Recognizing th!! need for another meeting of the Pacific North

date has been set for a second

If tomorrow's headlines are to read "Atomic Energy
Betters Mankind, Cures Cancer", we, as America's future
leaders will have to demand that the utilization of atomic
power be vested for humanitarian purposes.
If the vast amount of wealth used in the preparation of
the atom bomb could be diverted into constructive channels,
inconceivable good could he done for humanity.
Instead of speaking of atomic energy in terms of how
many bombs it will take to blow up an average American
city; of how there is no possible military defense against
such a weapon; of the horrible destruction and suffering
it can bring to a nation, and of how it must be monopolized
by one or more nations in order to prevent universal devas
tation, let us look to this energy as a future scientific and
industrial aid in uniting a world into one community of
progress and eternal peace.
Why not make the "atomic age" the landmark in the
minds of posterity as the introduction to an era that lmew
no war and international destruction, a generatian which up
held the ideal "nation shall not lift up a sword against na
tion, neither shall they learn war anymore."
We Can Do It Again
As thirteen disunited colonies emerging from a war in
1783 tried to bind themselves together undex:_ the loosely
woven Articles of Confederation, so more-than-13 disunited
nations emerging from a war in 1946 are trying desperately
to bind themselves together under the United Nations char
ter.
The Articles of Confederation proved too weak to unite
the colonies permanently, and 62 Northwestern college stu
dents believe the United Nations charter in its present form
is likewise too weak to insure a peaceful "One World". It
must give way to a stronger document, as the Articles of
Confederation gave way to the United States Constitution.
A united world is no less feasible in 1946 than was a
United States 170 years ago; Virgin~a was no farther from
Massachusetts in that day than Russia is from our own
nation in today's age of aircraft and atomic energy.
The Pacific Northwest College Congress says, ."We know
it's a hard tjob ahead of us, but it's been done before• and we
can do it again!"
They Call It History
God created the heavens and the earth and made from
His own image, man. Eons have passed since this creation,
and the civilizations that have risen and fallen are the
foundations upon which our modern world is built.
Man created. war-man can create lasting peace. Where
will this end of war and beginning of peace start? The ~er
lies with the youth of today.
We have started on this road by the founding of such
institutions as the Pacific Northwest College Congress.
A woman had a dream. This dream of lasting peace
became a realization when delegates, representing 30,000
students met tq plan for peace. These numbers are infintis
simal when compared to world population, but so were the
handful that signed the Declaration of ' Independence. 'IThe
congress, was just one big argument," say some partici
pants. There was also dissension in 1776.
Youth has a voice in the PNCC; a small voice that will
reach a great volume. This voice will need teaching and prac
tice, for as yet it is the voice of a child. Soon, it will be
the voice of the world.

Studenl Expression Retarded
By Publicity and Lack of Time
Delegates Report
By Nancy Meigs
The Pacific Northwest College
Congress now being history, it is
time for an evaluation. In a
measure, the Congress was a suc
cess. The resolutions in the form
of recommendations should be of
some importance to the U.N. Yet
considering the opportunity af
forde<l the students ," the Congress
fell short of our expectations.
Why did we not completely
succeed? First, any original at
tempt may fall short of its pre
liminary ideals. We were addi
tionally hampered by lack of
tiine, not too adequate prepara
tion in probably sixty per cent of
the delegates and too much pub
licity. Other elements entered in
to partially defeat. us. For in
stance, some of the better resolu
tions were sCl'apped. in the re
writing for final acceptance.
Some resolutions were introduced
from the floor which added little
to those already formed. And not
enough of us apparently were
willing to fight for the necessary
resolutions. But one can hardly
expect a home economics major
to be willing to stay over time.
Choice of delegateS restricted our
results.
Tied down by a time schedule
(due to no fault of anyone in par
ticular) the final draft was rush
ed through without the thought
ful '=Onsideration it needed.
Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps
the resolutions do represent the
majority of real student opinion.
In that case, I shall be compelled
to say that I am sorry to be class
ed as an American student.
Whether or not they are indica
tive of student opinion will be
revealed in the poll to be taken
on all college campuses.
Where do we go"from here? Let
us decide that this shall 'not be
the last student Congress. This
one has e ough value for us to
realize the ne~:d of another. Then
let us all keep informed and in
terested in the state of the U.N.
Let us not,be tempted to lie back
and let the other fellow do our
thinking and hence our · acting
for us.

