Thacher Recalls
Lost Generation
(Continued from page one)
The period which these writers
entered was one of opportunity,
the speaker said. Writers were in
great demand and "everybody was
doing it.” But the qualities of
good writing were not forgotten.
"Of the many who desperately
wanted to write, Thacher said,
“very few were chosen.”

No United Drive Slated for
Campus, Committee Says
By Joe Gardner
Emerald Assistant News Editor
There will be no united fund
charity drive on the Oregon cam
pus.
At the end of last term the
ASUO senate unanimously accept
ed the report of the Campus Chest
Policy committee as presented by
John Talbot, chairman. The recom
mendation of the committee was to
keep the present system of inde
pendent charity drives.
The committee had been making
an evaluation study of campus
chests—the name generally applied
to single annual charity drives ir
colleges—since last fall term. Ac
cording to the report, it was the
first such evaluation made in the
country.
In the course of their study the
committee corresponded with char
ity agencies, the National Students
association and several colleges
which already have campus chests
Working with Talbot were senate
members Joan Marie Miller and
Bob Summers. H. T. Koplin, in
structor in economics, served as
faculty adviser.
The two main conclusions of the
detailed nine-page report were: lj
There is no need for unifying char
ity drives on the campus, and; 2)
Oregon’s independent drives have
been more successeful than uni
fied drives in other colleges.
At the present there are onlj
three charity drives conducted at
Oregon during the academic year
Community Chest, fall term; Rec
Cross, winter term, and World
Student Service Fund, spring term
Solicitation for the March oi
Dimes is made at one basketbal
game during the year.
A strong recommendation was
made in the report to keep WSSF
separate from other drives. Sep
arate consideration in the reporl
was given to this phase of charitj
drives.
With an independent WSSE
drive and only one March of Dimes
solicitation, the committee noted
that only two other charity drives
were held on campus, the Com
munity Chest and the Red Cross.
"From here,” reads the report,
“there is an alternative of com
bining these two remaining char
ity drives and adding several more
worthy agencies, at the same time
keeping WSSF separate” or con
tinuing the three independent

drives per year. It was the latter
proposal which the senate ac
cepted.
In evaluating the success of
campus chests at other schools,
Talbot's committee compared the
results of such drives at five oth
er Pacific coast colleges with the
independent drives at Oregon for
the year 1951-52. The figures are
as follows:
Per student
Washington State college....53c
Oregon State College.52c
U. of Southern California... 40c
University of Washington. 30c
San Jose State college.15c
Collecting approximately $400
each for Red Cross, March of
Dimes and Community Chest, plus
$1,900 for WSSF, Oregon had a
total of $3,100 for the same year.
The average per student was 77
cents or 24 cents more per student
than the highest figure from the
other schools.
The report further noted “that
not all of the campus chest sys
tems have proven successful.” A
case in point is the University of
Southern California, whose campus
chest collections fell from $10,100
three years ago to $4,500 last year.
Lack of interest in the campus
chest was blamed as the biggest
reason for this decline.
Committee members stated in
the report that “in the unification
of the charities, a great deal of
educational value was lost.” Giv
ing of time and energy to support
voluntary agencies was cited as
an educational value “as import
ant, if not more so, than the ac
tual collections.
Conclusion of the report was
that “little, if anything would be
gained by a campus chest and
much might be lost.” The commit
tee urged that more emphasis be
given to the three drives now on
the campus rather than setting up
a united fund or campus chest.
