West Still Leads
In Atomic Arms
WASHINGTON (A I'M Presi
dent Kisenhower said Wednesday
the Western world still leads
Russia in atomic and hydrogen
weapons. But he said It is prob
lematical "how long that lead
can be sustained."
Kisenhower also told a news
conference:
"There cornea a time, possibly,
when a lead is not significant in
ihe defensive arrangements of a
country. If you get enough of a
particular type of weapon, I
doubt that it is particularly Im
portant to have a lot more of
It."
It would be unwise, the Presi
dent said, to attempt any fixed
conclusion as to whether Russia
might pull even with the West in
three or four years.
The chief executive's remarks
were touched off by a question
about a statement Tuesday by
Prime Minister Churchill of Brit
ain that the United States now
has many times as much
strength as ftussia in hydrogen
bombs. However, Churchill said
that in two to four years the
Soviets will he able to mount an j
all-out nuclear attack against
this country.
Churchill’s views are known to
coincide with those of top Am
erican strategists.
In reply to questions, the chief
executive touched on these' addi
tional topics:
Labor merger He said he
doubts that any organization re
sulting from the projected mer
ger of the AKL and CTO can set
itself up sm "the bosses of any
great number of Americans" in
"all phases of their political and
economic and cultural life." He
added a belief that "these people

DAY AT THE ZOO
(Continued from pane two)
\ came and ate the cousin for aft
ernoon tea, that's what.”
"Damn,” said the robin, and
sat down dejectedly. "You know,
if my nest were only closer to
the worms, I could meet the com
petition."
“Well, you > robins build the
nests. Heaven only knows no
Salubreeziea are silly enough to
go around balancing ourselves up
in some stickery old nest all our
lives.”
For a minute they sat there,
studying grammar. And then
the Salubree/.ie had nnr of
those mental flashes of light
ning that rend the chaff from
the grain and—well, he had an
idea.
"Robin." he said, putting his
■ arm pal-like around the robin's
shoulders (and robina have a
; hard type of shoulder to put your
arm around i. “If your nest was
j closer,1 it would be under the
I fog.”
"Right.”
“Well out of sight of people
I who are twenty-three feet tall.”
"Right.”
"So if you were that tall ymr
would get the terrible miseries in
' your back if you went around
bending under the fog to find
nests.”
"Right."
••Robin,” said the Saltt
hree/.ie, "here’s salt on your
tail!” And they went, off to
gether and smoked a big hunk
of moss. The next season all
the robins built their nests
under the fog. The twenty
three-foot tall (irahulgpiugger
went to work for a compnny
that screwed little brass knobs
on tops of flagpoles.
And the Northern Division
standings?
Well, the Salubreezies came
out second anyway but that's not
the important thing. A9 Mr.
Bones tried to explain to Mr.
Interlocutor, the game's the
thing I don't know the reason;
you just naturally feel like
chunking acorns when it's chunk
ing acorns season.
Tuition, Fees
For SU Traced
This Is th« second in a series !
of three articles on the student j
dollar and University finances, j
't'he third will appear in Fri
day’s Emerald.
By Sue Lamb
Emerald Reporter
Approximately $4.50 of the
Oregon student's $55 tuition fee j
goes to the Student Union and j
educational activities budget. |
What the individual student gets i
for his or her money makes a !
lengthy list.
Student government and ad
ministration, offices and facilities
for student activities, concert i
programs, food service and rec
reational facilities form only a j
partial list of the services made ’
available by the SU and its di
rectorate.
Here are the facts, as present
ed. by Si Ellingson, SU director. ;
"We don't attempt to make
any profit.” Ellingson explains.
"All we want to do is end up
with our books out of the red.”
SU income is drawn from two ,
main sources student fees and,
receipts from the use of facili-:
ties and services rendered.
Particular allocation of this in- 1
come toward the SU program is
made on an arbitrary basis, ac
cording to Ellingson, and the sys- i
tern of budgeting has been plan
ned and revised every year in
order to make the best possible
use of funds.
A student faculty committee,
known as the Student Union and
Educational Activities Budget
board, has charge of the distri
bution of the money. Any chan
ges or proposals for revision of
the budget are submitted to the
University president for ap
proval. Ellingson. as the board’s
agent, has the job of actual dis
persement of funds.
No particular percentage of
funds is allocated to any one ac
tivity or department with one ex
ception. Students pay 20 cents

per term for the concerts held in
McArthur Court.
The reason for this policy of no
specific percentages is the con
tinual fluctuation of enrollment.
If, for example, one dollar ras
allocated to a eertam organiza
tion every year, the change in
enrollment might well give the
group too much money one year
and not enough the next with
the ‘‘one dollar from every stu
dent policy in effect.’’