Even the most qualified states
men find their plans for world
peace subjected to severe criti
cism, but that can ·be no excuse
for our failures at Reed college.
We must not try to excuse, but
to rectify our mistakes as soon
as possible.
In my opinion the first big mis-
·' take was to have obtamed n~-
tionw!de public~ty before we
gathered to express our opinions.
We were apparently not capable
of living up to our advanced bill
ing when given only two rushed
days to draw up resolutions.
Another blow at possible suc
cess/seemed to be the disorgani
zation of the first general as
sembly of delegates, with its
absence of a coordinator of dis
cussion and the presence 1>f a per
ipatetic microphone which drove
all thoughts from the question at
hand to glorification of self.
. Given sufficient time, the five
man steering committee might
have seen the superfluity of some
\'F~solutiens passed on for ratifi
cation and the value of some of
those deleted, and avoided the
impression that only casual con
sideration was given to the atom
ic bomb problem. The backing of
the Acheson report came not
from student minds but apparent
ly from a talk given by Dr. Phil
ip Morrison. Not one delegate in
ten knew what the Acheson re
port was about. Student opinion
was cast aside in order to make
the resolutions more compatible
to the State Department.
Unfortunately the efforts of
Garry Miller, the delegate from
the University of British Colum
bia, to submit a report regarding
the atomic question were unsuc
cessful.

Conlesllo Choose
Student Delegates
To Ulf Conference
Two delegates from the Pacific
Northwest College Congress will
be sent east to the United Na
tions meeting by radio station
KGW in cooperation with the
Portland League of 'Women Vot
ers this summer with a1I expenses
paid to present the resolutions
and the findings of the first
northwest student congress.
Results of the conference will
be revealed to the Lewis and
Clark student body April 24.
In the competition the colleges
will be divided into two groups
and one contestant from each
group will be selected; first, col
leges with more than 1000 stu
dents, and second, colleges with
less than 1000 students.
The two delegates chosen will
be judged in the following man
ner and on the following p'oints:
1. A concise report will be aub
mitted to KGW and the Portland
League of Women Voters explain
ing the manner and methods used
in informing their studen{ bodies
of the results of the Northwest
College Congress. It should 'con
tain sufficient detail to give the
judges a clear picture of the dele
gate's post-congress activities.
2. Percentage of total student
voters in each school participat
ing in the balloting. Since it is
the ultimate desire that an ex
pression be secured from the
greatest number of students, the
delegate securing .the greatest
number ·of ballots in his school
will stand a better chance of win
ning.
After these reports, results of
the poll and the time involved
have been taken into considera
tion, the judges compiling the w
tal votes for each candidate from
his or her respective school, will
announce their decision.
It is hoped in this way the
opinions of 33,000 northwest col
lege students on world affairs
may be heard by the men and
women who are shaping the
peace, Frank Coffin, KGW pub
licity director, said.
Poll and Chapels
To Be Conducted
Nancy Meigs and John Elwood,
Lewis and Clark delegates to the
Pacific Northwest College Con
fP"ess, are planning to present
their reports on the results of the
Congress to the student body next
Wednesday at chapel, when they
will also distribute ballots to be
filled out by each student. They
hope to have an open student
discussion at Friday's assembly,
at which time ballots will be cpl
lected.
Students aie urged to fill in
their ballots and retum them to -
one of the delegattts at 1east by
Friday, since Sunday night is the
definite deadline and judging is
ba-sed on promptness with which
results . are received, as well as
percentage of • the total student
body filling out the ballots.
The ballots, which · have been
sent to all Northwest colleges and
universities participating in the
PNCC, will contain the complete
list of the resolutions passed at
the Congress as well as three
questions: "Are you a veteran? "
"Are you over 21 ?" and "Are you
a registered voter?" The slogan
which the ballots will carry is
~·Your vote is your voice in U.
N.", since the results of the poll
on all Northwestern campuses will
be smt directly to the U. N.
meetu\g at Hunter college and
may have a direct bearing· on
decisions made there. .·

Brain Kids Jump Into Melling Pol;
Produc.e Much Smoke, Little Heal
There was a sharp contrast when we left the bright, sunny
outdoors and entered the deep, intellectual · atmospher e of Reed's
Eliot hall that anxious Friday afternoon .
Here was to be the melting pot of the ideas of brain kids from
the Northwest , the proof that the youth of America know what's
going on in the world and want a chance to improve it.
The spirit of the Congress was one of typical youthful id~alism.
Everyone agreed on the high goals aimed at and about the ol)ly
controversies were over the-wording of minor detail of a resolution .
But then how· can people get down to hot issues in two short days?
The only spark to hit the place came shortly before the close
of the session when a minority group, in a true revolutionary
spirit, tried to call an unscheduled meeting to bring in additional
resolutions, especially pertaining to atomic energy.
The Saturday rooming broadcast of floor discussion did little
but confuse everyone who didn't partake, publicize those who
did and bore the press representative from Time magazine. Roving
mikes gathered scattered and miscellaneous comments from the
delegates with a lengthy silence between each. The only applause
of this particular assembly came when the delegate from the
University of Washington stated that it was presumptuous for the
Congress to try to draw up resolutions on subjects that the great
statesmen of the world take weeks and months to do. Earnest dis
cussion began when the mikes no longer dampened the heat
of the meeting, only to be stopped for lunch.
During recesses, students met in the corridors to rehash resolu
tions discuss the formula of the atomic bomb or simply to smoke . .
and ponder. Here was the cross section of college youth in the face
of actual responsibility that one doesn't always sense on a campus.
Here brains and brawn , (with ruptured ducks· in the majority)
matched wits with b"rains and beauty.
Besides these delegates there were the press representatives
frantically trying to catch all the long and legal wording of
the resolutions and League women, prolidly reiterating the fact that
here were students doing their own thinking and ·making history
with no faculty getting under foot. Still one can't 'help wondering
what might have come out of such a Congress had it been con
ceived and planned by the students themselves.

