Page 2 University Daily Kansan Thursday, Oct. 11, 1956 Morse - McKay Meet In Oregon Republican leaders and strategists are eyeing the senatorial campaign and election in Oregon with concern. If they are to capture the state and help their fight to gain control of Congress, they must defect the man who was their candidate in 1950. Wayne Morse, labeled a "turncoat" by the GOP since he quit that party and became a Democrat, will be opposed by former Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay, whom President Eisenhower urged to enter the race in hopes of recapturing the state. Sen Morse. 55, who left the Republican party in the middle of the 1952 campaign because he had "absolutely no confidence in Eisenhower," became an independent and upset the GOP control of the Senate. Termed a "deserter" by conservatives, Sen Morse has been a constant critic of the administration. On the day the primary filings closed, Mr. McKay, 62, former mayor of Salem, a state senator, and governor, flew from Washington to Portland, Ore., where he announced his resignation as secretary of the Interior and his intention to run for the Senate. Persons either admire or hate Sen. Morse, who believes the voters of Oregon "are an independent breed." He has placed constant fire on the conservation and public-powers policies that Mr. Mc- Kay undertook, which have been classed by Democrats as a "give-away of natural resources." Mr. McKay, who as governor was opposed by labor leaders and who many Oregon Republicans believe is an "imposed candidate," has a firm grip on the Eisenhower coattails. He has said he will offer a choice between the Morse record and that of Ike. Republicans are aiding their campaign for Mr. McKay with a 250-page book entitled "The Documented Record of Senator Wayne Morse," which includes utterances and writings and analyzes Morse's voting record. In it he is cast as a villain. Both candidates are campaigning vigorously and the race will remain close until the last ballot is counted. Although some refuse to admit it, Sen. Morse now has the advantage; however, things can change suddenly. Since Mr. McKay has so thoroughly organized his forces in cities and counties, he easily could overtake Morse's small lead. Neither man has ever lost an election—in November one will. The Republicans desperately want to have Oregon on the GCP side of the Senate again, and believe Mr. McKay is the man who can swing this; the Democrats, with a strong faith in Morse's popularity, believe he will be returned to the Senate, this time representing their party. Jane Pecinovsky Editor: There have been times in the history of the world when some few persons have arisen to lead mankind from darkness to light, from slavery to freedom, from fearful acceptance of great wrongs to victorious mastery of the wrongdoers. Such a group I should like to commend to the public at large. These are the courageous few who spearheaded the invasion of the fraternity "reserved" sections at the KU-CU football game with a battle cry of "You can't save seats," and who peopleled the choice seats on and near the 40-yard line with students and parents having only general admission to the section. By dint of vociferous proclamation of the people's rights, these heroic souls swept aside the fraternity pledge set to guard the territory, leaving him with a stack of seat backs and a feeble excuse of "They just sat down anyway." One is struck by the directness and success of this sort of action, particularly in the light of the recent "action" of the All Student Council on the question of stopping the odious practice of reserving seats, which are in fact unreservable. It will be recalled that The Daily Kansan on Sept. 26 carried a story announcing the appointment of a committee to study and act on the problem. Since that time two football games have passed, the committee has met once, and seat reserving continues unabated. Is it unfair to note that the committee is made up entirely of fraternity men (as readily ascertained in last year's Student Directory), and was appointed by a fraternity man? This problem could summarily be dealt with in many different ways. I suggest the following four as a start, each neat and guaranteed. 1. The All Student Council and or the University Daily Kansan could carry on a publicity campaign to inform the student body shortly before the next home game that section saving has no basis in university policy. Thus pledges who attempt to reserve sections may be ignored, and the students, acting as above, will obtain the choice seats rightfully theirs. 2. Two or so of the Pinkerton men who take up tickets could be stationed in the stands early, with the purpose of ejecting those who attempt to reserve sections. Since the latter number only a handful, they could rapidly be dealt with. 3. The number of seat backs to be rented to one person could be limited to, say two or four; thus to reserve a whole section it would be necessary to fill it with people. And who can deny that a sat-in seat is in fact reserved for the sitter. 4. Probably the most efficient of all would be to explain to the fraternities that the reserving of whole sections is unsportsman like and illegal. Since everybody knows fraternity men are gentlemen, the practice would cease immediately, for everybody also knows gentlemen don't play dirty. ... Just Browsing ... From what we read in the papers, those fellers down in Norman, Okla., have another one of their usual power house football teams. No, there's nothing wrong with their football team—it's their social program. But just to show you that even Oklahomaans have their difficulties, let us point out that the Sooners are having quite a bit of trouble down there. The OU Panhellenic council recently banned the arranging of blind dates by fraternity and sorority houses, and the council has canceled all blind dates which were previously arranged. Think what a similar action here at KU would do to the wonderful social life which we enjoy. After all, there's no better way to meet some nice little dollie than on a blind date, and who knows, you may meet the girl you've been dreaming about all your life. And girls, this is your chance to meet the rugged he-man; the muscular, handsome, all-American boy that mother said you'd meet when you came to college. Seriously though, this blind dating does have a lot of good points. If you're not pinned, going steady, engaged, or married, and don't care to be entangled in any such alliances, then blind dating is just the thing. Meet lots of people, have a good time, and all that malarky. For what better way is there for you to show your friendship to your best friend than by arranging him (or her) with a blind date with a friend of better half. And if you are in the pinning-going steady-engaged-married clasification,you can still play a part in this vital segment of KU social life. That way you can double date, and go out and really have a ball, with everyone in rare good spirits. The fellow at the next desk, who has been reading over our shoulder, hastens to interrupt at this point to tell of a sad experience which he wishes to interpose as a warning.

David Cater -Dick Walt Seems he was romantically involved with this little dollie and he wanted her to get his buddy a date for a big party that was coming up. The little dollie gladly volunteered to provide another date, and the plans were made. Came the big night, and the big disillusionment. Seems that the other dollie was actually no dollie, but more of the fullback type. The friend of our friend bravely struggled through the evening, and made it home before really exploding. The blind date, who was quite impressed with our friend's friend, actually called him up and asked him to take her to a party, but he wasn't having any, and told her so in no uncertain terms. And comes the revelation. Later—too much later—our friend's friend discovers that this beast actually has more money than KU has lawn sprinklers, and there's nothing he can do. And after all, beauty is only skin deep, but a million dollars can last for a long time.
