A British subject, he had no known family in this country. Bachelor of Arts Even some of the Skid Road set, however, viewed Payne with staunch criticism. He took baths. He never smoked. He didn't even drink wine. Holding both bachelor of arts and bachelor of law degrees from Cambridge, Payne drew a sharp philosophical if not legal distinc tion between "hobo" and "bum." "A hobo," he wrote, "is a vaga bond, a foot-loose wanderer whose address is everywhere. But he will work to live if nec essary." He brusequely defined a bum as "a man without hope."

Former Sen. Ben Day Back In College for Law Degree for,phomore at Reed college. He's also older than some of his law school instructors. And some of Day, who Salem Ben several , years served Jackson county as a state representative and senator, is now a temporary resident of Salem and, at the j age of 42, has gone back to school. Day, who until last fall oper ated extensive farming and ranching properties in the Sams Valley area of Jackson county, enrolled in the law school of Willamette university, and plans to study for three years to be come a member of the bar. Trasition Not Tough He said this week that the transition, from farming and politics to the life of a student, was not as tough as he thought it might be. "Studying in the university," he said, "is not a lot different than studying pro posed new laws when I was a member of the legislature." In a story about Day which ran in the Oregon Statesman here several months ago, he was quoted as wanting "to know what these laws I helped pass are all about. His move has resulted in sev eral curious circumstances. Technically, he's a college freshman, and as such rates lower than his son Kit, now a so- J-'- J... Ji! BEN DAY He's A Freshman the "upper classmen at Willa mette Law school who now rank him in the student hier archynot too long ago were asking him for advice and coun sel in the legislative halls. Can Take Exam in '57 , According to the Statesman's article, written by Thomas G. Wright,, Day will be eligible' to take the state bar examination in 1957. But he'll still lack a college degree. Depression fi nances and his marriage inter rupted his college education in the 1930s, after he attended Southern Oregon college and Oregon State . college. But this did not bar him from enrolling in law school, nor will it hinder him from becoming a lawyer. The Statesman's article went on to say: . "Political ambitions though not for the state legislature still remain for Day, who ad mitted if he returns to politics after his collegiate interlude it will be seeking . higher office And farmer-lawyer combina tions in the past have proven peculiarly adept at making political hay. "Actually Day's decision to switch careers in mid-stream dates much farther back than the day when he enrolled at Willamette. "He gave himself two years to make the transition from farmer to student, part of it coming during a period when he YEGGS DISAPPOINTED Dix, Neb.
