? * * * Five dollars worth of “Sane Sex Life” (a book) for only $1.98 —that’s the stupefying bargain (stupendous is hardly the word) offered to almost all campus sen iors via a torrent of form letters received Tuesday. This may be just what the administration is looking for. Back to sanity! to-do over Atlanta, Georgia’s new library . . . remodeling bf the old one cost the city’s taxpayers over a million dollars .. .had fresh new colors such as “eggshell white, canary yellow, and lime green” . . . (so what, we have all that in our library and a Student Union besides) . . . however, this li brary has glass doors that open by electric eye . . . head designer was going on the the'ory that people would go in more often if it were made so easy . . . idea might be adapted here . . . I’m sure we’d all go to the library more often if it just weren’t for pushing those heavy old doors open . . . one more thing the At lanta library has is a machine to charge books in and out photo graphically in a fraction of the time it used to take. If you think you’re normal, don’t go to a psychoanalyst, COS MOPOLITAN warns in its ar ticle, “Are Psychoanalysts Crazy?”, because the process it self is apt to create a neuroses in a normal person . . . problem of paying the analyst’s fees could create one, too . . . author quotes prominent psychiatrist who said, “There are manuals telling us what to do till the doctor comes. But what are we supposed to do while waiting till the psychoana lyst goes? ... I have come re luctantly to the conclusion that eight out of ten orthodox psycho analyses are more harmful than helpful.” A magazine witn an editorial policy differing from this has re cently come off the press. It’s called WHY, the magazine of popular psychology, and its first issue came out in November . . . if you happen to be one of the pupils of dianetics, the first mag azine carried arguments for and against this new theory. Author of the “for” article was L. Ron Hubbard, leading proponent of dianetics . . . the first issue also contained an interesting piece on “what drove Forrestal to sui cide” The Campus Answers About Ostrich Edits Emerald Editor: I have sufficiently subdued my irritation at your myopic mental wanderings by application of ice packs at the back of the neck and forehead to attempt a rescue. The rescue will be one of a mind that is definitely out of its pro vince in pursuing a journalistic career. The policy which you second guessed in your Monday column was from the Catholic Church to be sure. But it was not an origi nal category announcement nor was it from a frightened body of supremists which fears to allow a priest a moment of individual action. The reaffirmed stand which this decree strengthens dates back to the days of lions and edible Christians. The church clergy has always been encourag ed to be exemplary to other mens^p bers and remain aloof from groups which conceivably could endorse programs other than would be most advisable from a purely religious point -of view. Political influence also is of con siderable import to such civic luncheon groups. Most of us will agree that separation of Church and state is desirable. The meta phorical sand you have placed the priests heads into is unique in that it is quite above the clouds in maintaining a stable position for the Church, one which it has held for 1951 years. Never tear tor a retreat irom “ism” ideologies by the Church. It has a universal status of doc trine and is little contaminated by vacillation of dogma. Such men as Cardinal Mindszenty and the clergies of Hungary, Czecho slovakia, and Poland can attest to this. Had you thought (the possi bility of any investigation into the matter is too remote to con sider) about the situation with a sober aim towards constructive criticism perhaps your invective could have been channeled into a less delicate subject. Now, I can not imagine that you will stand other than an object of literary ridicule. You have bitten off too large a chunk for which you needs be chewed. Tom Thorpe It Could Be Oregon “He’ll be more careful about knocking those hurdles over from now on—I had that one sunk in concrete.”