Congress Go~d Idea But Time Lacking Dr. Morrison, co-author of "One
World or None," has worked on
the development of the atomic
bomb since 1942, assisting in the
actual assembly of those dropped
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
"The atom bomb destroys a
city 111 the most economical way
possible," he said. I'The key ·is
not the damage due to bombing,
for atom bombing is not differ
ent in kind from ordipary bomb
ing, but one plane and one bomb
can destroy a whole city. Jn
stead of raiding Berlin one night,
Tokyo the next, a whole nation Dr. William Fielding Ogburn
of the University of Chicago,
stressed that the problem of the
atomic age is not how ~o get an
agreement for international peace
but h11w to make it work. He
urged that the youth of the con
ference be governed by realism
instead of idealism in consider- .
ing world organization.
Believing that international
agreement freezes the status quo
so !hat no changes can be made,

that three problems be solved
first: Russia's interests in obtain

the· great world problems. It was
evident that the time allotted to
the section groups dealing with
these problems was too short for
carefully considered resolutions,
and an over-emphasis on public
ity greatly interfered with the
real work of the congress.
Marilyn Johnson: I'm proud
that Northwestern students have
had the distinction of having par

but I hate to think of that wishy

it must instigate :further confer

A correspondent from Time

meetings and a follow-up feature
story is expected in Time within
a few weeks. The story on the
conference was also released on
the wires of the national press
services.
The panel discussion in which
Carl Van Doren, Dr. Philip Mor

"Our safety lies in turning ov
er what we know about atomic
force to international control," he
emphasized. He declared there are
no atomic secrets and Russia and
Britam are capable of catching
up .with our present develop
ments.
Advocating cooperation of all
nations for the development of
atomic energy for peaceful pur
suits, he expressed approval of
the State department's Acheson
report.
Carl Van Doreti; New York
Pulitzer prize winner, made rec
ommendations for immediate
amendments to be made to the
U. N. chartet if the ·world organi
zation is to be successful. The
noted biographer and critic came
to the College Congress directly
from the Rollins conference in
Florida, where a representative
gvo'up of Americans proposed
amendments to the U.N. charter.
Van Doren warned that we
must not form a bloc, but must
leave the door open for any na
tion that wants to come in, for
if an effective organization is
created every nation will want
to come in.
"Russia suspects our produc
tivity and we suspect her huge
standing army," he said. "But she
won't bolt the conference. We've
both got to give up a part of our
sovereignty and submit ourselves
to world rule."
Van Doren believes that world
organization may well follow
along lines of the development of
the United States. He favors the
U. N. general assembly being
converted into a legislative body
capable of making international
laws which would be bindinc up
on nations in the U. N., the se
curity council becom.inJ the ex
ecutive branch, ana a world court Ogburn advocates the submit

Van Doren Lures
Student Delegates
By Virginia White
My nomination for tl'\e most
colorful personality of the Pacific
Northwest College Congress is
C~rl Van Doren, the venerable
"Dean of Ame1·ican Men of Let ~
ters."
With his close cropped white
hair, deep tan and kindly smile,
he stood ·in the sunshine on the
lawn in front of Reed college's
Eliot hall and charmed an ever
widening circle of young dele
gates. between meetings on Sat
urday afternoon. The witty, gen
ial author answered our ques
tions on · world problems with
wise and succinct advice.
Typical were his remarks on
whether widely-differing nations
could get along peacefully in a
worl1 federation. "We are told
that we must love our neighbors,
but you don't have to love your
neighbor-it might make him
nervrus. Just see that he has
equal rights-and then respect
those rights."
Van Doren expressed his view
that the language barrier be
tween nations is much over-esti
mated, quoting George Bernard
Shaw's, "One of the reasons the
British and the Americans have
trouble is that they understand
each other's insults."
In his opinion there is a psy
chology of nations which make!J
a certain national vanity a natur
al phenomenon. Having traveled
in Russia, he concluded that psy
chological motives, such as de
sire for recognition and approval,
explain some of Russia's actions.
As the author of the Pulitzer
prize-winning "Benjamin Frank
lin" talked, increasing numbers
of admiring delegates gathered,
until finally the popular gentle
man adjourned the informal
meeting to prevent the shifting
of the entire congress to the steps
of Eliot hall.

