Senator Calls Self
'From State, for Nation'
Sen. Wayne Morse said Thurs
day night thatthe representatives
of the American people who vote
by party orders or under the influ
ence of pressure groups are not
true representatives at all.
"The job of sitting in the Senate
of the United States is the job
of being a student of government,”
he explained in the music school
auditorium. "Unless politicians are
willing to use their brains inde
pendently, they sell their constitu
ents short."
The office holder who is influ
enced by the volume of mail from
the home state, who is afraid to
stand up for his own opinions and
run the risk of defeat, the senator
said, “has ceased to be your true
representative.”
Morse said he was “a senator
from Oregon for the nation," but
that two many other congressmen
refused to put national interest
above sectionalism. The senator
said he had been influenced by mail
from Oregon, but it was “on the
basis of reasoned discourses” in
the correspondence, not just its
volume.
"Frequently public opinion is
wrong, frequently public opinion is
misinformed,” he noted, suggest
ing that a true representative
would vote on the merits of an is
sue even though his decision was
against the current popular opin
ion.

Noted in Current Issues of Time, Life
Historian Arnold Toynbee’s
first attempt at bowling-, while
on the Oregon campus last week,
made the current issues of
1 “Time” and "Life” magazines.
Both stories tell of Toynbee’s

after missing completely his first
bowl. Both also allege he was
prompted into the venture by
Mrs.. Gordon Wright’s (wife of

and responses in history pre
viously mentioned by Toynbee.
“Life” accompanied its story
with a picture of Toynbee after
Winging the ball on the Student
Union alleys, with the caption,
“TOYNBEE RESPONDS”.

Is TIME or Mrs. Wright?
There is one puzzling aspect of
the TIME and LIFE stories.
They quote Mrs. Gordon Wright
as having made the “. . . rise and
fall of civilization . . . challenges
and responses . . .” bowling invi
tation to Arnold Toynbee quoted
in the surrounding story.
Mrs. Wright swore up and
down, when contacted by the
Emerald Thursday night, that
what she actually said was:
“Would you like to bowl, Mr.
Toynbee?”
the "Time” (May 12) story,
which was printed in the “New
Horizons” section of the depart
ment on "PEOPLE,” page 42:
“At the University of Oregon,
Historian Arnold Toynbee took a
tour of the campus, including the
new bowling alleys. Hearing that
he had never bowled, a professor's
wife said: ‘You said in your “His
tory" . . . that the rise and fall of
civilization is based on a series of
challenges and responses. Now
here is a challenge. What is your
response?’ Said Toynbee: ‘I’ll ac

his coat. His first frame; a com
