UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1953
VOL. LV.
Burglary Rash Strikes
Three fraternities were entered
early Sunday morning and one
women’s house was broken into
early Saturday In the first rash
of living organization burglaries
since Kappa Kappa Gamma, Chi
Omega and Alpha Chi Omega
were entered last Jan. 10,
Tlie burglaries came two nights
after Ted Brown, Eugene police
chief, urged members of the In
ter-fraternity council to alert
members of their organizations to
the possibility of such burglaries.
He reported that such burglaries
are experienced every year and
pleaded that caution be used in
leaving billfolds and purses con
taining large amounts of currency
around in the rooms.
The houses entered over the
weekend were Delta Zeta, Phi
Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Psi and
Sigma Chi.
A prowler evidently entered
through the kitchen window at
the DZ house. A total of $118.50
in currency was taken from 17
purses plus one jewelry box. Phyl
lis Karn, president, reported that
the house had received no warning
notice to be on the outlook for
prowlers since last spring.
At Phi Gamma Delta, $128 in
currency was taken between 3 and
4 a.m. Sunday according to a re
port filed with the police. No
other valuables were listed as
missing. A member who claimed
to be the house president told the
Emerald Sunday afternoon that
the report of a burglary was er
roneous and that the information
could not be verified. The police
could not release the name of the
person who filed the report.
District Officer Don Braman
filed the Phi Kappa Psi report
Sunday morning after it was dis
covered that $44 was missing
from nine billfolds. Braman later,
reported that the amount of i
money taken was closer to $60
and estimated that time of en
trance as between 4:30 and 7 a.m.
Sunday.
The Phi Psi house was left open
following their house dance Sat
urday evening, braman stated,
although the house is usually lock
cd at night. The rooms in which
men were sleeping were not en
tered. The house had been warned
of the danger of a burglary, Bra
man said.
Missing at Sigma Chi some
time between 11:30 p.m. and 12:30
a.m. were the two Sweetheart
trophies of the fraternity, the re
port filed by Dick Reinhart, so
cial chairman, stated.
Reinhart was not available for
comment Sunday afternoon, but
Doug Clement, member of the
house’s executive committee, said
that the larger of the two trophies
had been returned early Sunday
and that it had evidently been
taken as a practical joke. The
smaller trophy, awarded to the
chapter’s sweetheart, had not 'Wen
returned.
Earlier in the year approximate
ly $100 worth of trophies were
removed from the house. The tro
phies were replacements of thcs»
stolen from Sigma Chi last spring.
Clement expressed the opinion
that the Saturday night theft was
not connected with the other bur
glaries on campus over the week
end. He also stated that to his
knowledge no announcement had
been made at Sigma Chi of tbo
warning issued at the IFC meet
ing.
Eugene city detectives were
working on the case Sunday, but
no arrests had been made Sun
day afternoon according to Brown.

Point 4 Policy Answer
To Real World Peace
Foreign policy was rated as the
greatest issue of the coming cam
paign for 1954 by Sen. Wayne
Morse (R. Oregon) as he spoke
to about 400 persons at a Young
Democrats’ meeting in the ball
room Sunday evening.
The Republicans were criticised
by Morse for -talking bi-partisan
foreign policy and acting unilater
ally.” A Democrat controlled con
gress is the only remedy, the sen
ator said.
"Then, this administration will
have to stop talking about a bi
partisan foreign policy and do
something about it,” he said.
Student Paper Debates
Bad Smell' at Harvard
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (UP) —
The Harvard university daily, the
Harvard Crimson, Saturday chal
lenged Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy
(R., Wise.) to actually name the
professors who are Communists.
“If he fails to do so,” the paper
said, "he will be admitting to the
nation that he has consciously
slandered a university which is
contributing at least as much to
the world’s fight against Commu
nism as McCarthy himself.”
The blast from the paper, which
is published by undergraduates,
came after McCarthy said Thurs
day there was a "smelly mess” at
Harvard when a Harvard assist
ant professor refused to tell his
subcommittee whether he had ever
given secret radar information to
the Communist party.
The recently installed president
of the university, Nathan Pusey,
did not indicate whether or not he
AWS Collects
$119 in Bids
A total of $119, more money
than ever before, was collected
from the AWS Auction Thursday,
reports Paula Curry, chairman.
Last year $100 was collected from
the annual auctions for the AWS
scholarship fund.
The pledge class of Alpha Chi
Omega was purchased for $30 by
Alpha Tau Omega, not Phi Delta
Theta as stated in Friday’s Em
erald. For $35.25, Alpha hall
bought the Pi Beta Phi pledges.
The Kappa Kappa Gamma
pledges went to Phi Delta Theta
for $41.
A Point-four policy of enlight
ened capitalism was given as the
answer to a successful foreign pol
icy and real peace. Morse stressed
the need for building up the eco
nomic prosperity of the free
peoples of the world.
“We can win a war today,” he
said, “but there would be great
sacrifice and we still wouldn’t
have won the peace.”
Food Is Money
"Surplus food is the best barter
money you have,” said the sena
tor, criticising the administration
for its attempts to eliminate farm
surpluses.
would reply to a telegram from
McCarthy which demanded to
know “what action if any” Har
vard intends to take upon the case
of Wendell H. Furry, assistant
professor of physics.
Pusey earlier said in a dedica
tion address that “Harvard’s
achievements give the lie to Mc
Carthy’s statemen.t”
The increasing population will
need full utilization of our power
resources, Morse said. He strongly
favored government power where
a multi-purpose dam could be
built.
The junior senator harshly crit
icized the present policy of Eisen
hower and Secretary of Interior
AIcKay regarding public power.
“Eisenhower and McKay have
sold out to private monopolies,”
Morse claimed. Howe'ver, the sen
ator did say he favored private
power where it didn’t deprive the
public of a multi-purpose dam.
Needs Low Rates
“The Northwest needs low pow
er rates and these are best at
tained when private power is in
competition with public power,”
he said.
In a question period following
his spech, Morse said he believed
the administration’s pr o m i s e d
changes in the Taft-Hartley act
would be only political amend
ments.
On the issue of Red China, tho
senator said he did not favor its *
admission until Red China had
proved that it was willing to stand
behind its international comit
ments.
