SAE's Kidnap UnwaryPledges Ily PHIL. IMOKIl KmrrHld Ffalure Kill I or Approximately 50 freshmen women wore skillfully deceived Sunday by members of Sigma Al pha Epsilon fraternity. The girls, three pledges chosen from each aorority on campus, were "kidnapped" by the SAK'n to what Is now an annual affair with the fraternity. The HAE's followed this pro cedure in luring the young Inno cents Into the trap: • First they called the presi dents of sororlths and asked them to have three pledges at their houses for “Emerald* pictures." • Then, the SAK's, charitable fellows that they arc, volunteered to pick up the girla and give them "a tide to the Emerald." • After the girls were picked up, the ,SAE'h nonchalantly men tioned that the first picture "for the Emerald” would be taken at the SAIC house "just to give the house a little publicity.” The pledges demurely strolled up the steps to discover that they’d been lured Into the "An nual SAK Pledge Kidnap.” But in this kidnap there were no ransom notes, phone calls or FBI Investigations. The girls were pledged into the ’’Daughters of Minerva,” an elite group open only to kidnapees of the HAE's. Entertainment was presented, and cider and donuoghts served to the girls. Then they were re leased from captivity, free to go about their usual activities of the day. Maybe the girls enjoyed this kidnapping and maybe they didn’t. But you can bet your life savings that the SAE's had a ball. Douqlas Blasts McKay Record < l onlinued front /xuie one) food-processing industries. nml headed by the "pious Kr.ru Taft Benson." Douglas again hit the Admin istration on Dtxon-Yates, charg ing that the Administration waa trying to break up TVA. The so-called "double standard" of the nation’s press was attacked by Douglas when he said that when Democrats uncover Inci dents of corruption in the Ad ministration, the press gives It only passing notice. If Republi cans do the same he said, most of the papers across the nation give large play to the story He criti cized what he called "unsancti montous hypocrites who walk with the Bible in one hand and a bucket of tar in the other.” Douglas praised the Democratic ticket saying that Adlai Steven son is the best qualified presi dential candidate, intellectually, since Woodrow Wilson. Kefauver, he said, was a fighter for the little man. Douglas also spoke briefly of the local and state can didates running in Oregon. Morse’s Record Noted The Democratic senatorial can didate, Wayne Morse, \Douglas said, is the “best Senator in America today,” and "the best lawyer in the Senate." Douglas t taced the rise of Morse from Dean of the University of Oregon Law School, to labor arbitrator on the Pacific waterfront during World War II, to member of the War Labor Board, and finally to United Staten Senator. Douglas aaid that Morse's rec ord haa gained him the "love of milliona and the hatred of thou sands," and haa the "best set, of enemies in the United States." which "I would be proud" to have. Morse, in his introduction of Douglas to the crowd of about 500, said that rallies such as the one at which he was speaking are "putting fear into the Republi cans." He said that the 1956 Dem ocratic ticket, both state and national, is the greatest in the history of the Democratic party Adlai Stevenson is a man "talk ing sense," Morse said, and is attracting many voters at the giass-roots of America.” Morse, in speaking of his own contest with Douglas McKay for the Senate, said that on the morn ing of November 7, McKay can go back to his struck garage in Salem and start selling Cadillacs ! again."
