.. .— uiuugnc to me
attention of the senate by a letter
from the University of Louisville.
The letter advocated the bill to
be proposed by Senator Maybank
of South Carolina which would al
low education expenses to be add
ed to medical expenses. If this to
tal was in excess of five per cent
of the total income, it would be
deductible for tax purposes.
What was termed as a more
realistic proposal was finally ap
proved by the group who instruct
ed Summers and Light to prepare
a letter to send to congress. The
proposal would call for a $700 tax
free base income instead of the
present $600 a person may earn
before he is taxed. The letter will
also suggest raising the age of
dependency from 18 to whenever a
person gradautes from college.
The motion for the letter went
through several parliamentary
procedures. A motion to postpone
it made by Ben Schmidt was de
feated as was a motion to table
made by Schmidt. Schmidt, Tom
Shepherd and Hollis Ransom went
on record as no favoring action
until further study of the question
had been made.
The senate voted to purchase
liability insurance for the "O”
on Skinner's Butte as promised in
the approval for rebuilding of the
landmark by the Eugene city
council.
Two consitution changes were
proposed by ASUO Pres. Tom
Wrightson. A1 Oppliger was chos
en chairman of a committee to
study the changes which would
involve freshman election pro
cedure and filling of graduate stu
dent vacancies. Committee mem
bers are Jim Light, Gordon Rice
and Hollis Ransom.
Lecturer Stresses
Plight of Japan
“When Perry opened Japan’s
doors 100 years ago, he create-!
a moral responsibility for the Unit
ed States—that moral responsi
bility remains today,” Nobutaka
Ike told his Perry Centennial
audience Thursday night.
Painting a pessimistic picture
of contemporary Japan, Ike, Far
Eastern librarian at Stanford uni
versity, stressed the need for dy
namic Japanese leadership, but ad
mitted that he lacked faith in th<*
present government of Japan.
The democracy that was given
to the Japanese by the Allies has
served to diffuse the power. Gone
is the strength of the Japanese
leaders who brought their country
out of isolationism, he said. Now
it is certain that power groups
would stall the government to pro
tect personal interests.
Marxism Embraced
| “Today there is a good deal of
[ anti-American sentiment among
the intellectuals,” said- Ike, adding
that much of this feeling comes
from Japanese who have embraced,
the Marxist doctrine. He pointed
to a growing interest in Marxism
in all parts of Asia.
He said that many of the maga
zines in Japan are controlled by
Marxists. The fact that these pub
lications are opposed to the pres
ent conservative government,
which they consider too pro-Amer
ican, was another reason given by
Ike for the weak government.
