+ EMERALD EDITORIALS + Unappreciated Culture It will be an all-University student pro gram Thursday night. We are referring to the annual Creative Arts Workshop, spon sored by the Student Union board. All of the material for the workshop was prepared by students, and all of the participants in the program are students. The SU Board is to be congratulated for providing such an outlet for the display of Oregon talent. Such a program can and should do much to encourage the creative aspects of education on the campus—a de sirable situation. There's just one thing: how many students will be there to appreciate the work of their classmates? We doubt if there w ill be many, and it seems rather poor to let all of the ef fort which has gone into the Workshop go unappreciated, as is the case with most Uni versity cultural events. We don't pretend to know what the solu tion to the problem of poor attendance at such events is. Perhaps in this case, the sug gestion to combine it with the Browsing Room program next year will help future programs. But meanwhile, we hope at least a few students will take the opportunity to view the work of their fellows Thursday night. — (S.R.) Sweet Music At 7 o'clock this evening, just before the Creative Arts Workshop program, the Uni versity’s concert band will hold a “pops’’ concert in the amphitheater cast of the music school. Needless to say, the program has been well planned and includes a variety, of num bers—everything front a portion of a sym phony to marches. We listened to the group practicing the other afternoon and, to our untrained ears, it sounded excellent. We particularly enjoyed one of their selections entitled "La Fiesta Mexicana." Incidentally, tonight will be the first time this particular number has been presented in the Northwest. \\ ith the outdoor setting and the fine mu sic, we're sure that students will find this evening’s concert relaxing and enjovable. —(V.K.)

ROBERTS AP News Analyst Although it represents no fun damental change in the situation, Chou En-Lai’s statement that Red China will move toward ac quisition of Formosa “by peace ful means as far as possible" does tend to ease Far Eastern tension, at least for the moment. The Peiping regime is left, of course, free to determine how far is possible. Chou’s emphasis on the atti tude of the Bandung Confer ence, however, makes it dear his latest words are directed largely to that audience, which College Capers... From Coast to Coast By Elliot Carlson Emerald Columnist THE UNIVERSITY OF ORE GON is not the only school that is having higher fees imposed upon its students for the coming year. Resident students at the University of Washington have had their fees hiked $6 for fall term while non-resident students Will have to dig up another $31. A Washington official has said that the only thing that could cure their “budgetitis” is either a winning football team or increased enrollment. With W'ashington’s football team at Minnesota, they’d bet ter hope for an increased en rollment. Even though Minne sota has the ex-Husky quarter back their fees have also been raised five per cent. It’s ironic that if schools did not subsidize football players they probably wouldn’t have bud get trouble. Yet the only answer to unbalanced budgets are win ning football teams which can only be organized by subsidizing more football players. As a re sult even with a winning foot ball team the dilemma continues, and is frequently enlarged. * * * THERE SEEMS TO BE a tide developing against military training in colleges. At their re cent state convention state Young Democrats passed a reso lution denouncing ROTC pro grams in colleges. Now George Burcham, Associated Peace Sec retary of the American Friends Service Committee, spoke at Stamford University declaring that apathy demonstrated by Stanford students on UMT is typical of all colleges. He attributed the lack of interest to a basic American drive to conform which has built up from fear of Russian Communism, and from the 14 year Selective Service program —“military training which has destroyed, in part, our will ingness to be critical.” Although Burcham said the military is sincere in its aims, he charged that the goal of UMT is an effort to gain control of the American puoiie. * * AN IRATE WASHINGTON STATE college student wrote a letter to the editor there pro testing to the “bitter, black, horrible . . . mud flow” to be found at the WSC version of the cellar. The perturbed student con tinued that “nothing he had ever found in the whole United States and the army” compared to that coffee. It’s obvious that this bumpkin has never tried the tempting java served at the Erb. £ * * THINGS BEING BANNED DEPT. The fever of banning re nowned people from college aud iences is spreading. First the U. of W. rejected Oppenheimer and now Stanford is getting into the act. Recently when Patti Waggin, a respectable burles que dancer, was scheduled to perform for the Stanford TV station her appointment was can celled because she was pro claimed as "not in keeping with the dignity of the University." serves as something of a guar antee that he will not imme diately violate them. In other words. Red China will do a lot more talking before she com mits herself militarily. Even though American policy as represented by the Seventh Fleet practically assures no at tack on Formosa under present circumstances- because the Reds know it couldn’t succeed—Chou’s statement permits continuation of the current ‘‘feeler’’ operations in a better atmosphere. The Chinese Nationalists -and most observers as well—will see little in it but guilt. It does, as they say, represent another ef fort to set up a Far Eastern Munich. It does tend to shift the burden for further approaches