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.

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."
