UO Library Receives Henry Stanley Letters Over fifty letters from the per sonal correspondence of Henry AT. Stanley, the famed nineteenth cen tury African explorer, were receiv ed by the library of the University of Oregon in a collection of over 400 documents dealing with his op erations on the Congo River from 3881 to 1883. The letters and documents were gathered by Li even Van de Velde, a Belgian army officer, who was commander of Vlvi station on the Lower Congo, a former supply de pot for Stanley’s exploring parties. Van de Velde was a member of the "International Association of the Congo", financed and encour aged largely by Leopold II, king of the Belgians. The association established a series of stations on the river, designed to control na tive trade and allegiance and act as a barrier against other Euro pean nations interested in West African territory. The letters indicate that while Stanley was interested in explora tion for its own sake, other mem bers of the association were oper ating under political orders from Belgium. The association opposed Capacity Crowd Hears Mendelsohn Erich Mendelsohn, noted archi tect and pioneer in contemporary architecture, spoke before a capa city crowd in the Science auditor ium Thursday night. Mendelsohn’s lecture on “My Contribution to Contemporary Ar chitecture" was accompanied by Elides depicting sketches and pho tos of his work. Describing himself as “living for xny work", Mende’sohn stated, “History is the final record of any thing man does, and the architect writes history of our land.” The lecture was a preliminary feature of the Festival of Contem porary arts. . the efforts of the French and Por tugese, particularly, to control the j Con&o basin, and in 1885 the asso ciation was recognized as the sov j ereign Congo Free Stale. Aside from its usefulness as | source material for the political j history of African colonies, the col lection is important as an account ; of Eupropean methods of dealing with natives and of the principles j of government. The collection also contains a I group of water colors of scenes at Vivi station, executed by Lieven 1 Van de Velde. The entire collection supplements the importance of the great collection of African objects presented to the University some j years ago by Paul Van de Velde, 1 of Salem.

Movie Ballrm SU Local GOP Group Censures Morse A letter criticizing the recent ac tions of Wayne L. Morse, junior United States senator from Ore gon, has been sent to the senator's Washington office by a group of local Young Republicans. Those signing the letter were Thomas N.

All hoid offices with the Lane County Young Republicans, the University of Oregon Young Re publicans or the Eugene Junior Young Republicans. The gioup stated in the letter that it felt Morse had not conduct ed himself on a plane “which would bring honor and credit to the state of Oregon." They also stated the belief that he had not carried on his duties in such a way as to bene fit the people of the state. Final criticism leveled against the sen ator by the group was his failure to support the newly elected presi dent. Drawing on these reasons, the letter concluded: "Therefore, we wish to state that our support which was most ardent, must now be officially terminated. We have tried to understand you, but your refusal to confirm the President's cabinet, your opposition to Charles E. Wilson and to Harold Stassen, and your criticism of the Republi can party can not be condoned. Pettiness and rancor can never be the accepted attributes of a United States Senator from Oregon . . . . We leave you with your thoughts."
