Inalienable right to break the
established traditions, even to
the point of breaking this one.
A person has the right to be a
conformist, though I believe
that anyone who has a mind
that ran decide what a complete
conformist is has enough left
over to think out his own life.
Throughout our entire Amer
ican way of life the Individual
has this right to be different.
This right does not stop at the
limits of a university campuH,
particularly a public Institution.
As for any enforcement of cam
pus traditions, there is no moral,
no legal, and no ethical Justifi
cation for it whatever. Even If
the student body should approve
a tradition by some six thou
sand to one, that one stllj need
not comply if he does not wish
to.
Every tradition should be
broken, at. leant to some extent,
If only to Insure the privilege
of doing so. The tradition-break
er deserves the respect of all, as
one who has the courage to be
different. Any person, especially
those who are our society lead
ers, (and I include here mem
bers of student councils), who
would suggest that traditions
should is; enforced is a positive
threat to the free society in
which we live.
Such persons arc undermining
the one right that guarantees
all the others of which our coun
try is proud, the right of a mi
nority, even if only one person,
to do as he pleases. No tradition
that must be enforced is worth
enforcing. If it cannot stand of
its own strength, then it is bet
ter to let it fall.

at the beginning the movement,
in its immediate objectives was
not nntl-comm»inintlc. We Just
tried t«» follow that Independent
and individual road to socialism
B&K were talking about in
Belgrade anno 15ir>4. We, still
not understanding the Soviet's
policy, believed that we are
within the limits that was per
missible to a satellite. In Hun
gary no one was prepared for
a revolution and what's more, no
one wanted one. That such a
conflict occurred was the gov
ernment's failure to evaluate
the internal situation. In agree
ment with the Western "special
isin' they must have believed
that intimidation and indoctri
nation might overcome the hate
of the people.
Here the question arises
whether tlie revolution was or
ganized or not. The for some un
comprehcnslble reason is NO.
This would not Is* impossible as

terror, and now I feel sorry that

so perfect that Hitler's contri

Ttiis is the reason that in the

during the 12 years of the class

their appreciation for it. When

have never learned the meaning
of liberty. Of courae in a govern
ment clans you can get a good
definition, but liberty will still
be a cold concept to you. In
order to really appreciate lib
erty you have to lose it first:
only the oppressed ones know
what it is.
Liberty means something dif
ferent to all of us. Sometimes

’ Most people I met thought that
the Hungarians were fighting
for a bigger slice of bread or
something like a car. This in
dicates that the person is as
materialistic as Marx himself.
People are unwilling to die for
more food or a car, even if it is
a Cadillac. The one to whom
liberty can be defined in dollars
is going to be a bad guardian of
it: he will never be able to sac
rifice something for it.
When I talk about Hungary
to someone I can always see
how sorry my listener is for
Hungary and me. It is not neces
sary to feel that way. By feeling
sorry not too much is done yet.
Anyhow, if you want to feel
sorry you could feel sorry for
yourself, as finally it should be
learned that whenever the cause
of democracy loses some place,
everybody's democracy has lost
too.
None of us should ever forget
that we are not really free while
any of our fellow men do not
enjoy our freedom, while there
are forced labor camps, MWD’s

Men are getting recognition
after long rule of women
By HAL BOVLE
NEW YOKK OP) Hail to the
American male!
After a long eclipse, he is again
getting some recognition and at- i
tention. Again there is some ad- j
vantage in being a man in this
country.
Mister, haven’t you noticed
lately the way the womenfolk
seem to appreciate you more ?
Women Dominate
For a whole generation, except j
for a four-year period in the Sec- j
ond World War when he was!
found useful for carrying a gun, 1
the American male has been low
rated, both here and abroad.
Abroad, he was looked down
upon as a henpecked, defrocked ;
rooster, who spoiled his women
and his children and let them both
run over him. As a lover boy, the
international set ranked him zero.
In his homeland the attitude
wasn't much better. A man be
came something women took for
granted, something they are first
demanded equal rights from, then
gradually began to feel superior
to.
Equality at Sink
Women took over men’s hair
cuts, their slacks, jobs, sports,
politics, their vocabulary—even
their razors. The only place a
husband felt himself an equal
partner in the home was at the
kitchen sink —-* at dishwashing
time.
America became a world in
which women did most of the
talking, most of the dominating.

School of business
schedules program
This year the school of busi- i
ness administration will sponsor
for the first time a supplemental
training program for business
leaders in the Northwest known
as the "Executive Development
Program."
L'O Prof Directs
Designed to assist industry in
better preparing men for respon
sible positions in their organiza
tions, the program will begin im
mediately following the end of
spring term, June 15 to July 3,
and will be directed by C. F. Zie
barth, associate professor of busi
ness administration.
A broad approach will be pur
sued in the three-week program.
Emphasis will be placed upon the
overall problems of the company
and integrated areas of manage
ment rather than on specialized
fields of business administration.
Participants will concentrate
their attention in three areas of
management: “Business Organi
zation and Manpower Manage
ment," during the first week;
"Profit Planning and Cost Con
trol," the second week; and "Busi
ness Forecasting and Financial
Problems,” during the last week.
BA Men on Faculty
The session's faculty will be
drawn from senior faculty mem
bers of the school of business ad
ministration and from men in in
dustry who have had experience
in executive development pro
grams.
According to Ziebarth, the pro
gram has already met with very
favirable reception by Oregon
businessmen.
Rehabilitation program
planned by University
The University's department of
psychology has announced that
applications are now being re
ceived for admission to the gradu
ate training program in rehabili
tation counseling.
This is a two-year program
leading to a master’s degree and
is open to college graduates with
a good academic record.
Graduates of this program are
qualified for employment as re
habilitation counselors in private
and public agencies and organi
zations which provide rehabilita
tion services to persons with phy
sical or mental disabilities.

ber U.S. men by two million, ap
pear to be trying to reverse this
trand. They are belatedly at
tempting to save the weaker sex
from extinction. The idea of hav
ing to listen to themselves in a
world without men appalls them.
And the American male, single
or married, is reaping wondrous
benefits. He is being courted and
pampered in a way he does not
remember.
“I know half a dozen fine young
girls under 25 who want to get
married and have come to me Tor
help,” said a matron. “But where
are the bachelors? I don’t know
a one to introduce them to.”
A smart boy used to have to
sell magazines to get through
college. Now, if he is smart, he
can pick and choose between any
number of girls, sound of wind
and tooth, more than eager to
marry him and work his way
through school for him.
Mowing for the Women
Wives also now realize that,
if they want their husbands to
survive, they'd better not try to
work them to death around the
house as well as in the office. In
the suburbs you see more and
more wives steering the power
mower over the lawn while the
old man sits on the front porch,
sipping a long, cool drink.
Yep. boys, it's the new heyday
of the American iftale. Women are
taking better care of us. The rea
son behind it may be a bit hard
on our vanity—the fact they’ve
found we re delicate and perish
able and must be handled with
care—but so what ?
If we can’t be looked up to,
well—it’s still nice to be looked
after. ~~ -
