Three Officers'
Jobs In Doubt
Thw class officers apparently
failed to make a 2-polnt GPA
winter term anG may be disqual
ified for the positions they hold
l»n the ASUO senate.
The officers involved are Bob
Brittain, junior class president;
Janet Miller, sophomore class
representative, and Meb Buchan
an, freshman class vice-presi
dent. In two cases, the Indi
viduals, when contacted by the
Emerald, pointed to the possi
bility of errors in grading and
said they were personally check
ing with their Instructors.
According to the ASUO con
stitution, “No student shall take
office nor continue to hold office
under this constitution unless he
shall have complied with the
academic requirements of the
University of Oregon.” This
means that the officers must
automatically resign their posi
tions if the office of student af
fairs declares them ineligible.
Action on the matter will not
take place until later in the
week.
If the three are disqualified,
the ASUO senate will be obliged
to elect new class officers to fill
the vacancies at its meeting next
week, Pat Dlgnan, ASUO presi
dent, said Monday. Under pro
visions of the constitution, “It
shall be the duty of the Senate
to maintain its membership and
therefore It shall elect students
to fill the class offices and
ASUO representative vacan
cies.”
Dorm Council to Meet
A meeting of the Inter-dorm
council will be held today at noon
in John Straub, according to Tom
Shepherd, president.
Topics of discussion for the
meeting will be finances, the trip
to Oregon State college last term
and the recent IDC dance, Shep
herd said.

MEET THE DEANS
Sabine on Tour of Schools
Dean Gordon A. Sabine of the
University of Oregon’s school of
journalism left March 20 for a
nine-week study tour that will take
him to six universities of the na
tion. He will be on a Carnegie
DEAN SABINE
"young administrator” fellowship
to study institutional administrat
ive patterns.
Dr. Sabine will return at the end
of May. He will spend three weeks
each at the University of Wis
consin and at Princeton university,
a week at Brown university, and a
week at Stanford university. He
will also study administration at
Northwestern university and at the
University of Minnesota.
The Oregon journalism dean has
headed the school since 1950. He is
one of the youngest administrative
men in the profession.
“My two favorite activities are
with two families—my family at
home and the journalism family
here at the University,” said Sa
bine, when asked about his chief
interests.
Sabine became a father for the
third time just about one month
ago. His two older children are
aged three and nine. The other
family, the University of Oregon
school of journalism, includes
some 41 juniors and seniors in
the professional school.
Sabine’s career includes a wide
background in the newspaper bus
iness. Among the positions he has
held are copy editor of “The Wis
consin State Journal’’ in Madison;
editor of “Wisconsin Wildlife,” and
correspondent for “Christian Sci
ence Monitor,” “Chicago Sun” and
“Milwaukee Journal.” -
In addition to his professional
career, Sabine has been active in
the field of education. He was a
graduate assistant in journalism
at Wisconsin from 1939 to 1941,
but did not take up full time
teaching until 1945. He taught at
the Universities of' Kansas, Wis
consin and Minnesota before com
ing here in 1948.
In the fall of 1951, the
dean was a professor in residence
with Time, Inc., In New York city
observing and studying the pub
lishing firm's organization. It was
during this period that Sabine met
Henry R. Luce, whom he persuaded
to visit and lecture on the cam
pus last month.
.me L.ne ana oeath of Stalin’'
analyzes the nature of the Soviet
system and traces its history.
His “The Soviets in World Af
fairs,’’ a two-volume study of So
viet foreign relations, is a stand
ard reference book for students of
Russian activities. It was reprint
ed in 1951 and covers the period
from 1917 to 1929. The work is
based on Fischer’s numerous talks
with men who made Soviet policy
during those years and on Tsarist
and Soviet archives. The archives
are now close to outsiders and the
men involved are dead or silenced.
Upon his return from his 1952
trip, Fischer expressed optimism
on world conditions. He feels that
World War IH is not imminent and
that none of the countries he vis
ited will turn Communistic in the
forseeable future.
Pakistan, according to Fischer,
is suffering from a poor market
in exports of cotton and jute and
is bothered with the problem of
Kashmir. “But the people of Paki
stan have temperment and determ
ination,” he says. In India, he said,
“Nehru is the most popular and
most criticized man in the coun
try.” Fisher says that his visit to
India has given him a better un
derstanding of Nehru and his role
in world affairs.
Calling Indo-Chlna “the greatest
trouble spot in ail of Asia,” Fisch
er believes that that country is
“the twisted key to Southeast
Asia.”
Perhaps best known as an auth
or, Fischer has written such books
as “Men and Politics”; “The Life
of Mahatma Gandhi"; “Dawn of
Victory”; and “A Week with
Gandhi,” as well as articles pub
lished in The Reader’s Digest, Cos
mopolitan and the Saturday Eve
ning Post.
Coffee Hour Forum
To Hear Fischer
Louis Fischer will be presented,
in an open coffee hour forum to
day at 4 p.m. in the Dad’s Lounge
of the Student Union. Fischer, a.

will address a University assembly'

served at the forum.
