Byron Was Arch Satirist
Trueblood Tells Audience
By Joan Kraus
Em«r«ld Reporter
“Lord Byron was an arch
satirist and critic,’’ said P. G.
Trueblood, visiting professor of
English and one of the leading
authorities on Byron, in his
browsing room lecture last night
in the Student Union.
The purpose of his lecture was
to show that Byron has the same
significance today as the period
in which he wrote. "In the early
19th century Byron was recog
nized as a champion of liberty,”
Trueblood said. “He was the
houthpiece of the rebellious spirit
of his time.
“Byron represented the voice
of rebellion against the holy
alliance. He had a profound con
viction about freedom.
“He was confronted many
years ago with the issues which
confront us today. He speaks our
language. We need Byron’s po
litical wisdom and his stimulus
to action."
Trueblood's lecture was com
posed of excerpts of his recently
completed book. The subject of
the lecture was entitled “Lord
Byron: Champion of Freedom.”;
Trueblood was recently ap
pointed to the head of the de
partment of English at Willam
ette university and will start
there next fall. Previous to this
year, he taught at the University
of Washington and has been a
Fellow of the American Council
of Learned Societies.

Students Safer With New Walks
Oregon students, fair gume for
cars, trucks, and busses since the
disappearance of the horse and
l buggy, now have the latest in
: safety devices available under
law and physical limitations.
The two new crosswalks on
campus one connecting Com
| monwealth hall with the Condon
Chapman area and the other
linking Johnson and Kenton halls
will eliminate the need foi
dodging traffic on East 13th
while classes are in session.
Requested by Eugene Traffic
Engineer Lee D. Kies and ap
proved Monday night by the city
council, the crosswalks require
cars to stop when students are
| crossing the street between tin
white lines anytime during the
day.
Kies advises students to use
the crosswalks at nil times ex
rcpt between classes (wlien the
signals are on) pedestrians
have no recourse to legal action
if they’re struck by a car out
aide of the crosswalks.
Oregon's statutes (ORS 4S3.
210) provide that "Kvery pedes
trian crossing a roadway at any
place other than within a mark
ed or unmarked crosswalk Hhall
yield the right of way to ve
hicles tin the roadway," and that
”,.. the Commission and local
authorities in their respective
Jurisdictions may establish mark
ed crosswalks and designate
them upon the street or highway
by properly marking signs or
signals."
So, Oregon students can still
he hit by passing cars, but now
they ran collect damages
thanks to the local authorities.

Why it’s wise to
hold U.S. Savings Bonds
more than 10 years
By Homer J. Livingston, President of
The First National Bank of Chicago and
President, American Bankers Association
Like millions of other Americans, you
probably know that our government’s Series
E Savings Bonds rank among the surest,
safest and best investments in the world. But
I wonder if you realize that an extremely
attractive feature has been added to them.
Today, you no longer need cash your Bonds
at maturity (9 years, 8 months after pur
chase) . You can hold them for as long as 19
years, 8 months. And this enables you to get
a far greater total yield from them, since the
interest paid on Savings Bonds is cumulative.
That is to say, your Bonds pay interest not
only on the principal, hut on the accumu
lated interest itself! Now, the longer you hold
your Bonds the bigger this accumulation gets
— and, correspondingly, the more money
your Bonds pay in interest every year.
I! you invested $37.50 in a Savings Bond ten
years ago, it could be redeemed for $50.00
today. You would make $12.50. But if you
keeD that Bond for ten more years, you will
make a total of $29.84 on your original in
vestment. In other words, if you hold your
U. S. Savings Bonds for double their original
period, your total yield is considerably more
than just double.
So, if you can possibly arrange it, hold your
Bonds for the maximum period—19 years,
8 months. You don’t have to sign any papers
or visit your bank to do this. The extended
earning period is automatic.
And, of course, go on investing in U. S.
Series E Savings Bonds—through the Pay
roll Savings Plan where you work. If self
employed, invest in Savings Bonds regu
larly where you bank.
Want your interest paid as
current income?
Invest in 3% Series H.
United States Government Series H
Bonds are new current income Bonds
in denominations of $500 to $10,000.
Redeemable at par after 6 months and
on 30 days’ notice. Mature in 9 years, 8
months and pay an average of 3% per
annum if held to maturity. Interest
paid semiannually by Treasury check.
Series H may be purchased through
any bank. Annual limit: $20,000.
