Ike Says 'No'
To Spy Appeal
\\ ASH I,\(i I ()\ (AI’)—Convicted atomic s|»ics Julius and
l.tlicl Rosenherg—listening to prison radios have heard that
one of their last chances for escaping the electric chair has
hern - battered. I hey made no comment.
I 'resident Kisenhower refused to save the Roscnhergs from
.•A.tuuun. 1 ney naa appealed for
presidential clemency on the
ground that they were innocent of
rthe charge of conspiring to slip
I atomic secrets to itussia.
I he president said their ciime
-far exceeds that of taking the
hfe of another citizen. He said it
involves the deliberate betrayal of
.the entire nation and could very
well r< suit in the death of many
thousands of citizens.
Eisenhower said there has been
neither new evidence nor have
there been mitigating circum
stances which would justify his
interceding in the case. He said
he had made a careful examina
tion of the case and is satisfied
ttiat the two individuals have been
accorded their full measure of
.justice.
"We are a nation under law and
our affairs are governed by the
-just- exercise of these laws,” the
pi (-sklent said
The Rosenberg's lawyer said he
-will appeal again to the supreme
court.

>Heart Beats' is Theme
Of Traditional Dance
“Heart Beats" is the theme of
this year’s Heart Hop sponsored
hy the YWCA to be held Friday
night, Feb. 20.
It begins with the coronation of
fhe King of Hearts in the lobby of
Carson Hall at 8 p.m. and will con
tinue with dancing at Alpha Delta
Hi, Alpha Omicron Pi, Delta Zeta
and Delta Delta Delta.
The annual girl-ask-boy dance
got its start back in 1936 as a fea
ture of leap year and was regarded
by the Oregon co-eds as such a
good oportunity that it became a
yearly event, according to the Feb.
1, 1951 edition of the Emerald.
In making the progressive “hop,”
which takes place in five different
■women’s houses, traditional the
YWCA continued to choose com
mittees to plan and work on the
dance, one of which is the king
selection committee.
After each living organization
submitted the name of a candidate,
this committee interviewed them
and selected twelve semi-finalists.
" From these finalists the king
was chosen by voting with the pur
chase of tickets, and according to
the accounts in the 1938 Emerald
the campaigning was much on tlic
older of a battle.
Since the dance was an after- |
noon affair taking place on Valen
tine's Day for many years, the :
king, after hieing crowned, was ■
ceremoniously dunked by his run
ners-up in the Millrace.
Now, however, the king is now j
no longer dunked in the Millrace i
but is tubbed at one of the houses. !
The dance now takes place on a 1
Friday night following a basket- ;
ball game if there is one being
played.
In past years, the themes for the
dance have included “Ladies Leap"
in 1936, “Heart Breakers" for
1945, "Rapid Romance" in 1947,
"Twitterpation” in 1949, “Sweet
heart Serenade" for 1951, and
“Leap Year Lyrics" for 1952.
In 1951, Merv Hampton, Dick
McLaughlin, Martel Scroggin,
Mike Lally, Pierre Pasquio and
Curt Finch were the finalists for
the "crown” of which Pasquio
emerged victorious, as did Jim
Harding over Bob Chambers, Paul
Lasker, Arne Borgnes, Bob Brit
tain and Hal Dunham in 1952.
This year the finalists for king are
A1 Babb, Jim Owens, Jim Miller,
njSd Kgnney, Ron Lyman and Jim
I Livesay.

that typify American buildings.
First, he noted, there is an em
phasis on wall surfaces.
“American arciteeture has a
planeness of surface, a flatness,
that contrasts strikingly with the
curved or sculptured buildings of
European construction, he re
marked.
Next, he pointed out the Amer
ican use of “stick construction"
in the work of contemporary archi
tects.
Finally, Ross emphasized the
American use of strong, simple
shapes that are “bold, or even
bald," in appearance. He remarked
on the "American look" in archi
tecture which makes use of stark,
violent, angular and prismatic
foims in its construction.
“There is a positive ugliness in
American buildings,” he said,
“which has a vigor and power that
is not present in the more self
conscious, sophisticated European
construction.
. Most of the slides which Ross
used to illustrate his lecture be
long to the University. Among
his first slides was the George
Washington gristmill, a bare and
sparse building with a simple box
like construction. The simplicty of
such earler buildings has influ
enced the clean lnes of our con
temporary constructions, he point
ed out.
Ross showed a building by the
architect, George Washington
Snow, which was constructed of
the lightest possible wooden
frames, put together in a simple

Late Sale of Oregana
Will Be Held Next Week
University of Oregon students
will be given a special opportunity
i
to purchase the 1053 Oregana

Oregana sales manager.
Most of the students have pur
chased their Oreganas, but there
is still a sufficient demand to war
rant this late sale. Light said. The

large number of canceled orders
this year due to enrollment after
afll term.
Oreganas will be sold at a booth
in the Student Union and a table
in the Co-op throughout the week
for S6.75 if the buyer wishes to
make the full payment at the time
of purchase.
If perefrred a partial payment
of S3.75 may be made, the re
mainder payable spring term.
