NO SENSE OF HUMOR?
Webfoots vs. Britain;
Debaters Clash in SU
“We English traditionally have
no sense of humor,” was Peter
John Mansfield's opening remark
at the Oregon versus Britain de
bate held in the Student Union
ballroom last night.
Mansfield then proceeded, with
the aid of his colleague, Alistair
Hubert Sampson, to spend the eve
ning disproving that remark, ex
changing a swift, sometimes bit
ing, always highly entertaining
repertoire of subtle, audience ap
pealing humor.
Karl Harshbarger, junior in
speech, and Don Collin, senior in
economics, found themselves de
fending everything American from
generals who became presidents
to the American revolution to the
"class" consciousness of American
college students.
The University team upheld the
negative side of the question “Re
solved : That every young country
is a threat to world peace.” Their
position covered such topics as
the shade of ten gallon hats in
Texas and the beauty of Oregon
womanhood with a little tete a
tete on University drinking habits
thrown in for good measure.
An important question pertain
ing to the debate seemed to be the
validity of accepting definitions
from an Oxford dictionary. The
British debaters hail from Cam
bridge university.
Poetry reading found its way in
to the discussion with the two
Englishmen trying their hand at
a bit of risque pentameter and
lyric.
The British debaters seemed
highly pleased at the opportunity
to speak on the Oregon campus—
greeting the audience warmly.
Even Waldo who happened to be
in attendance. They also extended
an invitation to “Come to the
coronation,” illustrating that An
glo-American ties have not yet
been severed.
Occasionally the speakers
slipped into a consideration of the
question presented for discussion.
Complete with the traditional ac
cent of the British, the two Cam
bridge speakers attempted to
prove that young countries are a
threat to world peace through the
metaphor of Old England as a
mere "aircraft carrier” in the pres
ent world crisis.
Concluding in a serious vein,
Sampson quoted Disraeli, British
statesman of the late nineteenth
century, to the effect “Youth is
blunder, manhood is struggle and
old age is regrets.”
“I only hope,” Sampson said,
“that England's regrets are not
too many and that America does
not pull even one blunder. Blun
ders are something the free world
cannot afford today.”

Davis Lists Provisions
Of UO Insurance Plan
Provisions for a proposed “blan
ket-coverage” insurance plan for
the Oregon campus were outlined
for the Emerald Monday by Merle
Davis, senior class representative.
Davis is chairman of a committee
appointed fall term by Pat Dig
nan, ASUO president, to study the
plan.
At its regular meeting last week
the ASUO senate heard Davis’ re
port and voted to put the proposal
on the spring term election ballot,
May 13.
Investigation of the plan began
last fall after the senate heard th'e
report of Don Van Allsburg, Ore
gon State college student body
president, whose school was con
templating an insurance policy.
Since that date, the plan has gone
into effect at OSC.
The type of policy being sought
for Oregon, Davis said, would be
similar to the one at OSC. Davis’
committee is now soliciting bids
from insurance companies through
a special agent in Corvallis.
“Blanket - coverage” insurance
would protect the student “any
time, anywhere,” Davis pointed
out. Charge for the policy would
be $1.50 per student per term.
Coverage during the summer
would be included if all three terms
were paid at once, he added.
The policy would provide $500_
general accident coverage, ex
plained Davis. Included in the cov
erage are women’s athletics, vaca
tion activities, accidents in labor
atories or on field trips, employ
ment mishaps (except those cover
ed by state industrial accident in
surance), dental X-ray and sur
gery resulting from an accident
and ambulance costs.
Excluded from the program, he
noted, would be intra-mural sports
already covered by University in
surance, inter-scholastic sports,
eyeglasses and dental work not the
result of accidents and services
rendered by the student health,
service.
DISTRIBUTION
Emeralds will be distributed
at six spots on campus for the
remainder of the term. Students
may pick up papers at:
• Co-op, front entrance
• Westgate Shoppe, 13th ave.
and Kincaid St.
• University library, west
main entrance.
• Student Union, lobby.
0 John Straub dormitory,
main entrance.
• Carson hall, lobby.
Papers will be available some
time after 11:30 a.m. Monday
through Friday.