YoUI new student body presi-ueen, a t, ance an a "£On

with the big smile and the brown
eyes you see walking around the
campus. Having been at Lewis
and Clark for three years, Jon is
now a junior, soc major, and one
of no small repute. Jon has been
the pastor at Lincoln Methodist
for the past two years, which,
we think, is quite an accomplish
ment at the age of twenty-five.
Don't let those eyes fool you, the
wrinkles are from his good hu
mor. But what we'd like to see
most is Jon Jr., age two-and-a-
half ____ is he as cute as you say,
Jon?
The "personality girl" and new
secretary is brown-haired Mary
Roscoe. who wUI reign as cam
pus queen on May Day. Also a
junior and soc major, Mary went
to St. Helen's hall for a year be
fore coming to Lewis and Clark,
and will graduate next year.
Mary is also vice president of the
junior class, and her campus ac
tivities are many and varied.
Bill .Jackson. vice president,
will be a junior: in the coming
year. With two years of army
life to his credit, Bill has fit him
self· beautifully into the student
curricular , and to prove it, just
ask his friends ("that Jackson
man is really sharp!"). Bill has
been married · to his high school
sweetheart for . one year, and is
now twenty-one. Bill's major is
business ad, and if he likes book
keeping, he will be a C.P.A. He
was navigator on a B-24 during
the latter part of his service, and
he went to school at Niagara uni
versity in New York. Bill, who
will be in the gradhating class of

Salute to a Pioneer
It is with a deep sense of grati
tude that we pay tribute to Dr.
Florence Peebles as a true repre
sentative of the progressive pio
neer spirit of Lewis and Clark
college. She began teaching here
the first year of Lewis and Clark
and since then through her amaz
ing energy and tenacity of pur
pose, great advances have been
made in our biology department .
After completing liO years of
teaching, Dr. Peebles is planning
to retire this year.
Her early ambition was to be
come a doctor, although women
Q.octors were unheard of at that
time. Prevailed upon by her fam
ily, she decided to te.ch cOUl'lleS
which would prepare other peo
ple for the medical profession.
Dr. Peebles received her B. A.
degr10e from Goucher college and
her Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr in
1900. Twelve times she did re-Dr. Florence Peebles
ive of life that is of great. value
to her students. Although IJr.
Peeblt>s claims that writing and
gard~;ning are two of her main
hobbies, those friends who know
her bzst feel that people are her
hobby.
Those at Lewis and Clark who
have known Dr. Peebles and felt
her influence realize their great
loss at her retirement. PIOMEER LOG

ATHLETES'
FOOTNOTES
By J. B. DELAPOEB
Th" basebail season opened
with a bang for Lewis and Clark
at Buckman field Saturday, April
6, when a huge and enthusiastic
crowd of at least a dozen loyal
members of the student body
watched the local aggregation go
down to a 7 to 1 defeat at the
hands of the Linfield college
nine. As an . opener, it wasn't
much to write home about for the
local boys were playing together
for thE first time and showed it
in their poor tea,mwork, lack of
confidence and morale. Also, due
to the rainy weat~er and poor
practice facilities , they had had
only two iJ;)fieTd workouts and a
mere half 1 dozen afternoons of
batting practice. But dOil't W!J.Ste
any tears on that bunch for last
Saturday, April 13, they played
the Multnomah college ball club
until the game was called at 6¥..
innings to save wear and tear on
both the diamond and certain and
sundry lads from Lewis and
Clark. The. score was 23 to. 1 in
favor of L&C. ,.
The opening game revealed a
new star in Lewis and Clark's
athletic firmament in the person
of one Bob Signer, late of the
navy,. late of Oregon university,
but first in the hearts of us base
ball fans for no less than seven
teen Linfield hopefuls played
Casey-at-the-bat watching his
fast one gone by or swinging fu
tilely at his Daily Special which
·was a curveball breaking just as
it should and apparently evading
the lusty blows of the lads from
McMinnville with collegiate if
not human intelligence. Bob is
a phys-ed major, has had three
years of baseball under Wade
Williams of Lincoln where he al
so did all right as halfback in
football. Added to this is plenty
of experience in American Legi
on ball and one season at Oregon
where he had his best game in
playing and winning a 13 -,nning
ironman contest. He plans to fin
ish ai Lewis and Clark and if any
gals have read this far and are
curious enough to send in two
Wheaties box-tops, we'll tell you
whether or not he is married. If
Matty's either pitchers are as good
as Bob it is going to be a very
successful season provided the in
field starts clicking and short flies
to th~ outfield begin to bounce instead of plopping dead in the
mud as they were doing the other
day at Buckman.
With the season just beginning,
the regular lineup is still in ques
tion but in the first game Ben
Padro•.v, who will probably grow
up to be an umpire, did a job and
a half behind the plate when
Chet Cardiff wrenched his back
on a bad play on the home sack.
On fit'St was Don Pearson; Mar
ion H:.~ggett and Jimmy Pearson
held down second and short re
spectively, and Stan Ludlow was
on the hot corner. Jack McKethen
was 'in the left field, Bob Malloy
in center, and Bud Unruh in
right. What do you want to bet
this outfit wins the next three
straight?
One serious problem still re
Ip.aini!lg 1 is the lack · of student
body support at athletic contests.
Of course, this. is largely due to
the lnck of a. home field, but a
little publicity would go a long
way toward providing the solu
tion. If half the signs seen on the
campus during recent weeks were
used to forewarn the gals and
the guys of coming games the
turnout would be quickly in
creased. Probably only two signs.
would be needed: a small an
nouncement under a picture of
Van Johnson would get the need
ed attention from the femmes,
and as for the men-"Hey, Hos
ford! (Not the Rev. John) Have
you got another Varga portrait?"

