Williams Traces
Rise cf Adams
Although Samuel Adams has
been given only cursory acknowl
edgement in our history books, he
was actually the conceiver of the
American Revolution, William A.
Williams, assistant professor of
history, said last night.
Speaking before a capacity
crowd in the Student Union brows
ing room, he told of Adam's rise
from the Green Dragon saloon,
where he discussed politics with his
cronies, to the floor of the Cont
inental Congress.
“The picture of Adams as a
domgatic revolutionary has large
ly been overdrawn, however," Wil
liams said; although he was con
stantly agitating for change, he
was willing to use violence only as
a last resort.
Sometimes called the “grand
father of our country.” he ordered
tea tossed into Boston harbor say
ing, “I am very solicitous for the
honor of the Boston merchants but
much more so for my country.”
"Sam believed the purpose of
man was man,” Williams said. He
initiated the revolutionary govern
ment in Massachusetts because he
believed all people were entitled to
an equal share of rights.

Actions of Senate
By Paul Keefe
Emerald Attitant Managing Editor
The controversy in selection of
one of the faculty members of the
Constitution committee, the abol
ishing of the class council and J
move to continue a ski team at
Oregon highlighted the 'fall term
activities of the ASUO senate. i
The senate refused to accept
Pi esident H. K. Newburn’s rec
ommendation of Paul Washke, pro
fessor of physical education, to
cerve on the faculty-student con
stitution committee. Other mem
bers of the committee have been
appointed but the recommendation
for another faculty member must
come from the University presi
dent.
Perfect Record
Made by 12
Twelve of the 25 members of
the ASl'O senate had perfect at
tendance records for fall term.
None of the senators were absent
more than twice.
Those members attending all !
meetings were Tat Dignan,
ASl'O president; Helen Jackson
Frye, ASl'O vice-president; Tom
Wrightson, senior elass presi
dent^ Jane Simpson, senior class
representative; Tom Shepherd,
junior elass viee-president; Bob
Simpson, junior class representa
tive; Bob Summers, sophomore
class president; Mary Whitaker,
sophomore class representative;
Don Collin, Bill Frye, Jody Greer
and Judy MacLoughlin, sen
ators-at-large.
Senators absent once were Mi
lan Foster, sophomore class vice
president ; Dick Davis, senior
class vice-president; Joan Marie
Miller, junior class representa
tive; Janet Miller, sophomore
class representative; Don Parr
and Ben Schmidt, senators-at
large. E. G. Ebbighausen, asso
ciate professor of physics, and E.

once.
Members of the senate who
missed two meetings were Merle
Davis, senior class representa
tive; Bob Brittain, junior class
president; Mary Alice Baker,
Mike Lally and Francis Gillmore,
senators-at-large.
Senate Meet Cancelled
The senate meeting scheduled
for this evening has been cancel
led, according to Pat Dignan,
ASIJO president.
The next meeting of the senate
will be held Thursday, Jan. 15. ’
The senate abolished the class
council, composed of class officers,
at the Nov. 6 meeting. Helen Jack
son Frye, ASUO vice-president,
s.tated that she felt that the group
was sei-ving no useful purpose and
should therefore be abolished. Some
members of the senate felt that
the council had not had time to
prove itself but the motion to dis
band the group passed 17-5.
A committee was formed to ob
tain the campus opinion on the
athletic program with prime em
phasis on the reasons for the dis
continuance of the ski team. The
committee reported that the funds
for a ski team had been allocated
but the athletic department felt
that there were too many problems
in having a ski team. After hear
ing the committee's report, the
senate voted to recommend to the
athletic department that a ski 1
team be formed this winter.
A motion to divide the candi
dates for president and those for
representative into separate groups
on the freshman class ballot was
passed by the senate. Some mem
bers felt that the division of the
candidates would be unconstitu-'
tional so the constitution commit
tee, when it is complete, will be !
asked to rule on the point.
A question was raised by a sen
ator as to how the social fund at
Carson is spent. Jody Greer, ASUO
senater-at-large, gave a detailed
report on various expenses. The
policy of sponsoring a foreign stu- ’
dent from the social fund was
questioned but Miss Greer ex
plained that the Carson hall house
council made the decision each
spring term.
A committee was set up to in- i
vestigate the possibilities of either ‘
restoring or filling in Fenton pool, j
The senate decided to recommend j
that the pool be put in working or
der.
