Rally Board Hears Studenf Opinions Sirap)£C..X£lJs, fewer house pair Tngs.-and a-regular locution for all rallies these WETS' the -recommen dations made-by the rally board at a..special meeting' Wednesday. In order to get the opinion of student leaders, the athletic de partment, and local alumni, the board met with Tom VVrightson. ASUO president; Hollis Ransom and Bob Summers, candidates for ASUO president; Donald DuShane. director of student affairs; Bill Berg, president of the Oregon Duck club, and Bill Bowerman, assistant athletic director. Forced Fairings ‘No Good’ Members of the group felt that house pairings forced students into rallies, a condition which was not healthy for student spirit. In or der to help solve the problem of participation at rallies, Bowerman felt that all rallies should be held in one location. In other discussion, the group decided that simple yells would be better than ones which required a great deal of action, time and words. Yells would be distributed to students early in the year, so that all students would be familiar with them by the time of the first game. Portable Bonfire Another suggestion made at the gathering was for -the students to Reed Editor Talks onRussia Z. The two ideologies of American ism and Communism can co-exist peacefully today. Dave Barney, Reed college editor, emphasized in a talk Thursday on his travels in Russia. Barney was one of six Ameri can, cdllege.editdrs selected to visit Russia three months ago. The group made a three-week, 5000 mile tour of the Soviet Union. In his speech. Barney said the Soviet people want peace as much as Americans. He described the Soviet people as “literally being saturated with peace talks.” Barney said a foreign exchange student program between the Uni ted States and Russia would be very good for promoting peace; but the U. S. McCarran Act makes this type of exchange with Russia nearly impossible. ‘ -There is an air of optimism pre valent among'the Soviet people, he said, and contributed this to Malenkov’s pledge “to promote greater abundance for the Soviet people.” Campaigns to “crush all obstacles in the way of progress,” and "against the production of shoddy and inferior.goods,” are a result of this optimism. The most surprising fact about Russia, Barney stated, Was. the extra - ordinary efficiency which comnrnn ownership and coopera tion of schools, factories and farms allowed. He commented up on the elaborate system of “re wards” the 'Communists use, for promoting incentive among the people.” The Russians take great pride in their educational system, and their claim pf 100 per cent literacy is “fairly correct.” Barney said, “A .college education is guaran teed to all who can qualify scho lastically. The Russian universities grant scholarships to about 90 per cent of their students.” ^Barney also showed films which he took in Russia. The lecture was sponsored by the University Press club, International Relations club, and Pi Sigma Alpha, political sci ence -honorary. SELL U THRU THE WANT ADS Don Wenrl, Classified Advertising Mgr.

Berg commented that the verse of the alma mater sounded fine at games, but that the students should also learn the chorus to it. The board also discus sed the possibility of singing the Oregon pledge song at the end of each game. Other items which were consid ered by the group included a port able bonfire machine, special ral lies for the Oregon State games, continuation of the white shirt section on the present basis and the possibility of making each freshman take a duck call whistle to each game.