If tomorrow's headlines are to read "Atomic Energy
Betters Mankind, Cures Cancer", we, as America's future
leaders will have to demand that the utilization of atomic
power be vested for humanitarian purposes.
If the vast amount of wealth used in the preparation of
the atom bomb could be diverted into constructive channels,
inconceivable good could he done for humanity.
Instead of speaking of atomic energy in terms of how
many bombs it will take to blow up an average American
city; of how there is no possible military defense against
such a weapon; of the horrible destruction and suffering
it can bring to a nation, and of how it must be monopolized
by one or more nations in order to prevent universal devas
tation, let us look to this energy as a future scientific and
industrial aid in uniting a world into one community of
progress and eternal peace.
Why not make the "atomic age" the landmark in the
minds of posterity as the introduction to an era that lmew
no war and international destruction, a generatian which up
held the ideal "nation shall not lift up a sword against na
tion, neither shall they learn war anymore."
We Can Do It Again
As thirteen disunited colonies emerging from a war in
1783 tried to bind themselves together undex:_ the loosely
woven Articles of Confederation, so more-than-13 disunited
nations emerging from a war in 1946 are trying desperately
to bind themselves together under the United Nations char
ter.
The Articles of Confederation proved too weak to unite
the colonies permanently, and 62 Northwestern college stu
dents believe the United Nations charter in its present form
is likewise too weak to insure a peaceful "One World". It
must give way to a stronger document, as the Articles of
Confederation gave way to the United States Constitution.
A united world is no less feasible in 1946 than was a
United States 170 years ago; Virgin~a was no farther from
Massachusetts in that day than Russia is from our own
nation in today's age of aircraft and atomic energy.
The Pacific Northwest College Congress says, ."We know
it's a hard tjob ahead of us, but it's been done before• and we
can do it again!"
They Call It History
God created the heavens and the earth and made from
His own image, man. Eons have passed since this creation,
and the civilizations that have risen and fallen are the
foundations upon which our modern world is built.
Man created. war-man can create lasting peace. Where
will this end of war and beginning of peace start? The ~er
lies with the youth of today.
We have started on this road by the founding of such
institutions as the Pacific Northwest College Congress.
A woman had a dream. This dream of lasting peace
became a realization when delegates, representing 30,000
students met tq plan for peace. These numbers are infintis
simal when compared to world population, but so were the
handful that signed the Declaration of ' Independence. 'IThe
congress, was just one big argument," say some partici
pants. There was also dissension in 1776.
Youth has a voice in the PNCC; a small voice that will
reach a great volume. This voice will need teaching and prac
tice, for as yet it is the voice of a child. Soon, it will be
the voice of the world.

tionally hampered by lack of
tiine, not too adequate prepara
tion in probably sixty per cent of
the delegates and too much pub
licity. Other elements entered in
to partially defeat. us. For in
stance, some of the better resolu
tions were sCl'apped. in the re
writing for final acceptance.
Some resolutions were introduced
from the floor which added little
to those already formed. And not
enough of us apparently were
willing to fight for the necessary
resolutions. But one can hardly
expect a home economics major
to be willing to stay over time.
Choice of delegateS restricted our
results.
Tied down by a time schedule
(due to no fault of anyone in par
ticular) the final draft was rush
ed through without the thought
ful '=Onsideration it needed.
Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps
the resolutions do represent the
majority of real student opinion.
In that case, I shall be compelled
to say that I am sorry to be class
ed as an American student.
Whether or not they are indica
tive of student opinion will be
revealed in the poll to be taken
on all college campuses.
Where do we go"from here? Let
us decide that this shall 'not be
the last student Congress. This
one has e ough value for us to
realize the ne~:d of another. Then
let us all keep informed and in
terested in the state of the U.N.
Let us not,be tempted to lie back
and let the other fellow do our
thinking and hence our · acting
for us.

