Court Decision Keeps Steel
Industry in Government Hands
Compiled by Mary Ann Movsery
(From the wires of the United Press)
A close five to four circuit court decision kept the govern
ment in control of the steel industry Wednesday. The order
'gives the government until Friday afternoon to file its appeal
with the supreme court. In addition, the ruling holds in abey
ance an anti-seizure order issued by Federal District Judge
David A. Pine.
Yesterday Judge Pine ruled that President Truman’ acted
illegally and unconstitutionally in seizing the vast industry to
avert a strike. Today, he issued an injunction declaring the
mills must be returned to their owners. Four hours later, the
circuit court acted.
The appeals court ruling does not in any way deal with
legality of seizure. It simply postpones for the time being the
effectiveness of the Pine order while the government appeals
to the supreme court.

Disapproval of Smoking
By Laura Sturges
If you are a freshman coed, you
are the least likely among students
to approve of smoking in the Class
room, according to the results of a
poll taken on campus, and of an
Associated College Press national
poll of student opinion.
Oregon students interviewed dis
approved of smoking in the class
room almost three to one, but
freshmen and women are much
stronger in their disapproval. Na
tionally, students are less opposed
to classroom smoking—disapprov
ing only two to one.
Most students who opposed
smoking in class mentioned con
sideration for non-smokers as
their main reason, regardless of
whether they themselves smoked or
not.
“I disapprove because it is un
fair to the students who don’t
smoke, even though I do smoke,”
said a sophomore at Oregon.
Students were asked: In general,
do you approve or disapprove of
students smoking during classroom
sessions? The results showed 23
per cent approving, 73 per cent
disapproving, and 4 per cent with
no opinion. Nationally, 29 per cent
students approved, while 58 per
cent were opposed. The other 13
per cent had other or no opinion.
One student commented, “I
smoke, but I disapprove. It is dis
BA Dean Returns
From Conference
Victor P. Morris, dean of the
school of business administration,
returned Monday from the annual
meeting of the American Associa
tion of Collegiate Schools of Busi
ness in Denver, Colo.
While there, Morris, a member
of the AACSB executive board,
participated with the deans of busi
ness schools at Harvard, the Uni
versity of Chicago and Columbia
university in a discussion of the
problem of graduate work.
The organization is devoted to
maintaining the general standards
of business schools throughout the
nation and a principle reason for
the meetings is to discuss adminis
trative problems, Morris explained.
At the present time, he said, the
association's making up standards
of business schools which will
cover about one-third of the na

this, all schools will be visited, he

trading for students to smoke in
class. It makes the room stuffy."
Supporting classroom smoking
to some extent a freshman coed
said, "I approve of smoking in
some classes, but not in all. In
classes in which the instructor
smokes, the students might as well
participate, especially if he bor
rows cigarettes from you.”
The national poll revealed a
trend toward "approval” from
freshmen upward to graduate stu
dents. Twenty-five per cent of the
freshmen approved of classroom
smoking, as compared with 42 per
cent graduate students favoring it.
The number disapproving the prac
tice decreased from 63 per cent for
freshmen to only 46 per cent for
graduates.
A freshman remarked, "There’s
a time and place for everything,
and the classroom is not one of
those places.”

This sign language can save your life
i —
• Right turn
® Left turn, pulling away
from curb, or backing up
• Stopping or slowing down
It other drivers were mind-readers, you
wouldn’t have to give hand signals.
Unfortunately they’re not. So when
you make a sudden turn or stop with
out signalling, you run the risk of an
accident.
Protect your car and yourself by
learning the correct, legal signals and
using them properly. In this way you
tell other drivers what you are going
to do before you do it.
Remember—hand signals are more
important today because there are
more cars than ever on the road. Don’t
take a chance—make hand signalling
a habit.
le careful—the life you save may be your own!
