Sparkman Made Some Points Senator Sparkman didn't talk about civil rights Tuesday but he did have something to say. The Senator said that states should receive federal assist ance for improvement of schools. He raised the issue of land reclamation against the Republi can charge of “creeping socialism.” He leveled at Eisenhower’s statement that the general will visit Korea immediately upon election and termed it a political move, pointing out that former visits by military leaders and members of congress have produced no ready solution. Sparkman's address contained the usual political digs to be expected by both parties during the last week of the campaign. He took a swing at Joe McCarthy, Ike's "surrender at Morn ingside Heights,” the Republican campaign of negation, the emotional factor in the Republican drive for the presidency. Sparkman’s speech emphasized two important points. 1. This is no longer the United States of the 1900's. The American system of free enterprise is open for modification which will aid the well-being of the people. If the best job can't be done by private business, local or state government, then the federal government should step in. It is the job which needs doing which must shape and delimit govern ment, Adlai Stevenson has said. 2. Eisenhower has no real solution to Korea but is attempt ing to win votes by waving a bloody flag. Removal of U. S. troops from Korea would do more than lower casualties; it would lower the respect for the United States among free countries throughout the world. Korea has become a symbol of the move on the part of the free world to halt Communist aggression. To withdraw now is to waste the lives of men who died on Korean battlefields. The task of the next president is not to see how fast we can get out of Korea but rather to see that we plant firmly the principles of non-aggression to which we are dedicated. Halloween Party Competition A Halloween party for kids is not an undertaking in which you ordinarily worry about competition. But this year, the As sociated Greek Students have competition. This campus group is sponsoring its second annual Hallo ween party in fraternities and sororities Friday night, which is Halloween. Games and entertainment are planned for kids for the twin purposes of entertaining them, and keeping them out of mischief. Plans for the campus party had progressed well, until they received somewhat of a blow it was discovered that the down town Optimist club was also planning a Halloween party Friday night. A full page advertisement in Monday night’s Register Guard states that the party, to be held at the Eugene Fair grounds, will feature a world championship donkey ball game a gold rush derby, a hog calling contest, a homeliest man con test, a pie eating contest, a grease pig contest, and a beauty contest. All this sounds like pretty strong competition. The AGS has <lecided to go ahead anyway with its own party. Planners of the campus party knew nothing about the Optim ist intentions until this week. Since they had made contacts with downtown merchants and none had mentioned the Optim ist party, they were somewhat shocked to learn of.it. Let’s hope there are enough kids to go around.—(B.G.)

Oregon’s Harris Ellsworth pushed law forbidding stations from charging double the local rate or the national rate to the politicos. Other media hike the political rates to cash in on the gravy. Radio doesn't feel it should be legislated against since the poli tical broadcasts break up the radio log and usually cause in numerable foul ups. A Real Tough Guv New Private Eye Appears on Scene (him. Now*: I hi* follow I it j' Ih from n column l>y Hubert I tainted In tin* Klehmond Pro fessional Institute Prescript. It Is the first Installment In a tough-guy detective story). The bare sun shone through the window into the sparsely furnished office. The office was so sparsely furnished, in fact, that there was nothing in it but an apple box, a bottle of whiskey, and a stack of old papers, legal papers, newspapers, flypaper, and empty bottles piled six feet high. If you had had a mirror you could have seen that the faded gold lettering on the other side of the grimy glass-paneled door said "Albert Murfls, Private Kye." A minute later a man walk. ! in. He was only six-foot-seven but he was big for his size. HO had biceps the size of an ordin ary soccer-ball, and his shoes were at least fourteen triplc-E. Over one eye was a patch, the; result of a barroom brawl when he was fourteen. Over the other eye was a bushy eyebrow. He sat down on the apple-box. Soon he heard a noise outside. Cautiously he opened the door, looked down the hall, and fired seven shots from the six-shooter he carried in a shoulder-holster. Then he calmly closed the door, sat down again, and began to clean and reload the gun. letting a cigaret hang from his lower lip and get smoke in his eyes. Suddenly the door opened and a young woman ran in, breath less. She was wearing a low-cut blouse and a high-cut skirt. Al bert Murfis cast an approving glance at her, then spat out the window. The College Crowd _Campus Headlines Elsewhere By Rae Thomas The 1903 yearbook of Ohio State will be heard as well as seen. In each yearbook there will be a 15-minute phonograph rec ord of some of the sounds most familiar to Ohio State students— the chimes, the marching band, school songs and excerpts from speeches by campus leaders. * • * A little thing like a mouse or a spider will probably nev er again shock the girls at a sorority in Arkansas. Last week four police officers were summoned to eject a steer from the basement bf their house. The animal, placed there by pranksters, weighed in at 1,200 pounds. * * * Two ambitious WSC students were planning a real party until local police discovered them. The culprits were first stopped for having their front lights focused too high in the air, but a new slant was thrown on things when officers found that 14 cases of beer were responsible for the misproportioned equilibrium of the car. The two boys had hi jacked the beer from a parked distributor’s truck. * * * The Hell into Help week move ment is in full force at Brigham Young U. Not only do they do worthwhile work around the campus, but they push the ac tives around campus in wheel chairs . . .

Ruined him for life, he accused. * * * A sign at the rear of a dorm at the University of Texas which used to read, “NO PARKING— SERVICE ENTRANCE’’ now says, “PARKING — VICE EN TRANCE.” * * * New frosted windows were in stalled in the ladies rooms of a dorm on the Alabama campus. They were constructed so that one could see out, but none could peer in. The evening was heavy with Peeping Toms before any of the girls noticed that they COULDN’T see out ..,