We must not try to excuse, but
to rectify our mistakes as soon

In my opinion the first big mis-
·' take was to have obtamed n~-

gathered to express our opinions.
We were apparently not capable
of living up to our advanced bill
ing when given only two rushed
days to draw up resolutions.
Another blow at possible suc
cess/seemed to be the disorgani
zation of the first general as
sembly of delegates, with its
absence of a coordinator of dis
cussion and the presence 1>f a per
ipatetic microphone which drove
all thoughts from the question at
hand to glorification of self.
. Given sufficient time, the five

have seen the superfluity of some
\'F~solutiens passed on for ratifi

those deleted, and avoided the
impression that only casual con

ic bomb problem. The backing of
the Acheson report came not
from student minds but apparent
ly from a talk given by Dr. Phil
ip Morrison. Not one delegate in
ten knew what the Acheson re
port was about. Student opinion
was cast aside in order to make
the resolutions more compatible
to the State Department.
Unfortunately the efforts of

Conlesllo Choose
Student Delegates
To Ulf Conference
Two delegates from the Pacific
Northwest College Congress will
be sent east to the United Na
tions meeting by radio station
KGW in cooperation with the
Portland League of 'Women Vot
ers this summer with a1I expenses
paid to present the resolutions
and the findings of the first
northwest student congress.
Results of the conference will
be revealed to the Lewis and
Clark student body April 24.
In the competition the colleges
will be divided into two groups
and one contestant from each
group will be selected; first, col
leges with more than 1000 stu
dents, and second, colleges with
less than 1000 students.
The two delegates chosen will
be judged in the following man
ner and on the following p'oints:
1. A concise report will be aub
mitted to KGW and the Portland
League of Women Voters explain
ing the manner and methods used
in informing their studen{ bodies
of the results of the Northwest
College Congress. It should 'con
tain sufficient detail to give the
judges a clear picture of the dele
gate's post-congress activities.
2. Percentage of total student
voters in each school participat
ing in the balloting. Since it is
the ultimate desire that an ex
pression be secured from the
greatest number of students, the
delegate securing .the greatest
number ·of ballots in his school
will stand a better chance of win
ning.
After these reports, results of
the poll and the time involved
have been taken into considera
tion, the judges compiling the w
tal votes for each candidate from
his or her respective school, will
announce their decision.
It is hoped in this way the
opinions of 33,000 northwest col
lege students on world affairs
may be heard by the men and
women who are shaping the
peace, Frank Coffin, KGW pub
licity director, said.
Poll and Chapels
To Be Conducted
Nancy Meigs and John Elwood,
Lewis and Clark delegates to the
Pacific Northwest College Con
fP"ess, are planning to present
their reports on the results of the
Congress to the student body next
Wednesday at chapel, when they
will also distribute ballots to be
filled out by each student. They
hope to have an open student
discussion at Friday's assembly,
at which time ballots will be cpl
lected.
Students aie urged to fill in
their ballots and retum them to -
one of the delegattts at 1east by
Friday, since Sunday night is the
definite deadline and judging is
ba-sed on promptness with which
results . are received, as well as
percentage of • the total student
body filling out the ballots.
The ballots, which · have been
sent to all Northwest colleges and
universities participating in the
PNCC, will contain the complete
list of the resolutions passed at
the Congress as well as three
questions: "Are you a veteran? "
"Are you over 21 ?" and "Are you
a registered voter?" The slogan
which the ballots will carry is
~·Your vote is your voice in U.
N.", since the results of the poll
on all Northwestern campuses will
be smt directly to the U. N.
meetu\g at Hunter college and
may have a direct bearing· on
decisions made there. .·

Brain Kids Jump Into Melling Pol;
Produc.e Much Smoke, Little Heal
There was a sharp contrast when we left the bright, sunny
outdoors and entered the deep, intellectual · atmospher e of Reed's
Eliot hall that anxious Friday afternoon .
Here was to be the melting pot of the ideas of brain kids from
the Northwest , the proof that the youth of America know what's
going on in the world and want a chance to improve it.
The spirit of the Congress was one of typical youthful id~alism.
Everyone agreed on the high goals aimed at and about the ol)ly
controversies were over the-wording of minor detail of a resolution .
But then how· can people get down to hot issues in two short days?
The only spark to hit the place came shortly before the close
of the session when a minority group, in a true revolutionary
spirit, tried to call an unscheduled meeting to bring in additional
resolutions, especially pertaining to atomic energy.
The Saturday rooming broadcast of floor discussion did little
but confuse everyone who didn't partake, publicize those who
did and bore the press representative from Time magazine. Roving
mikes gathered scattered and miscellaneous comments from the
delegates with a lengthy silence between each. The only applause
of this particular assembly came when the delegate from the
University of Washington stated that it was presumptuous for the
Congress to try to draw up resolutions on subjects that the great
statesmen of the world take weeks and months to do. Earnest dis
cussion began when the mikes no longer dampened the heat
of the meeting, only to be stopped for lunch.
During recesses, students met in the corridors to rehash resolu
tions discuss the formula of the atomic bomb or simply to smoke . .
and ponder. Here was the cross section of college youth in the face
of actual responsibility that one doesn't always sense on a campus.
Here brains and brawn , (with ruptured ducks· in the majority)
matched wits with b"rains and beauty.
Besides these delegates there were the press representatives
frantically trying to catch all the long and legal wording of
the resolutions and League women, prolidly reiterating the fact that
here were students doing their own thinking and ·making history
with no faculty getting under foot. Still one can't 'help wondering
what might have come out of such a Congress had it been con
ceived and planned by the students themselves.

