Democrats Asserting
No Ultimatum to Morse
rUKTLANU-i AP)-The Demo
cratic party of Oregon is not
issuing any ultimatum to try to
force Sen. Wayne Morse into the
party, the state Democratic
chairman asserted here Wednes
day.
The chairman, Howard Mor
gan, described as "unfortunate”
a statement Tuesday by Monroe
Sweetland, the Democrats’ na
tional committeeman for Oregon.
One Portland political writer
said Sweetland's statement was
a "quasi-ultimatum” to Morse to
register as a Democrat.
"The attitude of the Democrat
ic party in Oregon toward Sen.
Morse has been well understood
by him for more than a year.
As state chairman I have talked
with him several times on the
subject, and so has National
Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell.
Nothing has been added to our
conversation by the unfortunate
and widely publicized statement,
described by the press as a quasi
ultimatum, which was made
Tuesday,” Morgan said.
Morse had said previously he
planned to run in 1956 as an
independent, but possibly might
register jus a Democrat to Join
others campaigning against Re
publican “reactionaries."
Sweetland commented that the
Democrats would welcome
Morse, but added that if Morse
ran as an independent he could
not expect the Democrats to help
him by putting up a weak Dem
ocratic candidate.
Morgan said he was pleased
with Morse’s statement that he
might join a group of Democrats
who are “fighting the Republi
can machine."
"As head of my party and as
one of the group to which Sena
tor Morse referred, I am posi
tive that no responsible mem
ber of that group could have
been thoughtless enough to con
front Morse with anything which
might be described as an ulti
matum," Morgan said.
Meanwhile a Portland news
paper telephoned Morse in Wash
ington, D.C., seeking amplifica
tion of his intentions, and quoted
the senator as saying that if in
the end he decides not to run as
an independent he will run.as an
"independent Democrat."

Operatic Star
Sings Tonight
a stria varnay, famed Met
ropolitan Opera Htar, will give a

Arthur court.
This concert will be present

versity Civic Music association

ber and she will not return to
her home in New York until
Dec. 12.
German Songs
The program for the evening
will include a group of German
songs which Miss Varnay will
do in English.
She told the Emerald that her
reason for singing these songs
in English is for the benefit of
an English audience.
The soprano will also do a
group of Italian songs in Italian,
and a series of French numbers
in French.
Academies Reject
Subject of Debate
The U.S. Military academy is
attempting to impose "militar
istic thought control upon uni
versities," according to Herman
Cohen, district chairman of the
National Debate tournament and
assistant professor of speech.
The cadets have refused to de
bate the topic, “Resolved: That
the United States Should Kxtend
Diplomatic Recognition to the
Communist Government of Chi
na." They have suggested that
farm price supports be discussed
as an alternate topic.
Too Controversial
The Naval academy also said
that they “will not debate an
established public policy.” The
Navy, according to Cohen, said
Oregana Wants
Candid Shots
University students now may
turn in candid pictures to the
Oregana for possible publication
in the yearbook.
The photos may be turned in
to Nancy Lidbeck, member of
the photography committee, at
the Oregona office any day from
4 until 5 p.m.
Pictures should be clear, with
the name and address of the
owner writen on a slip of paper
and attached to the snap.
Not Ordinary
Photos may be of any campus
activities not ordinarily seen in
yearbooks. Snaps of games, par
ties, picnics • or any other social
events will be accepted for con
sideration.
Students will receive no money
for their snaps, and the Ore
gana will not return the photos
to them, unless the pictures are
called for. Negatives need not
be turned in.
Oregana pictures of Tail Kap
pa Epsilon and Sigma Nu will!
be taken today.
Dark Suits Requested
Men will wear white shirts,
dark ties and dark blue suits.
Pin-striped suits will not be ac
ceptable.
John Shaffer, Oregana photog
raphy editor, has stressed that
students wishing makeup pic- j
tures to be scheduled must ap- j
pear at the Oregana office be-j
tween 4 and 5 p.m. today through ,
Wednesday. No pictures will be
rescheduled after that day.
Philadelphia house and Pi Kap
pa Alpha pictures are scheduled
to be taken Monday. Pi Kappa
Phi and Sederstrom hall will i
have their pictures taken Tues- j
day.
that the subject was “too contro
versial” and added that the
academy "could not permit ca
dets to take the side of the com
munists.”
The Naval academy, which
last week cancelled an engage
ment to debate the topic with
Princeton, announced that the
order not to discuss the subject
came from the State department.
The State department denied
any knowledge of the affair and
the Military academy would
make no explanation of the rea
son for its stand.
“Such thought control has not
previously been attempted in this
country,” Cohen said, “but it was
common in Germany while a dic
tatorship controlled the coun
try.”
The academy’s decision not to
debate creates a problem, Cohen
said, because the West Point
National Invitational Debate
Tournament will probably not be
held.
Rose Bowl of'Debating
Karl Harshbarger and Don
Mickelwait represented Oregon
last year at the tournament
which Cohen called “the Rose
Bowl of debating teams.”
Cohen said that he felt that
“any substantive change in the
question would not be in the
best interests of the schools in
the United States which are al
ready debating the topic.”
The Intercollegiate Forensics
Association of Oregon, last Oct.
30, passed a resolution favoring
the use of the selected topic even
if the Military academy is un
able to entertain the national
tournament this year as a result.
Her operatic selections for the
concert will include an aria by
Richard Strauss, and an aria
from Verdi’s “Don Carlo.”
No Wagner Arias
Miss Vamay, who is a well
known Wagnerian singer, will
not sing any arias of Wagner in
her concert.
She said, however, that she
plans to use Wagnerian arias for
encores.
Miss Varnay will continue
singing concerts until around the
first of the year, when she will
make her first appearance with
the Metropolitan Opera in the
Opera “Tannhausdr.”
“This opera will be broadcast
over the Metropolitan Opera of
the Air,” Miss Varnay said.
Husband Accompanies Her
Appearing with Miss Vamay
as her accompanist will be her
husband, Herman Weigert, who
is equally well known in the
world of music.
He has been closely associated
with many of the foremost oper
atic figures in tTie past three
decades. Weigert has served as
coach and assistant conductor for
the Met for several years.
It was Weigert who readied the
great Kirsten Flagsted, Miss
Varnay’s predecessor in the
Bruennhilde and Isolde roles, for
her Metropolitan successes.
Miss Varnay arrived in Eugene
Wednesday and has been resting
for her performance at the Os
burn hotel.
IFC Examines
Pledge Fees
Only a small part of the $5
fee charged each pledge is used
by the Inter-fraternity council,
Andy Berwick reported to the
IFC Thursday night.
Berwick told the group that
the committee investigating how
the money is spent has not yet
found all the facts but that it
seems most of the money is used
to finance orientation week and
the Ore-N-ter.
If this is the case, Berwick
said the Ore-N-ter should devote
more space to fraternity life
since the pledge fee seems to be
the only source of revenue for
the pamphlet.
tVard Cook reported that the
IFC has collected $721.24 for the
Sweitzer memorial fund and that
there is still some money out
standing.
The IFC decided to urge houses
of about the same size be paired
for intramural games and to see
that there be both an independent
and a Greek officiating at games
between fraternities and inde
pendent living organizations.
The group noted a suggestion
made by Mrs. Golda Wickham,
associate director of student af
fairs, that house-hopping at
house dances to be held to a mini
mum.
