Senators Discuss Elections, Phones rvepons on Wednesday s elec tions, the honor code and the tele phone situation were the main top ics in the last meeting of the "lame cluck" 1951-52 ASUO senate. There will undoubtedly be other senate meetings this year, outgoing ASUO President Eill Carey said, but they will be after the ASUO banquet and installation of new ASUO officers, May 14. Merv Hampton, ASUO vice president and chairman of the elec tion committee, said "there were a few flaws in the election machinery but by and large it came off as we hoped it would." Contesting Was Planned He said that at least one party— whom he did not identify—had hoped to contest the voting but "on what basis I don’t know.” Rumors and two telephone calls that the ballot boxes at the Student Union were to be stolen proved ground less, he said. In his final report, given just be fore he submitted his resignation, Special Phone Committee Chair man Dick Kading recommended that the senate wait the return of President H. K. Newburn from Eu rope this month and discuss the situation with him before continu ing action. “An application of pressure at this time would be unwarranted,” Kading said. He explained that act ing president William C. Jones, dean of administration, did not feel it his right to enter possibly very protracted negotiations involving the University—for example, a for mal complaint._ Clarifies Situation Donald DuShane, director of stu dent affairs, further clarified the situation, explaining that Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company had informed the administration an answer to the administration's request (to remove pay phones from areas in dormitories not gen erally accessible to the public) was ready. Jones, he said, asked that the signature of Fred Scholl, general commercial manager of the com pany in Oregon, appear on the re ply and this wish had somewhat unavoidably delayed the company’s answer. No More This Term In any event, DuShane explain ed, it was explained to the senate some time ago that nothing beyond removal of phones in fraternities, sororities and co-ops was possible this term. Demand for an immedi ate reply would probably have as sured a "no” answer, he said. Adding color to the honor code report, also given by Hampton, chairman of that committee, were charges by him that a circular titled “What the Honor Code Com mittee Didn’t Tell You About the Stanford Honor Code System,” written by Senator Don Collin, was “entirely unfair, biased and un truthful . . . and highly smacked with cowardice from beginning to end.” Collin replied that “It was a tac tical move on my part to do what I could to influence the vote” and he maintained that all the state ments made were true. Collin Replies “Signed or not (it was unsigned) would it make any difference if it were the truth,” he countered. Hampton in his report, requested the work of the committee be car ried on “looking toward the even tual establishment of an honor code here at the University.” This might now take two or three years, he ob served. It was also recommended by the committee, through him, that a file of examinations (suggested in the honor code report) be set up even without the code and that, if the senate saw fit to continue the com mittee, member continuity in new appointments to be made a can sideration.

The scholar who is continually add ing to his store of knowledge and never doing anything with it is bound to become frustrated.” During good times, Toynbee pointed out, we tend to forget about history. It is only when his try "picks us up and shakes us” such as in time of war—that we become fully aware of its import. The historian’s life must be one of action, he said; life itself has to be action or failure. Facts Must be Belated “The historian, stoked with curi osity, must be moved by more than a desire for facts. He must want to relate them to what he has ex perienced or the times he has lived through, ” he said. Toynbee emphasized that any historian must ask himself two questions about his topic: 1. Why did this happen? 2. "How did this come out of that ? How did one set of events evolve out of a preceding set? Poetry in History History isn't all dry facts, he pointed out. There are three poetic elements in history: a lyrical poetry, an epic poetry and a dra matic poetry. It’s possible to be come cynical about history, he said, but one shouldn’t. "The historian, the philosopher, the scientist each looks out on the universe through his own little window,” Toynbee said. "Each sees something different.” But the historian’s main job is looking into the past. "For the future,” he said, "he has to make way for the prophet.” Paraguay has been granted a $5,000,000 loan to increase farm production.