Congress Go~d Idea But Time Lacking Dr. Morrison, co-author of "One
World or None," has worked on
the development of the atomic
bomb since 1942, assisting in the
actual assembly of those dropped
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
"The atom bomb destroys a
city 111 the most economical way
possible," he said. I'The key ·is
not the damage due to bombing,
for atom bombing is not differ
ent in kind from ordipary bomb
ing, but one plane and one bomb
can destroy a whole city. Jn
stead of raiding Berlin one night,
Tokyo the next, a whole nation Dr. William Fielding Ogburn
of the University of Chicago,
stressed that the problem of the
atomic age is not how ~o get an
agreement for international peace
but h11w to make it work. He
urged that the youth of the con
ference be governed by realism
instead of idealism in consider- .
ing world organization.
Believing that international
agreement freezes the status quo
so !hat no changes can be made,

that three problems be solved
first: Russia's interests in obtain

the· great world problems. It was
evident that the time allotted to
the section groups dealing with
these problems was too short for
carefully considered resolutions,
and an over-emphasis on public
ity greatly interfered with the
real work of the congress.
Marilyn Johnson: I'm proud
that Northwestern students have
had the distinction of having par

but I hate to think of that wishy

story is expected in Time within
a few weeks. The story on the
conference was also released on
the wires of the national press
services.

Carl Van Doren, Dr. Philip Mor

"Our safety lies in turning ov
er what we know about atomic
force to international control," he
emphasized. He declared there are
no atomic secrets and Russia and
Britam are capable of catching
up .with our present develop
ments.
Advocating cooperation of all
nations for the development of
atomic energy for peaceful pur
suits, he expressed approval of
the State department's Acheson
report.
Carl Van Doreti; New York
Pulitzer prize winner, made rec
ommendations for immediate
amendments to be made to the
U. N. chartet if the ·world organi
zation is to be successful. The
noted biographer and critic came
to the College Congress directly
from the Rollins conference in
Florida, where a representative
gvo'up of Americans proposed
amendments to the U.N. charter.
Van Doren warned that we
must not form a bloc, but must
leave the door open for any na
tion that wants to come in, for
if an effective organization is
created every nation will want
to come in.
"Russia suspects our produc
tivity and we suspect her huge
standing army," he said. "But she
won't bolt the conference. We've
both got to give up a part of our
sovereignty and submit ourselves
to world rule."
Van Doren believes that world
organization may well follow
along lines of the development of
the United States. He favors the
U. N. general assembly being
converted into a legislative body
capable of making international
laws which would be bindinc up
on nations in the U. N., the se

Van Doren Lures
Student Delegates
By Virginia White
My nomination for tl'\e most
colorful personality of the Pacific
Northwest College Congress is
C~rl Van Doren, the venerable
"Dean of Ame1·ican Men of Let ~
ters."
With his close cropped white
hair, deep tan and kindly smile,
he stood ·in the sunshine on the
lawn in front of Reed college's
Eliot hall and charmed an ever
widening circle of young dele
gates. between meetings on Sat
urday afternoon. The witty, gen
ial author answered our ques
tions on · world problems with
wise and succinct advice.
Typical were his remarks on
whether widely-differing nations
could get along peacefully in a
worl1 federation. "We are told
that we must love our neighbors,
but you don't have to love your
neighbor-it might make him
nervrus. Just see that he has
equal rights-and then respect
those rights."
Van Doren expressed his view
that the language barrier be
tween nations is much over-esti
mated, quoting George Bernard
Shaw's, "One of the reasons the
British and the Americans have
trouble is that they understand
each other's insults."
In his opinion there is a psy
chology of nations which make!J
a certain national vanity a natur
al phenomenon. Having traveled
in Russia, he concluded that psy
chological motives, such as de
sire for recognition and approval,
explain some of Russia's actions.
As the author of the Pulitzer
prize-winning "Benjamin Frank
lin" talked, increasing numbers
of admiring delegates gathered,
until finally the popular gentle
man adjourned the informal
meeting to prevent the shifting
of the entire congress to the steps
of Eliot hall.

presented by A WS and AMS as

them was their presence, and the
fact that most of them are mar

liked by others.
Bill Wilson and John Elwood
discussed women from opposite

with the big smile and the brown
eyes you see walking around the
campus. Having been at Lewis

now a junior, soc major, and one
of no small repute. Jon has been
the pastor at Lincoln Methodist
for the past two years, which,
we think, is quite an accomplish
ment at the age of twenty-five.
Don't let those eyes fool you, the

and will graduate next year.
Mary is also vice president of the
junior class, and her campus ac

