MORE TOMORROW
Rains Continue
To Douse Ducks
By Bob Robinson
Em«rald Aunttnt Ntwi Editor
Monday afternoon's pelting
rainfall ended a brief clear spell
in one of the gloomiest Aprils
the University has even seen.
The rain, which held off most
of Sunday while the sun occa
sionally peeked through the
cloudy skies, returned in full
force at shortly after noon Mon
day.
Oregon students had hopes at
mid-morning for a second day
without the soggy wetness. Don
Kirsch’s baseball team thought
there was a possibility of getting
In its first Northern Division
baseball game of the season
against the Idaho Vandals. A
few optimistic students even
went so far as to don their spring
clothes as they trudged to their
first morning classes.
The clouds, evidently observing
the jovial hopefulness on the Ore
gon campus, congregated at

$2 section and are being sold to

for $1.
.about 11 Monday morning- and a
little more than an hour later
they were spraying enough water
! on campus to dampen even the
i fondest hopes.
The weather bureau, which has
i given just about the same fore
' cast each day for the past two
weeks (unfortunately it has con
sistently been right i. gave an
other of the same to the Emerald
Monday afternoon. The forecast
is for partly cloudy skies and
j more rain today and tonight. Al
though the bureau wouldn't give
out any official prediction for
the rest of the week, it did point
; out that it has no hopes for clear
ing weather in the next four or
five days.
According to the bureau the
rainfall for this month has been
way over the average for a nor
mal April. Rainfall has been 4.08
inches this month as compared
to a normal of 2.54 inches. This
figure does not include any of
Monday's tain so it is sure to be
much higher in a short time.
University students can only
hope that the old axiom that
‘April showers bring May flow
ers” will come true this spring.

Manson Sums Up Christian Ethics
By Kay Macy
Emerald Reporter
The basis of Christian ethics
is summed up in the Oid Testa
ment quotation, "Ye shall be as
Holy as I am Holy,” T. W. Man
son, noted theologist, said in a
lecture Monday night.
Manson went on to give an
interpretation of the quotation,
"Be ye perfect as He is perfect,”
saying that some distinction
must be made between perfection
and absolute perfection.
He said the only specifically
new thing in Christian ethics is
Jesus’ injunction to “love one
another as I have loved you,” in
stead of the command to "love
thy neighbor as thy self.”
Manson explained that the
Lord loved in a less selfish way
than man would love.
He compared men following
Jesus to students following a
great painter. Both are under the
influence of their leader, yet
must apply his teachings to their
own situations, he said.
Progress doesn’t come by copy
ing old masters, but from seeing
what they have seen through our
own eyes and applying it to pres
ent day needs, he continued.
Not a Mystery
Christian ethics lie before man
not as a mythical mystery, but j
as a road which ho can travel
with Jesus’ aid and guidance,
Manson concluded.
The speaker is professor of
Biblical Criticism and Exegesis
in the University of Manchester,
England. He served in the First
and Second World Wars and has
received honorary degrees from
the Universities of Glasgow,
Cambridge and Strasbourg.
He will meet with Westminster
foundation students tonight at
5:30, at which time he will an
swer questions about religions
and university attitudes in other
parts of the world.
he was jailed for several weeks
and his writings banned from all
Italian publications. With the aid
of the Rockefeller Foundation
the former law professor came
to the United States where he
became a citizen in 1939.
In 1933 he joined the newly
established Graduate Faculty of
the New School for Social Re
search, where he has been a
faculty member ever since. After
two years of being dean there,
he resigned to work for the gov
ernment.
Te directed intelligence and
propaganda work in Latin Am
erica and traveled in most of the
I^atin American countries. For
the economic and political re
habilitation of Italy, he started
an American Foundation Handi
crafts Development, Inc. in 1945.
Since coming to this country
he has written frequent articles
for magazines and five books, the
latest being “The Power of Free
dom,” and “The Fail of Mus
solini.”
All students are welcome to
