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. fi/tOncuiedC 6a#Aefc, yocc 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.
