I/O Clubs Offer Variety, Interest By Lee Peters Emerald Feature Writer The many clubs on the Oregon campus give students an oppor-! tunity to meet, work and have fun with other students with sim- i ilar interests. Nearly any student can find a group to interest him in the organizations, which range from the Propeller club for stu dents interested in the shipping industry, to the Orchesis, a mo- * dern dance group. They provide . extra-curricular activities in many varied fields. Three of these groups have as their primary interest interna tional affairs and people. Two of the clubs are active now, and the 1 third has its charter and organi-; station set up but is anxious to have more members. Cosmo Plans Social Events Cosmopolitan club, which meets 1 every Friday, provides a chance for foreign and American stu-; dents to become acquainted at, social events. The group's pro grams, which vary greatly from; meeting to meeting, usually in-i elude planned or impromptu en-' tertainment as well as social j ' dancing and opportunities just to! talk. Last year’s Cosmo club traveled ! to Crater Lake for one of the! special programs. IKC Discusses World Affairs The second club in this group 1 is the International Relations club. Its purposes and functions differ markedly from those of1 Cosmo in that this group ap-1 proaches the international aspect with a view toward world affairs. IRC gives students a chance to talk over current world prob-. lems. Group members meet to ex "ehar.ge ideas on the politics and economics of the world.

PCC May Boycott Televised Football SAN FRANCISCO-(AP) -If the National Collegiate Athletic as sociation doesn't adopt a nation ally-controlled regional television policy, Pacific Coast Conference football teams won't take part in their television programs this fall. Athletic directors and facuty representatives of the nine PCC institutions took that stand in a meeting here Sunday. The PCC said it would urge the NCAA television committee to I abandon its “Game of the Week" policy of 1954 or any other plan that excludes regional television. Otherwise, the PCC "will then find it necessary to exercise its rights, and those of its member j institutions, which they have as | members of the NCAA, to abstain I from participation in any such j television programs." The explosive television issue was bi-ought to a vote on the con- j vention floor at the NCAA meet- J ing in New York earlier this | month. "Of the 200 voting, only about 40 wanted regional TV," Cassill said. Oregon Blue Book j Publication Set SALEM-tAP)-The Oregon Blue!

New bry said Thursday. 18-Year-Old Credited With Murder Solution PANAMA (APi — The pretty j lS-year-old sweetheart of a far mer military school cadet was credited in widespread reports Sunday with helping police crack the mystery of President Jose i Remon's assassination Jan. 2. Probe of the strong-man Pres ident’s machine gun slaying at Juan Franco race track took a spectacular turn Friday when the National Guard surrounded the home of President Jose Ra mon Guizado and put Remon’s successor under house arrest. The National Assembly Sat urday impeached Guizado and ordered him arrested and tried on a charge of plotting Remon’s assassination after a prominent lawyer, Ruben Miro, confessed he slew Remon with Guizado’s full knowledge. The attractive girl now assign ed by popular report to a key role in breaking the case is Glad us Vives, daughter of a veteran I Panama secret policeman and j sweetheart of’Jose Edgardo Te jada, former Panamanian cadet at a Guatemalan polytechnic school. Tejada confessed he smuggled the death weapon into Panama and sold it to Miro between mid September and early October for $150. U.S.-educated Miro said in his confession to District Attorney Francisco Alvarado he had con ferred with Guizado several times prior to Remon’s assassi nation and that Miro had been offered the cabinet post of min ister of government and justice as his reward. Tejada acknowledged in his confession he had told his sweet heart about the plot on Remon’s life without telling her Miro had bought the machine gun. He said he stabbed his right hand and stayed away from the Panama capital in order to keep out of the actual assassination. The city-wide reports of Glad ys’ connection with the case gave this account: She told her story to her po liceman father. He went to a 1 a \v y e r relative, repeated the story, and was advised to have Gladys tell the high police au thorities herself what she knew. Whether the girl will claim a j share in the approximately $100,- j 000 reward offered for clues to j Remon's slayer w as not know n j Sunday. Another prospective claimant i for the reward is a Roman Cath olic priest, Father Carlos Barez Herrera. Officials said Carlos Miro, brother of the confessed assassin, told the priest on the ' street one day Ruben Miro was plotting to kill the President. Father Paiez Herrera passed the word along to Remon, who ; did nothing more than report it to his close associates, the oAi cials said. «■ ■ ■ Over-Emphasis of Rosy Side, Humphrey Charges WASHINGTON (Art - Hen. Humphrey (D-Minn) wild Sunday the Elsenhower administration is putting more emphasis "on the rosy part of the international picture" than the facts warrant. Humphrey, n member of the Senate Foreign Relations commit tee, also said in an Interview that although he will support the For mosa mutual defense pact he "strongly" favore an eventual United Nations trusteeship for the island republic of China, That treaty, in effect a written promise by the United States to I come to the aid of Formosa In any attack by Red China, is! scheduled for committee study later this month. Sen. Knowland (R-Culif), the minority leader, said in a separ-j ate interview he would support the defense pact even though "it may not be everything either we or Chang Kai-Shek desire." He said that on balance the ‘ treaty contains "advantages" toj both nations. Knowland is a member or tin* r*oreign neiaimru committee. A third committee member, Sen. Mansfield (D-Mont), pre dicted that "eventually Kcd China will take Borne action to bring Formosa and the Pescadores Islands into its orbit." •‘in lime," Mansfield said in a television interview, “there will be a showdown on the Formosan situation." He «|)ok<! out in favor of the defense pact with Chlang Kai-Shek, however, and said the chance of its taking the United States into total war is "very small."
