Methods for improving the
system of inviting high school
seniors to attend the Cniver
site's Duck Preview Weekend
''ere discussed in a special
meeting Saturday.

Personal Invitations
According to Miss Oberteuffer,
the group will recommend person
alized invitations from living or
ganizations to high school seniors.
In order that no high achool sen
ior who desires to come for Duck
Trevmw be omitted, cards would
b> distributed in high schools for
seniors to send in. Houses would be
aided in making up their lists by
use of residence cards on file in
the Office of Student Affairs for
high achool students planning to
attend the University.
Beavers IK) Well
Improvements in the invitation
system would be desirable in view
of the fact that Oregon State Col
lege, where living organizations
send personalized invitations, re
gistered some 1,300 guests for their
weekend this year, while Oregon
registered approximately 400, Miss
Oberteuffer said.
Other recommendations, which
will be presented in full when Miss
Oberteuffer presents a report to'
the ASUO Executive Council next1
Monday, include appointment of!
the Duck Preview chairman during j

Papers Should Stay Alert,
Says Washington Editor
The managing editor of Wash
ington, D. C.'s leading daily paper
Sunday night gave Emerald and
Eugene newsmen some of his ideas
on government and the press, the
’52 elections, the MacArthur story,
and television and newspaper.
J. Russell Wiggins, top news
executive of the Washington Post,
finished off the first of four days
Eugene with a press conference
last night. He will meet with
journalism classes today.
Wiggins said it’s necessary for
newspapers to maintain vigilance
in getting news about government.
“Unless this vigilance is main
tained," he said, “the sources of
government will be closed to the
press at all levels.. .city, state, and
national.”
He felt that in periods when se
curity is needed, governmental
agencies are likely to use this se
curity angle to cover news which
would be embarrassing in print.
When asked about the ticket for
’52, Wiggins said Senator Taft
seems to be waging the most vig
orous campaign in the Republican
field.
As for Truman, “I think the
President is the only one who
knows, and I'm not sure that he
knows,” the Washington newsman
said.
He mentioned polls which say
Eisenhower is the favorite of Re
publicans, Democrats, and inde
pendents.
When asked about coverage of
MacArthur’s firing and return,
Wiggins said "the press of the
country distinguished itself."
He added that editorial com
ment which he saw seemed more
calm than that of politicians or
the public.
Wiggins was asked if he thought
the wave of public opinion concern
ing MacArthur and his policy
would force Truman's hand.
He answered that the administra
tion's policy has already been
forced off the general line it fol
lowed at first.. .isolation of Korea
and neutralization of Formosa.
"I think it’s inevitable in a
democratic country that an articu
late opposition will tend to bend
policy,” Wiggins said.
He will be the speaker at the
combination Matrix Table-Grid
iron banquet Tuesday night. Sun
day afternoon he met with Ore
gon newspapermen in a seminar
sponsored by the school of journal
ism.

Robert C. North Offers Program
For Stopping Communism in Asia
By Adeline Gnrharinn
Robert C. North, authority on
communism in Asia, suggested a
three-point course for the United
States to follow in order to com
bat the influence of communism in
China at an assembly Friday in
the Student Union ballroom.
North's three points arc:
1. For the United States to exert
a democratic, revolutionary leader
ship in Asia.
2. For the United States to bring
all Asian problems to the United
Nations, rather than trying to
solve them by itself.
3. For the United States to pro
claim the right of all peoples to
better themselves economically and
socially, and aid them materially
in their struggle for this better
standard of living.
"It is one of tne tragedies of
modern times that the United
States has reached the point where
it has forgotten its own demo
cratic, revolutionary origin,’’ said
North.
As a place where the United
States has opposed revolution-or
supported the status quo, North
cited the case of the French in
Indo-China and Chiang-Kai Shek
in China. In both places the Unit
ed States has supported interests
contrary to the wishes of the
Asiatic people.
Not only should the United
States set forth her troubles in
Asia before, the United Nations,
but she should urge all other na
tions to do likewise, he continued.
“Words are useless and even
damaging without actions,” said
the Far East expert. Helping the
people of China to do such things
as building hospitals and irrigation
projects is absolutely necessary if
democracy is to take root and flour
ish in Asia. North said that the
United States could be powerful
militarily and still lose the struggle
in the long run.
It is difficult for us to analyze
the situation in Asia, said North.
So far the United States has tend
ed to ignore it. while Russia has
studied the upheaval in Asia for 30
years.
The upheaval in Asia, he said,
has been caused by two broad hu
man impulses. The first of these
is the refusal to live any longer
under conditions as they are. The
second is a fierce determinaiton to
drive Westerners out of Asia.
Specifically. North listed three
things which the people of Asia
want:
1. True independence.
2. Social and economic better
ment.
3. Peace to achieve these aims.
The urge for nationalism is there,
said North, and whether or not the

Cut Staff, Up Fees

Civil Service employes, as well a-i
to increase student fees 25 per cent.

land, told the House that the num
ber of students in state institu

20,000.

ed by the joint legislative waya
and means committee last week.
