DeVoto, who wrote the article in the “Easy Chair” department of the magazine, is coming to the campus Tuesday to talk on “The Professional Writer” at a 1 p.m. assembly Tuesday in the Student Union. He will also speak at a 4 p.m. coffee hour Tuesday in the SU. Best Man Written before Stevenson de clared that he would not run, the article is chiefly about his qualifi cations for president and why, in DeVoto’s opinion, Stevenson is the best man for the job. Editor of “The Easy Chair” since 1935, DeVoto wrote in the April edition that if Senator Taft of Ohio receives the Republican nomina tion, he cannot "openly campaign on the most important issue the election involves-, his own foreign policy.” He went on to say that Taft's foreign policy would defeat i the Republicans for the sixth time. Independent Vote Wins DeVoto declared that it is the in dependent vote that wins the elec tions and that a large part of it was prepared to abandon the j Democratic party if General Eisen hower was nominated. But now, he Director, Student Attend YWCA Meet i Mary Elizabeth McDowell, ex- j ecutive director of the Oregon chapter of the YWCA, and Sharon j Anderson, service committee chair man and junior in music, are repre senting the campus YWCA chap ter at the 19th national YWCA convention in Chicago, which opens Thursday. Leaders in religious, national and world affairs will address conven tion delegates on the theme, “Liv ing Our Faith.” Carlos P. Romulo, ambassador of the Philippine Is lands and permanent delegate to the United Nations, delivered the keynote address Thursday night. He discussed the effect the Chris tian faith can make on the world today. More than 3000 women, including 550 Y-Teens, will attend the tri annual convention of the legislative body of the YWCA. Many foreign countries will be represented at the conclave. Instructor Reads Editorial Offerings Newspaper editorials from big cities and little towns and in both daily and weekly newspapers, are currently being read by Charles T. Duncan, associate professor of journalism. Duncan is the judge for the best editorial award for the 1952 Na tional Better Newspaper Contest conducted by the National Educa tion association. Seventy-eight entries, from about every state in the union, have been received so far, accord ing to Duncan. Each entry contains three editorials.

In the course of a year, the pas sengers on British railways are served with 3,000,000 cups of tea, 10,000,000 sandwiches and 3,500, 000 pieces of cake. says, Eisenhower’s popularity among the liberal independents is declining and Eisenhower’s “weak nesses are becoming apparent.” He continued by saying that Eis enhower would have a Congress "controlled by men whom it is the sole purpose of his candidacy to defeat.” Men like Senators Bridges, Capehart, McCarthy and Taft are cited as examples by DeVoto. “Drawn to Specifications” DeVoto then turned to Governor Adlai Stevenson of Illinois and sai dthat the “Governor is drawn to specifications ... of the liberal independents.” The Republican campaign will be based on the issue of adminis trative laxness, looseness and cor ruption, DeVoto said, but this at tack would be "futile” against Stevenson. DeVoto bases his opin ion on the fact that Stevenson “cleaned-up” Illinois. The author of several books; De Voto has written “Mark Twain at Work,” “The Literary Fallacy,” “Mountain Time,” “The. Year of Decision: 1846” and “Across the Wide Missouri” since 1940. He is also the author of numerous ar ticles, stories and historical essays. • Campus Briefs ^ Bill Clothier, former Emerald associate editor and a March grad uate of the journalism school, has accepted a job with the Meredith Publishing company in Des Moines, Iowa.
