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.)

Pols Get Cut-Kales
Local radio advertising costing
less to the glee of the politicians.
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.

The bare sun shone through
the window into the sparsely

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

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.

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.