Bill .Jackson. vice president,
will be a junior: in the coming
year. With two years of army
life to his credit, Bill has fit him
self· beautifully into the student
curricular , and to prove it, just
ask his friends ("that Jackson
man is really sharp!"). Bill has
been married · to his high school
sweetheart for . one year, and is
now twenty-one. Bill's major is
business ad, and if he likes book
keeping, he will be a C.P.A. He
was navigator on a B-24 during

Salute to a Pioneer
It is with a deep sense of grati
tude that we pay tribute to Dr.
Florence Peebles as a true repre
sentative of the progressive pio
neer spirit of Lewis and Clark
college. She began teaching here
the first year of Lewis and Clark
and since then through her amaz
ing energy and tenacity of pur
pose, great advances have been
made in our biology department .
After completing liO years of
teaching, Dr. Peebles is planning
to retire this year.
Her early ambition was to be
come a doctor, although women
Q.octors were unheard of at that
time. Prevailed upon by her fam
ily, she decided to te.ch cOUl'lleS
which would prepare other peo
ple for the medical profession.
Dr. Peebles received her B. A.
degr10e from Goucher college and
her Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr in
1900. Twelve times she did re-Dr. Florence Peebles
ive of life that is of great. value
to her students. Although IJr.
Peeblt>s claims that writing and
gard~;ning are two of her main
hobbies, those friends who know
her bzst feel that people are her
hobby.
Those at Lewis and Clark who
have known Dr. Peebles and felt
her influence realize their great
loss at her retirement. PIOMEER LOG

ATHLETES'
FOOTNOTES
By J. B. DELAPOEB
Th" basebail season opened
with a bang for Lewis and Clark
at Buckman field Saturday, April
6, when a huge and enthusiastic
crowd of at least a dozen loyal
members of the student body
watched the local aggregation go
down to a 7 to 1 defeat at the
hands of the Linfield college
nine. As an . opener, it wasn't
much to write home about for the
local boys were playing together
for thE first time and showed it
in their poor tea,mwork, lack of
confidence and morale. Also, due
to the rainy weat~er and poor
practice facilities , they had had
only two iJ;)fieTd workouts and a
mere half 1 dozen afternoons of
batting practice. But dOil't W!J.Ste
any tears on that bunch for last
Saturday, April 13, they played
the Multnomah college ball club
until the game was called at 6¥..
innings to save wear and tear on
both the diamond and certain and
sundry lads from Lewis and
Clark. The. score was 23 to. 1 in
favor of L&C. ,.
The opening game revealed a
new star in Lewis and Clark's
athletic firmament in the person
of one Bob Signer, late of the
navy,. late of Oregon university,
but first in the hearts of us base
ball fans for no less than seven
teen Linfield hopefuls played
Casey-at-the-bat watching his
fast one gone by or swinging fu
tilely at his Daily Special which
·was a curveball breaking just as
it should and apparently evading
the lusty blows of the lads from
McMinnville with collegiate if
not human intelligence. Bob is
a phys-ed major, has had three
years of baseball under Wade
Williams of Lincoln where he al
so did all right as halfback in
football. Added to this is plenty
of experience in American Legi
on ball and one season at Oregon
where he had his best game in
playing and winning a 13 -,nning
ironman contest. He plans to fin
ish ai Lewis and Clark and if any
gals have read this far and are
curious enough to send in two
Wheaties box-tops, we'll tell you
whether or not he is married. If
Matty's either pitchers are as good
as Bob it is going to be a very
successful season provided the in
field starts clicking and short flies
to th~ outfield begin to bounce instead of plopping dead in the
mud as they were doing the other
day at Buckman.
With the season just beginning,
the regular lineup is still in ques
tion but in the first game Ben
Padro•.v, who will probably grow
up to be an umpire, did a job and
a half behind the plate when
Chet Cardiff wrenched his back
on a bad play on the home sack.
On fit'St was Don Pearson; Mar
ion H:.~ggett and Jimmy Pearson
held down second and short re
spectively, and Stan Ludlow was
on the hot corner. Jack McKethen
was 'in the left field, Bob Malloy
in center, and Bud Unruh in
right. What do you want to bet
this outfit wins the next three
straight?
One serious problem still re
Ip.aini!lg 1 is the lack · of student
body support at athletic contests.
Of course, this. is largely due to
the lnck of a. home field, but a
little publicity would go a long
way toward providing the solu
tion. If half the signs seen on the
campus during recent weeks were
used to forewarn the gals and
the guys of coming games the
turnout would be quickly in
creased. Probably only two signs.
would be needed: a small an
nouncement under a picture of
Van Johnson would get the need
ed attention from the femmes,
and as for the men-"Hey, Hos
ford! (Not the Rev. John) Have
you got another Varga portrait?"
