Fergusson Gets Publication Post Francis Fergusson, of the mod ern languages department of Princeton university, has recently been appointed to the editorial board of the Journal of Compara tive Literature, by University President Harry K. Newburn. Fergusson replaces Austin War ren of the University of Michigan who resigned this summer because of illness. Fergusson's appointment was based upon his nomination by the editor and other staff mem bers. The latest issue of Comparative Literature which is sponsored by the University of Oregon and printed on the campus, is a special one devoted to a series of articles on realism in America, England, France, Germany, and Russia. The material for the issue was gath ered and arranged by Harry Levin, head of the department of com parative literature at Harvard uni versity. The journal appears quarterly and is now nearing the end of three years of publication. It has already established itself in the field of scholarship and has subscribers in 47 of the states and 36 foreign countries, several of which are be hind the Iron Curtain. Editor Chandler Beall of the foreign languages department here at the university and the staff of editors from six other American schools hope to bring the publica tion to the attention of the people of the United States, for it seems to be better known in the other countries of the world. The fall edition will appear in late Novem ber or early December through the combined efforts of the staff work ing together across the country.

The national organization's disapproval of the pledging of Negroes was described as Bow doin's reason for the move. UO Chapter Surprised News of Delta Upsilon's Bow doin college chapter withdrawing from the national fraternity came as a surprise to the Oregon DU chapter last night. "I had no idea the national dis approved it,” said Willie Dodds, chapter president who attended the national convention in Michigan in September. Delta Upsilon has a negro alumnus, he said. “We don't have any racial claus es in our constitution either,” he remarked. "The only qualification for membership is that a man be enrolled in school.” The situation at Bowdoin, which involves the pledging of a negro, was known last spring, he said. The Oregon chapter as believing each man considered for member ship should be judged on his own merits, not his color, Dodds ex plained. He said he thought all the mem ber chapters of the fraternity’s western province, which includes schools in Oregon, California and Canada, had voiced similar opin ions.