to negotiation to the United States. Chou, with a wily turn of phrase, says negotiations are ‘‘daily becoming the unanimous demand” of nations and peoples who want to see peace. That comes only a few days after President Eisenhower's reference to a similar demand for Big Four negotiations over Europe. The statement completely fails to meet the recent British re quest that Chou enlarge upon his Bandung suggestion for negotia tions with the United States. He merely adds “alternate” ways, without specification, to the orig inal Communist suggestion, made by Russia, that a 10-nation conference be held. Most of the other phraseology follows closely that of his Bandung announce ment. Red China, like the United States, continues to avoid com mitments about Quemoy and Matsu, the offshore islands which were recently a focal point for a wordy hassle in the United States as to whether they should be included in America’s firm determination to defend Formosa. As the days pass, however,— and it has now become a month since some people expected a crisis—the Red buildup on the adjacent mainland which set off the excitement appears to have been designed more to bolster Peiping’s diplomatic hand than as an immediate military threat. A DAY AT THE ZOO Formal Education And Gay Springtime Are Not Compatible By Bob Funk Emerald Columniit He was sitting in the class room. listening to some more glarp about embryonic pigs. They had been on embryonic pigs ever since he could remember. They did not remind him of sex or T-bone steaks or strong drink or money from home. In other words, he was not interested in them. How the hell did I ever get in side this classroom; that Is the question. He was not getting into very ninny classrooms this term. His con icience spent nost of its time ioing strength ening calisthen cs, but even so t was never nuscular .‘nough to get he rest of him ip in the morn ng. And then, in the afternoon: will, you .sim ply could not waste your after noon going to class. It was the Code of the Quad. When the sun shines, so does primrose path to dalliance. “...will i»e on this lust mid term we’re having a week from Wednesday,” the professor wus saying. I may have completely peeled away due to sunburn by a week from Wednesday, he thought. Or maybe MUM will have asked me to eome to Hollywood to kiss Marilyn •Monroe seventeen times In sev enteen different plaees in a movie called “Escape from Oregon.” The girl next to him bothered him. She was wearing one of those dresses which make damn ed good and sure that in the spring the young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. He wondered what would hap pen if he suggested that they leave this den of crass education and spend the rest of the after noon drinking mixed drinks on the terrace of the SU. He imag ined that she would say no. She looked like she was probably go ing with a football player who weighed 300 pounds and thump'd anyone who approached his gii| into hie own particular brand ol tomato aspic. Still, that was a very nice dress. He seemed to be sliding lower into his seat; at least, he had been sitting in it, originally, and now his shoulderblades were rest ing on the place he had been sit ting. Visibility of the professor was very poor, but he could still catch a word now and then about embryonic pigs. This little j.ig went to mar ket; this little pig; and then he was asleep, moaning slightiy. There was a thunderous stir, and he realized that the bell had rung. He got up from his semi prone position only to be hit in lh< kisser by n swish of his depart ing neighbor's crinoline. He looked at hi* notes; May IS, i he notes said. More about those slimey pigs. And then there was a big blank space that had two little inked-in doodles and JAN'K in large, tastefully conceived letters. Then there were the lines from a poem the rest of which he would never write "since some EE-rotic tulip got stoned on a Julep and eloped with a sweet talking bee." He walked out of the class room and Into the sunshine, there was nothing out there hut more girls In more of those dresses, and a long line of cars heading up the river. How bor ing. he thought. How mun dane. How ran 1 kid myself so much. Answer; it's because you’re such a clever dawg, boy. Two ladies that looked like they were getting their fifteenth PhDs in marriage and the fam ily walked by. "And she had the loveliest chicken salad, with those new blue pottery plates and it was really very attractive.'• The other lady smiled apprecia tively. He thought one last fleet ing thought about embryonic pigs, and then began following a group of three particularly well starched crinolines to the stu dent union. It is a mistake, he thought, to try to get a formal education in the spring. Wage Question Arises By Rowland Evans, Jr. WASHINGTON IAP)-A re ported squabble within the Eisen hower administration over mini mum wage proposals broke into the open Wednesday when the La bor Department refused to recom mend that specific new groups of workers be included within the minimum wage law. Sen. Douglas. D-Ill., chairman of a Senate labor subcommittee, charged the administration with "an attempt to weasel out" of what he called its previous recom mendation that protection of the wage floor be extended to more than two million retail and whole sale workers. Stuart Rothman, acting wage hour administrator, told the sub committee the Labor Department was not specifically recommend ing expanded coverage to the two million workers. He said it simply was asking that Congress “seriously consider” whether the minimum wage should not be extended to them in addition to the 2\ million already covered, and was proposing a boost in the minimum, now 75 cents an hour, to »0 cents. oe'ecjor? .
