Mr.. Editor: Because we be-
lieVe that a great injustice has
been done the student government
or the Salem high school, we most
earnestly request that you allow
us to answer the accusations which
appeared in your editorial of Feb
ruary 25.
We would not be doing justice
10 ourselves as future citizens of
the United States if we did not
deeply resent and truthfully an
swer such charges as those which
appeared against us and our fell
low-students in the editorial in
question.
AT the outset we would like to
state that we not only invite, but
welcome the closest and most care
tul scrutiny of school conditions.
our only request is that those in
vestigatng do not limit them
selves to a small number of our
students.
1t has been said that "if all ac-
counts are true, the student body
has been running wild"
We would like to ask what ac-
counts are referred to and who,
in authority, is responsible for
these accounts" The editorial
states, "hazing is not the only de-
plorable incident that has focused
attention upon the institution"
What hazing is referred to? If the
statement refers to the unfortu-
nate club initiation of last Tues
day, we would like to say that this
was not school hazing and the
school cannot be held responsible
for the actions of it's clubs. We
believe the. "T. A" club can ac-
count for its actions satisfactorily.
With regard to jazz functions"
we would like to say that dancing
is prohibited in this school. The
so-called "secret societies" con-
form absolutely with the state law
concerning school organizations.
The student government cannot be
held responsible for "joy-riding,"
or dancing outside of school!
The article speaks of student
soviets." We are completely at a
a loss to know what this means.
Does this refer to the student gov
ernment itself or to the control of
the school as an institution of
learning? 1t is stated that the
cftt 10 ct.1 nf
school. Again we ask. who is the
for such a statement Il
Principal Nelson Superintendent |
Hug, or the faculty? Salem high /
has the highest scholastic standing |
of all high schools in this state.
Colossal ignorance,"- perhaps,
but was it the feigned wisdom Of
properly coached that
won the Oregon history contest
against all of the other |
schools in the state, that won a
high place in the army essay con-
test, that won the second place
among the debate teams of the |
state last year, that won the dis
trict championship last night, that
won the district championship of
basketball this season with nine
victories.
In conclusion, a minor, unfortu-
nate incident committed outside of
the school building. after school |
hours, and without the knowledge |
Of the majority of the school, has
been held up as typical of the ac-
tons of high school students while
he greatest achievements of our |
student organization have been
entirely overlooked. We do not
believe that any misrepresenta-
tons would be printed intention
ally, Mr.. Editor. but only feel that
they were the result of ignorance
If actual conditions.

ings Of Maj. Tyler. District En-
gincor. for the development Of

mo QUORUM TIFF
AGAIN ENLIVENS
HOUSE BUSINESS
Watson Overruled When
He Cites Religious
Freedom.

Invoking the aid of the Constitu-
tion of the United States and dig
ging up letters written by McClin-
tic six years ago were some of the
methods employed by the Repub-
licans yesterday to bring about an
abatement of the flibuster institu-
ted last week by the Oklahoma Kep-
resentative to maintain the presence
of quorum and to prevent the in
sertion of extraneous matter in the
Congressional Record.
For the third consecutive day Nc
.Clintic made a point of no quorum
before the opening prayer. Repre-
sentative Watson. OF Pennsylvania
contended such a call would be in
violation of the Constitutional pro-
vision allowing religious freedom
in that 1t empowered the Speaker
to arrest every absent member and
bring him on the floor. be he
Quaker. Jew or Catholic, and COM
pei him to listen to Protestant
prayer. Watson was overruled by
Speaker Gillett, who decided that q
point OF no quorum could be raised
at any time during the proceedings
Later, Representative Madden, OF
Illinois, read a letter. written by
McClintic when he first came Ia
Congress. asking number Of his
colleagues for any excess OF garden
seeds. agricultural bulletins and
other pamphlets they might have. To
send to his constituents. Madden
charged that a member who did this
should not be so particular about

milton to reply Madden had left the
