Senator Morse Will Be
Forum Speaker Friday
Sen. Wayne Morse, Independent from Oregon, will speak on "Needed: A Realignment of Political
Parties" at the last program of the Community Forum at 8 p.m. Friday in Schwab Auditorium:
A few hundred single reserved seats are available for $1.50 each at the Student Union Desk in
Old Main. Tickets will be sold until 8 p.m. Friday.
Senator Morse, a former Republican who broke with the party in the last
paign and now calls himself
independent, is the key man in
the control of the Senate. Count
ing him as a Republican (he still
sits on the Republican side) the
Republicans have the same num
ber of senators as the Democrats
-48. Without him the Rppublitans
theoretically are in a minority.
Of course, sometimes some of the
Southern Democrats vote with
the Republican senators.
Vofes Independent
Senator Morse; though he cam
paigned for Stevenson and the
Democrats in the last election,
has continued to vote independent
of either party Last year he spoke
continuously for 22 hours and 26
minutes to set a new individual
filabuster record. He explained he
was one of a "band of liberals"
who wanted to "focus public at
tention" on the Tidelands oil give
away.
Senator Morse was born in Wis
consin in 1900. He received his
master's deg r cc in economics
from the University of Wisconsin
in 1923. While teaching public
speaking at the University of Min
nesota he studied law and in 1928
went to Columbia on a graduate
law fellowship. In 1929 he became
an assistant professor of law at
the University of Oregon Law
School and two years later, at the
age of 31, he was dean of the
school,

Elected Senator in 1944
In 1944 he was elected to his
first six-year term as Senator
from Oregon, defeating a con
servative Democrat who la te r
joined the Republican party. Sen
ator Morse was re-elected in 1950
for a term ending January, 1957.
He formerly resigned from the
Republican party Oct. 18, 1952.
He claimed, "Liberalism in the
Republican Party is dead. In 1954
I will campaign for the Demo
crats." He was allowed to keep
his old seat on the Republican
side of the Chamber but he was
not given a seat on any Senate
committee. He is the first Senator
in 82 years to be involuntarily
without a seat on some committee.
To Leave After Speech
Morse will travel by train and
will arrive in State College in
time for dinner. He will leave
soon after the speech so there
will be no coffee hour after the
forum, Kent Forster, program
chairman, said yesterday.
R. Wallace Brewster, professor
of political science, will introduce
Senator Morse.

THE DAItY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PINNSYLVANIA
3 Fraternities
Have Unusual
House Guests
Fraternities have been accused
of having "animas" for members.
They have been teased about not
being able to distinguish the
pledges from the house dogs.
But now it seems there are
three houses that really do have
animals.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon has a
horned owl which was caught out
near Whipple Dam. It has been
named "Dynamite" by its owners,
Henry Cox and James Culbert
son. "Dynamite" now resides in
the back yard (it lived for awhile
in the coal bin) where it is fed
on English Sparrows which the
owners' shoot with a pellet gun.
Ludwig Bube of Sigma Phi Ep
silon was on his way to his eight
o'clock class last Wednesday
when he saw an animal which he
at first took to be a chipmunk. It
turned out to be an albino squir
rel which he was able to catch.
"Walter" is now caged in Bube's
room where it is fed on nuts, wat
er, bread and greens. Bube plans
to take "Walter" home with him
but if by some mishap "Walter"
should pass away the Zoology de
partment plans to mount him as
albino squirrels are very rare.
Of more common animals are
the baby chick s which James
Smith, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and
Richard McFeely, Phi Gamma
Delta, have in their rooms.
McFeely got "Smedley" fresh
from the egg in his poultry hus
bandry class two weeks ago.

departments to divisions, with the
title of the department head
changed to division chairman. The
titles of divisions were changed
to departments, with the title of
the former division chief changed
to department head.
Departments changed to divi
sions are earth sciences, mineral
engineering, and mineral technol
ogy.
Divisions 'changed to depart
ments are those of geology, min-
eralogy, geophysics and geochem
istry, meteorology, geography;
mineral economics, mining, min
eral preparation, petroleum and
natural.gas, fuel technology, me
tallurgy, and ceramics.
The name of the State College

bandry extension.
paid • members include sponsor
ship of class reunions and the
alumni institute, Home coming
weekend, and the Alumni Fund.
In addition, the Alumni office
maintains the only complete mail
ing list of University alumni, now
numbering almost 45,000. These
files are also used by the depart
ments and colleges of the Uni
versity as well as by fraternities
and sororities.
For this reason Riley urged the
graduating seniors to send the as
sociation new addresses and an
nouncements of marriages and
births - whether they join the or
