The Oregon Dotty EMERALD Vol. LX UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1959 No. 112 Humphrey called likely candidate By LINDA WILLIAMS Kmc raid Stall Writer Who will be the Democrat's presidential candidate next year? One very likely prospect is the lively and talkative Senator Hu bert Humphrey who will be speaking ut (i University Assem bly Wednesday morning at 10 In M< Arthur Court. Senator Humphrey hailH from Minnesota, a comparatively small state, and this fact is a definite disadvantage to him in his race for the presidential nomination. Nevertheless, he has( been listed as one of the four top contenders along with Stuart Symington, Jack Kennedy and Adlai Steven son. . Organizes political machine Some people think that he owes this enviable position to his S1* hour that with Nikita Khrushchev during his visit to Russia. It is true that the Khrushchev inter view was a help, but there is also Faculty 'athletes' decline challenge The Willamette University ( ollcge of Law issued a chal lenge to ‘two or more” of the I nHcrsity’% law sellout faculty for an inter - school tennis mutch, according to a tetter welled by Dean Orlando Hollis. Hollis gracefully declined the offer—in the best legal lan guage. In a return letter to Dean Seward Keene of Willamette, Hollis stated that Kcese’s letter •nut not "elleted any favorable response from my eolleague«. In the first place, they report that they are not talented in that particular sport, and ... they are uppareotly in posnen sion of information indicating that at least one of your fac ulty members has acquired no small amount of expertnes* in tennis.” Hollis said that he had been authorized by two of his col leagues to engage instead in either a skiing competition or in a mountain climbing trip. Willamette is reportedly mul ling the offer. h Jong line of achievement back ing him. Ten yeur« ago last January Humphrey took his place in the Senate and at the time was con sidered nothing but a young pip squeak by most of the older sen ators. But Humphrey has proved this Judgment false time and again. In Minnesota, he con structed one of the most efficient political machines in the nation under the label ‘Democrat-Farm Labor Party." The all-inclusive title suggests the scope of Hum phrey’s causes ranging from civil rights to immigration poli cies. Sees plight of farmers The 47-year-old senator was ixjrn in South Dakota in 1911. His j father, a life-long Republican, turned Democrat after hearing ; William Jennings Bryan speak in South Dakota. After two years of college at the Universty of Min nesota. Humphrey was forced to quit school and work in his father's drug store. The memories of seeing the South Dakota farm ers lose everything in dust storms during those yeai-s still infuriates him and this perhaps accounts for his interest in the farm problem today. Humphrey finished his remain ing two years at the University of Minnesota and then did gradu ate work in political science at Louisiana State University. After holding several regional and city offices in Minnesota, Humphrey | was elected to the United States i Senate in 1948. Probation lifted by IFC Tribunal The Inter-Fraternity Council !
