Activity Curtailing
A majority of persons interview- |
ed by the Emerald Monday ex- j
pressed disfavor with the proposed j
plan to cut down activities, espe
cially the dances.
“I don't see where it'll do much
good,” one girl commented. "There
isn’t enough to do in Eugene; we
need the activities.”
Several of the thirty persons in
terviewed felt that it wasn't the
dances that caused conflicts.
“What really jams up your sched

flicts,” commented one.
“There aren't enough free week

Mary Ellen Burrel, vice presi- i

Assembly Committee
To Decide on Speech
'Site' for Wayne Morse
The assembly committee will meet at noon today to discuss a sugges
tion by Student Union Director Dick Willaims that the Dec. 9 speech
of Sen. Wayne Morse be given in McArthur court instead of the St/
ballroom.
Williams explained to the Emerald Monday night that he felt tra
Morse address would draw more
than the ballroom would hold (its
capacity is 1200) and fire regula
tions do not permit crowding of
the ballroom.
He is recommending the address
be moved to McArthur court.
W. A. Dahlberg, chairman of the
assembly committee, said the com
mittee would decide on the place of
the Senator's speech. He stated
that it was “not up to anyone out
side of the committee to decide
where they would hold an assem
bly.” The committee determines
who will appear, how he will be
treated and the circumstances un
der which he will appear, Dahlberg
said.
Williams' letter to Dahlberg
reads as follows:
Dear Mr. Dahlberg:
This will indicate to you that the
ballroom of the Erb Memorial Stu
dent Ur.iorj will not be available
for the pending address of Senator
Wayne L. Morse. This office feels
that the anticipated crowd will be
too large to warrant the use of this
building, and we recommend that
you schedule McArthur Court for
this event.
Sincerely yours.

New Zealander
Reports on Paper
Despite the staff's fear of un
favorable public reaction, the New
Zealand Herald, "the granny of
New Zealand journalism,” got
"precisely less than r.o public re
action” when the paper removed
the periods from the end 6f head
lines.
This was cited by D. Keith Gunn,
political reporter for the Welling
ton Evening Post, as an example
of how tradition-ridden New Zea
land newspapers are.
Another example of this tradi
tionalism is the running of classi
fied advertisements on the frcr t
page and "big” news on the fca t
page. Gunn stated.
Speaking on the topic, “America
and the American Press as a Vis
iting Journalist Sees It.” Gunn sa l
that one of the main difference
between the two styles of jour
nalism is that the New Zea’ar t
papers achieve a greater objectiv
ity in their news columns than the
U.S. papers.
When asked about the entertain
ment features run in the islar 1
papers, he said that the Post rum

j D.S., one local strip and one from
England, "a funny little thing,

Washke Says 'Job Acceptance
Was from Invitation to Serve'
Paul Washke. professor of physical education, said Monday that V >
did not apply for the job of ASUO constitution committee member
this year and merely accepted an invitation to serve on the committee.
“No one is doing me a favor by asking me to serve on it ', Washke

UO Students Hold
Private Hearing
By Jim Kaycox
Editorial Assistant
On Tuesday, May 13, 1952,
Warcely 21 hours before the instal
lation of new ASTJO officers, not
one of those prospective job-hold-1
ers could be sure that he (or she! i
would walk away from the ASUO :
installation banquet Wednesday i
night with anything more than a ;
full stomach.
For the spring term student
body election of April 30 had been
contested. And. if the constitution
committee agreed with the con
testants, there would be no new
ASUO officers—and little time left
in which to hold a' new election.

time to look at the decision of tl •>
committee last year on the ASliO
and constitution amendment elec

mendations for the committee wait
until the next senate meeting.
Monday Washke questioned Col
lin's reasons for attacking only
one faculty constitution commit:

fessor of law. was chairman of la -1.
year's hearing and will also t o
chairman this time.
‘‘I don't feel that I should bo

Washke said.
Several other senate membe-t
were dubious of Washke's fitness
for the committee. The senate. 1 ’
a straw vote, decided to delay ac
tion on any recommendations.
